Player pauses and skips with .mp4 files from video camera

As you will tell, I'm a total novice at this video stuff. I just purchased this new Sanyo HD1 video camera. It creates .MP4 files and says they can be played with QuickTime (included with on the CD!). When I play the clips with QT, I get terrible playback - video/audio pauses and large chucks of video just drops. I've tried the clips on a variesty of high end machines (latest version of QT) with the same results. Interestingly enough, if you use the product that also comes on the CD for viewing (ULead) - everything looks smooth. I'd rather use QuickTime and go Pro for those features if I can get it to work. Suggestions?
Sony Vaio 3.8Ghz, 1G Ram Windows XP

I also have this same problem and have found I can get the file to play if I select the "add to selection and scale" option under the edit tab. However when I exit and save the option I still have to select the option on the same file the next time I open it in order to get the file to play.
What is the fix?

Cannot import and work with the files from Canon 6D and Panasonic GH4

Thanks for your answer, but it is not really helpful. Perhaps my question was not exactly enough-sorry but my english is not in the best condition. I dont need trials I have some applications and my Intel MAC Pro 2009 is strong enough. For instance Phase One can read my RAW-pictures from my Canon 6D, but no RAW-file from the GH4. Finalcut Pro Vers 7.0.3 no chance to open Movies made with the GH4 and the AVCHD-codec, though the AVCHD-codecs from my old Canon Videocamera works perfect. Even movies with Mpg 4 H 264 are not recognized. Perhaps I need a special Converter App, for all my Converter Apps like Mpeg streamclip or Flip for MAC cannot read and convert the these files into RS 422.

Will the DNG files perform the same, meaning will I retain all the information that makes RAW important for processing?
Yes. That's why DNGs were invented. Adobe has put a lot of work into the DNG format for this very reason.
Raw files are proprietary and manufacturer specific. Raw formats change with every make and model of camera. Software must be updated for the new Raw format of every single camera. Adobe does an admirable job of upgrading Camera Raw for every new camera.
DNG is also a Raw format but it's open source and works in any software which can read the DNG format. If camera manufacturers used the DNG format instead of their own Raw format, you would not have to upgrade Elements 10. But they don't, and probably never will, so you must upgrade the Camera Raw plugin (and therefore Elements 10 since it's not compatible with the new Camera Raw) to read the new Raw format from the 6D or add another step to your workflow with conversion to DNG first.

Working with Raw files from newer camera in CS or CS2

I have a Canon 40d camera. I'm still using CS at home and CS2 at work.
In order to work with these files in these earlier versions of PS, I have to first convert them to DNG files. Though not a complete drag, it is a bit time-consuming. Am I sort of stuck with this unless I upgrade to CS3?
Also, (and I realize it may not be off topic), is there any particular reason Canon can't use the same type of RAW file for all the cameras, instead of a new RAW file type, or why have they not embraced DNG support?
Best, David

freedda,
I know you have probably read this many times before. But ACR in Photoshop CS3 is vastly improved. There are numerous new controls that provide you with much greater flexibility with your raw images. Unless there are other factors preventing you from upgrading, it is my opinion that you would find the upgrade well worth the investment.

Need help with loading files from Sony cam!

How can I import files from a Sony DCR-SR100 camera into FCP 6.0.1?
Will it work with the Log&Transfer function?
Camerainfo here:
http://www.sony.no/view/ShowProduct.action?product=DCR-SR100E&site=odwnoNO&pageType=Overview&imageType=Main&category=SDHHard+DiskDrive

FCP does not currently support HDD camcorders. For a more detailed explanation, check out this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4719805&#4719805
The only solution I can think of that might (might) work is to import using iMovie 08, which claims to support certain HDD cams, and transfer into FCP.

No Audio with AVI Files from Digital Camera

Hey, everyone. I'm having A LOT of trouble playing videos (AVI) from my Samsung L730 digital camera. Other AVI's on my computer work just fine. However, the ones from my camera will show only video.....but NO audio in Quicktime. It is the same problem in VLC as well. I've tried the "GarageBand trick", as well as the Audio MIDI setup adjustment.
I've searched other discussions for solutions...and have had no success. I have the following codecs in my /library/quicktime folder:
AC3Codec.component
AC3MovieImport.component
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProRes422.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DivX Decoder.component
DivX Encoder.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
FLV.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Perian.component
XVIDDelegate
I'm running Leopard and Quicktime 7.4.5. Have tried looking for codecs provided by Samsung, but have found nothing. Please help me...I'm about to pull my hair out. Haha.

I'll add the suggestion to try any, or all, of these that might help to play them properly:
VLC
Perian
Streamclip

DVD player pauses and skips.

My DVD player skips? When I play a DVD in my Mac Mini, viewing it with a 32" LCD TV, the dvd will stop and pause. It's kind of like a skip, but it does not pixelate or anything?
Is my DVD player broken?

Hello there,
THanks for your answers. I just got a new 42" plasma TV. We watched a DVD and it didn't have any problems! Maybe the problem was the wiring from the LCD tv. It seems to easy to just be getting a new TV. I am going to try a few more DVD's just in case.
Ya it was skipping on all DVD's. Chick flixs, action movies, you name it.
I didn't have anything open besides the DVD player while watching movies.
I will keep you posted. thanks.

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Playing an mp4 file from my iPad on to a TV screen.

I am playing an mp4 file from my ipad 2 on to a TV screen. I would like to see the video on both the TV screen and my ipad. Currently the video can only be seen on the TV screen.
I am using an HDMI cable with an adapter to connect the ipad to the TV screen.
Thanks
Dave

OK, I can get the video to play, but I have no ability to scroll thru the movie.

Will imovie 11 (version 9.0.8) be able to import the MP4 files from the Canon Vixia HF R 400?

I realize the camcorder is just available now but I assume the MP4 files are the same as in the R300 from last year. I just want to be sure that imovie 11 will be able to import andedit the MP4 files from the canon Vixia before I purchase the camera.I understand that imovie has trouble with some MP4 files and works fine with other ones. I don't want to transcode into another format and generate gigantic files of data. I also understand that the videos with AVCHD has better video but I prefer a easier workflow. I imagine one day Apple in it's infinate wisdom will eventually support AVCHD.

two options:
• not exhausting - go to
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
these devices are tested by Apple 'bout functioning with iM
choose one = works. guaranteed.
• exhausting - learn about codecs, containers, bitrates .....
in short: AVCHD is a standard, details e.g. here at wiki
standard means: some settings are conform, some not. example: no 120fps in AVCHD.
note: there's vers1 and there's a new vers.2 .......
mp4 - just a container, or 'wrapper'.
means: like a box of chocolate, you could never know what's inside. example: 120fps in mp4.
but ........
AVCHD nor mp4 are 'codecs'.
here comes h.264 - could be in a AVCHD/mts, could be in a mp4.
iMovie: respects standards.
does NOT import non-standards-conform files/videos/datas.
encode a 1080video as 30p/h264 = would 'fit' into AVCHD
encode a 1080video as 60p/h264 = would 'fit' into AVCHD2 (=not supported by iM11), would 'fit' into mp4 (= iM11 supported) ...
mp4 is more ... 'open minded', more general; lacks therefor stuff like gps location data and other meta-tags.
the next iM13 should support AVCHD2, it's bigger brother FCPX does .....
last word:
iMovie is NO general 'cuts all movin' pictures'-app!
it is meant for consumer convenience with consumer devices.
=> supports the most 'popular' standards. not anything.

Settings when using mp4 files from Samsung GS3

Hi,
Does anyone know the settings I should select when creating a New PE10 Project and using mp4 files from a Samsung Galaxy S3 mobile phone?
Thanks

Ms Spielberg
If you are using video files from the Samsung Galaxy S3, from what I have read, it offers 1080p up to 30, that being 1920 x 1080 @ 30 progressive frames per second. Is that correct? If so, please consider.
The project preset should match the properties of your source media. In setting the Premiere Elements 10 Windows project preset (new project dialog), the choice of one of the FIip project presets range from frames sizes 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720. So, they would not be a match.
Consequently, I would ask you to consider the project preset if your source media from this Samsung Galaxy S3 are as I have read 1080p30.
NTSC (or PAL as the case may be)
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 or DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
In Premiere Elements 10 after you set the project preset, then you import your media with Get Media.
a. If you can connect your phone to the computer, you could explore Get Media/Flip/AVCHD/Cameras, Phones or Removable Drive as I think SG is suggesting.
or
b. If your phone files are saved to a hard drive location, then Get Media/Files and Folders.
Are you also asking for export suggestions?
Thanks.

Download uploaded mp4 files from MediaSense

Hi Team,
Currently i have a media Sense server where i have so many mp4 files uploaded by one of my team mate. i want to download those mp4 files from media sense server. But when i checked in Media File management there is only one option that is play, there is no option to download the file. When i checked help for that page it is mentioned like "depending on your browser, you can right click the green arrow and select an option to download the file to a location of your choice" . I tried in IE,Chrome,Firefox, but in none of the browsers i don't see download option when i right click on play button. Can some one please help me to download the file.
Is there any other way to download those files?
Note: if this is not the right community to ask this question , please redirect me to the correct one.
Thanks in advance,
Sasikumar.

Does Youtube have a download link? I think you might need an add-on for that.
If you used Firefox's Reset feature, you probably lost the extension that was providing this function, or which was broken, depending on how you look at it. Can you find an "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop? It can be difficult to figure out the names of your old extensions because they often are saved in folders named with long strings of numbers and letter (unique IDs).
Maybe if you describe how the link/button/menu used to look someone will recognize which extension it was. For example, the icon/button for [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ Video DownloadHelper] looks like 3 different colored balls.
