Problems Importing H.264 video -- are converters the answer?

Hi all,
I just picked up an HTC One S smartphone which is running Ice Cream Sandwich. The video is great. I already have clips accumulated and I wanted to edit them into a short film on imovie, but I'm unable to import the files for some reason. Both iMovie and FCP won't let me open any of the H.264/MPEG-4 files the One S records in. I can, however, play the files on my editing machine, which is a 3-year-old iMac running 10.5.8 with a 2.66 Duo and 4 GB of RAM.
I'm sort of new to mac editing software, but I'm now wondering if constantly finding new converting software is the norm, just a fact of life that I have to deal with as a new editor.
Any help would be much appreciated. Happy hunting!

Most h.264 should work.
Have you tried FILE/IMPORT MOVIE and then navigate to the h.264 file?
If that does not work, but the h.264 will play in QuickTIme PLayer, then you can get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (which is free). Drag the h.264 file into MPEG Streamclip. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec for Compressions. You can use this file in iMovie by clicking FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

MAC, importing GoPro 720 video at 120fps, the audio and video do not sync.

MAC, importing GoPro 720 video at 120fps, the audio and video do not sync. Even after rendering, the audio and video are off by several seconds. Any recommendations? Thank you, Troy@

John:
Thanks for your reply. Excuse my referring to you as "Kevin". I'm new to the Adobe Community. I have also referenced another article which is seemingly a bit easier to fix for such a non-technical woman like myself. I'm going to try both solutions. Whichever works I'll be sure to reply to the thread with my findings. I found this article which provides the following solution: http://blog.flickharrison.com/2012/04/problem-solving-in-adobe-premiere-audio-glitches-and -sync/

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv? The flipshare library is taking up too much space on my Macbook and I wanted to delete these videos once they were all tranferred to DVDs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Hello,
In my opinion, this is the best procedure to use to update your BB OS:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
However, the official download site:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
shows your installed OS to be the current version from your carrier. Therefore, how your friends got a newer OS is a question to ask them and/or your carrier.
You are, of course, free to use (via the above procedure) any carriers OS package...if another has the newer OS you want, you can use it. If you choose to do so, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the above procedure, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML
Good luck.

Mp3 audio channel problems in h.264 video file

I'm trying to encode an mp4/h.264 video file with an mp3 audio channel. I'm tried encoding it with both Adobe Media Encoder and ffmpeg (using libmp3lame). I'm streaming the video files using ffmpeg to stream the file through Red5 as a live stream. When the Flex AIR clients play the stream (using the Spark VideoDisplay component), I hear a frequent sort of chirping sounding audio artifact. I've also tried playing these files directly from my harddrive in a simple AIR app using NetStream and the Video component. When I try this I don't hear any audio at all. In both tests if I use an FLV (On2 VP6) file with an mp3 channel it sounds fine. Unfortunately I need to use h.264 video.
I've tried using AAC audio but am having a different issue with that: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4096536
Any ideas why I am seeing this audio artifact problem and how to resolve it?

Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

Hi there,
I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
Thanks for your help

Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
Cheers

Problem importing a MiniDV video on Final Cut Pro

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Air with OS X version 10.9.2 and Final Cut Pro X trial version 10.1.1. I am trying to import a miniDV tape using a Samsung miniDV Camcorder but I'm having trouble doing it. FCP recognize the camara as a DV and it sends the play, rewind, fast foward and stop funtions to the camara without problem but when I tried to import the video nothing happen. I can watch the tape in the playback function of the camera without problem but can't do it in the Mac.
I have already import 2 tapes but I don't understand whats the problem with this one. Can any one help me?
Thanks

Hi Russ
I am capturing directly to my MBA.
When I click import the playback on the camera starts but the screen on the Mac is black. After a few seconds everything stops. It doesn’t import anything.
As I told you, this is the third tape I am importing and I don’t know whats happening.
Thanks,

Why all the videos are in the same folder

Hi,
Is there a way to put videos in a different folder or they always ended up in the same folder on the Ipod, any help would be ....
thanks
Mike

My 10 step solution
1. Plug in your Ipod and start Itunes.
2. Now in Itunes select your Ipod.
3. Then go to file and click on New Smart Playlist.
4. make sure that Match the following rule is checked.
5. What I did was change artist to album and give it a name such as horror or action then press ok.
6. now when your movies are in the ipod go to your movie and click on file and click on get info.
7. A window opens and click on the info tab and under album write what you wrote for the smart playlist such as action or horror and click OK.
8. it will update your movie depending on file size and length is how long it will take to update.( for me with a dual 2.7 g5 i waited like 3-5 mins for a 2:30 hr movie.
9. Once done it will be in your new folder.
10. Your Done
I hope this helps.

How to change the Video Background Color - The Answer...Not the Question.

Hello All,
I was struggling with the Video Background Color as I was setting up my DVD. I'm new to DVD Studio Pro. I couldn't get the color to change from grey to the desired black. I was moments from asking for help, but thought to try just a bit harder. The answer lies under Preferences, Menu, Video Background Color. Just thought I'd share for future search strings by others.
Ahh, onward!

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

To reset your security questions you will need to contact apple either by phone or email, many people have asked this question before and most have all ended up contacting apple
Hope this helps
