Adobe Photo Downloader stopped working; can't import from a DVD?

I use Premiere Elements 4 (loaded with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6) on Windows Vista.
When I attempt to import video from a DVD (via Get Media > DVD import) I am unable to do so and the message
ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER HAS STOPPED WORKING is produced by Windows.
I would value any help with this problem!
Many thanks, Don Varleyhall

Well, if it was produced in an Adobe program, then it should be 100% DVD-compliant. The menuing structure should not be an issue, as it can with other programs (Roxio and Nero come to mind), or from a DVR-DVD unit. I have never seen one of those that did a DVD-compliant disc.
This might point to something else going on.
As a test, grab, or create a short Project in PrE with Menus, and then Burn it to Disc. Test this back in PrE, and see if it behaves exactly the same way. If not, then something might be odd with your first disc, or there could be some other issue. If the Importer fails again, I'd think about doing a Repair Install.
If the test works, the first thing that I would do would be to Copy your DVD-Video. One can use the free burning utility, ImgBurn to do this, if they do not have Roxio, Nero or some other DVD Copy utility.
As a thought, there are a lot of other programs, that can get in the way of many operations in PrE. You might find some tips on setting up your computer for an editing session, in this ARTICLE. Then, test with your DVD again.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Adobe Flash download stops working after I press run. It worked fine with Explorer before I went to Forefox

    error message reads " adobe flash download has stopped working. Windows will notify you if there is a fix" or something like that. I have tried to download about 10 times over 3 days. I need help. I transferred over to Firefox just this week from IE. I had no problems with Adobe with that program. But I cannot download it onto Firefox. Very frustrating. I have Windows Vista on this laptop.

  • Can you import from a DVD or file?

    I have not yet gotten my Macbook. I haven't had any time with iMovie yet either. My question is I want to edit and re-record some home movie footage. It has either been imported to my old computer as an AVI file, or it's on a DVD recorded from a camcorder to a set top DVD recorder. I see it's easy enough to connect a firewire camcorder to a Mac and capture/edit with iMovie. But can you grab video from other sources, such as the ones I listed? Like playing back the dvd in the drive and capturing the video from the dvd in real time? Thanks.

    Hi Icseds:
    You will need to convert those files and the DVD into something that iMovie can import.

  • How can I import from homemade DVD to iMovie ?

    In converting VHS to DV in iMov I use the original 1988 camcorder for obvious tracking reasons. However, I have one tape that was left in the hot sun on my dashboard and, no surprise, is very flaky, but only in camcorder playback. This happened years ago and I had to transfer the (tape only) into a new cartridge. And since I was playing back from a newer VCR it did as well as could be expected. Then last year I put all my VHS tapes onto DVD thru a Panasonic HD/DVD recorder. Since my homemade DVD has no copy protection why can't I import into iMovie? My only other option is to copy from Panasonic to DV tape and then import to iMov and I worry about quality losses with only S video coupling. All my tapes went to HD and DVD in XP mode (1 hour per DVD).

    Hi,
    See this thread: QuickTimeKirk, "copying dvd to imovie project" #1, 08:53pm Oct 9, 2005 CDT
    You'll need to convert the dvd back to a form iMovie can import, details are in that discussion. Hope that helps.

  • Adobe Photo-Downloader, can't reactivate it after changing driveletter of CF-card

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with the reactivation of the Adobe Photo-Downloader and don't know how to solve it.
    After I have changed the driveletter of the CF-Cardreader to drive B the downloader wouldn't recognice the insertion of a CF-Card. When I start it manualy there comes the message "not files found".
    In the explorer I see the card and the files; under "computerverwaltung" -> "Datentraegerverwaltung" (sorry, I don't know the english words) I can also see the CF-Card.
    It is the same, when I change the driveletter. What can I do to reactivate this ?
    System: Windows XP pro
    Lightroom 1.0
    all windows updates
    1 GB memory

    That happened to me until I did an Import in LR, then the auto-load worked every time after that.

  • I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
    As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
    Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
    n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
    As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
    Be well...

    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from

  • While trying to open printer properties, Adobe Photoshop CC stopped working. How can we resolve this?

    Hi everyone,
    I've some problems about Adobe CC Series. For example, when I'm working in Photoshop then try to open printer properties, Adobe photoshop cc stopped working. Illustrator and InDesign have same problem. I've not got this problem in Adobe CS6 Series. Can you help me pleae?

    Hi Gguadagno,
    For the problem that the issue is not happening on a different Account, Adobe does have a KB trying to save your orriginal account:
    Windows:http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-user-account-2. html
    Mac:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-user-account.ht ml
    Folowing these steps should actually result in either that you are able to work on your original Account, or that you at least did everything possible (according to Adobe) to save your account.
    You should not be required to use a Second Email for using Photoshop, This does not make much sense, Your AdobeID and OS Account are (or at least should) not (be) linked to eachother.
    Hopefully this will help you to work with the original Account again.

  • "Adobe Bridge has stopped working"

    Just installed CS2 Version 9.0.  Having "Adobe Bridge has stopped working"  Windows 7 Pro 64.  Is there a solution to this problem?
    Thanks?

    Curt,
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    Bridge had worked before.  When I refer to BRIDGE I mean that I go to a
    folder of photos in PS and select file/browse to open.  This feature
    does work with other folders of photos.  It was when I downloaded photos
    from my cell phone into a folder and in PS went to file/browse the
    browser will open and then I get a message "Adobe Bridge has stopped
    working."
    I can still go to another photo folder in PS and select file/browse and
    it will work, the problem is with the photos from my cell photo.
    Do you have any ideas.
    I have the latest  versions of PS.
    Thanks,
    Jack

  • After installation of cs4 extended upgrade update installations get "adobe setup has stopped working

    I've used CS3 and CS4 expanded (upgrade) on my older computer with Windows XP and though slow, mainly after cs4 was installed, they worked well. I've recieved a new computer for christmas and am moving my CS3 and CS4 expanded (upgrad) to the new computer and am having some problems.
    My new computer setup is this.....
    Windows Vista , Premium Home edition (65bit) with SP1
    Intel Core i7-920 Quad Core Processor
    RAM -3GB DDR3
    Amount of free disk space. 653 GB
    Make/Model of Video Card. - ATI Radeon HD 4850
    CS3 installs fine though on execution photoshop says that it prefers a dua core processor I click the continue button and it seems to run fine.
    After installing CS3 I restart and upload CS4, which takes a long time!, then run bridge to install updates and thats where my first problem occurs.
    When the updates are installing I get this message...."Adobe setup has stopped working" and windows looks for a solution which of course isn't there, ha!
    So I've tried to use CS4 without the updates, run bridge, select a photo to open in photoshop and after photo opens in photoshop an error message comes up saying this "the specified modul could not be found C:\programfiles\commonfiles\adobe\Adobe Version Cue C44\client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL" and when I x out the error box photoshop closes, unable to use it any further (not bridge though)
    I suspect this error message comes up because I can't do the updates? Either way I sure could use some help here!
    Oh, and I've deactivated and reinstalled and the same happended after reinstallation.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    People like me, who distrust Adobe's updater, get the updates from the Adobe download site. That way you have control and you only get what you need. For example, if you are not working with colleagues on a network you don't need Version Cue.
    Don't worry about the message regarding the processor. Adobe's installers are just as bad as their automatic updates and your processor is simply too new and they are not up-to-date. You may get similar false alarms with Bridge.
