  • What format should I have super 8 transferred into to use imovie 8 to edit?

    I have a bunch of old super 8s that I will utilize a commercial lab to tranfer to digital so that I can edit them in imovie. What format would preserve the best quality and still be importable into imovie 8? I suppose I could also import into the previous version of imovie of need be as well so suggestions for both would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    You wouldn't really want them in a highly compressed format which is why you would be better with the miniDV tapes providing you can play them (HDV if they do them and you can play them) otherwise you might go for DV on a data DVD, but you'll only get 20 minutes on a disc.

    BTW, this is the mother of all FAQs here Sadly the FAQ section of the forum decribes just the problem, not any solutions. And searching the forums doesn't always work either.

  • What format should I use for video in Director 11.5.9?

    I'm running Director 11.5.9 on Windows7, 64 bit with Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.4GHz with 16 GB RAM.
    I'm trying to insert some videos into an existing Director program written in 640x480 rez.  A QT movie looks awful at full screen.  AVI doesn't run at all. Some mpeg xtras no longer work with Director 11, so what formats do I have available to work with in Director 11?
    Thanks.

    Hi

    Any suggestions for free or v.cheap converters?

  • TS1382 my ipod will not play any format of film i have tried mp4 and .mov and it says this format not supported what is the problem

    i have an ipod classic and i have tried to put films on but every format i try it keeps saying thei format not supported i have tried mp4 and .mov and it will not take it anyone got any suggestions on what format to use and the best way to convert films

    If these problem videos are already stored in your iTunes library, try using the iTunes built in convert to convert the file to an even friendlier iPod format.  To use it, highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the drop down menu.  When the conversion process has completed, try syncing the new version over to your iPod Classic.

  • I am going to place a 30 minutes dvd film on a website for one of my clients. Before converting tje old vhs-film to dvd I must know what format will suit the needs best. HTTP, Flash, Quicktime or something else?

    I am going to place a 30 minutes dvd film on a website for one of my clients. The film was shot 15 years ago and is in vhs-format. Before I will have the film converted into a dvd-format I want to know what format will suit my needs best. HTTP, Flash, Quicktime or something else? I will make it easy for myself placering the dvd film on the site and for the vistors who wish to look att the film.

    The DVD format (MPEG-2) isn't appropriate for Web use.
    Use QuickTime and H.264 video codec with AAC audio. Size the file at 320X240 (best fit for your old file).
