Import Sony HDD video/audio problems

I have tried to import video footage from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR82 hard drive camcorder into Premiere Pro CS3, but it only imports the video...no audio. It works fine if I import it into Premiere Pro 2. Thanks for any help you can provide. OS - Windows Vista. All updates to Premiere CS3 have been installed.

Here's the original message I read with the fix:
There is a fix!!!!!
If you have Encore CS3 installed...just copy the file ad2ac3dec.dll from the Encore CS3 directory and paste it into the Premier Pro CS3 root directory. This will allo PPcs3 to accept mpeg files with the ac3 extention. If you already have files imported in your projects...you will have to remove those files and re-import them. So far there are no side effects to this process. Have fun all you damn sony camcoder owners.

It works brilliantly. Unfortunately, once you get that fixed you will find yourself with another problem...random red frames in your projects. We use SR-82s at work and I have a Sony SR-1. Both cameras' mpgs will give you the red frame problem in CS3.
As a workaround, you can convert your mpgs to avi or re-encode with h.264 codec before importing into CS3. That worked for me.

  • In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

  • Video audio problem when import to premiere CS4

    I have a file encode by flash media live encoder and I try to edit in premiere CS4 but when I import the file the video audio is not synchronised. The recorded file play run good in adobe media player. Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

    Going back a bit over a year, there was a thread on this forum, where the OP needed to use the Flash Live Recorder, as there were both streaming material from lectures and then edited material to go up on their intranet Web site for later viewing. That poster had similar issues with the live material, IIRC.
    I am certain that this thread was after the forum change over, so should still be on the servers. Wish that I could recall more details, but in the end, the OP found resolution to the problem. I know that I participated, but from the side lines. Seems that there was even footage of a rock performance involved in the feed and I edited the FLV material on my PrPro 2.0 with Moyea FLV Importer for Premiere plug-in. I'll look in my e-mail and YouSendIt account to see if I can find the poster's name (might not be his Adobe screen name), but a Search of this forum ought to turn up something. I'll also do a Search and maybe between us, we can find that thread, as there might be some useful tips in it.
    In the meantime, maybe this ARTICLE can help you edit the OOS issues.
    Good luck,

  • Video audio problems

    The problem I am having is that i capture my video/audio by fire wire using a PV-GS250 panasonic camcorder and a firepod that I record audio with. The problem comes in that it seems over time the two aren't sinced. I line up the to and match up the sounds. Say at 1 minute in. Then I go to 1 hour our and the audios are off from each others. I turned off auto save in premiere. Went in msconfig and turned off several things that where starting up. Both audios are 16 bit 48, one is mono and the other stereo. Using Windows Vista sp1. 4 gigs ram, 8700 video with 512 ram, processor intel core 2 xtreme x9000 @ 2.8ghz. I don't have any drop frames and can't find anything wrong. Help, thanks Dave..

    The problem is that audio device manufacturers, for some reason that I'm sure would be entirely illogical, can't seem to make devices that record at the same exact rate as DV cameras. I don't know why they can't do this. DV camera makers build cameras that keep sync with each other all the time. I can find no theoretical reason why audio device makers can't build recorders that also keep sync with DV cameras, except that they're just not trying.
    So it's not your fault, Dave. The only thing you can do is adjust the speed of the audio clip to match. With my equipment, the adjustment turns out to be 100.04%, so it's a very small shift. No one will ever notice any pitch difference.

  • Apple compatibility with Sony HDD Video

    I'm looking for video editing software to use on my Mac with a Sony HDD camcorder. (I want to transfer the video from the Sony Hard Drive to a DVD.) Can anyone help??

    Since this forum is for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, you should probably post your question in the Final Cut Pro/Express or the iMovie forums, as if anyone has used the camcorder you'll most likely find them there.

  • Importing Sony HD video to iMovie '08

    I am encountering issues importing HD video from my Sony HDR-SR11 camera on iMovie 7.1.4 using an iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.5). Prior to upgrading the OS, the import worked great on numerous occasions. Now for the majority of clips that I import I receive an error upon conclusion of the import process: "An Error Occurred During Import: There was a problem importing x of x clips from your camera. Please review the imported movies carefully." This seems to be the same issue encountered on this archived post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1794970), where there was no successful resolution. I do have the camera connected directly to the iMac via USB port. Has anyone been able to find a solution for this issue? I might upgrade to iLife '11 but I would prefer to hear definitively that this issue is resolved with the new software.
    Separately, but also perhaps as a workaround to above, can anyone provide guidance on how to take the native files from the Sony camera which I've backed up separately on my Mac, and directly convert these so that iMovie can use them as event files? I only seem to be able to do this using the direct camera import.
    Thanks!

  • Ipod 5th Generation Video Audio Problem

    well i have a couple of movies on my ipod. and when i play it for the first about 10-20 minutes the audio matches up with the video. But then after that the audio lags behind the video so i hear stuff almost 2 seconds after i see it happen on the screen. What could i do to fix this or at least just make the audio not so far off from the video? Thanks for the help

    Dear deggie, hi, thanks for the tip as to what I should be looking for in the slot. However, sadly, it all looks to be fine (well, at least the same as my other iPod).
    HR, thanks for the tip re opening the iPod, unfortunately, it is 15 months old, so well past the 12 month warranty expiry (ridiculous, isn't it?).
    Here in Australia, we don't have access to Genius Bars and Apple Stores, just the local distributors, and they want $210 to repair/replace the iPod, which, frankly I find a bit rich, considering that it hasn't been mistreated in any way and the other iPod I have has been running fine for more than two years.
    I get the feeling, judging by the many complaints on these forums regarding the problems that the gen 5 iPod being recognised and connecting to both Mac and Windows, that this cannot just be purely user error or maltreatment. However, I'm unsure as to what can be done to resolve them or get Apple to admit to there being a problem.
    One of the things that confuses me, is that all the internal diagnostics (menu + select then select + back) including USB communication, all come back fine, when, as mentioned in an above post, it most patently is not. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be due to?
    If, by some bizarre fluke, I manage to find a resolution to this problem (short of going and paying Apple $210), I'll post back here with it.
    Again, thanks for the help, cheers, Peter

  • Importing Sony DVDirect Video on DVD into FCE

    Hello...good wishes,
    I've been recording video from a Canon XL2 directly to DVD using a Sony VRD-VC20 DVDirect DVD Burner. When I try to import this video material into Final Cut Express, FCE does not recognize the format.
    Apple Support says that the XL2 Camcorder is a supported device in FCE, but is not able to be conclusive regarding video recorded to DVD using the Sony DVDirect Burner.
    The only way I've found to get any of this video into FCE is to play the DVD's in a standard DVD player' record the video back onto DV tape, and import them through the XL2. This is a daunting, funky proposition given the hours and hours of video I need to edit - and I worry about degradation of quality using this process.
    Are there any third party drivers written out there or do any of you have ideas how I can get this video from DVD to FCE?
    Thanks~

    I use a Sony VRD-VC20 to burn Tivo recordings and VHS tapes to DVD. I just picked up a program called Cinematize2. It's a DVD clip extractor that retails for about $50 US. It allows you to set an in and out point on a DVD and extract the clip into a format compatible with FCP/FCE. Previously I used MPEG Streamclip 1.3.1 which allows you to export mpeg2 files to Quicktime, AVI, or DV format for use in FCP/FCE. Mpeg Streamclip also allows you to set in and out points before exporting. The link to download MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 is: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html.
    In order to use the MPEG2 playback and converter feature you will also need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You can buy it from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2) for about $30 US. If you have either Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro, then the component is already installed and you don't have to buy it; but you may need to download the latest version from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/download).

  • IPod Video/Audio problems

    i have a 60gb video ipod and have converted seinfeld episodes off dvds. i used videora ipod converter to convert the video to H264 256kbps video and 96kbps audio. When i play any episode the video and audio will work for about 30 seconds, then it pauses fills the cache and the video starts playing again but without audio. if i fastforward or rewind the video and audio pick up again for 30 seconds until the process repeats. how do i fix this ANNOYING problem? thanks
      Windows XP Pro  

    I have just encountered the very same problem. I have a 60Gb iPod video and have spent days converting a lot of my videos (mostly Japanese Anime) to iPod. They all worked perfectly on last week. However, last night I started watching an episode and after about 30 seconds the video freezes. It starts again about 5 seconds later, but with no sound. If I rewind or fast forward a bit, the sound comes back, but it freezes again shortly after. I started to think "what have I done to the iPod since last week?". It was then that I remembered updating the firmware to 1.1. I put 2 and 2 together and thought "maybe other folk are having this problem too", so I decided to check the support page here.
    I am far from happy about re-encoding over 250 episodes of Anime, so ideally, I want the ability to re-install 1.0 firmware on the iPod. Surely this must be possible! If anyone can provide a link to the 1.0 Updater or to more information on this subject... that would be great, cos right now, my iPod is pretty much... useless!
    Thanks

  • Ichat video/audio problem NetGear W6R64

    hooking up without router... everything works... I know how to get into the netgear set-up... I know how to get to the Mac network/firewall setting... I just need the settings for the mac and the router... it has UPnP...

    This issue is something Apple should solve and have it done with. Skype works fine both in video and audio mode regardless of what firewall/router/modem/network configuration one has set up. I have had the same problem with iChat AV when both audio and video connections cannot be established if I do not open all ports (basically enable DMZ (demilitarised zone) on my Linsys modem/router) for the local IP of the Mac I want to use iChat with. This highly annoying particularly if one uses more than one Mac for iChat. You can fiddle with openning ports as much as you like. If you have a stubborn modem it will be useless. When Skype people could do it, Apple should already have done it long time ago.

  • Strange Sony VDU file audio problem

    Files are in Hard Disk Portable Sony DSR-DU1 registered from a Sony DSR-PD170 in 16:9 format
    Before to entry in Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 I can see correctly all my files in QuickTime Player
    When I open Log and Transfer window I can see all my 16:9 files in 4:3 aspect ratio and the audio is correct
    After the logging I put my files in timeline and the audio of every clip glitches so is unusable
    Please help me I need to work with the PD170-DU1 setup
    Thanks, Maurizio

    One similar, potential problem, that can develop, is when the Conforming process is interrupted, before it completes 100%.
    A quick way to rule that out, would be to navigate to the Media Cache files, and Delete the CFA and PEK (Waveform Display) for that Clip, outside of Premiere Pro. Then, when you launch PrPro and Open your Project, the program will recreate both of those files. There is a little progress bar, that many do not notice. Let it complete 100%, before even touching the computer. Test.
    I hope that it is as simple as that.
    Good luck,

  • Video audio problem

    I have been having trouble with the videos I have stored in iTunes. In itially, there was a problem with the image, but having searched the forums I was able to resolve the problem by deactivating the DivX option in Quicktime. However, now some (not all) of the files are playing in a foreign language - this did not use to be the case. I cannot seem to find a solution to this particular problem, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there that might know of one?
    Thanks

    If you are not using RealPlayer then what program or plugin are you using?  WMP?  If you are using WMP then go to Tools, Options and then the Performance TAB.  You will see a setting for buffering content.
    That pausing with a circle is showing that the program is waiting for the sound buffer to fill again.

  • IChat video/audio problems error 8

    Hi Guys,
    I have posted this on a different thread, but thought I would post it here also as is Leopard specific.
    Both my Girlfriend and I bought Macs in the last 3 months and both have Leopard and the new iChat. Or current setting are below after reading a few threads, but still no avail!!
    Our MacBook settings
    QT is set at 1.5Mbps
    iChat Bandwidth Limit = None
    iChat Server = 443 with SSL ticked
    Leopard Firewall = Set access for specific = iChat = Allow incoming connections
    I have had the video working before with other friends but it seems to be finding it difficult with hers. I asked what router she was using, and to be honest it sounds pretty prehistoric...details below
    Scientific Atlanta by CISCO, EPC2100R2 CABLE MODEM
    Her ISP is Virgin
    I dont believe this is a firewall issue, as I hear the new Leopard is pretty advanced with this, and we both have it as a specific application in our Firewalls settings.
    I dont believe this is a port problem as apparently as Leopard figures this information for you, and you are unable to add/open ports behind the firewall etc.
    I have posted this before and apologies for posting the same error again. Its good to see Im not the only person having issues.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Can you tell us more about the Virgin device ?

  • SONY HDD Video CAM Software in-compatibility w/MacBook

    I've just purchased a SONY hard drive video camera(DCR- SR60). It came with software that is not compatible with my MacBook. The handbook suggestion is to purchase Mac compliant Pixela software: Capty MPEG Edit EX (video editing software) and Capty DVD/VCD 2(DVD authoring software).
    I've not seen much good press on Pixela. Anyone got a better idea or a comment on the suggested software.

    As Troy mentions, iMovie and iDVD are included with your Mac and much easier and more powerful than they are given credit for. Try them.
    There are also support forums for those apps should you need them. iMovie is used to create to movie and that forum is found HERE. iDVD is use to create the menus and put that movie into a DVD format, then burn it to disk and that forum can be found HERE.
