Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
Here are my computer specs
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
Intel Core2 Quad q8200
ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
Gigabyte Motherboard
4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Keith,
The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
Good luck,
Hunt
* Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

I purchased an adapter for playing videos from my ipod touch on my tv. It works fine for episodes I have purchased from Itunes, but won't play videos from Hulu Plus. What should I do to remedy the situation? Thank you!

The iPod TV out only works for aps that support TV out. The description of Hulu Plus only states that iiPad supports HDMI video out (SD only)

Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
definitely NOT legit.
As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

Help! Ipod 1.3 won't play video podcasts on Ipod Video

Help! I just upgraded to Ipod version 1.3 on my Ipod 5th generation video Ipod. The upgrade downloaded and loaded fine and the Ipod rebooted and connected to Itunes. Itunes updated some new video podcasts and I got an error message the the videos from "The New Yorker Animated Cartoons." Neither the 3/13/08 or 3/14/08 podcasts would work and gave ther error that the video would not play on my Ipod. I next tried reloading the 3/7/08 video which used to work on my Ipod and it failed as well. I'm afraid that many other podcasts may fail as they get downloaded.
It seems likely that this is a problem with the 1.3 firmware. Can I get some help to get things working?
Thanks
Ken West

I don't know if this link, from Apple, will solve your problems but at least for now, I am able to see the video in podcasts. The second to the last sentence was what helped me. Good luck. Fujishu
FROM THE APPLE LINK: problem--iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows
Last Modified on: January 26, 2007
Article: 302828
If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.

Problem with video playback on Ipod

I am having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I was given a 30GB Ipod for my birthday. I am running Windows Vista on a 3GHZ machine with 3GB of ram. I downloaded and installed the latest Itunes and Quicktime. I have no problem syncing all my music files, those synced and play properly. When I had Itunes convert some videos I had and sync them, the Ipod does not playback the video correctly. I get about 1 frame every 5-10 seconds. The audio on the video is fine and sounds normal, just the video is freezing. I loaded itunes on my XP notebook and converted and synced the exact same video and it plays great on the ipod. It appears that itunes is corrupting the video during the conversion on my Vista machine. Has anyone else ran into this and if so what is the fix?? I called support and the gentleman told me he had heard of the problem before but said their database was down and he could not access the article. He was supposed to email me the article but I never received it. Thanks for your help in advance.
Gary

Just an update, I think I may have found the problem, but not a permanent fix. I failed to mention I am running a raid striped array. I tried inserting a 2gb usb drive with my video file into the computer. I then went into itunes and changed the itunes directory to the USB drive. I then proceeded to have Itunes convert the file for ipod, synced the file and then it played properly on the ipod. I do not have a external drive large enough to hold all my videos. It is either a problem with the raid array or the fact the files are on the boot drive. Anyone have a fix so I can you my computers hard drives??????????
Gary
P.S. Support still has not emailed me the article they were suppose to send. I have 7 days to return the ipod and if I do not get a answer back by then I guess I will return it for something else.

Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

Can´t play video in my iPod

I didn´t find anything about my problem in any other topic.
I´ve bought an iPod video. I can put music, photos and postcasts on it using iTunes, but the video doesn´t work.
I´ve read that the correct video format is mp4. I downloaded a program called "Videora iPod Converter" that turns any kind of video into a mp4 file.
So, i´ve created a video called "siimpsons16x6.mp4" from a video file with ".avi" extension. I can play the new video in the Quicktime or with iTunes. But when I put the video in the iPod, although there is no error, something is wrong. I disconnect the iPod, but i can´t find any video file in it.
Can anybody help me? How put your own videos into the iPod?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english...

Your english is great, welcome to discussions.
You might have better luck on the 5th generation video iPod discussions. I don't have one, so no advice other than check over there

Need help on playing videos on 80 Gb I Pod Classic

Hi,
I need help!!!!!!!!!!!
My I Pod Classic 80 GB jus wont play any video files.
I have set it to manually sync songs and videos using iTunes.
I dont have a problem with any of the music files.
The video files just would'nt play.
The video files are in the .mov format and play both in my quick time player and in i tunes.
However, when I try to add the videos to the iPod, it displays the following error message
"MC_1 was not copied to the iPod 'ar iPod' because it cannot be played on this iPod"
This ipod is new and since i brought it it this is the first time am adding videos to the iPod.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I have also tried automatic sync from itunes and also reset iPod to the factory settings.

Hi Ar_08. It is probably a problem with video format. Make sure you are using a compatable format. What extension does the filehave on it. Check this link - http://support.apple.com/specs/ipod/iPod_classic.html . It will give you information about video and audio format. Good luck.

Is there a way to play video on the iPod Photo with color display 60 GB?

Just curious. Can you download and play video with this model? It does about everything else. Any help that someone can offer me will be appreciated.

eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) It's white. My life is on it. Enough said.

You can only play video's with the new 5th generation iPods.
Maybe the iSee (http://www.isee-ato.com/) is a good alternative for you?

Can't play video on my ipod 5gen?

Ok so yesterday I finally bought an apple ipod 5 gen 30G and was expecting to come home and simply upload videos and downloaded movies to it the same way as with songs. only problem is, It took me a while to figuire out how exactly to import My Fan made Movies into itunes, I used Videora iPod Converter. I converted my Fan made movies. It showed up and played fine in itunes but when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio!!
Now I got this ipod to play both audio & video but it's really starting to **** me off, thats where GT comes in.
Is there anyway to play fan made movies (created in windows movie maker) and downloaded full lengh movies (not from the itunes store but from torrents) on my ipod 5 gen????
And is it supossed to take a really long time to convert say a 50MB file? Im really confused.
Thanks-
MRBee
Edit: I just tried to sync the video to my ipod again and it said; ipod cannot play this file........WHAT?
Windows XP

"when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio"
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
Btw, I would recommend something other than Videora. Try Streamclip.
