Can't import mov and mpg files into cs5.5

Hi
When I import a mpg file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
There was an erro decompressing audio or video
When I import a mov file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
Importer reported a generic error.
Good news is, that I have simply imported both files in the past without any troubles. So I hope it is something very simple.
Maybe I have somewhere codec installed in the past (k-light) and something now doesn't work that well anymore.
But I don't know if I have done this anymore and a desktop search didn't deliver me any results.

I've installed Premiere Pro now on a different windows7 platform.
Still the same. Can't import the mpg file. Somehow the mov file works here so that is something.
Anyway I thought maybe it is helpful to share some data about the video:
Container:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
Audio:
AC3
0xbd[0x80]:48000Hz 256 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot)
Video:
Codec MPEG2 Name MPEG-2
Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot).

I can't import .mov and .mp4 videos into Lightroom 5? Why?

I'm not able to import videos (iPhone) into Lightroom 5. I've tried .mov and .mp4. Is there a cause/fix for this?

I've no idea the cause, nor a proper fix.
But here is a possible interim solution:
'Import Any Videos' script (free, by me):
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
It just re-encodes (or re-wraps) the video into a format that Lr likes, which you can do without the script if you have the tools and the know-how..

Problem importing Premier Pro CS4 files into CS5

I have loaded Premier Pro CS5 onto a spanking new 64 bit machine. When I import a CS4 project file into CS5, it asks me to locate the raw video files but nothing else. All titles with graphics in them are without the graphics. The text is OK. The graphics have disappeared. How do I import a project so the titles are complete and don't have to be rebuilt? .

Can you please give your system specs?
In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

HT4622 How to import .band and .mid files into GarageBand for iOS

Using GarageBand for MacOS X, I have no difficulty importing and playing .mid (MIDI) files. Indeed, I can even rename .kar (Karaoke) files to .mid, import them into GarageBand for MacOS X and see the lyrics along with the score. Using File Sharing for iOS apps in iTunes.app, I have tried to import .mid and .band files (made from .mid files with GarageBand for MacOS X) using this mechanism. I get no errors but it doesn't seem to work. That is, neither the .band file nor the .mid file are accessible from within GarageBand for iOS as far as I can tell. What should I be doing instead?

As I understand it GarageBand for iOS .band projects can be imported to GarageBand for OS X, but the reverse isn't true. GarageBand for iOS does not import midi files.
The File Sharing section of iTunes doesn't validate the files you put into it, but if the app doesn't like the structure of the file it will just ignore it.

Can I import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
I started with OWB10g and created a repository. After creating several modules I realized I had an Oracle 9.2 database in which to deploy the runtime stuff.
I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer.
I exported the 10g repository information to an MDL file.
I dropped the 10g repository and created a 9.2 repository and also installed the 9.2 runtime components. All is cool so far.
I then wanted to import the MDL file from the 10g repository into the 9.2 repository and its then I hit the snag.
Is it possible to import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?
I was hoping the format was a standaard CWM type that would be recognized by either version but it looks like I'm incorrect.
Any other suggestions on how to get the 10g repository information into the 9.2 repository?
I still have the 10g repository on another server so I am able to do other types (?) of exports or whatever.
Many thanks for the help.
Gary

Gary,
I am puzzled by the reason "I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer." OWB 10g comes with its own copy of 10g Universal Installer. I am not claiming to ever install on AIX myself, but can you list the errors you get, perhaps we can troubleshoot the underlying problem, rather than working around it.
Not to dodge your question on exporting 10g MDL to 9.2. Even though this is an unsupported and untested scenario, because OWB 10g did not introduce any new objects, you can try editing the MDL as below. I don't see any risk in trying. Find the MDLRELEASE and RELEASE statements at the top (not the comments with #, they don't matter and change values back to 9.2, as in:
MDLRELEASE=9.2
RELEASE=9.2.0.2.0
And becuase OWB 9.2 does not know what Database 10g is, if you have any Database locations in your MDL that are set to 10g, change them to 9.2 as in:
[...]Oracle Database|9.2|[...]

Can not import movies from a file folder into iPhoto 11 on my iMac

I have movies in Iphoto on Macbook but when i try to import the movies into Iphoto 11 on my IMAC i get a message that says format unrecognized.

Download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later on your iMac and see if they will play with that.
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Trfy to Import the folder of videos into that library. Can you?

Problems importing Sony Handycam mpg files into Premier Pro CS4

I'm investigating Premier Pro CS4 for video editing and if I can make it work okay then I will purchase the Master Collection. Otherwise I may go to the MAC and use Final Cut. I need immediately to edit files downloaded from a Sony HandyCam that come off in an mpg format I believe it is (MPEG-2). My understanding is that the Premier Pro supports the importing of mpg files.
When I attempt to import one of theses mpg files I get the error, "Unsupported file format or damaged file." I know the files are okay because I can play them with Windows Media Player and have been able to edit them with Window Movie Maker. Now I need a more robust editing environment and am looking at Premier Pro to be the solutions.
Has anyone had experience with importing mpg files? Is there a Codec needed? If so where can I get it and how do I install it?

Adobe wouldn't help me on the phone, as I haven't got a support contract. Perfectly rational by them, just stupid.
I've asked my software supplier to forward on some questions and a link to this thread to Adobe support and they should be looking at it soon.
Also, there is another possible solution that might help those of you with full versions.
There is some advice here on one way to give Premiere Pro the ability to import MPEGs.
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html
This is very attractive to me - as I know the AC3 audio codec is used by my MPEG files and it sounds like it could be a solution. Of course, I've tried it, and I still get the same error.
I ran the files through TSRemux and got the same 'file format not supported' error message.
I've also been trying to import a .mov file into the trial version and I get the same error. Jim, would you be able to help me by saying in which other ways the trial version is limited?

Can't import or play .mpg files in iMovie or Quicktime

I have video files that play on a PC using WinDVD and have a .mpg file extension. I'm assuming its MPEG-2 based on the quality. They were taken by a Canon video camera and I have them on a USB drive. Trying to import them in iMovie it just puts up a window saying "optimizing movies" but gives no time or anything else. I left it for a couple hours and it did nothing. I tried to play them in Quicktime but it wouldn't either or in the DVD player app.
Supposedly Lion has a native MPEG-2 codec but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas on what to do?

Hi All,
i have checked the Tools > Options > Applications, but i didn't see "Reset Download Actions". I solved this problem by installing Flash Player. Now i can play swf in firefox.

Convert .mov and other files into imovie

Does anyone know of converter that I can use to import a .mov file into imovie? Called Apple today and apparently even though it is a .mov file there may be something in it that is not supported by Apple. They were not able to help me (advise me on specific converter programs) and I am not sure which one I need or will work. I hate to download things that I wouldn't use. Any suggestions? Also does quicktime Pro 7 convert files? My computer kept asking me to buy it when I was saving the files anyways, maybe there is something to that.

I am having the same problem with iMovie 08. I am trying to import a .mov file that imported just fine into iPhoto '08.
If you are trying to say that files that imported to iMovie '06 won't import to iMovie '08, then this is normal. iMovie '08 has a lower requirement for importation. Files must only be QT "conversion" compatible to be imported. I.e., iMovie '06 automatically converts incompatible files during import if it can. (Some files, like MPEG-1, will import the video but lose audio.) On the other hand, iMovie '08 does not convert files imported at the Finder level since it edits files in their "native" compression format. If the format you try to import is not "edit" compatible, then the file will be ignored.
Any file conversion application that will handle the format you are trying to convert can be used. For instance, I would use an MPEG-based, thrid-party program like iSquint (free) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert "muxed" (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, Flash, etc.) formats. QT "conversion" compatible can be converted by any application having access to the QT structure and for which you may have the proper components installed. This includes QT Pro, iTunes, GarageBand, previous versions of iMovie, or third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc.
All I really want to do is shrink the file down so I can email it without causing problems.
Since you did not specify requirements for your E-mail content... If you have QT Pro, you might try the "Share > EMail" option. If not, You can always open your file in garageBand and use the "Share > Export to Disk > EMail" option. This would still probably limit you to 6-7 minute clips for 10 MB ISPs. If you want to send long files or large formats, then it might be better to send reference or QTL files linked to files stored on a server, post them to a web site, or send them peer-to-peer via iChat.

Importing MPEG and MPG files

I am trying to import MPG and MPGE files to iMovie but I can't. Any idea?

I am a new apple user. I downloaded streamclip but dont know how to use the software. I dragged the mpg clip but dont know how to convert the file so that it is compatible with iMovie

Importing avi and mp4 files into iPhoto

I just finished importing my PC photo library into iPhoto and I ran into a snag.
iPhoto does not import video files in *.avi or *mp4 format.
On my old PC photo library, I have video clips taken into mostly avi format with older digital cameras, and which are stored in the same photo directories by date. When I realized that I could not sync avi files to my iOS devices, I used a conversion program to convert the the avi files to mp4 format, and was able to sync these to my iOS devices.
Now apparently iPhoto does not recognize these mp4 files. I would like to have my video clips in iPhoto so that I can sync them as needed to my iOS devices through iTunes and also sometimes use them for video editing in iMovie. Within iMovie, I see where there is a link to the iPhoto video library... so somehow I have to get these into a format recognized by iPhoto.
Can anyone recommend a method that will accomplish this? I assume I will have to convert the avi/mp4 files to some other format. Is there a utility that will extract out the video files from my hundreds of photo directories and let me convert them to the accepted format by iPhoto, preferably keeping the time/date stamp intact?

Check over on MacUpdate for file converters.

Can't import Final Cut XML file into Premiere Pro CS4 MAC

Hello, I'm traying to import FCP Studio 2 XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4for the purpose of then color correcting the project in Adobe After Effects.
I followed all the rules of exporting XML files from my Final Cut Studio 2 timeline, then closed FCP, opened Adobe Premiere CS4 and when I go to Import option XML file is greyed out. I can't select the XML file...
Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you so much

I'll just say that the high end AE users list I frequent suggests that the more common workflow is to bring AE to FCP for color correction. Isn't that one of FCP's strengths?
Also, to the extent that you want to process an FCP project in AE, look for the best way to bring it directly, not through Premiere. Ask in the AE forum what opinions people have. Mac and PC types use AE, but my impression is that only a small proportion of those users use Premiere.

Importing .cpi and .mts files into iMovie

A friend provided me hundreds of .cpi and .mts files of footage he shot on a Canon Vixia camcorder. The files are on a DVD disc. How do I import them into iMovie 09?

You may have already resolved this issue, but I found out some great information today from Sony directly. I was having the same problem, and I was convinced iMovie (i'm using iMovie 09) couldn't import MTS files. I was wrong iMovie does it very easily. The problem iMovie has is when you connect your camera, most people click the "video camera" icon so they can see the videos on their camera they wish to import. What I found is that if you haven't cleared off your video camera in some time, and have over 10 gigs of video on the camera, iMovie has a real hard time, because it has to search the camera and bring up the clips in that lower window pane and often times it will basically time-out, and if you click that camera again the iSight camera launches.
What I did was go thru the clips on my video camera that I could delete (actually watched them on the camera itself), this can be time consuming. But, once I cleared down the content on my camera under 10 gigs, iMovie saw the information quickly. Here's another thing I did, that also may help...instead of clicking on that little camcorder icon, use FILE, Import from Camera at the top menu bar instead. When I did this, it started looking for my attached video camera. From now on I will clear off my video camera more frequently so that iMovie doesn't bog down looking for possible imporatable videos on the camera. Recommendation from Sony was keep it under 10 gigs.
Hope this helps.
Tim
P.S. There is no truth to the idea that iMovie does not import MTS files. My Sony HD Handycam takes all MTS files and iMovie has no problem with them at all.

How can I import an existing csv. file into Outlook on a Mac with OS10.7

Tried to import a csv. file on my Mac (OS 10.7.2) into Microsoft Outlook 2011 (for Mac) on the same computer, ended up with a useless Excel page - it opened the csv file in Excel with only a few contacts and uselessly formatted, at that!. Also, tried to save the csv file as a text file, then importing it into Word 2011 and Excel, with the same results. Anyone able to help? Would like to have the contained address/contact info look concise and neat, without duplicates or garbled/missing information.

Can't import RAW and psd file with same name different extension

Trying to import a folder of images from desktop that I have been working with in Bridge CS3.
LR won't import a RAW file that has a PSD file by the same name. Tried renaming the PSD and deleting the one with the same name, but says it is still there and won't import the RAW file - What is the correct workaround on this? Why can't it import same name files with different extensions?

A forum search for 'RAW + JPEG' will give you more posts on this than you care to read. This will change. For now, import the RAW and PSD's from separate folders and then move them together for within LR.
LR is seeing the RAW as a sidecar to the PSD. It is an unforseen effect of the RAW + JPEG thing where they decided to not import the JPEG, seeing it as basically a preview image for the RAW.
