Importing .wmv and divx files

Hi there
Just bought a new MacBook Pro for digi editing and am keen to move and re-edit all my old PC .wmv and divx files. Can the new FCE or FCE HD do this? Is there any quick way of performing this transfer and then allowing me to edit in FCE HD?
All thoughts and help welcome.
Many thanks, Francis

  • Newbie mc user, needs basic .wmv  and DivX file advice

    Hi,
    first post here, new mac user of only 1 month standing! Sorry to display such ignorance...
    er... what software do I need to play .wmv (I presume that will need some form of conversion) and DivX media files on my mac??
    sorry if this is totally basic stuff, but any help would be most gratefully received!

    A company called Flip4mac makes a free WMV component for Quicktime. (Which means that after you install it, Quicktime can play WMV files.)
    Divx has a similar component for Quicktime, which is also free.
    A great source for finding this kind of thing is http://www.versiontracker.com/
    A quick search there for divx and wmv will take you right to the programs you need.

  • How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014

    How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014?

    Nonsense.
    Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out.

  • Trouble Importing MP4 and M4V files

    Hi, I am creating iMovies and importing them into YouTube as MP4 and M4v files. All was fine until a week ago, and now all MP4 & M4V files are failing to load in YouTube. I have had no luck on the YouTube discussion forum. Has anyone had this problem and offer a solution? I have tried the multi-loader to no avail. My videos are all to spec with YouTube ie less that 10 min and under 1 GB. Thanks for your help.

    Anyone seen this error before? I went ahead and recereated
    what I could in Flash but I have some other wmv and mov files that
    I would like to import, but right now I keep getting the error.
    Any help would be much appreciated. thanks!

  • Importing PDF and Photoshop files since using Windows 7 64bit

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded (?) to Windows 7 64bit.  I have notices when importing PDF and photoshop files into the InDesign document, the resolution of the graphics are off and the lines are choppy.  Even the fonts are illegible.  What happened?  Are there some settings that I need to into and tweek to bring everything back into alignment and focus?  (If those are the correct words.)  When I view the PDF files in windows, they are normal.  It is only when imported into InDesign that they are distorted.
    Thank you for any help.

    I run Maximized, so the window fills the available space (you can set the shortcut properties to open that way so you don't have to do it each time), or you could resize the window from the top, then grabe the title bar and drag it upward on the screen. Windows should remember the size and position, but it may not, being Windows, after all.

  • Import .pdf and ai file in indesign cc

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf and ai files in indesign cc 2014?
    Thanks

    If you're asking how to use a PDF or ai as a graphic in InDesign, File>Place is what you want. If you're asking how to manipulate the elements of a PDF or ai after it has been placed in InDesign, that's not how it works, although you can turn layers on or off in a placed ai file if you go to Object>Object Layer Options.

  • Importing MPEG and MPG files

  • HT4622 How to import .band and .mid files into GarageBand for iOS

    Using GarageBand for MacOS X, I have no difficulty importing and playing .mid (MIDI) files.  Indeed, I can even rename .kar (Karaoke) files to .mid, import them into GarageBand for MacOS X and see the lyrics along with the score.  Using File Sharing for iOS apps in iTunes.app, I have tried to import .mid and .band files (made from .mid files with GarageBand for MacOS X) using this mechanism.  I get no errors but it doesn't seem to work.  That is, neither the .band file nor the .mid file are accessible from within GarageBand for iOS as far as I can tell.  What should I be doing instead?

    As I understand it GarageBand for iOS .band projects can be imported to GarageBand for OS X, but the reverse isn't true. GarageBand for iOS does not import midi files.
    The File Sharing section of iTunes doesn't validate the files you put into it, but if the app doesn't like the structure of the file it will just ignore it.

  • Is it possible to... make a movieplayer that plays wmv and asf files?

    I have Flash 8 Professional. Is it possible to make a player
    in flash that plays wmv and asf files without first converting them
    to flashvideo? If so, where can I get info about this challenge?

    > Sorenson Squeeze should be able to do it for example.
    There might be others out there that's just the one I have
    The macromedia Standalone Encoder does it.
    It can process multiple files in the same time as well.
    (comes along with Flash 8 installation)

  • Playing AVI and DivX files

    I've recently bought a Mac Book and am struggling to play AVI and DivX files. What seemed so easy on my old PC now seems impossible on my Mac.
    I've looked at the past forums and tried a few past suggestions, but nothing works. I've tried downloading DivX for Mac with all the codecs, VLC Media Player, Perian and I've even tried coverting through DivX Doctor II.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I don't think this fixes your problem but it at least keeps the thread going until someone with the answer posts. The one thing you didn't mention was fip4mac. I don't know it those others cover what it does or not. If you have downloaded the file you can control click on the file and select get info. When that comes us select open with. Change what ever that is to QuickTime. Sometimes that lets you view some files. I feel your pain, the change over takes a little time. Hang in there mate, it will be worth it.

  • Importing .MOD and .MOI files to iMovie - from JVC EverioS GZ-MS100

    I'm desperate in finding a solution on the problems I have with importing .MOI and .MOD files to iMovie from a JVC EverioS GZ-MS100.
    I have looked up all advices I can, also on this forum... But nothing seems to work for me at all!
    PLEASE someone tell me asap how I can get my videos to iMovie so I can start editing my videos...
    Thank you so much in advance!!
    I have iMovie '09 version 8.0.6 (821).

    The Zi6 is not on the compatibilty list however I based my knowledge on this review at macworld.com
    http://www.macworld.com/article/135948/2008/10/kodakzi6.html
    "To copy your captured content to the Mac, flip out the USB connector, switch on the camera, and jack it into a free USB 2.0 port. If you have the latest version of iPhoto, it launches and offers to import the separate video and image files. If you don’t have the most recent version of iPhoto, you’re welcome to import files into iMovie ‘08 with the File: Import Movie command, or into iMovie HD via the File: Import command. Each command produces an Import navigation window, where you can locate the movies on the attached camera (within the DCIM folder).
    The Zi6’s movies are encoded in the H.264 format; as a result, there’s no need to install another codec to use them as you would for movies recorded with the Flip cameras, because H.264 is natively supported by QuickTime (and therefore iMovie and Final Cut Pro). Audio is recorded in the AAC format at 48 Kbps."
    So this suggests iMovie 08 will accept the file format the Zi6 porduces. I will attempt file conversion before I loose iMovie 06 though.

  • Importing sf and sd2f files?

    How do i import sf2 and sd2f files into GB2?
    Also is there a good website for learning about different file types?

    You can find sound fonts here:
    http://www.sf2midi.com/index.php
    http://www.hammersound.net/
    http://www.fox-gieg.com/rkhive/synth.html
    After you download them put them in the following path:
    HD/User/Your Home/Library/Audio/Sounds/Banks.
    Thats were I put mine SoundFonts after I DL them.
    I keep the "Banks" folder in the left side of the finder window (don't know the name of that area) so I can just drop my font into it without having to open all those folders everytime. I keep the "Components folder there also for the same reason.

  • Converting .wmv and .asf files

    Hi all,
    I have to stream, with rtmp, some .wmv and .asf files.
    Flash media server doesn't work with this kind of files, correct me if I'm wrong,
    but it only works with .mp4 and .flv files.
    How can i do to convert these files?
    What tool can i use?
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have Adobe Flash CS4 or CS5 - if yes - it comes with Adobe Media Encoder which you can use to convert files to .mp4 or .flvs. I have not used it to convert above format files - but if you this software you can give it a try. Also there should be may open source softwares which you can search over net which converts file from one format to another - you can try them out - one of the is MediaCoder (http://www.mediacoderhq.com/) - there should be others too. Once you convert into FMS supported format - you can run flvcheck tool from FMS installation to check validity of the file - if it passes flvcheck tool (it works for mp4 files too) - you converted file should have no issues in streaming via FMS.

  • Getting WMV and MVI files to itunes.And ipod

    I recently filmed a video of a family event. And wanted to transfer the video to Itunes. The original file extension was mvi. but i also changed the file to wmv. But, itunes would not allow me to import or click and drag into my library. Any Help?

    iTunes cannot play WMV or MVI files (nor, BTW, can you change a format just by changing the filename extension). You'll need to convert the video to a format iTunes can handle. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads with suggestions as to utilities you can use to do the conversion.
