Please help me - importing videos

Please help me if you can... I just finished converting a video on Videora, and now I have located the file, but I cannot drag and drop it into iTunes. I have tried going to File > Import... locating the file, and entering it, but that has not worked. Then I tried putting the file as a desktop icon and dragging and dropping it into iTunes, but that appeared to have failed also. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated - please!

I have the same problem too. I downloaded videos from limewire and it says that its a WAV file or something but its really quicktime. Maybe I have that backwards but I wonder if it can be converted to the correct file that the ipod plays.

Please HELP very important video lost after restoring from backup

I used my iphone 4 to record me preposing to my fiance and then today I stupidly sync to computer and restore from my 3GS backup before backing up the video files. Is there anyway to get the video back? Please help this is the most important thing in our life. Anything, Anyone please help. I am very devastated right now!

Too be honest. If you recorded the video on the iPhone 4, and then synced the iPhone 4 to iTunes to the computer it is usually connected to, then the video should be backed up.
I'm not sure though, how you managed to have your iPhone 4 up and running, but then restore from a backup from your 3GS?? If you have synced your iPhone 4 to iTunes before, then the backup will have been from the iPhone 4. You get the option the first time you connect the iPhone 4 to iTunes, to either setup as a new device or restore from a backup (that's if you have had a iPhone previously). You can restore the iPhone (which would set it up has a new device, which would remove everything off of it). If you have done this, has far as I know the old information off of the iPhone, would be still there until you synced the iPhone to iTunes again.
In Windows, the library file for iTunes is in username (whatever you are called) music/iTunes, the library file is called iTunes Library.itl, also in this location is the iTunes/iTunes Media folder, in there should be any video/s that have been synced from your iPhone.
Other information off of the iPhone are in the following location:
(You will need to first make sure you have Windows set to show hidden files & folders), Username/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer
I hope you manage to find your video.

Please help with importing and using imovie and idvd

Hi,
Please forgive my lack of knowledge. I previously had a mini dv camcorder that was so easy to use with imovie hd. Now that I have switched to an HD Usb 2.0 camcorder that has built in 16gb memory and memory cards, I have had such a great deal of trouble. I really hope you can help and point me in the right directions.
Importing movies are fine, but they take so long! Currently, when I import a movie, I set the camcorder to PC mode and import through imovie. But the camcorder stays on, and I'm not sure if this is the best way or healthiest for the camcorder. Do you have a better/faster way to import movies? Is there a way to drag the video from the memory onto the computer, and then from there import the movie? I think at least I wouldn't have to leave the camcorder on.
Also, one major issue I have is that each movie is broken down into 100 or so clips. I coach basketball, and videotape the games. When there is stoppage, I pause the camcorder. I guess that creates so many clips, so that when the film is imported, there are over 100 clips for the entire movie. Is there a way of making that just 1 entire movie/clip?
Once I have imported the entire movie, which is 100+ clips, I want to simply create a dvd of the game. I know I have to share it, but do you have a better suggestion as to how I should handle this?
In the past, all I did was import the mini dv movie into imovie HD, share into idvd, and then that was it, dvd made. This process had become so time consuming.
Please help!

Yes, I recognized there would be a slight pause between clips - but after all - you paused the camera at those points.
Putting them all in sequence in iMovie and then encoding in iDVD will take a lot of time.
An old favorite saying of mine is "not every job worth doing, is worth doing well'. The meaning being sometimes 95% is good enough so you can go on to the next job.
How much work do you want to put into each DVD? Can you live with the slight pauses?
would you suggest using a memory card?
Yes, but 16GB cards aren't cheap (yet).

Please help - CD import issue in itunes

I would really appreciate some help.
I have a Sony Vaio laptop and a HP I Pod.
Have used Itunes with no problems for 9 months and have imported/ripped hundreds of CDs into my library with no issues.
Recently, however, iTunes stopped allowing me to import/rip CDs into my library. When I try, it imports the first 4-5 seconds of the first song and then locks my entire computer up. I have to power down the laptop.
I attempted to run the CD diagnostic through iTunes, that also locked up the laptop.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times.
I had my IT guy look at the laptop and do some preliminary research. He indicated that this is not uncommon and that others have reported having this problem since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.
Based on that, I un-installed 6.0 and went back to the version that came with the iPod. I think it is 4.9. Problem still exists.
Please help. I still have a lot of music I would like to load into iTunes.
Thanks!

Frustrated Please Help! ~ Squished Video

I received a video clip that is 16:9, but it looks squished. It should only be 4:3. I need a way to un-squish it.
I was hoping that when I imported it into iMovie there would be a way to change the aspect ratio and un-squish it. (to be clear, the video should be 4:3, but when I received it, someone had squished it into a 16:9.)
In iMovie, if I select "cropping and rotation" and click "Fit" then the squished video is still squished, but there are now black borders on the top and bottom. What can I do to fix this?
Oh and I read somewhere online that I could change the aspect ratio using DivX player. I was able to open it in DivX player and view it with the proper aspect ratio, but now there doesn't seem to be a way I can save the corrected version to import into iMovie.
Any suggestions??
Sincerely,
Kimberly

Okay. My Logic Pro Studio worked great. Until one of my children used it and forgot what they did.
Now when I create an instrument track and use an LP instrument from the library, I also hear simultaneously the midi from my Yamaha S80 which I have used as a controller. I do use the instruments from the Yamaha S80 when I wish to on a separate audio track. But whenever I try to create an instrument track, I also hear the midi voices from the Yamaha. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!
Thanks so much in advance!
-Perhaps you had "MIDI Local" set to OFF on the S80 controller.
-set the volume on the S80 to off until you need the sounds.
-You are actually creating a MIDI track instead of an Instrument track.
-USB Midi is flummoxed and plugging/unplugging then rebooting Logic may fix (as mentioned by the previous poster)

Problem-PLEASE HELP! IMPORTANT!

I have a Lenovo G530 laptop and all of a sudden, for no reason at all, the integrated webcam that is built into the computer won't work. I always keep my laptop in the same safe place, have never spilled anything on it, have done nothing to make it not work properly. I bought it brand new in September (it is February now) so it isnt that old either. I went to use my webcam on windows live messenger and it came up as a white screen. I went to My Computer, then to take pictures with it from its icon and it came up as the same white screen. I just used my webcam on Skype the other night and it worked fine. Everything else on my computer is running normally, but my webcam is very important to me as I use it alot to keep in touch with friends and family while I'm in university. If someone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

right click my computer > manage > device management > camera > right click > remove device.
restart your computer and let windows install it again.
also you may need to re-install camera software, too.

Please help with importing packages

I am trying to learn the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. I have successfully installed java2SDK.
I downloaded the JAI library (jai-1_1_2-rc-lib-windows-i586.exe) and have installed it.
After installation, I added the JAI lib to the CLASSPATH.
CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib
when I try compiling a demo program from this tutorial page:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/javaai/jai/src/FrontPage.java
I get these errors,
package javax.media.jai does not exist
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
how do I know which directory to copy the JAI lib files to so that
this import statement can find JAI
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
please help if you can
Thanks
John

Hi,
You have to give the full path of the jar file in classpath along with the jar file name
something like CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib\jai.jar ...see the jar file name and include that also

Can someone help with importing video from Canon XA10 (AVCHD) into PE 11?

In PE 11 when I import video from my canon xa10 (avchd) the quality is terrible, I also have a canon xa20, 60D and gopro that I video with and they all turn out with great video quality. Is there a reason why the xa10 video quality is bad? Setting I need to change?

Thanks for the follow up.
In Premiere Elements 11 and 12 takes over setting the project preset based on the properties of the first file drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it right; sometimes not. You can check what the project has set by using the readings from Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out. If the project preset is set for NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080p30, then the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should be as represented in the following screenshot
Please refer to setting the project preset yourself manually and then importing the source media into the project.

PLEASE HELP crop my video in frame before transferring it to DVD

Please help. I don't know how to crop specific clips that the camera may have shot off-balance, something I did very easily in Elements 9. Plus once that gets taken care off, how do I transfer it to dvd? The setup is completely different from Elements 9.

You need to post your question at this link:

This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

Could someone please help me import my iphoto photos into aperture? They are now just referenced files.

Hello,
I am a longtime iphoto user and installed aperture this past december. At that time I imported all my iphoto photos as referenced files and kept them in their iphoto location. Since that time, every photo I took was uploaded directly into aperture and stored there. I am now comfortable enough with aperture that I would like to use it as my primary photo viewer / manipulator and would like to merge my two libraries into one single aperture library. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do this.
I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect. I then tried reimporting my iphoto library, however, this simply duplicated many of my events (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). Both of these attempts did nothing to combine my aperture projects and my iphoto events (which are now seen as a seperate iphoto tab under projects). I am aware that I can now switch to my iphoto library within aperture in version 3.3, but I just want everything stored in one place and in my aperture library. Can someone please help me with this?
The only thing I can think of is deleting all of the iphoto events from aperture and then reimporting them, but I am scared I will either delete something permenantly or that they will simply reimport as referenced files and remain within iphoto.
Please help!
Thanks,
- Mike

Mike,
I am not quite clear about the current state of your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. It looks like you have plenty of broken links to referenced masters in either library. Whatever you do now, it is very important to ensure that you have a working backup, both of your iPhoto Library and your Aperture library, before you try a major reconstruction.
I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.
In what way did it not have any effect? From the effects you are describing, it looks like all your original master images have been removed from the iPhoto Library and are now inside the Aperture library as managed masters - at least, this would explain, why trying to import the iPhoto library resulted in duplicated projects (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). You removed the original masters from the iPhoto library, and now you could not import it, since the originals are now in Aperture.
For me it looks, like you simply need to delete the iPhoto images marked with an exclamation mark, for these are already bound to images that you imported earlier. It is perfectly o.k. that the recently imported iPhoto Library appears in a separate section of the projects in your Library Inspector Panel. Each iPhoto event should appear as a project. Aperture will put them there, so you can find them easily.
You should check now, if the originally imported images, that you imported as referenced, are now managed. If you enable badge overlays you should see no longer any arrows on the thumbnails of your earlier imports. Also, if you select one of these images, you should be able to toggle between original master and version by typing the "M" key.
Define some smart albums (File > New > Smart album) based on the file status: Add a rule: File status is.
One smart album: File Status is referenced
One smart album: File Status is managed
One smart album: File Status is missing
The first album should be empty.
The second album should show all your images you originally imported from iphoto as managed, and that you recently consolidated.
The third album should show your recent import - the images imported from iPhoto after you consolidated the originals to Aperture and removed these images from iPhoto.
Post back, when you have checked the file status of your images in Aperture and we can be sure were the images are exactly.
Regards
Léonie

Please help in selecting video card

I have an older 500 MHZ (single cpu) G4. I just bought a 23" Apple display. I use the comp. for graphics applications (photoshop, illustrator, etc)
The video card I have in the G4 currently is an ATI Rage 128 Pro. I need to upgrade for the new monitor. I need an AGP card with at least 128 MB and a DVI connection for the new Apple display.
Also, right out of the box, the display does not work. I had it all hooked up and plugged in and the display never turns on. The LED light doesnt even light up. Is this a bad transformer or a video card problem.
I am sending the display back.
Please help me pick out the correct video card. All of the ones I have seen are either for the G5 or not for certain generation G4. I will be upgrading to G5 sometime next year but I have to work with this one for now.
Thanks for your help.
Paul
