Codec not supported photoshop

I'm getting a message saying I can't import an RGB, 8-bit, 72 dpi Photoshop file that has an alpha channel because "The following files could not be imported because the codec is not supported." What the heck does that mean, and what have I done wrong?

The file name is scan0001.jpg
I mistakenly said this was Photoshop when I meant Premiere Elements 7.

N900 Cannot play media - Audio Codec not supported

I'm trying to play a radio station on the N900 internet radio but I get the message that the media cannot be played, audio codec not supported. I was able to play the same station on my old N96 and other stations work on the N900.
Is there something I need to download to sort this out?

I messed up: codec not supported

I am studying Itallan. I found my way to Italian TV and radio stations on the web and had them playing just fine in Safari. When I clicked on the <Link to Video> on the page in Safari, Windows Media Player launched and I could watch the video and listen to the audio just fine, or in the case of radio programs, just listen to the audio.
Then I did something stupid.
I thought I'd try and download some freeware with which to record these programs and move them to my iPod for use in the car.
I tried a couple of freeware apps, none seemed to work well, so I trashed them.
When I went back to the Italian web page, clinked on <Link to video>, the video launched and there was no audio. Just as the Windows Media Player opened the file, it warned: This file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported.
I then tried to open some humorous .wmv files I had saved months ago to my HD. When I launched them, same thing. Video plays but no audio. I tried some of my saved .mpg files. Same thing. Video's fine; no audio.
When I click on the Italian radio stations in Safari, they stations will not play and the Status Bar notes: One error opening the page: choose Activity from Window menu. Activity noted, inter alia, in red: Plug-in cancelled.
Checked my Audio preferences, all is fine and I have my system beep, tunes play in iTunes, etc.
I backed up before I began playing around so whichever file or plug-in went AWOL, I should be able to get it from my backup.
When I logged out then into a new user account and tried to go to the Italian sites, exact same thing happened. Video, but no audio.
Help...I need to get this working so I can get on with my Italian studies.
Many thanks for saving me from my own stupidity.

I solved my own problem.
I remembered that a few months back I had a similar problem, this time not associated with the installation of any new software. I was directed to an Apple Knowledgebase article on what to do when this happens.
The solution, then and this time around, was to go to Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder and check the Audio Output Source settings.
Both times, mine had been reset from 44100.0Hz to something much higher.
When I reset it to 44100, all was well again.
Thanks for replying, nonetheless...bob

Mts codec not supported

working on doing some Color correction for an indy feature and I got the files today and when I open the project in PP CC2014 I get an error that .mts codec is not supported. Any Ideas what I can do?
Thanks
Darren

The weird thing is The production company that filmed the feature did all their editing on Premier 6. I think they had to upgrade to cc 2014 so they could export the project for me with out crashing. Now I have the drive that they went through project manager to make a copy of and I can't get it to recognize the file codec.
I think it was a sony DSLR not sure which one but I can find out.
Thanks for your quick response!!

Since you have not provided any actual system info not told us what version of Photoshop, we can't really know what is going on.

VC-1 codec not supported? Advice on converting m2ts file to supported format

I think maybe Premiere Pro does not support VC-1 encoding. True? False?
There is a favorite old film of mine I wanted to 'fix' by adding the original soundtrack (the remix is horrible) plus the original ending (removed for all Western versions).
Unfortunately the m2ts file crashes Premiere Pro every time I try to import it.
I've been looking at solutions to convert the video to something useable, but so far no luck. It's a 1080p/24 m2ts and obviously I want to keep the quality as is and not degrade it.
Anyway, I thought someone here might have the answer.
I have Adobe CS5 Production Premium and I am on a PC.
I do have DVDfab on my system, if that can be used to convert/transcode. I've no idea.

If you're creating a DVD, there's really no choice of codecs, since DVD video is a very specific and tightly constrained form of MPEG-2 video. MPEG-2 video is highly compressed and is not a high-definition format, so it is absolutely unavoidable that export to DVD video will cause some quality loss. This is true for even professionally created DVDs. There is an MPEG-2 DVD export preset in After Effects that you can choose from the Format menu in the Output Module Settings dialog box.
If, however, you're handing off your video as input to a larger work, and you need to create an intermediate file that preserves all detail for as long as possible in the post-production pipeline, then you should render and export using lossless encoding. My preference for creating losslessly compressed intermediate files from 8-bit-per-channel sources is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime (MOV) container.
See this FAQ entry (and the pages that it links to) for more information about compression and choosing settings for specific purposes:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/729526
You mentioned "jerky" output. See this FAQ entry for information about losslessly encoded movies and how they are not suited for playback:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684381
Or perhaps the jerkiness is coming from the frame-rate mismatch between your 30fps source and 25fps composition. If so, then frame blending can help.

Animation codec not supported in maverics?

I have several quick time movies that I rendered using the animation codec and never had a problem watching them with the quick time player. The quick time player in mavericks is converting them to Apple pro res before starting playing them. It takes a lot of time and the resolution drops considerably.
Has anyone had the same problem? Is there a way to make the player read the QT animation codec?
Thanks

The QuickTime codecs should be available If QT is loaded on your computer, but they might not have presets. Select Format: QuickTime, and Video Codec: Animation.

Hi, I have just downloaded lion and my Photoshop CS is not supported.....why why why. This update will cost me $500 ! Totally useless update

I have just downloaded LION as an update and it is OK, not great but OK. However I am furious because it does not support Photoshop CS for Mac! Great so this update is now going to cost me 500 dollars for a new Photoshop. Well done Apple why is this not supported and why should I buy more software. THIS IS BAD BAD BAD!. Don't update to Lion until you check your other software will run! Does anyone know how to revert back to Snow Leopard or get your money back from Apple.
wildpix

First off, learn how you must be prepared for Lion before installing:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
Next consider one of three courses:
1. If most of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup of your older system, get an external hard drive larger than your current,
partition it for enough space for Snow Leopard and your present Lion installation on your hard drive allowing for at least 15% of each partition to have free space after cloning Lion and installing Snow Leopard and your Snow Leopard only compatible applications.
2. If very little of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup, get an external hard drive, Install Snow Leoaprd on it, and recover your data on it after using the Migration Assistant to import the data from the Lion on the internal that is compatible with Snow Leopard, and the install applications from your CDs. Once you have it working on your external hard drive, clone it back to your internal, and get a refund from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account
3. If you have a backup from before installing Snow Leopard, just erase and install Snow Leopard, and contact the App Store support for a refund.

Good luck!

This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.

About two months ago, I was able to edit these files and create videos from them. Now I get the following message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
Aside from regular Windows updates, nothing has been added or removed from my PC.
I’m using fully patched Windows 7
Premiere Elements 8.0
Canon T2I Hi def movies are .MOV

I can't believe that tech challenged moi is replying to the codec issue. I bought a new computer with Windows 7. I won't go into the tech issues with a Windows update.... Anyway I downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 and figured out how to import my photos and videos to Photoshop on the new comptuter. Photos were fine but videos wouldn't play. I got the messages about Apple's Quicktime required and then the "required codec is not installed". I went "What is a "codec"!
I downloaded Quicktime which went smoothly but I still had the "required codec not installed" message to deal with. I researched and found that it referred to compressed/decompressed files(?) Next I googled "Windows 7 codec download" (not even sure if there was one). There was! I clicked on the first result and downloaded the codec. The info stated that this codec should read 99.9% of video files. Went back to Photoshop and clicked on the blue video thumbnail. It worked!!! The video played just as it did on the old computer.
Hope this helps someone else. Now why would Windows 7 not include this codec in the first place. I never had to download one before on other computers. Only Quicktime needed downloading. Oh, well.

Photoshop Elements 11 - Video format not supported when importing files

I'm trying to make a gif using Photoshop Elements 11, but I can't seem to be able to find a video format to import that's supported. I go to File > Import > Frame from Video... then choose Browse and select the video I want, but it always tells me that video format is not supported - I've tried AVI, MPEG, MP4 and some others, and none seem to work. Any idea why?

umaniak
Do you have Premiere Elements 11 as well as Photoshop Elements 11?
How are you importing your video into Premiere Elements 11 (assumed Windows)? Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets? Or are you moving it from the Elements Organizer into the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace? Does the video play back OK on any of your computer players (Premiere Elements not involved)?
Bottom line may very well be a problem with the availability of the MotionJPEG video codec to Premiere Elements.
The 3 remedies that one frequently sees:
a. file conversion
b. download, install of MotionJPEG codec
c. grabbing appropriate codec from a camera utility if the camera has such a utility.
Please review and let us know if you have any further questions.
Thanks.

Error Message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?

I am trying to get media from my computer, and I only receive this error message :
This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?
What should I do? I have a window 8 laptop. My video files are from my itouch/ipod. I am using Premiere Elements 7.
I have used this software with success before. HELP would greatly be appreciated!

darlingdarleen
Did both laptop 1 and 2 have QuickTime (latest version or any version) installed on the computers with Premiere Elements 7 when you got this "this type of file......" message?
If you go to the opened Premiere Elements 7 projects involved and look at Share/Personal Computer/QuickTime, do you find that QuickTime Presets are shown and that you find export settings choices under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
Look at the file name of the video. Do you see any irregularies in the name of the file, dots and such?
If you record new iPod footage, open a new Premiere Elements project, and import that iPod footage, do you still get the error message? Putting aside, iTouch, what model iPod are these videos coming from?
Thanks.

I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation." I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
What I don't understand is this: I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine. Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop. 1) Why did it work before and it's not working now? 2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

How to solve "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed"?

Hi all,
I've just started using a new computer with WIndows 8.1 within the last week and have loaded my Adobe Premiere Elements 11.0 software into it.
In trying to view and edit a video I created on my old computer, I got "Media Pending" and "Media Offline" notices as soon as I began. The source files are located on an external drive with a permanent letter designation. I began the process of reconnecting my Project Assets files with the source files this morning, but have now encountered a new roadblock. Each time I try, I get the message "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." It offers no information or options other than to click "OK," which is not very helpful.
All the source files are located in one folder on my external drive. I have been able to reconnect the JPEGs and the mp3 source files but not the AVI video files.
Here are three screenshots. The first is the "Media Offline" message, the second is the message I receive when I try to reconnect my Project Assets to the source files and the third is a screenshot of the codecs installed on the new computer.
Here is my new computer information:
Model: Del Inspiron 3847
Intel Core i5-4460
CPU @ 3.20 GHz 3.20 GHz
RAM 8 GB
System type: 64-bit, x64-based processor
I hope someone can guide me. What do I need to do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Thank your for the information supplied.
But, what are the properties of this .avi file that you seek?
Video Compression
Audio Compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Right now of prime interest is the video compression that is being wrapped by that AVI wrapper/container.
AVCHD.avi
MotionJPEG.avi
XviD.avi
DviX.avi
other
There are instances were a particular video compression or a particular container/wrapper format is each supported by Premiere Elements, but
not a combo of those particular two. But, in this instance, I suspect this to be a MotionJPEG video codec issue, but your details will
point us to the actual situation, and we will plan troubleshooting strategy from there.

I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video. Do you have any suggestions? I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
that appears at the top of this forum.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
