Mpeg -2 not imported

I am new to DVD SP and I read that you have to encode your video into Mpeg-2 to import them into DVD SP. I use wondershare Ripper and encode the DVD into mpeg-2, AC-3, 720x480, 48kHz, NTSC, and set my DVD SP on NTSC as well. But when trying to import is says 'incompatibel format'......I read that H.264 will not work as well. Any suggestions how to encode my DVD?
I would like to have single clips from my DVD not just the whole DVD.....

Both. I bought several music DVD's and I need the clips ripped seperatly to use on a new DVD. It is for a VJ. He needs to be able to skip from clip to clip without going back to a menu.
I found out how that works in DVD SP. But now I need to be able to import the clips first into DVD SP. What is working is ripping the clips first to mpeg-2...(the one that is not importing into DVD SP) and then encode it again into avi with the program MPEG-streamclip. The software I use for ripping is Wondershare DVD Ripper and it can not encode directly inot a proper Avi-file. I tried that but the audio is not AC3 and therefore not working. The Avi-file (double encode) is imported into DVD SP but the quality is terrible.

  • Mpeg 4 not importing

    hi all,
    my problem is as follows. when i use itunes it wont import mpeg 4 files. i got a good program (movie edit pro11 plus) to convert / export my files to mpeg 4 format so i could add them to my ipod. but itunes wont import them.
    i know the files are good as they play on windows media player fine.
    also itunes will import quicktime movies ok but when i use itunes as you are ment to, to convert them to ipod ready files it does not convert them properly or just crashes out itunes.
    has anyone else had this problem and got a fix for it?
    i am currently running vista 64bit ultimate os and itunes is the only program i am having issues with

    First advice: let it run. it may take a while.
    Second advice: Check for extra tracks like tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, chapter tracks. iMovie will not import files that have these. It is best to remove these using QuickTime Pro before editing.

  • IMOVIE08 MPEG PROBLEMS, Not Importing movies from ilife

    Hi
    A friend shoots a movie for me We agree on an MPEG file. MPEG file loaded, IMOVIE08 started. Dragging media does not work. Also Importing movie via menu does not work. (MPEG file greyed in file dialog) But, Quicktime loads and shows it. With Quicktime I could maybe onvert it. IMOVIE07 loads it and shows it and you can work with it in IMOVIE07! So why not in IMOVIE08 which I bought for hard cash!
    Using IPHOTO08 I made a movie out of still pictures with some music. Standard functionality in IPHOTO08 Wanted to edit the Audio. Cannot load the movie generated by IPHOTO08 into IMOVIE08. Hmmm.
    However an movie generated from a KEYNOTE08 presentation does import into IMOVIE08.
    Why is there no compatibility even between parts of the same package on this ?
    Why with IMOVIE07 I could import almost anything and then IMOVIE08 is very sensitive to imports and imports almost nothing??
    I find this really a serious flaw in IMOVIE08. And when I cannot use my old material what good is it?
    Joost (mail me at joostb AT notthefly.com)

    Welcome to the Discussion Forum
    im6 would only edit limited formats but would import and convert various types of format to the type it could edit in.
    By contrast im08 can edit more formats but no longer imports the formats that it can't edit, leaving you to convert the files to an appropriate format yourself before importing.
    You can use many 3rd party applications to convert mpeg1/2 files, myself I use mpeg streamclip.

  • How do I fix sound not importing properly from a Fuji video capture (MPEG, 48000 compressed) on Premier Elements 11 (just imports chopped noise)?

    Can anyone help?  When I add .Mov MPEG video file captured with a Fuji camera (1920x1080 image, 29.97 frame rate, 48000Hz stereo compressed sound), although the video is smooth/good, the sound gets added but its just a clipped noise rather than the actual sound track.  The video & sound play fine on all other software on my PC, even if just play the file using Adobe Organizer, BUT Premier will not import it correctly....help...

    Please give us more information.
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on? When you view and listen to the playback of the Timeline video in the Edit area monitor, are you working with the rendered or unrendered Timeline?
    What is the model/settings of the Fuji camera that recording the video? The settings seem to be for 1080 but is that 1080i or 1080p?
    Are you saying that your video has a .mov file extension? What is the significance of MPEG video - I am thinking in terms of video compression? AVCHD, H.264, MotionJPEG, or other for video compression?
    What are you or the project setting as the project preset to match the properties of the source video?
    (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if they look grayed out.)
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? If you go into Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you see all the QuickTime presets? Please explore Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings Input as well as Output.

  • Problem: Importing from DVD to imovie. The DVD mpeg 4 file will not import

    I recently purchased ImTOO DVD Ripper Ultimate. I've successfully managed to rip some files to my desktop. But I'm now having an issue importing 1 particular mpeg 4 file to imovie for editing. I open imovie and locate the mpeg 4 file. Imovie window pops up: Optimizing Video - Processing Event. Nothing happens. Any advice?

  • Only CERTAIN videos will not import in BOTH versions of iMovie

    Heya, I'm dying here, hoping someone can help:
    I've been filming video with my camera, but for some reason, one out of every 6 or 7 times a file will absolutely not import into iMovie.
    They play absolutely fine with audio and everything in Quicktime, but when I try to import to iMovie '08, they simply do not show up as thumbnails even though it goes through the whole "creating thumbnails" process.
    When I try importing them into iMovie HD 6, I get a "file cannot be imported: unknown error" message.
    Everything else I film with my camera and import into either version of iMovie works just fine! It's only certain ones... but it always happens to be the most important clips!
    There's GOT to be some way to fix this, right?

    Everything was filmed with the exact same settings.
    Your argument here is "inductive" and does not confirm that all stored files are in fact in the same compression format and settings. You need to apply a "deductive" approach. As I implied and QT Kirk specifically stated, you need to actually examine the files to determine their internal specifications -- comparing the working with non-working files to look for differences.
    I've tried Streamclip, but when I try to save it as an avi, mpeg, dv, or even a renamed mov file, it says "Error: Could not prepare clip"
    If your are trying to use the "Save As..." option here, you are not, in fact, performing a "conversion" but rather merely attempting to place the same content in a different file container. MPEG Streamclip does not, for instance, have the ability to export non-MPEG2 content to MPEG (MPEG-2 'muxed" or elementary streams) which would be incompatible with iMovie '08 in any event. As to AVI, you mush have one of the required AVI QT components installed and the compression formats you are trying to place in the AVI container must be compatible with the AVI container which is itself compatible with iMovie '08 as long as its contents are already edit compatible. As to DV, this one one usually difficult to mess up unless you were trying to turn it into a transport stream.
    today I tried taking the original quicktime MOV file from the camera (the one that plays just fine in quicktime AND streamclip, just won't convert or import)
    This statement seems to imply that something is wrong with your attempted work flow. If the file opens and plays in the QT Player and MPEG Streamclip, then it should be convertible. Once again, the primary problem is determining how to best perform this conversion which is why Karsten, QT Kirk, and I need specific information regarding the actual compression format, whether or not the compression settings were compatible with the QT structure, and whether or not an extraneous track (e.g., a "Tweener") might be causing difficulties. Posting a screen capture of the "Inspector" and/or "Properties" window or a sample file should provide the needed information.

  • URGENT iMovie not importing video

    Hi there,
    I have a really urgent iMovie project I need to have completed by Monday, however I am having extreme difficulty importing my last video file for some reason. I am uploading footage from a SONY HD HANDYCAM (it says HDR-SR11) and I am using iMovie '09. Very confused as have always been able to upload footage from the camcorder - in fact did it yesterday with no troubles - but when I go to import this one clip (12mins), it goes through the process of 'importing', however no actual footage/ thumbnails is uploaded on the iMovie screen. I have selected to view 'All Clips' so that is not a problem. I have also deleted all events/projects and tried again but that one video still will not import.
    When I go into Finder I can see the clips there except they cannot be opened although they are from the exact same camera as the rest. I have also tried on another Mac computer but with the same result. I cannot import to iPhoto, nor does it let me export using the free version of MPEG-2 converter.
    I am using the camera to computer USB cable by the way.
    I really, really appreciate any help or advice in advance, and apologise if this is a trivial problem but can't seem to find any answers in the hours I have spent on it, nor online.
    Cheers,
    Norrista

    Hi Bengt W,
    Thank you so much for your imput. I have tried the option you said about creating a new account, however that did not change anything.
    In regards to your question about space - I assume I can just click Inspector on my iMac image - it says there are 7.94 GB free. And when I was 'importing' this video file into iMovie it said there was 2 hours 57 mins available which I thought would be fine as the clip is only 12 mins.
    I really appreciate any further advice you can give me because I'm coming to the deadline now and it isn't something I can just go out and shoot again unfortunately.
    And as a side note, I have tried selecting the Camera Archive option, but iMovie does not then allow me to import the files afterwards.
    Many thanks again,
    Norrista

  • FIles not importing fully on PrPro Trial

    We are giving PrPRO a try, and so far we like what we are seeing.  However we have run into a challenge.  We have a series of HD (720p, 1080i) files in AVI that we are trying to import.  Some are MPEG2 and others are DV.  We can import and process smaller files just fine, but larger ones are getting truncated on import.  If we try to import a clip over 3 or 4 minutes, we only see 3 or 4 minutes in the source monitor.  The slider and video stops on the source.  There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why only a portion of the clip is being loaded.  I am not sure if it is a limitation imposed by file size (the larger files are between 50 and 90GB), or a time limit imposed by the trial version.  We are nowhere near capacity on system memory (RAM), perhaps it is a caching issue?
    Does anybody have any idea? Is there some setting that is preventing the entire clip from importing, some cache setting or other that needs adjusting.  Thanks!

    I had read those limitations, however I am not sure how they apply?
    You originally posted:
    Some are MPEG2
    The trial version does not import MPEG files, hence my response.
    Cheers

  • IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

    I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
    iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.

  • ITunes will not import mp4-files.

    For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
    The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
    The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
    I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
    Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
    I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
    To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
    Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

    iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
    Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
    Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

  • GO PRO Footage not importing or playing

    So I've just copied some Go Pro footage from my friends USB and FCPX will not import it. They are all .mov files
    Quicktime won't play them either. It tries to convert them and then says this:
    "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
    Any help is greatly appreciated! I gotta use some of these clips for my documentary film class.

    TThat's the Cineform codec. I think it was converted on the PC, probably to use in Premiere. You might see if MPEG Streamclip can open it.
    THis might help you.

  • Can not import video clips into iMovie from Photos

    I have some clips that I copied from my GoPro to my iPad via the Apple Camera Connection Kit.  When I open iMovie there are icons for the clips but iMovie will not import them.  The format is H.264.  Is there a way of tricking iMovie?

    Here is the problem, Im making a movie, I took all the video on my Kodak V610 Camera. I have the clips in .mov format. The clips are stored on an external disk in my iPhoto library.
    Your digital camera probably uses MPEG-4 video (compatible with iMovie '08 in combination with µ-Law 2:1 compressed audio (which is not iMovie '08 compatible). While using the MPEG Streamclip MPEG-4 conversion will work, the prefered methof would be to use the QT "Movie to MPEG-4" option in QT Pro (quicker if you have it) or GarageBand (via the "Expert Settings option) to "pass through" you video while converting the audio to AAC (MPEG-4 audio). A mono setting of 64 Kbps with a 44.1 KHz sampling rate is a bit of "overkill" with respect to the original audio but will be quality compatible with what iMovie uses for its output presets.

  • Footage will not import to iMovie

    Hi,
    I have iMovie and I just purchased some stock footage online.
    The footage will not import into iMovie. It is in Quicktime format, and I tried to save it in ".mov" format, but it will not import that way either.
    I called the stock footage company and they said their footage works with iMovie, and to ask Mac for help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    iMovie will not import any QuickTime file. It will only import files it can edit. MPEG1 is not a codec that iMovie can edit, so it will not import.
    Fortunately, there is a free App called MPEG Streamclip which will easily convert your clip to a format that iMovie can use.
    First download and install MPEG Streamclip. It is available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Now, drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Hit the play button to make sure it plays.
    In MPEG Streamclip use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME...
    For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Then click MAKE MOVIE
    You may want to deinterlace the footage of the resulting file does not look good. This can also be done in MPEG Streamclip. Let me know if you need help with that.
    In iMovie, you can import the resulting file by using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
    The MPEG Streamclip process should create a new file. Your original MPEG1 file should still be intact. Just be sure that you do not give them both the same name.
