Since I can't use MPEG format in iMovie, what format can I convert it to?

What format is compatible with iMovie and takes up about the same amount of space as an MPEG file does?

Mpegs seem to work in my iMovie. What do you mean they don't work. Is it encoded in a codec that iMovie doesn't understand?

    -removed the utilities package target since it's not used any longer - at least what is contained in this target.  I believe this was a leftover from flex 2 days.
    -fix up the packaging targets to ensure they are being properly built.  I removed depends="temp-clean" and inserted antcall target="temp-clean" because a target gets executed only once, even when more than one target depends on it.

  • Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format.  I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn., Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format.  I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn.

    Since I updated my itunes I can no longer burn a playlist to disc using MP3 format.  I clicked on converting the songs to mp3 format but they still won't burn to disc.  The computer says it is checking media and then stops.

    same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were  NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
    But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
    WHats going on? Thanks

  • What kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

    what kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

    Hello,
    Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
    As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
    Hope that helps

  • Using MPEG-4 as the native iMovie editing format

    Why does video quality degrade so horribly when using MPEG-4 as the native format instead of DV? When I import a video, it looks horribly grainy and pixelated. If I do the same thing with native DV type, it doesn't. I'm trying to avoid creating HUGE intermediate DV files when my final output format is going to be MPEG-4 anyway.
    I found that if I convert my video to mpeg4 outside of iMovie (using Quicktime or whatever) and than manually place it in my media folder, then iTunes will use the high quality mpeg4 file and allow me to edit as normal, producing acceptable quality results. It just seems to be incapable of doing a high quality import. Technically my way works, but it is very much a hack to get around what seems like an arbitrary limitation of iMovie.
    I hope I'm just missing something obvious. Can someone tell me a more straightforward way to do this?
    Thanks.

    any mpeg format (1,2,4, divx, h263, h264...) isn't meant for editing... it is a playback format, therefore it doesn't store every frame but just the differences..
    importing mpeg4/mpeg2 has to be converted, iMHD does so into Apple Intermediate Codec... lots of computation... the computer has to "estimate" the content of every frame... another word is: lossy compression, lossy de-compression...
    you can't keep the cake AND eat it.. edit video=investment, in soft- and hardware...
    iMovie is meant to work with firewire-connected mini-dv camcorders

  • Can you transfer data from one numbers spreadsheet to another using conditional formatting?

    I have a tracker document set up for client payments and when I indicate payment received, it  flags green using conditional formatting. However I would like these to automatically transfer to another sheet - without having to cut and paste the associated data to the other sheet. Can I set up conditional formatting to do this? If not how could I get and automatic transfer?
    thanks forum.

    Hi Kangers,
    There are a number of ways to transfer data from one table to the next. It should not be hard to set up.
    Conditional formatting would not be involved it moving the data but you could set it up to flag the data in the new table.
    Without knowing what your tables and data look like it is hard to propose a solution.

  • How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
    Available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

  • Can i use exfat format for my external western digital harddrive so that i can use in both windows and mac?

    can i use exfat format for my external western digital harddrive so that i can use in both windows and mac?
    thanks in advance.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Yes you can. OS X version 10.6.6 and later can read/write exFAT. Windows XP SP3 and later can read/write exFAT. As posted by Radiation Mac, you can do it from Windows or from OS X.
    However, I've noticed Windows to be somewhat picky about drives formatted on a Mac. So, if Windows can't read it, try formatting it on the Windows machine, and see how it works on the Mac.

  • ITunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide

    iTunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide from cloud - the files that do not upload show grayed out on my other devices.

    Have you confirmed that you successfull purged iTunes Match by also looking on an iOS device?  If so, keep in mind that Apple's servers may be experiencing a heavy load right now.  They just added about 19 countries to the service and I've read a few accounts this morning that suggests all's not running perfectly right now.

    Hello Everyone,
              I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
    Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
    1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Regards
    Mithun

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

  • Why can't I use the landscape feature for iPhone 5? It only works in limited apps. I feel as though I wasted my money since I prefer to use my phone in landscape mode.

    Why can't I use the landscape feature in all of the apps? It seems like a waste of money since I prefer to use the landscape feature.

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

  • ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

  • PDF files shown as' damaged or used a format preview can't recognize' once I save them to a thumbdrive

    Hi,
    I'm using a Macbook Pro system version 10.10.2.All PDF files (actually regardless of the format) are shown as' damaged or used a format preview can't recognize' once I copy them to a thumb-drive from the Mac. The file names end correctly as .pdf. I am sure that the thumb drive was in a good condition before I used it on the Mac and I tried two other new thumb drives but the problem persisted. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? Thanks a lot!!

    Please repartition and format the flash drive for a Mac. It's likely formatted for a PC.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
