New Encore user... AVI shows as audio only?

OK im a designer... photoshop flash dreamweaver then im your girl but ive
NEVER used encore before!
Ive got several episodes of shows ive dowloaded (all leagal!!) which I want to put on DVD, they are AVI files.
When I import them into the project space they only show up as a window audio...no video!?
What am I doing wrong/missing?

You say AVI. That is but a "wrapper," and almost anything can be contained in there. This ARTICLE will give you some detail and also show how to "peek inside" that wrapper. It is the CODEC contained in the AVI, that is all important. It is most likely that the CODEC used is not going to work in Encore, which wants to see either a DV-AVI Type II (either with muxed PCM/WAV audio, or with only the video stream), or DVD-compliant MPEG-2 (again muxed or not). I recommend using elemental/elementary streams, where you have Video-only, and Audio-only in two separate files. The Audio can either be PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit, or DD AC3, which is DVD/BD-compliant.
Let us know what's inside the AVI's, and someone can direct you on how best to proceed. Most likely, you will just Import that file into PrPro and Export as DV-AVI, but you also may need to convert it, should it be DivX, Xvid, or MJPEG, all common CODEC's in the AVI wrapper, but incompatible with Encore.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • New OID users not showing up in Outlook

    Hello,
    When I create a new user in OID the user does not show up in the Oracle-Global Address List on a particular machine. The user does show up in the web client and if I configure outlook on another machine with the same user info I can then see the new user. Does anyone know why machine 1 is not getting the new user info?
    Thanks

    Outlook caches the GAL entries, so you might need to download (refresh) your address book. In Outlook 2002, this is done by:
    Tools -> Send/Recieve -> Download Address Book.
    Depending on your settings, Outlook may get a new address book every time it starts up. This can be configured by:
    Tools -> Options -> 0racle Connector -> Calendar:
    check "Automatically refresh the GAL when working online".

  • A new Encore user's experience.

    Being as this is a louge this might be a place to share.
    First, I am not a pro, but I have been using Premiere since 4.2 to produce simple teaching videos and over time have gotten to where I have done more fun stuff and even a couple of events, for money even.  Until recently I created my DVDs using Sony DVD Architech.
    So all week I've been editing video from a race held near here recently (motorsports, 24 Hours of LeMons) where I attended with a team with the idea of getting photos and video and putting together something the team and friends would enjoy.  I got some good in-car video, and some not so good, but that's another matter.
    For this project I decided to finally try using Encore to create the DVD.  The Sony software didn't do Blu-Ray and I wanted to try that, too.  So I start up Encore and when it finally loaded I started a project in the usual Adobe style then was presented with a screen I simply could not figure out.  I poked around trying to figure out what the basic procedure was and found the "import" function, tried to import and mgep file, and I got my first blue screen ever on this system.
    Rebooted, and restarted Encore, I explored more on my own.  I can usually figure out these things on my own.  I explored the menus and buttons, and figured out that an asset was probably anything I wanted to put on the DVD.  Other than that I was pretty much stuck.  I imported another mpeg file and that worked, but I finally gave up and decided to try "Help".  That took me to the Adobe site, and that to the Lynda tutorials, which were just what I needed.  I went through them one-by-one and they answered most of my questions.  They were excellent.  Quick, clear, and just the right amount of detail for a tutorial.  Adobe did good with that one.
    With Lynda's help I was off and running.  I figured out how to create menu templates by examining the ones that came with Encore and I figured out how to change the order and other settings for each button.  Everything was going smoothly now.  I had a project that had a menu and three videos.  The preview feature was also working great.  But, the highlight I used for my buttons is a green dot that has an inner shadow.  In preview I only get a green dot.  No shadow.  Later on the DVD itself, same thing.  I later learend by reading in these forums that that is the fault of the DVD player.
    I still had room for one more button, and I still had lots of photos I had not used, so I tried the slide show feature.  It looked like it would a good job just showing photos, and for this project I thought it would be a nice little extra.  I know that some people here consider it to be a comsumer gimick and just seeing it in Encore made me think the same thing, as if Adobe wanted to be able to match the features of (much) lesser DVD authoring programs.  No matter.  I'd also learn, by experience that this feature still needs a little work.  Again, I am not a pro, so if I notice something that needs fixing it must really scream out at you guys and gals.
    It was pretty easy to import my photos and add them to the slide show, but I soon learned that 99 photos is the max for a slide show.  I suppose that is OK.  Next, I learned that the shortest time I could display a slide is about 1.2 seconds.  I was hpoing to be able to run through some of my photos quickly to simuate a stop-action sequence for those times when I just held the shutter release button and snapped away at the action, such as a car spinning off into the dirt.  It could be that this limit is due to the cross-fade transitions I had set as the slide show's default transition.  I'll try it again later without transitions to see what happens.
    Adding and removing slides turned out to be a real pain.  When addidng slides in mass I'd get an error saying there was something wrong with a slide.  I forget what the other errors were, but I got a lot of them.  They were probably related to the number of slides I was placing in the timeline, over 99 total.  But besides the errors, Encore really slowed down.  It took maybe 10-15 minutes for it to get back to normal, or just about how long it took me to give up and go off and fold laundry.  So then I tried to delete some slides and that took for ever, especially if the slide was near the beginning of the show.  I figure Encode must be reprocessing the whole show somehwow.  But after these problems something seemd to be wrong with Encore.  It was slow when doing anything.  I closed it and started it up again.  It was all better again.
    In previews the slide show looked good, but I realized that I needed to resize the photos.  I did this in Photoshop for a handful then came back to Encore, expecting it to update itself, seeing as assets like these are external to the Encore project itself, but that didn't happen.  If I edited a video and came back to Premiere it would re-import the video.  Apparently this doesn't happen in the slide show.  I deleted the slide show and started again.  At least it is easy to set up new slide shows, except as noted above.
    The do-over worked.  The slide show looked good.
    I burned a DVD and the results were excellent, except for, again, the slide show.  The show ran OK, but at the end of each transition there was a little flicker, more like a contrast glitch.  Annoying, and it has to be fixed or else the slide show feature will be useless, even for me, except for personal use.
    Other than that, all was good.  I edited video and Encore reimported it and the burn was successful and it looked great, well, on my analog TV.  I still don't have digital as I canceld cable and quit watching TV nearly 2 years ago.  But it was working, minor changes were easily handled, etc.
    I then tried the Flash feature, and it worked well, except that the video frame is not centered (too far to the right).  The HTML code was simple enough.  The video plays in a table whose width is 99% of the screen the cell justification is centered.  I'm sure I could deal with that in my own pages.  But, a bigger problem, again involving the slide show.  The VCR controls would pop up at the start, or end, of each slide, and then would disappear again on its own.  Again, the slide show is a nice feature but I can't use it if the controls are going to be going up and down throughout the show.
    I also exported an image and will be trying that out later.  Being able to create an image for the DVD is nice.  It means I won't have to use Encode for future burns, and I might have trouble keeping up with the 80 GB of files I have in this project.
    Mike

    Thanks for reporting.
    I'm one of those folk, who shies away from SlideShow in En, choosing to do that in PrPro and then Exporting a DV-AVI.
    Though this is not a "technical" forum, I'll risk Jeff & Neil's wrath and throw out one comment. If your still images were not resized to your Project's Frame Size, say 720 x 480, PAR = 1.22 (for NTSC 16:9 in this example), you are asking the program to downsize all of your 99 stills. That WILL slow things to a crawl. Also, I feel that resizing in Photoshop, rather than En, or PrPro, will give you better results. This is a time, where bigger is not better. If you redo, or do a similar Project, explore resizing the stills in PS first, and then Importing those. This ARTICLE might give you some tips on automating the resizing, prior to Import.
    OK, enough of that technical drivel. Thanks again for sharing!

  • In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

    I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
    The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
    Video:
    The file is 2:21:29 in length.
    720x480
    Data rate 1489kbps
    Total bitrate 1617kbps
    29 frames/second
    Audio:
    Bit rate 128kbps
    Channels 2 (stereo)
    Audio sample rate 48 kHz
    The file is about 1.6Gb
    This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
    The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
    I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
    Suggestions?!

  • HD show download audio only

    When select download HD version of the last two episodes of Merlin, only the audio downloads.  This happens on my new iPad and the iPad at the Apple store.  Had no luck with customer service - emails, phone calls and trip to Genius Bar.  Apple store person directed me here.

    I think Google changed sth recently. I hope next version of clive will catch up :-)
    FlashGot (Firefox extension) still can download the files and then you just need to separate audio (dump audio stream).
    Edit: Ah, you want a commandline way. If Google changed the YouTube format all downloaders will be broken.

  • 2.0 performance issues, new Encore user, typically do AE work

    I keep great tabs on my machine and have just recently started to learn Encore because it came with my Production Studio Premium. I don't typically do the final authoring at the prod house, I'm the effects guy and this laptop run AE like a champ (HP nx9420).
    But when I run Encore I take tremendous performance hits... brand new project lags a little bit, the Library is pointless because the scroll speed is incredibly slow. With that closed, and nothing yet imported to make the project, Encore seems ok. Add one clip, start one menu setup and now I wait forever for Encore to catch up to what I am doing.
    Is there known issues? Tweaks? Performance tips/tricks out there? I used the software for about 4 hours tonight, forcing process kills to get back to a usable state every so often.
    Any help would be great! Thanks guys!

    Yeah I know all that.
    Appreciate the post though... others that are not hardware savvy might no know this... I am more a hardware guru than software.
    I got this laptop with 1gb, and I am doing no multitasking. Well, I was at first, but after the performance issues I totally stopped trying to even run PS and create all the graphics ahead of time instead of as needed.
    After looking at it more over the last couple nights I have decided what What I am seeing is a memory leak... its random, I've not been able to isolate it to anything specific yet. I have not been able to duplicate the issue anywhere but I do know this: if i run it, i it will happen. Encore takes typical 20-40k on Process Mem Usage under Task Manager. Every time I've hit this slow down I hit Task Manager and Encore is using 150-400k Mem Usage, the really bad hits it takes even more. Even after quitting out I have to reboot to clear memory, or run a ram scrubber to clear it all out...
    Thanks for the look at my post, and the help!

  • AVI video plays audio only on MacOS, QuickTime 7.2.0

    Hi,
    I recently received an AVI video from a friend. When I play it on either QT 7.2 or RealPlayer -- I get the audio, but no video.
    I transferred the file to a PC running Windows XP, and QuickTime plays the video properly there.
    Any suggestions?

    But how would I know which codec is correct for my particular AVI?
    If the file opens in the QT Player, open the "Inspector" window and check the "Format:" line. For most files it will indicate the video codec used, encoded dimensions, and color depth of the video track, as well as, the audio codec, channel assignments, and sampling rate of the soud track. Usually this is enough for you to google the codec for Mac use to see if something is readily available. For most commonly use AVI formats, Perien is frequently sufficient. If the codec turns out to be proprietary (e.g., DivX, WMV, ext.), then you may have to purchase a codec. If it turns out to a really old one like "Indeo," then you may simply be out of luck as far as the QT Player is concerned.

  • New Mac user needs help: some audio doesn't play...

    Since I purchased my MacBook, I haven't been able to listen to any audio on the internet (movie trailers, youtube.com, etc.) I found this previous discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2784099&#2784099 which led me to this link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832.
    I did not have the Audio Midi Setup utility that the article required, but I downloaded Pacifist and installed the utility. When I opened it, I was disappointed to find that under 'Audio Output,' it simply said 'Output is not supported.' Any suggestions on how to get my online audio to play or how to get the output to be supported? Thanks a lot from a recent convert to Mac OS X!

    The safer way to run is set up a user account without administrator privileges for normal use, and reserve the administrator account for software installation and system maintenance. Running from the user account will then prevent you from accidentally moving or deleting system files.
    If there are files missing from your system, and you are sure you didn't do it accidentally, you have serious problems. Either the system wasn't installed properly at the factory or the disk is going bad. If the Mac is used, the previous owned may have messed with the system. In either case I would recommend backing up all your files to a CD or DVD, then using the OSX install disk, initialize the drive with the zeroing option, and reinstall OSX. Then create a non-administrator account for normal use. It is a bit of work, but then you will know where you are staring from. If system files again vanish when you are not using an administrator account, you know the disk is bad, and can get Apple to replace it.
    Another thing you should do is run the Extended Hardware test. It should be on a disk that came with the computer. Read the fine print on the disks. You start it by holding down D (Diagnostics) when booting.
    Audio not working with some applications does happen but system files should never go missing.

  • New Apps User defaults with all User Edition Privileges - Security Breach?

    Please check the following Scenario/Issue and please let me know if anyone has a solution for it.
    1. In Apps, created following Responsibilities
    - Payables Inquiry-Only User
    - Projects Inquiry-Only User
    2. In Discoverer Admin, Tools->Privileges, assigned following privilege to "Payables Inquiry-Only User"
    - User Edition Parent only (unchecked all child privileges such as Create/Edit Query)
    3. In Discoverer Admin, Tools->Security, mapped following Responsibilities/Business Areas (BA)
    - Resp: Payables Inquiry-Only User BA: AP Payables
    - Resp: Projects Inquiry-Only User BA: PA Projects
    4. In Apps, created user DISC_INQUIRY_USER, assigned following responsibilities
    - Payables Inquiry-Only User
    - Projects Inquiry-Only User
    5. At this stage, if user connects to User Edition;
    - user is able to create new query in BA: AP Payables or BA: PA Projects depending on login Responsibility
    - By default Discoverer assigns all User Edition Privileges to new Apps User including Create/Edit Query
    Requirement
    1. Create new Apps User DISC_INQUIRY_USER, assign it Inquiry-Only Responsbilities
    2. Login to User Edition - DISC_INQUIRY_USER: Payables Inquiry-Only User
    - User can inquiry Workbooks associated with Resp: Payables Inqiry-Only user
    - Should not be able to create new workbooks
    3. Login to User Edition - DISC_INQUIRY_USER: Projects Inquiry-Only User
    - User can inquiry Workbooks associated with Resp: Projects Inquiry-Only User
    - Should not be able to create new workbooks
    Issue
    There is time-gap between creating Apps User and login to Discoverer Admin to remove user privileges. This is security Breach, is their any way to change get around it.
    - Discoverer gives precedence to Responsibility Privileges over User Privileges. Is their any way to change it?
    - Is it possible to change default Privileges for new Apps User?
    - I am facing this issue in Discoverer 4.1.48, Does discoverer Admin behaves differently in latest Versions?

    Nobody helps you except yourself. ;)
    So, this query get privileges for user PUBLIC
    select eap.ap_id, eap.gp_app_id
    from eul5_eul_users eeu,
    eul5_access_privs eap
    where eeu.eu_username = 'PUBLIC'
    and eap.ap_eu_id = eeu.eu_id
    and eap.ap_type = 'GP'
    In my case
    3001     1000
    3002     1001
    3003     1002
    3004     1003
    3005     1004
    3006     1005
    3015     1013
    3016     1014
    3017     1018
    3018     1024
    I research а corresponding between gp_app_id (second column) and real name of privilege and get the next list:
    1000     Discoverer and Plus Privilege
    1001     Create/Edit Query
    1002     Item Drill
    1003     Drill Out

    1018     Unknown
    1024     Create Link
    So, the ID of privilege 'Save Workbooks to Database' is 1014. This privilege exists in table in spite of in Discoverer Administrator this option UNCHECK for user PUBLIC.
    This is a REAL BUG!!!
    Then I executed query
    delete from eul5_access_privs where ap_id = 3016
    and after that all became right.
    Now please explain me this bug. And I have question - which privileges have IDs 1013 and 1018?
    Thank you.

  • .AVI video not importing correctly. Imports as audio only.

    System: window vista 64 bit
    Project type: whatever the standard new project is at the startup screen
    Problem: I am importing .avi video files and they are importing as audio only. it will not allow me to drag them into the video slot on the timeframe, and it displays only the speaker symbol in the media management area. Here's the funny bit. I used these files previously in another session June-July 2009, and they worked fine then. I am lost and need assistance!(PLEASE!!)
    Stumped Like a Chump

    If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
    Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

  • My AVI will not import to PE12. They want to load as audio only. Using Windows 7.

    My AVI files will not import to Premiere Elements 12. They want to load as audio only. Currently using Windows 7.

    Just a reminder to those reading your thread...at the onset I wrote
    There are certain .avi files with certain video compression that can be highly problematic, such as,
    AVCHD.avi
    And, we have been pursuing that line of troubleshooting by use of the conversion of the AVCHD.avi to an .mp4 file. Right now, the issue is not which method, but getting the export settings of the conversion method correct. It would appear that your conversion settings with Koyote got away from you, especially with the frame size and frame rate.
    We need to get an import whose properties match the Premiere Elements project settings, set by you or the project. Right now I am suggesting that you set the project setting manually yourself before you import your converted file, as per the how to toward the bottom of the following.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    But, first the conversion...by whatever method you select, I am suggesting the following H.264.mp4 as a 4:3 file.
    Go back to the AVCHD (H.264).avi and convert it to H.264.mp4.
    Let us target for
    Frame Width 640 pixels
    Frame Height 480 pixels
    Frame Rate 29.97 frames per second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.0.  (also known as Square Pixels)
    Then open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    Change the project preset to
    NTSC
    FLIP
    Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
    Do not forget the check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space" as you exit the new project dialog.
    Then import your converted H.264.mp4 file into Premiere Elements with Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the file to the Timeline. There should be no black borders anywhere.
    Does Koyote conversion offer the settings that I mentioned. If not, we can discuss using HandBrake which I thought might be easier and quicker to use.
    Please review and then let us decide if we are on course.
    Thanks.

  • Audio only, no video, when importing .avi  -  VP60

    I'm trying to make a machinima (Sims 3) and am new to "serious" video editing and Premiere (I have done little projects on Windows Movie Maker and stuff like that before). I'm using the trial version of CS5.5.
    My problem is that whenever I try to import .avi clips, they import as audio only and no video. The files open fine in Windows Media Player. The weird thing is that this has only started happening in the middle of my project, after I've already successfully imported and worked with several files recorded in the same way  (and so I assume they were the same format).
    After researching this issue as much as I've been able to, I downloaded the oft-recommended Gspot utility and took a look at some of the problem files. It says the codec is VP60, but that I already have it installed.
    I haven't, to my knowledge, done any kind of converting or compressing of any of the videos before this happened. Another weird thing, though, is that files that imported correctly before are now only importing audio just like the newer ones.
    I have tried converting these files to mp4's and other formats, which brings the video back into Premiere, but at a great loss of quality. I've also tried updating/reinstalling Quicktime and even a system restore, all without any luck.
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I have a deadline FAST approaching!

    This is a distribution format, not intended to be edited, because of the heavy compression. You have several options:
    1. Try with consumer editor, like Magix, or WMM.
    2. Convert to something editable and accept the quality loss.
    3. Get the original, not compressed material from the copyright owner.

  • Audio-only seq's edited into into timeline show as unrendered, wont render

    I'm using FCP to do simple audio edit assembly projects.
    One main question and two followups.
    I have some audio only sequences in the bin. When I drag one to the timeline directly, or edit it into the timeline by dragging to viewer, or any of the other ways to get it into the timeline, it comes in as unrendered, with the red bar at top, although it was rendered when I edited it into the tl.
    When I try to render, it wont render, and just plays with the beep beep beep sound. However, scrolling the clip in the timeline, I can hear quietly, the audio scrubbing.
    Only way I could work around was to pull a sequence to the timeline, double click it, which then opened the original sequence again in the tl. I then was able to highlight and copy the material, switch back to the sequence I was assembling, and paste the audio in.
    Any suggestions as to why the sequences edit into the timeline unrendered, and how to bring them in so they are rendered, or how to render them?
    Followup question 1:
    What's the significance of some clips in the timeline display their color as light green, while others have the color light blue? And why do some clips show audio waveforms while others do not?
    Followup 2:
    I recently lost the media files to some audio-only sequences. However, when I went to play the sequences, they played, even though the media files were gone. Was the sequence playing using the Audio Render files? I am guessing that when I altered the level of the audio, new files were created in the Audio Render bin, and the sequence was playing off those render files. Question 1 above doesn't involve lost media files, for that situation all media files were in tact.

    1. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you might be best off opening the sequence you want clips from and copy/paste those clips into your newer sequence...this will require rendering.
    AFAIK, the only way to avoid re-rendering is to duplicate the sequence in the browser (retains renders)...but from what you describe, you're trying to integrate previous sequences into newer ones, so may not benefit you.
    You could duplicate the sequence 'A', then build upon that in sequence 'B'...again, really depends on your end goal.
    2. The reason you're getting different colors in the top render bar, is the different levels of rendering FCP is seeing as needing to be done. Go to your Sequence Menu and check off all available types of renders. Now when you render, it should render everything.
    3. Yes, you're probably getting playback from already rendered files. If you delete all renders with Render Manager in the Tools menu, you'll likely lose them.

  • G4 Digital Audio only showing 1 GB RAM

    Hello. I have a Digital Audio Dual 533 that has been upgraded to a dual 1.3 with a Powerlogix 7457 processor. I have had the following issue since the machine was new(and in as shipped configuration):
    It only will recognize 1 GB of RAM...even when there is 1.5 (three Mac-compatible PC133-333 DIMMS) GB installed. Swapping DIMM slots (there are only three in this machine) or DIMMs had no effect. System Profiler shows four DIMM slots with only the first two (DIMM0/J21 and DIMM1/J22) with the appropriate DIMMS. the other two slots show "Empty".
    I am currently running 10.4.5-but this has occured even under OS 9...which the machine shipped with.
    I have reset PRAM with no change. If resetting NVRAM involves something else, it has not been reset. (thanks Dave!)
    Any insight/solutions are gratefully appreciated

    G4 Digital Audio was Dual 533, now dual 1.3 (Powerlogix 7457s)    

    Sounds like one slot may be defective.
    Have you removed all but the first DIMM, verified that it works, then install the second, verify that it works, then the third?

  • A new user name showed up on my computer after a windows 8 update.

    A new user name showed up on my computer after a windows 8 update. A name I do not know or recognize. After the update,  the screen showed 2 users, myself and the name "John". it wasn't there yesterday, & I am the only user. I also bought the laptop new so it can't be a previous user. Can anyone tell me how to remove "John" from my computer. I am going to do a system restore & see if that works. In the meantime, if anyone has ever had this happen, what did you do?
