My camera creates .avi files, imovie can't read them

I have a camera that creates .avi files and I wanted to use imovie if possible or another software to create movies if imovie won't work, can anyone suggest what I need to do?

Video Tracks: ?, 640 × 480, 30 fps, 1.84 Mbps
The video codec is not recognized. Very likely a proprietary format that is only works with Windows. You need someone who can read the files on a Windows system and convert them to an industry standard codec such as DV.
Who is the manufacturer and what is the model number of this camera?

As far as I know, iMovie will recognize only Firewire connected camcorders. If you are connecting with USB, it will never work.
If the memory card is removable, take it out and use a card reader to copy the video to your Mac.

Error creating avi file

I use Flash Cs4 and all of a sudden when I try to export to avi I get "error creating avi file." Any ideas why or how to fix this? I can still export to quicktime.
thanks

I ended up reinstalling my hard drive to fix this. If you uninstall/reinstall flash it doesn't help. I think it is something outside of flash with the video settings but that is how I fixed it.

Quick time player require codec to play avi files , where can i download it free

Try installing Perian. AVI is a container, not a format, and no single component can open all AVIs.

It has always been very basic to always maintain abackup copy of your computer. Do you not have a backup copy?

Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

Hello there,
as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
- In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
- created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
Is this possible to set up and how?
many thanks.
Nico.

Hi Nico,
You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".
Best Regards,
Mandy

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

My answer in the older thread is still valid
Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
Please open Terminal and issue the following command
ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
you should get a line similar to this
drwxrwxrwx 13 yourusername staff hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Numbers, date and time may differ.
If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

HT1399 my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think of that. I just tried several songs, and it DOES work as you say. Except iTunes downloaded the identical 128 kbps protected files again. These are 90's - "10,000 Maniacs" tracks.
So does this mean Apple doesn't have my "10,000 Maniacs" high bit rate unprotected files available? Then why would anyone even buy any songs through the "iTunes" store, when Amazon sells only 256 kbps MPEG music files, at a little cheaper price than Apple?
I'm missing something. The tracks I want to upgrade are available at Amazon in the higher bit rate format. Maybe iTunes is annoyed at me for using "Windows" on a PC and an "Android" phone?
Thanks again.

If you use Office 2011 with the most recent version, you should be able to use Versions > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11444

When I down load books, can I read them on my iPad and iPhone? I went to open a book on my phone but I got a message that aid something about the bill already associated with an appleid. I use the same id for both devices.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Take a look at the bottom left hand corner. There should be an option to change location/language. I'm in Norway, and switch between Norwegian and US versions of the site this way.
For anything involving sign-up and payment, however, you may be redirected, I don't know.

A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

First, some clarification:
* The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
* The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

When I add media from my dLink surveillance camera, the avi files always land in audio instead of the video area. Why, and how can I get them to land as visual?

I am trying to edit some of the surveillance videos taken from our dLink camera of the dogs playing when we are not home, but when I import the .avi files, it always just goes to the audio portion (of Premiere Elements 11) and nothing shows up as video. What am I doing wrong? Please know, I am completely new at this program, since I bought it for the purpose of playing with my dLink home camera videos and haven't been able to do a single thing with them as of yet due to how they are importing. I did "get media" from my Bloggie camera to see if that worked, and it did come across as a video and not just audio, so I am not sure why the other isn't working.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!
