Why cant I import M4V or FLV files into my I-Movie video? Please HELP!

I just got the new Mac Desktop and REALLY hate that I cant drap and drop videos into the newer (i-Life11) -Imovie like I was used to since 2010. Seems to only work for photos. Is there a way around that?
So I am making a church youth group video where I have spent HOURS trying to get parts of Youtube videos into the video to show them.  I have 2 forms saved on my desktop thanks to the software -   i have a FLV video and a M4V - both converted.  The Imovie already has plenty of clips that are M4V in them so I know it will take that form.  It just wont let me import them..they are there but are not accesible (they are 'faded') under the File/Import/Movies/Desktop  or File/Movies/RealPlayerDownloads.  They aren't darkened and  and I cant do anything with them.
What am I doing wrong?
HELP please.   Thanks for input. 
Frustrated volunteer who has spent too many hours on this!!!

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to DV. In the case of the FLV file, this requires installing Perian.

  • Why cant i import Canon CR2 RAW pic into iPhoto?

    Anyone know why cant I import Canon CR2 RAW pic into iPhoto???

    Although all Canon RAW files are are suffixed CR2, they are not all the same. In fact, each model of Camera produces a different RAW. What camera do you have? Is it in the Supported List?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475
    Have you applied all the Camera RAW updates?

  • My iPhone library says library rebuilding I cant fix this I am trying to recover my photos and video please help.

    My grandfather recently passed away. I have photos of our last moments together and i went to upload them to computer and Iphone says library rebuilding. I cant see the photos on the harddrive or anything. I am really nervous I lost these i had a video and everything I am really lost for words.....if anyone can give me any help on how to fix this i read something saying get the Iphone browers but it wont install.

    Image Capture will only import photos and videos from the camera roll, not from photo stream.  In order to import them with Image Capture, you would first need to save the photo steam photos to his camera roll by opening his my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then import them with Image Capture.  After doing so, delete them from his camera roll by opening his camera roll, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete.
    If you did this carefully, he would never know.  The risk is that you accidently left one or more photo stream photos in his camera roll and he noticed it.
    Before doing this, check to see if the photo stream photos are already in his camera roll.  The may be as all photo stream photos originate from the camera roll.  Unless he subsequently deleted them, they would still be there and could be imported with Image Capture without needing to change anything on his phone.

  • Why cant I import my Nikon D800E NEF files - just started recently - "unable to copy a file"

    Why cant I import my Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.3 - just started recently -I have been doing the same thing for months and never had a problem. "unable to copy a file to location"

    Thanks, but no I do have plenty of space. What I just did was to move the NEF files off of my card and into the location I wanted them. I then just did an import move to the same location. This is just all very odd because it always had worked fine in the past. I do appreciate you trying to help.

  • Using Captivate to import .mp4 or .flv files

    I am looking for someone with Captivate experience to let me
    know if Captivate can turn my mp4 and flv files into scorm
    compliant objects. Seems like I could import it and export it and
    be ready to go. Is this the case?

    Hi again
    Indeed Captivate is often used to capture screen activity.
    But within Captivate 3 one may click Insert > Flash Video... and
    point at a .FLV file to link to and present.
    The FLV will normally require metadata. You might find the
    link below to be of value.

    Maybe it is just to long. You can import ringtones up to 40 sec. If it's longer, it will appear in iTunes but not on your iPhone.

    Hi
    Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
    They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
    There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

  • How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

    Hi there,
    Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
    I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
    I've tried the following:
    Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
    --Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
    Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
    --This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
    Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
    The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
    Thanks in advance!
    Ronny

    Hi Ronny,
    According to your description, you want to import a SPSS .sav file to SQL Server 2008 R2 database. If that is the case, we can achieve this requirement with SPSS or SQL query. For more details, please refer to the following methods:

  • Inserting a FLV file into CS5.5 project

    Hello,
    If anybody is able to help me with my question I would be forever grateful.
    1. I use CS5.5 and I have published a captivate demonstration as a MP4 - then converted it to a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder. 
    2. I have then inserted the FLV file into another captivate CS5.5 project and published the file as a flash file.
    Problem - The FLV file plays when previewing in web browser, and also plays on a public file location.  Problem occurs when I load the published file onto a web server I get a connection error when I get to the slide with the FLV file.
    I am really stumped with this one.  Has anybody any ideas?
    Thanks
    ali

    Hi Rod,
    Attached is a screen dump.  I can understand why when I publish the final flash version to a web server that it does not recognise the path of the FLV file as it is on my local drive.  However when I attempt to place the file name of the file sitting on the web server I get another error message (Refer to screen dump 2).  Obviously I am missing something
    I am missing here.  Thanks ali

  • How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

    How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
    So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
    The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
    When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
    This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
    I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
    Any Help welcome :|
    Tim

    Tim,
    MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

  • Import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance

    Is it possible to import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance? Thanks
    in advance for your thoughts.

    No, do NOT run the catexp.sql from 9i in your 10g db! That was only a valid method with Oracle 6/7 and Oracle 7/8!
    Just use the Oracle 9.2 version of exp to create the dumpfile from the 10g database. You can use SQL*Net to connect to the 10g db from your 9.2 server connecting like system/manager@tnsname. Then use 9.2 imp to import the dumpfile into your 9.2 db.
    If you have access to Metalink please refer to the following note for full details on compatibility between Oracle releases for exp/imp: 132904.1

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]
