Importing video with Canopus 300

Having a problem with the Canopus 300 powering up...I have read that if connecting with firewire a external power supply is not needed. Is this true?
Also, do I need another software package to import the video or will IMovie import directly?

Does it have an advantage over iMovie 06 for importing? If I edit in iMovie 06 or iMovie 08 why use it?
Other than being a small, independent capture dedicated application compatible with more operating systems, it probably provides little or no advantage over iMovie other than its A/V monitoring capabilities. I use it on a very old and very slow laptop which I keep connected to my entertainment system for occasional capture of Sat TVRO DVR content I put on my iPod/iPhone for viewing while spending hours in medical waiting rooms with my dad who is in his mid-80s and has multiple appointments every week. (I.e., I'm not editing anything here, just converting it so I can watch it at a more convenient time and place.)

Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

This is what that error means:

permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

I couldn´t see imported videos with Adobe Premiere pro

Hello:
My name is Oren. I´m from Spain, and this is my problem.
One month ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 850-31M. It has an x64 processor, 16 GB of RAM and I have 2 hard drives, the c: an SSD of 500 GB and other of 1 Tb hardisk, configured as D:. It has a GeForce GT 630M graphics card with 2 GB of RAM. W8 operating system.
I wanted to try the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I downloaded the trial version. No problem, until I tried to import a video in the source window. Appears a small window that says "importing" and give to play in the source window and start .Audio be heard, but not the image. I've tried different video formats and always the same. The same video are seamlessly Quick Time and other video viewers ..... I do not know what to do, I think I've tried everything, even restart the computer to its factory settings and install Adobe Premiere vacuum and the problem remains. I tested with a trial of Premiere CS5.5 and got it. You hear the audio but no video . Insert the video in the timeline and recognizes it as such, even the first frame, but said, is not seeing in the "source", nor in the preview, only the audio.
What could it be? Am I you could lend a hand I'm desperate?
thank you very much

Hello:
I have the vídeos in a hard-disk. I'd tried in different video formats and
always the same. I hear the audio but I couldn't see the video image.

Importing video with sound to GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4

Importing video with sound to GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4
My daughter has an iPad 2 with GarageBand 2.0 and iOS 7.0.4. She would like to import a video file which has a sound track on it to GarageBand for iPad so that she can add an additional sound track to it. The video/audio file to be imported would be in AVI, MPEG2 or another iPad compatible format. Is this possible? If so, how would the mechanics work? Would you: (1) load the file into the Movies section of iTunes and import the file from the Movies section of iTunes; (2) save the file onto an SD card and import the video/audio file from the SD card by inserting the SD card into an "SD adaptor" on an "iPad Camera Connection Kit"; or (3) email the video file to yourself and upload it to GarageBand from email?

This is part of a mobile training application and I allow the learner to record an audio response in addition to viewing the videos. When they record a response, you can hear the playback so the device has its volume up and working when the app is running. Since I posted this issue, I switched to .flv video and that plays ok. It's apparently the .mp4 video that's a problem. I'm encoding it with ffmpeg and suspect that it's something with the settings. Do you have a recommendation for mp4 settings for OSMF?

Importing video with correct date

I'm having issue importing videos into iphoto with the original date of the video. I'm importing from a canon vixia HFS10, when i tried it a month or so back it went into iphoto correctly, with the original date but now whenever i try it, even with the same videos that worked date wise before, it only imports into iphoto with the date that i actually imported it with.
Any ideas?
I know you can alter the date via the edit options, but this seems a bit backward when i know, somehow, that i can import the video automactially with the date.

i only imported the videos from the same camera, one time they went with the date it was taken, the other time i tried a couple of weeks later it only imported with the date of import so it's not the camera

Import video with audio question

When I start a new project and import a video with audio, then drag to the timeline , it puts the latter on audio 4 track instead of track 1. Why is it skipping 3 tracks?

. Thanks Bill. It was a mono track and the 3 above were stereo. I deleted the 3 empty tracks and now it is below the video directly. What I am also wondering about is why the video track can be widened vertically,by dragging the bottom border and the previous audio 1 track could be also, but this one can not. Is it not possible to see the waveform as I can when I imported an audio file in a different project? That one was expandable veritically.There was no video in that one.

Playing imported video with button

So I'm working on a project that requires me to click a transparent button in the Flash presentation and have an imported video appear, play, and then disappear. I've scoured the internet but can't for the life of me find what I'm looking for. Would someone be willing to give me a hand. I'm new to Flash and this honestly sounds easy enough but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
Thanks

Hi,
I have the same issue with my video clips mixed with photos in the iPhoto Library!
Is there really no possibility to show them in a mixed mode with FrontRow?
@Apple: Cant' you update FrontRow with this feature?
The only application I found for that issue is Photeo Presenter!

[CS4] importing video with xdv8 codec...

Okay, I am on a windows version of premiere pro CS4. I am not very experienced with the software, so this could be amazingly obvious/simple, or it may truly be as hard as I am finding it to be. I need to import a video file, currently a .mov. I believe but am not certain that it was made on an Apple with Final Cut Pro. Premiere gives me a missing codec error.
When I try to play the file in most of my video players, including QuickTime, I get a missing or unsupported codec error (the sound generally plays fine, though - just the video is missing).One of my players actually named the codec, I believe... saying there was an error with xdv8 codec. So I did some googling, and found that mplayer has that codec.
So I download and install the latest mplayer for windows (SMPlayer to be precise), and it plays the video fine. However I still cannot import this video into Premiere. And the SMPlayer doesn't offer an export, save as, etc. function.
I found all of the codec .dll files that the SMPlayer uses, but have no idea how (if it is possible) to get Premiere to recognize them... and I am not sure which it is, as none of them have xdv8 in the title.
Is there a way to import a codec into premiere if it is not part of a codec installer package?
Does anyone know where I can get a codec installer package for Premiere that includes the xdv8 codec?
Is there any other way to work around this issue?
Thanks!!!

One of my players (VLC Player, from Video Lan) gave an error stating that the xdv8 codec was missing or not supported. A ton of googling later found that the MPlayer does support the codec - and when I installed said MPlayer (the SMPLayer GUI for windows), I can play the video.
My issue is that the video comes from an indirect source; my client (I am a web designer, this client has a lot of streaming video on the site) has the videos created by a "professional" local studio... who is (in my opinion) anything but pro. I have no direct contact with them, and when I ask for anything to be done, such as getting the video in a different format, it can take weeks or longer before I get a response. So since I have Premiere, I started doing my own editing of the videos to get them web ready. The videos are being shot for TV (they get broadcast on the Fox Business Network)... so I have no idea if this codec is best (or even good) for that medium, but I need to convert it into 3 various sized flv files for web streaming.
UPDATE: I now see that the codec is ffmpeg2, and the 'format' is xdv8. I have no idea what that means!
When I get properties through the SMPlayer, I see the following info;

Importing Video with AC3 encoding

Hi,
I am completely new to FCE 4.0. For years, I've been using my Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD403) to capture my raw footage. The camcorder an onboard Dolby Digital AC3 encoder which I use all the time. I import the video to my PC since using the Sony Picture Perfect software to preserve the AC3 encoding. However, when I import it into FCE 4.0, the video plays fine but I get now audio whatsoever.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Randy

Thanks for the tip. I ended up using the MPEG Streamclip function "DEMUX to M2V and AC3" to divide the original video file into a discrete video (.m2v) and audio (.ac3) file. I then imported into FCE 4. I was not sure how to load the two files into the Preview window, so I instead chose to drag each file separately into the Sequence window. To get all 6 audio channels I had to add 2 more audio channels prior to loading. FCE requires that you render the entire clip first after completing the render, I was able to replay the clip with full 6 channel Dolby Digital.
There is still one thing that I cannot figure out. Which audio channel corresponds to its respective audio output (ie. A1 = Front Left, A2 = Right Left, A3 = Centre, ...).
Anyone know the answer?
Thanks,
Randy

Cant Importing video with superdrive

I have alwase used the firewire to import with without problems,I reciently tried to import with the superdrive and also to drag and drop video folders without success. I know the answer must be obovious but not to me. thanks for helping. Hardhead

The files on a DVD are in the final (standard) DVD format of mpeg2, which is heavily condensed and not intended for editing. It therefore involves some quality loss to import those files, convert them, and import them into iMovie. But it can be done:
Insert the DVD in your superdrive, and double click the icon. You now have a folder containing lots of odd sounding files.
You need to convert those VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
(Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
Once they are converted to DV you can import them into iMovie.

Importing video with chapters into iDVD

I'm editing a video of a concert and trying to separate the different pieces into chapters. I used iMovie 10.0.4 on my computer running 10.9.4 to edit, and added markers, then tried using iDVD 7.1.2 on an older computer running 10.7.5 to create the menus and burn the disc. Then I discovered that the "marker" option in iMovie doesn't actually create a chapter. I tried a couple freeware programs to add chapters so that iDVD would recognize the different scenes, but no matter what I try, when I drag the video onto the "Chapters" submenu I've created in iDVD, it shows the entire video only, and not the individual chapters.
I don't have the budget to buy Final Cut Pro or Toast or any other fancy programs, but I'm thinking of trying "Thinker DVD Creator Pro" from the App Store, which is $20. Anybody have experience with this one?
I'm writing here to ask for tips, tricks, or wisdom from people who have done this stuff before and have a preferred program or workaround. Please let me know if there are any more tech specs or details I should give.
Thanks!
Amelia

Hi
I used iMovie 10.0.4 on my computer
It doesn't have - Chapter mark function.
Apple's idea of upgrade - is in some cases - taking away functions. There was a way round this by importing Movie into GarageBand and setting Chapters here. But GarageBand was also UPGRADED
So using Toast etc will not help - iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) can not do this.
I would rather use
- iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x) - or
- FinalCut - any version (that might work on Your Mac)

Importing Video with audio- Converting MPEG comes out pixelated

I've got two problems.
I know I need to convert my MPEG movie to another format, and I cannot remember which, in order for FCE to capture the audio that comes with it. Right?
Do you know which format and specifications I need?
Also-
I've been using an MPEG Streamclip program to convert, but whatever I try (I havent gotten to importing it to FCE, so I dont even know if the audio will come in there or not) the video comes out extremely pixelated. I know it can be remedied, because the original is in much better quality. Ive tried MPG4 an Quicktime movies, but nothing is working. Is it the frame rate? Anything else? I am drawing a blank.
ANY help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

From Streamclip export to QuickTime. Set the codec to DV NTSC and the frame rate to 29.97.

Alternatives for importing video with two audio paths.

So, I been on the Mirillis Action!(Screen Recorder) Forums and, have not found the solution. The problem is when I import the file it says its not supported.
Like you see there, so the video specs are .avi files with 2 audio paths.(Action! recorder has a feature where it records your commentary and saves it in the avi file as the second audio path) Apparently, WMP only plays the game sound, not video at all. Plus, Virtual Dub will not import it. (See second image)So I don't know how to fix this but, you guys are good at using this program! I hope you guys will find a solution soon. I'm thinking of getting some codecs, but I don't know where to start.

Someone help me find the problem it was this So, I'm all set thank you for your time.

Lose color with canopus 300 converter from computer to TV

I have a new Sharp 15 in TV to use with FCE so I can see my movie on an analogue TV and edit color appropriately. The TV works well as a stand alone or when connected to a deck. But when I connect the Canopus advc-300 converter to my computer and put my FCE movie through the converter to the TV, I lose yellows and greens in the signal bar and throughtout the movie. I know it is not the TV causing the problem. So I am guessing my settings are not right on the converter. The Canopus help site is down because of some sort of transfer to Grass Valley and has been down for several days. Does anyone use this converter and know what I am doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated
Imac G5 Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, I have the manual and have been trying to make sense of it.
All dip switches were off, but I took your advice and turned on the 7.5 IRE.
Yes, it is in Digital mode and has been. When I hold it down for 3 seconds I get the bar code with no yellows or greens. Then the movie does not start, just the bar code. So I toggle that off and try again and the movie does not play on the TV screen.
I have the Easy Set up for out to DV converter. I am using a component cable and red and white cables for audio.
I always turn the converter off before I do anything.
3D processing and 3D noise reduction light up only if converting from analogue to digital, so that never lights when in DV mode.
It worked a day ago with the lousy color but then I thought it was my TV, but checked the TV out with cable input and with a deck and a DVD I had made and it is fine, the color is good.
So I deleted my recent FCE preferences from my Library, restarted and am in the fix I am in now.
I appreciate your advice, but no luck so far. Any more advice would be very much appreciated.
