Hi Ellen,
On the Apple website here there are software downloads...look under iPod and you will find one called MoviesForMyPod which i use to convert movie files from my Sony camera. It's free and works a treat.

Putting Digital Camera Videos onto Ipod?

Is this possible? And if so how do I do it? I was told I'd need to convert them, but I haven't the slightest clue how.
I'm using a Mac with a 160 Gig iPod classic

If it's a digital camcorder you are talking about, it will be a little more difficult to do what you want to do. But if you're just talking about a digital camera which has a video recording function in it, it should be a lot easier.
First you have to check the file format (file name extension), i.e. is it .avi , .mpg , or anything else. Assuming you may not be able to see it right on the file name iteself (because sometimes the extensions are hidden from view). If you can't see the extension, just ctrl-click the file which you imported from your camera to your mac, click "Get Info", you can either read the extension under "Name & Extension", or just read the file format (kind) under "General" where it says what "kind" of a file it is.
As far as I know, most DC's record .avi videos. You could either use Quick Time Pro (which costs a little of your money, or if you have Pro applications like Logic or Final Cut Studio, it is free). Even if the file is not AVI, you can still use Quick Time Pro for the conversion, as long as it's not .wmv (which you will need to buy a plug-in), or anything extremely peculiar. Open the video file with QT Pro, and go to File>Export, then choose Movie to iPod. And there's your converted video file which you can import into iTunes. (I'm not sure if a regular Quick Time Player, which is free and should already be on your mac, has the Export function as well, because I have the Pro for a long time and forget what the regular version is like).
The good thing about QT Pro is that you can do some simple editing to your video, i.e. cut, copy and paste a specified portion of the video. And these functions are pretty useful on the most basic level.
If you don't want to spend money on Quick Time Pro, or if the file format is something that QT Pro can't convert or even open, here's what you can do. Let say the file extension is .xyz, you can use Google, or whatever search engine you use, and search for "convert .xyz to iPod" or something like that. There are bound to be a few free software, or free trials, that you can download. Try those.
There. That's about everything you need to know for converting videos into iPod formats.

e question remains:

Belkin 'Digital Camera link for iPod'

I got a Belkin 'Digital Camera link for iPod' for $20. looked like a good bargain but dosen't work on my iPod.
Any idea if this belkin device supports 5G iPods. It was actually designed for the 3G iPods with photo.
I have a Sony DSC-S80 with PTP so dosen't look like the problem is with my camera.
Windows XP Pro

I don’t see why it wouldn’t but it says it is for 3G iPod and you said it doesn’t work.
Any idea if this belkin device supports 5G iPods
No, it does not support the 5G, based upon it does not work and it is not designed for the 5G.

Sound with mgp digital camera video clips

I cannot get the sound onto my ipod, the Video clips from my digital camera are fine and play fine, but no sound

Hi bj1,
First off, are these video clips in a compatible format for your iPod? They will have to be in either one of these formats:
M4V, MP4, or MOV
If it is in one of those formats, then let's proceed onto resetting your iPod. To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure that you leave it on the white side of the switch, which is "Off")
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to try this several times before it ever ends up working for you.
For more effect when you reset an iPod, you could try connecting your iPod to a power source, like a wall charger or your computer's USB, while you reset the iPod.
If resetting doesn't seem to do anything, then I would suggest that you try reconverting these video files using a third-party program.
For example, you could use MPEG Streamclip, which I have heard is good, and not buggy software.
After you've converted those video files, delete the old ones off your iPod, and reload the video clips (the newly converted ones) onto your iPod again.
Does it work now after trying that?

Syncing digital camera movies to Ipod Touch

Hi all,
Recently got an Ipod touch and love it. In order to sync movies to the touch, the movies have to be in the movies folder in the home folder on one's computer. However, the touch doesn't recognize the movie format from my digital camera. Does anyone have any advice on how to change the format so that the Ipod can sync the video clips?
Gary

Will Quick time pro or Imovie save as M4v. Does anyone have experience with this?
Yes, but...
...there are CODECs used in some video files that aren't supported by QuickTime (or QuickTime Pro).
I personally prefer VisualHub. The other evening I was attempting to reduce the image size of a 2 hr mpg-4 file I had to iPod size with QuickTime Pro - the time to completion estimate kept going up and when it reached 18 hours I quit QuickTime Pro. VisualHub did the conversion in 38 minutes.

How to transfer camara roll videos between ipods for working on iMovie?

I would like to share homemade videos between 6 ipods. We are using them for a school project. I have already tried using Itunes, dropbox... and it doesn't work.
I know how to copy videos to my computer and I also know how to add them using iTunes.
The point is that I need to share videos between ipods, and be able to work on iMovie using those videos. For example, I´m working on a project using 6 different iPod. When we are finish recording the videos, we want to transfer all of them to one Device. Is that possible? How?
Thank you,

I came across this solution: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A
Is there any way to do it?

Digital camera video importing as photos :(

I lost my daughter 's hula recital I filmed on a panasonic digital camera. I lost the cable to import the photos and avi video, so I transfered the SD card to a canon powershot to import into iphoto. Doing this caused the video to be imported as a jpg. Why? I've shot video with the canon. Now instead of footage, I have stills. Is there anyway to see if the video information is retrievable? I deleted all off the SD card not knowing this bogus transfer happened.

Info shows that all photos are jpeg. I double click and see a photo with out the opportunity to play/pause.
I did a test here are home:
1. Recorded 10 minutes of video in the panasonic digital camera
1a. Viewed the video in the camera and it is indeed video
2. Moved the card to the Canon camera (because I have the cable to import with that camera; lost cable for panasonic)
Imported "video" into iphoto
3. Viewed in iphoto
4. Image is a jpeg still not avi video
Good advice not to delete the images on the card from iphoto, but I had success for years.
Thx.

Importing digital camera video to iPhoto

I have a Canon DiMAGE X50 digital camera I dearly love. It works very well with my iMac 10.4.4.
However, iPhoto won't accept any video I've recorded that's longer than maybe 60 seconds.
I can record up to 30 minutes on my Canon. I've got a great 3 minute clip of the Seahawks NFC championship game that won't transfer to iPhoto.
Is there some extra trick I need to do?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Arniviking,
the trick is to use Image Capture.
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Transfering digital camera video onto the ipad

how do i get videos on taken with my digital camera to upload on to my ipad

Launch iMovie with your digital camera connected - assuming the video captured by the camera remains on the camera. At the iMovie menu bar, go to File and select Import From Camera. Or go to Import > Movies followed by navigating to the movie file already imported by your Mac.
You can make adjustments to the video with iMovie. With the "Project" selected, at the iMovie menu bar go to Share and select iTunes. You will be provided various size options. You will select Medium or Large - the largest size available to be Apple TV compatible. Or you can use the Export Movie option with various options available for the export. Choose the largest for Apple TV. After the export is completed, import or transfer the exported file to iTunes.

Front Row Photos won't play digital camera videos

Hi,
Firstly, I'm pretty new to Macs but have been finding my feet with most of my new toy's functionality. I've encountered one problem that I can't seem to find an answer to and was hoping someone here would be able to help.
I've used iPhoto to import all of my old photos/videos from my digital camera and have arranged these into a mixture of events and smart-folders. When viewing these via the Photos menu in Front Row, the automatic slideshows play back all my photos just fine, but any videos that were taken at the same time are just shown as a black screen. When I say videos, I mean little video clips that were taken using the digital-camera (640x480 and 30fps).
A few other bits of info that may help with this;
- The videos play fine in iPhoto.
- The black screen appears for the same duration that photos are shown, rather than the length of the video.
- I created a Movies smart-folder, if I hover the selection over this item within Front Row, I'm shown a slideshow of the initial frame of the videos contained within.
- The camera is a Canon Powershot A700 which stores videos as AVIs using the MJPEG format.
Am I trying to do something silly? Should the Photos section of Front Row not be used for video playback? Its a shame if that is the case, as they're memories of that event.
However, the fact that Front Row shows the black screen where the video should be gives me the impression that it is attempting to play it. Otherwise I would expect it to ignore all non-image file formats.
Any help with this would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi,
With a bit of additional searching I seem to have found an answer to my question. Unfortunately it's not the answer I wanted and this seems to be a known issue. The post I found that describes this is here;

I'll be raising it in the feedback form.

Invalid public movie atom with digital camera videos?

I've shot videos with my digital camera, uploaded through iPhoto and edited on iMovie HD before
but a couple weeks ago I have not been able to upload on IPhoto:
Open on Quicktime:
Or edit on iMovie HD:
My least concern right now is being able to watch these videos because I can view them on the VLC player.
I urgently need to edit them on iMovie HD for class projects and want to know why this "Invalid public movie atom" came out from nowhere.
Can it be fixed? I am desperate for help with some videos I shot today in class because I need to edit them for Tuesday
Thank you!

I'm afraid I can't be of much help, except to tell you what the error means...
It means that at a very low level, something is messed up in your movie.
A QuickTime movie is made up of a heirarchy of containers, called "atoms". Atoms come in two varieties: atoms may contain other atoms, or they may contain data. The first four bytes of the atom give tthe length of the atom in bytes, the next four give the name of the atom, and the rest of the bytes are the data carried by that atom: either raw data or more atoms. The error is telling you that the structure of the movie is wrong, that the actual file does not match its description.
If you are truly lucky, then the problem is an invalid length specification for the top level "moov" atom. Normally, the first four bytes of a QuickTime movie give the length of the moov atom, which is equal to the total length of the file. Try making a copy of the movie and opening the copy with a hex editor. If the first four bytes are not the same as the length of the file, try fixing them and see if that repairs the movie. If not, then the problem is deeper and/or more complicated.
WARNING: Perform surgery ONLY on COPIES of your movies!

Using high quailty digital camera video?

Hi everyone.
I just got a new digital camera, the Casio EX-S500 and it is a really great camera. The one thing that I am amazed at is how great the video is! I can't tell the difference between a a video camera's footage and my digital cameras footage. When I first got the camera, I had to download a little plug-in thing for Quicktime so that it would play the movie files. I did that... no problems. But when I import the videos into Final Cut Express HD, (the video files are AVI by the way), it will play fine in the Viewer, but when I put it on my timeline, it plays in the canvas the way it did before I got the plug in (A mostly black screen. You can't really make out anything thats happening in the video.) Any suggestions of how I will be able to edit with this?
Thanks a lot.
-Dean

The box of the camera does say that it uses MPEG-4 video, but look at the get info screenshot of one of the files: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y88/bballerdean/avi.jpg
I understand the whole process of getting MPEG video into Final Cut Express. I have MPEG Streamclip and use it all the time. The problem isn't the audio. It's the image. The audio is fine. Final Cut Express does not use the plug-in that I downloaded for Quicktime.
Here's what I'm talking about.
