GF4 Ti42000 TV-Out trouble, avi, mpeg

Hello,
I have a problem with playing media files. My TV-Out picture is good but when I try to use Windows Media Player the media file playing will not show on the TV. (i.e. avi, mpeg).  The same thing happens when I run WinProducer (provided by MSI) or DivX Player.
Quick Time works just fine.
I'd like to blame MS but I don't believe that's true here. What is really the problem and better, what's the solution? The picture on my computer monitor is just fine.
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like something went wrong during the burning of the DVD, and that could be many things. Have you successfully burned a DVD before? You might want to try the iDVD forums to see if they have any hints.
Unfortunately, your 800 MHz G4 is going to be really slow doing video compression. There are some things that you could do like maxing out your memory and upgrading your video card (so that the CPU doesn't have to render your screen along with compressing video) but these still won't make your computer a blazing fast system for video (might not be worth the cost to you). You can also try making sure that you don't do anything else with the computer.
Since it's taking an exceedingly long time to try the compression and view the results, it would probably be advantageous to find a small QuickTime clip on the web and use it in your tests...like some trailers for instance. It's still going to take awhile to render, but at least then you'll get to the point of errors in 4 hours instead of 12 or 28. Once you're successful with a few QuickTime clips, then cut the .AVI clip down to a minute and see if that works. At this point, you'll be able to compare successes and determine where the problem might be.
At the point in the video where you notice the squares, press space to stop, then use the left and right arrow keys to examine frame by frame to see if it's just that your video card is having a problem handling the video when it's running full speed (if it's clear frame by frame, then it'll make a good DVD). I wouldn't change the settings in iSquint yet until we determine if there's a real quality problem.

  • Having trouble importing mpeg videos from an external hard drive to iMovie or iPhoto. Keeps saying unrecognizable format. How do I get it to work?????

    I have always had a dell computer. But after the 3rd crash, we decided to throw it out and get a mac. We bought this computer a week ago. I was able to save all our family pics and videos from the dell to an external hard drive. So when I got the new Mac set up, I plugged the hard drive in and had no problem importing all our pictures. But when I tried to import our videos, I ran into some problems. We have had 3 different cameras with each having a different video format. All our videos are either avi, mpeg, or mov. All the avi videos imported successfully but the others will not. I tried importing them into imovie and iphoto and neither one will recognize the format. iphoto says unrecognizable format and imovie just completely freezes and I have to force quit.  Here is what is funny. I took the hard drive to my local store and when they hooked it up to their computer, they imported beautifully. Why won't it do the same for my brand new computer? Thanks!

  • Converting avi, mpeg, and wmv video

    Does anyone know if there is free software available and if so, where would I download from, that would enable me to convert avi, mpeg or wmv files so that I may view video on my imac? Quicktime and Realplayer fail to convert these files.

  • Can´t play AVI/MPEG via S-Video (FX-5700 Ultra3)

    Hi
    I have the following problem, when I use my TV via S-Video I can watch the desktop, and play games, but when I try to play any kind of AVI/MPEG file in the TV appears a black box (where the video is displayed, all the desktop looks fine, but the video playin window is black), I can play DVD fine, but the AVI/MPG dont appear in TV screen...
    any ideaS?????
    thanks

    You need to find the specs of the MPEG-4 videos to work out why.
    AppleTV 2 has limited format support as detailed here:
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    I would guess the MPEG-4 videos are higher resolution or worng profile.

  • P.Pro 1.5 - Losing quality in AVI/MPEG to DVD conversion

    Hi, everyone.
    Is my first time in Adobe forums and my english isn't certainly the best, so excuse me for something I'll possibly make wrong :-)
    This is my problem:
    I edit a lot of videos (holidays, weddings, karting, ...) from Mini-DV tapes. No problem on edit work, neither on export to AVI or MPEG. And at this point (after export) I don't think I had lost some video quality or if had that would be slight. But when I finished the next step (convert the resulting file to DVD format) I realize that video suffers from a substantial quality lost, mainly a distortion on whites (they get much brighter and, of course, lose some of its texture). Also, not always, is noticeable a kind of yellow and red thin lines along the "objects" shape (mainly on human faces).
    At first I thought that was noting about Premiere and all about the conversion from AVI/MPEG to DVD because it's when the problem occurs, but after I had experimented all kind of converting software and the problem happens all times (sometimes more, sometimes less), I become to think the problem may be in Premiere exporting settings.
    So, these are my Premiere exporting settings:

    I also thought the problem could be on the hardware but a few months ago I made an upgrade on my computer and changed CPU, Motherboard, RAM and Graphics card (had an AMD Sempron 2800+, 2 GB DDR and an ATI 9600 Pro 128MB) and the problem still remains...
    Actually I think it match all the needs:
    CPU: DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
    Motherboard: ASRock 4CoreDual-Sata2 (chipset: VIA Apollo PT880 Pro)
    RAM: 2x 1GB DDR2
    Graphics card: Asus EAH2600 512MB
    Windows XP Pro with SP2
    I don't care about time CPU will spend to do the task - before the upgrade it tooks aprox. 5 hours to convert a video and now it tooks only 1h30m :-). What is really important is obtaining the most quality DVD video can be possible. Can you help me?
    Perhaps someone already asked for something like my problem. If so, please excuse me and give me the link to that question.
    Many thanks to all of you in advance.

    Dag Norum:
    First of all, thank you for your quicly reply ;-)
    Second, I'm very sorry to make a reply almost a month after your answer. The reason is that I went on holidays without an opportunity to test your tip.
    I used Harm's link and than reached to a Bitrate of 8.0000 for all three fields (Min., Target and Max.) and that makes all the difference. Now I have a video with very good quality.
    But I haven't tested your tip yet to see if that improves the video final quality.
    I want to work always with the maximum quality, no matter what time is needed to convert the video and no matter the length (GB) it costs.
    Do you think I can export to an uncompressed file (avi for windows and compressor set to none) and than make the Menus with Encore? It wouldn't be better work on Encore with an MPEG2 file? The DV compressor is MPEG2, isn´t it?
    And why you suggested to not have the "Optimize stills" checked? This is to optimize the frames without movement, isn´t it? Many times I use photos inserted in the movie. This option isn't good for that?
    Your last suggestion, to go directly from timeline to the end target (MPEG2) is much different than that I use (DV compressor)?
    If you could answer my questions I would appreciate.
    Many thanks!
    (sorry if my english isn't the better)

    Sorry, I'd made a mistake.  When I answer to you I didn't realise that your sugestions was to AVI exportation and not to MPEG2.
    Of course you are absolutely right: for an intermediate file, no compression is always better than some compression :-)
    But my question about not have the "Optimize stills" checked remains. What does it makes, really?

  • Spectrum Analyzer GPIB Record and Save to AVI, MPEG, or MP4 file

    My objective is to record a waveform using labview and save it as an AVI, MPEG, or MP4 file to be able to replay it back at a later time.

  • Will AVI(mpeg-4) files from a still camera to work in iMovie 6?  How?

    I just got Casio's new EX-Z850 still camera that shoots movies in a format they call AVI (mpeg-4). I'd like them to work in iMovie, but they don't seem to work in either iMovie or iPhoto.
    In iPhoto6.0.2 the Quicktime player comes up, the clips' audio plays beautifully, but the player shows just a white screen. (On the first attempt, a message comes up saying some Quicktime component is missing.) I'm using Quicktime player version 7.0.4.
    When I drag the clips into iMovie6.0.1 I get the same, great audio but just a white screen for video.
    What should I do? The movies are beautiful (seemingly 30fps) on the camera's screen.

    Hey Kanjikid,
    I had the same problem. My Casio EX-Z750 had the same problem when i importtem to iphoto and imove it would be a blank white screen but the audio work. I tried everything to make it work. I found this on the casio website that helped me sovled my problem. Now my AVI movies work and the picture is beautiful on the computer screen playing in imovie, iphoto, and quicktime.

  • Does Final Cut Express Support Other Formats (Avi, MPEG, flv, etc)?

    I'm relatively new to Final Cut and I'm pretty excited to give this baby a try. Anyway, I've got some videos to edit and I know this software supports Quicktime videos but what about other formats such as Avi, MPEG, FLV, etc.? Do I need to get a third party software to convert these videos or can Final Cut Express handle them automatically?
    Also, when I want to edit a video and viewing it on the viewer (The screen next to the Canvas), the screen is all white when it's being paused or when I want to scroll it with the dial thingy. Why is that?

    Hi,
    Final Cut Express 4 supports only DV, HDV and AVCHD (last one only on Intel CPUs) using the Apple Intermediate Codec.
    On other than these formats, you can use Mpegstreamclip (www.squared5.com) to convert your files into one of those supported formats, DV or Apple Intermediate Codec (when using HD material).

  • HT2729 What video formats (avi, MPEG, MOV, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without adding some kind of converter?  Any?  how?

    What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter?  Are there any?  How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?  When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)

    What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter?  Are there any?
    Depends on what compressed data is in the AVI, MPEG, or MOV file container. E.g., assuming you are using the QT X v10.2 player listed in your hardware profile, a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 MPEG file will probably play correctly but an MPEG-2/MP2 or MPEG-2/PCM MPEG file may be problematic. In a similar manner, a Motion-JPEG/WAV AVI file probably won't play the video but play the audio while a DV audio/video AVI file will probably still play correctly.
    How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?
    Agian, it depends on what you mean by an MPEG file here. A "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file in an MPEG, MPG, TS, or MOV file container should play correctly while the same data in a VOB file container will neither load nor play. Further, this file is not only playback compatible with the QT X v10.2 player but is now conversion compatible to H.264/AAC MOV files on my system which was a surprise to me. On the other hand, if the MPEG file contains MPEG-2 video muxed with MP2 audio (a common PC compression combination), the file will likely have audio/video sync problems and/or freeze up entirely. However, this latter file plays back correctly and without problem in QT 7 with the Apple QT MPEG-2 playback component installed. (For the moment I assume the new support capabilities, as well as, the latest audio problems here may be associated with the system audio upgrades begun in Lion and completed in Moutain Lion.)
    When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)
    QT is in the process of being totally re-written. Unfortunately, the addition of new capabilities comes at the expense of making the "new" QT structure less and less compatible with legacy compression formats and file containers and likely signals the eventual end of QT 7 and its "Pro" capabilities in favor of higher definition, more efficient compression technologies.

  • 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".

  • MOD, AVI, MPEG help

    I recently bought a JVC Everio Camera. The camera records in MOD which is a slight problem as PREM doesnt support this. Also I have Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.
    SO, with the bundled software which came with the camera I converted the file into AVI. I found out that it converted successfully but the AVI file was 17GB and to create a DVD the bit rate was very bad. Instead I converted the MODs files into MPEG2. When importing into Prem I noticed it didnt show a thumnail of the video, intstead it showed a ornage colour saying "Media Pending". Also noticing the file was indexing, I left. After over an hour it was still indeing. This is only a 5GB file at 1hr 25mins..
    Please can you help me with my problem..
    Do I convert back to AVI and have a bad bit rate or convert to MPEG, but you mahve to to give me the solution to the "MEDIA PENDING" and INDEXING problem??
    Thanks in advance

    There are a lot of articles on the .MOD format, produced by the JVD. You will probably get a lot of info from those. IIRC, there is an entry, or two, in the FAQ's. Do not limit yourself to just the PE3 FAQ's, as much of the info contained in all of them are not version-specific.
    As for the conversion, what you want is DV-AVI Type II with PCM/WAV Audio. The file will be approximately 13GB/hour of Duration. That is the nature of that format, BUT it is what PE works with natively. Anything else WILL be converted internally to DV-AVI Type II.
    Now, you state that the included software converts to .AVI. Do you have access to the settings that it uses? Can you specify the MS DV CODEC for the .AVI? If you are not sure about which CODEC the software produces, use G-Spot to get the full info. If you cannot set the software to produce DV-AVI Type II, then you will be better to convert once again, though that should not be necessary - probably just a setting, or two. If you cannot get to DV-AVI Type II, let us know what your full range of choices is. Someone can help you choose the best one, and likely give you steps to get TO DV-AVI Type II.
    If your output is to DVD, the Export from PE will be MPEG-2, so the file size will be greatly compressed to fit on a DVD. The Duration of your final output will determine the end quality.
    The better the resource files, that you feed into PE, the better the output, and also the editing experience will be. The fewer conversions that you can use, the better the quality will be and the fewer the problems, that can crop up.
    Good luck,

    please help me. it would me appriciated.
    thanks Fredrik

    I just recently connected a tv to my card (G4Ti4200) also, and had the same prob...your card should have come with an adapter of sorts. Its a y connector, the single end connects to your vid card, it looks like a ps/2 connection similar the a mouse...then on the other side one of the two connecters stemming from the single, is an s-video connector.    Umm  I dont know if that'll help ya but ...             Good luck with it

  • Avi, mpeg and mov problems

    I`m having no luck playing streamed .avi, mpg and .mov ( all video) files.
    The avi and mpeg video files freeze up upon start up and only show the first second of the video for the first 5-10 minutes. After that they play fine although with no sound. They also play and sound fine after being downloaded and then opened.
    The mov files only show the sliding bar or , after being saved , the blank QT screen with the bar sliding and no sound.
    Also , the QT "intro" on apple.com/quicktime (the timberlake video) refuses to play properly, it just comes in very "blocky" with only occasional sound bits getting through. The same can be said about some avi files, when they do work.
    I have flip4mac , divix, 3vix, xvid installed. Tried perian but that completely killed all streaming avi playback , just a Q with ? mark. Downloaded AC3 codec and put in the QT folder. no luck.
    These are the sites in question.
    http://www.justintimberlake.com/QuickTime/justintimberlakeqt.html
    http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/1568/videos/riki_discovers.mov
    Couldn`t find any avi movies to use as an example.
    Last question. Is there a way to automaticaly stream avi and mpg files in the same QT screen as wmv and asf files?
    thank you and sorry about the long post.
    imac intel core2duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Try VLC media player regarding playing .avi files.
    ===============
    I had no problems playing the Timberlake video. However, when I tried to play your second link (.mov) all I got was the bar, no audio or video.
    Regarding your 1st link, have you tried repairing permissions & restarting?
    Regarding your 2nd link: Apparently, it's a bad video link & no fault of yours or your computer.
    ====================
    "Is there a way to automaticaly stream avi and mpg files in the same QT screen as wmv and asf files?"
    The following is a work-around for .avi files. Not sure if it will also work for .mpg files.
    Open the file with QuickTime Player.
    Open the Movie Info window (Command-i).
    Note the name of the video codec used in the file.
    Do a Google.com search for codec name +Mac and download one appropriate for your OS and computer.
    Quit and relaunch QuickTime after installing the new codec.
    Try the file again.
    Thanks to QuickTimeKirk for the above info.
    ================
    Regarding no audio sometimes................
    If repairing permissions does not work, then try the following:
    KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
    Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it and then quit.

  • Trouble opening mpeg movie files and importing into iMovie 08

    Hi, I'd be most grateful if anyone could provide any solutions to the following problem...
    A friend has emailed me two .mpeg movie files which are parts 1&2 of a home movie which I want to edit in iMovie and burn to DVD. The footage was shot on a miniHDV camcorder (not sure which brand).
    Opening in QT 7.6 gives the following warning dialogue: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
    The files will however play fine in VLC Media Player, but not in mpeg Streamclip (the file appears to play but the viewer is blank with no audio/video). Trying to import into iMovie is unsuccessful. The iMovie browser won't let me choose the files or drag/drop.
    Any ideas. I read somewhere that iMovie 08 can't import mpeg-1 files. Do I need to convert the files, and if so how?
    Thanks in advance, and apologies - this is my first experience of video editing.

    I have QT Player but it hasn't "kicked in" when I try to import my videos.
    Something called PIXE VRF Browser is supposed to help in the conversion. The QT MPEG-2 thingy won't install until I buy QT Pro, according to what I get on the screen.
    Sounds like you have too many applications trying to do the same thing. Either use the Pixela Pixe VRF Browser or use the Mac applications (Mac OS Finder, Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component w/MPEG Streamclip) but not both to do the same job. The Apple Finder should be able to copy multiplexed VOB/MPEG-2 files from either your PC burned DVD or directly from your camcorder DVD to your MAC hard drive where MPEG Streamclip/QT MPEG-2 component can convert them for use in iMovie '08. Frankly, I don't understand your work work flow or why you want to import your files to a GOP editor in the first place if your goal is to do frame level editing in iMovie '08.
    As for Jon's suggestion, I am on dial-up and cannot download big files at 3-4 Kbps snail pace.
    What does this have to do with importing your camcorder files to your PC and re-burning them to DVD for use on your Mac? If I were to make a recommendation here, it would have been to use an external hard drive here rather than DVDs for transporting files between platforms and then only if you want the files available to both. If your goal is only to edit them in iMovie '08 or iMovie HD on your Mac, then why not cut out the "middleman" platform?
    I wish I could purchase these updates on DVDs but the genies couldn't even tell me if there's such a service.
    Totally confused here. Are you saying your DVR-D300 files were commercial produced or that you are dealing with torrent downloads of copy-written material? These are two separate issues with facets beyond the scope of this forum.
    As for "platform", I have iMovie08. iMac does not read the mini RAM disks when I connect the camera to a USB port.
    Are you saying the Finder doesn't read them or that iMovie '08 doesn't read them? Do you "finalize" your DVDs before trying to read them via USB as the manual states may be necessary as indicated on page 150 of your manual?
    How can I find out that iMovie09 will let me import and edit my Panasonic videos?
    You could try going to the Apple site and checking the the tapeless camcorder compatibility chart. The Panasonic DVR-D300 is specifically listed along with a hot link for additional information. However, this still won't help you you don't finalize the content.

  • 5.1 surround audio into Final Cut Studio out to AVI file with 5.1 surround?

    Someone wants to give me a 5.1 surround sound audio file for importing into my Final Cut Studio project, then I export my video (now with 5.1 surround) out to an AVI file with the 5.1 surround sound intact. How do I do this?
    thanks

    I also have this problem...
    Purchased an HD TV show (Nip/Tuck) and selected the alternate audio track labeled "Surround Audio" and got that digital audio "NOISE".
    Regular audio sounds fine - can play iTunes music and system sounds sound good, just can't select the alternate "Surround" audio track without getting the noise.
    I'm on an "older" MacMini - Intel CoreDuo using the SPDIF optical output into a Pioneer 5.1 receiver set to the appropriate Optical input and "Dolby Digital". I attempted to change the audio input processing on the receiver...all of which have the noise described by others...
    Would LOVE a solution to this problem...
