My iDVD can't "see" certain MOV files

Hi,
Using Final Cut Pro X, I export a film in standard Quicktime MOV format, shot on a Canon EOS 550D in 1080i HD.
FCPX is happy, my Mac is happy, Quicktime is happy, and for the most part, iDVD is happy - it picks up the files and runs with them.
But sometimes I produce an MOV file, and it's as though iDVD can't see it - it isn't there. I can play it in Quicktime, I can move it around, but iDVD just doesn't acknowledge its existence.
I've recently produced 4 films and iDVD could see 2 but not the other two. It only sees them if I import them into iMovie, and then re-export them, but that sometimes corrupts elements of the film.
The two films it could see (less than 2 Gb) were smaller than the other 2 (over 3 Gb), but i have also created a DVD where the main film was over 13 Gb, and iDVD could see it without blinking. So I don't think it could be a size limit issue.
I am running iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) on an iMac which is running OS 10.6.8, with 4GB RAM.
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks

  • IDVD can't find my .mov file

    I recently exported a project from FCE and saved it as a .mov file on my external drive. I was able to burn several DVD's. Then, after a four day weekend away, I come back and attempt to burn more DVD's, but I am getting an error msg that says iDVD can't find my file and it seems to have renamed it, changing the extension to -av.mov1

    Hi
    Where is the original QT.mov file ?
    iDVD doesn't store it in it's project - so original has not to be deleted or moved
    for iDVD to find it.
    My guess is that You need to re-do as a new iDVD project.

  • Can't see certain music files in the music library

    I have recently imported some CD's and can see the files in the correct location in the C drive, however I cannot see them in the itunes music library. The file names are identical to others that I can see.

    No, that was just to confirm that they don't have an incompatibility, and they passed the test.
    gordonroof wrote:
    is there a short cut?
    If you know where they are, just drag the whole folder into the main iTunes window (or use File > Add Folder to Library) and they should all add.
    To the original problem, were these tracks imported by iTunes from audio CD?

  • How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

    How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
    It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

    I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
    Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

  • Where can i find hidden movie files on a macbook

    I've deleted all the movies from my mac and when I open my system profile it shows I have 42GB of movies somewhere hidden on my macbook.  I've tried searching .mov in my spotlight (which yields nothing) and manually searching through the iTunes folder and movies folder (which are empty).  Any other ideas as to where I can find these hidden movie files -- 42gb is pretty hefty.

    If you are using Time Machine, it keeps a "local snapshot" - backups kept on your hard drive, not the backup drive, to protect you from certain kinds of data loss while you are away from your backup drive.  These snapshots are kept for a week, and one consequence of this is that you don't immediately recover space when you delete files, since they will be added to the local backup.

  • Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov file

    Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov files from a Canon G11. I get a thumbnil which is a triangle with !. If I right click I can open it with Quick time. I cannot import any of the files into iMovie as it does not recognize them in Aperture or iPhoto.  From other dicussions I tried removing 3ivvxVideoCodec.componenet from Quiktime Library and retarted with no success, so iI restored the file. 

    You are welcome;
    there is another problem with videos, that might apply in your your case, when you reimport the videos, after you deinstalled the codec - the location you are importing from, and the permission settings, see this post:
    Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.

  • Can't not import mov files into AE.

    This problem has appeared for some of the time. It causes several things I can't do in my After Effect, but I really have no idea how I can fix it.
    Problem 1: wait a long time to open the AE, it hangs on the initializing media core and takes about 10-15 mins to get through.
    Problem 2: can't import the mov files, and if I import the mov to the AE project, this pop up comes
                   "After Effects error: file 'file name.mov' cannot be imported - this 'MooV file is damaged or unsupported.'"
    Problem 3: can't output the comp as mov. and this pop up warming comes
                   "After Effects: One of the output modules could not be imported. It has been reset to use the default setting for the selected file format."
    I read some threads and I knew this might cause by the blocked communication between AE and QT. But I have double check my QT, it is version 7.6.6 and I have no firewall software installed, hence the communication is okay (i guess, since I can play the mov file normally and not the warm message that “QuickTime is not installed on this system…”) .
    Some other thread says may because of the three party component in the QT Library. This may make sense, cause I install some converters for converting the wmv and avi before…
    Here are the components in the QT Library:
    AviImporter.component
    FFusion.component
    iChatTheaterPreview.component
    IMXCodec.component
    XviD_Codec.component
    ↑↑The above 5 component I have move them out, but no luck still ↑↑
    AppleAVCIntraCodec.component
    AppleHDVCodec.component
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    AppleProResCodec.component
    DesktopVideoOut.component
    DVCPROHDCodec.component
    DVCPROHDMuxer.component
    DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component
    FCP Uncompressed 422.component
    LiveType.component
    Could anyone give me some advise regarding to those problems, and is there any of the above component I should move away.  DEL .\/.
    Thanks so much in advance for any of your help and advise, really appreciate that! thanks!

    Here are some background info about my mac:
    Mac OSX 10.6.8
    2x3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    8GB memory
    AE CS5
    QuickTime Player 7 version 7.6.6

    I was having the same problem and so far this solution has worked for me. (knock on wood)
    Try setting your default player for .mov files to QuickTime.  (Mine was set to Windows Media Player)
    Right click on one of the mov files you are having a problem opening in AE.
    Select the "Open with" and select "Choose default program..." at the bottom.
    Select Quick Time. (Make sure the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box is checked.)
    Reboot your computer.
    Open AE and see if it works.

    Either of these should help.

    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

  • How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?

    How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?
    During the workflow phase, the file is locked for workflow. But when the file has been approved (or denied) it will have the same status as it did before the workflow process (unless you trigger the workflow by changing its location).
    You can see the workflow history in the "My Request" view, but this way of determining whether a file has been approved seems complicated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the transaction code, but my question is not answered yet.
    For example, I use STMS_IMPORT in the Development environement to see the list of the transport that has been made in that environement.
    I now have a list of these transports, with a status. But I wanna know if that transport that has been created in the Development environement has been moved to the Sandbox environement.
    STMS_IMPORT shows me only the list of transports that has been created in that environement. It doesn't tell me if a transport in DVL has been moved in the QAS, SANDBOX or PRODUCTION environment.
    Thanks again,
    Julien

  • Project Manager can´t see my .lso files

    Hello logicusers, I am new at the forum and this is my first trouble: Project Manager can´t see my .lso files. I would like to start using PM but it seems to be difficult without seeing .lso files in the navigator window.
    I´ve read the books, I´ve checked here for this tip and got a lot of useful information, but no solution found. I hope somebody could help me please:
    - Macbook white with LP 7.2.3
    - Reinstalled and cleaned all
    - Installed OSX upgrade 0.4.9 manually
    - Installed pro application support 3.1
    - PM Data and logic preferences deleted
    - permissions applied to "all enclosed folders"
    - Performed a complete scan in PM
    If I create a new song from logic, PM can´t see this .lso file.
    If I scan a external hard drive (lacie f.a.porsche) through PM, it only recognizes one .lso file from a lot of old songs, and I don´t imagine why.
    Yesterday I tried this: opened PM, copied a Template song from the Templates folder to the Desktop; renamed it as "Sidload" (my particular "Autoload" term); until here, everything correct, PM seems to be able to manage "Sidload". But when I open Sidload and save the first change, and .bak folder comes, I can´t make more "visible copies for PM" of this file. Finder can see the new copies, but PM not (files that has created "itself"); so I can´t manage a song that has been copied, renamed and saved for first time -through PM, from a Template; invisible, dissapears. No saving PM data, no checking folder, no advanced search helps.
    I wish to have a way to talk to logic support via mail, but I don´t know how. So I came here to beg you friends for your help. Thank you very much for being here.

    yep, I have scanned at every level, from everything to just a single folder that contains song files. After scanning a folder that conatins songs on my SATA B drive (the one that PM can't find songs), still the songs will not appear.
    I have copied over my songs to the drive that PM seems to see songs on and guess what? It doesn't see those songs copied over.
    This is driving me so nuts I have forgotten that I engaged in this thread...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1046126&tstart=0
    Does anyone know what the option in the PM's file menu "import file maps" and delete all exported file maps" does? Or what its for?
    It feels to me that some sort of database or referrence list etc etc has gone very wrong, but I have already tried deleting (manually) the PM data file in somewhere in the library folder etc etc.
    Using file buddy I see that PM stores the a PM database as an invisable file on each drive you have connected. Presumably info for what is on that drive. Perhaps these invisable files need to be manually deleted???

  • Can't see purchased movies from itunes on iPad

    I can't see the movies I purchased on my iPad. I sync them from itunes. They are on the ipad based on the hard drive space used. But when I tap the ipod icon, I can't see movies or video on the bottom of screen or on the left hand side that would point to the movies.
    Any help?

    +If you did download them to your iPad, restart your iPad or try a hard reset.+
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, find your app, and tap the icon to relaunch.
    Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch the Videos again and see If the movies are showing.
    +If they were downloaded to your computer in iTunes, then do as Philly suggests, sync your iPad to your computer.+
    Connect your iPad to the computer, launch iTunes, select your device on the left side in iTunes, click on movies at the top of iTunes, click sync movies, click on the movies that you want to put on the iPad, click apply in the lower right corner in iTunes, then click sync. That will put the movies on your iPad. Open the Videos app and you are good to go.

    Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
    You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    If you are still having problems try a restore.
