Can Premiere tell me which codec my file uses?

I've been testing PPro CS6 for a few days, and love a lot of what I see. PPro plays anything I throw at it, and it has a gazillion metadata fields, which has great potential (even if some of that potential is to confuse you when you've forgot which of the hundreds of fields you used). However:
For most files, including RED footage and Quicktime, there is no codec information. "Compression" and "Format" fields are all blank. Even the Info tab just says "type: Movie". This happens with MOV's in H.264 and ProRes, R3D, and more.
I know that Premiere wants me not to care about what kind of video I'm working with, but I do care. Also, it helps when preparing edits to go to other applications and systems.
Is it just a problem with my system? Is it something I'm missing?

    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • Which codec should I use to edit HD footage in Premiere Pro?

    I am shooting with a Sony NXCAM which gives me AVCHD .MTS files. I am an old FCP user switching to Premiere Pro. I used to transcode the footage to Apple Pro Res 422 and most of my stock footage is now in this codec. I know Premiere Pro accepts all codecs but I need to offline my footage using the Project Manager. Can you tell me which is the best codec in Premiere pro to edit and transcode footage to now? The only one I can see that kind of matches is AVC INTRA - I 100.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Adam

    Edit in the codec you shot in ( source file) is good practice
    Drag a clip onto the NEW ITEM ICON (bottom of Project Window) and  PPRO will match up a sequence.
    Good starting point.

    Path:

  • HT204382 Can anyone tell me how to open files in the format 'radio.ram' ?

    Can anyone tell me how to play files in radio.ram' format, as an add-on to QuickTime or whatever?

    Wow, that's a name from the past, Real Player. 
    And it worked.
    It's a product that I'd completely forgotten about going back to my days struggling with Windows on IBM clones and shows that I haven't tried listening to streaming Internet radio in a long, long time!
    Thank you very much, Varjak, for your help.

  • Can you tell me which iPhone/iPad mini charging adapter charges more quickly - traveling in Italy. Thanks.

    Can you tell me which iPhone/iPad mini charging adapter charges more quickly?  Traveling in Italy.  Thanks.

    You will need a 12 watt adaptor for the iPad Mini, so use the one that came with it. The phone can be charged from the same adaptor. Charging speed should be the same although everything in Italy runs slower.
    You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor.
