AC-3 support across CS5 suite

Hi
  this isn't a PPro question (sorry) but seeing that many expert users frequent this forum more than the Bridge forum, i thought i would post here...
I have a few video files with AC-3 encoded audio
Audio
ID                               : 189 (0xBD)-128 (0x80)
Format                           : AC-3
Format/Info                      : Audio Coding 3
Mode extension                   : CM (complete main)
Muxing mode                      : DVD-Video
Duration                         : 1mn 24s
Bit rate mode                    : Constant
Bit rate                         : 256 Kbps
Channel(s)                       : 2 channels
Channel positions                : Front: L R
Sampling rate                    : 48.0 KHz
Bit depth                        : 16 bits
Compression mode                 : Lossy
Delay relative to video          : -514ms
Stream size                      : 2.58 MiB (6%)
the files load and play fine in Premiere (CS5), Soundbooth etc... but not in Bridge (4.0.4.2) , the video plays but audio isn't there...
is AC-3 support supposed to be uniform across the entire CS5 Production Premium suite ? are there DLL i need to copy to the Bridge directory ?similar to the old issue in CS4 ?
thanks in advance
Sam

Previous versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro installed both DLLs  and ActiveX controls for codecs licensed from third parties. After  Effects CS5 (and later) and Premiere Pro CS5 (and later) only install the DLLs, because we don't  need the ActiveX controls, and they were just causing problems. Unknown  to us, Bridge CS4 was relying on those ActiveX controls being installed.  So, Bridge CS5 and later---not having these codecs---can't play some kinds of  files.
In a manner of speaking, Bridge CS4 being able to play these files was an accident.
If you want to have AC-3 preview in Bridge, you should make a feature request.

  • Is Adobe Exchange feature supported on CS5.* ?

    Hi!
    I am developing a Flex panel for Photoshop CS5.* and 6 using Creative Suite Extension Builder 2. This version has  a new feature called Adobe Exchange that allows extensions to be marketed and sold. As I understand, this feature is supported on CS6 only.
    I have some queries regarding the approval guidelines of a zxp.
    [Guideline 1] Content should not contain any URL or redirect links anywhere other than Producers Identity Box in Extension Manager.
    [Ques] Does that mean we cannot have a url on our panel that directs the user to anywhere other than  Producers Identity Box in Extension Manager?
    [Guideline 2] Content does not contain encryption technology.
    [Ques] Does this mean that our panel cannot in any way hold a code for encryption, be it for storing values like login credentials, etc.?
    [Guideline 3] The product must support CS6 versions of Creative Suite applications. Products that support earlier versions are not accepted.
    [Ques] Does this mean that a panel with support for CS5.* as well as CS6 will not be uploaded to Adobe Exchange?
    Please shed some light on the above.
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    I have answered your questions inline below.
    I am developing a Flex panel for Photoshop CS5.* and 6 using Creative Suite Extension Builder 2. This version has  a new feature called Adobe Exchange that allows extensions to be marketed and sold. As I understand, this feature is supported on CS6 only.
    [Answer]: Yes CS6 is required but you can have a product that is backwards compatible with products earlier than CS6 such as CS5. In other words if you already have a product that supports say CS4/CS5 and CS6 you would not need to strip anything out we just need to have CS6 compatibility in order to be supported on the new Adobe Exchange.
    I have some queries regarding the approval guidelines of a zxp.

    [Ques] Does that mean we cannot have a url on our panel that directs the user to anywhere other than  Producers Identity Box in Extension Manager?
    [Answer]: What you can't do is point to another store or purchase page. So for example you could link to more information about your product but you could not provide a direct link to another Store/purchase option. As long as you do not have a direct link to another Store URL we are OK with it.
    [Guideline 2] Content does not contain encryption technology.
    [Ques] Does this mean that our panel cannot in any way hold a code for encryption, be it for storing values like login credentials, etc.?
    [Answer]: The encryption question is really about encryptng or creating the possibility of encrypting. It comes back to the United States wanting to ensure we do not export somethign that could harm the United States, so for example a product that let's you encrypt secret information may cause issues for the US government. There are very few cases I can think of where this could be the case but we have to ask the question from a legal perspective. We expect some encryption for things like say a login and that should be OK but if you do have any concerns please say yes and we can investigate. 99% of the time it should not be an issue but we will work with producers to help you if you have any questions or concerns on this topic.
    [Guideline 3] The product must support CS6 versions of Creative Suite applications. Products that support earlier versions are not accepted.
    [Ques] Does this mean that a panel with support for CS5.* as well as CS6 will not be uploaded to Adobe Exchange?
    [Answer]: No you can have backwards compatibility in your product, you just need to ensure your product will work with S6, if it works with earlier versions of
    CS that's fine.
    I hope the above helps.

  • Issues deactivating my CS5 Suit while trying to uninstall it

    you must deactivate before uninstalling and reformatting.

  • My CS5 suite won't open my images.

    Hi everyone:
    I could really use your help. I'm against a deadline to prepare for a class and I just came across a bug in my CS5 suite. None of the programs will open my images. Do I have to re-install the software? I already updated the patch. Thanks so much for your input. -KS

    What Mr.Cox said …
    Additionally:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

  • Can't uninstall CS5 suite! Pleaes help.

    I was having trouble with Fireworks crashing when I tried to save files.  After reading posts on the Adobe Fireworks forum, I trashed the Adobe Applications Spport files in my user Library, because many users said this fixed the problem.  Now, when I try to open Fireworks or other Adobe programs, I get this message: Configuration error: please uninstall and reinstall the product.  So, I read Adobe's instructions for uninstalling, which said to "Navigate to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. Double-click the Adobe Creative Suite product uninstaller" I see an uninstaller for CS4 (which I still haven't uninstalled). However, there is no icon that says "CS5 uninstaller."  So, I click on the Adobe CS5 Design Premium folder, and I get this message: "The alias Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." I reinstalled the original Adobe application support files using Time Machine, and they now appear to be in the Library/Application Support folder, but I just can't seem to find a way to uninstall the CS5 suite so that I can reinstall it.  I want to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, which I plan to download. Can I use that tool to uninstall programs?  I'm backing up my hard drive first.  PLEASE HELP!  I'm lost without my Adobe suite!

    Since you have trashed the uninstall related information so the uninstaller will not work. You can however follow any of the following steps to re-install CS5 suite -
    1) Install the product, or
    2) first run Adobe Cleaner Tool and then Install the product
    You may use Adobe Cleaner Tool in this case but for normal un-installation always run the uninstaller from '/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers'.

  • Issues updating my CS5 suite software

    I've recently purchased a new laptop and installed and activated CS5 with the serial number and it is working fine. However, when I "update" the software, Adobe updater downloads the updates and then I get an error message (as per the screenshot attached) when I click on "Contact Customer Support" I am taken to an error message page explaining the error: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell
    It was working fine until I installed it on a new machine. I suspect that it may be an issue with the fact that I did not "deactivate" it on my previous laptop. However, I cannot see anywhere that I can authorize which machines that the software should be on.
    Also, I don't even see the CS5 suite mentioned as a registered product in my Adobe ID and when I try to add the serial number, I get an error saying thhis product has already been registered.
    I can't get hold of anyone on the telephone as every option I dial has a concluding message that "this product is not supported on the telephone, please visit our community forums"

  • Yosemite and adobe cs5 suite

    Has anyone tested Yosemite with the adobe cs5 suite
    Photoshop CS5 Extended
    Illustrator CS5
    etc....?
    I do not plan to purchase any further upgrades to Adobe
    I have been using their products in my business since 1994 and I have spent a fortune keeping them updated.
    CS5 is as far as I will go
    I do like to keep my Apple OSX updated
    Macbook Pro 10.9.5

    Hello Jonnny.
    I use the same software as you, and have the same thoughts and issues, and have been searching the internet and Adobe forums for similar answers and questions. Many people are having issues and most are saying if you are running older versions of CS, (I don't think CS5 is that old!) then a Java update is needed and easily downloaded from the Apple website. Personally I will wait another 2 weeks or so before deciding, but I may just keep my Mavericks, the last time I upgraded it caused me countless hours of downloading and reinstalling software again, one of Apples pieces of software I enjoyed using was iDVD which is no longer supported and just about got it too work again on Mavericks, but not sure if it will work on Yosemite.

  • Remote update cs5 suites

    We have about 15 clients with different cs5 suites and some lose photoshop/dreamweaver installs on the network. both microsoft and osx clients.
    What is the best way to keep these clients updated without running around all the time?
    Was looking for some console update options but can't find a thing about that.
    Adobe has a nice deployment toolkit which was perfect for deployment.
    Also read about hosting your own update server. But nothing in the docs about remotely updating the clients.
    anyone some good advice for this?
    thnx
    Jerry

    Hi Ashubijalwan1,
    just to make sure there is no misunderstanding:
    All Creative Suite Apps are updated except for the app with the name "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    When I use the Creative Cloud Packager and select solely the core components, "Adobe Creative Cloud" is a part of them. The program itself shows a message saying that an update is necessary, but RUM won't update "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    Best regards,
    Tobias

  • Is there a cure for persistent file corruptions across the suite?

    i am having terrible and consistent problems with file corruptions across the suite. for example…
    1: i collected for output (indesign) – corrupted over 100 small images that were linked.
    2: opened an indesign job and all linked files failed to update and could not be imported (simply would not import those files and were all corrupted).
    3: had a hang in photoshop followed by a 150:30 error (would not open any of my applications). this prompted a clean install of system and adobe cs4 see below
    4: most recently, had a hang in photoshop (photoshop will also no "force quit") whilst indesign was open. two of my image files corrupted and, most surprisingly, all my illustrator files that i had placed also corrupted (will not even open in illustrator any more). illustrator was not even running at the time, so, get this – a hang in photoshop destroys illustrator files simply because they are placed in indesign.
    this last event has made me more certain than ever that there is a fundamental problem at the cs4 core.
    can anyone help?
    please note the following:
    i am running a macintosh imac, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (latest imac), with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram.
    before this last disaster, i had reloaded the system software (archive and install), and updated it all the way to version 10.5.8
    i then uninstalled the creative suite, ran the cleanscript from adobe, reloaded the creative suite, downloaded all the cs4 updates
    (so, latest mac, latest system, latest cs4 – all clean installs).
    is there something i can do? or is this just a very unstable and disappointing upgrade – i have had nothing but problems from day one!
    many thanks if anyone has any advice.

    Please try this KB article's solutions, and report back on how it went for you. If you can provide details about any recent OS updates, backups, or migrations, that would help is nail down the root cause of the new rash of this error for Mac users recently:

  • PGP Encryption support in SOA Suite 11g

    Hi,
    Looking for PGP encryption support in SOA Suite 11g as we have a requirement to encrypt the file using PGP encryption and send over SFTP.
    I already went through some of the forums posts but they are date back to 2007, so just wanted to confirm if there is anything in recent releases of SOA Suite.
    - FTP adapter support or
    - OWSM suppport.
    As far as i know, we have to install some PGP tool and write a script to encrypt/decrypt and call the script from BPEL. this conclusion is based on a stmt given in the OWSM 10g book by sitaraman.
    Please provide your insights on this.
    Thanks
    Siva

    Hi Siva,
    I don't think still there is any support for PGP in Oracle SOA. You may use java for PGP encryption/decryption and transfer externally encoded messages over SFTP.
    Please refer -

  • I used up my two downloads for my standard CS5 suite, my backed up program on my external hard drive isn't working. My serial number says it is invalid, what do I do?

    I purchased the standard CS5 suite (photoshop, illustrator, in design, bridge) student package for my laptop (through a download process, not dvd, in which I had two downloads). I used my first one, that followed with my hard drive crashing. I used my second download, and then I had an accident with my laptop and had to purchase a new one. I backed up all of my programs onto an external hard drive and I just tried to re download adobe programs using that. When i enter my serial number it says it is invalid. What can I do? Live chat will not help me because I do not have the current CS6 or CC.

    Double-check your serial number here: Find your serial number quickly
    Serial numbers will sometimes become invalidated if they were hacked and made available on the internet.

    I have installed Adobe CS5 Suite Premium and Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my laptop and on my desktop.  My desktop hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  I now cannot re-install these programs because it is asking me for username/password information that is correct but not working for the installation.  PLEASE HELP ME

    It asks me twice.  The first time, I plug in the username/password for my Adobe account and it works (image 1486).  The second one (image 1485) does not work.  The issue is occurring at the Install Options point in the installation

  • Fonts in my CS5 Suite is like an Asian Restaurant menu...

    I love Asian food but....I dont need the Asian FONTS
    I can not get or understand why CS5  (PPRO, Photoshop) continues to display Fonts that I have specifically told Win7 Font Manager not to display
    There is a Control Panel > Fonts> Setting that "Hides Fonts" that do not correspond to ones Language Setting. (in my case English)
    The Font window shows that the Asian Fonts are Hidden.
    ...but not to my CS5 apps.
    I still get fonts and all their variations cluttering my Font Menus in the CS5 Adobe apps... like :
    Batang
    Dotum
    Gulim
    Gunsuh
    Sim Sun
    MingLiu
    Meiro
    Kokika
    Aparajita
    ...would you like noodles or rice with that sir?
    I have extensively and succesfully  deleted many Asian fonts from the system. but the above,  and more, refuse to delete because allegedly they are Adobe or  System Fonts.  The samples even display in respective Asian characters. (Japanese, Korean, Thai etc..)
    Font Navigator (Bit Stream) indicates I have only 82 installed fonts in my system.  These are the fonts of my choice and is about right. They do not include the Asian fonts
    Why does the CS5 Suite show me the Asian Fonts?
    How do I clean them out?
    What does Font xml do in the Adobe folder?
    Summary:
    1.The listed Asian Fonts show as hidden in Win 7 Font Management
    2. They do not appear in Font Navigator as installed. I can probably find them in the system if I run the "Catalogue" function though.
    3.They show up in Adobe app Font select menus.

    Craig,
    That's correct; what's in the Win7 Fonts control panel is what I see in CS5 apps:
    This is Photoshop, but Premiere Pro's titler is the same. I had all the annoying foreign language fonts before the script, and now they're gone. I've run the script on both of my edit boxen, and on my field machine, and haven't encountered any problems for having done so. I'll second your recommendation to restart after running the script; fonts display a little weird in the control panel until you do so. Other than that, it pruned a signicant number of typeface "choices" that I'd never choose.
    I can't guarantee it'll work for you or for everyone, as I had nothing to do with the script, but I've been cruising along for a couple months now with the lighter font load.
