Cannot import entire dvd into premier elements 10

I am having problems importing and entire dvd that was recorded on a mini-dvd camcorder into premier elements 10. My OS is windows 7 64 bit. I have read thru these forums for hours and have not come across anything that will resolve the problem. Yes, the files on the dvd are a combination of vob, ifo and bup files. When I try to import media from the finalized disc or from the camcorder itself, I get the same results. It will import maybe 9 minutes of a 30 minute dvd. I did read on one of these threads to try and combine the files using command prompt. There is a total of 4 vob files, and when I combine them using the command prompt, the first two files copy and then I get an error message saying "cyclic redundancy check" and the whole process stops. I can play the the entire dvd on windows media player with no problems. I have also contacted tech support and the person I spoke with could not help me at all. I gave her access to my computer and she said everything looked good to run Premier Elements 10, she was not sure why I was having problems.
All I am trying to do is pull a couple of single clips from the mini-dvd and burn them to a dvd. I don't even need the sound, just the clips. I can also tell you that the mini-dvd I am trying to import has 66 individual clips on it. I just need 2 or 3 of them. It seems like this should not be such a complicated process....
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks so much for the quick response.
When I start my project I do have the Hard Disk Camcorder setting selected. I did clean the C drive and defragment as well. I put the finalized disc into my computer's disc drive and used the Media Downloader in Premiere Elements; selecting the Get Media from DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive. I get the same results. Only a small part of the dvd is being imported.   I am not copying to any other drive. The camcorder the discs are coming from is a Panosonic VDR-D220. I have also tried to plug the camcorder into the computer via USB and import the media with all the same steps mentioned above with the same result.
When I look at the info. on the disc, it shows 15 files. The files are a combination of vob, ifo and bup.
They are listed like this:
video_ts    bup file    18kb
video_ts.ifo   ifo file   18kb
video_ts      vob file   166kb
vts_01_0    bup file    14kb
vts_01_0.ifo ifo file    14kb
vts_01_0      vob file   51,538kb
vts_02-0    bup file    16kb
vts_02_0.ifo   ifo file 16kb
vts_02_0    vob file    275,850kb
vts_03_0   bup file    32kb
vts_03_0.ifo   ifo file 32kb
vts_03_0    vob file    1,025,046kb
vts_04_0 bup file     14kb
vts_04_0.ifo ifo file   14kb
vts_04_0   vob file     16,278kb
I am not sure if all that info helps or not. If there is something else I can tell you, please let me know.
Thanks for your help.

Importing MOV clips into Premier Elements 10

I'm trying to import Qucktime MOV clips into Adobe Premier Elements 10 but they install as audio files only. How can I get them to load as video clips so I can construct a movie from them?

Hi
I'm using a Mobius 1080p HD camera shooting in HD producing MOV files.
I've inspected one of the files using Quicktime/Windows and the information is
Format - H.264. 1920 x 1080. Millions 16 bit Integer (Little Endian). Mono. 32.000 Htz
Movie FPS = 30.00
Playing FPS = 30.00
Data Size 401.47 MB
Data Rate 18.19 mbits/sec
Duration 00.03.05.00
Normal Size 1920 x 1080 pixels
Current Size 1920 x 1080 pixels
The clips play in excellent quality HD and without a problem in Windows Media Player
I have reformated some in MP4 format and they will play back in Premier Elements after a fashion.. but very slow and jerky making editing just about impossible. I have reloaded Adobe Premier Elements on another computer but get the same results.
It appears Adobe Premier Elements is not up to dealing with these files.

Cannot import mpg files into Premier Pro CS3

I've read the wiki and looked through the FAQs and did not find this issue, so here goes.
The file began life as an mp4 from a GoPro HD camera. It plays correctly in Apple's software, but will not import into Premier. Found the KB on
Error message "Unsupported format or damaged file" when you import MP4 clips into Premiere Pro CS3 and changed the extension to MPG. This got me audio, but no video. The MPG plays correctly (audio and video) in Windows Media Player as well as in Bridge CS4.
Windows Vista 64-bit, 8 Gig RAM, Intel Q9300 Quad Core Processor, GeForce 9600 GT video card w/1Gig DDR3 RAM.
Any ideas?

PrPro is pretty well centered on pro formats. Many find that other NLE's, designed for consumer cameras and formats, work better and some natively. It's a tough call. I love the interface and workflow of PrPro, and use it 99% of the time. However, with heavily-compressed, delivery-only formats/CODEC's, some other NLE's work better - to start. I use those as converters, or do batch conversions with DigitalMedia converter, but it's shareware, and not freeware.
Some users want PrPro to embrace every possible CODEC and variation on each, with hourly updates, as mfgrs make changes, and others want it to only perform 100% with pro-formats and leave the consumer stuff totally alone - there is PrElements for that. Me? I just roll with the punches, and convert from X to Y, and edit in my chosen NLE. Kinda' the "Jimmy Buffett" of video editing.
Good luck,

I am having a problem importing MP4 video into Premier Elements 11.

When I try to edit a video the highlights are turning black/grey and other colours are turning white or grey making the video look like a negative . . . sometimes the colour goes completely but not always. Also, when this happens the whole thing freezes. I tried running the videos on QuickTime and they run okay which makes me think it's not the graphics card but Adobe Elements that's the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Importing MPEG2 files into Premier Elements 8

I just purchased a Sony DCR -SX44 camcorder which records in SD format MPEG2. It appears Elements 9 supports this format but it is unclear if Elements 8 (which I have) supports MPEG2. To avoid a re-stock fee I have not used the camcorder yet. Does Elements 8 support the SD MPEG2 format?

Recorded TV in 16:9. VOB file imported into Premier Elements as 4:3

I have imported a VOB file into Premier Elements. It has been recorded in 16:9 format. Unfortunately, when imported it converts to a 4:3. Can some please explain why?
Tony

In the Project Panel, you can Rt-click on the Clip and choose Interpret footage. There, you can change things like Frame Rate, PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), and can also change how an Alpha Channel is used, should your footage have an Alpha Channel.
It can be useful, especially with regards to the PAR. Since Frame Size is the same for NTSC 4: 3 & 16:9, except for the PAR to display "regular," or WideScreen.
Good luck, and do check out how well your machine handles the Menuing functions. That is where many DVR's and VHS to DVD, plus much software deviates from the DVD-specs. Because the first .VOB contains Menus, as well as the first part of the MPEG-2 stream, it is usually where problems will arise. This is covered in that article. With programs, such as Adobe Encore, the DVD's first .VOB WILL be 100% DVD-compliant.

Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
Photoshop CS2 and saved each
psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
png
Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
and the "black background" became a "solid color".
Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

How to import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

how do i import a jpeg image into premier elements 12?

chuckx
Just for background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
The generalized answer is Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photo to the Expert view Timeline.
But all that can generate a mountain of questions about the photo and the project into which it will be going
a. what are the pixel dimensions of the photo - will or will I not have to resize or crop/resize the photo for the project
b. is the photo going into a project that will consist of photos and videos
c. if video inclusion, that leads to questions about the properties of the video so that you can set the project preset to match those
d. that leads to questions on the best size to have your photo before you import them into this project.
So, one simple question generates a lot of side questions.
Please let us know how we might help to sort out the details for your Premiere Elements workflow and its source media.
Thank you.

PSD files into Premier Elements?

I have used Photohop Elements for years. I am familiar with it, do I need to resize a PSD file before taking it into Premier Elements to add to a video project?

Lavona
What is the size of your scrapbook page in Photoshop Elements 12 - 12 inches by 12 inches document. If so, we need to know the pixel dimensions for the scrapbook page (width and height in pixels). Inches have no meaning in video. Does your plan include any possibilities for a 4:3 or 16:9 scrapbook page?
What is your intended export for your Timeline content - burn to disc (DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc OR file saved to the computer hard drive in a video format?
Video is typically 4:3 or 16:9 in constrast to what you may have, that is, 12 inches x 12 inches at 300 pixels/inch which would be 3600 x 3600 pixels. And, one usually sets the project preset to match the properties of the source media. There is no project preset to match those dimensions.
Is your project going to consist of only these scrapbook pages? If so, the following should be noted.
All Premiere Elements projects have to have a project preset. The default for Premiere Elements 12 is NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 (1920 x 1080 pixels) or its PAL counterpart. If there is no project preset to match the properties of your source, then you could end up with your image with black borders. (The black borders could be filled in by placing a background on Video 1 and your scrapbook page of Video 2 directly above that background on Video 1. In that way, the background would show through the black (transparency) areas in the scrapbook).
However...
There is a preference which lets you direct the program to import the source (your scrapbook page) and automatically scale it to the frame size of the project preset. This is the case that I described above. But the preferences can also be set to disable this option called "Default Scale to Frame Size". In your case, what you will see with this option disabled, is your image zoomed in the Edit area monitor. Then you can scale it down to fit the space provided for it in the Edit area monitor. This would cut off some of your page. You could decide what you wanted shown. And, if you scale to fit it all into the frame, black borders.
Now if the situation were that you had video sources and wanted to include your scrapbook pages in the presentation, then I would set the project preset to match the video properties and then fit the scrapbook pages to that project preset. Filling in some more details would allow me to fine tune.
But, back to your original question of sizing of those .psd scrapbook pages....which are probably 3600 x 3600. I suspect that the practical answer is going to be import them as is and let the program resize, allowing for black borders to be filled in my a background of some sorts. But, how many of those 3600 x 3600 pixels you can import without stressing out the project will depend on your computer resources and just how many of these scrapbook pages are to be used.
The above is my take on the details that you have described thus far.
Please review and consider and then let me know if you have questions or need clarification.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On....For now, please ignore the mention of 1000 x 750 pixels 4:3 until we define your project to a great extent.

Here is a screen shot with sequence setting dialogue box open as well as a DVD player shot showing the full version of the video screen. (Unfortunately, the pic of the video would not translate).

Import Billingual DVD to Premiere Element 10

i tried to import a billingual (Cantonese/Mandarin) DVD into Premiere Element 10. However, it only shows with Mandarin channel instead of Cantonese. How could I import it with Cantonese?

Welcome to the forum.
To extract the supplemental Audio Stream (Cantonese, in your case), you will likely need to completely rip the VOB's, outside of PrE.
Not sure which current ripping software is good for this, but this old Encore FAQ lists some that were pretty good, in their day: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423743?tstart=0
Others will likely have some favorites, and might know which ones do the best with supplemental Audio Streams, but I do not. I see recs. for VideoRedo, ReJig, and others, but have zero experience with them, and do not know their capabilities.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing protected DVD into iTunes

Hello All
At the very outset - let me admit I love Shaun T's workouts and I always will legitimately pay for those than have them downloaded via other "unfit" means :-)
So the issue am seeking help on is this - I have bought the DVDs for couple of BeachBody Shaun T workouts (Insanity & Focus T 25). Now I use a MacBook pro which does not have an optical drive and every time I want to do the workout means I have to chug along the super drive, and it feels very primitive in today's time and age. Now these DVDs are protected and there is no way I can import them into iTunes and then get them onto my iDevices, so I can break a sweat even if I am in a tiny hotel room on my tiny iPhone 6 Plus screen (Yes - it is tiny when you are trying to follow those moves on a screen that size while half dead in motion!)
Is there anyway to do this i.e. import those DVDs into iTunes and then consume them like you would with any other iTunes media?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions
P.S: Cannot fathom why Beach Body doesn't sell their workouts on iTunes!

Depending on where you are it may be legal for you to backup your purchases. Check your local laws.
http://thelittleappfactory.com/ripit/
http://Handbrake.fr may help if you need different sizes etc.
Just make sure you keep the original discs otherwise it becomes piracy.
