.avi on Mac from Classroom in a Book DVD

I'm new to Premiere Pro and teaching myself. One book I'm using is the Adobe Classroom in a Book Premiere Pro CS5, which has a sticker on it stating that it has "Free CS5.5 bonus content."
I'm trying to import one of the lesson files that is an AVI file but PP gives me a File Import Failure for this one file (MPEGs imported with no problems) stating "Codec missing or unavailable."
I opened the file in MPEG Streamclip and exported it using "Apple Photo - JPEG" compression. It imports just fine now.
My question: Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a one-time fluke or can I expect that other files on the CIB DVD may also require conversion to work on Mac?
Thanks.

Todd, thank you for the response. There were a few things going on, mainly about files that were not yet up at the Peachpit website specifically for the CS5.5 version of the book/files. In addition, there were some proofreading issues in the CS5.5 EPUB that is downloadable.
I received an email from someone at Peachpit who explained what was going on and pointed me to a link for downloading the updated files (4 or 5 GB of them). I've put them on my system, but haven't had a chance to use them yet.
So, with that background, I'll tell you about my system:
Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) with 2 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Xeon processors, 10 GB RAM, and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 supporting two 1920 x 1080 LCDs. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and QuickTime 7.6.6 as well as QuickTime 10.0. Final Cut Studio 7 has been my editor of choice, but with the release of FCP X I decided to purchase the Master Collection CS5.5 and learn PP and AE. (I work at a University and got a discounted price for the MC so I decided to upgrade my Design Collection CS4.)
My apologies for WTMI (way TMI). Give me some time to get through the newly downloaded stuff from Peachpit. If I'm still having issues I'll post again. Thanks again for your offer to help.

Issues loading lessons from classroom in a book

I am having problems loading some lessons from classroom in a book. Some work fine with others I get an error message that says there is a file import failure as the file format cannot be recognised. I have reloaded the lessons from te disc but the problem is still there is there an issue with the disc?
I am new to editing and find this most frustrating.
Many thanks for any help

That is a project file, not a data (video or sound) file
When you copied from the DVD to your hard drive, did you copy with the complete folder structure, to a folder on your hard drive?
If you tell PPro to load a project file, and the various data files are not where the project expects, you may receive an error message
But, I have never worked with Classroom in a Book, so don't really know what the project files need to work

I've installed PS CS6 trial version and still cannot open "Classroom in a Book" DVD? I have new mac

I've installed PS SC6 trial version but I cannot open "Classroom in a Book" DVD on my mac book pro. Any ideas what the problem can be?

Sounds like it could be a problem with the optical drive. I would recommend keeping an eye on your Superdrive to see if you experience any additional failures. If you can read the disc on another computer then copy the contents to a USB drive.
I ran into a similar issue with my Superdrive. It eventually got to the point where it could no longer read any optical media. At first though it was only particular discs which it failed with.

How do I stop my mac from trying to eject a DVD thats stuck in there?

So I've dented where my dvd goes in. I put a dvd in since i thought it would try come out (Stupid idea) now my macbook is just trying to constantly eject it. Is there anyway to stop it from doing that like a terminal code?

Okay - i just looked up yahoo questions on this problem - apparently apple - in their somewhat arrogant wisdom - have decided we all get this whether we want it or not - every time we load a track onto our ipods. I DON'T WANT GAPLESS PLAYBACK! It take HOURS to go through my music library EVERYTIME I LOAD A TRACK and I CAN'T STOP IT! Apparently the only way to fix this is to uninstall itunes quote: "itunes *****" unquote - and just drag and drop music files straight from your computer files into your ipod files. I will be doing this - a friend of mine got so annoyed that she threw her ipod in the bin, went out and bought herself a creative zen - and bought three for her kids as well. Creative Zen does not have this very annoying problem - AND she had no trouble loading her itunes library to her Zen player. (PS - astericks above are apple's idea not mine - apparently su_c_ks is a dirty word :))

Problem Playing AVI Files From Adobe Classroom In A Book

Hiya,
I just bought the Adobe Classroom In A Book for Premiere Pro CS4. However, when I try to run Lesson 1, Premiere Pro appears to be having a cow with the AVI file needed for the project. It tells me that the codec is missing or unavailable. I'm using a MacBook Pro on Leopard and, according to the updater agent, I'm up-to-date. Has anyone tried this book? And run into problems? Any solutions to offer me? This is driving me bonkers!
Please and thank you!

Hm-m, the DV-Type II's *should* play fine in QT. At least they do with QT on my PC. Adobe is usually pretty good at getting their CiaB assets X-platform. Wonder what's going on here. I think that this is the third thread on CiaB assets not playing on a Mac. Odd indeed, and probably just a "mess up" on someone at Adobe Press.
Had similar with a Painter 3.0 book, years ago. The author had to send me 11 CD's before we found one that had the PC files on it. All the rest were Mac-only and she was really pissed at her publishing house. However, she hung in there, and we got it sorted out.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I have completed the tutorial Adobe LR5 Classroom in a Book. I have a MacBook Pro. Every photo that I import from either my hard drive or the tutorial has red where white should be. What in the world am I doing?

I have installed LR5 on my MacBook Pro. I have completed a book that had online tutorials called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Classroom in a Book. All of my photos that are in my tutorial and the ones that I have imported from my hard drive have red on them where white should be. I see this immediately when switching from Library to Develop before I do anything to the photo except import it. I would appreciate any tips!

You are seeing red because that is the color of the clipping indicator. It is indicating that the whites are being clipped. You can turn off the clipping indicator by clicking on the little square in the upper right-hand corner of the histogram. Or you can adjust your highlights, whites and exposure until the red disappears. If you see blue on your photos that is indicating that the shadows are being clipped, and that is controlled by the little square in the upper left-hand corner of the histogram.
As a side note, you can activate or deactivate both clipping indicators by simply pressing the J key while in the develop module.

What software is required to view Photoshop CC "Classroom In A Book" downloadable video lesson files from Peachpit? (edited by mod for clarity)

Hi all, I am a brand new student, so what I know about photoshop right now is virtually nill. I have the Adobe Photoshop CC classroom in a book. In the back of the book there is a key code to register your book at Peachpit.com. Upon registering the book, you are given lessons to download. I have done this. My problem is no device on my computer will allow me to view these lessons. I already have windows media player and real player cloud and neither one are allowing me to view these. I've already lost hours of study time trying to figure this out, does anyone out there know what I can do or know what I can download. On the RealPlayer cloud site they said WINDVD was a good alternative, this was not the case for me, it totally wacked out my computer putting me even further behind. Help?

Have you asked the book publisher?

Free Excerpts from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Classroom in a Book

Hi Guys,
I just posted a new blog with links to excerpts from the Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book. Along with the excerpts are links to the pertinent topics in Help. These links should clear up any confusion you may come across as you work through the excerpts.
If you are new to Adobe Premiere Pro or are switching from another NLE, I can highly recommend this book. The links to the excerpts are here on my blog.
By the way, at the bottom of the blog post are links to free excerpts for Adobe After Effects, including video tutorials.

Adobe is getting better all the time, should have been easy to read 5 years ago, it does give you more confidence.
Thanks

PSE 3.0 - Classroom in a book - MAC Version

Where can I purchase "Photoshop Elements 3.0, Classroom in a Book - MAC Version? I've looked everywhere that I know of! Thanks.

AFAIK, there was no mac version of that edition of the book. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they only did a windows book for PE 3.

Installing Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition (mid-2009 mac book pro with mountain lion) My computer won't boot from the Windows 7 Install DVD.

Hello,
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro (mid 2009, MBP53). I have successfully created a bootcamp partition using the assistant. When the computer tries to boot from the windows 7 install dvd, the screen is just black. The dvd spins for a bit, then stops and the computer is just black (no blinking cursor).
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

What kind of an install DVD are you using for Windows?
You can use any DVDs that are hardware specific. Only the full non-hardware soecific DVDs work on the Mac.
