howdy,
the other night a fired and I attempted to down load some film of
Sunday School kids to make some clips to show on sunday morning, from
a Canon mini dv camera. But alas for some reason the connection via
firewire failed- we figured something wrong with the cable, because
the same thing happened when we connected to his PC.
We ended up borrowing a another camera and laptop form a golfing pro
friend - (its good being in a church were so many people have
modern computers cameras and the like - shame only 2 of use macs)
any way we got the movie clip on the camera onto the lap top via fire
wire via microsoft movie maker.
dunno what format the file became, anyway as far as I know iMovie
only accepts DV as the input file, so we used some DVD software to
create a mpeg2 file hoping that would be openable on my mac.
When I got home, Quicktime says that the 650MB mpeg file ins not a
file format that quicktiem understands? - oh bloody hell mate
so my question is, if a movie is made and loaded onto pc, how do we
get it onto a mac, so that is useable and useful.
chow
- mpeg file not openable gary dorn
