Conversions in Adobe Media Converter are too short

I've been trying to convert dvd videos to wmv's. Every video I try only shows that it's length is under 10 seconds, even though each video is from 5 to 10 minutes long. Why is it only converting 10 seconds of a 5 minute video?

Please tell us more about the source content. Are they from your own project? Did you rip them from a DVD?
Are you importing the DVD videos directly into AME, or are they in Premiere sequences that you're exporting to AME? If the former, have you tried opening the clips in PPRO to see whether that app sees their full length? If the latter, do you have a work area defined?
Also, what version of AME do you have, and are you working on Windows or Mac?

  • FLV Conversion in Adobe Media Converter substandard

    I have just purchased the entire CS4 suite and have noticed some severe limitations to
    the so called "media conversion" software that comes with the suite.
    I have a 2400x600 mov file that needs to be converted to FLV for a Flash presentation.
    However, this piece of software has a maximum resolution of 1920x600 in this
    situation.
    As this is 2009, this is totally unacceptable, and even when upgrading to the latest
    updated the flv conversions are still limited to 1920x600.
    (Interestingly enough Flash Mx2004 can do a 2400x600 transconvert)

  • HDV conversion for Premiere CC  Windows using Adobe Media Converter

    We are trying to use HDV footage in Premiere CC on a Windows system. The HDV footage was given to us already been captured on a drive. It will play using different players. We need to convert it to a format that Windows Premiere CC can understand. When we go to convert the footage in Adobe Media Converter, it can not even read the footage to be able to convert it. The Export Settings/Source says "Media Pending"    What are we missing here? Thanks.

    "Media Pending" means just that...be patient. When I import HDV clips into Premiere, I get that same message on screen, but at lower right of Premiere screen it will show a progress bar for "Indexing" of the MPEG video. Once that completes, then I can see the video. Give it a try in Premiere. HDV is definitely supported.
    Thanks

  • Compressor is exporting clips that are too short in duration

    Hi,
    I am sending clips via FCP 7 into Compressor 3.5.
    The problem is that the outputted clips are too short in duration.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    I need to fix it quick!
    Thanks,
    Phil.

    Hi, welcome to the forums.
    It might be possible that you have set an IN and/or OUT point somewhere.
    Double check and make sure that in FCP or Compressor Preview window you
    do not have IN/OUT set on a selection of clips.

  • Published pages are too short

    I have set the "content height" to 3000px and it looks fine in iweb but when I publish them they are too short and are cutting off content. I'm using the photo page. If you want to check it out it's www.donnae.ca and one of the cut off pages is sculpturally functional/ misc vases & bowls. I have tried it on other machines... I've cleaned out caches ... help!

    Thanks, I tried that and it didn't help. I even tried putting text at the end and it's still ending in the middle of the page.

  • Can I add codecs to Adobe Media Converter?

    I have two marketing professionals who from time to time have to convert media that a third party sends us to a format we can post on our internal intranet site.  Being a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7, the most common format that will play in browser is WMV.  One person can convert to WMV and a whole boatload of other formats are also available in the format column.  Another person only has a few things in their format column like FLV and MPEG4.  We tried the MPEG4 option and we copied the file to our intranet webserver and followed code guidelines here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_videos.asp but Windows XP clients using IE7 or 8 cannot playback the file.  The only thing that seems to work for IE7/8 XP users is using this mess of code here: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/streaming/embed.html  and ensuring that the video file is in WMV format.
    So basically we need to add a way for the other person to get all the additional formats... really just the WMV format.  The origninal file is a mov file and can be well over 100+ MB.  The WMV file is about 20-30 MB and on a LAN is is much better than 100+ mb.  Plus WMV just natively works without installing additional software on 100+ employees machines.
    Thank you for your help.
    Adobe CS5.

    We ended up purchasing a program for $35 to convert the video.
    Seems like the Adobe Creative suite includes Media Encoder, but only the most advanced CS suite with Premier adds all the codecs to Media encoder.  First I did try adding things like sharks windows xp codec pack and others.  While that allows playback of various h.264, x.264, mkv and other file formats, it does not add anything like wmv to Adobe Media Encoder.
    $35 wasn't a bad price compared to Adobe Premier which would be a waste to spend money on something they just need to convert - not produce video.

  • Is Adobe's upgrade cycle too short?

    I'm really happy CS4 includes the new multiple artboards feature. I find new uses and productivity enhancements for it in my work every day. But it seems like a lot of options that could be used with it were left out. No way to renumber or assign names to the artboards. No way to get back to the original Document Setup, that includes artboards. No default method for setting up master pages.
    Its has been suggested that the reason for this is that the engineers didn't have time to fully implement all the options they wanted to flesh this feature out. Why not?
    I think it's because they have to stick to Adobe's rigid upgrade release schedule, which seems to be around 18 months and which dictates that the product will release on a certain date, so you better make sure whatever features are included at least work to a "good enough" degree. They can be completed in the next release.
    The problem is that the next release also has to include brand new features to justify an upgrade price, and there's insufficient time to revisit incomplete features from the previous version.
    In my opinion, Adobe should add more time to the current upgrade cycle - or better yet, don't release it until the features are complete. More time between releasese would necessitate a timely, perhaps mid-cycle FREE dot upgrade, with bug fixes and minor enhancements, but for some reason (probably the short upgrade cycle) Adobe is loath do do this.
    I know this flies in the face of the creative suite model, where every Adobe product has the same deadline. But it seems to me that what you get in quantity in this model, you give up in the quality of the individual products. I think the current schedule regime is simply asking too much of engineers (not to mention consumers).
    This is pure conjecture on my part. For all I know, the whole schedule is completely driven by the engineers and their desire to get new stuff into the hands of users as soon as possible.

    Well I have a little first hand knowledge of this, I was a part of a couple of focused groups that were held here in New York.
    That focus group i particular had a strong influence on what Adobe should do. There may have been other groups that had a say but unless they said the same exact thing as this focus group they did not have the same influence.
    This was what they wanted to know, how long was long enough before you want to see an upgrade. I thought two years but everyone else said 1 1/2 years and there was no two ways about it. This focused group was actually about Photoshop.
    Then they said that an update should be a .01, .02, etc a point .1, .2, etc should be reserved for a upgrade that might be a free one for enhancing a feature that was new or old in which they found it necessary to improve which meant that it is not likely to ever be employed. that I went along with the first one about 1 1/2 year seemed a little rushed.
    They also asked us about the slash screen and I thought the Photoshop one the showed us look more like Illustrator and that I would prefer a very clean looking splash screen that was more professional looking, very simply and efficient looking.
    Everyone else seemed to accept that even though they pretty much disagreed with me on everything else. I know what I said had a strong influence about killing the splash screen they wanted to use originally, what made them ultimately clean up the splash screens later on I do not know but I do not think that had anything with what happened in that focus group. Not directly.
    The policies that Adobe is now taking including the help online was also discuss and i do not really recall what the consensus but i seem to remember that they prefer to be able to access resources on line and they like on line tutorials over a help system and i think they were willing to pay for such services.
    The group was made up of photographer professional & amateurs, art directors, production people, and one or two Illustrators about twenty people in all.
    The art directors opinions seem to weigh the most influence in the group and based on how they asked the question it seemed geared to their needs most and so there was not reason to opposed their suggestions in a strong way.
    Even though I strongly disagreed on a couple of issues there seemed to be no reason to oppose what they had to say as it seemed quite logical for the large user base.
    So that is how the decision to upgrade every 18 months came about. At least after that it has always been 18 months.
    It was user defined by a very strong demand.

  • Adobe Media Converter problems...

    Problem #1 - seems when I'm trying to convert larger files, I instantly get the message in the timeline "Conforming file..." - this NEVER goes away.  However, 9 times out of 10, if I restart my machine and try again it will instantly start encoding without any issues - so obviously there was no need for any conforming in the first place.  What could be causing this and how do I fix it?
    Problem #2 - my file are 1920x1080.  If I convert them to f4v's without any resizing, and then play in a flash player at 640x360, the video is stretched and not as "high" as it should be, despite the 640x360 being a perfect aspect ratio to the 1920x1080.  If I do convert with resizing, then it looks fine, but I'd like to have a better quality when users switch to full screen if possible...
    What might I be doing wrong?  Thanks in advance...

    If the Audio is not in 32-bit, floating point form, with existing PEK files, then it DOES need to be conformed. I do not know of any camera that shoots 32-bit, floating point Audio, but might have missed one.
    In your Project's Scratch Disk folders do you have the CFA and PEK files already? If not, they need to be generated. If so, no Conforming should go on.
    Because of the size of the CFA's, I mentioned the free space on HDD's, as many have experienced Conforming issues, when they just did not have enough space. Cannot say that this is your issue, but is something to check.
    Also, the time to Conform the Audio will depend greatly on the Audio specs. and CODEC used, plus the Duration of the Clips, plus the speed of the computer.
    As a for instances, if one Imports a muxed MPEG w/ 12-bit 32KHz Audio (MPEG CODEC), it will take MUCH longer to Conform, than would a DV-AVI Type II with PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit Audio.
    With the former, one can expect to go to Starbucks, get a latte and then come back to find it completing, and with the latter, it will happen almost too quickly to even see the blue progress bar. Still, the Durations and the system will weigh heavily on those general timings.
    Good luck,

  • Links generated by Word Adobe plug-in are too large

    Surprise me...by helping me to come up with a solution to this obscure, but very annoying, issue.
    Our company recently moved from Office 2003 to 2010 and from Acrobat Pro 9 to X.  We are still using Windows XP.  Our standard process involves generating PDFs with internal links via an Adobe plug-in to Word--elements such as cross references and TOCs generated in Word are turned into PDF links via Distiller (not a server install).
    The problem is that the links that are created using all this upgraded software are "larger" than they used to be.  They encompass more than just the letters of the cross reference and often include punctuation that follows, such as periods and closing parens.  This means that when we continue with our process of turning linked text blue, characters turn blue that should be black.  The old setup did not do this.
    Is there any way to adjust the margins/buffer/link size so that the links that are created are tighter around the linked text?  Is there another way to address this?  Adjusting each link of a large document is unsustainable, but leaving these characters blue is unacceptable.
    Your help is appreciated!

    Thanks very much for your reply.
    I was hoping there would be some tweak I could make to the settings of Distiller or maybe some registry tweaks to change the link rectangle buffer size prior to the creation of the PDF links from the Word document.  I understand that the links are just "rectangles on the page" once they exist in the PDF document--but even a script to decrease the size of all of the links in all directions after rendering the PDF would be helpful, since the increase in size seems to be in all directions.
    I suppose I can export the links to a spreadsheet and create a formula to decrease the link measurements by a specified amount and then re-import them.
    I wonder what caused the change.
    Here is a screenshot of the difference if it helps at all.  It's at two different magnifications, but you can still see that the period is included in one and not in the other.  And the link box is larger in all directions.
    Thanks again.

  • Long files are too short

    I'v met this problem a few times...
    I'm working on a DVD authoring.
    The film is 1hour40min long.
    The audiofiles I got from the 5.1 mixing studio came chopped as 6 acts (for the cinema release) so each file is aprox 17 min each. Now I need to bring all these files into Logic to merge the acts into continuous clips.
    Each file for each act begins with a reference tone and silence, and they overlap, so the last seconds of act 1 are also the begining of act 2, aso. So you understand I need to have a reference to sync these to.
    So, I have the stereo file, which is one continuous file, covering the whole movie... it is 1 hour 40 min long.
    When I load this file onto the arrange window it shows as an audiofile only 1 beat long! But there is no problem listening to the file... I hit play, and it plays the whole file, but however I tug, pull, try to expand the file to its actual length, it will only be 1 beat long, visually.
    Why is this?
    I need to zoom in so I can sync the 5.1 tracks both visually and audioally.

    Hi Per,
    Well, it wasn't so simple really... "Bug" wasn't my first thought. Actually, I thought I was doing something wrong, and it took a while to figure out that "it wasn't me, it was the program".
    Out of sheer desperation I created the shorter region as I described (desperation is the mother of invention).
    When it came to working on cues for the back half of the movie, I had to repeat this operation and make a region out of the back end. That's where things got tricky.
    I would suggest that you take the following steps and see if this works for you:
    1. Add the audio file to the arrange window (let's say it's called "QT Audio")
    2. Click on an empty area of the Arrange window and open the Event Editor
    3. Look for the item called "QT Audio", double click on the position value, type 1 0 0 0, Enter.
    4. Open your movie, set your SMPTE start time and check sync (for this example, let's say that your time code starts at 01:00:00:00.00
    5. Open the Audio Window for "QT Audio"
    6. View = SMPTE
    7. This step is very important: Look at your cue sheet and pick a point that's about 1/2 way through the movie where there is no music. This will be where you divide the audio file. Let's say that point is at 32 minutes.
    8. Select a region that starts from the beginning and ends at 32 minutes, i.e., 01:32:00:00
    8. Save that region as an audio file (call it "QT first half")
    9. Now, use the Toggle Selection function to select everything from 01:32:00:00 to the end (call it "QT second half")
    10. Save that region as another audio file
    Now you have two smaller audio files that should display OK in the Arrange Window (unless the breakpoint is 32 minutes!). And if you start a new sequence/song for the cues after 32 minutes you have a 2nd-half audio file that starts at a known point.

  • Watch bands are too short.

    What solution does Apple offer to those of us who need watch bands longer than 215mm?
    Can extra links for the link band be purchased?
    Can the Link band actually be extended past the length of 215mm? (I ask because I know that the links progressively get narrower along the length of the band).
    Are there any Apple employees around that have done their training and can answer the above?

    This is a user to user technical support forum.  If any Apple employees ARE here, they would be unable to provide you with any information other than what Apple has already make public on their website.  I'm sure there will be plenty 3rd party accessories for the watch, including bands.  Meantime, you'll just have to wait and see.

  • Stills imported are too short

    My understanding is that stills are usually imported into iMovie at a length of 5 seconds, but mine are all coming in at 3 seconds or less - I have tried to figure this out but is there any way to set the duration of imported stills back to 4 or 5 seconds?
    thanks in advance for any help.
    also I am not working on my laptop, but a friend's G4 Tower - lots more storage space left on that.

    Hi cmp31 - stills are imported at the duration last set in the photos pane. Thus to change this, import one photo, and change its duration to the length you want all of the rest to be. Then import the others.

  • Why don't third party lightning cables work? Apples are too short

    Why since updating my iPhone 5 to IOS7 do none of my lightning cables work. I dismissed the message that came up and had it on charge over night but nothing. This is ridiculous, how can Apple do this to their customers, if they actually made longer charging cables and at a reasonable price people wouldn't have to buy thrid party party. I don't think my Apple cable is even working either.

    If the third-party cable is MFi (Made for iPhone) approved, it should work.
    Apple now sells longer cables.
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD819ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-2-m>
    Belkin has an even longer one.
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/HB560ZM/A/belkin-21-amp-lightning-to-usb-charg esync-cable>
    It's being sold by Apple, so is probably MFI approved.  Its Lightning connector may not fit some caews, though.

  • Lightroom License Key too short

    Hello
    I just bought a license key online but it seems like the key I find in my Adobe-account it is too short. I am missing 2 characters.
    What I also find a little strange about the key is that it starts with 5 letters, and the rest are numbers.
    Does somebody know the reason and solution to this?
    Thanks in advance

  • Can't locate Adobe Media Encoder Vista (64bit)

    I am having trouble locating AME in C:>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Premiere Pro CS5.  This is the trial version, Installed it about a week ago and had to reinstall because of a system restore I had to do.  Last time I installed it, there was a sub folder with a shortcut to AME.   Now I get a dead link labled Adobe Media Converter and when I click on it, I get a "file can't be located" error message.  Anyone here having the same issue?  I don't want to take the risk of purchasing a corrupt file.  Adobe clean tool didn't detect anything.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I think i'll take my future posts elsewhere.  
    Why?  The information you got was accurate.
    John was describing the situation if you exceed your 30 days with the trial.  Harm was talking about obtaining En and AME separately from Pr; he wasn't talking about installing them separately.
    Finally, you went looking for a 64-bit app in Windows' 32-bit Program Files (x86) folder.  64-bit apps are found in the plain ol' Program Files folder.  You were looking in the wrong place.
    If you feel hard done by the other users here, I understand.  But I doubt you'll find as knowledgeable a group elsewhere, and you certainly won't find the employee participation that you get here anywhere else.
    Good luck with whatever you decide.
