MPEG-1 import & No Audio--Options???

I just switched to Apple from Windows, and am trying to use iMovieHD to work with video I take with my Sony camera. The camera takes the video in MPEG-1 format, and I see a FAQ comment to explain what I experience: iMovie won't import the audio with this format. What options do I have to edit these video clips with audio? One big reason I went with Apple was for the iLife package, and not to be able to work with my video clips effectively is a BIG problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips, but this is exactly the sort of multi-step, find-a-way-to-make-it-work with obscure, home-made 3rd party software nonsense for which Windows catches such crap. MPEG-1 is a mainstream video format that Sony, at least, uses on all its digital cameras, to my knowledge. Apple shoud support it, or offer clear warnings to people that an entire camera line is unusuable with its supposedly user-friendly iLife suite. I'm glad I haven't sold my much high-end Windows laptop yet--I'm going to rescosider this switch, as I refused to clutter my computer with junk soiftware that works half-assed when avoiding it was the purposde of buying the Apple in the first place; if I'm going to deal with this process, I might as well do it with my 3.2 Gz Windows laptop!!!

Premiere 7.2.2 not importing all audio channels of mpeg-ts

I'm trying to work on an MPEG-TS, but Premiere is only importing the audio related to the first PID. There are 6 PIDs in this file, each with two channels of audio, for 12 channels total. But Premiere only sees the first two. If I open the file up in Telestream Switch I see all 12 channels. MediaInfo output is below, any thoughts? Is this a bug in Premiere? An import setting I've missed?

Not certain about HDV but using DV it used to work something like this ...
- Log the clip then do your capture of the video and Ch 1+2
- In the Log and Capture window select the Clip Settings Tab
Set Capture to AUDIO ONLY and the AUDIO FORMAT to Ch 3 + Ch 4
- Right clic on the clip in the Browser and Select 'Batch Capture'.
- in the Batch Capture dialog box, uncheck 'Use Logged Clip Settings'
click ok and away you go.
in the fwiw catagory, on some cameras, in order to hold 4 channels of audio it will be recorded in 32k/12bit format. It will not be happy in FCP. You may want to up rez it to 48k/16bit in Quicktime before using it. But you probably knew that.
good luck.

Premiere CC won't import AAC audio

I'm trying to loop two videos together in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. One of the videos won't import the audio, just the video track. The audio is in AAC format, the video is a MPEG-4 movie with H.264 format. Every other video I've tried imports as usual, but for some reason the audio drops off on this one. The video plays just fine in Quicktime with the audio track. When I import it, the audio track drops off and only the video track shows up.
I didn't create the video, so I don't have access to the original working files. Anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this?
Thanks!

Hi Neila,

Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
Sorry my info didn't help.
Two things to try.
Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
Let us know what happens.

.AVI video not importing correctly. Imports as audio only.

System: window vista 64 bit
Project type: whatever the standard new project is at the startup screen
Problem: I am importing .avi video files and they are importing as audio only. it will not allow me to drag them into the video slot on the timeframe, and it displays only the speaker symbol in the media management area. Here's the funny bit. I used these files previously in another session June-July 2009, and they worked fine then. I am lost and need assistance!(PLEASE!!)
Stumped Like a Chump

If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

How do I import stereo audio as pan centered, "Dual Mono?"

Greetings,
For most of my video recording, I’m running two wireless mics and am recording in stereo.
90% of the time, I’m working with one track or the other and, because I’m cutting for broadcast news, the pan for the audio needs to be centered.
Is there a way to import the audio I recorded in stereo as Dual Mono with the pan for each channel center?
It’s a pain to have to go through each clip and make it Dual Mono and then chose Pan Mod Default to center it.
I bring in my video as indiviaual clips so I can’t select a single clip in the Event Panel and make my changes for the whole project.
Regards,
Steve

Select the clips in the event, and set the audio as [Dual] Mono!
There is, as I remember, no option for this during import - but you can select multiple clips and set it on all at once.

Unable to+decode+or+import+selected+audio

Looking for a solution. I am running windows 7, adobe captivate 4. I have attempted to convert text to speech, I get the error unable to+decode+or+import+selected+audio. I have gone to the supplied library same error. I have taken a mp3, changed it to 16 bit rate, made the file very small same error. I am running out of options. I have also reinstalled captivate. I also have CS5 running on the machine. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Re-install the Neo-speech installer and try the workflow.

MPG video file importing as audio HELP!!!

MPG video file importing as audio HELP!!!
I am using Premiere pro CS5 trial version. The videos I have are in .mpg format and play fine in other programs. When I import them into Premiere they are importing as audio files.
I have a week to get this project done for uni and Im freaking out! It worked on the uni computer before christmas but isnt working here, its the same program and same operating system (windows 7).
What am I doing wrong!!!?

You are doing nothing wrong. The trial version does not support MPEG. The full-paid version has no such limitations, and also comes with a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a refund.
The limitations of the trial version are HERE.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
Also if you have imported them then this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.

Mac Mini HTPC Audio Options?

I'm going to convert my Mini (early 2009) into a home theater PC. I need to know what audio options I have for getting 5.1 sound out of it.
I'm a little confused about the audio out jack. Is this jack a standard stereo headphone jack, or is it a digital audio jack?
What other options are there? I do see an external solution from Sound Blaster (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi External USB – 5.1). I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this under Snow Leopard?

the TOSlink cable will fit the bill on those models, but I STRONGLY urge you to get a right angle plug on the TOSlink cable, if not, you will have about an 1 1/2-2" of cable sticking out the back of your Mac..it is a little heavy for the 3.5mm plug adapter to hold it in. The right angle plug can easily rest on the video cable and you don't have to worry about the cable sticking out the back.

Import from Repository option not working - OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2

Hello,
We are currently running on OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2. We would like to merge Two Repositories. Well, in addition to "Merge" option we have, we were trying *"Import from Repository"* option but in vain. It is showing the following error:
*[nQsError: 12033] A client tried to connect to a server that is not of the right type*
I understand this option is of low precedence from Oracle and its support. But, just want to know if anyone have used this option and encountered this error. If so, any workaround u wanna suggest. I appreciate any support.
Thanks.

No import from audio cd

itunes - latest version 7.1.1 - freezes on import of audio files from cd, does not matter whether original new cd's or self burned. have to exit with force quit,
when I then try to copy an audio file from the cd via drag-and-drop to the computer, I receive an error message, error -36, telling me that there is aproblem in reading the file.
deleted all itunes preferences in the library folder, did not change anything
then repaired permissions on the volume, great, could import one cd, on the second itunes freezes again.
needed to repair permissions again, great, can import another cd
so now I have to repair permissions every time I want to import audio files
I have no problems importing mp3 files
anybody here, who knows how to fix this annoying problem?
G4 titanium power book Mac OS X (10.4.9)

does itunes make use of other programs in reading
cd's, would it make sense to delete preferences of
such progs?
It doesn't look like that's the case. It appears to all be handled by threads inside iTunes. So I don't think you'd be able to find the preferences to delete.
one more thing, the problem of not being able to copy
audiofiles from cd to hd only occurs when I have
tried to import the cd into itunes, fresh inserted cd
will allow to copy audio files, but once I have tried
itunes, it is no longer possible, so obviously itunes
screws up something.
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that there's a bug in the CD/DVD drive on those machines, or a bug in the driver for that hardware and iTunes causes the problem to show up. If you know someone with an external USB or Firewire drive, you might try borrowing it and see if it works.
You could also try this software:
http://www.sbooth.org/Max/
and see if it behaves any differently. Maybe it accesses the audio in a different way.
I have no idea why it was fine with the old HD, but it doesn't work with the new one. Perhaps it's a question of how some part of the OS gets loaded into RAM because the 120GB drive needs more RAM or something. But that's just another wild guess.

Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
Mac Pro:
1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
ATI Radeon HD 5770
Sequence:
30Fps
1920x1080
Media:
mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
Issue:
After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down. Choppy video playback as well. The problem is very annoying but it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
Things to note:
Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
Temp. Solution:
The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer. Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.
