Import M2V and AC3 Error

I have downloaded the trial of Adobe Production Premium CS5 and am having a little trouble with Premiere Pro. This is a clean install, no other version has ever been installed on this system. It looks like both M2V and AC3 files are supported by Premiere, yet when I try to import them I get the following error: The file has an unsupported compression type. So how do I import these files? Any help is appreciated.

CS5 has made a major, and much welcomed departure - one no longer needs to remove and run Adobe Clean Scrip. The S/N from the full-paid version will convert the program. While all is not perfect with Adobe, this is a wonderful change!
Good luck,
Hunt

Lost my m2v and ac3 files and want to recosntruct from a final DVD

I lost the compressed files m2v and wav that I used to generate a menu driven DVD at the time I was using a Windows based PC (I used Pinnacle Impression with a menu to generate the final DVD.
Now I no longer use this PC and made the big step to the Mac world in buying a MacPro with FinaCutPro and DVD STudio Pro. The only thing I have left is the final DVD with its usual contents (VOB files).
Is it possible to find a way to import the VOB files (with the sound) into DVD Studio Pro, split it by Chapter and re-create a brand new menu ? Or using Compressor or FCP in intermediate steps before using DVD Studio Pro ?

You can use * MPEG Streamclip * to extract the original m2v and ac3 files from the VOB file without any quality loose, and use such files in a new DVDSP project. You'll have to rebuild your menus and navigation.
Hope that helps !

How to Add .m2v and .ac3 files in encore?

I am doing my HD post in FCP and creating .m2v and .ac3 files using compressor. I would like to burn my DVDs in encore to try out blu-ray DVDs. How do I add separate .ac3 and .m2v files in encore?
Thanks

They get created as separate files originally. Just Import both and add each to the timeline.

M2v and AC3 dont Merge in Toast

Hello maybe i was wondering why doesnt Toast Joins the M2v and AC3 files sometimes when i'm trying to burn them, i mean all this these years i have been joining them as usual but since some months ago sometimes i just add the Video file and doesnt ask me for the audio, i said sometimes because there are times when it doesnt ask to merge them and some other times it does, i dont know but i dont feel very confortable with Toast not asking me to join them.
Thanks for any assitance

Are you seeing a shift in duration to g with the sync shift? maybe try a test encode in Compressor to see if Cinemacraft is changing the duration of your video. I use compressor for both mpeg and ac3 encodes, and nenver see this type of shift.

Re-burn a DVD from .m2v and .ac3 files

Can someone explain to me if one can re-burn a DVD from Compressor after you've created the .m2v (mpeg-2) and .AC3 (dolby audio) files?
Here is my problem. I create a DVD with Compressor and have both the .m2v and .ac3 files on my drive. I'd like to save these and not have to re-compress the original ProRes file all over again and just burn these again to another DVD in the future.
How do you do that? Do you need another program to do this?
Any help appreciated!

No. Compressor can't use the elementary streams to build a DVD.
To burn multiple DVDs, save to a disk image (Output Device = Hard Drive) and burn that from that in Disk Utility.

How to directly burn .m2v and .ac3 files on a DVD?

I made a DVD movie processing on Compressor but I forgot to select the "Job Action" (Create DVD), so now I have the 2 files .m2v and .ac3 but I have to burn the DVD. How can I do without re-processing the original movie?
Thanks

If you have Toast or DVD Studio you can use these files. If not, you'll may need to re-encode the movie.
But try this if you saved the the Compressor project that made those elementary streams. Reopen it and slightly change the name of the output files (say, by adding a numeric prefix to each name). When you do the yellow warning triangle should go away. Change the job action to burn DVD and submit, If it works, you should get a near-complete progress bar in a matter of seconds. Then you should be able to burn your physical disk or make a disk image for multiple copies.
Good luck.

How do I create a DVD from existing M2V and AC3 files?

I have previously used Compressor 4 to render a M2V file and an AC3 file from which I burned a DVD 'job'. Now, a week later, I wish to go back and burn another DVD from these files, (without rendering them again). How do I use these EXISTING files to create another DVD (using Compressor 4)?
Thanks,
Geoff

If you anticipate that you may need multiple disks, the way to do it is to select Hard Drive as your output device/ That makes a disk image, from which you can burn multiple copies.
WIth the separate files already created, you could bring them into an authoring program like Toast. But if you want to re-use them in Compressor, I think your only option is to multiplex them in something like MPEG STreamclip and bring the new file back into Compressor.
Probably easier to redo the Compressor job with the original source.

.m2v and .ac3 submision come out different lengths

Twice, the .m2v file is short of the original file by about 10%, while the .ac3 is the full length. Any ideas on why?

This happened to me yesterday.
DVD SP told me they were off - by about 10%.
However, once dropped into the track, they lined up just fine. Not sure what's going on...
I did also notice that my MPEG-2 (120minutes) took forever to import into DVDSP. Anyone else having this problem since upgrading to FCS2?

Best way to burn m2v and ac3 files to DVD

I recently compressed an exported final cut movie into DVD files - an ac3 audio file and an m2v video file.
I used Toast to burn them to a DVD but it did not finish correctly. I can hear the audio, but there is no video on the disc...just some graphic.
What is the best app to use to burn these files to a DVD? DVD Studio Pro? I don't need a menu, all I need is for the disc to play when it's inserted. I find that DVDSP is somewhat complex for burning a simple DVD.
I am going to try doing everything in Toast this time, but I've read that Toast is slow when it comes to encoding. Compressor was able to encode my 1hr 40min video in under 30 minutes....

My guess is that you added the .ac3 file directly to Toast and ended up with a Toast music DVD. The setting to use in Toast is DVD video in the Video window. Add only the .m2v file. Toast automatically adds the matching .ac3 file if it has the same name except for the extension and is in the same folder. If Toast can't find the audio it asks you to locate it.
You can choose Save as Disc Image and then mount the disc image for preview in DVD Player. If all is good burn the disc image to DVD using the Image File setting in the Copy window.

Can't import m2v to DVDSP4 but ac3 is ok...

I made a movie on FCP 5.1 filmed in HDV 1080i60. When I got ready to put it to DVD, I used Compressor and chose the MPEG - 2 and AC3 formats. I chose the 1080i (HDV res) option under Video format, thinking that since I made a 1080i video, this should follow. After the long conversion process, I imported the now m2v and ac3 files to DVD Studio Pro 4. The AC3 could import but not the m2v, with the error Import Assets, Incompatible Format.

Correct, the HD DVD option in DVDSP creates a next-gen HD DVD that is playable only in G5s and Intel machines and select HD DVD players. They will not play in an SD player.
In Compressor, I'd choose the DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes - 16:9 option which will preserve the aspect ratio of your HDV footage.
You'll need to recreate your DVDSP project in order to make an SD DVD. Once you switch the project to HD DVD, you cannot change it back to SD DVD.

How to Combine an .m2v and and an .AC3 into one QT.mov file

A few years ago I converted a .mov file into an .m2v and an .AC3 using Compressor 1.2 (that was for DVD Studio Pro 3.0). I lost the .mov and now need to combine the two files into one QT .mov file. How can I do that please?
I have QT 7.1 3 in OS 10.3.9 and also the QT that came with OS 10.5.8 (I can run either OSs.) (I know that the combined file will be of poorer quality compared to the original .mov). I have Aimersoft Total Media Converter 2.0.4 which can convert video from one form to another, but it can't combine (at least I don't think so).

I lost the .mov and now need to combine the two files into one QT .mov file. How can I do that please?
If you don't have software to do this directly, basically you would have only two other options. The first would be to mux the M2V and AC3 files and then convert the "muxed" file using a compatible converter. The second, would be to convert the audio and video files separately and merge the converted files in a video editor, QT Pro, GarageBand, or a similar application.

Importing Video with AC3 encoding

Hi,
I am completely new to FCE 4.0. For years, I've been using my Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD403) to capture my raw footage. The camcorder an onboard Dolby Digital AC3 encoder which I use all the time. I import the video to my PC since using the Sony Picture Perfect software to preserve the AC3 encoding. However, when I import it into FCE 4.0, the video plays fine but I get now audio whatsoever.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Randy

Thanks for the tip. I ended up using the MPEG Streamclip function "DEMUX to M2V and AC3" to divide the original video file into a discrete video (.m2v) and audio (.ac3) file. I then imported into FCE 4. I was not sure how to load the two files into the Preview window, so I instead chose to drag each file separately into the Sequence window. To get all 6 audio channels I had to add 2 more audio channels prior to loading. FCE requires that you render the entire clip first after completing the render, I was able to replay the clip with full 6 channel Dolby Digital.
There is still one thing that I cannot figure out. Which audio channel corresponds to its respective audio output (ie. A1 = Front Left, A2 = Right Left, A3 = Centre, ...).
Anyone know the answer?
Thanks,
Randy

??? I just installed Lightroom 5 from Amazon for my Mac with 10.10.1 software. When I open it I get: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". It won't import photos and has no side panels under Library. What should I do?

I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.

Export and Import of master repository - error snpuser not found

We had installed ODI on a windows server and created physicla and logical topologies etc and developed some models and projects.
But we had sone all of this while still pointing to the demo master repository using the HypersonicSQL. This means we always have to have the 'Start Demo Agent' running etc.
So we wanted to move to an Oracle based master repository. I have used the 'Create Master Repository' function to create a new repository using ORacle thinnet driver and this is all OK and I can sign in to the SUPERVISOR user.
But when I export our existing repository from the 'HypersonocSQL' demo one to a ZIP file and then use the 'Import Master Repository' to create a master repository in the Oracle using thinnet driver etc - firstly it removes the repository details that I originally created - fair enough - then creates it all again but from the ZIP file.
The SNP_ tables all exist in the oracle database user and I can see that in SNP_USER there is the record for SUPERVISOR etc.
But when I try to sign in to this through topology manager or security manager - as SUPERVISOR I immediately get the error 'SNPUser does not exist'
Am I doing something wrong with exporting my 'demo' master repository and trying to import it in to the new Oracle repository ?

thanks - but that is effectivley what I did - used the repository import from my exported ZIP file - and it all imported OK - but the error on login to topology manager afterwards is that the snp user does not exist.
Although I initially used the 'Master Repository Creation' I then adaondoned this - dropped and recreated my Oracle user 'snpm' that owns the master repository and used the import repository approach.
I am trying to sign in as the standard SUPERVISOR user (that existed OK in the Hypersonic master repository that was exported to the ZIP file) and also trying other users that I know existed in the Hypersonic reporitory that I exported - same problem. I can see in Oracle SQL*Plus that in the SNP_USERS table the SUPERVISOR user exists.
If I do instead carry out a standard 'Create Master Repository' and do NOT try to import anything then it works OK and I can sign in to the Topology Manager as SUPERVISOR.
