Unable to import TV programs saved through TV tuner

I have an iTouch and some TV programs saved on my PC (saved through the TV tuner). They are in .dvr-ms format and I can't import them into iTunes. When I try to import one of the TV programs, nothing happens (no error message or anything). iTunes Help tells me how to convert a file once it has been imported into the iTunes Library, but it is absolutely useless in helping to get files such as these into the iTunes Library first. I bought this iTouch principally so that I could watch saved TV programs while I am on the road. I will be very unhappy if I'm not able to do that. Any help?

blame the manufacturer of your tv card and Microsoft.
The tv card I use included lovely software that gives me several options for export of recorded material-divx,mpeg 4, mpeg 2, h.264 for iPod and the iPod Touc/iphone, etc.
Good luck finding software to convert whatever format the stuff you saved is in, I recommend doing a google search.
PS- read this for info on file format and possible solutions to get it out of MS proprietary format into something usable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVR-MS

  • Unable to import all music files through add folder to library

    I have mapped a drive to my roughly 6,000 song library on an external HD. When I attempt to 'add folder to library' naturally the process takes a considerable amount of time but it completes with only 3054 songs at 11.92 BG being added.
    99.8% of the library is made up of mp3 files and there doesn't seem to be a pattern for what it has skipped. For example, even though it has imported some of the artists that start with the letter 'N', it has skipped Nine Inch Nails and others.
    There were no errors encountered during the process other than being unable to convert the one wma file I have in my collection.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I have around 30,000 mp3s and when I used the add file to library selection only about 16,500 were imported into my itunes library. Not sure what made this difference between what imported and what did not -- subfolders maybe? Anyway, dragging my itunes folder that contained all of the folders contaning my mp3 files from Windows Explorer and dropping into the itunes Window worked. Between the songs and album artwork processing it took about 2 hours.

    So where is LR trying to copy the files?  Check your destination in the Import panel at the right.

  • Unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

    unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

    The correct method of restoring photos from Time Machine is to restore the entire library.
    The way that TM backs up files makes nearly impossible to go into the backup via the Finder and recover individual files. So you will have to restore a library that contains the photos you need being sure to select the option to keep both versions.
    Then open the restored library and export those photos you need.  Open your original library and import those photos.  After that you can delete the recently restored library.

  • Lightroom 4.2.  unable to import. message files were not imported because they cannot be read

    Lightroom crisis:
    suddenly, unable to import images into lightroom - A window comes up that says ""Following files were not imported because they cannot be read". I was in the process of importing images - 10 images were imported from the shoot then the import stopped.
    I tested the card and the card readers by using cards from different cameras and using different card readers. I was able to import the images into a folder on my desktop so know nothing is corrupted.. The memory cards are good, my card readers are good. no setting have changed in my camera. Nothing has changed in my routine. Have been using lightroom for several years.
    I import through a card reader, convert to DNG and save on an external hard drive. All very ordinary.
    No one I have contacted has had nor knows of anyone who has had this problem.
    Unable to get in touch with anyone at Adobe.
    Thank you for any help or direction to tec support

    On a quick read, it sounds like the same issue that had me dead in the water for 7 days. (LR 4.2)  I tested everything - my card readers are good, the memory cards are not corrupted, tried different cards from different cameras,etc. Working my way through all my tech savvy friends and professionals, I was lucky to connect with a great sr. tech person at Adobe.  After trouble shooting  all lightroom possibilities (3 hours on the phone) we checked my external hard drive where all the images are stored.  Even tho the external hard drive had plenty of space and "told me" that it was healthy and functioning well, Adobe had me go into the external hard drive's properties/tools and do a "check for errors.  12 hours later after the program went though the drive one file at a time, it found errors, moved them to a separate folder, and now all is functioning OK.  The hard drive had not crashed nor were any images lost.  As can happen after some time there must have been a scratch or similar that prevented more images from being written  (or read) to the drive.  Even though all is working OK at this time, I will replace my external hard drive (and it's back up external drive).just in case there are more "bumps" on the external hard drive.
    My tech knowledge is limited, and I am not intuitive  about anything digital, so can't add any more information then the experience I had.

  • Unable to import video frompanasonic VDR-D105 DVD video camera to imovie HD

    Trying to import my video from my dvd camera but imovie can not find camera. When I connect the firewire the camera locates DVD player software and allows me to play it on my computer, but not able to import to imovie. DVD Player allows my to clip my video but does not allow me to transfer of save it on my computer.
    If I'm unable to import, Is there a work around to get my video in imovie, say quicktime?
    I am using imovie HD 6.0.3.

    Hi S
    1. DVD-Cameras are for playback - not to be edited from.
    iMovie, FinalCut Express and Pro works with miniDV tape Cameras
    This course DVD and hard disk Cameras compact info to medium BUT in
    a destructive way. You can't get full quality back to be edited.
    miniDV also compacts to tape BUT Non-destructive = full quality to Mac.
    2. Does Your Camera really have FireWire. Most probably You are using
    the USB-cable that was delivered with Your Camera. FW is buy extra.
    Best solution - though sour. Change Camera
    If this isn't an option You'll have to back convert to streaming DV that iMovie
    and FCE/P understands.
    - Converting programs like may be:
    MPEG Streamclip converts from mpeg-1 to whatever you like (within reason).
    QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component
    or
    via analog out on Camera via an A/D-box to FW to Mac.
    Non is a good way though.

  • 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 ..

  • Unable to Run C Program using Xcode "Stop Executable"

    Hi All
    Have been using the Terminal to compile programs built through Xcode but now want to use Xcode itself. Everytime I press build and go it builds successfully but won't run. I found a tutorial that mentioned if you are using Xcode 3.0 (I am) you can't use build and run, for output, you have to go to run and then push console.Ok that works. I then found someone with the same issue as mine everytime you want to build and run it appears with another window saying "Stop Executable"They were told to make sure they were building the .c file in a project and not building it from a text editor and then importing. I always build new projects.
    I want to interact with the program not just see its output? so my question is can I interact with programs i.e. User can enter data or strings or, do I have to build an interface to do this through Xcode. I Also forgotten to mention I found information through the forum that said to go to First Aid through utilities and repair file permissions, this has been done but still does not work. Many thanks for your time and as you can probably tell I am new to Xcode.

    To run your command-line program in Xcode, open the debugger console by choosing Run > Console. Run your program by choosing Run > Run or Build > Build and Run. You'll have to build and run if you haven't compiled the program before. Your program will run, and you will see output in the console. You interact with the program from the console.
    If you're not able to enter input in the console, choose Run > Sync with Debugger. If doing that doesn't work, you can run your program in the Terminal application by double-clicking the program from the Finder. It's less convenient than running it in Xcode, but you'll at least be able to run the program and interact with it.

  • Problem in calling order import concurrent program from BPEL

    Hi all,
    Iam doing a sales order creation in oracle apps using Apps Adapter.
    I have successfully inserted the order into the interface tables using an Apps adapter.
    Now I need to run Order Import program from BPEL to move the data from interface tables to the base tables for which i use another Apps Adapter.
    When I invoke the OEIMP concurrent program from BPEL ,request id is returned.But the concurrent program fails showing incomplete parameters.
    But it works when I invoke it from the front end in oracle apps.
    I think the problem lies in passing the inputs to the concurrent program from the BPEL.
    Any help to solve the issue will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    goutam

    Previously, I was passing the values to the concurrent program variables through ASSIGN component,which resulted in some namespace issues.Then I replaced it with TRANSFORM component.
    Also,First I assigned the values to the concurrent program variables as 'Vision Operations'(operating_unit), 'Online'(order_source) ,No (validate_only), No (validate_desc_flex) which are mandatory and just left non mandatory variables without assigning values.
    I changed those values as *'204','0','N','N'*. And also set non mandatory variables value as EMPTY.
    After doing all these I found the concurrent program catches all the parameter values correctly, and the records got imported from interface tables to the base tables.Thus the sales order got created successfully.
    Thanks,

  • I am unable to import photos to my computer from my iphone. I need help!

    Everytime i try and import photos to my computer I get an error message on every single photo. It says "The following error occured while importing 'photoxyz.jpg': The exact error is unknown. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you seek additional help to resolve this problem: 80210005." I can then try again (which never works), or skip the file. Essentially I am unable to import any photos from my phone. With the iphone 4 i did this all of the time with no problem but now that I have the iphone 5 this is all that happens. How do I import my photos? I don't want to import every single photos on my phone, just the new ones since the last time I imported. Thanks!!

  • I am unable to import my json file for my bookmarks.

    I'm unable to import bookmarks. When I go to Bookmarks, there is no organize option. If I go to File->Import, it just says that No programs that contain bookmarks, history, etc could be found even though its very obvious that it never made an attempt to look. Normally I do this in the Bookmarks->Show all bookmarks option without problems. I'm trying to import a json file.

    I'm no good a searching for things in Bugzilla.
    If it helps you the keyboard shortcuts within the Library List are
    Alt+O Organize
    Alt+V Views
    Alt+I Import and Backup
    anything else was added by an extension and has no keyboard shortcut.
    Would be nice to know if that works even when you can't see the Library's toolbar dropdowns but would see the dropdown once the shortcut is entered and be able to continue.

  • Unable to import Vob vedio file in to my project

    I am unable to import my VOB vedio file in to my Adobe Premier pro cs6.Please help me on this how can i edit .VOB file

    vob files are files from DVD and sometimes they are copyrighted and have meta data in them that makes it hard to use.. cause the manufacturer of that DVD tried to add data to the file so people can't abuse the copyright. Not all vob files have just video in them.. some have other stuff in them ... like menus and weird stuff that is used by the DVD to display chapters and special features and so on.. So basically not all VOB files are equal .. they are not all the same.. so your problem could be any number of problems...
    If you provide more info .. like maybe someone can help out a bit... but it may be hard to help solve the problem even WITH more info... depending where you got the file and what's inside it.  sorry that isnt very helpful right off the bat , but vob files can be weird.  Another problem with some vob files is that not all of them are written really 'correctly'... even though it is a standardized thing some programs that make vob files dont do a very good job of making them... so .. maybe more info from you could help.. but then again.. it might not lead to a happy ending for you...
    but good luck

    Hi prikol and welcome to the RH community. Can you let us

  • Renderfarm error: Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file

    I have an error message I am receiving during network rendering on a  renderfarm, and was hoping for some help. The error is this: "Pre-Flight  Error: Unable to import previously rendered file."
    Here is my setup and some details:
    The user makes a comp, and adds it to the render queue set to render as a  quicktime movie file. Then they run a script which precomps everything  and sets it to render as a image sequence with "Skip existing files"  checked. This comp also has a post-render action set to import &  replace usage. After this comp is rendered, it gets pulled back into the  project and the original render item starts rendering the movie file  using the previously rendered image sequence as it's only layer.
    This project gets saved to a server where our render nodes are watching  the folder. All the render nodes pick up the project and proceed to  render the image sequence. Then, after they are done, 1 machine will  pick up the second render item and begin rendering the image sequence  into the final quicktime movie.
    All of this goes smoothly about 90% of the time. However, in some cases  an error shows up in the watch folder html page for the 2nd render item  (the one converting the image sequence to the movie). The error says  "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file." After the  error occurs, no machines will start rendering the project.
    My first guess is that the render engine on one machine somehow skips  rendering the image sequence comp, and then tries to render the  quicktime movie comp and fails because the image sequence has not yet  been rendered. However, I can't figure out why After Effects would skip  rendering the first comp.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks for the help, and let me know if you have any more questions about the setup,
    Adam

    Well, you should get used to the fact that it's simply gone... Just looking at your screenshot makes me grind my teeth. From delayed writing of files to fragmentation in user folders to Windows doing obscure things this could be anything, but seriously, saving important files on the desktop? That is simply sloppy data management. There is no other way to say it. Read up on what proper file naming, incremental saving and backups are good for and why keeping work files separate and away from your user home directories is actually a quite simple, yet effective concept to avoid exactly that kind of issue.
