Is a .VOB video format compatible with FCP

I have been sent a DVD with .VOB format which I have imported into FCP, but there is no sound.
Is this non compatible, or have I done something wrong?

when you use "open" "video TS" and select a VOB file in your DVD --pick up any one- , the program should ask whether you want to open all files ?
Do you get this message ?
if yes your DVD is probably not protected.
If you use DVDxdv, and your disk is protected, you should see green squares on the screen when you open files and get weired sound.

QT Pro recorded video not compatible with FCP?

Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
I never tried this before and was surprised.
It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks,

The files open fine in QT player.
640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
Thanks for your help,

Video formats compatible with iPhone

I have some video files that will sync with iPhone and some will not.
Looks like mp4 will and WMV will not. What formats will iPhone accept, and how can I change the wmv's to be compatible. Thanks.

Copied from the iPhone specifications link.
http://support.apple.com/specs/iphone/iPhone.html
+Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats+
If the video file plays in iTunes, select the video and at the menu bar go to Advanced and select Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone. This will duplicate the selection. Try selecting the converted file to be transferred to your iPhone via your iPhone sync preferences.

Now this is strange.
I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
29.97
640 x 480 pixels
Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
Why?
Thanks

Video cameras compatibles with iMovie6 or FCP 5 ???

Please: which is the link which gives the list of the video cameras
compatible with iMovie6 and CPF 5 ???
thank you for the answer.

Apple's original compatible camcorders page was never kept properly up-to-date, as Apple just couldn't test every single camcorder which was produced.
So now Apple just refers people to the camcorder makers' own pages ..in that link (above) posted by Kirk.

Cameras compatible with FCP

Hello everyone. I'm curious to find out if there is a list that apple or FCP puts out that has all the cameras that are compatible with FCP and if it stays current. About a month ago I was at the beach and my home video camera was left unattended, and was drowned by a huge wave. Luckily I didn't take my Sony FX1. (Which is what I originally was going to do) Anyhow, I'm going to go and buy my wife another camera in the $700.00 to $1,000 dollar range and I want to make sure that whatever camera I purchase I can download the footage in FCP 6. Thanks

Indeed.
As a filthy Englishman, I do not celebrate this holiday.
But all the best to you and yours anyway.

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie?

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie? I tsays it is not a readable format. can that be changed?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
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.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Where can I find a list of Camcorders compatible with FCP X?

Where can I find a list of Camcorders compatible with FCP X?

I'll modify that first word!
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/cameras/en/index.html?
However, be aware that Apple has neither the time nor the incentive to test every camera on the market, so there will be many more models, old and new, that will work perfectly even though they are not on the database.

Saving as .eps format compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS6 or earlier versions

saving as .eps format compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS6 or earlier versions??
does this mean cs6 or newer, or cs6 and older versions?

Don't use EPS anymore. It has been replaced by PDF or AI with PDF compatibility. If you use PDF use either a PDF/X-4 or a PDF without flattening transparency, so you will be able to use layers in other applications.
If you need to use a file in an older version you should save it as AI file in the version you want to open it. But it can happen, when you use some effects it can cause a flattening or rasterizing of a file or parts of it. So keep ALWAYS the file in the version you have created it.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

Are these cameras compatible with FCP?

Does anyone out there know if any of these cameras is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5/6? It's not listed on the compatibility list, but I have a hard time believing Sony or Panasonic would make any camcorders that are not compatible with FCP these days. I just want to make sure however, before I buy.

The qualifying devices list is not a good standard to judge by. There are many "devices" that work fine and aren't listed, and conversely, devices that are listed but may not function if the user is also using a certain third-party device; for example, certain listed Canons may indeed work well with FCS2, but attach an external drive to the same FireWire bus and it all goes fubar.

Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
Is it compatible or not?
If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
Thank you in advance for your help.

If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

ITunes Video not compatible with 5th generation 60GB video iPod

I downloaded several videos from the iTunes store to my Mac G4 1.67 powerbook. When updating my iPod, I received a message that some of the videos, really only one, was not downloaded to the iPod because the format was not compatible with my new 5th generation iPod. It seems to play fine on my G4. How can there be a compatibility problem with at video purchased from iTunes and downloaded to a Mac and transferred to a 5th generation iPod ? Anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks.

Thank you, lllaass. Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information? Who is writing the review? It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews? I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device?

Dvd of non-broadcast standard size video movies possible with FCP & DVDSP4?

Hi all,
I pulled my hair out trying to produce training tutorials with screencasts (Snapz Pro X2) using FC Express and iDVD. After months of trial and error (and tons of Q&A), it was finally explained to me that I couldn't do this with FCE and iDVD because they were hard wired to output to ntsc/pal or miniDV formats etc.
So I've invested in FC Studio and it should arrive in a few days. My question is, how can I edit my video screen captures in FCP (for example captured at 800x600 pixels, 30fps) and then using DVD Studio Pro, create a dvd that can be viewed on a computer monitor (not interested in playing on a tv)?
The problem I was having before was that every time things were converted down to 720x480, all the video got blurry and I ran into problems with the square pixel vs non-square pixel issues that I never could figure out.
Will DVDSP let me somehow create an interface for playing my clips on a computer, but not force me into the ntsc/pal standard format? Or, even if it does force me into this format (I guess it would if I'm expecting to play it using Apple's DVD Player), is there a way I can ensure my video stays sharp? I need to be able to display small on-screen text (ie Finder windows, application pallets etc) in the screen captures clear enough to be easily read.
I know if I leave them as edited QT movies and played them with the QT Player, this would be easy, but I like having chapters and the attractive interfaces I can create with the dvd authoring apps to help the user navigate through the tutorial.
Any help at all is appreciated.

G4/1.3Ghz DP AGP Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks Hal,
I'll give this all a try again. I've done four tutorials so far. Mainly to assist in training others that work with me on projects. The first one, I did as you suggested because I was able to size things down to fit within our ntsc format here in the USA. But the last three used apps that didn't permit sizing their main windows and pallets down to these small sizes, plus there were times where I needed to show close up of data entry fields.
In any case, the next time I do this, I'll be using FCP and not FCE, thus I hope this will solve some of the export format issues. FCE really only works with miniDV formats (and HD video). Although I can export to a QT conversion file and keep everything looking great, I'll loose all my chapter markers doing this and the video will go through another conversion when I process it for standard dvd playback.
I'm hoping FCP will provide me an option for exporting the project in a format that'll work with iDVD/DVDSP that'll maintain the clarity of the original clips generated via SPX.
Thanks for your help. What I didn't want to do was spend weeks trying to do something in FCP/DVDSP that couldn't be done.
BTW, if you look at the sample tutorials for FC Studio on Apple's web site,
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/tutorials/
those are REALLY done nice. That's what I'd like to be able to eventually do. They manage to do zooming, panning and have pallets "slide" into the viewing area. Granted a lot of this is done in post, but I'd still like to know how they get these results and what tools they're using.
They also say that this tutorial is available on the dvd that comes with the suite, so somehow they've gotten all of this to work (but aren't telling us how). I've been looking and asking questions for over six months and can't find ANYONE doing this type of work, that'll say how this type of stuff is done.
