Your Questions About Movie Download Sites For Mac

Can anyone tell me a good site for different media converters.?

I’m using a Flip Camera with students and they want to put their little movies into Powerpoint. When they download from the camera they are MPeg4. I’ve tried converting them to AVI and we get sound but no picture. I’ve changed them to wmv and they are fine but the trouble is the kids are on PCs and I have to use a Mac to convert them because I can’t work out how to do it on a Windows machine! Someone has suggested that we put a converter on the PC to change the format but it’s for little kids so it has to be easy. Any suggestions?

Why is my hard drive corrupt?

So over the past month, I’ve downloaded a handful of programs for ripping movies to my hard drive (none of which have worked, by the way). I can’t remember which ones they were besides HandBrake, but I remember checking on Yahoo! Answers and other reference sites to verify their authenticity. They seemed fine to me.

But my computer’s been running quite slowly for the past day or so, and my dad just checked for issues. The app he ran to diagnose issues said that our hard drive was corrupt. I have a Mac with the latest OS update. I have just emptied the Trash bin file, as my dad and I thought that a full Trash might have been the issue of the slowness I’ve been experiencing.

But now I’m not so sure… Help!

-Why is it corrupt?
-How do I repair it?

Should i get a macbook pro even if i dont do any multimedia stuff?

I just need a good laptop for homework and a little bit of gaming like crysis.

online sites told me macs are only good at multimedia and its one of the top computers in pcmag. I dont do any multimedia other than downloading songs, thats about it. I dont store photos, movies, or even edit them cuz its boring and pointless. so for me ilife is gonna be useless program for me if i get mac. but i want one cuz it says its good.

my parents told me i can get a laptop up to $3000. please help, i just want a nice laptop that can play crysis (low setting is good enough), oblivion, homework, surfing web, and general stuff.

If u can list other laptop alternatives pls list em!
plz help, im only 16 and hardly no anything about computers other than good graphics card is needed to play games.
also i dont mind if its vista cuz my hp desktop has vista and it runs fine on crysis and obvilion and office 2007 works fine on it.

How to add text to a video–what program should I use?

I would like to add text to the bottom of a video and have it say there the whole video. The video is in .mov and .wmv format.

I have tried Windows Movie Maker, QuickTime Pro, and Adobe Premiere and none of them work….

I have Windows Movie Maker, but it doesn’t allow me to put the text at the bottom of the video…and have it stay there.

I just purchased QuickTime for $29.95 because their site says that it allows you to add text to a video. I followed the directions but it doesn’t work well at all.

I’ve also downloaded Adobe Premiere but I found it very difficult to use, and I could not figure out how to do anything.

Does anyone know of a good program that I can use to add text to a video and do other editing….and that is easy to use?

I have Windows computer, not a mac.

Thanks!

converting vids ? [youtube related]?

hello – i wanted to upload things to youtube [most popular vid sharing site] but its 330mb so i wanted to make it into smaller vids, like cutting them.
