Are there any specific codecs or import libraries that will make Premiere 6 use more file types?

Are there any specific codecs or import libraries that will allow Premiere 6 to import more file types?  I'm using Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
It seems that the only kind of file that can be imported in to this version of Premiere are certain types of AVI files... even some types of AVIs will import but then will not appear when placed in the timeline... no MPGs, MP4s, WMVs, or anything else will import at all.
Virtually every file that I need to bring in to Premiere 6 has to be converted to AVI with the H.264 codec first.
Any help would be helpful.

Hi Bill and John,
Thanks for your replies.
My inquiry isn't as much to do with the AVIs that won't import as it is to do with figuring out the way that I can make MPGs, MP4s, MOVs and WMVs import in to Premiere 6.
The AVIs that do import were converted or created using the H.264 codec.  I do know a little about codecs, but I don't hold the PhD in codecs that is apparently required to completely understand them.
Below is the chart from the Premiere Elements 4 page at this link... http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402540.html
So, if I understand correctly, Bill is saying the Premeire Elements 4 is actually newer than Premiere 6 and that the Pr Elements apps will actually import more movie file formats than the regular versions of Premiere and Premiere Pro?... for someone trying to learn about these apps, one must admit that this seems to be reverse logic... this would be saying that Adobe gave the cheaper "consumer" versions of Premiere the ability to work with 3 or 4 more movie file formats than the more expensive "pro-sumer" version of Premiere.
Premiere 4 Elements File Format Support Chart
Microsoft AVI (.avi)

MOD (JVC Everio camera) (.mod)
Import only
MPEG-1 (.mpg, .mpeg, .m1v, .mpv)
Import and Export
MPEG-2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .m2t, .m2v, .mod, .mpd, .m2p)
Import only
MPEG-4 (.mp4, .m4v)
Export only
Export via QuickTime file or "Share to Mobile" workflow.
QuickTime Movie (.mov, .moov)

Windows Media video (.wmv)

The built-in web browser instruction manual in Premiere 6 shows this statement on the "Importing Clips" page, as shown in my screenshot linked above...
"File format support is provided by plug-in software  modules. Over time, additional or updated file formats may be available  from Adobe or other manufacturers, such as QuickTime."
This indicates that additional file format support can be added to Premiere 6 by "plug-in software modules", and that "over time, additional or updated file formats" were predicted to become available that would be supported by the file format manufacturers, such as Adobe themselves and other manufacturers such as QuickTime.
Since that was written ten years ago or more, there has certainly been the chance for these additional "plug-in software modules" to be developed "over time"... so I'm asking, "Where are they available?"
What I'm saying is, I will do my homework to earn at least my Bachelor's degree in codecs, but more than an education in codecs, I need to find these mysterious, "plug-in software modules" for Premiere 6 that Adobe wrote about and referred to over ten years ago.
Thanks for any clues as to where to locate these "plug-in software modules".

  • Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

    I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

    This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD.  Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS?  No firewall involved.

    I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD.  Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS?  There is no firewall inbetween the two connections, as this is all on our internal network. 
    Both devices can connect to the network, but when they try to talk to each other they can't make the connection.
    Thanks.

    If anyone ever comes across this and has the same issue, here's what I did to fix it:
    My Linksys router has a Network Mode setting, and I had to change it from "Mixed" to "Wireless-G only".  (I would've used N but one of the NICs in my house is too old to support it.)  Anyway, after making this change, Facetime works fine on the phone.  Hope this helps someone else!

  • Is there any third party software for itunes that will do this:

    Is there any third party software for itunes that will organize the browser window. Ideally I would like the third browser window (album name) organized by "main albums" "compilations" "bootlegs" "singles"
    It would look like this for the Beatles
    Main
    1963 Please Please Me
    1965 Help
    etc.
    Compilations
    1970 Red Album
    1990 Greatest Hits
    etc.
    Bootlegs
    1985 Ultratrax 1
    etc.
    CD Singles
    1999 Whatever
    This info would be marked on either the info or option tab when labeling.
    If this has not been made, one of you nerds should make it, it would be great and you could charge $3 for it and I buy it. and so would 100,000 other people.

    If you haven't already, try looking through the Apple Downloads specifically for iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/
    There might be something there that is at least similar to the app your looking for.
    edit: There is one shareware that is an iTunes plugin called Multi-tunes. With it you can create multiple iTunes libraries, one library called "Main" one called "Bootlegs" etc, and Multi-Tunes will allow you to quickly switch between them from within the iTunes window. Not exactly what your looking for but close.

  • Are there any apps to support Bluetooth earpieces that do not support music

    Basically I have a Rock candy Bluetooth earpiece for PS3, but I paired it with my white iPad 2 16GB it only works with calls but I want to listen to music or other media such as podcasts or videos. Are there any apps to help me listen to media or any tricks or options? Thanks

    If the device does not support the correct Bluetooth profile, there is nothing that you can do to change that.

  • Are there any Lenovo X220 owners with IPS that don't notice ghosting?

    I need to pull the trigger soon and have been watching all the posts about fan noise, throttling and IPS ghosting. 
    Are there any users with an IPS screen who do not notice, or are not bothered by, ghosting on their IPS screen?
    I would prefer IPS for the better viewing angles and color reproduction.

    As far as I can tell, the two units I got all exhibit ghosting if I just let the screen idle for too long (assuming idle at max brightness for more than 15 minutes), I think it's an issue that will be addressed by Lenovo later and for the time being, it doesn't hinder productivity unless your use of the company requires the image to stay stationary for an extended period of time.

  • I accidentally opened a malicious email with my iPhone. Are there any specific precautions/actions I should take?

    I awoke one morning and in my "still not awake" state, I checked my email on my iPhone to find a "your deposit was rejected" email in my inbox. Having deposited a check online the night before, and still not completely conscious, I opened the email and clicked the link to the bank statement. Had my eyes not been blurry and I was actually awake I would have realized earlier that this was neither my bank nor that sneaky of an attempt to get me to click on the link. I realized about 3 seconds after clicking on the link that this was malicious, closed the mail app, closed safari, cleared the cookies and closed all tabs, deleted the email from the inbox and trash.
    Is there any danger of this foolish mistake migrating to my MBP? Is there anything more that I should do to avoid this becoming a larger security breach?
    I appreciate all answers.

    There is an antivirus app in Apple's ios app store.  It is from Intego.  It will not scan your ios device, but it will scan the attachment that you found on your email and if it is malicious then the scan should identify it and give you the option to safely delete or quarantine it.  You have to use your finger or a stylus to select what you want it to scan.  You just press down on what you want it to scan and don't let go, and then it launches and quickly scans that one item.  This is useful to make sure you don't spread it to other people more so than protecting your own device, I've heard, as the ios devices are already fairly safe.
    I have the Intego app and can vouch that it is easy to use.  I scanned a few pdf files I saved on my iPhone 4 and they were clean.
    If you are worried about your Mac, I recommend trying ESET antivirus for Mac.  It is light on resources and does not cause any problems, whereas most other antivirus software programs are notorious for causing problems on the Mac.  I've had ESET since June on my iMac and haven't had any problems, and it does not slow down my Mac or hog resources.

    I know this isn't your full time job, but perhaps you might want to write another alternate script
    Apple says it is going to write one.
    Another thing. When it was busy scanning Applications -- I know it says "this may take some time," I gave up and hit skip after giving it a very long time to finish.
    Thanks. Don't mean to be ungratefu for your good work on this.
    There is no way to tell how long that will take. If I had to edit that script, I would just remove that part. I was following advice that was not accurate in the ensuing blog frenzy. That was costly. I didn't have much time, so should I have gone ahead and scan system areas or done a better job with LaunchAgents? I made the wrong choice.
    I always welcome suggestions. Unfortunately, comments on User Tips seem to be locked down pretty tight.
    It is a moot point now that Apple is going to write a script. When that happens, I will take down that script. Until then, I'm just reminding people to press "enter" when in doubt.

  • Are there any memory and cpu logging extensions that is addon, not process oriented, that will detect ram/cpu usage, even within the main Firefox process?

    And why wasn't this a feature in FF already? I hear it was, but it was dropped in FF4 as part of some kind of feature freeze? Why was this most important of all features removed, and how can I patch this? So I can use my browser properly again. Maybe an addon that would make about-addonsmemory detect that kind of stuff would do, maybe something that forces all addons to operate within the plugin container. Or maybe just something that will moniter everything right.

    The CPU usage part is the most important
