Saving .mov Files from Broadcaster.

I'm using an HDV Sony camcorder set to import and record in DV mode for live streaming video in Broadcaster. Broadcaster saves an .mov file of its stream to the computer, BUT the quality of the file is very poor.
I've been trying to import the live video into iMovie while simultaneously streaming it, but I can't use both iMovie and Broadcaster at the same time. I've also tried the same thing with Quicktime Pro, but no luck there either.
This is for a project at work and we HAVE to stream our events live, but we also need high quality recordings of the events to edit and burn to DVD for a cable broadcast.
I know that we can just record the program to the tape in the camcorder, but we haven't been able to find a tape that lasts over 60 minutes, and we'll need that for our programs just in case they run a little long.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've check all the Broadcaster help sections, but Broadcaster doesn't give you a lot of option or helpful tips.

Are you using H264 or native? Frankly a MBP hasn't the nads to compress high quality video fast enough. In Broadcaster I am lucky to get 15 fps for H264 and thus I only use it on a mac Pro.
Use tape , if you have to , two cameras.

  • Cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else

    Help -- I cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else
    I don't know when this started but it was two days ago I noticed this. I have changed all the permissions in info to allow me to have read write access to all my hardrives(2) which are both segmented. May have started when I put in the second HD and now I have three systems installed.
    I did erase the com.apple.recentitems.plist -- which did not do anything.
    I was able to send a copy of the file from my CD via iCHat with no problem.
    Originally it would not allow me to move any files even on the harddrives. Not it seem related to the CD's

    this was related to Leopard refusing to give me administrative rights

  • Exported MOV file from Express - what do I compress it as for media???

    I exported a MOV file from Final Cut Express. Looks great. Now I need to send it to broadcast - CNN, NBC, etc.
    What format should I compress it with Sorenson Squeeze 6? I've tried different presets but want to know what's the best one to use. Please help. Need responses ASAP.

    I'm sorry, I meant to write you have to ask the broadcasters what they want. They can have a lot of very different demands.
    This is also very dependent of what your material is. Fine, you exported to QuickTime Movie, but what did you export. HD? SD? What specification? If you don't know, open the file in the QT player and report exactly what it says in the movie inspector.
    You can put anything on a big enough FTP server provided you have the time and a wide enough pipe. It's probably going to be a really big file or files so you'd better have a really fast connection and/or a lot of time. Sometimes FedExing a drive is faster.

  • 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

  • Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

    I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
    Any ideas??!! Thanks.

    .. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
    lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
    .. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
    dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
    iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
    my 5€ cents ..

  • After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow?  Thank you, Filippo

    On IMac 10.9  After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now?  Anyone know?  Thanks, Filippo

    I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
    I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
    Thanks

  • Can't move files from one volume to another

    Using the 1.2 client on SLED, I don't appear to be able to move files from
    one volume to another. I have two drive "mappings", each to a
    different volume on a NW65SP5 box, but when I try and cut and paste files
    I get an error saying "Not on the same file system". However if I drop to
    a terminal and just use mv, that works.
    Is this a known issue?

    Hmm, yep get the smae problem when trying to move files.
    Copy works just great though.
    I know there are some issues in Gnome/Nautilus that's being worked upon.
    These are outlined in the Readme. For example it's not possible to copy a
    folder from Server A to Server B, then delete the folder form Server A.
    Finally later on copy the folder back to Server A from Server B.
    Also Gnome is leaking file handles, which could be the cause for the
    problem we're getting here.
    I'll ask my contact at Novell about this and have him enter it in as a bug
    if it's not a known issue.
    For a workaround you already have a good alternative of using mv in a
    terminal.

  • Can I move files from one caralog to another?

    Can I move files from one caralog to another?

    No. you cannot.
    This, among many other reasons, is why multiple catalogs are not recommended.
    (You could import the photo into another catalog, and delete from the first catalog ... and without first using the command File->Write Tags, you will lose your tags, captions and other metdata; version sets, stacks, album/collection membership are lost in any case)

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf
    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.
