Toast 9 converted .m2ts files not available in IMovie 08

Help because I give up. I have several .m2ts video files on my hard drive shot from a Sony HDR-SR1. I purchased Toast 9 with the HD plug in and converted the files to .mov. IMovie 08 will not recognize them (the files show up grayed out for import). What am I doing wrong?
By the way, the same procedure using Voltaic worked BUT Voltaic takes forever !!
Will I have better luck with FCE 4?

Votaic will produce video using AIC compression which is acceptable to imovie.
Unfortunately .mov is a container type and doesn't tell us anything about the compression used on the video and audio inside it, there are a number of applications (including QT) that will tell you the compression used, I suspect it may be the wrong type though.
FCE may or mat not accept your converted files, without details of the compression used though it is impossible to say.

"Preview for Files Not Available" & "Failed to Find a Place for the Imported File"??

When I export RAW images into LR, some say "Preview for Files Not Available". Also, it says "Failed to Find a Place for the Imported File". Why? What can I do to resolve this

Hi,
Tried with this but still the same issue..
Stop the application services, recompile the JSP files manually, and start the application services. Check the login page then.
Note: 435550.1 - R12 Login issue on target after cloning , fresh install or upgrade

Any other area to look into?
Thanks for your time!

Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available

Friends:
I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
Adobe's own published notice:
"The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
I must mention in this context my own (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
"It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
Can anyone help, please ?
Thanks,
Pradip A.

Hello Mr. Wright:
The download now works. Appreciate your help.
The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.
Regards,
Pradip Acharya

Converting .m2t files to .mov

How can I convert .m2t files to .mov without loosing any quality?

Or this one, just down the page here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2044298&tstart=0

I have converted m2ts files to .mov to edit in FCE (4.0.1) When I drag the clips into the timeline they need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 sec. clip. Is this normal? I am using OS 10 . My easy setup is apple intermediate codec, 720p30. Any help

I have converted m2ts files to .mov in streamclip, for editing in fce 4.0.1. When I drag them into the fce timeline the clips need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 second clip. Is this normal? My OS is 10.6.8. My easy setup in fce is apple intermediate codec 720p30. Any advice to avoid the rendereng would be helpful. Ann

To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

Converting wmv files for use in imovie 9 for users who have pc

To convert wmv files use your pc windows movie maker. (if you have one) On your pc, open windows movie maker, get collections and get your wmv project/video, drag it into the timeline, and then save in your computer, save it as an avi file and rename it. After send file to your memory card reader, that way you can transfer that file onto your mac!! And voila! I tried to email it but file became too large so transfering it to a memory card is the easiest. This took me days to figure out, I hope I have helped someone out there.....

I don't want to use DV because these .m2t files are from an HDV camcorder and I want to preserve the aspect ratio and resolution in the files. What other "flavor" of HD would you suggest that I convert them to since (a) I can't bring the files into FCP6 or Compressor (b) I don't see any other flavors of HD to use in VisualHub.
The whole business of converting .m2t files to a FCP6 compatible format, i.e. a Quicktime format, would seem to be one that is commonly encountered, and yet I have never found a thread on this forum that really answers this question: What is the best workflow for converting .m2t files for use in FCP? Surely, one of the pros who frequent this forum must have dealt with this issue and have an answer.
I don't want to have to recapture the files from tape all over again just to use them in FCP6.

Convert mod files to mov for imovie

A helpful person on the forum suggested I use mod converter to convert mod files to mov for imovie. I have purchased the program from the internet but am having trouble getting them to respond with registration number so as I can get started. Has anyone had this problem or do you know the telephone number for emisoft which is who I purchased it from.

wuppet, it is unfortunate that this method did not work for you... I have tested this method my self with iMovie 08 & 09 with JVC .mod files.
I can really only suggest a few things:
1. Make sure that you are changing the .mod extension to .mpg, as I am sure that you did.
2. Attempt to get the originals from the camera, if they're still on the camera. I know that you say that they're the wrong format but iMovie 08 and 08 both support the .mod files found in JVC hybrid cameras. But make sure that iMovie is opened and running before you attach the camera to the Mac. Also make sure that the camera is set to "playback on PC" once you plug it in.
3. You can download the free VLC app, this will allow you to view the movies to verify that they're not corrupt somehow. You'll be required to change the extension to .mpg or .mpeg for this app to read the movies.

Can I convert mp4 file to use in iMovie without buying software

can I convert mp4 file to use in iMovie without buying software

Niel wrote:
Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to DV.
.. only if the mp4 contains SDef content.
mp4 is a container, no 'format'.
could contain HDef too (Streamclip should convert to QT/AppleInterediateCodec)
could be imported to iM without conversion
could be handled instantly with usage of perian.org plug-in
could not be handled on MacOs anyhow ...
.. depends on, what's inside the mp4 ............

How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

VC-1 codec not supported? Advice on converting m2ts file to supported format

I think maybe Premiere Pro does not support VC-1 encoding. True? False?
There is a favorite old film of mine I wanted to 'fix' by adding the original soundtrack (the remix is horrible) plus the original ending (removed for all Western versions).
Unfortunately the m2ts file crashes Premiere Pro every time I try to import it.
I've been looking at solutions to convert the video to something useable, but so far no luck. It's a 1080p/24 m2ts and obviously I want to keep the quality as is and not degrade it.
Anyway, I thought someone here might have the answer.
I have Adobe CS5 Production Premium and I am on a PC.
I do have DVDfab on my system, if that can be used to convert/transcode. I've no idea.

If you're creating a DVD, there's really no choice of codecs, since DVD video is a very specific and tightly constrained form of MPEG-2 video. MPEG-2 video is highly compressed and is not a high-definition format, so it is absolutely unavoidable that export to DVD video will cause some quality loss. This is true for even professionally created DVDs. There is an MPEG-2 DVD export preset in After Effects that you can choose from the Format menu in the Output Module Settings dialog box.
If, however, you're handing off your video as input to a larger work, and you need to create an intermediate file that preserves all detail for as long as possible in the post-production pipeline, then you should render and export using lossless encoding. My preference for creating losslessly compressed intermediate files from 8-bit-per-channel sources is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime (MOV) container.
See this FAQ entry (and the pages that it links to) for more information about compression and choosing settings for specific purposes:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/729526
You mentioned "jerky" output. See this FAQ entry for information about losslessly encoded movies and how they are not suited for playback:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684381
Or perhaps the jerkiness is coming from the frame-rate mismatch between your 30fps source and 25fps composition. If so, then frame blending can help.

Converting .m2ts files into FCE

I have been sent some video files, that when I unzipped them, they turned into .m2ts files. FCE does not read them. How do I convert them so they can be used In FCE?

Dynamic Converter problem - Preview not available

Hi All,
I have a problem with Dynamic Converter.
After choosing to edit a particular template and then trying to preview a certain content item, a message is passed saying "Preview is not available". The strange thing is that we are running two different environments where the function is working fine on the other one.
Any suggestions regarding this?
Note: We are running 10gR3 with Dynamic Converter 8.1.0.754
thanks in advance!

The obvious question is: are you sure you're previewing a content item that's "convertible" and also exists?
The template editor only remembers the last content ID you picked. So if you pick item A for environment X and then B for environment Z, the editor will always load up B the next time you open up the editor. So if you edit the template in X again, and B doesn't exist in X, you'll get that error.
Don't know if your problem is as simple as that though. We're running DC 8.1.0.735 and don't get any preview errors outside of the scenarios I listed above.
Good luck.

Saying on itunes file not available....and not syncing...

not syncing saying file not recognised?

The song file is not available? That usually means iTunes is no longer able to find the song's file, where it was previously located. The song may still be in the iTunes library, but the link to its song file is no longer valid.
For the song that has this error, are you still able to play it in iTunes? If you happen to subscribe to iTunes Match, the songs that are synced to the iPod need to have their files located on the computer's local drive (not in iCloud only).
