Compressor not processing mpeg video

I've been running the new final cut studio 2 software and all of the sudden when i simulate my dvd burn in dvd studio pro after i have compressed my assets-the only thing i get is audio. It pulls up a black screen and i can hear my audio transitions but have no video whatsoever.
Does anyone have any suggestions? any help would be appreciated....

It was recorded and captured from a sony HV1U HD video camera in 1080i. I submitted the assests from final cut pro to the compresser from the DVD best quality 120 minutes setting in the pull down menu which is AC3 and M2V.

Compressor wont process mpeg video properly

my compressor will process the audio in dolby fine but when i go to simulate my burn in dvd studio pro-it will only play audio and no video whatsoever.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you using Compressor to create both a ac3 and a m2v file? These files must have the same exact name with the different extension IDs.
If you have both a ac3 and a m2v file that when brought into DVD SP and placed together on the same track still results in a black screen, you'll need to tell us information about the QuickTime file you used to create the m2v. Tell us the compression codec, image size and the frame rate.

Problem importing mpeg video

please, my premiere is not importing mpeg video format. i started editing it yesterday, but its not working anymore...

More detail is needed:
Which Premiere, OS, what is the source exactly (codec), sequence settings, comp specs.

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

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.

IMovie will not load avi/wmv videos, leaves sound out of mpg/mpeg videos

When i load mpg and mpeg videos into iMovie, the videos come out fine, but leave the sound out for some reason. There is no sound clip that is loaded with it. And when it comes to loading "avi" videos, it loads them, but they are blank. It loads a black video clip with no sound. And when it comes to downloading "wmv" videos it stops and says there was an error. This is the message it sends me. "The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh HD/Volumes/Maxtor Extra Storage/WTC VIDEOS/WMV/911.wtc.2.no.base.smoke.wmv” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048".
If you know anything about this, have an answer, or even a suggestion, I would greatly appreciate a response from you. My computer model is a Mac OSX 10.0 and I currently have iLife 06 with iMovie HD. Thanks a lot.
Mike

Hello Mike,
MPEG video has muxed audio streams, which iMovie doesn't like - you'll have to convert.
Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:

and also on Matti Haveri's website: How can I edit MPEG or convert DVD or MPEG to DV
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/%7Eshmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#edit_convertMPEG
Tools:
MPEG StreamClip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
Apple MPEG2 PlayBack:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
AVI is a container (like Quicktime's .mov) and contain various codecs. In order to know how to convert, you'll need to find out what exact codec has been used. A possibility is that it's one of the numerous DivX codecs.
FFmpegX converts various AVI and DivX file types:

WMV files can be played with Flip4Mac, in order to convert them you'll need to get the $$ pro-version ....

Compressor not outputting DVD even after numerous fixes attempted

I’m having problems getting Compressor 3.5 to output a DVD. Source file is a 135GB ProRes 422 HQ Quicktime file at 1920x1080 resolution -- it’s the final cut of my 106-minute feature film. I’ve tried numerous solutions to the problem described below but nothing works.
Last year after outputting the film’s rough cut to DVD, I was unhappy with artifacts, so I put off further DVD outputs and used Compressor’s Blu-ray template to output a BD-R screener (using default settings). It looked great, and I used that same template to burn BD’s of the final cut. But when attempting DVD output again, I decided (because of the artifact issue) to try this tutorial -- http://lumenosity.blogspot.com/2010/07/best-apple-compressor-settings-for-dvd.ht ml -- which the author claims produces excellent results, albeit with long encode times. I tried his settings numerous times, and in each case, Compressor stopped/failed after about 10 mins. (it would encode the .ac3 audio but not the m2v video).
I installed and ran Digital Rebellion’s Compressor Repair (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/) which made no difference.
I tried everything listed on Apple’s “Compressor 3.5: Troubleshooting Basics” support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888), including reinstalling Compressor today. That hasn’t solved it.
I thought upgrading to Compressor 4 might solve the problem, but first had to upgrade the OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard, which I did today (I know, I'm behind in the OS, but my Mac Pro is a circa 2008 machine). I still haven’t upgraded to Compressor 4, though, and wonder if that’s likely to make any difference.
A few hours ago I tried to output a 10-minute sample of the movie (still in ProRes 422 HQ format) to DVD via my newly re-installed Compressor 3.5, and using the “Burn DVD” template, and what should have taken 30 mins. (according to Compressor) was locked at 95% complete and hour and a half later. When I cancelled, the m2v and ac3 streams were completed, but Compressor never asked for a blank DVD to complete the job. I repeated the process and it failed again.
Now, BEFORE re-installing Compressor today, I did successfully output a 2 minute DVCPRO-HD file to DVD using Compressor’s “Burn DVD” template, but when I attempted to re-output that same file again later – after updating the OS and re-installing Compressor as described above – it failed just like the 10-minute sample movie above (locked at 95% complete).
And for what it's worth, I should mention that many times in the last year I’ve used Compressor 3.5’s “Create Web Reference Movie” template and it has always worked, though the History pane ALWAYS says it failed.
Thanks for any ideas on how to solve this mess.

I moved on to uninstalling Compressor 3.5 using the instructions found here -- (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888) -- being very careful to follow it to the letter. In fact, I followed all of the various solutions in that document, not just the uninstall and reinstall. I re-installed Compressor 3.5 using the original FCS Studio 3 discs (upgrade version), and the process took several hours and asked for all FCS3's discs at various points (I was surprised it even asked for the Audio Content discs).
Mike
It sounds like when the FCS re-install was run that the entire suite of software was installed. I'm surprised that could happen. I thought whatever apps the installation disk saw were already on the machine were automatically grayed out in the dialogue window.
You should be able choose only the applications you want to install, which would be Compressor and Qmaster. There should be no content disks involved and the whole process should take no more than 20 minutes.
Digital Rebellion makes a utility called FCS Remover. It removes the correct files automatically. Try running that and check Compressor and Qmaster only.
As for the reinstall, omly Compressor and Qmaster should be selected.

HELP! AC3 Files from compressor (FCS2) in MPEG Streamclip!

I'm having a problem - I'm creating 5.1 AC3 audio files with Soundtrack Pro/Compressor. The files are playing back fine, but when I import them into MPEG Streamclip, it is not recognized. Normal (downloaded AC3 files from Dolby, etc) work fine - it must be a setting I am using, but I have tried everything. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've got a project due that I need to be able to stitch together MPG video with AC3 5.1 audio into one MPG2. So far, streamclip is all I have found to do this...I am using Final Cut Studio 2. Any help is SO appreciated!!

Aaah, I wish I could help! I have exactly the same problem! I was going to post about it, but since there's this workaround, I didn't want to take up bandwidth with a problem that was not a total showstopper.
Indeed. I have stopped doing what I used to do before. Before, I used to select "All" in compressor - the files generated were the video, the aiff, and the ac3. Well after burning a few coasters through DVDSP 4.1 where there was picture but no sound, I realized that I needed to drag the aiff file to compressor again, and use that - at that point everything is fine. So, right now, my workflow is to export just the video from FCP through compressor, let it encode. Then export the aiff separately and encode it to a3 in compressor, then import the video and ac3 to DVDSP for good results. In short, no more exporting "All" from FCP through compressor, it's a waste of time.
But as to why, I have no idea, and I'm eager to hear what folks have to say! Anyhow, just letting you know you are not alone. Btw. my set up is: FCP 4.5 HD, compressor 2.1 and DVDSP 4.1.0... what's yours?

DVD SP, Compressor - where's MPEG-2 ?

I thought when I bought DVD Studio Pro, it included Compressor and MPEG-2 compression.
I have DVDSP 3.0.2 and Compressor 1.2.1, but my QT7 does not play MPEG-2 streams...

William,
Some place in the DVD SP package you should have had the MPEG-2 playback component for Quicktime to install. This gives the Quicktime player the ability to play back MPEG-2 video. See http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ for more information on the playback component.
You may, or may not, get audio playback from your clips. It doesn't give you the ability to convert other QT files to MPG-2 (that's what Compressor is for).

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

Video's are missing and can not post any video's and can no longer see on Facebook after upgrading mac software. Facebook says content is unavailable. Is this a facebook issue or is there something that I can do to fix on my mac.

Video's are missing from facebook album under photo's. It shows that I have 99 and only shows 24. These are not copyright problems. I have had them up for years. Now, I can not post any video's too. Message says that content is currently unavailable. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to 10.7.5 but it could be coincidental. Of course, I have not got any email from facebook to help with this problem and I am really frustrated that I can not find my video's and post any new ones anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Not able to video ichat

I have two macbook's and I am not allowed to video chat between the two. Can any one tell me why this is?

To go a stage further.
Google run a Jabber server for their service.
Jabber apps (those that can) use a Protocol called Jingle to make the A/V connections.
Google's version is not even that compatible with other Jabber apps. (See Here)
The Plug-in in the Google Install (Or the Standalone Web Browser Plug-in allow Browsers to access the GoogleTalk A/V side as does the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
iChat uses a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect to other iChat Users or to the AIM for PC app.
However this also works in any iChat to iChat Connection no matter if the Buddy List is an AIM Login based one, Jabber (including GoogleTalk) or A LAN based Bonjour Chat.
In you care this is not going to work.
Getting the Standalone (Intel only) Browser Plug-in and using the Chat option in the Google Mail Web page is probably the easiest option.

OnnySmith

All the comments about files that are not of the DVD-Video are normal. Those are files that DVDSP creates and are simply ignored in the burning.
The last line is the key one. It seems either your disc was bad or your recording device is having problems.
Try with a another new disc.
fwiw - certain brands were known to have issues. It's been a while since I've built a DVD but I remember always using Taiyo Yuden and had very few coasters from bad discs.
