Is the Kodak Play Sport ZX5 compatible with iMovie '11?

I have had this camcorder (SD memory card) for over a year, just tried to download video from it today (it has a Kodak Camera USB Cable, Micro B/5 pin) and iPhoto '11 automatically opened, i downloaded the 4 still photos from the camera/SD card to iPhoto '11 with no problem. iMovie '11, however, does NOT recognize the camera or the SD card for me to attempt to download 43 videos. i could not find this camera (or ANY other Kodak cameras) listed on the Apple website as being compatible with the Mac computer. The booklet with the camera does stipulate that this camera has Arcsoft MediaImpression for Kodak software and when connected to a Windows computer this program will be prompted to be downloaded to the PC. No such download was indicated when i connected the camera to the Mac. Further on the same info page (7) It states: "Videos and pictures can be used with the Apple iLife suite of products". Not for me! Help! i tried moving the SD card to 2 other cameras (Panasonic & Canon) that are video capable with no recognition by iMovie '11 either. Would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Woo-Hoo! i found the answer to my query from a 2010 posting by: Robert Rogers in regards to the discussion:
"Movie '09 and the Kodak Playsport HD".
His advice worked like a charm:
"This camera is a lot of fun and when i connected it to iMovie 09 I, in the first case, had to go to File, Import Movies and navigate to the SD card and choose all the .mov files which then imported seamlessly. Was able to edit and share the movie no problem."
This worked for me as well in iMovie '11! Yay!

  • Does anyone know if the Sony hx50V camera is compatible with iMovie?

    Since I've had my iMac it has been hard finding a digital camera that has what I want and is compatible with my iMac.  I take lots of pictures and videos, especially at concerts and I have been through quite a few cameras and have not been satisfied with the results.  I have bought Panasonic brands and Canon because they were compatible with iMovie, but the pics and videos have been very disappointing.  For me it seems Sony cameras are the best but from past experience, some don't work with iMovie.  There is a new one that I would love to purchase, the Cybershot HX-50V.  It has great reviews and everything I am looking for in a camera.  But it doesn't specify if it will open the videos in iMovie.  If anyone has this camera, please let me know what you think of it and if it is compatible.  Or maybe some other suggestions.  I'm looking for a camera that is small and compact that has high zoom and good in low light.  Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

    The Cybershot HX50V uses SD or SDHC cards as well as Sony's proprietary cards, the MS duo. If using SD, you can remove the card from the camera and put it in the SD card slot in your iMac.
    The card will appear as a drive on your desktop (assuming you have Finder preferences set to show external disks on desktop).  You should then be able to import the files directly into iMovie.
    Here is some further info:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2153
    Before filming something important, experiment with file type settings to ensure your camera is recording in a format that iMovie will recognise.
    A general point about filming concerts (aside from the obvious ones about getting permission and ensuring copyright is not breached) - getting decent images (still or video) is difficult even with a really good camera. Lighting tends to be low so you end up having to use slow shutter speeds which means camera shake is a big problem - a good tripod (and a solid place to stand it) is essential.  Getting close enough to film is also a problem.  I have used a Canon SLR with top quality lenses (L series) wide angle and telephoto and with apertures up to f2 and still struggled to get images I am happy with. My photos tend to be of Brass Bands and these are comparatively well lit (when compared with rock concerts and the like).

  • Is the camcorder JVC GZ-EX210 compatible with mac and imovie?

    Is the camcorder JVC GZ-EX210 compatible with iMovie?

    I should add, my answer above is for "intermediate" or editing codecs. These are high quality codecs that preserve as much quality as possible in the editing process. Once you have finished editing, you would convert (or compress) to a delivery codec. THe intermediate codecs are too large to stream over the internet, or to play on your iphone, so you would convert.
    The best codec for this purpose is h.264, which provides a really good quality at a relatively low data rate, This means good quality with a relatively small file.
    h,264 is a subset of the MPEG4 standard.
    A h.264 movie can live in a MOV container, an MP4 container, a M4V container, and perhaps others, like AVI.
    By default, iMovie creates h.264 files in the m4v container for LARGE and smaller. For 720P and 1080P. it creates h.264 in a MV container.
    You can tweek the defaults by SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME

  • Panasonic HDC-SD9 Compatible with iMovie?

    Does anyone know if the Panasonic HDC-SD9 is compatible with iMovie in terms of easy to use downloading / editing / feature support (5.1) sound etc.
    Also, can someone point me to any links that will help get me up to speed on all the standards used such as HDV / AVCHD / etc as I'm new to movie making......
    Thanks

    OK, this is what the Panasonic people had to say about the issue!!!!!!!
    Dear MPearce100
    Thank you for your inquiry. IMovie and Final Cut are not compatible with
    the "high picture quality technology" of the AVCHD video.
    will need to wait for Apple to update it's video editing software to
    process the new "high picture quality technology" of the AVCHD video. You
    will need to wait for Apple to update it's video editing software to

    We hope this information is helpful to you.

  • HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
    If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
    Power up the Express for a full minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
    Just below that, click on AirPort Express
    What happens?

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hello All,
    I have seen this error message discussed in other posts on the forums here but the solution of deactivating and reactivating server publishing/infrastructure are not working for me. In fact I encountered additional errors when reactivating publishing at
    the site level. Powershell was necessary to reactivate site level server publishing.

    $web = $site.openweb()
     $correctId = $web.Lists["Pages"].ID $web.AllProperties["__PagesListId"] = $correctId.ToString()

  • Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

    Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

    Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

  • Is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

      is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

    The ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard  is  a Bluetooth keyboard that the manufacturer states is "compatible with most IOS devices"  but does not list Apple TV specifically, though the the different  IPADS that are compatible are listed.
    I did contact the manufacturer through an online Sales Associate Chat on their website and ironically they could not answer me.   They did take my email and stated they will research and get back to me.  That was only yesterday, 10/7/13 so I will give it a few days.
    I know there are other keyboards available, so maybe I will just research a little more.

  • Is the NI 1426 frame grabber compatible with a Line/Linear array scanner?

    Is the NI 1426 frame grabber compatible with a Line/Linear array scanner?
    I am currently doing a feasibility study of project which uses NI 1426 frame grabber and a Linear Array Scanner, and I would like to know if they are compatible with each other.
    Thanks in advance

    Solved!

    Hi sandeepchinni,
    I agree with gunnesjr that we need more information about what you mean by Linear Array Scanner.  Like he said if it is a line or area scan camera then yes it will most likely be compatible.  A little correction from what he said.  You do not need to purchase NI Vision if all you need to do is acquire images.  The framegrabber will come with the software that is need to work.  If you need to do any kind of image processing then you will need NI Vision.  The following knowledgebase lists what is installed with driver for the card.  Which Vis are Installed with NI-IMAQ and Vision Acquisition Software?

  • SRT Framework exception: The WSDL document is not compatible with proxy

    hello,
    I'd like to create a logical port to my web service but when I create this type of error:
    SRT Framework exception: The WSDL document is not compatible with proxy class "YAIRPORT_CO_AIRPORT_SOAP": "Unsupported Operation (s): getAirportInformationByISOCountryCode, getAirportInformationByAirportCode, getAirportInforma
    someone has an idea?
    thank you

    Hi,
    Most probably your class YAIRPORT_CO_AIRPORT_SOAP was't automatically generated by SAP from the .wsdl file. If so, then you have to generate it from this file and then create the logical port. For this purpose, go to se80, display the function group there you want to add the class, right-click it and choose Create -> Web Service. Then on the following screens choose Service Consumer, Local File and specify the .wsdl file for the web service you want to use. Finally specify a Package, Prefix and Transport Request, activate the changes and you're done. Now you can create the Logical Port.
    Hope this helps,
    Greg

  • The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page.

    Hi Everyone,
    I know there are a few previous resolution to this issue on TechNet.  Secifically:
    here... but i'm not convinced by the resolution of this issue.
    Basically we have exactly the same problem, but over hundreds of pages that were moved by a 3rd party.  You can see my dilemma, I dont want to have to go and recreate all the pages.
    Anyone got any new ideas about how to fix this?
    Cheers,
    Michael

    Hi,
    I understand that you get the following error message when checking in a publishing page.
    "Invalid SPListItem. The SPListItem provided is not compatible with a Publishing Page."
    This issue is typically a SharePoint Publishing feature issue on the site/site collection. You can deactivate and reactivate the feature and see how it works.
    Alternately, you can activate SP 2010 Publishing Feature using PowerShell. Check the following link for more information:

    The editor will work, pretty much, although you can't easily update the camera raw plug-in. The organizer will not even open.
