How to make the Flip Mino HD import into iMovie 09
I just picked up a new Flip Mino HD and it’s pretty nice, but I was having problems getting it to import properly into iMovie 09. Likewise iMovie 09 was failing to import a number of other video files for no apparently good reason. Others have reported that import “just works”, but not for me.
I finally narrowed it down to bad QuickTime plugins. I had probably two dozen QuickTime plugins in /Library/QuickTime that I had accumulated over the years. Many of them I probably don’t need any longer thanks to Perian. I compared these to a stock Leopard install and removed everything else.
Once I removed these from the folder, everything worked fine. I can even import through the “import from camera” interface and not just via file import, as some have reported. The following files are in my /Library/QuickTime folder now, which include the stock Leopard plugins, as well as Flip4Mac and Perian:
- AC3MovieImport.component
- AppleIntermediateCodec.component
- AppleMPEG2Code.component
- Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
- Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
- Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
- Perian.component
I kept all of the other ones around, in case it turns out that I need them, but so far so good.
