Can't import MPEG a/v asset

Hi.
When importing a DVD compliant MPEG file, I get the follwoing error:
"Sorry, an abnormal condition has been detected ..."
The asset contains MPEG-2 video (<= 15 frames per GOP, bitrate <= 9.8 Mbps, ...) and MP2 192 Kbps and AC3 2.0 256 Kbps audio. The a/v was muxed using ImagoMPEG-Muxer. The file is fine, since every other software (DVDlab, VirtualDub, ...) plays the file w/o any problem.
Now ... (1.) if I demux the file manually using Project.X, DVD Encore is able to read it properly. Also ... (2.) if the file doesn't contain AC3, the import also works fine.
Questions ... (1.) is this a know problem and (2.) what can I do about it?
This all happened during my first Encore tests, and I have to say that I'm not very impressed after this error hit me after the first 5 minutes already :( !
Thanks.

@Neil
No, it's not a VOB. It's an .mpg conatining DVD compliant video and audio files. The proof is that (1.) that the demuxed data is accepted, and that (2.) the same .mpg, but without AC3, works fine.
@Ruud
I mux because I'd like to keep a/v files together (easier to handle). Yes, I know that 9.8 is video + every audio stream. I'd well (!) below that limit.
This issue here seems to be that Encore doesn't like (for some reason) AC3 in a muxed .mpg file. There's no reason for that!
Can someone confirm this?
Thanks.

Can't import MPEG-2 files in FCE HD

I can't import MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Express HD. Before I bought the software, I took an MPEG-2 file to the Apple store and they imported it just fine. This is why I decided to buy the software. I know it can work, I just don't know why it won't work on my Mac. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I figured if I talked to myself long enough, I might figure it out. I did. I had to buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback component in order to import these files into Final Cut Express HD. I have the video in FCE HD rendering. If there was another way, I'm waiting to hear.

Where are your MPEG stored?
I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

Can FCPX imports MPEG-2 4:2:2 50Mbps Codec ?

Hi there,
Just wondering, according to the link below, the Canon XF100 & XF105 records in Mpeg-2 4:4:2 50Mbps Codec.
http://media.canon-asia.com/shared/live/products/EN/XA10_XF100-105-050412.pdf
So, can FCPX import this format directly?
Thanks

Thanks Tom for the replies. Really appreciate them as it makes me understand things better.
I also read the link you gave me on (1) regarding the MXF wrapper but I must admit I don't have a clue about what's been written there as it is beyond me. Hahaha ... oh well ...
I have another unrelated question on Mpeg-2 4:2:2 codec so I will start a new thread on this.
Cheers & once again thanks for your answer

2. Connect the camera with the card in it to the computer.
3. You use the File>Import>Files function, not the camera import function. The camera shoots XDCAM, which FCP edits natively.
4. You select the video files on the card and import them, making sure you have the copy to event option checked on.
5. ClipWrap has nothing to do with this.

I can't import mpeg files into final cut pro10

Hi, I have been given a whole load of old home video footage that I want to import into final cut pro to put into a music video. The files play on quicktime but when I go to import it it won't import.
I've already had this problem with MXF files but these are quicktime so how can I import it. Final Cut Pro 10 seems to not want to import anything that I actually want to use.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks
Tom

What version of FCP X are you using?
Also: open one of these files in Quicktime Player, press Cmd-I to open the Movie Inspector, and post a screenshot of that.
When you say "it won't import", what exactly does happen? Do these files appear dimmed in the Import Window? Or something else happens?

Premeire Elements 13 - can't import files into Project Assets, Expert Mode. Win8.1

Hello there - I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Can't seem to figure this out. In other computers, I have imported files into the Project Assets area to "pre-edit" before adding to timeline. I can add media directly to timeline in Quick Mode, but it's too cumbersome. Really need ability to select segments of media in the Project Assets list.
Any help greatly appreciated as I spent a ton of $$ on a new computer and program!!
Thanks folks!

What is the typical outcome...
a. Expert workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders/and no import into Expert workspace Project Assets, but you do find the import switching to Quick workspace Filmstrip?
b. Quick workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders and media goes directly to Filmstrip. And, if you switch to Expert workspace, you find copy of import in Project Assets?

Can't Import MPEG-2

DVDSP doesn't offer an MPEG-2 option in Using QuickTime Conversion. I tried to use Compressor to obtain a 2-pass MPEG-2 encode for a 40 minute show. DVDSP crashes upon every attempt to import. Can anyone help me?

Hi
I tried to use Compressor to obtain a 2-pass MPEG-2 encode for a 40 minute show.
What format and lenght in minutes is your program?
What preset did you use when tried Compressor?
By the way, the QT MPEG2 export is no longer available from . . . I don't remember from what version! Sorry. Read this link:

Can't Import PSD as an Asset

No matter how I try to work around it, any introduction of a psd file into assets crashes DVD SP3.
Photoshop CS
DVD Studio Pro 3
OS X 4.8
G4 Dual 450 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

4 steps to follow before using PSDs with DVDSP:
1. save as a copy, because you are about to remove some of the editable attributes of your file.
2. flatten, merge, or rasterize any layers that have layer effects applied.
3. flatten, merge, or rasterize any editable type layers.
4. select all and crop the image to remove any pixels outside the canvas
Every now and then, I get a photoshop file that simply refuses to import. In this case, I usually bring all the layers into a new file. If you create a layer set, you can drag the layers to the new image all at once.
Hope this helps -

Can't import mpeg video - not supported

Production Premium user.
The whole purpose of multitracking against video is useless as I've just found out Audition does not support MPEG MPEG-2.
I went to the Apple site where I was led to believe that buying the
QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Windows
would give me a fix to the QuickTime component - nope - just wasted £15 on an add-on that doesn't work. The player opens and plays as if it were reading the file but no video (black) - and no audio. Apple, please can I have my £15 back?
Anyone else really hacked off with this, especially having sat watching a "Senior Evangelist" gush about how great Audition is for Multitacking against video.

Hey Steve, thanks for your reply, but not to leave you out...
Your comment "...because I don't do video..."
Now here's me thinking that Production Premium with Prem Pro and AE etc was geared toward video editors and video producers like me... So the inclusion of an application like Audition is aimed at a wider market. Hey Ho... Rather like Canon finding that their DSLRs could do HDV video (but not very well) but had other USPs.
Report Back:
<File> <Sequence... Right Click Edit Adobe Audition...Sequence> <Export without or with Preview Video>
Defaults to AVI... AVI if left up to its own render is rubbish - pixilated and low def - especially when you're used to working in HDV. And just try undocking the video panel to a 32-inch plasma - oh no...
Reformatting to H.264 and importing H.264 it just can't handle cross application satisfactorily. Stutter playback - in Audition - and outside using an undocked panel.
I operate i7 hex intel 970 24GB tri channel RAM and 5 drive HDD with SSD OS on Windows 7.
This is just not an application which can claim Multitrack mixing to video sync - okay perhaps in the DV and those early days but not now. Rather reminds me of old high-end audio console digital software - always maintained its not the the software but the user. It rather looks like you development guys just didn't think this was important - well not in the short-term.
Not good enough for my needs. Steve - I don't know what you use Audition for but it's not professsional video applications - as you state. But thank you for replying.
6/10, and only for the fact it tried but fell over.
Edit: Forgot to add I'm also running Nvidia GTX580 1.5GB Video Card.

Yes.

Can't import MPEG files

I used to capture video with a camera in .MPG and work it in Premiere Pro, but the computer I was using failed. I just installed Premiere Pro in this new one, but it won't open them, saying that the files are either corrupted or unsupported. I tried them in other softwares with no problem, so it only remains to think that the program doesn't suppoert them anymore, I guess.
What should I do? Do I need to install a codec?

Do you have the full-paid version of PrPro, or the trial?
If you have the full-paid version, have you updated to CS4.2?
If you have the full-paid version, and have upgraded, it is possible that your installation has reverted to the "trial." This has happened to several recently.
You will want to Deactivate your copy of PrPro, if that option is available (not grayed out), then uninstall CS4. Run Adobe Clean Script CS4 several times, rebooting between each run. Then, install CS4, and do all of the updates, before you use the program.
That should get your MPEG back.
Good luck,
Hunt

Encore 1.5 can't import assets

Hi, I have been an Encore 1.51 user for years with no problems. Now suddenly, half of my projects won't open at all, and I can't import any assets. I use Premiere Pro 1.5 to edit video and have tried to export different types. I get a message that says "could not import file. The file may be corrupt or type may not be supported" Does anyone have any ideas to solve this problem?

Have you tried creating a New Project, and then attempting to Import any of the suspect files. If you have, with yet another New Project, can you Import any "known good" Assets?
I'm with Jbowden. When something works one day, but the next, then something has changed. You've ruled out CODEC's and CODEC "packs" - would be my first guess too.
How about any MS updates to your OS, or segments of it? By default, these updates are set to automatic, and take place behind the scenes, so the user might not even be aware of them. They have a tendency to render obsolete many audio and video drivers, though that does not seem to be an issue here. Still, OS updates can cause other problems. QuickTime Player is also vulnerable to these, and there is the smallest of chances that it could have some play here.
Any hardware, like a Matrox card, that was either installed, or uninstalled?
If no to all of these, then the uninstall and reinstall of Encore 1.5 would be my suggestion too. Let's hope that this fixes the problem.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] any Adobe trial software installed, or uninstalled, like CS4?

How can I get MPEG-2 video into Final Cut Pro X?

Hello! I have several MPEG-2 video files on which I need to perform some edits. When I tried to import them into Final Cut Pro, I learned that Final Cut Pro can't import MPEG files. Okay, so I went into QuickTime and exported one as 720p. 20 minutes later, I had a video that I could load in FCP. Awesome. Except that when I watched the video, the audio was waaaaaaaay out of sync. So, is there a different way I could get this MPEG-2 video into a format that FCP will like while keeping video and audio together?
I would keep trying a few different things without direction, but these videos are like 90 minutes long and the conversion process is lengthy.
Thanks!

Although I looked up the equipment, I couldn't find what kind of MPEG2. I'm assuming program stream.
I don't know why you had the sync problem with QT. You could bring it into FCP and detach the audio and manually line it up it's off by a constant amount.
Or you can use MEG Streamclip. You will also need the playback component, which is $20. Follow the instructions on the Squared 5 site to install it. Streamclip is worth having even if you don't use it this time around.
Good luck.

Import MPEG-2 video into PhotoShop CS6

Does anyone know why I can not import MPEG-2 video file into PH CS 6?

Hi there -
Do you have any other Adobe programs installed? Photoshop CS6 can only open MPEG-2 video files if a decoder is installed, such as Premiere Pro or After Effects.
See this Adobe Help article for more information about supported files types in Photoshop CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/supported-file-formats-photoshop-cs6.html
EDIT: Here is an extremeley technical post about this issue - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4700873
