Bridge CS5 thinks mpg files are audio-only

CS5 Production Premium.
But when I installed I wasn't sure this was going to be the "final home", so I decided to install as a trial with the intent to either move/reinstall later, or just plug in the serial number.
As a "trial", I quickly discovered that none of the apps recognized MPEG-2 files correctly. Yes, I failed to note that in the readme, but once I encounterer the problem I knew what was wrong.
Added the serial number, and as I restarted the various apps most of them noted the missing codecs and installed them for me. So now, all of the apps properly recognize .mpg files.
Except Bridge. No matter what I do, Bridge still thinks all the .mpg files are audio only. The main list shows the thumbnail as expected, but Preview thinks it's an audio file and only plays the audio.
This is not a critical thing, because I don't really use Bridge much for my video files. But short of reinstalling, is there some way to perhaps "nudge" Bridge into properly recognizing the .mpg?
Brad.

I am having the same problem. Installed purchased copy of Premiere Pro. Did not do trial first.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

  • In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

    I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
    The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
    Video:
    The file is 2:21:29 in length.
    720x480
    Data rate 1489kbps
    Total bitrate 1617kbps
    29 frames/second
    Audio:
    Bit rate 128kbps
    Channels 2 (stereo)
    Audio sample rate 48 kHz
    The file is about 1.6Gb
    This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
    The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
    I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
    Suggestions?!

  • Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

    Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

    Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
    Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing.  I tried selecting the DRM
    and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some.  Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
    Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v.  I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file.  Then exported as an .mov.  I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes. 
    You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file.  Does this make sense?  I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

  • .mpg files lose audio when imported to FCP

    Has anyone lost only the audio tracks of a clip with an .mpg extention after importing to FCP? The audio plays in Quicktime, but FCP will not recognize it, nor will Soundtrack Pro. I'm at a loss here.

    mpg files are muxed (mixed audio and video). FCP wants separate threads for audio and video.
    Convert the files using Mpeg Streamclip (google it, it's free) to convert the files to an editable format - say DV-NTSC quicktime.

  • How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?

    I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
    Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?

    The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
    If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
    I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
    Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.
    I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before
    You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
    I agree.
    Are you always moving them around?
    When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
    Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
    Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
    *OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
    I have several hundred playlists with these files
    Why would you have several hundred playlists?
    I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
    Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
    I just need an answer to the question.
    Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time.

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • App file sharing: files are displayed only the first time...

    clicking somewhere else and then back to the application that you want to share files are not there any more.
    I've to close and re-open the itunes in order to see them again.
    itunes is running on windows 7 64bit.
    is this a bug ?
    thank you.

    Hi! I have the same, exact problem. The files are displayed only the first time I look at the apps listed under File Sharing. If I look at another app on the list, the files on the one I previously checked are gone when I look at it again. Is there any way to fix this? I have a Lenovo X61s on Windows XP Professional 32 bit.

  • Why does my iPad 2 think my iTunes U videos are audio-only?

    I downloaded some iTunes U videos via iTunes 10.5.2 and they play fine (as videos with full audio) in iTunes 10.5.2 on my MacOS 10.5.8 dual G5 PowerMac.  However, when I sync up my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1 via USB cable with the above iTunes 10.5.2 containing the above iTunes U videos, the iPad2 somehow thinks they are just audio-only files and they show up in the Music app (double tapping them in the Music app just plays the audio part of the file without any video) instead of the Videos app (which I would expect to find them).  After all, when I sync up non-iTunes U movies to my iPad 2, it recognizes them as regular videos and they show up and play fine in the Videos app.  And since I can watch the videos on my PowerMac desktop, it's obvious that the video hasn't been somehow stripped out.  Is there a setting I can batch-set on all these iTunes U files in iTunes that will allow the iPad 2 to recognize them as videos instead of only audio?

    If you have the WiFi-only iPad (which does not have GPS) your location is determined by the mapped location of nearby WiFi routers.
    Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured.
    The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing routers and then adding/updating the router's locations into the database.
    Note to be used for location determination, a device does not need to be actually connected to a router, it just has to see the router. More precise location determination can be done if several nearby routers can be seen. When a router is moved from one location to another erroneous locations can sometimes be reported until the router's location is corrected in Apple's database. This may be the source of your problem.

  • Bridge CS5.1 – Disappearing File Names (Now You Don't See It All)

    Bridge CS5.1. Lion 10.7.2. 27" iMac native display at native resolution.
    For some reason, in Lion (but not Snow Leopard) Bridge cuts-off the bottom line of long file names (see the screenshot). Irritating. Difficult if I'm trying to distinguish between ‘Long File Name (1)’ and ‘Long File Name (2)’ where the (1) and the (2) have partly disappeared off the bottom, hidden under the bottom scroll-bar.
    It seems to be something to do with the window resizing as Bridge, whilst not adapting the size of the thumbnails to fit the window size, produces a scroll-bar instead (see bottom right hand corner of screenshot). This doesn't happen in Snow Leopard.
    I've tried fiddling with all the parameters which could effect Bridge's window display, but to no avail.
    You can add this to the the other display problem with Adobe Camera Raw (see previous postings). Nice if Adobe could fix this too.
    Sorry, this screenshot is hopelessly and incomprehensibly small owing to Adobe’s image size upload restrictions – so you’ll have to trust me on the disappearing file names and the scroll-bar.

    Well, gentleman (gentleman, I assume) your answers are of no real help to me unless you have Lion to test this on.  There is no relevant comparison to make since I have already established that this works correctly in Snow Leopard.
    Yes, it is a man, I leave the qualification Gentle to you
    I was more curious to the solutions you have done and when something does work on snow leopard and not in Lion will not automatically need to be qualified as a bug unless you tried different solutions.
    Have you tried to delete the 'lastusedworkspace' file from the user library, resetting preferences and even deleted the plist file from the user library prefs?  And did you try the default film strip mode.  Or other default workspaces, is it only your own customized workspace that shows this behavior? What have you set as additional info lines in the Bridge prefs.
    If it seems a bug you should report it as such at Adobe, this is still a user to user forum. But with Lion still in development and wide spread known as a bit buggy it might also be wise to throw the same bug report at Apple.

  • Bridge CS5 corrupts CR2 files when extracting thumbnails (Win8.1 64bit)

    I'm using Design Premium CS5 on two computers -  Lenovo T510 with Windows 7 (64 bit) and a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Windows 8.1 (64 bit).  Everything works fine on the Win 7 machine.  On the Yoga, if I download Raw files, they look fine until Bridge begins extracting thumbnails.  Once that process begins, most of the files are corrupted, becoming bands and boxes of color:
    I tried updating the software, reinstalling, and opening the files in Camera Raw and Photoshop.  Nothing seems to change the outcome.  I continue to be able to use the Win 7 machine with no problems.  I intended the Yoga to be my travel computer for trips in which photography will be the main focus.  Given this problem, I only see two solutions unless I'm able to fix it.  One is to carry either only the Win 7 computer or both computers.  The other is to not open the files into Bridge and take it on faith that the photos were successfully downloaded before formatting my media.  Neither of those solutions is very satisfactory.  I hope someone out there can help me find a solution that will make the Yoga work as I had hoped.  FYI, JPEGs work fine.  I suppose that would be another solution: only shoot in JPEG.

    Smash87,
    Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
    I have already tried what you suggested but it didn't work at first. I will try it again just to see if it works this time but to be frank I don't expect it will.
    Another problem is the fact that I didn't have this issue with CS4 which is the version you are using. The problem appeared once I switched to CS5. The fact that your issue was resolved in CS4 is no guarantee the same will happen to CS5. In fact, it is almost a given it will not considering Adobe's track record with Bridge. Every new version of Bridge brings along with it a new set of problems and challenges. I am really getting tired of it. Now please keep in mind that my collection of images includes a few thousands of folders each containing anywhere between 200 and 1000 images. Adobe shouldn't have to force a customer to have to purge the cache and rebuild all previews when this customer (as it is my case) has thousands of folders and/or images. This is just insane.
    They really need to get this application working right. One would imagine that it would have happened by now since they have already had 5 versions of this application to do it plus the file browser application experience before Bridge was formally introduced. So, what is happening Adobe ???
    Thanks again for your help and suggestion.

  • Bridge CS5 using CS4 files cache problem

    If I use Bridge CS4 on a directory and subsequently open the same  directory with Bridge CS5, Bridge insistes on rebuilding thumbnails and  previews (as indicated on the bottom status line).    If I subsequently reopen the directory in Bridge CS4, it  again rebuilds thumbs and previews - however only thumbs seem to be rebuilt.   The Preferences in both versions  of Bridge are "identical".  The bridge cache files are maintained in the image directories.
    The cache construction seems to be quite fast (faster than anticipated) - I am not sure what, if anything, is being rebuilt.
    Is this an expected  operation?
    This presents some difficulties in that I  have 530,000 images (7 terabytes)  on Bridge CS4 and the reconstruction  of the files would literally take weeks to rebuild.

    as there supposed to be seperate programs and independant of one another this is surprising 'not'
    I have been onto adobe thru there support link regarding bridge issues and they
    advise to uninstall bridge cs4 using there ceanscript.
    well its a fiddly tool and no mention of just removing bridge cS4 it wants to remove cS4EXT too,
    which i'm not readt to remove, plugins etc......
    anyway, cant help, but there was a bridge CS5 patch released yesterday.
    i have noticed that some of issues no longer seem to occur
    so it may be wise to download it as it didnt auto download.
    also i have seen the same issue you state so your not alone.
    not sure whether the patch addresses the issue as ive only had it updated a few hours

  • Cannot deinstall ps cs4 and bridge cs5 open all files in CS4 instead of Cs5

    I temporarily could not make the Eastman Kodak ROC Professional plug-in work in my PS CS5 so I tried other programs to use this plug-in in. I therefore installed an old PS Elements 5 and PS CS4 (my present PS CS5 is bougth as an update from CS4) . However now the plug-in works fine in my PS CS5 and I of course prefer to work in this. I have, however,  acquired a new problem: The only way I can open picture files in PS CS5 is via the files menu in Photoshop itself. If I try to open via Bridge (and it is Bridge CS5) I can only open the files in PS CS4.  I cannot deinstall PS CS4. Bridge CS5 states that "open in PS CS4 is the default action".
    Sorry if this is a foolish question.
    Git Amager1

    Sorry not to have reacted to the above for so long. Even after doing as you proposed things did not work. In the end I (after the Christmas Holidays) I did reinstall the pc - changed from Vista to windows 7. I do not know what caused the problem initially but at least I think I can conclude that one should not install the cs4 software after having installed cs5. Thank you for your support.

  • Adobe Bridge cs5 cannot obtain files from this device.

    I download photos to my computer using a Kingston downloading device.
    Since installing Mavericks the above message comes up and will not carry out the download.
    Is this a known problem with Mavericks and is there a remedy?
    I would say that using the same device my photos download perfectly on my MacBook Pro.

    1. Adobe Bridge CS5.1 cannot obtain files from this device.
    Please ensure that the device is connected properly and that the battery is charged and try again.
    2.I also get a message telling me that the "disk was not ejected propery" which is not the case.

    Thanks Eric
    The MacBook Pro is not running Mavericks and sorry about the double post.
    I have actually solved the problem and the answer might be of use to others with the same problem.
    There is a firmware update that will correct the problem.
    It's at
    http://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/products?model=fcr-hs3
    There is a small catch in  that the firmware update can only be done on a Windows machine but I have been told that once this is done it can be used with OSX9 .I have just done the download but  I haven't checked this out yet.

  • FF thinks PDF files are binary files, doesn't give me the option to open them

    I just got a new Mac, running OSX 10.7 Lion. I downloaded Firefox because I like it better than Safari. It's Firefox 7.0.1.
    Aside from the fact that I can't figure out how to get all my bookmarks from the old mac to the new one, a really annoying thing is that I can't get the new Firefox to recognize PDF files as Acrobat documents. It thinks they are "binary" files, and the only option I have is to save them to disk.
    I looked at the Applications preferences, and there is no entry for PDF files. I can't seem to create one. I checked the help and it says that to add a download preference you find the type of file you're interested in, click to download it, and tell it "open with" the application you want. But I don't get that option with PDF files, it doesn't let me tell it what to open it with, the only thing it allows me to do is either save to disk or cancel.

    I use Internet Explorer for my browser.
    A/A - I have reinstalled the latest version of AdobeReader.
    When I click an attachment to view it, the first option I am given is to 'save' the file, and then the next pop up message gives me the option to either 'open' or 'view file'. The thing is that I don't want to 'save' each file to my laptop to allow me to see it. I want to be able to merely 'open' the file to view aithout actually saving it first.
