Video files transferred from pc all grainy on iMac

Hi
I've recently bought the new 27" imac and before I sold my windows pc i transferred all my files including some home movies onto a external hard drive .I've just played some of the clips and the majority of them have lost a **** of a lot of quality.The files i recorded using a dv camera are so grainy and noisy I can hardly make out what they are.The videos I recorded using a camera are better but THEY seem to be pixelated .
Please help as these are now the ONLY copies of my precious memories.

Surprised about VLC playing graining .avi files.  Anywho, download Perian (AVI and FLV support) and try playing using QT.
Regarding the wmv files, use Flip4Mac to play these type of files.

  • Opening video files transfered from phone to pc

    transfered video from phone to pc and downloaded pc suite to pc but when i click on video file i get a message "cannot open file"

    Which phone? Which version of PC Suite? Did you use the PC Suite "View multimedia" app/feature or some other app to view the videos?
    What is the video file format (at least the file extension, such as .3gp, .3g2 or .m4a or whatever)?
    What if you try some other video player like Apple QuickTime?

    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • Bad Video File Transfers

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 and I am trying to transfer video files from a Panasonic pro video cam. The transfer seems to work fine until I go to view the video clips in any kind of viewer and then they play really "choppy". Has anyone else experienced problems with video file transfers?
    According to a service rep at Panasonic, my laptop has above and beyond all the minimum system requirements for they cam as well as the editing software I have (Vegas 10). I can also find nothing wrong on the camera side of the equation.
    Any help or thoughts would be great!

    Not necessarily. Sometimes they're caused by failed captures as above, but if the drive was not correctly formatted, this may not be the case. If the drive is not in Mac OS Extended, then the file will segment based on the file size, and the -av file will be part of the whole media file and cannot be deleted to keep a complete QT movie.

  • Music file transfered from PC does not appear in t...

    Some of my music files transfered from PC does not appear in the music player in the cellphone but they appear as rigntone..NOKIA N81
    How will i resolve it??
    Can someone help me?
    Please reply, it's urgent.

    Hi Irosenth
    Thanks for the answer. I am not sure I understand your question though.
    We have a collection of reader enabled pdfs that the user can open in a webbrowsercomponent in a .Net winform.
    We used to (Reader 9.4 and before) replace the Readers "save pdf" button with our own "save pdf" button that
    - saves the pdf
    - exports its data as xml
    - send a message to the .Net winform that the pdf has been saved.
    We implemented our own save button and its functions using a plug-in.
    Now I can't find our "save pdf" button in Reader X. That is my problem.
    So I try to create a new toolbar and place our "save pdf" on this new toolbar as you adviced me.
    I expect the toolbar to show up in the Tools pane in the webbrowser component in Reader X.
    But it doesn't. There is no Tools pane when I open the PDF in the webbrowser.
    (btw all the keyboard shortcuts we have created in the plugin (ie CTRL, ALT, L) works fine - so the plugin generally works).
    When I couldn't find my toolbar with its button in the webrowser, I tried to open one of the reader enabled pdfs in the Reader X as a standalone application.
    This was just as a test to see if it worked any different from the browser plugin. It is not part of our use case.
    But I noticed that in the standalone Reader X I do have a Tools pane, and my new toolbar but no "save pdf" button.
    This is how it looked with Reader 9.4 and before:
    OK the red text in the screenshot is quite difficult to read. It says (from above)
    "We have replaced the Readers save button with our own save button in the plugin.
    This is the (selvcreated save) button I miss in Reader X"
    "This is a Reader enabled PDF shown in a webbrowser component in a .Net Winform"
    "The users only have the Reader, not Acrobat"
    Best regards

  • HT4796 I cannot open any files transferred from the PC to my MAC as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

    Hi
    Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
    I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
    It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
    I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
    I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
    to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
    as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
    I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
    Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
    Thank you for your suggestion.

  • I cannot Open EXCEL files transferred from my old HP laptop.

    I am unable to open EXCEL files transferred from my HP LapTop. How to resolve?

    The forum for MBP:

    As for Excel, checked microsoft office community?
    Maybe if you try export first....?
    Vista has its own ownership permission flags. Maybe if you modify the file or a copy first, and then copy.

  • How do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?

    how do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?  My photos and video files are first imported into Aperture then synced with iTunes. However, itunes does not capture the Video files but uploads the phtos from Aperture during sync.
    I tried dragging the video files into iTunes but it still would not be captured into iTunes ?
    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks

    Open them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes.  That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

  • Updated to 7.0 and lost video file purchased from iTunes

    I updated my iTunes today and a video file I purchased from iTunes in February is gone. The file is still on my iPod because I have not sync'ed it yet. I know that once I do the file is lost for good. Is there a way of preserving it and putting it back into iTunes without repurchasing it?

  • Too much rendering of video files imported from iMovie

    I am new to mac so maybe someone can help me out. I imported all my video to my hard drive from iMovie. When I use these files on FCE it always has to render, there is no sound. Just by putting a video clip on the timeline with no effects or anything, it always has to render and there is no sound. When i import video files from another hard drive imported from a different program and i drop it to the timeline, it doesnt have to render and i do hear the sound. How can i fix this?

    Hello and welcome to the forum
    Listen to Tom; he's one of the chief gurus and most frequent contributors to this forum! Here's how to export your iMovie footage so you can easily use it in FCE:
    In iMovie, select Share>QuickTime and choose Expert Settings. On the next screen select Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie and click the Options button. In the resulting Movie Settings window, select DV/DVCPRO-NTSC for video compression and Linear PCM Stereo @48kHz for Sound Settings. Uncheck the Prepare for Internet Streaming box.
    Realize that you'll be making an entirely new movie file, around 13GB per hour of standard def footage. Hope you have a big honker of a hard drive!
    Good luck!

  • Why cant I delete some Folders / Files transfered from external HD? to!

    I am trying to figure out why I cant delete some folders / files, that I transfered from an external HD to my Macbook!
    Some of these folder / files are text, video, and pic's based. Surely, going through those video / pics / text files, those I dont need anymore I would like to delete. Some of these appear to be deleted (in trash).  But few days later I do realize, that they were not delete, or only few of the deleted files were properly deleted!
    Why is this, this way - and how can I solve this issues! I just want to delete stuff either in form of folders or files, that I dont need anymore!

    How are you trying to transfer them? What kind of external device?
