Compressor MPEG and AVI

about 6 months ago when I was shopping for an edit system a big thing I noticed was that apple advertised for a third party plugin that allowed compressor to make windows format media files such as mpeg and avi and now I am in a position where I need to make those formats and was wondering if anybody could help me locate it and also if you have used it, is it good?
thanks,

Hi
I used Flip4Mac trial for Windows Media and works really good (I believe is the same as Episode). Here's the link: https://store3.esellerate.net/store/checkout/CustomLayout.aspx?s=STR1307002805&p c=&page=OnePageCatalog.htm
The one I use is VisualHub wich is easy of use, really cheap and works great on different formats (Flash, WMV, AVI, MPEG, etc). But it's an external application so you've to export your movie and then convert it with VisualHub.
Hope that helped.

Convert WMV files to MPEG and/or get Quicktime plug-in for WMV and AVI

Hi Apple experts,
I need to convert some WMV files to MPEG format or something that will play natively on a Mac in QuickTime or iTunes.
I was advised that the VLC app that will convert WMV to MPEG4?... but the page at the URL below indicates that this version of VLC is a player and does not say anything about converting WMV to MPEG...
http://vlc-download.com/download-vlc/?gclid=COrY_NKghKYCFQN7gwoduQy4qA
I would like to convert WMV files to MPEG so they will play in QuickTime or in iTunes on a Mac by just double-clicking them... for family members with Macs like me.
I am working on a PC where I am right now, but I have Macs at home and at work. I am on a PC for the time being at a friends place and I've produced a few .wmv files in Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. (Sorry Steve, it's just for a test).
QuickTime will not play WMV files, nor AVI files, but it indicates that it can use a plug-in to do so, but the QuickTime webpage for plug-ins that it takes me to doesn't have any plug-ins for WMV or AVI format files.
Of course the Windows Media Player plays the WMV and AVI files, but is there also a way to make them play in QuickTime or iTunes besides converting them?
Thanks so much,
numetro

Hi QTKirk,
I would like to be able to just give my family these files on a CD for high-res viewing on a computer, in addition to the DVDs that I have made for their TVs.
Since I don't control what they install on their computers, they don't necessarily have Flip4Mac on their Macs like I do... I just want them to be able to play MPEGs from a file on a CD or on their hard drives by simply double-clicking them.
After working with the recommended VLC player that also allegedly converts WMV files to MPEGs, for 8 hours, I have a result with the 7th attempt that mimics the worst kind of modern digital art that I've ever seen... I wish I could plug in the screenshot of the MPEG video that VLC produced... completely useless garbage.
Are there any other suggestions for a converter that simply handles converting WMV to any kind of MPEG file?
FFE was going to be the one that I tried until I read a post about VLC... that turned out to be a waste of 8 hours of sleepless time.

Mac Convert MPEG to AVI, FLV to AVI, F4V, and Quicktime MOV to AVI. You can also convert from AVI to MPEG or other major formats.

What is tyhe best video /audio converter to use on a Mac? To convert
Convert MPEG to AVI, FLV to AVI, F4V, and Quicktime MOV to AVI. to convert from AVI to MPEG or other major formats?

I prefer using Mac Video Converter software to do video conversion. I convert Quicktime MOV to AVI so that I can play the video on PS3.

Converting mpg and avi.

hey everybody, Ive been scanning these forums for information on adding video into the 5th gen ipod , Ive learned alot of things but surprisingly theres not much information on converting mpg and avi files without quicktime pro. In my opinion Id rather have many music videos, live performances etc, than making the effort of coding 2 hour long dvd movies. so ive tried FortyTwoDVDVxPlus http://ipsp.kaisakura.com/fortytwovx.php and this program is great for just that, just drag the avi or mpg in and select ipod as the output and thats it. Without the license you can only get 10 minutes of any file, none of my music videos are that long. so it codes a 4 minute music video into .m4v in less than 4 minutes. itunes opens them up and im just waiting to see if my ipod will play them. if it goes smooth I plan on buying the license, hope this helps.

I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.

Anyone here using FCE to edit Flip Mino HD .avi converted files- Rendering

This question may have been answered in bits and pieces in other posts but I'm hoping some smart person here can give me the settings I need to avoid rendering .avi HD-to-quicktime clips in Final Cut Express 2.0.1.
I'm shooting HD video with a Flip Mino HD camera which produces .avi files. I am aware FCE doesn't work with .avi files. The native codec of these .avi video files is H.264 ACC with a frame size of 1280 x 720. The quality is excellent but I am aware that H.264 is not an editing codec.
I'm using Mpeg Streamclip to convert those .avi video files into Quicktime files. With the MPEG Streamclip program there are MANY choices for compression including Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC, Apple Intermediate Codec and even the H.264 codec native to the Flip Mino HD. I've tried all of them with 24 frames and also 29.97 frames per second.
And there are several frame size choices as well including the native 1280 x 720. But to avoid distortion I'm keeping with 1280 x 720 unscaled.
The problem is, no matter what settings I seem to chose, when I import those converted clips into Final Cut Express, they need to be rendered before they can be played back or edited. I'm not talking about transitions like dissolves or titles, just straight clips. This problem does not happen in iMovie only FCE. But I hate editing in iMovie.
I have tried to match the setting in the sequence as best I can in FCE, including RT unlimited in playback.
Nothing has worked. Each time I import a converted clip into FCE v.2.0.1 I am forced to render the video.
I've read the MPEG Streamclip tutorial and I've seen the demos on Youtube but nothing is working. These MPEG options and conversions may work with Final Cut Pro but they are not working for me with Final Cut Express 2.0.1 on an intel iMac running 10.4.11.
My goal is to maintain the format frame size and quality, that I get from the Flip Mino HD, all the way into the final export from FCE 2.0.1.
Is there anything you can suggest? Am I missing some small setting? Do I need another third party program or do I need to upgrade to the latest FCE?
Thanks

Dear Tom,
With your help I made it work.
I bought Final Cut Express 4 and installed it in my 13 inch Macbook Pro.
I imported the H.264 HD Mpeg 4 clips, shot with my Flip Mino HD camera, into my MBpro.
I used MPEG Streamclip to convert these Flip video files into Quicktime files using the following settings:
Apple Intermediate Codec at 100% quality, 48 kHz, frame rate 29.97. Lower Field, Interlaced Scaling checked. 1280x720 HDTV 720p.
I then opened FCE4 with a sequence setting of DV NTSC 48kHz Anamorphic.
I imported the MPEG converted to QT Clips into FCE4
FCE4 gave me a warning that my clips did not perfectly match my sequence setting and asked me if I wanted to correct that. I said "yes". (I'm assuming it corrected the sequence settings and not the clips)
I was then able to drag those clips into the timeline WITHOUT having to render first!!!!
I was able to edit those clips, add dissolves, fade outs, page wipes and a text title etc.
I then exported the timeline sequence as a QT movie and the final outcome was very good. Keeping the original HD wide screen 16:9 format from the Flip camera.
I then imported that exported QT video from FCE4 into iMovie 8. Using iMovie 8 I easily uploaded that video on to the share function for Youtube. The final edited on Youtube held the HD quality of 720p and format 16:9 that I originally got from the Flip Mino HD camera.
It was a lot of steps and a lot of trial and error but the results were what I wanted.
Thanks for your help.

Won't display mpeg, mov, avi correctly

Hello all.
I am using CS4.
I've had this same issue the entire time I've had CS4, but I thought I'd ask on here.
I see lots of people have different issues with different file types, but I can't seem to find a standard answer.
My issues is that my premiere will import, and play, mpeg, mov, and avi, HOWEVER, I get the following issues:
#1: Red "flashes". Every few seconds, the video will flash red (like one giant colour matte over the entire thing). It's just a flash, but makes it impossible to use the footage.
#2: Sometimes it will play mov without the flash, but doesn't give me a separate audio track to work with (this doesn't concern me too much as I rarely work with mov - mostly just when using footage off my canon non video camera, but if there's a solution, I wouldn't mind hearing it).
The only file type it will play without any issues is wav (oddly enough). On the other hand, these tend to be pixelled (although I don't know if this issue is the wav file, or that I used DVD shrink to capture the video from DVD - I make fan videos. I convert the video files from DVD shrink to mpeg, or whatever else, via Prism).
I can also play mts files from my Sony camcorder without any issues at all.
Someone suggested the issue may be that I also have Roxio installed on the computer (and it was installed first) and told me only one or the other can play these file types (Roxio has no issues). But I'd like to avoid having to uninstall and reinstall everything (and I do use Roxio to make DVDs, as I haven't learned Encore yet).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
All the DVDs in question are official DVDs bought from stores. These aren't bootleg DVDs.
Yes, sorry, wmv. (Pixelled example at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEKlJ16-vo4 @ 0:33. You'll note the clips before these two don't have that same pixel issue - it seems random, but even if I import the episode again, the same eps will always pixel. Even when another ep from the same disc does not. Again, official DVDs, not bootlegs).
I've tried to import them as the vob files, but they wouldn't import.
Is CS4.2 an upgrade, or something I have to purchase?
I didn't really understand your article as to how it relates to this matter (as in, suggestions of what I can do to fix the problem).
But your answer only seems to speak to vob files. It doesn't explain why I have issues with the other files. I have these issues whether it's the original video file type (ex: downloaded from a camera), a download from youtube (quicktime), avi download from ANYWHERE, or burned myself with DVD shrink from an actual DVD (from the store) and converted (I use Prism).
The files play, and have audio. They just have this annoying red flash.
Ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op3khVVS6ig @ 2:53ish. Right as the red lightning in the shot ends, you'll see the red flash I'm talking about. This video was made entirely from footage downloaded from youtube, and was then converted to wmv after I saw the quicktime files were glitching (the example is one I didn't bother to convert since it sort of worked with the shot, so I decided not to bother).

.avi converted to MPEG4 but problem

Yes I was able to add a .mov ext to it but the video is not showing up. It was created on a PC using Tony Hawk helmet cam. I would like to use these clips to make low quality video of my bike rides etc.
As I said, I get audio but the Quicktime video pane is blank (white screen). Are there any tricks to converting it to any Quicktime format that would make the video appear? I can tell it has large amounts of data as it should (28mb) for a 4 minute video. When I initially uploaded it from the network, I proceeded to open it and Quicktime pro notified me that I needed a plugin and directed me to the plugins and update page you find in the Quicktime preferences pane when you click the update tab. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Martin J. Estrada

Since you are able to open it you can probably
find the file format and comporession (codec) by
using MovieInfo in the Window menu of the Quicktime
Player. Some folks report that this menu item does
not work for them with all codeds. If that is the
case you could open Movie Properties if you have QT
Pro, select the video track and then check Format in
the submenu.
I'm anxious to try this in Quicktime pro tonight when I get home. I hadn't even thought to check Movie info or Movie properties.
ALso, if it is an avi you could try the Divx codec
listed on the component page that Apple directed you
to.
When I was directed to the component page, the DiVX player was the logical choice for trying this. I downloaded it and gave it a shot with only the identical results, no picture, just sound.
If none of this works you could try ffmpegX to see if
it will read and/or convert to a suitable format.
Also, take a look this freeware: VLC, which may be able to read
and convert the file.
I searched here yesterday for information before I had even transfered it to my eMac and read somewhere about VLC and ffmpegx. I already have VLC on my iMac and gave it a shot with the same results. I don't believe I have the current version of VLC though, so I'll update it tonight and try it again. If perhaps this is the fix, will it now be possible to convert it for the purpose of exporting to iMovie and how, or will I still need to hunt the plugin or codec?
ffmpegx is a component of HandBrake is it not.
Incidentally, the software that came with the TH helmet cam is designed for the PC platform only and can convert the captured video footage to .avi or .wmv only. I'm wondering if there is a utility or application out there that makes these devices recognised when connected to a Macintosh.
Additionally, I forgot to mention that I tried conversion through MPEG Streamclip (?did I say that right?), also sound only. I've had success using this to convert MPEG4 and H264 to .mov files for import to iMovie and thought it might help.
Anyway, I really appreciate your consideration and view at my post. I look forward to letting you know I've found a solution because I see a lot of posts similar to mine (but pertaining to iPod transfer) with no resolution so to speak.
Thanks,
me

Importing MPEG and MOV

i have been trying to import MPEG and MOV files to iMovie 08 without any success.
the movies i have already previously copied to my HD, or have been copied for me, so I am not copying them from any camera.
The funny thing is ... when i look into my iPhoto library from iMovie he does recognise the videos i have copied directly from my digital photo camera, but i can't just copy any MPEG or MOV files from any other location, previously copied, to my iMovie library.
Does anybody here have the same problem as me?

Does anybody here have the same problem as me?
Everyone will have this problem. It is the way iMovie '08 is currently programmed. The basic problem is that most users fail to realize that there are three distinct levels of support in QT based applications:
1) Playback Support - This simply means a particular compresion format can be played in a QT application. E.g., MPEG2 video is not normally supported without the QT MPEG-2 component while MPEG1 and H.264/AAC files are both playback compatible as they are.
2) Conversion Support - This means a file can be "properly" converted to another compression format. In this case, "muxed" formats like MPEG1 and MPEG2 (even with the QT MPEG2 component) cannot be converted to another compression format by QT applications and retain their audio content while H.264/AAC files can.
3) Edit Support - This means that certain operations can be performed on the audio and/or video content at the frame level. QT applications can, for instance, segment the audio and video content of an H.264/AAC file at any frame but since "muxed" files like MPEG1 and MPEG2 files consist of "blocks" of audio data interspersed with "blocks" of video data in a single stream, segmenting a file at any point other than one where a "group" of such "blocks" ends/begins would mean the loss of many "frames worth" of either audio or video data. AVI has a similar problem. Since the "instances" of audio and video data mesh like the cogs of two wheels, segmenting an AVI always leaves a 1 frame deficit between the number audio frames and the number of video frames. (Ever wonder why you end up with that one "white" frame at the end of youe file?)
Now we come to the various types of QT based applications. Many, like iPhoto and iTunes don't really look at the files when they import them, so they are more than happy to import anything they can read and recognize. If a file can be played in the QT player, it can be played in both iPhoto and iTunes. On the other hand, some applications are a bit "picky" about what they will export. iTunes, for instance, will not export/sync a file it has imported if the target device cannot play it. iMovie '06 is also different, in that it will import anything it can convert even if it can't convert it properly -- i.e., an MPEG1 file will be converted to DV video but lose any audio that may have been contained in the file. iMovie '08 takes things to a new level. Since imported files are simply moved/copied to "Events" folders in their original compression format, iMovie '08 first checks to see if the files contain both audio and video data that can be edited at the frame level. If both cannot be edited at the frame level, then iMovie '08 will not allow you to import it. Camcorder devices, however, are handled differently. Since most content on tapeless models are not stored in a QT edit supported format, these files, as well as HDV, are converted to an intermediate codec (which can be edited) as part of the import process.
As to digital cameras, many manufacturers store their video clips in generic file containers. Just because a Kodak digital camera stores its data in an MOV file container, it does not mean bothe audio and video compressions formats can be edited in iMovie '08. Many Kodak models, for instance, store their video clips as MPEG4/µ-Law 2:1 files. Unfortunately, while the iMovie will accept the MPEG4 video, it doesn't like the µ-Law compressed audio. Same holds true for many Casio digital cameras which use Motion JPEG/DVI ADPCM comressed formats. Once again, iMovie has no problem with the Motion JPEG video content but refuses to accept the DVI ADPCM audio. Luckily, users have two options here. They can either convert both the audio and video to an iMovie '08 edit compatible compression format or simply convert the audio content and "re-merge" it with the original video for maximum quality. And, of course, MPEG1/2 "muxed" files or M2V files with unsupported audio compression formats must be converted for the reasons already mentioned above.

Compositing stills and avi's to a DVD

I have still images from a show that someone created awhile ago but also 4 animations in AVI format. The problem is the stills were moved to powerpoint to show on a TV but then the AVI's wouldn't run on the built in DVD play for the TV. So they tried to use a laptop and it didn't work.
They want to redo it so we can pop the DVD in the TV and have it show all the stills and then play the 4 AVI's at the end of the still slide show.
What's the best way to accomplish this with CS5.
TIA!

Combining mpg and avi footage

Hi,
I am trying to pull together video footage taken at my brother-in-laws wedding. The tape footage is .avi which is supported by premier pro but the footage taken on a Sony HDD digital camera is saved as .mpg and comes up as an unsupported format, it is also not recognised as a recording device in a capture screen. I have spent the afternoon trying converters to get it into avi but it then plays in slow motion or is a still because I am using trail versions. Have you any ideas?? I need to work it out quickly as once I go home in 5 days I will have no time to look at it. I am already planning an all nighter!!
I do want to combine the two different videos so it plays as one.
Thank you Sarah

Sarah,
You will not be able to Capture from the HDD camera in PrPro. As Harm mentions, if you have the trial, you cannot do anything regarding MPEG.
You will need to copy over the .MPEG (not sure if it writes this as a .VOB, or a straight MPEG file, to your computer, and then convert that/those file(s) to DV-AVI Type II, and then Import that/those file(s), into PrPro. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but there are free conversion programs that do it too, like Prism. Then, you will edit, and Export as DV-AVI to be used by an authoring program. With the trial, you will not have Encore, Adobe's excellent authoring app. Still, there are many others, that work, though not nearly so well. I think that Roxio, Nero and CyberLink have some authoring capabilities in certain of their programs. I do not use anything but Encore, so do not know how well, or poorly, these other programs function.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if the other camera records to miniDVD, or uses the .VOB container, this ARTICLE will give you some background on that "format."

Reduced quality of .vob and avi files

Hi Guys
I need some help please.
I am working on a trail version of adobe elements 10 on a new macbook pro lion.
No problem installing application.
When I import video either in vob from dvd or avi format, the quality of the video is reduced tremendously, there are no white black lines, no jumping, just low quality.
On the bottom right hand side, the application tells me that it is doing something called conforming.
When I play the same video in vlc on the mac, or on my pc, the video runs fine with no problems and the picture is crystal clear.
I tried the things suggested in support:
1. Rendering
2. Checked the fps are the same as the original video ie 25 fps
3. Tried using application to convert vob file to mp4 of all different levels of quality using external program (wondershare video converter ultimate for mac)
Elements looks like a great program, the closest to the magix I used to run on my pc, but the problem at the moment is that the quality is reduced.
Is there a codec problem?
The vob and avi files are not recognized by quicktime.
Please let me know asap
Thanks
Simon

Much has to do with which project settings you've selected in Premiere Elements when you set up your project. (For DVD video, you should be using the Hard Disk Camcorder/standard definition settings for your project.) You also should not mix DVD and AVI footage in a project. They interlace very differently and this can cause problems in your output.
Much also depends on where your AVIs are coming from. Unless your AVIs are from a miniDV camcorder, captured over a FireWire connection, you are likely working with a codec that is not fully compatible with the program. Where did these AVIs come from?
Conforming is an important part of the process of the program rendering non-workflow formats (such as DVD VOB files) into editable workflow formats. Allow the program the fully conform your DVD video and use the proper project presets and you should get results that are virtually identical to the original footage.
Parts 1 and 2 of my free 8 part Basic Training tutorials at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com will help you understand how and why project set-up and proper footage formats are so important.
