Possible change MPEG4 file extension to Win Movie Maker file type?

After downloading a song from iTunes in .m4p file, Win Movie Maker says it will only accept extensions such as .wav, .wma, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa
Is there a way to convert the downloaded file, or a way to get it from iTunes in an acceptable format?

Are microsoft movie maker files compatible with final cut pro files?

I would like to know if microsoft movie maker files are compatible with Final Cut Pro?
Thanks,
elemir

depends on how you're outputting. .wmv I don't think so.That's pretty much a dead end format. mp4 might be, but i'm not sure if movie maker outputs them. .avi might be, depends on the codec used.
Avoid .wmv, apple products don't play well with that format (never have) and aim for some other output type. Then on your mac, if you don't already have it, if you don't already have it, get the free converter mpegstreamclip and see if it can convert your movie maker output into something final cut will input. DV files are good, as are .mov files.

Changed file extension FCP cant find the files

I am working on an old project created with FCP2. The captured source clips do not have a file extension and it was giving me trouble sending clips over to Motion. I changed (manually) the file extension of one file to see what happens. Predictably FCP could not locate the file and I had to relink. The problem is that every time I opened FCP it gave me the same error. So I manually REMOVED the extension. FCP still gives me the same error message! and I have to manually find the file each time I open the project. In the finder the files without an extension show up as a black icon, but the file I messed around with the extension now shows up as a QT icon (even though i deleted the extension). Any advice on how I can get FCP to recognize the file once and for all, and maybe how to better change extensions? gracias!

From the Finder, right click one of the files and choose Get Info.
In that window you will see a section "Name and extension".
There is a checkbox to hide/show the extension.
You can also apply the hide/show option for everything at once in Finder > Preferences > Advanced.
Back to that Get Info window: What application is listed under the "Open With" section?

Batch Rename with additional "."s, drops the file extension. Request for "Keep File Extension" option...

I NEVER name files with extra "." s in the name. I realize that all OS's (even Windows) will recognize it, but I haven't gotten out the old mindset of 8.3 filenaming... Although I do use longer names. So... I was surprised to see that when I was renaming files as per a clients naming preference to add a period within the name, the file extension is removed.
For example:
original file - 2014_10_31_1643.CR2 when batch renaming to "2014.31" + sequence, drops the "CR2" extension.
but.... if I change it to "2014_31" + sequence, the ".CR2" remains
Since adding multiple "." is a legitimate naming convention, shouldn't the file extension remain? Or, possibly this could be made more flexible by adding a check box "Keep file extension"
just a thought.

Refer to this stackexchange article:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/47319/how-can-i-make-os-x-recognize-new -file-extensions
The finder will only select the filename only for "known" file types.

.aspx file extension (Active Server Page Extended File)

Running an Intel iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and Firefox 3.6.12.
I recently have received links to web pages that have files with the .aspx file extension. When trying to open the files they are downloaded to my hard drive, but will not open.
Web information on this file extension indicates that any web browser including Firefox will open the file.
As stated above Firefox will not open files with the .aspx extension. Can anyone explain why?
Incidentally Safari opens the files with the .aspx extension. I don't routinely use Safari. Firefox is my default browser and would prefer to use it if possible.

An asp page is an asp page is an asp page, whether or not you
use
includes in it. Unless you do some fancy server
configuration, in order
for the server to recognize it as an asp page and parse it as
such, its
extension should be .asp (or .aspx).
If you mean the include file, it doesn't matter what its
extension is. I
just tested on an IIS5 server, and ASP code was parsed in an
include with
an extension of .monkeybutt. There are two advantages of
naming them
with a .asp extension:
- DW recognizes them as asp files
- Their contents won't display if somebody finds them by
accident

Importing windows movie maker files into imovie

I am trying to import files from Windows movie maker over to I movie.

Why won't iTunes let me use songs I purchased in a movie maker file?

doesnt' seem to be any rhyme or reason...I can drag some files from iTunes directly into Movie Maker and others it just won't allow. Some of my music shows up in explorer when I use Movie Maker to "Add Music" and some of the songs, including those I purchased don't. What do I need to do to free all of my music?

Two suggestions.
Wait.
Update iTunes to 11.1.3.8 if you haven't already.

My challenge: recovering original iWeb files from 2010-2011 timeframe, which included a blog consisting of original postings from me and comments posted to the web from family and friends. I have the web archive files - but did not move iWeb files then.

Background: I started this blog while living overseas and going to sea with the Navy. Missed the opportunity to move the iWeb files with content attached from the mobile.me server to another server. Now, I have the original web archive files - good - but not the comments added to them by family and friends - bad.
My ultimate objective is to create a hard-cover bound book of these files with the comments on the blog ... they document a rather significant experience in my family's life ... to do this, I need to recover the original files with postings.
Any thoughts or insight would be sincerely appreciated!
Thanks, cfwnavy

You have replied to a post that is a month old now and the OP has never replied, so you are probably wasting your time here.
If you read the OP's post and my reply, you will see that he will not be able to recover his blog and neither will you.
If your Mac was stolen and you did not back up your iWeb domain.sites files, then you CANNOT get your blog back.
If you published your site to a host/server, then you can download it back onto your Mac and you will have to re-build your blog/website from scratch and re-publish, but all your replies and responses to posts will be lost and you can never get these back.
My advice would be to re-create your blog in another format such as WordPress.com which is free and don't use iWeb again.
There are plenty of alternatives out there.

Missing original files after attempting to move all files to external drive

After reading numerous threads regarding iTunes not being able to locate the original file after moving it to an external drive, I'm in a slightly different boat since most seem to be able to "locate" their original music. It appears the order in which this is done is particularly important and I suspect this is where I screwed up. I posted this earlier in response to another thread mistakenly under iTunes for Windows, but now I'm realizing where I may have made my main mistake.
Over a year ago, I had moved my iTunes folder from my Music folder from the HD to my 250 GB external drive. I did not rename it. Kept it the same name. Went into the Advanced folder in iTunes Preferences and chose to use the external drive as my source for music and everything worked fine. Don't remember consolidating and it appears based on the way that I did it, I may not have had to.
Recently I found a folder in my Music folder on the Mac's HD titled iTunes and assumed this was holding the original files and that my iTunes wasn't actually running from my external drive at all, but that it had been using the HD on the Mac the whole time (didn't realize that it kept a copy there). So, I took that file and moved it to the external drive. Not sure if I "replaced" it or "deleted" the old one on the external drive (it was late and it was a few days ago). Now I'm realizing that I probably took out my true original files as now all that is there is about 16 music files under "iTunes Music". I tried consolidating and this didn't make any difference since it just consolidated all of the same files. If I open iTunes and hold the option key down that doesn't make any difference either since it still can't find the originals.
Now that I realize what I've done, thinking back I should have been more surprised that it was only 1.3GB of music when really my library is closer to 40 GB. I've just lost a lot of music. Is there anyway to retrieve the rest of the original library or am I cooked?
Many thanks for any help.

IPod Touch 5Gen movie file extension is MOV.mov - why?

I noticed when I recorded a movie today, the file extension was .MOV.mov . I've never seen this before. I can watch it fine.
When I record using my iPad 2, the movies just have .MOV as the file extension.
Is this a glitch and if so, how to fix it? ( I'm wondering if people who I send the recording to will be able to view it.)
Thanks.

No, I didn't. I sent the movies to my computer via text (imessage).
I just decided to sync/upload them via iPhoto and the file extension is now .MOV
Have you any idea what changes it when it's sent via imessage on device to imessage on computer?

Unable to change File Type for specific file extensions

Under Preferences->File Types different file extensions are assigned a file type e.g. The file extension .pkb is assigned the file type of PL/SQL. The file type of PL/SQL then opens the Code editor.
I have a user who would prefer to open .pkb files in the SQL Worksheet editor but I am unable to change the file type to SQL Script as the option is greyed out.
How do I change the File Type for these extensions? Is there a preferences file I need to change?
Version: 3.2.20.09
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
There is no preference but it turns out you can manually edit one of the preferences.xml files to force PL/SQL types to use the SQL worksheet editor. For SQL Developer 3.2.20.09.87 that file is system3.2.20.09.87\o.sqldeveloper.11.2.0.9.87\preferences.xml and will be located (on Windows 7, for example) in directory C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
No guarantee this will work in future versions of the product, but for now you can add the following two xml blocks...
For example, for .pls, add to <extensionToContentTypeMap ...>
            <Item>
               <Key>.pls</Key>
               <Value>TEXT</Value>
            </Item>
and <userExtensionList>
            <Item>
               <docClassName>oracle.ide.db.model.SqlNode</docClassName>
               <userExtensions class="java.util.ArrayList">
                  <Item class="oracle.ide.config.DocumentExtensions$ExtInfo">
                     <extension>.pls</extension>
                     <locked>false</locked>
                  </Item>
               </userExtensions>
            </Item> I researched this a while back after reading through some forum thread where someone claimed the PL/SQL file extensions got opened in the SQL editor in his environment, but without stating any specific release information. Possibly it worked for him then due to different product behavior (whether intentional or a bug), or perhaps even due to the technique described above.

Cannot set default programs for a file extension in Gnome

After a gnome upgrade (cannot remember when), I can no longer set the default program for a particular file extension by right clicking the file in nautilus -> going to "properties" -> going to "open with" tab -> highlighting a program -> pressing "set as default".

The program I was trying to set was totem for default video playback; wine had made windows media player the default player prior. Interestingly, once I installed gnome-mplayer; the default program changed to gnome-mplayer and I was then able to switch default programs. This error may be related to wine.

Cant' save files on desktop or move to desktop

Hello,
1. I can't save any file to desktop or move any file to desktop.
2. If I klick the Icon "Desktop" in the Finder-Window I get the Message "There is no default application specified to open the document “Desktop”." and the option "Choose Application".
Any ideas to solve the problem?
a4n

Thank you for the hint.
Opened "Get Info" and "locked" is not selected but ...
"Get Info" says the Desktop folder is not a "folder"! It's a "package" (General, Kind).
Is it possible to change from "Kind: package" to "Kind: folder"?

Using an * for all file extensions in a class selection parser

Using iFS 1.1.9....
I have successfully gotten a custom document class created using
xml. I have used the following code to set up the parser, etc.
If I use a specific file extension like txt the parser will
upload the file as my custom class. However, if I use * for all
file extensions the parser uploads all files as Document class.
Here is what I am using:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>

<PropertyBundle>
<Update
Reftype='ValueDefault'>ParserLookupbyfileExtension</Update>
<Properties>
<Property Action = 'add'>
<Name>*</Name>
<Value Datatyupe = 'String'>
oracle.ifs.beans.parsers.ClassSelectionParser
</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>
</Propertybundle>
When the above is uploaded I can go into iFS Manager and see
that the parser has been registered with * as the file extention.
I then upload this:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>

<PropertyBundle>
<Update
Reftype='ValueDefault'>IFS.PARSER.ObjectTypeLookpByFileExtension
</Update>
<Properties>
<Property Action = 'add'>
<Name>*</Name>
<Value Datatype='String'>QualDocument</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>
</PropertyBundle>
If I have txt or some other extension for the Name in place of
the * and upload a document it will put the class as
QualDocument. If I have the * it defaults to Document.
Is there a way to have the parser make all uploaded documents
QualDocument instead of Document without doing this for each and
every possible file extension?
Thanks.

Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

Hi All,
In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
"The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                           type="excelHTML"
                           filename="Export.xls"
                           title="Excel export"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks
