Is there free software I can use to convert mts videos for Mac

My son gave me three movies he took on a Canon Vixia that are in mts format. I can only open them in VLC, but I want to put them online and usually use Quicktime to make the files smaller for the web. These files won't open in Quictime or in iPhoto or iMovie or iTunes. I don't want to buy software, because I just need it for these particular movies - I downloaded two kinds of software that worked fine but put a large company logo on the upper left of the movie after it was converted if one wanted to use it free. Can anyone recommend a way that I can make these files compatible so I can upload them to the web?
Alternatively, is there a reliable, inexpensive bit of software I could download so I can process these films? I'm not averse to paying, but will only use this software once, probably. Thanks for your help.

Hi Barbara,
Not aware of a free converter, but there are free players...

Hi, what to use to convert mts video...?

Hi,
What do you recommend I use to convert mts video to MPEG4?
(I have MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.7)
(I am looking for something free or cheap - I found shareware Tanbee AVCH but does not seem to work.)
I have imovie to edit.
Secondly, how do you extract the audio from a video file?
Thanks!

I am using Total Video Converter on App store, which can do mkts to mpeg4. Additionally, not only can it support extract audio from video, but support multiplex video and audio into one file.

Is there a software I can use that functions like adobe flash?

I am currently working on my business web site using Go Daddy as my provider. I use iPad to work on the project, but have a issue with installing images, and videos. Their program requires "flash player" which is not compatible with iPad. Question, is there any other software you suggest I can use to help me with my site?

There are browsers in the App Store that play flash( sky fire, puffin, photon).
I like puffin, it's what I use. The full is 2.99$ unlimited flash. They have a lite version which is nice, so you can see if it would work. Search puffin lite. The lite only has 15 minutes of flash.

Mediainfo wont give me the Max Bit Rate Capability all the time. Is there other information I can use to convert to obtain this? Thank you

Below is the information I received from Mediainfo. Is there a way I can figure out the the maximum Bit Rate Capability with this? Lately I have have had movies stop half way through and I think I think the MBPS is too large on some of them. On some moveies Mediainfo will give me the MBPS.
Thank you

Hi, I just watched the video for the Microcell and you have to use your broadband connection to get it to work and the problem is my broadband connection is down the times I'm using my 3G. That's why I use it, because my broadband connection is not working so much of the time.
Any other suggestions? :-)

Is there ANY software I can use to make a DVD playable by PC's Macs and DVD

OK, I have been fooling around for over a year on this and still have no answers. Here's part of my original post. I have home movies that were done with film and transfered to m2p files. I want to make copies for my daughters, who have DVD players and PCs. One has a Mac. I used Toast 10 to convert to mpeg4. I burned a DVD with Toast. It plays on the PCs and on the DVD players, but NOT my Mac. I tried H264 format...same thing. I can burn the mpeg4 files to a DVD with Quicktime Pro and they play on my Mac, but not on the DVD players. Commercial movies play on anything. Is there anyway I can do this on my Mac???
Jim Frank (still perplexed)

Thanks Jeremy, here's what I can tell you. I played a commercial DVD in my Mac and it played fine. It opens up with DVD player. I put the DVD I made in the Mac. I made several of them in different manners. On one, I converted the m2p file to mpeg 4. Then I burned in Toast , selecting DVD_video. On another, I did a convert to H264 and burned it using DVD_video. The third I just copied the m2p file into Toast and used DVD_video. When I did the burn on all 3, I went to the menu option and put in a title and used the passport style for my title page.
When I put the DVD in the Mac, it automatically opened to the Title page, in passport style. When y ou click on the play button, nothing happens. Can't fast forward, can't open menu, etc. I closed out DVD player and went to Quicktime player. I clicked on "open file" and selected the DVD in the finder window. When I click on it, it opens to the Audio_ts and Video_TS folder. Clicking on the video folder I get 8 different folders in there. Clicking on most of them does nothing. Clicking on the one that looks like a Quicktime folder, I get the message " not a movie folder" I also tried to open it using VLC player. It opens u p the Title page, like DVD player and you can't get it to play.
So now what do you think!

Is there any way I can use the same email address for my Facetime account on my mac and my itouch?

I set up my Facetime account on my mac with no problem. When I went to set up my account on my itouch it said "account cannot be verified because it is already in use." Is there any way to have the same account on my mac and my itouch?

You should be able to. I did. See:
iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'
Just remember if both have the same calling address, you can't call the other device. I tried that too.

Is there any player i can use to have the subtitles for my movies.

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

Is there any way I can use Skype Number with Viber...

Hello. With my Skype Number is there any way I can use it with Viber? So I give my Skype NUmber to a friend and they add me on Viber? Or do I have to divert my skype numebr to my actual number?

Hi, if you give your Skype number to your friend they can make a Viber Out call to that number if they have some viber credit. Calls to landlines are usually cheap but it depends where in the world your friend is calling from.
Have you got a Viber account too ? Viber to Viber over the Internet is free, like Skype to Skype being free. Persoanally I have both networks now.
Viber is on smartphones, some feature phones and there's a desktop app too. Your Viber account is based upon the mobile number you register and Viber recognises phone numbers of your contacts to see if they're registered on Viber too.

Allan,
If you get your album artwork from the iTunes Store, it is stored in the folder iTunes/Artwork in an encrypted ".itc2" file. There may be tools out there to extract it, but it is generally much easier to get the art via a web search in JPG format to use in projects.

We have a virus, any software I can use to get rid of it?

We have a virus, any software I can use to get rid of it?

You don't have virus. Please describe the symptoms that makes you thing you have. Also:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

Is there a program I can use to retrieve corrupted .MOV files, from a HD memory card where some files will open, and others wont?

Hi,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.
I have recently shot some still and moving footage on my Cannon EOS 500 D (digital camera) using an AMICOE SD C10 8 GB high speed memory card.
After uploading these photos and movies onto my Mac, I am only able to open about 2/3 of the files that appear on the screen. In the case of the movie files, I can see a number of the file icons, however about 1/3 of them will not open (I get a message saying that Quicktime does not recognise this file - yet it is a .MOV file. Interestingly I can see a small thumbnail for each of these files that will not open, however I am unable to expand the thumbnail into the larger size) and there are a number of photos that simply do not appear as a file or thumbnail.
Is there a program I can use to retrieve these corrupted .MOV and JPEG files from either my computer or the memory card?
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Cheers,
Shaughno.

....to add to the last part... When adding to the iTunes library,- I need iTunes to make a quick-scan to verify that media I am adding isn't already in there,- preventing duplicates that make remedial tasks of removing* duplicates so annoying and unproductive...
