Converting AVI to MPEG on Windows XP OS

YOu need to learn how to use FCP.  Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record.  This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit.  Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly. 
You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP.  No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...).  It needs to be converted to ProRes.  And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals.  4-5 times larger.  That's how FCP works.
Here's a quick tutorial to get you started.  But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.

  • Need help with .avi files

    Hi everyone. I just got an iMac for Christmas. I've been a PC user all my life, so I'm new to some of this stuff. My question is about .avi movie clips.
    I have a Casio Exilim digital camera. As soon as I set up my iMac I uploaded all data from my digital camera. I have several short movie clips in iPhoto. I can hear the audio, but I don't see video. How can I watch the videos on my new computer and use iMovie.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    AVI is a container type, a container can contain any number of audio and video compression types, some of which may be editable and some not, some of which may be compatible with imovie and some not.
    QT Pro (and a number of other 3rd party applications) may help you convert these files to an appropriate format. It would help if we knew what compression types are used, you can determine this by opening the movie in QT and choosing inspector from the window menu.
    AVI is a very old MS proprietary format, it was even abandoned by MS over 10 years ago, unfortunately there is a small possibility AVI files can contain long forgotten compression types which there are no converters for, although since your files are from a modern camera this is quite unlikely.
    Report back with the compression types and someone will help further.

  • No sound when converting .avi to .mov

    hi guys
    maybe someone would help me.
    Im trying to add some movies to my itunes library, and i have my files into .avi format(works properly in other media player) and when i convert it using quicktime onto .mov, the sound is missing.
    everything else remains the same, only the sound.
    any clues and suggestions of why this is happening?
    thx

    As has been explained many time before in this forum, AVI is a file container—not a compression format. What you can do with the AVI file depends on what kind of data is stored in the AVI container. For instance, QT X v10.3, QT X v10.4 and QL under Mavericks and Yosemite only play AVI files containing Motion JPEG video along with any supported form of compressed audio like linear PCM. Any other combination of compressed audio and video combination in this file container would would either be unsupported by the AVFoundation in the latest operating systems or force a conversion—i.e., the AVFoundation would pass the file on to the Modernizer routines to see if the content can be converted to a file containing compressed data that is QT compatible.
    Depending on the type of compressed data contained in the AVI and the codec support installed on your system, the Modernizer will either terminate its conversion attempt and report that it can't convert the file or it will pass the file on to the Convert routine for conversion. For instance, a common DivX/MP3 AVI file would probably not be converted on a recent operating system with only native codec support. However, if the system has the Perian (or similar) codec package installed, then the Modernizer would recognize that Perian (or other) codec support was available and pass the file on to the Convert routine for a successful conversion. Unfortunately, there are some exceptions. For instance, files containing DTS audio are usually trapped by the Modernizer if Perian is not present but are passed on to the Convert module if it is present since Perian contains DTS codec support. Unfortunately, this support is not compatible with the Convert routine under the two latest versions of Mac OS X and ends up creating an "empty" audio track.
    If this is the cause of the problem in your case, then the solution is simple, use a third-party converter as was already mentioned. I would recommend any that use the FFmpeg package for codec support. Many such utilities are available. My personal preference would be the free HandBrake app which includes many presets for the novice user, as well as, advanced features for the prosumer or professional user making customized conversions of specific content and/or for a specific targeted use and can retain chapters, multichannel audio, and/or subtitles (if available in/to the original file) in an anamorphic or non-anamorphic rendering using the basic GUI and/or line-oriented settings. (I.e., properly used, this is a very powerful utility.)

    Vera,
    Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
    Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

  • How to convert VHS  home movies to DVD?

    How do I get best quality converting VHS to DVD. I will need to use iMovie as some need heavy editing. I know I can get them into iMovie via firewire using the D/A converter on my newer Canon camcorder. My Question (s)? is /are: What settings & format should I use to import into iMovie8 and to export to iDVD for best possible quality when played on a large screen (50inch). Several of the tapes were in such poor shape that the D/A converter on the canon wouldn't play them and I had to digitize them by playing through Eye-Tv(not the best solution but the only one I could come up with). Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give.
    Dave

    How do I get best quality converting VHS to DVD.
    Use iMovie 06 instead.
    iMovie 08 now uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage.
    I find I get the best quality using iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (use Professional Quality encoding in iDVD 08).
    iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    To get your VHS video into iMovie, look at the Canopus ADVC300. Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (not sure about iMovie 08).
    The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).

    You will need to use a "Real" Mac, (with a Firewire input).

  • Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

  • Audio and video out of sync on converted AVI file

    I am trying to convert a DVD to an AVI for playback on a device. When I import the DVD and publish it as an .AVI the output audio and video are out of sync. After about an hour of playback the audio lags the video by a full second. How can I correct this problem?

    If you have Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 and you want to rip VOBs from the DVD-VIDEO to export subsequently to DV AVI, here are the details....
    1. Do you have DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen? Set the Premiere Elements 12 project preset manually.
    File Menu/New/Project. Set the project preset to NTSC or PAL DV Standard or NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen depending on what you have.
    Before you exit the new project dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on this Project.
    2. In the Premiere Elements workspace, use Add Media/DVD camera or computer drive/Video Importer to get the VOBs (only the ones in the series VTS_01_1.VOB. Set to a folder in the Save In: location. Check mark next to Insert in Timeline. Hit Get Media.
    3. If you have an orange line OVER the Timeline content, press the Enter key to get the best possible preview of what you have on that Timeline.
    If after all that, the audio is out of sync, then use the Command Prompt method to get the individual VOBs into a single file with all the VOBs seamlessly merged. This worked nicely for a recent user here. See details in my blog post how to for the Command Prompt way.

    Depending on your results, more information may be requested about the specific properties of what you have on that DVD disc.
    Thank you.

  • I need easy audio and video converting and editing software?

    I need easy audio and video converting and editing software that wont cost $400.

    I highly recommend you try Video Monkey. It's free, though donations are certainly accepted, and does an excellent job of converting .mov to .wmv. Choose Best (2 Pass) for Encoding Speed and depending upon the size of your original file, uncheck 320 pixels wide to create a larger converted image. I set Quality to "Go Nuts".
    Another good commercial program is Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. It works as video converter and editor. The version for 2 Pass conversion is approximately $69. , which is considerably less than the $400+ that Adobe Premiere is asking for its editor. I'd still prefer a freebie though, but there's little choice...

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

    I need help, I send two jobs to my eprint address and it didn't print, nor does not even show that it even got the job. I sent it from both of the e-mails that I have set up for it to except. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong. By the way my printer is a HP photosmart premium fax series C410A AIO.

    Hey mitzidg!
    Has ePrint been working for you in the past? If so, try power cycling your printer (unplugging it for about 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.) If you are still having a problem, try waiting a few hours and then trying again. Occasionally we are doing updates on the ePrint servers that can cause delays.
    Hope this helps!
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
