MPEG1 Muxed file conversion

Hello!
Can anybody recomend what I should be converting MPEG1 Muxed files (from a Sony DSC-W30 camera) to to use with imovie? I have been making MPEG-4 on Streamclip and it seems to work well. Just wondering if there is something quicker/better/faster I should be using/doing? Thanks in advance for any help!!

OK, I bucked up and purchased MPEG-2 Component. Now I get this message when I try to drag the MP4 file into my iMovie 6:
While I consider the MPEG-2 Playback component a good investment for a number of reasons, they have nothing to do with the playback or import of MP4 content. The MP4 file container is associated with MPEG4/AAC and H.264/AAC files -- neither of which require the MPEG-2 component which is for use with MPEG-2 (MPEG, M2V, VOB, etc.) compressed files.
"The file could not be imported: The file can't be imported; QT couldn't parse it: -2048"... What does this mean?
Error code -2048 (NoMovieFound) is normally associated with a corrupted file or improperly terminated file. For instance, prematurely closing a file while it is being written (i.e., power outage, "brown out", forced closing of the application, etc.) may prevent the writing of a valid end to the file. In addition, some applications (like Windows) write "open-ended" files which QT applications consider invalid. (Files indiscriminately downloaded from the Internet frequently have this problem.) In any case, without a valid termination or known "end of the data" a movie file will not be recognized valid and usually return a -2048 error or some sort of "Not a Movie" message.

MPEG1 muxed files

I have music files that are MPEG1 muxed files, but I don't know how to separate the video and audio.
I have Windows XP, so FFmpeg and BBDemux wont work.
I've tried using some softwares such as DGIndex and Videora, but still wont work.
What should i do?

if your trying to convert videos then the video format only supprted by the ipod is .mov or .mp4 no other format is supported by the ipod. To convert the video successfuully the best results for windows users hasbenn using videora.
Remember:
this software is not supported by apple so with any support or questions you have go to their support forums for help not here. All the links are below and this is a good solution for windows users.

No sound on MPEG1 muxed files.

Help. For some reason my old clips that use MPEG1 Muxed (sound) now have NO sound. I have isolated it to this modem type as all other file formats, including windows formats play okay.
Also, MS Word no longer beeps or makes other prompting type sounds.
Also, MovieMagic Screenwriter no longer produces any sound when saving, detecting spelling errors, etc.
Also, Real media player no longer produces sound, mainly used for streaming radio staions, as most only support Realmedia or Windows streaming. Video os okay, just no sound. This also includes no sound when watching or listening to anything from Youtube.
I was running 10.4.8 from the software update and everything was fine. I downloaded Audacity this morning, opened it, did nothing with it and then closed it. Possibly the problems started at that point but I'm not sure. I have since downloaded and re-installed 10.4.8 using the combo 10.4.8 version according to the apple guidlelines, but there is no change.
Everything was working fine, and always has, now I suddenly have all of these problems with sound. Never had this before ever. Also downloaded the latest version of QT pro again, but no difference detected.
iTtunes works okay and so do all of the OSX alert sounds as well as my clock.
Please, can anyone help? The problem is on my iMac G5, 20 in, 2GHz.

MPEG1 Muxed - MISSING AUDIO FILES

I have a few QT clips that are MPEG1 Muxed. When I import into FCP all I get is the video file and not the audio file. Is there a way obtaining the audio files from a Muxed clip?

Rather than demuxing with MPEG Streamclip , this demuxing advice which is tirelessly offered to many who then have no idea what to do with separate video and audio stream files, use MPEG Streamclip to export the MPEG-1 to DV and let it do the work for you in one pass. It can export to all QT formats and DV and you get the video and audio in a ready to use file. Better no?
Keep in mind MPEG-1 which is typically 352X240 at <30 fps will suffer a lot quality-wise when upsampled to 720X480 at 30 fps. There is not much data there to work with.

Does imovie 09 support mpeg1 muxed?

Anyone know if imovie 09 naturally supports mpeg1 muxed or do we still have to go through the streamclip conversion BS?

If your camera creates MPEG-1 files you'll need to convert them prior to use in any version of iMovie.
MPEG-1 Layer 3 (the audio portion known as .mp3) does not require conversion.

MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240 At 25 FPS

Hello there,
I have a video which is MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240 At 25 FPS..
Which software program allows you to adjust the Frames Per Second, and will that help with the jerky video, in anyone's opinion?
Your time is much appreciated..
Take Care,
Eric

I'd like to know which application is best, or easiest, to adjust the Frames Per Second from 25 to 30, or 29.xx..
JES deinterlacer is part of the process.....look at the iMovie FAQ site here for more info:
http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6017.shtml
Method B, better quality
Almost no jerky movement. The drawback is that you need time and hard drive space for one full copy of your DV files.
JES Deinterlacer can convert NTSC<->PAL with much better quality than converting with iDVD, iMovie or QuickTime Player Pro.
When iMovie HD or iDVD converts NTSC<->PAL it deinterlaces the video and just duplicates some frames to make up for the difference in frame rate, so the movement gets jerky. QuickTime Player Pro can preserve interlacing but in some versions this might introduce ugly interlacing streak artifacts to the converted video. JES Deinterlacer preserves interlacing and it also intelligently blends more than two video fields from the input file to a frame of the output file, if needed, so the movement is smooth.
FYI the iMovie link to JES is busted, but the link I provided before is working.

Mpeg2 issue ---- muxed files

I'm having an issue with my Quicktime Pro with the MPEG2 plugin.
When I open this file format: MPEG2 Muxed, 480 x 360, 29.97 FPS, it plays the first few seconds then freezes the frame. The audio still goes on but I have no picture.
Now on the website for the MPEG2 plugin, it says that QT will play MPEG2 files muxed and all, but it's not for some reason ^_^ And also I want to pull those files into iMovie HD (iLife 05) and it doesn't want to pull in the files either.
I have found that Toast will actually make me a DVD no questions asked, but I'm looking to edit the videos. They play in VLC fine and will transfer over to MGEG4 alright, from VLC, but the more I step on the footage and compress and recompress, the crappier my video looks on the TV.
Can anyone help me find out how to get my stuff to play or be able to edit with-out all this recompression? Right now I have to convert to .mp4, insert into iMovie, fix, export to iDVD and compress back into an MPEG2 DVD friendly. Or....go from .mpg to BitVice and try to edit in iMovie with .m2v when it just mysteriously doesn't want to work this time with .mp4.
I'm getting a little frustrated! Can you please help? Thank you!!

I have found that Toast will actually make me a DVD no questions asked, but I'm looking to edit the videos.
What kind of editing do you wish to do? If all you need is limited editing capabilities (e.g., trimming segments, cropping and/or scaling, adjusting the volume, brightness, contrast, and/or saturation), then a free application like MPEG Streamclip (woring in conjunction with the MPEG-2 component which you already have) may be all you need. Note however, that if you wish to work entirely withing the MPEG "muxed" file format, you will be limited to just trimming your segments and saving them. Other editing capabilities mentioned are usually performed as part of a conversion process. If you wish to perform more complex edits, apply special effects and or mix the media with phtographs, music, add transitions and/or fades, etc,. then you can use this application to convert both audio and video to either a continuous DV stream (compatible with the current version of iMovie) or segmented DV streams (compatible with older versions of iMovie).

File conversion for imovie? help!

hello i just got my new mac 3 days ago and i'm already frustrated and losing my mind!
i plugged in my digital camera hoping to edit some video clips i've been shooting. the pictures load fine in iphoto, and i even watched the video clips with quicktime, but imovie does not recognize the files! thus, i can't load them on there nor edit them. this stinks! unless i convert the files then imovie 08 is useless to me. the file shows up as .mov but stil don't work. i've spent the last 3 hours searching for free file convertors, and all of them are a bust. can anyone help me? any recommendations on a good program to change my .mov to mp4 ?
i'm beyond frustrated right now... really, i never thought apple would be this stubborn! i see i have the option of converting picture files (from .bmp to .jpeg) but there is no such option for video files.
please help!

You don't want to convert more than once.
QT Kirk is correct here. Your goal should be to not convert the video at all if you don't have to and only once if you must to get it into the editor. iMovie '06 will automatically convert the original clips in iPhoto as part of the "import" process as long as the files are "conversion" compatible with QT and any components you may have installed. iMovie '08, on the other hand, does not perform any conversions as part of a "Finder" level file import. Therefore, if you wish to import to iMovie '08, you will have to do some manual conversion. However, what actually has to be converted may simply depend on the content of the source file.
1) An MPEG (MPEG-1) or MPEG (MPEG-2) "muxed" file would have to convert both audio and video content to make it compatible with iMovie '08.
2) A Casio AVI, Kodak MOV, or other digital files containing M-JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264 video with DVI ADPCM or µ-Law audio compression would only have to have its audio content converted. In the case of MPEG-4 and H.264 files, this can be done by using GarageBand to access the "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and "Pass through" the video while only converting the audio content. In the case of M-JPEG files, the audio track can be extracted, converted, and used to replace the original sound track if you have QT Pro available.
3) QT MPEG-4 slideshow exports can be made iMovie '08 compatible by simply placing the audio/video content in an MP4 container with MPEG Streamclip (free) which strips it of incompatible "Tween" track or manually delete the track with QT Pro.

Import MPEG1 Muxed Problem - No audio

I am attempting to import some video clips that have been save to disk in the "MPEG1 - Muxed" format (according to Get Info).
The clips play perfectly in Quicktime - video and audio.
When I import them into iMovie, however - NO SOUND. Video is fine.
Are there any tricks I need to know for importing these clips? Not that it matters, but they are long (about an hour each - 6 of them) and about 1.2 gig each.
Thanks in advance.

OK - I have downloaded Streamclip. There are many choices for conversion. I am not going to do anything fancy in iMovie - I just need to edit the clips. For example, I do NOT need to alter the audio in any way - I just want the audio to stay synched with the video as I cut various snippets.
So of the many choices in Streamclip - which would be best?

Getting MPEG1 Muxed Into iDVD

I have almost 70 movie clips from way back that are MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240, 1399 kbits/sec. and about 70 MB in size. Since iDVD doesn't like these files, I've been tryig to convert them with Cleaner, but with limited success.
Exporting to DV stream works, but make huge files. I can pull this off, about 80 GB, but want to see about other options. I just want these on DVD instead of my HD. Thanks for any help

Alex,
Remember the old computer saying - GIGO - Garbage In - Garbage Out.
Your MPG-1 content is very low in image quality - even compared to the fairly low quality of MPG-2.
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time trying to convert what you have to very marginal DVDs. I would either: (1) use Roxio's Toast Titanium to create Video CDs from your MPG-1 files (they are MPG-1 based and thus the same quality) or (2) just burn all the MPG-1 files to writable CDs or DVDs from the Finder to create a backup so they can be deleted from your hard drive.

Many MPEG1 muxed videos play half way then stop

Lots of .mpg and .avi files stop half way through; .wmv, using Flip4Mac, work okay. The position pointer continues on to the end of the file and audio continues, but video stops. These are usually MPEG1 muxed; my QuickTimeMPEG.component file is 7.4.5 from June 2006. Is that he culprit, and if so, is there a newer one somewhere?

Obviously the MPEGs have broken timecodes which the QT is allergic to.
You can fix them with MPEG Streamclip and convert the fixed file as a new MPEG.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 <b>value2</b> value3
I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

Sender File adapter File Conversion with key fields

Please help me guys, I already spent way too much time on this!
I checked a couple of BLOGs and I think I'm doing the right thing except I'm not getting the result I would expect.
I'm trying to create an IDoc using the from a flat file.
I get the following error:
During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
The Source file is this:
H
L0015
The file adapter does create the XML below (looks fine):
<ns:MT_SINGLE xmlns:ns="http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE">
<HEADER>
     <ID>H</ID>
</HEADER>
<LINE>
     <ID>L</ID>
     <SITE>0015</SITE>
</LINE>
</ns:MT_SINGLE>
When I test the map in IR, with the XML that this file adapter created (above) it works fine!
Also if I take away the HEADER from the source structure everything works fine and I can create the IDoc, therefore I think something must be wrong in the file conversion, the mapping is so simple there is nothing to fail there.
The file conversion parameters that I have:
Document Name: MT_SINGLE
Document Namespace: http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE
Document Offset:
Recordset Name:
Recordset Namespace:
Recordset Structure: HEADER,1,LINE,*
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Recordset per Message:
Key Field name: ID
Key Field Type: String (Case-Sensitive)
LINE.fieldNames: ID,SITE
LINE.fieldFixedLengths: 1,4
LINE.keyFieldValue: L
HEADER.fieldNames: ID
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths: 1
HEADER.keyFieldValue: H
What am I doing wrong???
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Viktor Varga

Hi Viktor,
Basic rules:
1. Down load XML payload(output From Adapter) and test it in IR mapping program. If it is working there is no reason why it will fail in Runtime. Also Check Cache is up to date.
Generally the problem lies with namespace.
Hope this helps

File conversion and append file in receiver file adapter

Hi
I have a batch IDoc -> XI(3.0) -> file scenario with file conversion to create a flat CSV-like file. The problem is that because of the amount of data sent from R/3 (~20000 employees), the idoc is split into several idocs. In my receiver file adapter I want to append all the idocs contained in this data transfer to one flat file, before transmitting to FTP server.
For the next batch transfer (the next day) XI should start all over and create a new file and append all idocs contained in that transfer before transmitting the flat file to FTP server.
Can this be done using the 'Use Temporary File' and 'Append' options in the FTP connection Parameters in the comm-channel?
It is not an option to append the file in the FTP-server, because the files in the destination folder are moved immediately after arrival, so the file will be moved before file adapter can append all the files.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how to solve this?
Br
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth
Did you ever get a solution to this problem?
