If you are using a Sony MPEG-2/AC3 camcorder, then make sure QT v7.6.3 is installed in your "Applications/Utilities" folder. If it isn't, then install it from your Snow Leopard installation "Extras" installer package and then re-install your QT MPEG-2 Playback Component as per the MPEG Streamclip installation/Snow Leopard instructions.

  • I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

    I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1.  Does Sony offer a plug in?

    I shoot fishing footage of big catches.  Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i.  It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab.  Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames.  Thank you again for your reply. 

  • DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

    When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

    Go this this thread for more details:

    But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

  • AP3 does not recognise movie files from Sony HD camcorder

    I tried to import footage from a new Sony HDD camcorder, Aperture uploaded the stills ok but couldn't upload the movies with an error message saying 'Unknow File Format'.
    However iPhoto uploaded the movies no problem. The file format is .MPG
    If anyone can offer any advice on what I need to change to upload MPG format that would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you sure the format is .MPG -- Sony HD camcorders are typically outputting AVCHD files, which Aperture does not read? Nevertheless, not sure if .MPG is supported either.
    f you open Aperture Help and search on Video, you find the following:
    File Formats You Can Import into the Library
    Aperture supports most image, audio, and video file formats captured by digital cameras. An example of the file types and formats that can be imported into your Aperture library are:
    • GIF
    • JPEG
    • JPEG2000
    • PNG
    • PSD (8- and 16-bit)
    • TIFF (8- and 16-bit)
    • BMP
    • DNG
    • RAW files from a variety of supported digital cameras
    • AIF
    • WAV
    • MOV

  • Lightroom 4.4 will not recognise ARW files from Sony RX10

    I have tried reinstalling LR - still doesn't work. It says all products uptodate as well. Any ideas?
    My Mac can read the files fine and displays them correctly in iPhoto

    The Sony RX10 is not yet supported in Lightroom.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    It will never be supported in Lightroom 4. Adobe never retrospectively adds support to superseded software.
    It'll probably be supported in the next version of Lightroom, say 5.4 due sometime in the next couple of months.

  • After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

    I may have found an answer here:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
    They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

  • Importing video from Sony Camcorder DCR-SR87 to IMovie

    I have a sony camcorder DCR-SR87 and a MacBook running the latest operating system and and IMovie 11.   According to the Apple techincal people the new operating system will not read the format from my camcorder so I can't import my video.  Has anyone found a work around for this problem?

    I am not sure why this camera will not work. If Apple Support is telling you that they can't make it work, then I'll take your word for it.
    There is still a way that might work for you.
    First, get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. This is a free App for your Mac.
    Drag one of the MPEG2 files from the camera (thorugh the Finder) into MPEG Streamclip.
    Try FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as the codec.
    You can import the Apple Intermediate Codec MOV files into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE.
    If this works, there is a way do to app your clips in batch.
    MPEG Streamclip may tell you that you need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. This component is from Apple and costs $20 to download. Follow the instructions on the MPEG Streamclip website for how to install this component. Apple will tell you that you do not need this component for Lion, but MPEG Streamclip may still need it.
    Then try to do the conversion again.
    Let me know if any of this is not clear.

  • S. can't play mpg files

    Hi,
    Safari can't play mpg files any more. (I have to download them and play them with QT Player.) Instead, there is a vertical black stripe with little white dots in it.
    Any idea would be much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    Peter

    Don't trash the original Quicktime (10) app, you'll be sorry if you do. Quicktime 7 Pro does not add playback capability to videos. Right click on a video and pick Quicktime Pro 7 from the open with menu.
    If you wish to use Quicktime Pro 7 to playback all videos when clicking on a video, get info in the finder for the video... scroll to open with... pick the open with drop down menu... pick Quicktime 7.... and hit the change all button.
    If your still having problems playing  back your videos please post back. We need to find out what kind of mpg video files you have...

  • Transferring HD movie files from Sony HDR-SR7 to Macintosh computer

    I am contemplating buying a Sony High Definition Camcorder Model HDR-SR7. That model has a built in 60 GB hard drive on the camcorder. I would like to transfer the HD movie files to my PowerBook G4. I am told that a USB cable is available with a dock for the HDR-SR7 camcorder. My question is whether that USB transfer option is compatible with the MAC OS. Specifically will I be able to transfer the movie files from the camcorder to my PB G4 internal hard disk? I am not necessarily interested in editing the movie files---just want to transfer. If the USB option does not work are there any other options that will allow me to transfer the movie files ?

    Elliot: I know you say you don't want to edit, but this thread could be interesting for you:

  • Trying to import mini dv clip from Sony camcorder - how???

    Trying to import mini dv clip from Sony camcorder (which I could do on my v.old copy of Premiere Elements - lost somewhere in the loft!) just discovered that this is no longer supported on v.13!!!  Trying to find a work-around but the one explained isn't clear - please could you email an 'idiots guide' step-by-step how to import DV into v.13

    The Adobe document for workarounds for DV or HDV data capture firewire in Premiere Elements 13/13.1 is found

  • Itunes 10.7 not playing MIDI files

    ITunes 10.7 is not playing midi files (.mid).  I often play MIDI files and convert them to MP3 files using iTunes. Has Apple stopped supporting playing and converting MIDI files in iTunes? 
    When I try to open a MIDI file in Quicktime 10.2, it also does not play MIDI files. I do get a message that Quicktime 7 is required to play midi files.
    I sure hope this is changed in future updates of  iTiunes and Quicktime.
    Tom R.

    I don't think this is the complete picture...  I have tried importing midi files into iTunes 10.7 on three different computers, and it worked on one, not the other two.  The differentiating factor? Seems to be the operating system:  it worked on the one with Snow Leopard but not on the ones with Mountain Lion.  I don't have a computer with Lion to test on, unfortunately.  This might be an actual bug, or temporary omission, from the build for Mountain Lion.  Worth filing a bug report, anyway - since it's free and the more people report it the higher priority we might hope it gets?  http://bugreport.apple.com/

  • Quicktime Wont Play MPG Files

    Hi,
    Just bought my first Mac - loving it. Only issue I have so far is that I have a load of video camera clips with an .mpg extension, which I copied onto an external drive when I had my PC. Now when I come to play these files, it comes up with "The movie xxxxxx.mpg can't be opened. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    Wherever I look, it says Quicktime will play .mpg files, so I can't understand why they wont work. All the photo's on the same drive have gone into iPhoto no problem. When I go onto "tell me more" it starts going on about downloading additional media support. Not sure if I'm missing something simple!
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Darran.

    Yea...I did this when I got my Mac for Christmas 2009. I can watch the videos no problem...WITHOUT SOUND! If I use VLC everything works right, but I want to be able to burn the videos to DVD to watch somewhere else too. I bought a Mac because this was supposed to be easier...NOT!
    Thinking of going back to a PC. At least everyone knows they have issues.

  • Need help playing .mpg files

    Just recently my computer has stopped playing .mpg files with sound, all I get is the video. iTunes, Quicktime and the Internet all will not play them with sound. Youtube.com does play movie files with sound so I'm assuming they aren't .mpg files.
    This problem just started happening recently and I have no idea what I did. .Mov files do play with sound.
    Thanks for any help.

    The following steps solved my problem similar to yours.
    1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
    2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
    3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
    For more detail, read this article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
    My output setting looked like 44100.0 Hz when I first opened Audio MIDI Setup. I changed it to 96000.0 Hz first and changed it back to 44100.0 Hz just to make sure the setting will be in effect. It worked.
