M2V1 PROBLEM, TRIED EVERYTHING

I imported video in imovie 8 that has unreadable video in all players. The codecs in FCP dont seem to work with the files as they should, just as in vlc. I have used ffmpeg, quicktime with mpeg2 codecs, streamclip.
i used a hex editor and changed the m2v1 mp2v
this footage is very important and it no longer exists on the jvc everio
help me.

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for responding and for directing people to my earlier thread.
When the video is imported to the Apple via iMovie it is seamlessly converted "on the fly" from a .mod extension to a .mov extension. Once that has happened, there should be no need to do anything further, and certainly no need to change the file extension.
My suggestion to Kevorkian would be to put the files on a flash drive, and try them in a different Mac, to see if there is a problem that is specific to his computer. I might even be worthwhile to try them on a Windows computer. I have a lot of good luck with Pinnacle Studio 14 for Windows. It seems to read almost anything, and if it reads it, it can convert it to other formats, including formats that should be usable back on the Mac.
I do feel a need to reply to your other comment regarding JVC's strange file formats.
Granted, in the early days of HD camcorders there was not a consensus on the best recording format. I think everyone, including JVC, did their best to anticipate where this new technology was going, and tried to bring to market formats that would be compatible with the widest range of applications. The good news is things have now standardized.
HD is the most standardized. Virtually every "better" HD camcorder these days uses AVCHD with a .mts file extension. This includes JVC on their HD Everio models. We have been using this since 2008. As you indicate, it works very nicely with iMovie '08/'09 as long as you have an Intel processor. So, there is nothing strange about that format.
For standard definition, JVC SD Everio camcorders have always used MPEG2 with a .mod file extension. Many other brands use this as well, so it is also certainly not a strange file format.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Chris

  • GUI Problem, Tried everything!

    So, I've got "Secrets" installed. It's a fun little add on that adds a lot of useful preferences, and browsing through it tonight I decided to see what "Use Metal Appearance in All apps" under "system" did. Apparently, it changes all your windows from the default gradient look to a flat metal look. Nifty, but I liked the regular skin better, so I unchecked the box and hit revert, and restarted.
    Here's where the fun starts.
    Though that should've reverted everything back to normal, it instead made finder permanently look inactive (Traffic lights and buttons will appear active, though gradient color is white.) With metal windows enabled, windows always appear active, even when inactive. When I try to disable it and go back to normal, windows always display inactive, even when active.
    I tried everything I could possibly think of to fix this, from entering something into terminal I found online that supposedly cures it, to installing Themepark and re-theming Leopard, to uninstalling secrets.. Finally in exasperation, I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard.
    Nothing has worked, and I don't have the technical know-how of OS X's inner workings to fix it myself, though I'm sure there's something buried somewhere in system files or a terminal command that'd fix this? I'd really appreciate any help!

    This is probably just something stuck in your home preferences folder somewhere..
    try creating a new user and see if the problem persists.. I'm guessing not.
    If the new user does NOT have the same problem, muck around in your home/library/preferences folder and look for perhaps a 'secrets' files... just delete it, log out and back in... It is most likely just a simple file you need to delete to have the OS re-generate the correct one for you... logging out and back in after you delete a preferences file should do this.

  • USB 2.0 PROBLEM, TRIED EVERYTHING PLEASE HELP ME, BAD COSTUMER SUPP

    A High-speed USB device would definitely work with a "low" speed USB port. No problems with that. Perhaps you can try plugging it in to other ports on the computer.
    Next, ensure that you have the latest firmware, drivers and updates for softwares (mediasource etc.) ready. Your comp. should work after you've done all that.

  • That old 'disp+work.EXE dispatcher' problem - tried everything !

    Hi,
    I have been having the same problem as described recently in another thread (but didn't want to hijack it, hence this new one), where when I try to run the application server from the Netweaver 7.01 ABAP trial version there is an error: 'disp+work.EXE dispatcher not running'.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times, and this seems to finish correctly (I delete the folders beforehand as explained elsewhere). I have edited my services file to make sure the port numbers are correct (and neat !). Basically the program seems to start up (green background) and after a minute or so goes yellow (after the error message has flagged up).
    My system is an XP laptop, with plenty of memory/diskspace. I am a complete newcomer, so please be gentle with me.
    Any ideas ? Or has everyone packed up already ?
    Merry Christmas,
    Nick

    Uninstall minisap installation. Than change computer name lower than 13 chars. My suggestion a simpler name like "minisap" .In most cases Microsoft gives complex computer name like yunus-ax8323akdm . With minisap installation your computer name is host name like PROD QA.After change computer name restart setup and re-install. You will see everything is ok. Sometime you have to start manually database from SAP MMC (console)

    I tried typing the constructor correctly but its not working...what happens is that accordion opens with the default 200px height panel and then the others are frozen.
    This is my CSS. I dont know what to do with the panel content height although I tried using it or not and the result is the same... I cant imagine what the problem is.

  • Screen wake up problem/ tried everything-please help!

    I have had the my G2 since September and have absolutely loved it. A couple of weeks ago, it seemed to get a little "twitchy" with some erratic touch screen behavior (delayed responsiveness, over responsiveness, etc). Then, one day, the "knock on" (double tap to wake up phone) feature quit. Then numerous apps began not working correctly. I uninstalled the 2 apps that have been installed in the last couple months as well as a few others and the problem didn't change. Then, went to put the apps back on and the "install" button in play store is unresponsive. The rest of the screen works fine, just not that little button. Also, the screen that drops down to tell you the notifications on the top bar is super finicky all of a sudden. Checked all settings, tweaked settings, rebooted, Did a hard reboot, safe mode, and factory reset. No resolve. I am not a "heavy" user, only about 10 apps total installed on my phone in the 7 months I've had it. Frustration is  mounting and I really don't want to have to take it in. I've already lost all of the settings and everything I had to personalize my phone…Taking it in is last resort. Please Help!

        Let's get your LG G2 back to like new condition jess28540! I had similar issues with mine and I resolved by doing a hard reset (I understand that you have done this) and removing an application that was causing my phone to act erratic. What I recommend is doing a hard reset http://vz.to/1bEaoQu (factory reset), then install your third party application one at a time and test for a few hours before installing another application. This process will assist you identifying conflicting applications, then remove them for good and you should be OK. Keep us posted.

  • Serious problem, tried everything.

    My nano worked ok for about 3 months, all of a sudden, it went bezerk, when i played a song, it never played it, it just skipped to the next song, then the next, then the next...without playing any of them.
    At that point itunes had stoped reconizing it (no ipod icon)
    I updated it (i thought succesfully), but all the songs disapeared which i thought only happens when u restore. Apperantly though the disk space that my old songs and pictures took up is still being used even though the songs aren't there. Itunes still didn't recognize it.
    Uninstalled,Installed,updated itunes several times, nothing. Tried to restore, the ipod program now didn't recognise it, it either asked me to plug in the ipod even though it was already plugged in, or said the device wasn't compatible with the program. I did the 5 r things, and that was just a waste of time. I put it in disk mode to restore it, still didn't work. This is really annoying me and i would really like some useful suggestions. thanks
    compaq presario 1600 notebook   Windows XP  

    I've put the ipood on disk mode, and when i go to ipod updater it just says initializing... forever. i then go to task manager to quit the program and try again. Then it says, cannot open ipod updater because another program is using ipod. Back to task manager and i see that a program called ipodservice.exe is open (this apperantly opens when you open updater), so i close it, run updater again then i'm back to it initializing forever again. This is really annoying, i've already wasted so much time on this, its unbelievable. Is there anybody at apple we can email to solve this problem? Im in bulgaria (got hte ipod from chicago though)now so its kida hard to call anyone or return it!

  • Same problem, tried everything...

    I have this problem, as well; my N97 gets stuck in "car kit" mode where the car icon gets stuck on the display, even if I turn the car off and leave, and turn off the Bluetooth on the phone. Nothing short of a reboot fixes it. And it loses connection.
    I have tried to edit the Sync Mode, but it did nothing. I also unchecked every single option (contacts, etc.) in the sync profile, but that did not help either. I also tried sending an MP3, but it just says "unable to establish a Bluetooth connection."
    I am running v20 and an E90 BMW stock car Bluetooth kit. Any help extremely welcome...

    wait, what happened here? i was replying to /discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&message.id=28482&jump=true - how did this end up being a new topic? sorry...

  • IPhone to Android iMessage problem - tried everything

    Hello there,
    I just purchased a Galaxy S4 and am switching from my iPhone 4. I've read dozens of discussions and articles about disabling iMessage so iPhone users can text me, but nothing seems to work. Here is an overview of what I've done:
    Turned iMessage on my phone off.
    Deselected my phone number from OSX messages app.
    Went to supportprofile.apple.com. Never registered my iPhone so there was no device to remove. Went to phone numbers and removed my number.
    Went into iTunes, went to view account. Went to manage devices on iCloud and removed iPhone.
    Changed my password at supportprofile.apple.com. Didn't sign into messages on OSX or iMessage on iPhone.
    Completely wiped and restored iPhone to factory settings.
    And yet, when my brother sends me a text from his iPhone, it goes to iMessage. Not a single one of my deivces is signed in on iMessage and my iPhone is currently sitting unactivated without a SIM card.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Why can't I install iTunes version 10.5 or higher? I've tried everything suggested on this forum, my friend has a mac and she can't either and it seems like the main problem is the apple Mobile device.exe wont install and applesync

    Hey anybody,
    Neither myself (running on PC windows vista 32 bit) or my friend (on a mac) are able to install versions of iTunes around 10.5 or higher successfully. This leads me to believe the problem isn't necessarily with our computers and there may be something wrong elsewhere. I'm not a computer wiz but I have tried most of the advice on these forums e.g. Uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting temporary files, expanding files and trying individual downloads and more. I can install older versions of iTunes where they use to combine it with QuickTime with no problems however this is no good to me or my friend because only versions 10.5 and up come with support with iPhone 4S and that's what we need. I managed after several attempts to install iTunes 10.52 but without the apple mobile device so therefor the iTunes wouldn't connect to my phone or recognise it, apple sync notifier also has problems and fails to start.
    Please can someone help me with this, I have tried everything on the apple troubleshooting pages so please don't link me those. Or please can iTunes and apple do something in an update that corrects this problem because I know many people are having similar issues. I only bought this phone for the music and at the moment I feel cheated because I wouldn't have these problems with any other phone because I'd just be able to drag and drop.

    Hi there,
    I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
    Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
    Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
    One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
    Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things.

  • I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and now get a message saying 'Registry settings for iTune drivers are misng for Cd burning' I have uninstallled and reinstalled iTunes and tried everything to repair the problem but still have no optical

    I am using OS  64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium and recently updated the latest version of iTunes. (I only have this CD burning software on my Laptop). Ever since updating, I  received the message 'Registry settings for the iTune drivers are missing for CD burning'. The drivers for Lower and uppper filters in the registry are missingand I now have no optical drive.  I have unistalled and  reinstalled Itunes and manually entered the filters.

It's strange I can still import music but not burn?? Friend s have told me they have ha dthe same problem when updating iTunes but resolved the problem by uninstalling/reinstalling or altering registry keys.

    Please can someone help me before I throw the lot out the window!!!!

    Many thanks b Noir
    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did your phone carrier say when you contacted them about your issue?
    Double check you have MMS turn on in message settings.

  • I have tried everything to connect to the itune store from in itune, I have tried everything from apple support team, no help.  I am able to get everything up on my iphone just not from my PC, Anyone else having this problem

    last month I begin having problem connecting to the itune store.from my PC,  Have had apple support help but that did no good.  Itune will not connect. Tried everything from the troubleshooter page but it did not help.  It have been 4 month now.  Anyone else have any ideals?

    many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Have tried everything in forum and cant burn cds or import them. itunes says to reinstall but doesn't fix problem.

    Hi.  I have had a message each time I open Itunes. It has varied but includes the following:
    Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn cds you must reinstall itunes.
    Itunes helper not installed correctly - Error 7
    Itunes is not the primary __ for CDs/DVDs. Please reinstall itunes
    THE REGISTRY SETTINGS USED BY THE ITUNES DRIVERS FOR IMPORTING AND BURNING CD'S AND DVD'S ARE MISSING. THIS CAN HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF INSTALLING OTHER CD BURNING SOFTWARE. RE-INSTALL ITUNES -
    I went through tons of steps that I found online including all of the steps to Fix Gear Drivers.  I did the registery steps, I updated my CD & DVD drivers, I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime and all else in the long list.
    Nothing has helped.  What else can be done?  The message has changed as I have done all of the self-fix steps but it won't let me burn disks still and still get errors.
    Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
    FYI, the step that has me add back Upperfilters causes Itunes to no longer recognize the drives so I can't do this step.  I have tried everything listed.

    I cross posted also but this forum looks better.
    I've had the same problem. I notice that my Superdrive justs looks at the disc for a bit and then spits it out.
    When I boot from my clone of my 10.4.10 setup, I can mount and burn a CD-R in iTunes, although the names of the tracks and disc are screwed up (while the actual data is correct).
    But in 10.4.11 and Leopard (also testing that on an external drive) the blank disc won't mount at all.

  • Screen goes black.....I've tried everything!!!  what's the problem???

    went to verizon store (which turned out to be a "reseller store"...more on that later) for my "new every two" upgrade.....guy told me about the new samsung fascinate....he even told me i would actually be the first person to buy one from him.......probably after a week after purchasing the phone, i noticed that my screen would on occasion go black, and i could not get it to "wake up".  the phone is still on.....when i touch the bottom icons, they light up white.....phone definitely still on.....phone can ring, and i can even answer it by sliding the puzzle piece in place (screen stays black, i just know where the piece is). 
    i took it to the store where i purchased it....same guy who sold me the phone says it is almost definitely from some sort of app and i should try deleting all my apps.....i told him i had searched the internet looking for some answers, and there were a few known issues with samsung fascinate blank screens......he said to delete the apps and see what happens.  so like an idiot, i left hoping he would be correct.  well i deleted all my apps when i got home.....didn't make a difference....still had the same problem.
    a day or two later, i was near a regular verizon retailer.....went to tech specialist.....as i was with him, the phone had the "black screen of death".....he was puzzled by it.....he looked it up on the computer and he told me that it was a "known issue" that verizon was aware of.  i then asked him if i could swap the phone for another phone as it was still within 30 days of my purchase.....he said he could not do that since i bought from a "reseller".....the official verizon stores would not honor the return of phones purchased from resellers and that i would have to go back through the reseller (this was frustrating news)  he told me all about official verizon stores vs. the reseller stores.....he told me that the official verizon stores always have service technicians.  i had assumed that since the store where i purchased the phone said verizon all over the front and even had verizon flags flying out front that it was a verizon store.....turns out it wasn't quite the same.  the verizon tech also said that even if i had purchased the phone from the official retailer, they would NOT swap it with a new fascinate since it was a known issue.  i would have to get something else.
    after leaving the official verizon store, i went straight to the other store......told the salesman the whole story......he reset the phone for me.  as i'm on the way home after the fresh reset....guess what.....same problem.....black screen of death.
    so here i am again......{word filter avoidance}
    is wrong with my phone?  aside from the black screen, i really do like the phone, but at this point, i don't know what the problem is and my new phone is worthless.  i'm heading back to the reseller again (for the third time now) and i guess i'll try to get another phone......i really like the fantasy, but i have no faith in it. 
    i have reset the phone 3 times now myself, i actually just did it the third time just before this post.  i reset the phone, and screen went black within just a few minutes....can't get it back.  phone is on.....i can hear a call and texts......what could the problem be?????  i've tried everything noah suggested.....charger in and out....remove battery.....i've done all that....1,000 times.  when the phone does actually wake up, it seems to be completely random as to when it happens.....there's NOTHING i can do to wake it up, and there's NOTHING i can do to stop it from crashing out.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!  i've removed battery.....reset.....removed all apps.....put on and off of charger.....my next move is to smash this {word filter avoidance}
    into about 5,000 pieces.
    ps - i've had a verizon cell phone for 16 years....i've never had a problem like this with a brand new phone.  i hate to say it, but fascinate owners BEWARE.  i can say with 100% certainty that i did not damage this phone.....and i did download some apps, but not that many, and they were all very highly rated and recommended....this should not have happened.
    and also, i'm sure there are some great resellers out there, but from what the official verizon guy told me, you are definitely better off buying directly from verizon. 

    If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete  factory reset.  
    Factory Reset  - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.

    Turn off the phone 
    Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen 
    Display will show:

    Apply sdcard:update.zip 
    Wipe Data/Factory Reset
