CS4: timing problem

Hello
I have CS4 for couple of years and never had any problems. Now I try to make a project compiling 2 AVI (divx) files. Both import well, but when i start preview, one of them works as usual, and the second shows video approx. 10 times slower (i.e. 4.5 min instead of 45 min). Sound works well. When i try to work with that clip video in effect zone, I see normal speed. But in effects window I can't edit the problematic clip.
What am I to do to correct the situation?
Note: K-lite codecs pack is installed, ffdshow enabled.
Regards,
J.

That's the kind of answer I like better (but not the best).
Of course, I can remove the k-lite, but that's not the clue. Thanks for being so kind telling me the name of uncompressed format: maybe it will help.
BUT: is there anything else?
I mean, one file is good (as they were always good before), second one with same compression type and other parameters is not, and it fails in one app only, and fails strange.
Just reflexing.
Regards,
J.

  • CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

    Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
    1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
    2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
    3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
    4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
    Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
    And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
    Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
    For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
    NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

  • Can anyone help me with Labview/GPIB timing problems?

    I am trying to use a very simple VI (downloaded from the NI site) to control a Newport 1830C optical power meter.
    I have been spending most of my time trying to use the VI issue a command to read the current displayed power. When I run the VI normally, I get no response from the meter, and the VI simply terminates without any error message. (The "remote" indicator does light on the meter, though, so it seems to be receieving the command.)
    However, when I run the VI in the "highlight exectution" mode, everything seems to work just fine, and I receive a correct reading from the meter! Needles to say, this makes it really hard to debug the problem.
    My guess is that I have some kind of timing problem, and t
    he "highlight execution" feature fixes it by introducing delays. Is this correct? If so, how can I achieve the same thing by putting in delays by hand?
    thanks, Whitney White

    Whitney,
    I agree that this is very likely to be a timing issue. VIs run much slower in highlight execution mode, therefore your instrument may need more time to prepare the data you have requested. Try wiring a delay inline prior to the GPIB reads and/or writes, or try using Service Requests (SRQs) to give the instrument enough time to generate the data it needs to send back to the computer.
    Another possibility is that your instrument may not be IEEE 488 compliant. Some older instruments indicate that they are ready to receive data before they really are. Try changing the GPIB bus timing to the slowest setting (in the GPIB Configuration Utility). This only affects the time that the GPIB controller waits before valid data is on the bus and the DAV line i
    s asserted (a step in the GPIB handshaking that occurs each time a byte of information is sent to the device) so this may not be effective.
    Lastly, you may wish to try the instrument driver for your instrument. There is a contributed driver at this location: LabVIEW Traditional Instrument Driver: Newport Optical Power Meter 1830C. A 'contributed driver' means that someone outside of National Instruments wrote the driver and then submitted it for posting. This driver also contains a good example of adding a time out.

  • CS4 Export Problem

    I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing.  The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive.  I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive.  I have looked in temp files but they not there.  Can anyone advise me on this?

    That's done it S.V.  Many thanks!

    Subject: CS4 Export Problem
    I'm a newbie so don't take my word as gospel buuuuttt....
    If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

  • Timing problems with AU Ivory Piano + ESB and Logic 7.2

    I have problems with Ivory and Logic 7.2:
    The Ivory (AU version 1.50) plays well in tempo, but when I want to bounce (export track as audio file) the Ivory plays totally out of tempo.
    Even when I touch the record button on audio tracks or when I want to record my mix on 2 audiotracks, the Ivory plays out of tempo.
    Even freezing the Ivory track gives the same problem.
    Then I need to go back to my last saved version.
    The same actions with Emagic, Native Instruments and Spectrasonics AU plugins, and everything works fine.
    I throwed away already the Ivory prefs, no positive results.
    My Ivory sample files are on a separate 400 GB internal disk, and my Audio I'm recording on a external Glyph disk.
    I think I have this problem since I've upgraded from Logic 7.1.1 to 7.2 but I'm not sure. I didn't worked long with Logic 7.1.1.
    I don't work in Protools, but I use the DAE and Direct TDM (no Core Audio)
    It happens in the most simple application: no DAE or AU plug-ins, only one Ivory AU plug-in.
    This is my configuration:
    Ivory AU (Audio object-Direct TDM-Instr) output ESB 1-2 -> input ESB1 2 (Audio Object-DAE) -> Output 1-2 of my digidesign interfaces
    Ivory becomes totally unusable for me this way. Is someone having the same problems?
    Suggestions?
    Wim Claes
    Setup
    Logic 7.2
    Protools 7.1cs4
    192, 2x96i, 1x 96 interface
    G5 dual 2,7   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   4 GB RAM

    I tried already a lot of things, but it is very clear:
    1. Instantiating Ivory as AU- Ivory plays in tempo
    2. Record enable an audio track in the arrange window - Ivory plays out of tempo
    This happens with the default song of logic, no other plugins or AU-instruments are instanciated.
    I can not find a way to convert my Ivory-midi to audio without the timing problems;
    Bouncing, freezing, record to audio, export as audio file: all those things result in timing problems.
    I tried this all with emagic plugins (ES2...) and Native Instruments plugins and then I don't have the tempo problem

  • [Q] Refreshing/Timing problem 21:9-monitor

    Hi fellas!
    I'm using a Macbook Pro 15" non-retina (Windwith GT-650Mtogether with my AOC q2963pm 21:9 monitor through HDMI. What I have encountered is what I think is a timing-problem. I cannot find the settings which works perfect.
    Either, the screen looks a bit grainy at the max resolution of 2560x1080 with the games working (this with Atomatic timing in NVIDIA settings),
    or I have a crispy display, but the games ends with a flimmering and black screen after I quit or Alt+Tab out of a fullscreen-game which causes the NVIDIA-driver to stop responding and restarting (using CVT Reduced Blank).
    I had to create a custom resolution in order to use the full 2560x1080 resolution instead of just 1920x1080. I tried to manually create something that should meet the requirements, but with no luck. Either, the display goes black, or I get the same problems as listed above.
    Here are the specs of the screen:
    Resolution: 2560x1080 @ 60Hz
    Scanning Frequency: H: 30-99 KHz / V: 50-76 Hz
    Pixel Frequency: 185.58 MHz
    Does someone know which settings I should use? The only thing I can think of to fix this is buying a Displayport-cable as "no one" ohters is experiencing this issue. Will this easy solution fix it?

    Try the Thunderbolt connection.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 (x64) problem on Windows7

    Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?
    (re-installing Photoshop don't fix it)

  • Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

    I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
    1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
    For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
    2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
    You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
    I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

    Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
    Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

  • CS4 Installation Problem on Mac - Error 2

    I have tried for several hours to make the new install of Adobe CS4 work. The Lightroom2 install worked fine. Background: I have a macbook pro, OS/X 10.5.7, enough avail disk space. I had a trial version of LR2 and full CS2. I have done the following: checked "repair permissions" - an OS/X utility that interfered with operating Capture NX a couple years ago, so I added that step. I have uninstalled every Adobe application, using Clean Script 3 and Clean Script 4. I have tried to install CS4 in a separate user account, which has since been deleted, and again both Clean Scripts have been run. I have restarted my computer and downloaded a fresh version of CS4. I have tired to install it as a Tial version instead of an upgrade, also.  It NEARLY installs, but at the very end of the install bar, after Bridge and before finishing Photoshop installation,  I get a big red X and an error and find it is Error 2. The Adobe support pdf's have not helped, including those referenced by their little support bot.
    Have spent a couple hours with Adobe Support, also.  No one knows what Error 2 means. 
    Also, the "support" person closed my case as though it had been resolved - said he would call me back in one hour and 2ours 45 minutes later had not called back.  He CLOSED the case, wasting my time and lying to me.

    I have just committed the cardinal sin of allowing my daughter to install Adobe CS4 Web Premium on my new Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core.
    I use this computer for pro music composition, and until I allowed my daughter to talk me into letting her use it for Adobe Web Premium (24" Apple screen, she has a PC laptop), it was strictly a no fly zone.
    My worst fears were realized.
    Neither she, nor I, can't get a clean install. Each attempt is greeted by a 'Successful but with Errors' or some such garbage. I have submitted a support requerst but have had no reply.
    The new Mac died. Apple replaced it with a new computer under Applecare Warranty, and a new hard disk, but still the problem remains.
    I've tried a new partition; nope.
    I get the folling error codes:

    I tried to download the Adobe Support Advisor, but it would not download. I have erased the registration, followed the instructions to the letter.
    Nothing.
    Adobe help in Australia were polite but did not resolve the problem. I called again and was greeted by a call centre somewhere in the Third World by someone who knew less about computers that they did about Adobe products. This poor person probably has a good job within his impoverished community, but undoubtedly paid a pittance (or why would Adobe set up a Call Centre in India), which make s it really hard to vent my frustrations without appearing racist.
    I am attempting to take over the problem as there is no way a seventeen year old girl could negotiate this. I can't.
    Has anybody any clues?
    Appreciate any help. I can't access my daughter's email which the product is registered through at Adobe, as it is on her school computer which is connected through the school server, but my email is [email protected].
    Appreciate any help. Or the contact details of a good hit-man.

  • Enhance Timing Problem

    Anyone notice that when Enhance Timing is applied to an audio track, that track takes a couple of seconds to start playback? I'm sure it has to do with the time it takes for the real-time processing to kick in, but it's a problem when trying to export the song to disk and that track doesn't start right away...

    That didn't seem to work. I locked the bass track, but there's still a pause before that track starts when I play the song from the start.

  • Adobe Bridge to CS4 Batch Problem

    I hope this is the correct forum for this post as I don't know if its a Bridge or CS4 problem.
    If I carry out various adjustments in ACR from within bridge, then select a number of the adjusted files and run the CS4 Batch from within Bridge. (I.e. Tools|PhotoShop|Batch...) I'm given the option of the action to run and each file is loaded into CS4 and the action runs file.
    The problem is that not all the adjustments made are transfered into CS4 - the most obvious one being any crops.
    If I open the same files in CS4 - as in File|Open, then all the adjustments are present.
    Have I got something set incorrectly or is this a bug?
    Thanks
    Mark

    I've been having similar loss of adjustments...and haven't got a solution.  It seems to me the following happens:
    If I launch Photoshop CS4 32bit, open Bridge, and start a batch process, the adjustment from the first opened RAW file is used for ALL files being processed.
    If I launch Bridge before and start a batch process, Photoshop CS4 64bit is automatically launched and each image is properly processed using each file's settings.  Acutally, I'm not 100% sure I ever have this problem with the 64bit Photoshop even when I launch it first.
    At first I thought I was losing my mind...some settings are too subtle to see differences when I quickly glance through a bulk group of photos.  But lately I have processed some photos as black and white...and you know something is wrong if ALL of your batch processed photos suddenly show up black and white.

  • Bridge CS4 causing problem with Explorer

    The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge CS4:
    When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
    This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
    Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
    Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?
    Cheers,

  • Photoshop CS4 graphics problem solved in Windows 7 -64 bit

    I recently spent several days tracking down why i was getting odd graphical behaviour in CS4.
    Often, while using the polygon lasoo tool andother tools, the screen woud jump and the selection would stop in mid-stream.
    I also noticed other odd behaviors.
    the solution was to turn of the AERO effects by right clicking on the desktop, choosing personalize and choosing "classical theme".
    Prior to this problem, when I started the latest premiere pro, I couldn't access the tabs in the choose settings fields. After talking to tech support, we found that I had set my default font size for Windows 7 to 125% of normal, so i could see the high res screen better. Resetting it to 100% by right clicking the desktop choosing settings, advanced, cleared up the problem.
    I hope this helps other users avoid similar headaches.

    Thanks for posting the information.
