After downloading Quicktrime Pro for $30. that runs the .mov perfectly, but can't save in the WMM format or w/o losing some of the quality, I downloaded Corel's Video Studio 12, Super, Vegas Movie Studio, and used their trial software. I either didn't like their interface or still had some problems. What I did find that could open the file perfectly, edit and save in numerous formats is a program called "Magix Movie Edit Pro 15" you can get a free trial. I like it and I ordered it from Amazon for $72.

What should I do to import movies from ContourHD into iMovie '09?

I tried to import the sample movies downloaded from your website and they work. But my movies won't import. I also tried to open in Quicktime and save as Quicktime independent movie, but nothing.

I have Quicktime Pro, and latest updates of iMovie and my MAC.

Thanks,

Marc.

Hi Nate,

Everything HD!

Stream: 01-Panrico.MOV
Path: ~/Movies/VholdR/Sortida 20 Juny 2009/01-Panrico.MOV

Length: 0:09:51
Size: 362.19 MB
BitRate: 5.14 Mbps

Video:
Ambarella AVC encoder, 1280 × 720, 29.97 fps, 5.07 Mbps

Audio:
Audio MPEG-4 mono, 48 kHz, 64 kbps

File:
01-Panrico.MOV (362.19 MB)

When I select "Import movies..." a window appears saying "Optimizing movie" but it instantly goes away and nothing happens.

I tried it on my computer and it didn't work.

But then I tried in another mac and it worked! So, It must be a problem with my installation, because the two computers have the same version of imovie 09.

Sorry for not trying it before posting, but apple programs normally don't fail like this! hehehe

thank you!

Has there been any progress with known software for Vista 64 bit to allow me to import edit and export with the VholdR sd camera, I am still unable to use or find any software that alows me to edit my videos. Any suggestions short of buying a pc with xp on it would be great.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am trying to import ContourHD files (.MOV) into my Final Cut Pro HD (4.5 version), but it says: "File Error: 1 file(s) reconginzed, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." Can anyone help pls??
Chris

HD. Do you think FCP version 4.5 can read it?

None of this is helping. Does -anyone- know of software I can use to edit my ContourHD videos, that -won't- cause my computer to drag to a crawl? I did several regular HD movies recently, but when trying to use Adobe Premiere Elements on them, it performs -so- slowly I cannot actually complete any operations! The movies -play- on my computer fine, but trying to edit them is an exercise in patience! This is a -3ghz- Pentium 4 chip with a Geforce 9800 GT -overclocked- video card, I can't see how this isn't powerful enough to edit video!

I'd love to use Windows Movie Maker, but the Contour outputs in .MOV files, which Movie Maker says of course, is an invalid format when trying to open them!
