OS X :: Can Combine Separate Mpeg Files Using Imovie?
Nov 11, 2006
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?
I want to combine separate JPEGs into one document. I know, for comparison, how to combine PDFs into one document using either Preview or Automator.  Is there a similar technique for JPEGs?  Â
In addition to Preview I also have GraphicConvertor.
Info: Mac mini (Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I have been using Preview to separate pdf pages into separate pdf documents. How might I do the reverse. Preview appears to have combined the documents in the thumbnail, but will not allow saving this. It just saves the highlighted page.
I need to throw a iMovie I made to my friends HD from my computer, but I only have it saved as a iMovie Project and he wouldn't be able to watch it. How do I export it as a .mpeg or .avi? It's not under file in iMovie either. I only have the choice to import and no export.
I was able previously to import mpeg video from my Sony Cybershot into iMovie and work with it. Somehow today, I get a message saying "Can't open file. Skipping it and continuing." I tried all kinds of settings in Preferences. Recently I reinstalled my Panther OSX. Maybe that has something to do with it? Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction here.
I want to know what free or cheap program i can use to import mpeg 1 and 2 into imovie. i tried dropdv.com but i have a dispute claim with them. I am looking for another program similar to dropdv that does the same thing basically.
I have my film material (camera: Panasonic SDR-H20) in MPEG-2 Format, which can't be imported by iMovie.Â
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).
say you got some mpegs you wanna edit in iMovie, you can't because imovie wont let you now with this program im about to tell you about (free) you can export those mpegs into dv! its great and works 100% it encodes the audio as well as the video too.
So, I have all of my imovie projects backed up on my external harddrive, as well as the imovie program. I accidentally deleted all of the imovie projects and events from the imovie application on my laptop. When I try to re-import the imovie files into imovie, it doesn't recognize the files. I have tried to convert them with iSkySoft Video Converter. That converter program does not recognize the files either. I also tried burning the files onto a disc and then pulling them off the disc with the Handbrake program. This doesn't work either. I also tried importing the files into iMovie HD, which I have on my desktop, but to no avail. Are these files alll useless now? I'm at my wits end because I have spent literally months compiling footage for a documentary.
In preview, I use to drag multiple pdf files into the sidebar to create one combined file to email to a customer. My entire office does this on a daily basis several times per hour. In Snow Leopard, I can't get this to work. Any one else have this same problem?
combine the various PST files that I have from 2 different computers now that I have moved them into Outlook for Mac. It seems that they should do such a thing but not sure where to start or if it is even possible.
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?
I have this movie that came in a double-sided DVD. I ripped each side using Handbrake to a .m4v file. Each file plays just fine in QT, iPhone and ATV.
However, when I used QT Pro to combine them to an .mov file, I get the following results: - QT (and iTunes) plays entire video fine - no audio from the first half of the combined video when played on ATV - no audio from the second half when played with VLC
(The instructions I am following are from page 31 of this: [URL])
When I take that combined .mov file and converted to .m4v using Handbrake, I get the following results: - QT+VLC play no audio on second half - ATV isn't letting me ffwd and it thinks the entire video file is one big chapter, and I haven't gotten to the second half to know if there is audio (first half has audio)
Now... I know that the issues with the .m4v that I generated from Handbrake doesn't mean much, so let's just focus on my issues with the .mov file if you agree that the .m4v playback issues aren't relevant.
What am I doing wrong with QT Pro when trying to combine the two halves of my movie into one large video file? If it matters, the movie is only 2:27 total length. I've not had a problem ripping DVD movies with Handbrake. And, finally, I can join my two halves on my Windows box using AVS Video Convertor.
When you buy a Movie or TV Show on iTunes you receive two versions of it, but it appears as just one file on iTunes. I was just wondering if its possible to do that manually to your own videos that you import into iTunes.
I am just starting out with applescript and could do with a pointer please. I have written a script which saves two pdf files from an active Illustrator document in the source folder of that document. The issue I am have now is that I cannot get the two files to combine into a single PDF file. The whole script is quite long and is works apart from the combine PDF part?
tell application "Finder" try open (every document file of container of file_path whose name contains ".pdf")Â on error display dialog "no PDF file located"
[code]....
Both PDF documents open and are set as the variables docRefA and docRefb, but the acrobat command 'bring to front' and 'insert page' do not seem to be working. I get an error come up in an illustrator dialog box saying "Adobe Acrobat Pro got an error: document "84056_R1.pdf" doesn't understand the bring to front message".
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.
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.
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
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.Â
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.Â
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.

I have a very old purple iMac, circa 2000, with an old version of iMovie. I copied the files onto a USB and tried to open/import them onto my new Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.06 GHz iMac. However my new iMac with iMovie '09 won't recognise the files when I try to import them. They stay greyed, not allowing me to import them.
I have an iMac 27 (end of year 2009) I5.It has 1 TB internal and I want to replace it with a 2 TB internal. I have time machine backups on an external hard drive that has been connected via Firewire. I have another iMac (my son's)Imac 24 Intel Core 2 Duo that has it's own separate Time machine backup to it's own separate firewire connected external drive.Both machines are completely up to date with the latest version of Lion and all other necessary software updates.When the internal hardrive is replaced - I want to use my latest time machine backup to create one profile on the imac and then use my son's latest time machine back up for a second profile.The end goal being to have everything from my current set up ie: apps, documents, itunes, etc existing in one profile and everything in my son's current set up existing in the other profile.We can both be administrators for the time being as well.I should note even though we both have some of the same apps, we both also have other apps that the other does not.
My profile will be using about 900 gigs of total space.My son's profile will be using about 250 gigs of total space.This is temporary until the new iMac is released.Then I will want to transfer my profile to that leaving my son's intact on the iMac 27 I5.I realize that during the temporary period that Time Machine will be making backups of this entire two profile setup, which I am now understanding as I write this will create a new issue for me when I want to transfer only my profile to the new computer as well.But one bridge to cross at a time, I guess.I need to do this because we must bring his current computer to my father - as his iMac G5 is inoperable. We have been doing this round robin hand me down in our family since IMac DV special edition :-)
My wife and I each have iPods and each have our own computers with our own iTunes libraries. We have a wireless router and want to play music from our computers to a hifi system. If I purchase an Airport Express, is it possible that my wife and I can both play music from our separate computers to the one Airport Express Base Station (obviously not at the same time)?
