Can I add a Tivo codec to Premier Elements?

I have Premier Elements 11, on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I also have Tivo Roamio, with their transfer software which will copy shows from the Tivo box onto my computer hard drive. I have recorded some movies I want to share with my kids when they come home from college this summer (one-time viewing, strictly private, in-home only). The video transfers show up as FILENAME.Tivo files; if I want, I can convert those into mpg files, via software by Pavtube. However, some shows will not convert completely; and, if I could avoid a time-consuming (and possibly lossy; not sure about that) conversion step, that would be nice.
So, the question becomes, can I install some codec into Premier Elements, that will allow it to recognize and handle filename.Tivo files?
If anyone can tell me where to find that kind of codec, and give me the basics of a step-by-step installation, to get the codec into a location where the Premier software can find and use it, that would be very appreciated.

Another quick update -
I've been trying the ctivo software, and have not seen any advantages over the combination of "Tivo Desktop" to transfer the files, followed by Pavtube to convert them into other formats that Premier can handle. Both software types seem to fail on the exact same files, and the 12 minute mark is a common, almost thematic failure point. Neither one provides any indication (at least, none that I can find) of why, and/or what went wrong, or whether I can do anything to fix it. Each time I have I tried one or more additional attempt, I have always gotten the same result.
ctivo provides a yellowish "Failed" color and message on its progress bar, with no other info.
Pavtube doesn't, and I have to check each converted file, to see if it's a good file. On occasion, the converted file size is only a small fraction of the expected number, and I'll know it's bad without checking further. More commonly, I have to check the final seconds of any file, to see if it still has a good picture. If any file conversion fails at some point, the entire screen shifts into static gobbledy-****, and I have never seen any converted file shift back to a good signal after a failure point like that.
I'm going to start looking into posts and threads at videohelp.com, to see if anyone there can help.

how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

LGSh
Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
More later.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

HI Can I add a child node to an Element Node with a name that exists

HI,
Can I add a child node to an Element Node with a name that is already existing in the Element Node.
Let me explain what I need exactly.
My Existing element Node looks like this:
<form>
<name>
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</name>
</form>
Can I add another child node with hte name 'FirstName' to the 'name' node ..?
I want to put a attribute rvsn with a value 1 for the original 'FirstName' element Node.
so the new Element Node should look like the foloowing:
<form>
<name>
<FirstName rvsn="1"></FirstName>
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</name>
</form>
Hopefully this is valid XML !!
when I tried to use appendChild, it removed the previous node and put the new one. Thats what is the documentation also said.. I read it after I tried it :(
Anyway, ther should be another way to add a node like that.
Any hints, ideas will be of great help.
-Thanks in advance !!

Can't add a .ts file to Premiere Elements 12

Hi all,
it's me again. I tried to add a .ts file to Premiere Elements 12, but the program crashes every time. My system is a Macbook Pro OS X 10.9, 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM.
This is what Mediainfo says about the file:
I thought it's because of the file size. The original file is 8 GB (I recorded it with a sat-receiver). So I used the cutter to make it smaller but Premiere still crashes.
I tried another thing and used a video converter program, exported the same file also as a .ts file, and this one I can add to Prmiere without any problems. I just don't want to do this with every file because it takes the whole night to convert one single file :O
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
Jessie

ATR,
thanks for answering. You're right, the .ts format is not listed as import format, but I read about it in a few forums as I searched for a program according to my requirements and that is not too expensive.
However, last night I tried a lot and I read a lot about the codecs because I assumed my problem has to do something with the audio layers. I created two test files, and I was able to import one file, but not the other. The audio layer was the only difference between these two files. So I installed the missing AC3- and A52-codec and it worked so far. Though I have to say that I don't really know if that was the issue as I found out it takes quite a time for Premiere to import these large .ts files. I always thought the program crashed, you know, a spinning mouse pointer, no reactions at all, the small window with the import progress stayed at 0 % the whole time, and when I right-clicked on the icon in the dock it said "Program is not responding".
I also found out that I can transcode the .ts files with VLC player (much faster than the other program I used before) and reduce the audio bitrate, and Premiere works much faster with the new transcoded file.
So I think I can live with this workaround
Thanks again,
Jessie

Can I download a DV tape to Premier Elements without a firewire connection?

I recently purchased a new HD camcorder as well as Premier Elements 10. One of the tasks that I'd like to accomplish via Premier Elements is to download my old DV tapes to my hard drive, which the software seems to support. The instruction manuals and video tuitorials mention that this transfer / capture must generally be done with a firewire connection (which my computer does not have). However, my new HD camcorder downloads via a USB connection without a problem. I tried to download from the DV camcorder using a USB connection and (sure enough) Premier Elements wouldn't recognize the old camcorder. Does anyone know why is this a problem / what the compatibility issue is? Is there a way to download the DV tapes to my hard drive without having to purchase and install a new firewire connection to my existing computer and buying a new firewire cord?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

For Capture of tape in PrE, you will need FW. If your computer does not have FW, then you have a couple of choices:
Add a FW (IEEE-1394) card
Add a FW connection to a laptop via either a PCMCIA, or ExpressCard
Good luck,

Can you install 2 different versions of premier elements on same macbook pro 11 and 13

I have just purchased premier elements 13 and want to install it on my macbook pro which already has premier elements 11. Full Versions both.
Also have adobe photoshop elements 13 and want to install on same macbook pro which has CS5 extended...
Is this OK? ALL working so far with yosemite.

The old "pop the DVD in, hold down Option or Command + C and just do a clean install on your new drive doesn't cut it?
As for SL, it has to be retail, can't be the OEM gray disc from another Mac specific model.
First, start up your computer from the Mac OS X Install DVD.
Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD. After it mounts, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
Choose Startup Disk from the View menu.
Select the Mac OS X Install DVD as the startup disk and click Restart.

Can't Burn WMV file created by Premier Elements 8

I organized a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 8 which then opened Adobe Premier 8. Adobe Premier 8 created a .WMV file of slide show. I have tried to burn the .WMV file using Ashampoo Burning 8. Ashampoo runs but in the end annouces DVD burn has failed. I can burn a CD so I dont think its Plextor drive. Ashampoo tech seems to be of no help. Am wondering if anyone else has trouble burning WMV files of slideshows?

Thanks again.
I did as you suggested and I'm basically back to where I started.
I outputted a Pr8 slideshow to PrE. I then burned the slideshow onto a DVD using the "share" function at PrE.
It is incredibly slow -- takes about 3 hours -- but it did burn the DVD. I did this before on earlier versions of Elements (Pr6, I think), and now I remember why I stopped doing it.
The resulting DVD is not acceptable. Two main problems.
First, instead of smooth, continuous panning and zooming, every single slide, after the fade transition, is still, and then it jerks into panning and zooming.
Second, the overall quality is not so great. Lots of shimmer/jiggle during the panning and zooming, and a lot of general mushiness. Text I've inserted onto slides often has really mushy edges. I've completely given up trying to use a shadow color behind text because even though it looks good in the preview when I'm making the slideshow, on screen using the DVD, it just compounds the problem of the mushiness.
We have a brand new, high-end HP computer with Windows 7 with all programs and drivers fully updated, so I don't think there is a problem outside Adobe.
Because PrE generated DVDs that weren't so good (sorry) , I started saving the Pr8 slideshows as .wmv files and then trying to use Roxio to burn the .wmv file onto a DVD using its encoding. Roxio generated one DVD that way that worked very well: much sharper quality photos and text and smooth, continuous panning and zooming, but then Roxio started generating error messages at the end of the DVD-creation process and Roxio tech support tells me it is an unsolvable problem, so they're refunding my money.
I prefer Adobe anyway and only tried Roxio because of the problems with Adobe DVDs mentioned above.
So, is there any other way I can go about this within Adobe that will help solve the pan-zoom and mushiness problems?
I really appreciate your help. It takes me many hours to create these slideshows of family vacations and it's very frustrating to then end up not being able to generate the end product - a quality DVD - at the end.

Why can't I import audio into Adobe Premier Elements 12 anymore?

It has worked fine on several previous projects. Now when I try to import music files from my library I get a "the importer reported a generic error" message. Not very helpful. Video still imports normally, I only have problems with Audio

hatrik10
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to the 12.1 Update? If not, please do so.
Where is this library from where you are importing music files? The iTunes library with iTunes music?
If so, convert the iTunes music in iTunes to the wav version and then import the wav version into the Premiere Elements project.

Bridge / Lightroom and Premier Elements

Am I missing something obvious? I am new to using Premier Elements, but use Lightroom, Phototoshop. In Design every day. So I use LR to manage my photographic files and Bridge for everything else.
I capture video on my camera in AVCHD, so Lightroom can't import or manage the files, despite the claims that it now supports video. Bridge doesn't seem to know of Premier Elements existence and instead I am expected to use yet another browser designed to work with PS Elements. Is their a work around for this, can Bridge be made to work with Premier Elements so I don't have to waste my time learning an entirely new management system. Seems a bit barmy to me that Bridge can't work with an Adobe product.

I know of no way to get Bridge to see and interface with PrElements. I use Bridge for most of my organizing, as I also use InDesign, PS, AI and PrPro. If I am using PrE, I just do a Get Media, though those might have been "organized" in Bridge.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can I add codecs to Adobe Media Converter?

I have two marketing professionals who from time to time have to convert media that a third party sends us to a format we can post on our internal intranet site. Being a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7, the most common format that will play in browser is WMV. One person can convert to WMV and a whole boatload of other formats are also available in the format column. Another person only has a few things in their format column like FLV and MPEG4. We tried the MPEG4 option and we copied the file to our intranet webserver and followed code guidelines here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_videos.asp but Windows XP clients using IE7 or 8 cannot playback the file. The only thing that seems to work for IE7/8 XP users is using this mess of code here: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/streaming/embed.html and ensuring that the video file is in WMV format.
So basically we need to add a way for the other person to get all the additional formats... really just the WMV format. The origninal file is a mov file and can be well over 100+ MB. The WMV file is about 20-30 MB and on a LAN is is much better than 100+ mb. Plus WMV just natively works without installing additional software on 100+ employees machines.
Thank you for your help.
Adobe CS5.

We ended up purchasing a program for $35 to convert the video.
Seems like the Adobe Creative suite includes Media Encoder, but only the most advanced CS suite with Premier adds all the codecs to Media encoder. First I did try adding things like sharks windows xp codec pack and others. While that allows playback of various h.264, x.264, mkv and other file formats, it does not add anything like wmv to Adobe Media Encoder.
$35 wasn't a bad price compared to Adobe Premier which would be a waste to spend money on something they just need to convert - not produce video.

Please remind us on what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 13 is running
Using your own music.....
Yes, with important but.....
Details
If your music is from iTunes, more than likely you will get some sort of error message from the program when you try to import the iTunes music into Premiere Elements (most versions including 13). In that case, please convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes using the following iTunes instructions.

If you are getting program error message using Premiere Elements 13 Add Media/Files and Folder with other than iTunes music, please give the source and properties of that music.
Using USB Microphone....Not recommended by Adobe....See Adobe ReMe
Details
As for Premiere Elements narration clips using the its Narration Tool
1. Adobe documentation indicates the USB microphone do not work in Premiere Elements and suggest the use of microphones that connect to the computer via computer jack.
But, there are some scattered cases where the user has found a USB microphone that has worked for him or her.
2. Be sure to check Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings to assure that Input and Output are enabled.
3. There have been reports (Premiere Elements several versions) where addition of narration using the Narration Tool results in loss of pre-existing
sound on numbered audio track clips and soundtrack.

Zillenwater said: You can export a FLIP video clip using Picasa 3, and then bring it into Premiere Elements. The video and audio will successfully come in.
Thanks much - this worked very well and was so easy. After spending hours looking at a lot of different converters and getting nowhere, I spotted this solution.
I used Flip avi files directly from the camera, copied them into a folder that Picasa 3 could find, and then exported them. They showed up in my /My Documents/My Pictures/Picasa/Exported Videos folder as Windows Media Files (.wmv). I brought my test files into Premiere Pro 1.5, previewed them, placed them in the timeline and rendered them. they looked good here, so I exported my movie and the video looks pretty good, considering it was from the Flip.
Picasa did something that a dozen other conversion programs couldn't get right (or at least I couldn't find the right combination of codecs and settings). It's a relief, alright, and information I'm happy to share.
