Which HD video file formats work with Mountain Lion?

I use Final Cut Pro v. 7.0.3 and want to work with HD video. Have tried to open some HD video files and have not been able to. Are there specific HD file types that Can be used with this older system?

I've googled the camera for info and I think it should work in FCP7.0.3
Connect it to your Mac with the USB cable and switch it on.
In the FCP menu select File>Log and Transfer
A window will open and all the clips in your camera should start to appear.
Select the ones you want and click the pause symbol on the lower, centre part of the window to start the capture.

Convert .MXF Video files to work with Mac Editing software?

Hello,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your response.
If this codec can only be read by Final Cut Pro, why do all these companies claim their software can convert .MXF files?

Why does snaps pro not work with mountain lion?

I spent a lot money purchasing the pro addition only to be told that it won't work with mountain lion due to Apple's written something into the code that does not permit me to make videos with it. I even tried ot make a video of Indesign acting up so i could send it to Adobe support and it wouldn't allow me to. Is this the resaon it suddenly doesn't work anymore? Are there plans to fix mountian lion to allow me to use my software? Alternatively,, does Apple have something that does screen captures of videos?

this is the repsonse form Ambrosia: (Not sure I understand it)
As far as Snapz Pro X 2 functionality, some major backend Digital Rights Management changes enacted by Apple may be what is preventing you from recording movies you were previously able to record using our software. Basically, our program can no longer access videos before the DRM protections are enabled, unfortunately we have no control over these changes. Please see the following FAQ:http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x /Why-does-the-content-of-my-capture-display-as-a-checkerboard
BTW I am current on the latgest version.
Does anybody know how to work around my problem? I need to be able to record videos on my computer.

HT1338 preview does not work with mountain lion

I updated my mid 2011 mac mini to mountian lion and i find Preview and all of MS Office 2011 for MAC fails to work
I can cut and paset the logs, but lets astart with assessing whagt does not work with Mountain Lion.

Your profile lists a 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard.
I installed Windows XP into Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro (either in Leopard or Snow Leopard, I do not remember which) and I used it with Parallels 6.
When I upgraded it to Lion, even though the Lion Bootcamp will NOT install Windows XP, my Bootcamp (and use by Parallels 7) survived the upgrade.
It may be possible that it will also survive and operate a future upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation

The Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation.
Opening the dictation system preference panel makes the system preferences crash...
The mic of that camera is the only mic I have.
I own a Mac Pro and an old Cinema Display which has no built-in cam/mic.
Anyone having the same issue?
I hope this is gonna be fixed with 10.8.1.

Hello, thank you for responding.
Unplug and plug in back the camera does not solve this problem. I tried that before.
But what worked was to start photo booth. Don't really know why.
So after every restart of the mac I have to start photo booth and dictation with the QuickCam is working. ^^

Does Onyx work with Mountain Lion?

Does Onyx work with Mountain Lion? Also, if a program asks you to start up from disk, and you have Mountain Lion which was downloaded, then wouldn't that old disk replace the newer software?

Before using Onyx, or any such utility, you should backup your data:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
note the 'b' in the version number of programs indicate it is a beta. What I like to call a buggy everyday test application, or simply putting it, you are a guinea pig for the software developer. Once you are sufficiently backed up, for what reason do you desire to use Onyx? Mac OS X does its own "maintenance", and really Onyx should only be used to troubleshoot a backed up system.

Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
*Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
If you get this message:
then you need to right-click on the installer package and select 'Open' when you get this message:
If this isn't your issue you need to be more specific about what is happening.

Apple states that (of the MBP lines) it has to be from Mid/Late 2007 or later. yours seems to be right on the line.
Apple says
If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.
you must also have the latest version of Snow Leapord or Lion

Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

HT200160 This solution does not seem to work when I upgraded from OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I've tried all versions of this. Any suggestions specific to getting this to work with Mountain Lion?

Any suggestions for making this work with Mountain Lion? I've tried all similar solutions on web. I've been able to get this to work with Lion, and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it seems to hold true (doesn't make me implement again). But when I went from OSX 10.6 to Mountain Lion and have to implement it on 10.8 - it isn't working. Thanks.
