You need to demux the files
MPEG files with both video and audio are called muxed files. Unfortunately, quicktime chokes on these when it comes time to convert or import them.
To be able to handle these files in iMovie, you will need to go through an operation called demuxing, which will basically split the file in an audio and a video track. You'll then be able to import these separately and just line them up in the timeline.
An easy way to demux mpeg files on OSX is to use a series of tools called "MissingMpegTools", and in particular their MoreMissingMpegTools. See this site for downloads.
Just get MoreMissingMpegTools, open it, and use the demux optionn.
Hoping that'll help.
Cheers.

Brilliant!
Excellent. Now the fireworks actually sound like fireworks. The shaky, low-res camera video wasn't really very interesting on its own...
You need to demux the files
I downloaded and installed the "More Missing Tools" package, but when I try any of the options, I get a popup : "Where is Toast Titanium 5.1app?" What Is this?
More Missing Mpeg Tools
I went and got the "More Missing Mpeg Tools", but the "MPG DEMUX" button under the "File" column does not bring up a file selection window or anything. The other buttons seem to work. Any ideas on why the DEMUX button doesn't work? I'm trying to import mpgs into Final Cut Express. |
