Having trouble with DVD Video files. Please Help! :)

Hi I recently got a film DVD I wanted to take a clip off. However although I can watch the section I want in Windows Media Player, when I import the film into Premiere - some of it is missing! there are 4 files '4-1',4-2','4-3',4-4' which make up the movie. I can load them all in but 4-3 is missing the last 15-20 minutes, even though I know its there - cos this file is the same size as the previous one which is full length. Does anyone know why this would be? The DVD is unencrypted.
Please help - its quite annoying that the small section of film I want is the bit that won't appear! Thank you very much
Rich

Based on this one line:
The DVD is unencrypted.
I was assuming that it was not protected. However, as you point out, some aspects might be, and the OP might not be completely aware of this.
If there is protection, I strongly urge anyone to respect that, regardless of their intended use of the material. Copy protection is there for a very good reason. Regardless of what one might be able to do, they should be 100% ethical, and honor any/all copy protection. This is true for material from a videographer, or from a commercial studio. Should you need to use the material in such a DVD-Video, you should contact the author to get first permission, and then the original source material, that has not undergone the MPEG-2 compression to DVD-Video.
Again, I assume that the OP knows that this is NOT an issue, and will not figure into the problem. In that case, all above does NOT apply in this case, but some other reader might make note of it.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Q Having trouble with shortcuts in illustrator( Please Help)

    I am having trouble with shortcuts when i exit the program and then try  and use shortcuts it wont work till i go back into edit  and shortcuts menu and click ok to the defaullt setting and i have to keep doing this???? Can  some one please helpme. I am very new to illustrator and i am trying to learn the shortcuts. Also im not very good with technical stuff so  please make answer simple if possible Thanks

    If you are saying that you use the default keyboard shortcuts list, and every time you open Illustrator you can't use any keyboard shortcuts, this must be a bug.
    I'd suggest changing one keyboard shortcut, or as many as you would like, and save it as a new list. Maybe it won't be bugged like the default list.
    If that doesn't work, my only other idea would be re-installing Illustrator. But wait to see what others say here, before trying to re-install.
    Good luck!

  • Having Problem with stuttering video. Please help!

    I haven't had a problem with viewing video online with my laptop until a few days ago. Now, all it will do is start to play, then freeze, play for a few seconds, then freeze, etc. etc. If I am on Hulu and pause the video to allow it to buffer, it will go good for a few minutes then start the same thing over again. I have done the same thing on CBS.com, but the results haven't been as good as on Hulu. I have noticed that it is considerably worse when the commercials start. I tried uninstalling my Flashplayer several times to no avail, and I even uninstalled my Antivirus and reinstalled that thinking that might be the problem. Tried right clicking on the player when it's in use and disableing the hardware accelerator in the settings, but that didn't help. I am about ready to pull my hair out!
    OS is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    Using Mozilla FireFox version3.6.8 and Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18928
    Have Adobe Flashplayer version 10.1.53.64
    antivirus is Avast! Free version 5.0.594
    If there is any other info needed, let me know!

  • HT6058 Having trouble with an IPhone 4 - Please help!

    Hello, All. I recently inherited an iPhone 4. I attempted to download an app and was told that I needed to update the software first. As there was a software update available, I installed it. Now, the phone won't work or restore. The screen is fixed on an image of the iTunes logo and picture of the iTunes USB. I have no idea what to do. Please help.

    The iPhone is in recovery mode. See this support document to continue. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Acrobat 6.0 Professional- Having Trouble with a Large Document-Please Help

    Using Acrobat 6.0 Professional.  Working with a large document (1400 pages, 25 megs).  I broke it into two parts to make it easier to work with.  However, even though the two parts are now 700 pages, they are each still 25 megs.  It appears that each document is retaining the full history of the document, perhaps as restore points.  How do I purge the history so the document is small and more manageable?

    I am not sure if version 6 can optimize PDF files but in version 9, you have to follow these instructions:
    Optimize a PDF
    Note: Optimizing a digitally signed document removes and invalidates the digital signatures. 
    Open the PDF Optimizer dialog box.
    To use the default settings, choose Standard from the Settings menu, and then skip to step 6. If you change any settings in the PDF Optimizer dialog box, the Settings menu automatically switches to Custom.
    From the Make Compatible With menu, choose Retain Existing to keep the current PDF version, or choose an Acrobat version. (The options available in panels vary depending on this choice.)
    Select the check box next to a panel (for example, Images, Fonts, Transparency), and then select options in that panel. To prevent all of the options in a panel from executing during optimization, deselect the check box for that panel.
    (Optional) To save your customized settings, click the Save button and name the settings. (To delete a saved setting, choose it in the Settings menu and click Delete.)
    When you are finished selecting options, click OK.
    In the Save Optimized As dialog box, click Save to overwrite the original PDF with the optimized PDF, or select a new name or location.To optimize several documents at the same time, use the Output options for the Batch Processing command.
    It is worth a try assuming you have this facility in version 6.
    Always backup the document before doing this.
    Good luck.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

  • Having trouble with the video function..

    I just purchased the 60GB ipod photo. I'm transferring music files easily. However, I'm having trouble with the video function. I've loaded Itunes 6, reloaded the original setup disk, and have loaded the latest updates for the unit. I can download movies from the itunes store and save them to my library, but I cant seem to transfer the video files to the ipod. Ive reinstalled itunes and the update 6 with no success. After syncing the ipod it only shows the music files even after all that Ive tried. Additionally, there is no evidence of the video function on the main menu after the update attempts. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm eager to get past this problem so that I can start tranfering personal movies and video files.

    You Have an iPod Photo, You do NOT have a 5th Generation Video iPod. Get it? You need the 5G model to play video.
    If the salesman told you it was the 5G model he lied, was ignorant or both. If video is important or if thats what you thought you were getting you will need to return your 4G iPod photo for new iPod.
    Rotsa Ruck!

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

    1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made.  As soon as you open the file and exit.  It prompts for a save.
    All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
    Using a table.
    the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
    2) Same file.   2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file. 
    Everything was working fine.  I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office. 
    File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  
    We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

    I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save. 
    Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away. 
    I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed. 
    It is fixed now.  By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh.  NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

  • Trying to export footage in h.264 but having trouble with heavy compression artefacts. Help please!

    Hey there,
    I'm trying to export my 10 min short from Premiere Pro in the h.264 codec for Vimeo and Youtube. The problem is, that every time I try to export it, there are some heavy compression artefacts in the exported file. Mostly pixelation and noise/colournoise. I have no clue where it comes from, as I even tried exporting a uncompressed avi and then importing this avi to export as H.264 again, nothing changed. The artefact occur on the same clips every time, and disappear during the duration of the clip as well, really weird!
    All help is much appreciated!!
    I uploaded the compressed video with the artefacts here: Heavy compression artefacts in Premiere Pro CC 2014 - YouTube a good example is at: 3:59
    Alternatively I could export in Final Cut Pro X, but I'm having trouble importing the AVI file, any suggestions??
    All the best Laurids

    Hey Flix,
    I'm currently not using the youtube preset, will try that in a minute.
    I'm also not using my previews to render, and exporting at target: 20 mb/s and max 25 mb/s
    This is a screenshot of my current settings:
    Framerate, fieldorder, aspect ratio aso. are mathed to source.

  • Having trouble with image processor...help please!

    HI there...First off I just bought a new iMac and haven't a clue what I'm doing so my problem could be related to that.  While I'm waiting for Adobe to transfer over my platform I downloaded the trial of CS5 Extended to get me started.  I'm having trouble with the image processor...I choose file/scripts/image processor...the dialog box comes up and I choose use open files and then try and choose the folder I want to save them in.  I choose my folder and hit run and it keeps telling me specify folder destination.  I can't for the life of me figure this out...what am I doing wrong?  It always worked fine for me on my PC and CS3.  I can't handle saving each image individually in the new folder...
    Thanks!!

    I haven't renamed anything as far as I know.  I made a new folder when I hit Folder option and it's highlighted as well as the path shows up in the processor box.  Just when I choose run it tells me to specify a folder.  The only thing I can think of is that maybe something messed up b/c I'm copied the files and folders over from my PC but it let me save as on the mac.  Also the folder I'm choosing to put them in is on the Mac harddrive.  IDK...
