Currently been trying to wrestle with a video file that I managed to pull of my digital video recorder. Now that it's on my hard drive I want to edit it using iMovie however when I try to 'import movie' it won't recognise it.
I needed to convert it to a format that imovie would recognise; MPEG4,quicktime, .AVI
I used an application called HANDBRAKE to do this and converted the file to an
.m4v file which wasn't recognised. So I converted it to an .avi file and it is still not recognised by imovie.
Looking in forums I found a possible solution was to convert the file to .dv format.
I used a trial version of DropDV which did the job except of course there was a watermark on the video, but I could edit it.
As I began to edit it, I found that the application had dropped the primary audio track and replaced it with a commentary track.
Luckily I saw that as I was about to purchase the full version of DropDV...
Does anyone know of another application that would do this?
I'm really frustrated and would appreciate and help.
Felix.
