(Not) Importing .MOV videos from a DB5000 sport cam...
Well I put in a Samsung Class 10 card and it all worked out great with a 1 minute test clip. All my players played it, MediaInfo looked different, Vegas 14 opened it, render to a MP4 was fine, etc. So it looks like that cheaper card was the problem and generally I only use Class 10 cards and I do not know where that card came from even. So, lessons learned! Thanks for all your help once again! Bill

(Not) Importing .MOV videos from a DB5000 sport cam...
Thanks for looking into this. It is just a short clip. Perhaps they sent me a bad camera. I will go to the company and see what they can tell me. The camera does not have a audio only record mode. The instructions said to use only a high quality micro media card. Mine is a "HC 32 GB" Suppose I could buy the best 4 or 8 GB micro card and do some test filming. I have other cams that use that style of card. Thanks again. Bill

(Not) Importing .MOV videos from a DB5000 sport cam...
Nick: Here is the Google+Drive link to one of those MOV video files. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6aLYCR8KOJvNGpfOVVDS292dzg/view?usp=sharing Also I tried to dl FFMpeg but must not have the PATH typed in correctly. The 4 files open up okay but in the CMD all I get is : “ffmpeg” is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch command... It is in this folder: This PC>New Volume C> Also a side issue I tried to view the files via the micro HDMI to a Samsung smart TV and my PC monitor's HDMI and the source could not be found. Take care, Bill

Nick: I tried Xmedia Recode and it would only encode one of the files the rest failed. Can you try this one as a sample? (The sample crashed the forum then a smaller file would not finish loading) Sorry, Thanks, Bill

NormanPCN: Thanks for your insights with MediaInfo. I don't know why it cannot read the whole video file. I might try things on a win 7 pc I have with Vegas Pro 13. I am also setting up Blender with the video interface as default. Thanks, Bill

(Not) Importing .MOV videos from a DB5000 sport cam...
Nick: I do have the latest Media Info it is: 0.7.99 Anyway here's a update. I found the camera should be hooked up to the USB port so that you can select the files for importing through Windows. So the whole file structure was different looking. I opened Vegas Pro 14 and was able to import the first 2 clips, one at a time. It would not do a group import. After those 2 it balked and suggested I install QT - Quick Time version 7.7.9. - which I have done. I have viewed a clip or two on their player and they look just dandy. I went back to Aiseesoft converter and tried like 80% of their conversion options but none would fly. Am I going to have to try other converters like Handbrake, etc. to see which one may work? Do I need a earlier version of QT so that it cooperates better with Vegas? I did dl Handbrake and it would not encode a single file and when I tried the folder import version it would convert the first file but then stop doing the rest. Someone suggested Blender. Maybe I can copy the files to a folder each and trick HB into doing the first one only? LOL ( I have about 7 critical files.) Signing off for now. Check later,Thanks Nick!!

JVC-GDR 93 tape cassette to a Hauppauge wintv hdr 2250 tuner card...
david-tu: That's kinda what I was thinking. I was hopeful the video card had a capture utility. And if it's not connected - or anything else is - to a firewire card how exactly is it used? Can it be activated? What is the best branded Firewire card in your opinion? Here is a nice card: http://www.ebay.com/itm/StarTech-com-4-Port-PCI-1394a-FireWire-Adapter-Card-with-Digital-Video-Editing-K-/182763597768?epid=1586916330&hash=item2a8d8f2fc8:g:ySUAAOSw8FRZubmM For the S Video option I have a email into Hauppauge and I will see what they say. That creates a MPEG 2 video file. Thanks, Bill

Formatting a micro sd card...
ushere - Yes I have the word "Administrator" under my user name. Have you tried formatting a 32 GB micro sd card that has had previous files deleted off it? david-tu: It is a 32 GB card. The card format is fat32. It says it is write protected. I can try to format it in my Canon Powershot and see if my new DB 5000 sportcam will read the card then. YES! That worked. Using other technology to do what windows cannot easily do. I ran a complete 1 minute test film, save to Pro 14, render to internet 1080 and playback was fine in POT PLAYER. Thanks!! Bill

How to convert Xaomi's .XEM (MJPEG) to .mpg, etc?
Hello. I have MediaInfo installed now (thanks John Dennis) and here is the text result of a exported file from the active timeline of Xeoma. Note that Vegas 13 Pro could not open this file. Windows Media Player would open it but every 1/2 second there is a brief stutter. Otherwise looks good from a Logitech C920 USB 2.0 webcam. Thanks DonaldT I was able to figure out the export range set but cannot find the built in player or how to bulk convert the archives in the Explorer view.

C Drive re-install
I will look into this option with my tech person also and understand they can have a higher level of reliability. In reading about the SSD's, they can have a different type of problem with errors. It seems a multi-pronged system of backups is the best way but takes up more time to implement. I am adding my 500 GB USB type external drive as a "quick dump" for finished video projects and pics along with the other options I discussed earlier. Then at the 5.5 year mark for my E drive I will consider scrapping that for a new one. Thanks for your thoughts, Bill

C Drive re-install
Hard Drive crash update: My C drive did fail in a bad way along with the D drive I had My Pictures on. However one of the last things I was able to do on the C Drive was copy “My Documents” files to the safe E Drive. Then my Tech friend rescued My Pictures from the D Drive then that drive crashed also. These were 2 Western Digital drives about 6.5 years old and installed together. I think it is unusual for both to fail in the same week's time. Tonight I have been reloading my programs and keeping an eye on what is a “new” computer with a Samsung 500GB SDD as the new C Drive. (The E drive is a 2TB HDD about 3.5 years old at this time. Will it fail at 6 years also?) We also installed a 770 vid card as a companion to my 970 main card. I have not played with that combo much yet. After I installed Vegas Pro 13 all my videos opened okay expect on 70% of them I had to re-link the pictures aspect. It found them very quickly and I have a fresh save of every video. I consider myself very lucky!!! Our next plans are to use my new Zoolz cloud backup 2 TB account for said pictures and videos backup and a weekly system image. We will buy another SSD to set up a RAID1 to further protect my C Drive files. Good luck everyone, Bill

C Drive re-install
Update: Within a few days of posting that message the C drive completely locked up so I have bought a 500GB Samsung SSD drive to replace it- $137.00 on sale. The last task I had time for was to copy my C drive "My Documents" folder to my D drive ( a 500 GB HDD) on the same PC. That is where I store My Pictures. I also have a 2 TB HDD that has "My Videos" on it. My tech friend took out the Pictures HDD to see if his USB based hard drive reader could see the picture files on his PC. He noticed things locking up so he aborted the process. He put the Samsung in place of the old C Drive but I think we are going to try to pull the Picture and Video files from those 2 drives by seeing if other PC's I have can view the files in question. I can't imagine the other 2 drives being bad. I did test a Sony 13 Pro folder project cut and paste to a USB WD Passport drive and reversed them back to my 2nd PC to see if everything opened okay. This was the original media, a rendered .mpg4 and the .veg file/.bak. At first the project re-opening stalled at 12%. I used Task Manger to close out and the 2nd opening it opened okay and seems in order. Anyway later this week we will tackle loading Win 7 to Win 10 64 bit Pro to the SSD and figure out what to do about my 2 storage drives. I think I have a hard drive reader that is serial cable based as opposed to a USB and have a year 2000 XP Pro PC and a basic HP desktop with Win 7 on it to see if one of them can offload some media I need. Right now things are pretty much a disaster. I just got Zoolz Cloud Storage but did not have time to upload about 2 years worth of of project videos. I did have plans to use Spider Oak as my cloud storage but recently they went to a subscription model and that affected my back up plans. My original media is in a safe place and I have 52 videos on You Tube. Thanks, Bill

C Drive re-install
Thanks for all the helpful tips!! Over the weekend the sound failed on the PC and the next day another taskbar/Cortana lockup occurred. No error messages. We are going to get a new SSD-SATA type drive, load Windows 8.1 and then DL Win 10 Pro 64bit. I don't have a specific need get a disc image per se so that will make the changeover much faster and easier. After all that is done I will report back. Thanks again!! Bill

C Drive re-install
Actually we have discussed the role of SSD's in this issue but can a SSD drive function as the actual C Drive? What he has done is install his programs - not the OS per se - to another HDD drive and link the EXE to the C drive. This makes it easier to reformat/install the OS if need be. Or should we get a new HDD and a new SSD and put the Win OS on the SSD as the C drive?? Thanks, Bill
