Intel Mac :: Cannot Open MPEG-2 Files Taken On A SONY Handycam
Jun 24, 2012
I cannot seem to open MPEG-2 files taken on a SONY handycam. Error claims codes is missing. Lion is supposed to support MPEG-2. Tried to follow links and bought teh reccomended MPEG-2 for iMac but that will not install. Error says software is intended for earlier software versions
I bought the extension for quicktime but there's no sound and it says there's no sound if it's a muxed mpeg. I'm importing it from a Sony HDD Handycam How do I unmux?
How do I download video from a Sony NEX-VG10 Handycam? It says it wont download on a Mac, and to contact Apple. The odd thing is, that it has Registration for MAC.
I have been trying to convince my Dad to get an iMac for himself for about 2 years. Right now he uses a 5 and 1/2 year old HP and it is draggin'. Anyways, he finally decided to get a mac (probably b/c he likes my mbp so much ) Well, tonight we realized that his Sony DCR-SR82 60GB Handycam Camcorder is not compatible with a mac. I guess Sony uses "muxed" video which means it is mixed together instead of having seperate video and audio tracks. I have got the run around from a whole bunch of sites and I need help.
So my problem is I just got a macbook and I am transferring my files from my pc to my mac. My old sony handycam videos on my mac will not transfer. It says on my mac that "this is not a movie" and cannot be played. I have tried saving a video to a flash drive and doing it that way but no luck. I have figured out how to download videos from my handycam to my mac. I just need help getting my videos from my pc to my mac. Do I need to convert them to a different format? I am getting rid of my pc and am desperate to get these video's off. Also my burner is busted on my pc so I cannot just burn them either
my problem is i cannot work out how to get video to imovie from my son's sony handycam DCR-HC28E. some say use a firewire but the one i have doesn't even plug into the camera let alone the computer!is there someone out there who may have this same situation and has resolved it? there are sooo many bits you can stick into your various devices for ICT[information and communication technology-for those who don't get that in their mail all the time!] that i find it very frustrating when you think you have what you want only to get home and find it does not work with yours, is not compatible and so forth.maybe someone might know a good online store which deals in all those things...connecting things to other things.
I recently bought a new Sony Handycam to upload videos onto my Mac and the guys at Best Buy assured me it was Mac compatible. The driver that came with the camera has a Mac guide, but no apps for uploading.
iPhoto detects my camera and will import photos, but seems the videos are coming up as incompatible.
I just bought a Sony Handycam DCR-SR42. It does not have a mini DVD or Firewire, rather it has its own hard drive and connects via USB. My Mac, a desktop from 2006, running OS X 10.4.10, has iMovie HD. I have been trying tirelessly to import footage according to instructions from iMovie help and from the Sony Handycam handbook, but I keep getting a message that says: "iMovie could not import the file because it is not a movie file. Quicktime could not parse the file." The files are .MPG format. I've already tried to format the camera's hard drive (both on the camera and on the computer), but that didn't work...
I tried to capture the video camera (Sony Handycam 2007) on to my iMac and it wont open till I need to install the sofeware MPEG file so where can I easy to download the free software on internet?
Anyone else having trouble opening MPEG files in QuickTime? I was able to fine until installing Leopard. The file is not corrupt or anything. I tried several MPEG files and none of them open. I get the following message.
I'm trying to work on compiling a "family video" with clips from my siblings. They all use PCs and I'm the only Mac, but they're sending me Mpeg files that I can't open. I get a notification that I need "additional software" in order to open those files and get them working in iMovie.
Info: iMac 2.66/2/500 and MacBook 2.4/2/250 and iPhone 3GS, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Although my husband can open an .MPEG video file from my Sony DCRSX40 camera on his older PC, I just cannot oepen any of them on my new iMac. (They play well in the camera). QuickTime give me the error message that I do ntot have the proper video codec.
This should really be directed at Elgato but I reckon I'll get a quicker answer from you guys I'm thinking about picking up an EyeTV Hybrid, which can receive digital terrestrial channels. Here in NZ, Freeview HD uses MPEG-4 and AAC, and I can't find any information about whether EyeTV supports these formats. Does anyone know?
Is there a way i can combine separate mpeg files using imovie or any other program that may come with the macbook pro?is there any freeware programs that will do this? or should i just buy one?
Alright, I'm starting to get irritated. I used Realplayer Downloader to get the youtube files. I've tried iSquint and Vixy. I even tried ffmpegx knowing it wouldn't work.
My FCP crashed last week and the only option left was to install OS 10 which enabled me to install the latest FCP. The 'update' thing didn't happen for me so I lost everything.
After redoing weeks of work, my plan was to return to my old system - exporting mpeg files in FCP and transferring them to my PC where I use Nero to make menus. This has always worked in the past. However, since updating OS X and FCP, any mpeg files aren't read via VLC on my PC. I have tried a whole array of export options (various codecs - H264/Apple Pro Res) but nothing works. I have tried to open the mpeg files on 2 computers but still no luck. Both computers have updated versions of VLC and Quicktime.
about 2 months ago i bought a sony dsc-hx5v.its a nice camera but..... when connecting to my mac Iphoto opens automatically like its supposed to but Imovie i have to manually open. Recently IMOVIE will not open the card and import any files. I am running the right version of imovie and my computer sees the stick on my desktop. i can open the stick manually and see files but i cant do anything with them. once i tried to reformat the stick in the camera and it worked ONCE. i have never had a problem with my previous sony products but this is just stupid. any ideas?
I have my film material (camera: Panasonic SDR-H20) in MPEG-2 Format, which can't be imported by iMovie.
I would like to know,
1) which are from your experiences the best programms to convert MPEG-2 to "?".
2) ? because, which would be the best Format....I would like to watch the movie on my Mac, but also see it on my TV. Most programs offer to Transfer it to everything (ipad, ipod, tablet....but not a General TV).
I have downloaded the file ClassicsOnLine.app It was sent to me individually by the firm ClassicOnLine via YouSendIt. The app will open, but will not open one of its own files. When instead I ask that file to open with the app, the app freezes and has to be force quitted. All old versions have been trashed, and there are no traces of any old files that I can find on the computer. It reminds me of the old extension conflicts. I have used Safari and Firefox separately and get the same result from both.
