Cannot edit MPEG-2 in Windows Photoshop CS6

Just upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and am attempting (unsuccessfully) to edit some MGEG2 content. The video content has been extracted from Windows DVRMS files using DVRMStoMPEGGUI. I can work with H264 content in Photoshop without a problem.
All MGEP2 videos play fine with both Quicktime and Windows Media Player.
Here  is what happens when I try to edit the file in Photoshop
File is read by photoshop and all looks fine. First frame is shown as expected.  (see screenshot below)
If I try to play the video in photoshop, the elapsed time counters at the bottom give the impression that all is well, but the video does not play.
Attempting to trim the video does update the overall timings of the video, but the first frame is still displayed.
Rendering the video as H264 appears to work - the export dialog appears and a file does get created. THe H264 file export is playable, but consists of the first frame  displayed continually for the duration of the video..
I've checked through other discussions regarding editing MPEG-2 video content in Photoshop and another thread suggested checking that the video content is playable via Bridge. Like with Photoshop, Bridge displays the first frame of the MPEG2 in the thumbnail, but attempting to play it locks up Bridge completely.  Doing a "Reset Settings" with Bridge made no difference.
Any suggestions about how to troubleshoot this further?
Here is my setup
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:4 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, HyperThreading
Physical processor count: 4
Logical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 2660 MHz
Built-in memory: 24567 MB
Quicktime 7.72.80.56 + Quicktime MPEG2 7.60.92.0
Bridge 5.0.1.21 (x32)

Thanks for the quick response guys - I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Whilst I understand that there are complexities in dealing with MPEG2 content, and using another media format is certainly an option to work around my issue, MPEG2 is listed as a supported file format.
To dig deeper intop the issue, I thought I'd see if I could read any MPEG2 content at all. I've tried downloading a random sample of MPEG2 content from the net - those that Photoshop read exhibited the same issue. That means that I'm either very unlucky with the MPEG2 samples I've picked, or there is a problem with my setup. 
Do you happen to know of some MPEG2 content on the net that will work with Photoshop CS6? If I try that and it doesn't work for me, it means there is an issue with my setup. If it does work, the problem lies with the files I'm trying to edit.

  • Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

    That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
    Peace,
    Charles Fennen

    Hi ssprengel,
    to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
    I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
    The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
    Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
    Thank you.

  • Cannot find "Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac.

    I cannot find ”Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac. Path suppose to be Macintosh HD > Applications 
> Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Plug-Ins but that folder is missing. Any suggestion on how to find it?

    Thank you Hans,
    If I understand it correctly, way to install extensions/plugins on Mac is
    following
    "Quit Photoshop, then copy the desired plug-ins (or extensions) to the
    following locations:
    Mac OS:
       - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins folder
       - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder"
    In my case it would be the last path, as I have CS6.
    However, my problem is that Plug-ins folder is missing

  • Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

    Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
    I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
    I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
    also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

    Welcome to the forum.
    I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
    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

  • I am able to click on a picture in iPhoto to edit it opens automatically in photoshop cs6.  However when i am done editing I can not save that image back into iPhoto.  Can anyone help with a setting I am missing maybe?

    I am able to click on a pic in iphoto to edit it and opens automatically in photoshop CS6. However when I am done editing and save I can not save back into Iphoto.  Can any one help wiht this?

    Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
    "Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
    That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
    After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
    Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

  • Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

    Hi
    We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

    I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.

  • Cannot edit Aperture 3 photo in Photoshop elements 10

    When I want to edit a photo in Aperture 3 through Photoshop Elements 10, nothing happens.  The photo does not show up.  It used to work before.

    That it never worked right is important to know  .
    Reset the external editor selection in Aperture following the instructions at the link I posted above.
    You should be able to right-click an Image, select "Edit with NamedEditor", edit the copy of your Image that Aperture creates and sends to the external editor, close your file in the editor (do not "Save As"), and end up back in Aperture with your original Image next to your selected duplicated-and-edited Image.
    Do you?

  • How can users remedy install failure for Windows Photoshop CS6 v13.0.2?

    Error code U44M1P7 is obviously a catchall for any of several possibilities. The suggestion to manually download the update is useless. It isn't available. (A bad link leads to Mac version.) As for the other possibility, many other users and I have deleted the unneeded language files either by use of a cleanup utility or manually, on purpose. Any installer that has unspecific error codes, while not allowing for a sensible change that  economizes space needs to be rewritten. An awful lot is riding on the integrity of the Adobe Download Manager, and its occasional failures are maddening. I run CC and CS6 Creative Suites, and I need to  keep them both because CC has 'broken' so many plugins.
    It would be very helpful to know where ADM puts downloaded files and have an option to save them before installing. It took me two runthroughs to get CC installed and I've tried for the CS6 update four times so far with no copy of the installer to reuse. At its best, ADM is lethargic to respond, and there remains the statistical near-certainty that the site will be down when someone needs to use it. Personally, I think the 'Cloud' is a lousy paradigm. I know I'm not the only one who looks back fondly on the days of physical media, or at very least downloads that could be burned to physical media. The whole cloud thing is still in its infancy, and a lot of user time iwasted while Adobe learns (and invents) the ropes. Maybe one day, when there is a 100% installed base of high speed fiber optic connections, the cloud will make our lives easier. It certainly hasn't done so yet.

    No worries Kloaster – you should just be able to use the direct links instead to get whichever Adobe applications you want and copy/save the offline installers for backup or burn to DVD for later reuse whenever or wherever you want:
    All Adobe CS6 Direct Links, without the Download Manager or Assistant
    and/or
    All Adobe CC Direct Links, without the Application Manager or Desktop App

  • Can I use my Windows Photoshop CS6 serial on a Mac?

    I recently purchased CS6 for my pc.  Now, I have a Mac and am wondering if I can use the second download on my Mac.  Will Adobe issue me a Mac version?

    when you give up your license, what does that mean exactly?
    Nothing. You are just exchanging your PC version for a Mac version. Just like exchanging a pair of shoes that are the wrong size. You trade your PC version for the Mac. But, since software is software, not shoes, you have to commit or somehow authenticate you are not still using the PC version as well.
    But, in referance to iCloud, I'm not convinced about the safety issues plus the ability to retrieve files as of yet.
    Adobe Cloud is different from Apple iCloud. From what I understand... Adobe Cloud is really just a membership service. You keep the actual app and its products on your machine. Its activation is controlled via an internet connection. At least, that is my understanding.

  • Edits, Actions and Plugins in Photoshop CS6 not showing

    I bought a new computer and Adobe was nice enough to transfer all of my products to the new laptop without charging me.  Things seemed to be great for 3 weeks and now when I create a layer mask, run an Action, or run Portraiture, etc it doesn't show up on my image.  Anyone else have this problem and get a solution?  

    Nobody can know. "This doesn't work" posts are never a good way of asking for help. You have not provided any details about your system or your documents nor how the files were transferred. Chances are you missed or broke something or the plug-ins are not properly licensed and necessitate a reinstall.
