Issue Importing .m2a file into Encore

Hello -
I'm having a problem importing m2a audio files into Adobe Encore to properly. I import an .m2v and its corresponding .m2a file, and then add them to a timeline. The video imports fine, but only the first second or two of audio appears in the timeline. I know it is a valid .m2a file, because its file size and the fact that it does play properly through QuickTime. But for some reason, Encore doesn't properly import the .m2a file, and I only end up with the first second or two of audio.
I encoded the audio and video using the Sorensen Squeeze... any ideas?
Thanks!
Scott

I strongly advise against using MPEG audio files in Encore.
Instead, use an uncompressed WAV or AIF file, and then let Encore transcode it to AC3, which is universally supported by all DVD players (some players can't playback MPA streams). Don't recompress the MPA to AC3 in Encore as MPEG-1 Level 2 compression in MPA is already lossy, and recompressing to AC3 will involve further lossy compression.
If you have a good AC3 encoder, you could also use an AC3 stream in Encore.
But avoid MPEG audio - if not for the reason of the trouble your seeing, then for player compatibility.

Issue importing flat files into SQL server 2008R2

I have csv files that the last column may not have data. SSIS (version 2008R2) will insert the next row's data into the empty cells, which causes my package to fail.
I know this is resolved in 2012 but we are using 2008R2 still. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi sqlBI2014,
After testing the issue that Flat File Connection Manager cannot handle file with uneven number of columns in each row in my SQL Server 2008 R2 environment, I can reproduce it.
Based on my research, the issue is caused by the Column Delimiter gets first preference and then Row delimiter. So the next row data would be inserted in the empty column cell. This is by design in SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2.
Good news is that the issue is fixed in SQL Server Data Tools which comes with SQL Server 2012. In SQL Server 2012, by default, the Flat File Connection Manager always checks for a row delimiter in unquoted data, and starts a new row when a row delimiter
is found. This enables the connection manager to correctly parse files with rows that are missing column fields.
If you still want to fix the issue in SQL Server 2008 R2, there is a sample component posted to the CodePlex that might help you with this:

How to import .vob files into Encore CS5?

I know Encore CS4 and 5 support the import of .VOB files but how is this achieved exactly? I've got a DVD that is not copy protected and I've tried Import as Asset and dragging the .VOB files to the project but neither works. What's the procedure please?

You do not.
You can Import 100% DVD-compliant VOB's into PrPro, as of CS4.2. That is what you will want to do.
The alternative method is to rip the MPEG-2 files from those VOB with other software, and then Import those into Encore.
A VOB is what Encore produces, not what it uses.
This ARTICLE will give you some background.
Good luck,

Issue importing a file into photoshop elements 11

I am new to Photoshop Elements 11. I am just playing around with it right now to get used to it since I've never worked with the program before. I am importing files from iphoto and it is working fine except for one thing. I imported a group of photos and while I was playing around in Elements (basically to get used to naming folders/albums/moving things around/etc) I deleted the folder I had imported, more or less to see what happens, and now when I try to import the same file into Elements again, it tells me that "the file selected to import did not contain supported file types or the files are already in this catalog." I cannot find these pictures anywhere within my catalog, so why will it not let me import them a second time? I have looked all over online for an answer to this and have come up empty handed. If someone knows how I can get this group of pictures into Elements, please let me know! I'd like to start practicing with the editing options but need these pictures in the program first. (I did also create an album from the file I imported, again to practice moving things around within Elements, and when I deleted the Folder the Album went away too.) I am still able to import other files from iphoto, it is just that this one particular file will not transfer....is it because I deleted it and now it somehow does not recognize the file??

Welcome to the forum.
As you have reposted to the Photoshop Elements Forum, where you will get quick and expert help, I will Lock this thread, and all discussion can take place in the Ps Elements Forum.
Good luck,
Hunt

Issues importing AVI files into iPhoto

Hi there,
I am trying to import the videos I've taken with my Olympus Digicam over the weekend into iPhoto but for the longer ones it doesn't work. When I select the movies to import it looks like it's doing it but then, after a while, iPhoto displays an error message stating the following:
The following file could not be imported. (The import failed.)
As already mentioned, the issues I have are with the AVI files, and they are pretty long movies...some up to 4 or 5 minutes I think.
Has anyone got an idea how I can get them to import and play in iPhoto?
Thanks heaps.
Nadine

Nadine
iPhoto will baulk at importing longer movies from a camera. The trick is to copy the movies to your desktop using the Finder (if your camera appears on the desktop) or Image Capture (in your apps folder) and then importing them to iPhoto.

I'm having issues importing raw files into LR 2.6.

Hi All.
So here's the issue. I have about 1300 images that I'd like to import into LR from my USB Exteral Hard Drive. In the past, I had no issues. but with this one, it seems that I'm limited. I tired to import all 1300 and nothing would happen when i hit import. So then I started to import half of that and it worked.. So I backed out and added in about 10 more.. worked fine, backed out and imported 10 more and it wouldn't work.
I have enough HD space, at least 30Gbs free. The folder size of the images is 11gbs. Is there a setting that limits the amount that I can upload?
Thanks soo much!

Thanks Hal for getting back to me..
Yes, that's what I did..
So I tried two things.. a different set of about 2k images.. raw files.. and it wouldn't work. So that ruled out a corrupt file in my current set.
I went back to the current batch where I was able to import file 1-1060 with no issues. I then chose files 1061-1300 and that worked fine. So that ruled out a corrupt file from 1-1300.
Is is possible to do Two separate import jobs so that i will be able to see all of them when I go to post process? I have never had to do two sep import jobs before so not sure if this is an option.
Thank you very much

Importing Photoshop files into premiere pro CS6 issues

Hi
I recently re-installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my work computer (i changed from a HDD to an SSD). Ever since I did this I am having an issue importing .PSD files into Premiere.
I try and import a photoshop file. The importer window comes up. The progress bar starts to move, then pauses and the Importer says 'Not Responding'. After a few seconds it comes back and throws up the following error:
Error message - 'The importer reported a generic error'
All projects i previously worked on that had .PSD files in them are now reporting these files as 'Media Offline' meaning I have to replace them with .PNG files which is really annoying.
Any ideas what might be happening? The files I am trying to import are RGB .PSD's. They worked previously without any issues.
I have Premiere Pro Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587))
running on a Windows 7 machine with Service Pack 1, 64 bit OS, 16GB Ram and Intel Core i7-2600
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude. It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips. Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting. Don't select the Transcode option.
Cheers,
Jeff

Has anyone been successful importing h.264 into Encore?

First, my system and goal:
A MacPro with 2.66mHz dual core and 12 gigs of RAM.
Multi Terrabytes of space.
I shoot on a Panasonic HVX-200, edit in Final Cut Pro and output Quicktime files as the basis for rendering to DVD and Blu-ray. I shot this stuff in 1080i. The camera codec is DVCPROHD and that is what I output to also.
I am trying to burn Blu-ray discs. I have an external Pioneer BDR-203 Blu-ray burner and it works fine.
I have done my tests and have decided that for Blu-ray, h.264 is far superior to mpeg2 in look and file size so I am sticking with it.
Here is the issue (and I have scoured this forum area and found no one discussing or solving this issue to date):
I have made hundreds of different DVDs with DVDStudioPro and am very familiar with it. Not to get off on a tangent but my beloved Apple has decided to betray me by not supporting Blu-ray (the ONLY way to output HD for us independents) so I studied up on Encore and have been using it to format my latest project to HD. The interface works pretty nice and even has some superiority to DVDSP but you have to have the patience of JOB to see your results. 5 Day (Remember. That's 24 Hour Days) Rendering is my tops so far. (OK. Full Disclosure... the documentary is 3 hours and 15 minutes long BUT DVDStudioPro took the same Quicktime files and crunched them down to mpeg2 for the DVD in about a day) Anyway about 6 days ago I had a 3 day render session that crapped out on me as it was finally recording to disc. For some reason it didn't like the BD-RE disc I had in the machine and just bagged the whole process. When I put in a new disc it just started rendering All Over Again. After that debacle I gave up on that method and now am rendering to BDMV folders which I then burn to disc using Toast. (While I am writing this my fingers are crossed that it will make it to the end - it's been another 3 days...)
I provide the details above to show why I am more than dismayed that I cannot figure any way to import h.264 files INTO Encore from another renderer. Either Compressor or Encoder render much faster than Encore. So I have tried render my project to a variety of output types from both Apple's Compressor and Adobe's Encoder with no joy any way I try.
(as a side note I am also dismayed that when I made a change to a MENU, Encore decided to encode The Whole Project Again rather than just the menu part...)
One of my latest file testing adventures was based on a theory that the problem has to do with DVCPROHD recording to 1280 x 1080 anamorphic rather than 1440 x 1080 (the "expected" frame size for 1080i). I fooled with that a half day but could not get either renderer to generate any test material from my FCP output that Encore would burn without re-rendering. By that I mean I cajoled and tricked Compressor and Encoder to output 1920 x 1080 files; 1440 x 1080 files and 1280 x 1080 files (all h.264) to see if Encore would recognize any of them without re-rendering them. No Luck.
So. Has anyone had success importing h.264 into CS4Encore from anywhere (but particularly using the same or similar gear I am using)? The Encore literature really doesn't give you much to go oon.
Lately I am very inclined to think the problem has something to do with this 1280 x 1080 DVCPROHD issue but I can't say for sure. I offer that as a suggestion if anyone else with a similar production stream is having the same problem and maybe it will trip a switch in their mind for a solution.
I like the Encore interface and design possibilities you have by swinging back and forth from PShop and After Effects but using Encore's renderer is like Chinese Water Torture.
Thanks for your help.

Brian,
I got your test file into Encore and got Encore to show its Blu-ray transcode status as "Don't Transcode".

How can I import a file into my Windows Phone 8.1RT App?

Hi All,
I'm running into a bit of an issue associating my app with a custom file type. Users create a file using my app and upload it to their OneDrive for sharing. So I then want to give the users the ability to download the file from a share link and
have that file open automatically in my app. I've got the appropriate declarations set and file type associations, but I'm getting a file access exception when I try to open the file. Whats the best way to import a file into my app? Here's
the code I've got so far:
protected override async void OnFileActivated(FileActivatedEventArgs args)
var path = args.Files[0].Path;
var name = args.Files[0].Name;
StorageFile newFile = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
await newFile.CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
The path comes back as
C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\microsoft.microsoftskydrive_8weke\LocalState\OpenWithTempFolder\e68c261-db3b-472d-a8b7-93427450\File Name.extension
and the exception is
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Clearly I'm trying to access the file in an inappropriate way, so what's the best way to get the file into my app's local storage?

You have the StorageFile in arg.Files[0] already. Just use that rather than getting its path and then trying to create a new StorageFile from it.
var path = args.Files[0].Path; // <= Path is unnecessary and unhelpful
var name = args.Files[0].Name;
await args.Files[0].CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
See my blog entry Skip the path: stick to the StorageFile for more details.

Importing video files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

I own a Sony Handycam DCR-SX63. When I import the movies I have taken onto my PC (Vista) they are .MPG files. When I import these files into Premiere Pro CS3 the video portion imports but the audio of that file does not. I have read all I can find and nothing seems to answer my question directly. I tried an encoder to see if maybe Premiere doesn't accept .MPG files. I converted it to .AVI file and tried to import and that gave me audio with no video. I tried opening the new project with a dozen different settings offered up by Premiere but every one I tried gave me the same outcome when I tried to import my video file.
Please. please. please help. I am pulling my hair out.
I appreciate any help given.
Thanks

Importing AAF files into Logic Pro 7.1

Hello All:
Have got a number of song sequences that are in the AAF format, complete with associated audio .aif sound files in the same folder.
These AAF files were created on another Logic pro studio, as they had to export them from Pro Tools into AAF .
i am able to IMPORT the sequence arrange with requisite tracks set up, but when the audio files attempt to load, i am prompted by the finder to MANUALLY locate each audio file to enable it to place into the Logic arrange page correctly.
I get the "where is the file"xxxxxB4Wrww.aif" type message, and can see the actual file located in the finder window, but it won't just locate them automatically.
It takes a loooong time to search out in the list each file and then click DONE to enter it!
Then repeat for EACH file name.....jeez.
One song has 78 audio files associated with it!
A local tech guy in a MAC software dealership said this was a continuing problem he had also with AAF in Logic 7.....
Any hints, before i spend 4 mind numbing hours hand-locating
these frikkin files?
Thank you in advance!

Mind you, I'm in transition right now moving to a different continent and my external drive is stored away so I'm playing and importing from my OS drive.Is that the issue??
Thanks,

Hi Francisco.
Please re-post this as a NEW question. I just went over my last few posts, and here you are, and NO ONE has answered your question in three days. That is not usually the case in this forum.
Cheers
PS please give some details, what actually happens with the mp3 files? what is the actual problem? And also, what sound card / interface are you using?
