Import problems FCP7 with MPEG-2 Video, MPEG Layer 2

Good afternoon everyone...
I have a file that is an MPEG-2 Video, MPEG Layer 2 with a .mpg Extenshion and I am having problems importing it into
FCP 7. I have tried MPEGStreamClip, Compressor and a low end product called Total Video Converter. In FCP 7 I tried media manager and Log and transfer, but FCP did not even recognize it.
THE PROBLEM IS that when ever I convert the video it has a lot of video noise.
When I convert the video, I use proven the following presets DVDPro/DV, DVCPro720, XDCamEX 720. (I have
not tried Pro Res yet)
Does anyone have expeirence with these kinds of Mpeg2 Transport or Mpeg2 Program streams? Are there any QT plug ins?
-M

Michael...
Mpeg Streamclip is my go to program...
In MpegStreamclip the video does not show up, just a white box so I moved to Apple Compressor and Total Video Converter. Apple Comp and Total Video Converter could play and convert the clip.
(Do I need a plug in for Streamclip?)
Below you will find the stream info:
Duration: 0:23:41
Data Size: 1.04 GB
Bit Rate: 6.26 Mbps
Video Tracks:
224 MPEG-2, 720 × 480, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 6.00 Mbps, 4:2:2(!), lower field first
Audio Tracks:
192 MP2 stereo, 48 kHz, 224 kbps
This appears to be a fairly robust formated file.
Let me Know if you need anything else to help.

Problems with imported mono audio with stereo HD video FCE4

This is with Final Cut Express 4.
So here is what I am doing: I am recording video of my flight lessons inside my airplane with a mounted Panasonic HDC-TM90 HD camera. Since it is noisy inside the plane, I am using an Olympus VN-4100PC digital voice recorder to pick up the Air Traffic Control and Intercom within the airplane (between me and my instructor) which is 22 KHZ mono. I am doing this because I want the sound of the airplane and also the communication so everything works together and you get the best of both worlds (otherwise you would hear one or the other and that's pretty boring). Ok, enough with the intro.
Here is what I am having problems with -- when I get the video, stereo audio with the video and the mono audio all lined up in FCE in my timeline, it starts to get out of sync about 10 minutes or so into the film. And it gets worse as the film goes on. This is driving me nuts and I have NO idea out to fix it.
The only thing I can think of is that my Digital Voice Recorder is recording at a slightly faster speed than the camera's audio and this is why it gets out of whack.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Or at least give me an explanation why it is happening?
Thanks for any help!!

Thanks for the reply. I did this and it still doesn't seem to be matching up properly. Tell me if maybe I missed something.
1. I took the original .WAV file from my Digital Recorder and imported it into iTunes and then converted it into an .AIFF.
2. I took the .AIFF file and imported it into MPEG Streamclip and exported it as another .AIFF file that was Stereo and 48kHz.
Is there a step I missed?

HELP -- panasonic MXF import to FCP7 with OSX/Lion???

Is there a Panasonic Plugin to import MXF material via the Log-n-Transfer within FCP7? Panasonic's site is AWFUL and I'm out of luck. Right now the L&T window sees the P2 material but is only showing AVC-Intra as a source format so it's ignoring the target compressor setting and defaulting to DVCPro HD 720p60 as a format.

If by "no problem" you mean that it imports and doesn't touch the source codec, frame rate, audio rate, or pixel aspect ratio then yes, I'd agree but the context of my question is based on previous experiences ingeting P2 material recorded with AVC-Intra which does allow for appropiate transcoding to a target codec, frame rate, and audio format based on the preference cog.
What's problematic is that the issue/oversight exists within Compressor too. I found a working solution of using Adobe Media Encoder which properly interepreted the frame rate and audio sync, whereas Compressor simply transcoded video only and didn't know how ot handle the frame rate issue that is so indicative of panasonic.
Not tryign to be snarky, just pointing out that Apple and Panasonic seem to have a complete disregard for a working solution to using MXF material recorded in something other than AVC-Intra.

Nikon D3300 NEF files not importing into iPhoto with Yosemite. Videos import, photos come in black

I'm having issues importing NEF (Raw) photos since I upgraded to Yosemite. I also updated iPhoto to the most current version. The videos will import, but the photos are coming in black. I can see them in the Nikon photo viewer on the Mac with no issues.

There are a series of posts on the forum right now detailing issues with Raw support. By no means all folks have them - I don't for instance - but many seem to.
Try the fix in this thread
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
which basically trashes the Raw support and reinstalls it on your Mac.
As always, back up first,

Premiere Pro CC import problem only with last .VOB file

When I import .VOB files from any DVD into Premiere Pro CC, the last .VOB always cut picture from both sides. When I click to see properties of the file (in Bin panel) it shows me that image size is 540 x 576 instead of 720 x 576. The video isn't shrunken but cut off. I got two black bars on both sides of the screen (in Premiere Pro CC). That wasn't happened with CS6 and now it happens always and only with last .VOB file. All other files from same VIDEO_TS folder are imported correctly. When I convert that last .VOB to .avi or any other format everything is OK. Any suggestions?

Yes it works, but I have no time to convert file every time I need something archived that way. I used that method years ago, and if I'm not wrong we are progressing a little Most of today options you have in Premiere 5 (maybe even in earlier versions; I'm using it from version 5.1) and it worked. So if you think like that, why we need version 7.2.1 ? Actually this is 14.2.1 version if you count from version 1 back in 1991.
It's not about to manage, it's about to have what you pay for, it's about to speed up the process.
Thank you anyway for your comment

Import Problem Lightroom with Vista

Hi,
i had installed Lightroom on my old notebook ( win xp ) and now on my
new ( win vista ) - thats fine...
but when i will import now photos into my picture folder ( c:\users\xxxx\pictures ) with replace order and pattern ( Year [YYYY] Month [Monthname]/Date [Date] - for example 2007/January/20 ) there prompts an
error message " cannon import one picture to the selected Folder ".
Temporarly i had an idea to import it to C:\photos then the Pattern - Order, but there is the same message failure. ( i took it with old pictures and new from the camera direct ).
Is there an workaround available, or must i wait for an patch ?
thanks
Alex

Problem working with avchd/.mts videos

I have to edit a video from several .mts clips. I don't know what camera was used for the shots. My problem is whenever I try to play them in either windows media player or gom player or bs player or splash (designed for HD videos), or edit them in After Effects, I get this strange screen tearing. I have tried to convert it into .mp4 (h264), but the problem persists. I uploaded it to youtube to test it out ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTfCP-o9RiY ), but the screen tearing occurs here also as you can see.
Does this mean that the footage is corrupt from the beginning and there is no way to fix it? The strange thing is that the guy who gave me these said he had these tearings also, but when another guy edited another video from these clips, it played without tearing, so it's not the camera's fault, it can be fixed. But if so, then how?

It is an unmodified clip without any conversion, it's what I got from my friend. It's avchd in an .mts container I believe. So the tearing is the fault of the recording and it is unrepairable? I will try to contact that guy, the problem is that I don't know him personally. Maybe he used clips which aren't tearing, and only some of the clips are corrupt like the one I uploaded, can that be the case?
Also, if needed, here is an unmodified, native copy of one of the problematic clips: 00134.MTS - Google Drive

Importing problems shooting with loaner Canon xha1

This week I used the Canon xha1 and it was a great experience but when I get home to import can't do it. I get the following error "The operation could not be completed as there is no video" in a pop-up screen. At the both of FCE it states Device must be in VTR mode when device control is enabled.
I don't know what to do because when I try to import the film from an HV 20 or the xha1 it plays in the LCD screen but it pops open the error message above. Is there a way for me to set it up the correct import. Please respond as soon as possible????

Make sure the output on the camera is set correctly. Are you outputting HD? Make sure that's what the camera is set to do and that's the device control you're using not the DV device control. These are all set in menus in the camera.

Problem with playing HD videos

Hello,
My problem is with playing HD videos ( 720p or Full HD).
After upgrading Windows on my laptop and installing drivers, everything was fine till i tried to solve the win 8.1 problem with display drivers and inability to change the level of brightness. After that I discovered that the laptop can't play videos in higher res when they are offline (they become choppy and start to lag behind audio), so i figured the problem is in codecs or the player because any video was playing online. I have tried different codec packs like K lite or FFdshow, tried many players also like VLC, Sm, BS, WM Classic...nothing helped. So i deleted all those players and codecs so now i cant play HD videos online either.
Also i have noticed that when i start any hd video CPU usage goes up to 95%.
Any suggestions what should i do next ?

Hi there @milosevarsen
I understand that you are having performance issues when watching videos. I am happy to help. Since your CPU usage is climbing to 95%, that is a part or symptom of the problem.
Work through this page. The main thing is to make sure you control what is running on your system and the amount of available memory. So you will want to look for viruses and malware, and then what other applications are loaded on your system. Over time these tend to accumulate, and slow down your computer.
Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8)
The other option would be to look at possibly upgrading your memory. When a file is much larger than the available memory, you are going to see the CPU running harder.
I hope this helps.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

Synching audio problem with MPEG-4 video in QuickTime

Hello,
I’m having a problem with MPEG-4 video file I created with TechSmith Camtasia (6.0.1).
Problem: The audio does not sync up with the video when played with Apple QuickTime 7.6 (latest build) in Windows Vista. The longer the video plays the more out of sync the audio is. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I play the file using Adobe Media Player or Adobe Flash Player (plug-in in Internet Explorer), the video and audio sync up and all is good.
Is there a problem with how Quicktime decompresses this type of file?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Thanks,
Leo

If I remember well, N70 plays mp4 video without problems. Try resizing during encoding to 176 x 144 and reducing frame rate to 15 frames per second. Also try to keep data rate below 200 kb/s. If you are using MediaCoder do not go with default settings for Nokia N70, they are too optimistic.

Problem with MPEG-4 video file in N70

I wanted to transfer MPEG-4 video files from my computer to my N70 phone. I put the files to the same place where others videos are, and when I tried to watch MPEG-4 video it complained that the phone can't repeat it.
I checked from nokia sites that my phone should actually repeat them with RealPlayer, but for some reason i cant watch the video, allthough all my other videos which i've taken with my phone are also MPEG-4. So is there anything i can do??
Sorry for my bad english. Im from Finland and 15 years old, so ...

MPEG-2 Video Linear PCM Timecode no longer working in FCP7

I edit daily with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on my MacBook Pro. I have several projects in which I imported files from an MR HD-100 hard drive. Not only did I successfully edit several projects, but I could open the individual files in QuickTime. They are 1280 x 720 MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode HD (1-1-1) files. Now suddenly they will not open. All I get is a white screen in Final Cut. Even the old finished projects I open in Final Cut show a white screen where this footage used to be. When I try to open one of the files in QuickTime I get the message, "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." I have not needed any type of conversion to make these files compatible before. They just worked. Any ideas as to why they suddenly won't work now?

I finally had time yesterday and today to tackle this problem. I read the link you sent and jedi knights had the solution if you had access to a mac still running 10.6.7 which I did not. So.....I bought a 32gb flash, intalled osx 10.6.3 from my disc, reinsalled QT7, did the 10.6.7 update, installed FCP7 so the codecs would load into QT and then transferred the one file (System/Library/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime Components) onto my laptop. ALL IS NOW RIGHT WITH THE WORLD!
Thank you for your help.
