Audition won't open an MPEG 2 (.mpg) file states

audition won't open an MPEG 2 (.mpg) file states it is either corrupt or unsupported. On a windows 7 system I have DLMS enabled and still can't get it to work.
Thanks,!!

You haven't said which version of Audition you are using. From the appropriate Adobe page:
Adobe Audition 3 can not open MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files. An earlier version of Audition, Adobe Audition 2.0, could read MPEG files only if it was installed as a part of the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio software suite. (Audition does not include the software license required to encode and decode MPEG files; the license was a part of Production Studio.)
I'm not sure about whether Audition CS5.5 will, but I think that CS6 and CC should.
Or perhaps your file is corrupted!

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

Hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense.

hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense. I also found online that you need Apple Mpeg-2 playback component in order to use mpeg streamclip. Even though I have OS X Lion, should I download the add-on?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:

Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Audition won't open except through Premiere Pro CS4

So last year my issue was when I got CS4, Premiere Pro wouldn't open unless I had After Effects and Audition 3.01 already open; and then I had to attempt to open Premiere three times -- then it would open. That was the magical solution. I don't know why it worked that way, but that's the way it was.
After years of faithful service, now Audition won't open. On the other hand, Premiere Pro opens the first time without any other Adobe program being open.
My jaw dropped.
Audition will open if I want to edit a sound file from Premiere Pro. I haven't added any new Audition VST goodies lately.
But if I try to open it from the desktop, the error msg reads:
AppName: audition.exe AppVer: 2.0.5306.2 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 6c694620
I tried the Run As solution that was posted here, but no joy.
In fact, I can't even uninstall and reinstall Audition because the process halts with a message that the
components.msi in the Windows folder is missing or bad.
I'm running this on a Sony Viao VGC-RC219G with Windows XP SP3.

Thanks, Steve, for your prompt reply.
I would have liked to uninstall and re-install, but either XP or Audition wouldn't let me.
I kept trying 'Repair' under the Add Or Remove Programs, but consistently there was an error message saying that a file '_1FEE7blahblahblah' in Data1.cab was missing or corrupt. I happen to have another copy of Audition running on my laptop, so I copied the Data1.cab to a thumbdrive and copied it into the Audition folder on my desktop computer.
It finally allowed me to run the repair and everything seems OK.
Even CS4 Premiere Pro has gone back to being broken. . .although I think it's a Quicktime issue.
The fun never stops.

MPEG MPG file formats & quick time player

hi
i am new to macbook n my Q is about the MPEG & MPG file formats every time i try to play them using quick time i just have a msg telling me that i cant do so and that quick time played cant open the file. so is there any other program that i can use for mac that can play suck files ??

Try installing flip4mac for QT. If that doesn't help you can use VLC. It is a nice program.

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

You will need to wait for the next camera raw update. You have two alternatives:
(1) Use Nikon software to convert. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1

QT 7 opens 720x480 MPEG-2 files @ 640x480 ?

Hello
When I open 720x480 MPEG-2 files in QT Pro 7 they are cropped to 640x480 which is also indicated as the "original size" in the info window.. This doesn't seem to affect the original file nor does it seem to matter which compressor I have used to compress them.
FWIW, VLC opens the same files @ 720x480.
Anyone know why this is happening ?
Thanks
Tim

They're not cropped, they're scaled. The reason is because NTSC and PAL video is 4:3 aspect ratio, but dots on a TV are not square. This means that the DV file for NTSC has to be 720x480, and for PAL it's 720x576. For playback on a computer screen that has square pixels the video is resized to get the 4:3 ratio back again.
The best resize for NTSC video is 640x480, because then the fields don't get intermingled. For PAL a size of 768x576 would be better, though I suspect that QuickTime would show it as 640x480 too. 720x540 may seem like another good NTSC choice, but for that the field lines have to be scaled up, and that may introduce strange field effects.

Mac won't open Premiere Project CC files created from PC

Hi,
I am helping a friend edit a series of short videos. He is on a Mac with the latest OS using Premiere Pro CC. I am on a PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit also using Premiere Pro CC. I did the rough cut for the first video, copied the folder (all clips and Premiere project files) to a USB key and handed it to him. We thought that Premiere on the Mac would open, the project would link to the clips in the same folder and he could start the final cut. Instead, Premiere on the Mac says that the Premiere Pro files appear to be damanged and won't open.
We will test using Adobe Cloud next time we meet but it takes a while for the files/clips to upload and download so we're not sure that's going to be a good workaround.
Any suggestions on how my friend and I can work together, him on Mac, me on PC, sharing clips and Premiere project files? Any help would be appreciated as I need to continue with my portion of the work.
Many thanks,
France

Hi Jim,
If I copy the relevant files to, say, a thumb drive, will Premiere be able to relink all of the clips when everything is copied over to the Mac? What we'd like to do:
1. I download the clips from the camera to a folder on my PC
2. Import the clips into a Premiere project
3. Do the rough cut.
4. Save the project file and any additional files in the same directory as the clips.
5. Copy entire directory to thumb drive and give to my friend.
If he loads the folder onto his Mac (keeping the same directory structure), is Premiere going to relink the clips to the project? I thought that's what Project Manager assists with. Some of the discussion threads talked about using a "Relink" or "Link" command but I couldn't find it in Premiere CC's menus.
Thanks,
France

ITunes won't open because the library file is locked

The iTunes 4 Music Library file is locked, on a locked disc, or I do not have write permission, what do I do? It was working perfectly until I plugged in my iPod. I waited, the iPod did not appear. The computer then told me that I had improperly disconnected it, yet I didn't touch it. So at that point I did disconnect it. My computer froze, so I restarted it and now iTunes won't open. Help!

Megan hello,
welcome to the Apple Discussions open the iTunes folder in your Music folder and select the iTunes 4 Music Library file... type cpmmand - D and this will duplicate the file... put the original file on the desktop and change the name of the duplicate to be the same as one you just moved ... double/click on this file after the name change... if all is okay you can trash the file on the desktop later..
let's know if it all works again Megan .... TP
