CS3 for Mac Question- Acceptable Video Formats? Not recognizing .AVIs

Hey guys, I am running a Mac Pro and my wife got me Premiere Pro for Mac, since I use it on PC. I am able to capture video fine, but Premiere Pro CS3 does not seem to recognize the majority of files I try to import.
For example, I have a small handheld camcorder that exports .AVI files. Premiere does not accept them. Convert them to MP4 and Premiere does not accept them. Anyone have any recommendations for conversion software to make these files importable to Premiere Pro for Mac?
Thanks,

The camcorder is creating avi files in a codec that Premiere does not
like. Its very likely that you would have the exact problem on the
Windows version of Premiere.
You can apparently still get Visual Hub

I suggest you do it while you can because the software has been
currently discontinued (there are some open source rebirth rumors)
Visual Hub is a lovely little converter.

  • My Passport for Mac external Hard drive is not recognized

    I recently had to purchase a new MacBook Pro, and when I tried to get files off of my Passport for Mac external hard drive.  I get an error stating "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer."  And when I try to initalize, and verify disk, I get this message "Partition map check failed because no slices were found.".  I have already updated firmware for the external hard drive.  One site I found stated that it could be that the USB port is not strong enough, and I would need a 2.0 Booster cable.  Does anyone know if this would work? 

    What did you old Macbook die from?  Likely the HD in it is still ok,  yes?
    You can remove the HD inside your old dead Mac and put it into a $20 HD enclosure or HD dock, and remove the photos that way, very easy.........IF your old Macbook died from something other than ALSO a bad HD.
    You said----my OLD Macbook pro which recently lost video
    What happened with your old "dead" macbook?  Still have it?

  • AppleTV - Video Format Not Recognized

    I know this question is out there, but I can't find the answer that helps.   I have one of the Apple TVs that you sync to, not stream, and I've downloaded a bunch of digital workouts that I purchased online.  I've never had a problem playing them before and now I'm getting the message that the format is not recognized on some of them.   They're all the very same format (Mpeg-4).    I've tried rebooting, resyncing, deleting them and adding them again.... I just don't get it!   All of my software is up-to-date too.  
    It's REALLY ticking me off!   These workouts weren't cheap, so I'm quite displeased that I can't use them.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What resolution and frame rate are these videos, where did you purchase them from.

  • Acrobat 8 for MAC, Scanner CanonScan Lide 30 Not Recognized

    Hi,
    I have a problem. I need to create pdf from the scanner but the scanner is not recognized by Adobe Acrobat 8. Does anyone have the same problem? Did you fix that problem? How? any help would be great,
    Thanks in advance.
    George
    PS: I'm using Leopard V. 10.5.5

    Unless your Scanner uses a Twain Driver recognized by, The Mac Computer system and therefore Acrobat. It will not work in Acrobat.
    A work around is to use the SANE/Twain Driver from the S.A.N.E. Project. Google for SANE. It has to do with Scanners. Then locate when you get to site the link for Macintosh and click that.
    choose the components needed for your system Unless you are developer stay away from the SDK's. Install all the components , restart computer, then open Acrobat and and go to section on on scanner and choose SANE device. your now set up to go through procedure to scan

  • Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

    This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
    Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
    In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
    Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
    I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator.  This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted. 
    I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before.  I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
    I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this.  I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only.  If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
    I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
    I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
    My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be).  Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
    As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue.  The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
    It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4.  Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
    I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

    I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
    I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app.  When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either.  So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall.  Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
    I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.  
    There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.  
    So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

  • HT3775 Hi, my mac which is on 10.7.5 osx. but when ever i insert any mpeg/avi video cd it shows the file format not recognized. i am fed up of this. plz somebody help me. what should i do now.

    hi,
              i am using 10.7.5 lion there are a lot of problems in this OS.
    like most of the programs quit's unexpectedly. some programs does not work on it. like adobe cs5 is not working. everytime time when i do click on adobe cs 5 icon it shows a message "To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” again" while i always remain connected on the net.
    2. when ever i insert an avi or mpeg video disk it shows the file format not recognized. to **** with this macbook pro n its 10.7.5 lion. the same disk works/runs on windows on windows systems.
    plz somebody help me what should i do now.
    [email protected]

    it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
    The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
    first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
    choose that and let it reinstall.
    Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
    To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

    you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.

  • We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

    We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

    Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

  • Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac quits when exporting

    I'm using Premiere CS3 for Mac and I imported several mpeg footage I took with my Sony Cybershot camera. The videos are in 640x480, but when I opened a new project I choose 720x480 DV format. Then the videos were stretched to the DV size.
    When I try to export my timeline, the render dialog shows 'compiling...' and nothing happens with the progress bar and Premiere is suddenly closed.
    I took one of the videos and rendered it as Quicktime movie 720x480 in AFX, and then I created another timeline with this new video and the export worked fine.
    I think the problem is the MPEG format that my CyberShot uses. Am I right?

    Yes.

  • Fl.events incomplete? on CS3 for mac

    Hi,
    After watching one video tutorial from
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/,
    i´ve noticed that my flash actions frame is not complete
    comparing with the video tutorial. So far, i´ve notice the
    missing IEventDispatcher and EventDispatcher. It doesn´t
    appear in my Flash CS3 for MAC. I´m using Leopard OS. What
    should i do to get those methods and properties in the actions
    frame.
    I´m starting with AS3 and some help would be Great.

    IEventDispatcher and EventDispatcher are classes not methods.
    Whenever you do an addEventListener you're using IEventDispatcher.
    Look in the Flash 9 help for Interface IEventDispatcher, or
    in the Actions window look under flash.events.

  • Video format not supported error

    video format not supported error help

    You get the error message when you try to sync your MOV / M4V / MP4 files from your iTunes to your iPad? The files are playable in iTunes?
    Then, you'll need to change their so-called H.264 level to 4.1 or below. If you have a Mac, you'll need to use Subler. See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/watching-videos-taken-max-roundup-mkv-mp4m4v-v ideo-converters for a complete tutorial; start at the paragraph starting with "After this, it's worth clicking the video track in the upper list if you want to play the video back in the stock Videos app on your iDevice and not in a third-party one".
    The background explanation for all this is to be found at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/making-stock-videos-application-play-every-mp4 -files-possible . Note that it uses other, more akward utilities to do the level fixing. Again, if you have a Mac, Subler is your friend.

  • LOST TOOLS PANEL in Illustrator CS3 for Mac !

    I recently installed Adobe CS3 for Mac on an iMac G5 OS X 10.4.11.  Photoshop works great with no problems.  However in Illustrator I cannot get my Tools Panel to appear.   My "WINDOW" pull down menu in Illustrator only has the following options: "New Window", "Minimize Window", "Bring All to Front", "Attributes", "Info" and "Type".  The "VIEW" pull down menu has many options but none seem to open up the Tools panel. None of my Drawing Tools, Shape Tools, Cutting Tools, Moving Tools etc are visible!
    I have uninstalled and then re-installed CS3 to no avail.  I have tried to reset the Adobe software preferences by simultaneously holding down "Command+Option+Shift+Control" during Illustrator launch, a tip I found online but it also failed to work.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks!

    This is what i think is wrong.
    i think though you have installed AI three times you have also made an alias of the applications icon, or what you thin is an alias.
    But what you probably have done is to make a copy of the application outside of the application folder.
    If in fact you do think that you are launching fro an alias trash the alias and not and make a new one by holding down the command and option key as you drag the icon. What you probably did was only hold the option key down which made a copy of the application outside the application folder which could prevent these features from loading.
    Now I have also heard there is a software conflict that can cause this but I admit I do not recall what that is.
