Proper Codec for.mov files from a Mac

I am trying to utilize camcorder video recoreded by a Sony HD camera with built-in HD downloaded to a Mac.  I am assuming my friend used IMovie.  The camera files have been transfered to an external HD formated FAT32 so I can open with my PC using Elements 7.0.  When I try to import the clips, Elements tells me that this type of file is not supported or the proper codec is not installed
Is it possible to download the proper codec and if so, from where?  I am running a Dell with 8g internal and 1g on the fideo card.  the processer is a P7 so I should have enough horsepower.

Couple other considerations, possible things to try
On the Mac side I have used a free utility called MediaInfo to get info about a particular file, specifically what codec the file is encoded in.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
I would want to first ensure you can play the file back with both audio and video properly in QuickTime player on the Mac before transferring the file to the PC. You also might be able to get the info about the video codec from QuickTime player itself Window > Show Movie Inspector.
If you have the paid version of QuickTime, QuickTime Pro on the Mac, a solution might be to use that convert the .mov files into a format/codec that is more Windows/PRE 7 compatible.
In QT Pro, File > Save As, Select one of the HD options that matches the HD dimensions of your source clip. Note: There is always the chance of some video quality degredation when doing any kind of transcoding.
In PRE7 you'll want to choose a project preset that matches the source clip if possible, probably one of the AVCHD HD ones.
In relation to Steve's comment about formatting your external drive in NTFS, the Mac OS most likely won't be able to read it natively in something other than FAT32 but like he mentions there are inherent file size limitations with FAT32 (4GB max file size).
Hope some of this helps, good luck!

    How do I move files from my mac to icloud drive to free up space on my mac?

  • How do I get the codec for .mov files recorded on an ipad, so I can edit them in premiere El. 12?

    I have .mov files recorded from an ipad with these specs:
    AAC, Mono, 44.100 KHZ
    H.264 320x568 (yes the ipad was used vertically, not horizontally)
    29.96 fps
    I want to edit them in premiere 12, but get this error message:
    This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed.
    What are my options? Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.
    As for orientation, there is a rotation feature in Premiere Elements 12....at the Timeline level, you can right click the clip and select Rotate 90 Left or Rotate  90 Right. So that may help.
    This is what you may want to try and see what this looks like
    1. Open Premiere Elements 12 to its Expert workspace
    2. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
    3. In the Change Settings dialog, change the project preset to NTSC DV Widescreen.
    4. Before you exit that area, in the last dialog that you see (new project dialog), make sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on this Project".
    5. Back in the Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ to bring your video into Project Assets from where you will drag it to Video Track 1. We can talk about edits if necessary.
    6. Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset set for NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
    7. Place your DVD 4.7 GB/120 min disc in the burner, in the burn dialog, have a check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space". Hit Burn.
    If you decide to take the Timeline to YouTube instead,
    Publish+Share/Social Websites/YouTube, using Presets = Flash Video for YouTube (Widescreen)
    Hit Next and follow the instructions.
    (Upload to YouTube from within Premiere Elements 12 has limits of 2 GB and 15 minutes. Anything exceeding that, you need to export to file saved to the computer hard drive and then upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site where you might be able to get extended limits.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the above information.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...If you want to "decorate" the black borders in the Timeline content, drag the video to Video Track 2 and put a colored background on Video Track 1 directly below the Video Track 2 content.

  • I'm not able to move files from my mac to my hard drive, but i can move files from my hard drive to my Mac.  Would really like to make more room on my mac-any suggestions to get these files onto the hard drive?

    When i plug my external hard drive into my mac i'm able to see all the files on it and move files off the hard drive to the mac, but not the other way around.  I need to make more room on my mac and would really like these files to be on this particular external hard drive.  Any help would be great!
    Thank you
    Kris

    Thank you all.  Sounds like i might as well buy a new (mac OS supported) external hard drive.  Not worth the hassle/risk of taking all the old files off my current external HD. 
    Really appreciate all your help!

  • .mov files from my mac won't play on windows

    I created a PowerPoint CD with many .mov movies which I saved as a PowerPoint show (.pps). This powerpoint program will play on Windows but the movies will not play.

  • I cannot open a .mov file from MAC on a PC

    I have a Mac Dual G5 with Mac Os X 10.4.8 and I was making a short HDV movie(only 4Giga) in FCExpress.
    I export the movie in H264 1920 X1080 in the QT Conversion window and save them in a .mov file (with blue QT label).
    After saving I can open and view the movie with the Mac, no problem.
    I make a copy on a DVD for mine friend.
    I will open the movie on his PC but it don't work.
    He had a Pentium Dual 840 3.2 Ghz Window XP Pro service pack 1 and 2, 2wDirectx9 2 giga Ram 256 nVidia Ge Force 6800
    On the PC we install also Quick Time Pro 7.1 for Windows with register number.
    When we activate the .mov file on the PC(.mov file from the Mac) we see the Quick Time window in black or white without image.
    We try many times but we cannot find a solution..
    To day we buy by the Apple Store QT MPEG 2-Playback Component for PC.
    After installation we have every time the same problem, no image in the QT windown.
    What can I do?
    Thanks for assistance

    Dear Sir
    I find a solution for the problem.
    What you say is correct, it is a codex problem.
    I download a other program Cineform Aspect HD.199 U$.
    Now I can open easy everyone .mov file on the PC(.mov files from the MAC).
    Mine conclusion: QuickTime Pro for Windows don’t support H264 codex,
    and don’t support any .mov file from the MAC !
    Apple make big publicity on their website for QT Pro 7 for Windowns.
    They say “QT Pro 7 for Windows support H264 codex”.
    I try many days with Apple Support team, they don’t find a solution.
    Good evening and thank you for assistance,
    Rudy

  • How do i transfer files from one mac to another?

    how do i transfer my files from one mac to another mac?

    I normally use an External Hard Drive or Flash Drive for moving files from both Mac's and PC's, but if you want to move from an old Mac to a new one see > How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

  • Can I transfer files from a Mac and PC that are both on my wireless LAN?

    I've a number of Macs connected to my Wirelesss LAN and also have a PC (Windows XP) that I want to connect to the network. That isn't going to be a problem but I want to know if I can then move files from the "Mac environment" onto the PC.
    If it's possible, how is it done?
    Regards,
    Cliff

    Yes. Just enable the file/folder sharing for each computer. They'll treat it as a network share. I did need to set the options for the Mac folders to use SMB for the PC to see it.

  • Move stickie file from one mac to another, move stickie file from one mac to another, How do I move stickie file from one mac to another

    How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?

    I think this is the file -
    In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
    Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version.

    It's likely that the drive is malfunctioning or that there is an internal hardware fault, but to confirm, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. transferred data from my old macbook over n it created another user name. that's actually good--xcept for music, which i want on my new acct. How do i move files from my "old comp" acct to my new one?

    i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

    That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

  • How do I move files from pc to mac?

    I want to move my mp3's on my pc to my new MB....the website has some info...but it says I need the IP address of the pc I'm trying to connect to....how do I get the IP address?....
    also...does dashboard never close?...

    Hi,
    Is this the Apple site that is saying that you need the computers website? I have never tried transfering files from a Mac to a PC over a network. Anyway, if you go on your PC to the start menu, click run. In that box type cmd and then press okay. I scary looking black box will come up, and in there type ipconfig. This will show you the current IP info for the computer.
    About Dashboard. I am assuming you mean that it never closes, like the finder, and always has the running arrow under it's dock icon. I'm not sure how to disable it in the startup. But it really doesn't use much RAM, so don't worry. Just be sure to close whatever widgets ar'nt being used, because they will use a lot of RAM.
    Hope this helps. Post back with any other questions.

    I want to transfer my photo and movie files from my iPhone to my Mac OS X (10.5.8).
    But I don't want to use Cloud or iTunes.
    Is there a way to connect my iPhone 4S to my Mac directly,
    say ... via a program or such on my MAC, to drag and drop the photos and Movie files,
    directly into a folder. ??????????
    Reason want to connect iPone to MAC or MAC to iPhone is ....
    I have no DATA on my iPhone Mobile plan at moment.
    So Photosync app is no good, as I can't download the app to my iPhone.
    I can download a Photosync to my MAC ...
    but with the Photosync app you can only send data.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
