Bridge CS5 - no MPEG-2 transport stream preview

Can anybody help?
I m running Win7 64 bit, ProdPremium CS5.
I capture from camera via firewire MPEG files.
The preview in Bridge CS5 is not psossible (only thumbnail is present).
Preview using Windows media player and Nero Showtime is running fine.
No preview in G-Spot (rendering failed-following is the error reported by DirektShow).
What can i do, i dont want install some codecs, not knowing if there will be another failure or not in my system.

Let me follow up on my post about installing 3rd party CODECs: DON"T!!!!!!!!!!
I did it and ended up having to do a clean re-install of my entire workstation from ground up. They got in there and next thing I knew Premiere slowed to a crawl and capture went to H**L. I was told by an Adobe staffer on this forum that I had made a big error in doing that and it was true.
Now I just wish they would help us/me resolve this no MPEG preview in Bridge and Windows Media Player. Please, please, please!
36 hours and still re-conforming my money-machine. rg

Placing PCR on Video Component in MPEG-2 Transport Stream

Hi all,
does anyone here know how to use compressor 3.0.1 to create an MPEG-2 TS (easy enough), but also place the PCR on the video component.
Also how do you about changing the PID values from the apple default?
Kind Regards,
excelsior01

Exactly: "mts". Don´t know about the camera,
but I somehow managed to export from VLC,
don´t know how, and it took about 75 min.
to render that file in FCE.
We are getting there.....
But f... the industry for these incompatible formats!

MPEG-2 Transport Stream to QT?

Hey
Caught in the jungle of video formats....
What do I do with the above?
Plays back in VLC, but not in QT.
No matter how I export it.
Help! Thanks!

MPEG-2 Video, .m2v, Transport-Streams

I have searched through all of the Forum but still no solution.
Like many people here I have QT PRO (on Leopard) and the MPEG-2 Playback Codec (Version 6.4.1) installed. When I record from TV via Cable or DVB-T I always get a MPEG-2 Transport Stream. I know how to handle these and I know how to convert them. My question is regarding the Finder Preview Issue.
When you have selected in Finder to show the Preview of a file it will go for a long cup of coffee when it comes to selecting a .m2v or MPEG Transport Stream file, i.e. the Finder crashes. This is a phenomina since QT 7. Apple promised a better handling of .m2v for the 10.3.9 Update but I cannot see any changes.
I don't need to preview those files if it is not supported. This would be nice to have but I don't really need to. Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to
1) prevent Finder Preview from crashing or
2) get this to work
I tried some hints from here like re-associating .m2v with the Quicktime Player but it didn't resolve my Issue. Is there maybe someone from Apple reading this and being able to help out?
Many thanks in advance.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe "true" transport streams have ever been supported by the QT MPEG-2 Playback component and, by extension, would not be supported by either the Finder Preview or QuickLooK.

M2V/AIFF elementary stream files, "muxed" MPEG (MPEG2/MP2 or MPEG2/MP1), and MOV (MPEG2/any compatible audio) all play fine for me in both the Finder Preview and QuickLook. The only problem are VOBs whose video content play fine in the QT Player but have to have their extension changed to MPEG to play in either the Finder Preview or QuickLook. Frankly, I am unable to duplicate your problem except for "true" MPEG-2 Transport Streams, which, as I previously said I don't believe have ever been QT compatible.

How to Import a MPEG-3-ts (Transport Stream) into Final Cut Pro ?

Hello All;
I just bought Final Cut Studio and I am trying to figure out how to import some video footage that I captured using ArcSoft's totalMedia software via a HD HomeRun High Definition TV decoder. I have verified that the video is being saved in MPEG-2 Transport Stream format but I've tried everything but still can't import it into Final Cut Pro. I've purchased the MPEG 2 Quicktime component but then realized that it doesn't work with Transport Streams. Then I downloaded MPEG StreamClip for Mac which does play the clips on a Mac but I need to obtain the codec so I can import them into Final Cut Pro. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thanks. Tim

I do:
"You need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to an editable format, such as those found in Final Cut Pro's Easy Setup menu.
For HD, your best choice is ProRes, DVCPro HD or Apple Intermediate Codec."
And so does Nick.

MPEG-2 with audio but no transport stream?

We have a Leightronix Nexus, which is a new whizbang digital video playback device for cable studios. It supports transfer of MPEG-2 files, but thus far I haven't been able to make a compatible MPEG-2 file with Compressor. Leightronix only does Windows so they've been of no help.
Here are the requirements as listed in the Nexus manual:
-MPEG-2 Program Stream, consisting of a single elementary video stream with an optional single elementary audio stream. In big letters it says "Transport stream is not possible."
The other specs seem fine; I think it's the lack of a transport stream that fouls it up. Compressor, in the audio checkbox, says "Select this to create an MPEG-2 Transport stream with multiplexed audio."
Is there a way to get audio into an MPEG-2 file without using a transport stream? If Compressor can't do this, are there any other (hopefully inexpensive) tools that can?
One interesting thing is if I copy one of the mpeg-2 files created on the Nexus itself (by having it digitize video), it plays quite fine in Quicktime Player.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Or, you can just use a freeware tool like MPEG Streamclip to combine Compressor's elementary .m2v output with its .AIFF audio and produce a multiplexed program stream. The $10 MPEG2 Works shareware app will also do the same (along with several other operations).

Write & read transport stream?

I have an HDTV card for my video server that reads & writes mpeg-2 transport stream files. The file format is from 'over the air' HDTV signals, and is uncompressed.
The files are playable by VLC and other players.
I understand that HDV is also mpeg-2 transport stream.
Is there a way for me to create TS files with Final Cut Pro that could be read by my HTDV card (thus giving me a very nice display)?
I'm also interested in reading the HDTV files into FCP.

Transport Stream Problems

My compressor keep locking up when I set it to export in "MPEG-2/Transport Stream" setting. I would like to export in this setting because I believe that this is how Toast encodes to BluRay.
Any ideas/thoughts/solutions?
Go Hornets!

I'm not sure about your transport stream problem, but Toast doesn't need it; it will use its AVCHD encoder on a regular QT movie; I exported a self contained QT movie from an FCP timeline, dragged it into the Toast window, and let it encode; it worked well.
If you send Toast a previously compressed file, it will encode it again in the AVCHD format, probably at a loss of quality.
Toast can burn the Blu Ray format to a standard DVD, giving you about 30 minutes of HD footage, and using your standard DVD burner.

No MPEG preview or playback in Bridge CS5

After doing a clean install of CS5, everything seems to work well except for Bridge.
HDV mpeg clips will not display a visual thumbnail
or playback in preview window of Bridge. When double-click
ing icon, I get an error "Windows
cannot find '%ProgramFiles(x86
)%Windows Media Player
\wmplayer.exe'.
When I double-click an AVI file, Bridge finds and uses Windows Media Player just fine.
Need MPEG preview badly!!!!
MPEG clips are working fine in Premiere Pro CS5 and AME rendering is awesome!!!
Thanks, rg

Hi Rick,
Regarding br asc's reply:
can you purge the video file in thumbnail panel to get new thumbnail?
I can playback mpeg video in bridge on my windows 7 64bit machine.
I am not sure what you did or what exactly did br asc meant.... Anyhow, let me describe my problem and what I did to overcome it:
My Problem:
In Bridge CS5 version 4.0.2.1, I am having problem previewing .MOV files. My .MOV files are from various source such as iPhone, 5DII, 7D, 550D and a few camcoders. The funny thing is some .MOV files preview ok while others not. It is not source dependent either as I've checked, by that I mean something like I have two .MOV files from say, the 5DII, with exact same settings when recorded, why does one preview ok and the other not in Bridge CS5???
What I did:
(1) In Bridge, go to menu
Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the File Type Associations (on left pan) and make sure QuickTime (.mov) is associated with your QuickTime Player on the right pan.
(2) In Bridge, go to menu
Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the Cache (on left pan) and click the [Purge Cache] button on the right pan to Purge All Cached Thumbnails and Previews.
After doing (1) & (2), I am able to preview every .MOV in Bridge CS5.
Not sure what I have done different to anyone else, but it seems to work for me. Hope it helps...

CS5.5 will not export MPEG2 Transport stream with mpg extension?

I am creating video for the local cable access channel. I have been using the MPEG2 NTSC DV High Quality preset. That preset outputs MPEG layer 2 audio. The cable access coordinator says that those files will not play audio from the Soloist media server, even though the specs for that server calls for MPEG layer 2 audio. Those files play ok in Windows Media Player. When analyzed with AVIcodec, GSpot, and VideoInspector, they all show there is MPEG layer 2 audio. The server shows no audio at all in one of it's reports.
I had previously been using an older version of Final Cut Pro and Compressor. I no longer have access to that computer but I believe I had been exporting a Program Stream. The access channel's documentation calls for Transport Stream. When exporting Transport Stream MuliplexingMPEG2 video in CS5.5 Media Encoder, the output file has the .m2t extension. These 3 codec analyzers aren't recognizing this as MPEG2. I assume that the video server will not recognize this m2t file extension at all. Final Cut's compressor did output the Program Stream MPEG2 with the mpg extension.
Is there a way to export Transport Stream MPEG2 video with MPEG layer 1 audio and have an .mpg file extension on the resulting file?
Also, anyone familiar enough with PID values to know if that could have any bearing on why the MPEG layer 2 audio is not being detected in that video server when I use the MPEG2 NTSC High Quality presets?
Thanks for any help.

Jeff,
I am still waiting to here back from the access channel coordinator to see if the test file encoded this way would be recognized and play correctly. The files can only be tested when the server is off-line so it takes awhile for a response. Thanks for your help. I'll post when I get word of that file status.

Does Premiere Pro CS5.5 support MPEG-2 Program Stream export format?

The title says it all, so I need to know am I able to export video from Premiere Pro CS5.5 in MPEG-2 Program Stream format?
I'm working on a ad spot for local tv channel and they only accept this format. Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
Juha Tuomimaki

No, I don't. I'm not an expert what comes to details on all the different video formats, but I'm quite sure that Transport Stream or TS and Program Strean (PS) are two different things.
Currently I see four options in PR Pro when exporting MPEG-2 and choosing the multiplexing method: MPEG2, DVD, TS and None. Basically, I know that the three last choices are not what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure is the first one (MPEG) same as Program Stream. Or maybe I need to install a whole different codec...? Very confusing.

How do I get Bridge CS5 to display CR2 previews???

Dear wonderful Adobe community
I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 from CS4. As far as I can read/ascertain/gather Camera Raw 6 came with the package and installed when the main installation ran.
Bridge CS4 displays my CR2 Raw file previews from my 5d MKII no problem. Bridge CS5 however does not and all I get is the statutory CR2 symbol.
Can someone please help help help!
Thanks :O)

David,
You may need to update Camera Raw to version 6.1RC (RC = Release Candidate or advanced beta).
ACR 6, which ships with CS5, was frozen a long time ago, before ACR 5.7 shipped, and it does not support some cameras supported by ARC 5.7 in CS4. I don't know if this applies to your camera model or not.
For more info:

You might need to purge the cache after updating to Camera Raw 6.1 and relaunching Photoshop and Bridge.

Bridge cs5 camera raw 6.5 to 6.5 and new bridge cs6 preview problem

Hi,
when i actualize camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview after 1 adjustment in camera raw.Image apears like when we open it in camera raw and it last few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several instals was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files in Windows 7 64 bits.
Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
Thanks

The camera raw add-on is the latest usable update for Windows, the canon 6d is listed as compatible. Has anyone an idea what to do?
The Canon 6D id NOT supported by ACR 6.7.1. It was supported for the very first time in ACR 7.3 whch requires CS6 to run.
Therefore you will never be able to open raw CR2 files from the 6D directly in CS5.
If you do not plan on upgrading, you can download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 (always use the latest version, it's not tied to your version of Photoshop at all), install it like any other application and then run it on each batch of CR2 files to convert them to raw DNG files that you can then open in your version of Photoshop and ACR.

I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever. I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw.
I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

Having trouble with Bridge CS5.1 building previews

I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 and it has stopped building previews that are correct, if I open the image in Camera Raw it looks accurate but the preview in Bridge is not even close?

Purge the cache.
