Trying to email MVI-AVI file recorded on Canon Digital Still+Motion Camera

Have taken a burst of video motion with sound using my Canon digital camera and want to send it via email so it can be opened and enjoyed
Tried bringing it into iMovie where I chose compression for email
Then I chose compression for Quick time BUT when going back to Entourage where I try to attach the file it says I need to buy Stuffit software first.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Use YouSendIt to send all huge files through email.
If the other party has high speed internet service & AIM use either AIM or iChat to send the file.

I am trying to email a jpg file with exif data but it dissappears from the file when the recipient opens it.

I am trying to email a jpg file so the recipient can read the exif data to confirm the number of shutter actuations the camera has made. On opening it there is no detailed exif data. I have replicated this myself by emailing it to myself and also tried using a gmail account (through Mail).
Normally to see the exif data I open the jpg or RAW in Preview and open the Inspector which shows camera and lens exif data.
I am using a iMac with Lion and the recipient has a MBP with Snow Leopard
Any suggestions please.

How are you attaching the image to your mail document? There is a bug with iPhoto -> Mail that will cause a loss of EXIF data. It works fine when attaching from a file.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

Trying to move avi files from iPad - already deleted from my camera so not saved anywhere else

HI
i stupidly imported movies from my camera directly onto my iPad and then deleted them from my camera. So now the AVI files are on my iPad but I can't view them on the device. And all of the apps I tried seem to use itunes to "locate" the files. This is not an option as I imported them straight to the iPad. iPad wont let me email these files to anywhere as I guess they are just not recognised. Can't access them via iCloud etc. Is there any way I can move these files from my iPad to a usable source?
thanks

They're probably also too big to e-mail. Video files are normally huge and e-mails often have a 10-25 meg per message limit. I have a 3 minute video that's 300 megs.
Have you looked to something like dropbox? Upload them there, download them to your computer? You'll need the dropbox app but it should work.
Also, do you have a PC? have you tried using windows explorer? If the videos are in your camera roll (not sure if they will be since you imported them) all you need to do is plug your iPad into a PC, ignore the open iTunes part and use 'my computer' and windows explorer to gain access to your iPad. Go to 'my computer' see if you can see your ipad, double cllick on it, you'll see a DCIM folder. Inside that will be a myriad of folders created by the iPad. My suggestion would be to just drag everything over then go through it and see if your AVI's are in there.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

Loads are having this issue - I posted on this thread and I still don't think there is a single solution.
There are a number of work arounds listed you can try on there.
Most seem to be resigned to another update

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later

Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

No audio when files (recorded off of digital camera) were copied to iMovie

I attempted to import video clips taken with my sure shot digital camera to iMovie. The video transfered just fine but there is no audio.
I then uploaded all the video clips from the camera to iPhoto and when I opened those files thru iPhoto, quicktime plays the videos perfectly with audio.
What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do so that these video files play audio when in iMovie?

Hello 112969nole,
the clips from your digital camera are likely to be in a muxed MPEG format. In order to edit them with iMovie you'll need to convert them to DV format.
Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:

RAW files from my Canon 7D Mark II camera do not show thumbnails when stored on my iMac computer even though I have Photoshop CC 14.2 and Camera RAW 8.7

How do i resolve this problem? TIFF files show the thumbnails just fine, just not the RAW files. My old Canon 7D was fine with RAW files showing thumbnails also.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
They show here in photoshop 14.2.1 in the open dialog as well as in finder on mac os x 10.10
I believe the operating system provides the thumbnails and not photoshop.

Opening a RAW (CS2) file from a Canon EOS 6D into Camera Raw 6.7.1

I bought a Canon 6D last summer and recently decided to shoot in RAW (.CS2). My previous camera was a Canon Rebel t1i, and RAW files from that camera worked without a hitch. When I try to open raw files from the 6D, I get a notice that I need an update. So I downloaded and installed the update for Camera Raw, and also downloaded and installed the associated DNG converter. No luck! Is there someone who can point me in the right direction here?

What operating system and version of photoshop are you using?
If it's photoshop cs5, then you can use the 8.2 DNG Converter to convert your canon 6D files to dng copies which photoshop should then open.
(photoshop cs5 can only use up to camera raw 6.7.1, but the canon 6D needs at least camera raw 7.3)

Trying to Import AVI file to iMovie - Error -8969

Like some others before me, I too am having trouble importing .avi files to my iMovie version 4. Acccording to Command i, they are Motion JPEG OpenDML (they are .avi files from a Canon digital camera). They are viewable in QT. Several posts suggest they should import easily into iMovie. However, when I try to import, I get an error message (failed -8969). I tried converting the .avi file, with QT Pro, to both .mov and DV stream. It will convert to .mov, but when I try to import to iMovie, I get the same error message. I don't even get that far with DV: when I try to convert to DV stream, I get the same error message immediately. Any suggestions? Are there any plug-ins that would fix the problem?

"codecBadDataErr = -8969"
"Codec : acronym for "compression/deccompression" , is an algorithm, or specialized computer program, that reduces the number of bytes consumed by large files and programs."
Used for video files, AVI, QuickTime and otherwise.
Conclusion: You got a bad file.
Come to think of it. I seem to remember a driver (or codec) that can be downloaded from Canon. Don't know any details, though.
PS. Please don't post your question twice.

Error -36 when trying to copy AVI files from External Drive to Mac

Hi
Hoping for some help with a problem I appreciate others have faced.
I bought a new video camera recently and have just tried to copy the AVI files from the first few videos to my mac but am getting the error code 36 that states the files cannot be read or written.
The format of the camera is MS-DOS (FAT 32) but when I tried changing it to MAC OS Extended it did something to the camera so the mac could then not recognise it when I tried to re-connect it via the USB port.
I've been able to copy the files onto my friends Windows laptop no problem so don't believe them to be corrupt.
Have also tried the dot_clean fix but this didn't work.
Could there be another reason for the error? Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Bummer. I'm not really doing this for speed though, just for total storage volume and constant, worry-free, no-brainer back-up. I guess RIAD in general is something I need to study up on. Would a simple mirror of one 500GB drive to another (back-up) - and do that twice - be a better, more reliable way to go?
I've used Tri-Backup3/4 for years for Backups, it's fast, automatic, reliable, works in the background if you wish...
Back-up software always seemed to have some kind of a hiccup to it, but I'll certainly look into Tri-Backup3/4. I used to Retrospect years ago, a rather fussy thing if I recall.
Now, on the Safe Mode boot - not a success BUT a different result!
I got the -36 again, but this time it was the external drive FILE that errored, not the OS-resident drive.
In other words, pre-Safe Mode the error said "...because some data in "ZillaHAL" could not be read or written." (ZillaHAL is my OS-X drive).
In Safe, it read, "...because some data in "WinXP Pro.vmem" could not be read or written."
"WinXP Pro.vmem" is the virtual machine file - which basically is a simple Mac volume (folder) containing all of the files to run my XP virtual machine.
Also, this time, a file* did manage to remain on the external drive whereas before, after the error, no file at all remained.
* a generic icon appears, but it shows a size of 16+GBs. The actual file is 18.13GB - I did manage to shrink it down the other day (from it's previous 25GB).
Well, that's it for now. I'll be away for three days, so don't mind me if I cannot reply back for a spell.
Thanks BD,
