Video Footage not working on my Mac but only on PCs.. i need it on the Mac!

I have uploaded movie footage from a JVC Everio and a Sony Vario-Tessar- both of which use the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) technology. The footage works perfectly on any PC computer however on my Macintosh when attempting to play them or edit them using Final Cut Pro the Sony footage plays but with no sound and the JVC footage claims it is not a movie file at all.
does anyone have any insight into thise i'm desperate to have this done by monday!
or can anyone give me a list of differend types of file names you can have for a movie file e.g. .MOV so that i can attempt to change file names etc.
PLEASE help!

you made a good choice, DVCPRO HD is an excellent intermediate compressed HD format to use when converting from your HDD based HD footage
in future, for woring with the Everio you might want to check out the following:
1) the QUICK TIME for Everio component from the CD-ROM that is supplied with the camcorder.
2) then update for the JVC Quick Time component for Everio which can be found at: http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/updateqtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3eupdate.htm This update provides latest compatibility for up to QuickTime Version 7.4.5 and Mac OS X 10.5.2.
3) Easy Setup files for Final Cut Pro for 60i (for USA) need to be downloaded and installed from: http://www.everydayvideo.com/eng/GZHD3/indexqc.php
On the same page there is a tutorial link with individual sections for recordings made in FHD or SP/1440CBR modes. It shows you how to convert the file to either AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec), YUV (uncompressed) format or HDV1080i.
Please also see the Apple editing tutorials which are located here:

  • ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

    Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
    The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
    Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
    Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

  • Apple DVI to Video Adapter not working with SL + Mac Mini

    I've seen some issues with the video adapter putting out only black and white signal with Macbook Pros. That would be an improvement for me.
    I can't get SL to play with the video adaper when I plug it into my TV. I get black and white and a bounching broken up signal, as though the refresh rates don't match. I can't play around with the settings because it's impossible to see what's on screen. I have to plug my monitor back in.
    This used to work fine under Leopard.
    How will I ever watch Mad Men now?

    Why don't you click on the Apple icon at the top left of the screen.
    Select About This Mac. Click on the info about which version of OS X you have - under the Apple icon - click twice to see your serial number. Use it to determine the model of your Mac Pro on Apple's web site. Inform those who would help you what model Mac Pro you have.
    Click on More Info...
    Select Graphics/Displays.
    Inform those who would help you what your graphics card is.

  • I am using windows 7 64 bit. when a pdf link is opend from any website the touch pad does not work vertically on websites but only on pdf page but no problem in internet exproler

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Trackpad/Multitouch not working.... but only in certain spots?

    Hey all.
    I've had my 2010 2.4ghz Core 2 DuoMacbook for just over 2 years, and I've had my share of problems, but nothing quite like this.  Upon waking it from sleep this afternoon, the trackpad has been acting eratic, but not in the typical fashion described on these forums.  It doesn't jerk or click on its own.  Instead, it appears to have developed dead spots, in which the trackpad cannot sense that my finger is touching it.  The trackpad is not wet and my hands are not dirty; the problematic areas are consitent.  It's as though the sensitivity in much of the trackpad has simply vanished.
    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on this computer and booted via the installation disk, running the disk and permission checks.  Nothing has changed.  Is this a definite hardware problem, warranting a replacement of the trackpad, or is there a possible solution for this?
    Thanks

    Check your application settings in the WACOM file . That is also where
    you can set the thumb wheel to zoom in and out with ( Ctrl / numb+)

    Whatever happened, it sounds like you need to reset your phone. As contacts and messages seem to have gone they would be lost anyway unless they were on the SD card and/or backed up using Nokia Suite.
    I'd suggest you reset the phone by dialling *#7370# followed by the security code which is 12345 by default (is asked). The phone will reset and you should be able to use it again afterwards.
    Let us know what happens..

  • Video Posting Not Working for One Page - Working fine on others...

    I have a page created using iWeb that features a video, however the video will not load properly when the page is opened.
    here is a link to the page where the video DOES NOT work:
    http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving/Surviving%20WEB.html\
    I published the page using homepage and the video works, here is a link to the page where the video DOES WORK:
    http://homepage.mac.com/minorstrachan/iMovieTheater6.html
    As anyone can clearly see, the quality of the homepage created site is not nearly as good as the iWeb created site and therefore I would much prefer the iWeb site to work.
    So far I have tried renaming the video, creating a new page in iWeb, creating a new site in iWeb, and re-encoding the video and using the new encode.
    So far none of these solutions has worked. Does anyone have any advice/experience with this or similar problems?
    And just for the record, I'm using the latest version of iWeb, 1.1.2.
    Thank You,
    My personal email address is [email protected]

    At the very least, you should take the last slash off the end of that URL above....otherwise it won't work... like this...
    http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving/Surviving%20WEB.html
    To better shield you from making errors like this, you should focus on using the shortest URL possible to get to your page. For your situation with multiple sites, you can use this general URL format...
    http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename , which would yield...
    http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving
    That should fix your problem.

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • I downloaded ox mavericks but it is not working on my mac air

    I downloaded the OX Mavericks but it is not working. I still am using the old software. I dont know why the Mavericks is not working on my mac air

    Did you install it? G to your Applications folder and look for an app called "Install OS X". It gets deleted after install, so if it's still there, you haven't run it yet. Launch that app and follow the directions.

  • Anyone have a fix for Facebook video chat not working in Mavericks?

    I have seen many people having the problem of video chat not working in Facbook since upgrading to Mavericks. The good news is the camera icon has reappeared, but it still is not working.
    Any help would be AWESOME!!
    thx

    Hi,
    If it is in Messages it will need to be Messages to Messages.
    i.e. a Mac Buddy also using iChat or Messages to do Jabber Video chats in the app.
    This means it will not connect to someone using a Jabber app that can do Video or the web Page login and using "chat" from there.
    I believe the Web Browser method with Facebook's own end to end connection use Flash.
    You may need to update a version of Flash if your have it or install it if you do not.
    FaceTime would not connect to the Jabber connections that Facebook is running.
    FaceTime is it's own service and does not connect to others.
    Messages and FaceTime are run on different servers and you can in fact run different IDs in each.
    (this can causes issues when your Invoke a FaceTime Video Chat from Messages which presumes the Contact is using the same ID).

  • Video template not working in simulator

    Man, I am really sorry to have to bring this up...again. I have searched the forums, and I cannot find an answer to this. I am still working in DVD SP 2. I have found that when using a menu template based on a .mov (video) file - for example the Theater Marquee template - instead of a .tif or .jpg template, that the video does not work in the simulator nor does it work if I burn it to DVD then try it in a DVD player.
    PowerMac G4 Dual 1.3GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Let me be a little bit more specific as to what the problem is. If I use any of the menu templates that have a moving, or video, background (which use .mov files) and I go to check them in the simulator, all I see are the title and the buttons. There is a brief one-second flash of the background when it first runs, but then it's just a black background. The music that is associated with it plays, though. I've tried looking at the settings in the inspector, but I can't see anything to change that would affect the display of the template. I have read some other posts where the problem may be solved in DVD SP 3, but I'm not about to drop another $250 or more for a program because the one that should be working doesn't work.
