Why wont my camera import my videos?

8.2 megapixel kodak camera image

mkrupanski

I have a Kodak 8.2 megapixel camera and I just took a video, went to iPhoto, tried to import, then iPhoto froze. It didn't work in iMovie either. Is there something i can download to import video from my camera for Mac?

Answer
As far as I know, kodak csptures video in mov format which is a container format, so it may contain the codec that imovie could not recognize. So you need to change the file extension to dv--most friendly to imovie according to my knowledge. Read this tutorial. Just evaluate by yourself.

Hi, mov is the video format that comes form kodak easyshare camera. It is container format which may contain many codec that software cannot recognize. You could try a professional converting program to change the file extention, like kodak mov to wmv, avi for windows media player, etc. Read this tutorial. Hope it could help u.
