No voice for imported videos from hard drive.

i don't really know what has gone wrong,Coz I'm new to macs.I have recently bought a macbook Pro. And it comes with iLife 6. i have transferred some of my videos that i have recorded with my digital camera long time ago. I have stored those videos in my PC's hard drive, and now i transfer it from my pc to my new mac by burning them into a DVD as a data DVD using Nero burning software. Then i copy it from the DVD to my mac's hard drive. And then i start to import some videos from my mac's hard drive to iMovie HD. And i start to notice that the videos that i imported have no voice. And i still work on it anyway. When I have finally burned it to the DVD using iDVD. I have found out there is completely no voice for the imported videos when i play it. Please somebody help me out of this. I really like iMovie and i have spent days on it for this matter.
࿇The videos are recorded with a Sony DSC P41(It's just a digital camera but can record videos too)
࿇And the video format should be MPEG-4
Thanks in advance!!

  • Importing video from hard drive causes windows to crash

    Whenever I try to add video files to itunes either itunes freezes or windows crashes. I've tried comepletely reinstalling itunes and Quicktime as well as using selective configuration on startup but still keeps happening. Any suggestions?
      Windows XP Pro  

    Hmmm. I installed the new driver but still no go. After I install and startup again I get notices that new hardware has been detected (video something, VGA compliant...) and Windows prompts me to install the correct drivers. I tried iTunes before and after accepting this prompt for another driver but always the same.
    After starting up again and before accepting the Windows prompt I checked the Device Manager and there was a yellow question mark beside a VGA device (not sure if I remember this correctly) which hadn't appeared in the list before. After accepting the prompt this device disappeared.
    And ideas where to turn next?

  • Application for importing videos from a digital camera

    I have a Canon PowerShot SD100 that I got a year and a half ago. It came with a CD that included software that could be used to import both the pictures and videos it took. However, after installing it, the CD got lost, probably ended up in the trash, and now I have no way to import the videos onto my new computer. (I use iPhoto for the pictures.)
    Canon doesn't have a version of that same software, called ImageBrowser, available for download, and I've looked on my computer, but I can't seem to find any application that I could use to import the videos.
    If anyone knows of a free application that would let me import my videos, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks a ton!
    Jill

    I don't use any software for importing videos from my camera I take the memory card out the camera. I insert it into my card reader. The memory card mounts on my desktop I can then drag and drop the movies from the card into my movies folder.

  • How to import mts from hard drive

    Hello,
    I'm looking for some help on importing .mts AVCHD files into FCP X direct from my hard drive. I have a lot of files on the drive that aren't on my Panasonic GH2 memory card so I can't import direct from camera. If I try to put the files back onto a memory card with the Panasonic GH2 directory structure it doesn't see them there either.
    I've tried re-wrapping to .mov and the .mov file will play perfectly in quicktime but when I bring it into FCP X it plays back with occasional green frames ever 2-3 seconds. I've checked that the frame rate is correct in the project and with the clip.
    I don't mind re-wrapping the files as it's quite quick but even that's no working. I could convert them all to prores but that will take quite some time and once again I'd rather avoid!
    It seems that FCP X is still not quite right despite the last two updates. I've had to stick with Premiere Pro for serious work as FCP X isn't reliable yet but I really wanted to test out the new multi cam editing.
    Any advice or help would be great.

    I've tried re-wrapping to .mov
    What did you use to do this? Did you use ClipWrap, Media Converter, something else?

  • Problem for deleting photos from hard drive within Iphoto 8

    Hi there,
    I am a new switcher, I bought a Macbook Pro last month...
    I tried to manage my photo library with Iphoto but I cannot succeed in deleting pictures within Iphoto interface.
    I've red some similar posts on this forum but nothing helped me.
    When I put pictures in trash then empty Iphoto trash, my pictures are still on the hard drive and it is really annoying...
    I unchecked the box in preferences to copy pictures in IPhoto Library, of course.
    I tried to delete my Iphoto library and rebuild it.
    It doesn't work !!
    For information, my pictures are in a shared directory (shared between the two users of my Macbook) and all permissions ok !
    Thanks for help.

    I unchecked the box in preferences to copy pictures in IPhoto Library, of course.
    Of course you did. And that explains why the photos are not removed from the HD.
    When you uncheck this box you’re saying to iPhoto: ‘Don’t touch my photos, I want to manage them myself’. So, that means you need to get them from your camera to where ever you store them yourself. It also means that in the event of deleting them, you’ll need to do that too.
    There are a number of potential pitfalls using this Referenced system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.
    my pictures are in a shared directory (shared between the two users of my Macbook) and all permissions ok !
    This, of course, means that edits made by one user are not visible to the toehr. There are other ways to share if you’re interested.
    Regards

  • IPhoto 08 no longer importing photos from hard drive.

    When I attempt to import photos into iPhoto from my laptop's harddrive, it displays an error message saying it cannot locate the files and gives me the option to locate the particular file or skip it. I've tried locating it and it does actually work but then it displays the same error for every single photo and there are sometimes as many as 300 photos that I am trying to import and locating them each individually is very tedious and time consuming.
    Any suggestions or advice?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How are you attempting to import the photos? Are you dragging them in the Finder from the hard drive into the open iPhoto window? Or are you clicking on a thumbnail in iPhoto and get that message?
    If you can see the file in the Finder you should be able to drag it into the open iPhoto window with getting that message.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • IPhoto 6 crashes when importing photos from hard drive

    I just installed and updated iPhoto 6. Each time I try to import to the library photos from my hard drive, whether one or many, iPhoto quits. Anybody else have this problem? Any advice?

    This is my "fix" and everythings now works fine !!!
    I have only tested this fix on my Mac, which is a Powerbook G4 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.8, QuickTime 7.1.3 and iPhoto 6.0.5...
    1. Shutdown any running apps (esp iPhoto/Elements).
    2. Locate the 'Embed Chosen Profile' AppleScript in your Library\Scripts\ColorSync folder on your Mac OS X start-up disk.
    3. Make an alias of the above script (⌘L) and then move the alias to your desktop or other convenient location.
    4. Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library Folder (I just used Copy 'n' Paste from the Finder).
    5. Locate the problematic photos from within your iPhoto Library's sub-folders and drag them (a folder at a time if necessary) to the 'Embed Chosen Profile' script alias on your desktop.
    6. The Script should run and ask you to select a ColorSync Profile. Navigate to System\Library\ColorSync\Profiles and select the 'sRGB Profile' (this is the profile recommended by Apple).
    7. The script will then embed the selected sRGB ColorSync profile into each image that was contained in the folder that you dragged onto the script icon at step 5.
    You will have to run the 'Embed Chosen Profile' script against photos stored in both your Originals and Modified folders within your iPhoto Library Folder. You do not need to run the script against the photos in your Data folder (because the Data folder only contains thumbnail images).
    The process wasn't too bad for me, I have over 4000 or so photos. It took about 40 minutes.
    Unfortunately the script doesn't process folders that contain sub-folders. So you have to select the 'actual' parent folder that contains the images that you want to fix.
    Once all of your images are fixed, you can restart iPhoto and see if it has resolved the problem.
    Once Apple issue a proper fix (hopefully an updated version of QuickTime), I will probably revert to my backup iPhoto Library, but for now at least, I'm back up and running!

  • Cannot import files from hard drive

    I just got an iPod and downloaded iTunes (for Windows). I imported some music from CDs, but I can't import files from my hard drive. I've tried adding them as files and in a folder. Every time, nothing happens. I don't get an error message, but the songs don't show up anywhere in iTunes or on my iPod. Can anyone help me?
    P.S. They are .aac files.
    iTunes 7.0.2.16   Windows XP  

    Can you confirm that you are following one of the methods in the Add to Library section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    In particular, pay attention to the statement that "iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."

  • Importing songs from hard drives

    I have songs on my hard drive that already are separated into various categories and files for ease of reference.
    is there any way to import these songs into itunes and keep them in the files in which they are already separated into?
    for example, i have an oldies file on my hard drive. when i import that file into itunes, all the songs go into the general library. i then have to create a playlist in itunes and hunt for those songs to recreate the file on my hard drive as a playlist. is this the only way to maintain the files in itunes in the manner i already have them on my hard drive?

    Open iTunes, Select FILE, Select ADD FILE or ADD FOLDER to LIBRARY, when the box opens search for your F: drive, locate you music, select all songs/folders you want to add and click OPEN.
    Let us know if this works for you.

  • Importing video from hard disk

    I have quicktime 7.1.3 and I have .mpg file movies taken from my sony digital cd mavica-they play fine in quicktime but I cannot import them to imovie-
    I read somewhere that I need quicktime 6.5 and I need to uninstall quicktime 7.1.3-
    true, and how do I do that OR what is a solution for me?
    Thanks!

    Hi Guccigirl:
    Welcome t odiscussions!
    QT 6.5.2 with imovie 4 and OS 10.3.9 is often suggested here for those using DV tape cameras. In your case, I don't think it will matter.
    You do not have a firewire on your camera so you will have to suffer with the slower USB tansfer.
    iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips (and that's what you're trying to do)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42996
    You'll need:
    MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free) and the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).
    http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    Once you do that...these are the steps I once copied from a DCR-SR100 user...(I have not done this myself)
    To transfer the data to the IMAC:
    1- Plug the USB cable, once detected (5s), press HDD on the touch creen panel
    2- Go to Finder (on the Mac) then open the videos folder /MP_ROOT/100PNV01/M2U0001.MPG for example
    3- Drag the .MPG file to the mac
    4- Start Streamclip (see message further up the discussion)
    Export using for example .DV format, readable by I-Movie.
    5-Import the new file in I-movie

  • Imported Songs from Hard Drive Not Converting MP3 Tags Properly

    This is a problem that I am having with files that I am adding to iTunes with "File==>Add Folder To Library". These are mp3 files. I no longer have the CDs. The mp3 files and their tags (like song artist and album) are being read properly by Windows. However, when I add them to iTunes, sometimes only the song title gets applied. Tags like artist and album don't get transferred by iTunes. It doesn't happen with all files, but with the ones that it happens to, it does not get corrected if I try to add them a second time.
    Please help. I am sick of manually editing files in iTunes when Windows sees them just fine.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure if I understand your question, but try this: Go to View menu and choose view options. Turn on the fields that you want to show.

  • Importing video from Sony Handycam

    What is the proper workflow for importing video from my Sony DCR SR82 into iMovie '08?
    Anyone do this successfully?

    I just bought a related Sony camera, the DCR-SR220. I am still trying to figure out the optimal way, but have been able to see it on my imac by
    1) installing from Apple Software site Quicktime mpeg-2 playback component (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/) and
    2) installing MPEG Streamclip (www.squared5.com)
    1) Via USB I hook up my camera and it shows up as a harddisk. I then boot Streamclip and open the file(s) I want to open from the camera. This can take substantial time.
    2) Export as a Quicktime file (.mov)
    3) Open up the .mov file in iMovieHD and edit there.
    If you know of any better way, please let me know.
    Best from Jersey.
