I recently captured a video from a website using screen capture software because I want to use it in a Final Cut Pro project. I captured and converted the flash file to mpeg-4 using Replay media catcher. Then I converted the mpeg-4 to .mov with MPEG Streamclip. I can get them to play back normal in just quicktime player, but neither of them will play in the viewer after I import them into Final Cut.... What is the problem?? They try to play back and I get the never ending spinning circle because it's all hung up. I can't figure out how to fix this... Any help would be appreciated:)

What does VLC say about the Media/Codec information ?

Even that your problem is fixed by now, this would be very intresting to know, so the next reader/person with the same problem yould know.

you should probably start by capturing the screencast on your mac without the virtual PC. or as Brian mentions below, use a Fire Fox extension, i prefer Fast Video Download, then convert using MPEG Streamclip to whatever format you need for FCP.

what screencasting software are you using that made a flash file? did you capture on a PC then move to mac?

I was using Replay Media Catcher...it was technically on a PC. I'm running VM-ware fusion on my Mac; so I have a virtual PC. And yes, then I moved to my Mac... – unknown (google) Oct 21 at 11:36

Likely not an accepted file FCP can see regardless of the file extension of MOV regardless what you try with the software combination being use

When downloading video from the web I use:

Works in FCP all the time...

I solved the problem! Thanks for your help. For some reason it couldn't play more than 2 seconds in the viewer in FCP, but when I added it to the time-line and rendered it out, it played fine? Anyway, Thank you for your feedback... I'm definitely going to try the Firefox route next time for downloading video from the web. Thanks again! – unknown (google) Oct 21 at 11:40
