How Wonderful to load 2014 FIFA World Cup XAVC in FCP for editing and sharing


If you have the channes to got to Brazil and record some XAVC video clips of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Game, you may plan to edit XAVC files in FCP, just keep reading to learn how.

The FIFA World Cup is, arguably, the world’s greatest single sports event nowadays. Footaball fans have gone to the heated discussion to guest the most splendid match in 2014 FIFA World Cup and for the most truehearted fan, if you have free time and sufficient money, the most awesome thing is heading to Brazil for watching this world-anticipated World Cup on live. And probably you will have your lucky day to come across your favorite Lionel Andrés Messi, Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, Zinedine Yazid Zidane and more. Oh, that's pretty cool, right?



In case you take a XAVC camera like Sony F55 to record 2014 FIFA World Cup Video, and get some 4K, 2K, 1080P and 720P videos. You may have the quesion: Can I load World Cup XAVC shootings into FCP for editing on Mac? 
The answer is "No". Don't worry about this. This guide will show you two ways to import and edit World Cup XAVC recordings in FCP X on Mac.

Sony has introduced XAVC Apple FCP X plugin for FCP X along with the Sony utility. This plugin allows you to use the log and transfer fuction to edit 4K, 2K and HD videos captured with XAVC camcorders. Start editing 2014 FIFA World Cup XAVC video immediately upon import into Final Cut Pro X, without converting!

Sony Plugin for XAVC in Final Cut Pro X (FCP-X) 

Note: This plug-in requires:- Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 or higher for XAVC format

If your Final Cut Pro version is lower than 10.0.8, you will can't use this plugin. Install, run, log, transfer... This is a long and painful process. And you can't edit World Cup XAVC files in FCP natively. I think this way isn't good for you.

To accomplish your goal, here is an easier way to convert XAVC to prores codec—the most compatible video codec for FCP using Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac, which is a great World Cup Video Converter for Mac. It can not only convert World Cup XAVC footage to Apple ProRes codec, but also guarantee smooth editing.

Step 1: Click  "Add Video" icon to load your XAVC video to World Cup Video Converter for Mac.



Step 2: Choose Apple ProRes 422 codec for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X. 

Click the "Format" option, and move mouse cursor to Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422(*.mov) as output format. 

apple-prores-422

If you plan to travel to Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, follow the recommendations below to help you stay safe and healthy.What can travelers do to protect themselves?Before your trip:

Schedule a health appointment at least 4–6 weeks before you depart on your trip. Talk to your doctor or nurse about vaccines and medicines recommended for Brazil. See the Find a Clinic webpage for help in finding a travel medicine clinic near you.

CDC recommends all travelers be up-to-date on routine vaccines, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), polio, and flu.
Other recommended vaccines may include hepatitis A, typhoid, hepatitis B, yellow fever, and rabies.

Medicine for malaria and travelers’ diarrhea may be recommended.

Consider purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance.

Pack a travel health kit.

Monitor travel warnings and alerts and read travel tips from the US Department of State.

Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).

Leave a copy of your itinerary, contact information, credit cards, and passport with someone at home.

During your trip:

Follow security and safety guidelines. US travelers may be targets for criminals during mass gatherings.

If possible, don't travel at night, avoid questionable areas, and travel with a companion.

If you drink alcohol, do it in moderation. Drunk people are more likely to hurt themselves or other people, engage in risky sex, or get arrested.

Carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp; leave the actual passport securely in your hotel.

Carry the contact information for the nearest US embassy or consulate in Brazil, and local emergency service numbers: 190 (police), 192 (ambulance), and 193 (fire department). Note that these local emergency phone numbers are available in Portuguese only.

Follow all local laws and social customs.

Do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry.

Always keep hotel doors locked, and store valuables in secure areas.

If possible, choose hotel rooms on the 2nd through the 6th floors. A room on the 1st floor of a hotel may provide easier access for criminals. Rooms on the 7th floor and above may be difficult to escape in the event of a fire.

Follow food and water safety guidelines: Eating contaminated food and drinking contaminated water can cause illnesses such as hepatitis A, typhoid fever, and travelers’ diarrhea. Read about how to prevent these diseases by visiting the Safe Food and Waterpage. Beware of food from street vendors, ice in drinks, and other foods and drinks that may be contaminated and cause travelers’ diarrhea.

Prevent mosquito bites and use insect repellent: Diseases spread by mosquitoes, such as malaria, dengue, and yellow fever are common throughout Brazil. Read more about ways to prevent bug bites by visiting the Avoid Bug Bites page. You may also need to take prescription medicine to protect against malaria or get a vaccine against yellow fever. Talk to your doctor or nurse about prevention steps that are right for you.

Follow guidelines for hot climates: Dehydration and heat-related illnesses are common during sporting events. Drink plenty of (bottled!) water, keep cool, and wear sunscreen. Read more about how to prevent these conditions by visiting the Travel to Hot Climates and Sun Exposure pages.

Avoid swimming in fresh water—lakes and rivers. Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection that can be spread in fresh water that may cause serious health problems.

Reduce your risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): While celebrating, people may encourage travelers to engage in risky sex, especially if alcohol or drugs are involved. Carry condoms that were purchased from a reliable source. Read more about how to prevent these conditions by visiting the Traveler STD page.

Choose safe transportation: Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries. 
Reduce your exposure to germs: Wash your hands often, and avoid contact with people who are sick.

If you feel sick during your trip—


Talk to a doctor or nurse if you feel seriously ill, especially if you have a fever.

For more information about medical care abroad, see Getting Health Care Abroad and a list of International Joint Commission-accredited facilities.

If you don't speak Portuguese and require assistance with a health issue, see our list of common Portuguese health terms and phrases.

Avoid contact with other people while you are sick.

After your trip:

If you are not feeling well after your trip, you may need to see a doctor. If you need help finding a travel medicine specialist, see Find a Clinic. Be sure to tell your doctor about your travel, including where you went and what you did on your trip. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.

If your doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine for your trip, keep taking the rest of your pills after you return home. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you could still get sick.
Malaria is always a serious disease and may be deadly.
If you become ill with a fever either while traveling in a malaria-risk area or after you return home (for up to 1 year), you should seek immediate medical attention and should tell the doctor about your travel history.

Five Highest Grossing Movies of 2014, Enjoy a Wonderful Movie Summer

The summer season is always an exciting one at the box office, as a whole host of blockbusters will to battle to reign supreme. However, which of summer 2014's blockbusters is set to be the most successful?



Now start to enjoy a Wonderful Movie Summer! You can just image you was found on the ground by the fountain about a fields of a summer stride, lying in the sun, while someone you love was found on the ground beside you, laying by a fountain filled by the summer asleep, in front of you is golden sunshine, summer breeze dabbing you face, you two are immersed in the newest 2013 summer movie, sweet, relax, warm as well as tranquility.

- The Amazing Spider Man 2 (out now)

The Amazing Spider Man 2 has been on general release for a couple of weeks, and while it received a mix response from the critics, it has been bringing in the dough.

In the U.S., the film took a whopping $92 million in its opening weekend: which is $30 million more that the first movie back in 2012.

Not surprisingly, it claimed the #1 spot at the U.S. and UK box office: it took just over £9 million in its opening weekend.

So far, the movie has grossed in excess of $637 million, and is the second highest grossing film of 2014 so far: Captain America: The Winter Soldier is leading the way with $704 million.

At the moment, The Amazing Spider Man 2 is in a great position to come out on top by the end of the summer.



- Godzilla (out now)

Godzilla is another film that we have already been treated to at the beginning of this blockbusters season: and it is a film that is already performing well.

Godzilla posted an impressive opening weekend gross, as it took $93.2 million in the U.S.

It outperformed The Amazing Spider 2 in its first weekend, but failed to surpass the $96.2 opening weekend total posted by Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

In a week, Godzilla has topped the U.S. and UK box office and grossed in excess of $216 million. It is already the tenth highest grossing movie of 2014.

It really is not hard to see why a sequel is already being planned.



- X-Men: Days of Future Past (out now)

X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of the most anticipated films of 2014, and it has hit the big screen this week.

The film opening in the UK at midnight on Wednesday (21st) and in the U.S yesterday (23rd).

The critics are already raving about the film - which sees Bryan Singer return to the director's chair.

It could be the first film of the summer to break the $100 million barrier for an opening weekend in the U.S.

X-Men: The Last Stand broke Memorial Day weekend records when it was released back in 2006, as it took over $102 million.

X-Men: First Class opening with $55 million in 2011. If these two totals combined, it could take a massive amount of money this weekend.



- Maleficent (released 28th May)

Over the last couple of years, we have seen female fronted films/franchises perform well at the box office: Gravity, The Hunger Games, Prometheus & The Heat were all huge successes.

This summer we see Angelina Jolie return to the big screen as she takes on the title role in the new Disney film.

It has been a little hit and miss for Disney's live action films in recent years: John Carter was a bit of a disaster, while the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film performed very well.

Maleficent has a reported budget of $180 million, and Disney has really pushed this film in recent weeks.

While it is unlikely that Maleficent will post huge opening weekend totals, it is going to be interesting to see how this film performs.

 

- How To Train Your Dragon 2 (released 27th June)

No summer is complete without an animation movie, and How To Train Your Dragon 2 is the film not to miss in 2014.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 is the latest offering from DreamWorks, and comes four years after the success of the first.

How To Train Your Dragon grossed over $494 million by the end of its theatrical run: it ended 2010 as the tenth highest grossing movie the year.

I expect How To Train Your Dragon 2 is perform even better. Can it beat it's predecessor's opening weekend haul of $43.7 million?



Other movies to watch out for include Guardians of the Galaxy, Edge of Tomorrow, The Expendables 3 & Jupiter Ascending.

However, I am going to nail my colours to the mask and say X-Men:Days of Future Past will be the highest grossing movie of the summer!!

Recommendation for 2014 Summer Movie Copy, Rip and Conversion

This summer endows us a movie feast. So many wonderful movies are waiting for us to enjoy. However, it is impossible and uneconomic to watch all the newly-released 2014 summer movies in cinema, and here we suggest backup and convert these DVDs to computer with some DVD ripping & coping software.

I think MPEG Streamclip is absolutely fantastic, and the fact that it costs nothing feels like I'm stealing it. But I'm converting a lot more these days, and I'd like to look into things that are little more comprehensive and user friendly. But sometimes I find it might not work and prompt up messages such as “won’t read or open files” or “unrecognized file format”. Other symptoms that you would notice when your MPEG Streamclip is not working is when you have uploaded a video file but the audio is not working. For example, it can't read XAVC video files.


But as we know, MPEG Streamclip doesn't work on Windows 8.1 nor the Mac 10.9 Mavericks. In a case like this, a great MPEG Streamclip alternative is strongly needed.

How to Play DVD with VLC Media Player

In this article, I will share my experience and offer the best way to help you play DVD videos on VLC Media Player for enjoying with ease. 

VLC, also known as VLC Media Player or VideoLan Client, is a universal media player to play almost any video file and even DVD movies. However, VLC can't automatically determine which file on the DVD contains the actual movie. Instead, you must manually load and preview each file in turn, so it can take a bit of time to get things started. But that's the only real obstacle. When you're done, you'll have an mp1v file you can watch in just about any media player (including VLC, natch). Ah, that VLC—it just keeps giving and giving.


An quick workaround I find to solve the issues is to convert the DVD video files to common formats (like AVI, MOV, MPEG, MP4, etc) to fit the local VLC media player with DVDAid from Pavtube. If you are Mac users, you can try Pavtube DVDAid for Mac.

Overall, this program works successfully in DVD to MP4 conversion even you have a bunch of large DVD files. I have tried it to encode DVD to MP4 for playing on my VLC player, it turns out playing any kinds of DVD files smoothly and at original quality. It’s the best software application for Win users. What's more, this converter also supports many of other video formats like MOV,MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPG, etc.

Step 1: Add DVD video files

Run DVD to VLC Converter on your computer, and then click "Load disc" button to import the DVD video files to the converter.



Step 2: Choose H.264 MP4 as output format.

In “Format” drop down list box, you may select best video format for plaing on VLC Media Player.

Here, you are recommended to choose Common Video -> H.264 Video (*.mp4); if you want to get HD MP4 files to use on VLC player, you can choose HD Video -> H.264 HD Video (*.mp4).



Step 3: Start Convert

Click “Convert” in the main interface to start transcoding DVD movie to VLC supported H.264 MP4 format.

After conversion, you can use converted MP4 files and open them with VLC Media Player for playback easiliy and smoothly.

Some other better ways to play DVD

If you still cannot solve the problems, here offers you some of the alternatives that will help you out.

1. Top Best VLC Alternative - Pavtube Video Player


Here Pavtube Video Player is the best alternative to VLC Media Player to play DVD on windows-based computer. It is a professional program in ripping Blu-ray/DVD/HD video  for playback, storage or editing.

2. PowerDVD

PowerDVD is developed by CyberLink Corp. and can play any video, audio, pictures, DVD, Blu-ray and HD movies.  Its high playback image and audio quality makes it famous in the DVD player market. However,  PowerDVD is expensive and its superabundant version usually makes users refused and hard to decide which to choose.

3. BS Player


BS Player is claimed to be the best multimedia player in the world which allows for a wide array of options for Video, DVD, Audio, Radio and TV playback, as well as plays all types of media files. It has now returned with a free version.

But if you want to navigate the DVD menu, you need to purchase it first. Besides, there's no "Play DVD" button, which means you need to upgrade to the pro version as per needs.

How to Play DVD in Windows Media Player easily?

Summary: This article mainly shows you how to open and play DVD in Windows Media Player effortlessly.

Microsoft Windows XP users that do not have a Windows DVD player program installed, DVD codec, or a DVD decoder will be unable to play a DVD movie using the Microsoft Windows Media player to play their DVD movies. Often you'll get an error similar to the below message.


To fix "Cannot Play This DVD" error, you need to 
install suitable DVD codec on your system. Of course, you could purchase commercial DVD decoder from giants like Cyberlink, Corel, Roxio, etc. for better and multimedia experience. However, you could usually use the free DVD codec, like K-lite Codec Pack, Codec Pack (Advanced) and so on. After DVD codec installed, play DVD again in Windows Media Player.

In fact, Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a problem occurred with digital copyright protection. To view your DVD movie on your Windows Media Player,  here is an easier way to solve problems associated with missing DVD decoders: that is to convert/rip your DVD  movies to WMP best supported video format

According to Microsoft, Windows Media Player supported file formats include WMV, AVI, ASF, WMA, etc. Among them, the relatively common used formats are WMV, WMA and AVI.

To reach this goal, Pavtub DVD to WMP Converter is the best tool for you.

Other ways to play DVD with Windows Media Player

As mentioned before, you cannot play a DVD on your laptop or computer if you do not have a Windows DVD player program installed DVD codec, or a DVD decoder. Therefore, you will need to have a third-party software DVD player.



As we know, Microsoft didn’t do away with DVD playback in Windows instead they moved it to the Windows Media Center pack which can be bought at $10. In this case, you will have to pay for the product key. Here I recommended to opt for VLC media player if you are just looking for DVD playback. VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols.

Features: Simple, fast and powerful media player. 

Once the installation is complete, it is time to enjoy your DVD. Watching DVD on VLC is that simple since you only need to open VLC and with the DVD in your drive—click Menu, then Open Disc.

In case you don't want to install so much video player, why not directly convert DVD format to let it play smoothly on any media player? An excellent DVD Ripper- Pavtube DVDAid is ready anytime for you to use. Try it now!
