.MTS files not working

Hi Everyone-
I just shot a short doc on the Panasonic GH2. I have all the .mts files imported into Premiere CS6 on a MacBook Pro. I have 16GB of RAM and the files are on a Thunderbolt drive. These files will not play back in real time, even when putting them on 1/4 resolution. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also some of the files loaded, then went offline and now when I try to re-import them, I am getting a Premiere import general error. Any thoughts? I also tried to wrap the files using one of the many wrapper programs out there before importing, but I lost sound when I did that and I need sound for sync purposes. Any help would be great. I edited a video with Nikon MTS files a year ago that worked perfectly on this system. I am really at a loss and on a deadline. Thanks!

Undeleted MTS files not working

Hey everyone
I've been trying to resolve this issue for about 2 weeks now and I'm having a lot of difficulty. I have been checking out countless forums, blogs and the like, but still have not been able to solve my problem. I will try and be brief, but my situation is as follows:
My boss handed me an SD card with about 2-3 years video footage which was not backed up, asked me to grab the files off it and delete the rest on the card. Which I did, then accidentally deleted (as well as an empty trash) the files I had just transfered to my desktop, very foolish I know!
After much searching online for programs to recover the deleted files I came across several, I tried the free trials for Stellar Phoenix, Mac Keeper, Nice to Recover & Data Rescue 3. Mac Keeper couldn't recover MTS files at all, and I ended up purchasing Stellar Phoenix. I ran Stellar Phoenix on the SD card and YAY!! I was able to recover the files directly from the source... well so it seems.
Prior to deleting the files I was able to open and watch the MTS files on VLC media player with no problems, but since their recovery I can't seem to find a program that will recognise the files. I tried iMovie, Quicktime even downloaded AVCHD conversion software such as iSkysoft video converter, Doremisoft Mac AVCHD Converter, Clip Wrap and Tanbee AVCHD Video Converter but unfortunately none of the programs could even identify the file format "format not recognised" often being the problem.
At this point I then attempted to recover the MTS files directly from my Trash using Stellar Phoenix, but after several attempts, the files still don't seem to appear at all. This got me searching for more alternatives. I soon discovered Photorec, (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec) despite the user interface, this proved promising, so far the best and fastest recovery program by a mile. Unfortunately though, it could only find about 5 of about 30 of my lost files and display only subliminal imagery when viewed in VLC.
Now I'm stuck!! has anyone out there gone through anything similar, and did you have any luck recovering your files????

How do I convert MTS files to work in Adobe CS6 Premiere on my new iMac (2013)

I am trying to get AVCHD MTS files to work with my iMac. Is there a free converter or will Premiere Pro CS6 do it?

What is the best product for converting MTS files (NOT on camera or in root directory) for editing in Final Cut

Hello all,
I have read the forums and know that I cannot use the Log and Transfer function on Final Cut Express 4.0 for my AVCHD files (from my Panasonic HC-V700) AFTER I have transfered the files out of the original root directory. Unfortunately, I did not know this until recently and I have a bunch of old footage in .mts form that I copied onto my harddrive WITHOUT the root directory. I now must get it into Final Cut Express 4.0.1. and I would like to use a Log and Transfer style program so that I can select what I need and erase the rest. I know about the program VoltaicHD which can be used for this purpose. I have not yet purchased it, but I will if this is my best option. The downsides to it are that it takes a lot of time to process the files (i hear from this forum) and that it creates extremely large files (hearsay from this forum, though I would like to know just how big those files are and how they compare to the size of files final cut creates). When I tried the trial version, I also noticed that unlike the log and transfer function in Final Cut Express 4.0.1, you cannot capture multiple subclips from a single clip. Well you can, but you have to load the clip into the viewing window again, which is not ideal.
I would love some more advice on this. I imagine other people have made this same mistake and have had to figure their way out of it.
I was also wondering is it possible to use Final Cut Express's Log and Transfer program directly from files if they are in a different file format. So far my experiments with this have failed. But if this is possible, I suppose I can also just convert all the backlogged files wholesale into a format that Final Cut Express supports more easily for Log and Transfer (What file format would this be? Sorry I am new to this). My new harddrive has a lot of free space, so I could probably handle the huge amount of storage that this would require for the raw footage and then I could erase it after I log and transfer just what I need. In which case, do folks have recommendations for a file convertor. I am dealing with over hundreds of files and I don't think the free online convertors would work. This product has been suggested to me, but I know very little about it.
Thanks!
Mira

I am also finding, when I use Voltaic trial version, that the quicktime movies it creates are of inferior quality than those created through log and transfer into final cut express and imovie, particularly during rapid movement. There's a lot of visible lines running horizontally around areas of rapid movement (not sure what the lingo is for this).
Anyway, now I am getting accustomed to the idea that my best bet is probably just a high quality converter to get my mts files into something more useable by final cut. At this point, I am willing to sit through the render time that it will take on final cut express while I edit. I am just trying to get my footage into workable format without losing quality.
Thank you!
Mira

Rewrapped AVCHD MTS files not playing correctly

I'm using a Panasonic HDC-TM700 camera to record 1920x1080 60p. The camera records to the AVCHD format which yields a .MTS file. Final Cut Pro X still does not support importing from this camera. I've tried the various tricks mentioned in these forums such as creating a camera archive, importing directly from the SD card, using Panasonic's AVC CAM restore tool, etc. Nothing has been sucessful, so it looks like it's back to re-wrapping the .MTS file to a .m4v file. To do this, I'm using the Rewrap2M4V apple script combined with ClibGrab as described in other discussions. My newly wrapped m4v clips play just fine in Quicktime Player. The movie inspector reports a FPS of 59.94 and a resolution of 1920x1080.
When I import these clips into Final Cut, however, I see two green or black empty frames about every 28-30 frames. This occurs when I'm previewing the clip from the event library and when the clip in in the timeline. The timeline is set to 1920x1080 59.94p, though I've tried 60p and saw the same behavior.
When I export the clip to a h.264 .mov file, I don't see the green or black blank frames, but the picture is garbled in those places.
For what it's worth, I've installed the updated QT codecs. Any ideas?

I don't know what conversion engine clipgrab uses, but i have had success with the old Final Cut Express using ffmpeg based software to re-wrap the .MTS files from my panasonic GH2. I use Media Converter (an ffmpeg front-end) and if you go to their presets page you'll find presets i made to do it. Give that a shot maybe. Another thing you can try to do if that still does not work is a 'standards conversion' of the re-wrapped video to ProRes in JES Deinterlacer.
good luck!

MTS.problem with Canon Vixia HF S100 mts.file not transferable to FCE4 ?

As new owner of iMaC and FCE4 and new in video...but"experience photographer" can't figure out how to get the mts. files from my Canon Vixia HF S100 to FCE4 neither from HD previously stored in folders by Canon original import software made the :-{ provided with camcorder.
iMovie can read and open only the mts.files diretly from SDHC card/camera but not from H drive.I was told by Apple sale rep. if I would go with FCE4 it will support mts.and solve my problem but opposite is true so far,reading this forum doesn't help much...cause only solution offered by many is use of another convert soft,with is questionable with lost of HD quality or not,but why ...why this format doesn't work directly with FCE4 ???
it's frustrating...welcome in the world of AVCHD ;-{ ...
Big thanks for any advice guys !!!Appreciate !!!

Importing .mts files not nested in original camera folder structure

The short version:
Is there any way to import .mts files already copied to a hard drive, without keeping the camera's folder structure intact, into Premiere Pro CS5.5?
The long version:
I recently purchased an iMac. For years I edited video on Windows using Sony Vegas and Vegas Home Studio. My camera, the Panasonic Lumix TS2, shoots AVCHD video. Vegas has no problem importing and editing AVCHD .mts files from a camera or a hard drive so it wasn't until I attempted to edit some video in Premiere Pro, recieved the "unsupported compressions type" error message and did some searching that I realized folder structure is so critial to working with AVCHD. From what I can tell, the files have to be in the PRIVATE>AVCHD>BDMV>STREAM>xxxxxxx.mts confirguration to be imported via the media browser.
Here is my situation, I have hundreds of .mts files in separate folders, bundled together with photos from the same day or event. I'm on an iMac i7, using an activated version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 from the Master Collection. Is there any way I can import and edit these files natively? And in the future, is there any way around transferring the entire folder structure everytime I want to copy the video files to my hard drive? I use Bridge to import photos and it will just pull the video files off the card and plop them in the same folder. Having to transfer the videos separately seems like a silly work around in our modern age. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yo! I used to have this problem for about 1 year!! And fixed it about half a year ago and I have never been as happy when I fixed it!
Be sure that your sequence settings are set to the right settings: When you create a new sequence you should be promped with a window asking what settings you want. Open the "AVCHD" folder and there should be 3 folders; 1080p, 1080i, 720p. Pick the one that you filmed at, I film at 1080p, so I open that folder and then you pick the right setting to what you filmed your scene. I film at 24 fps so i pick AVCHD 1080p24 (non-anamorphic). Now there should be a new sequence with the right settings (don't use the same settings as I do unless you have filmed at the same frame rate and that it was filmed at 1080p or 1080i, there is a big difference between "p" and "i"). If you go in to the window in the bottom left corner there should be a tab on that box that says "Media Browser". Click it and the directory to your computer should be shown. If you have your SD card connected there should be something called SD card (or if you have renamed it then it is obvious what you should select). After selecting it there should be a folder called AVCHD and you open it up. This is where it gets tricky... because I don't know what camera you use and don't have any experience with your camera then you will have to go through all the folders that are within the AVCHD folder. They are not so many but in the folder where all the clips are hidden they should be called 00626.mts for example. Then you just select the clips you want to import and import them. This process can also be done by opening Finder (mac) or on PC just open up the same way and select the clips you want and drag them i to your project window
Then if you drag a clip in to the sequence, this is were you see if you did all the steps right (with the sequence settings) then the light above the clip should be yellow, meaning that the playback engine recognizes the format and can play it back without any compression Therefor giving you much better quality videos!
Hope this helps, I know the pain you are going through, don't want it to happen to anyone else

MTS Files not importing to FCE

I am using a Panasonic HS700 importing MTS files to FCE via log transfer is not a problem. Where I am having problem is with a customer of mine. I specifically had them buy Panasonic HDC-HS60 because I knew it would work with FCE on my iMac. The company brought me the MTS files on a hard drive for me to use. I tried using Log and Transfer and it will not work. I did notice that the Seagate hard drive was formatted for Microsoft and I am not sure whether that would make a difference. I don't see why I need to buy a conversion device if the video was created on a compatible device to mine. Any help please would be most appreciated. Cheers

The reason is that you can Log & Transfer from your HS700 is because FCE is importing directly from the camera. You can't do that with 'bare' MTS files on a hard drive. In copying just the MTS files from the HS60 to a hard drive you lost the clip info files, clip index files and the folder structure that are require for FCE Log & Transfer to work.
When you copy from a camcorder to a hard drive you have to copy the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the MTS files. (Imho it's best to copy everything from the root directory down, but peole have gotten away just copying the AVCHD folder & all its content.)
At this point you could either borrow the HDC-HS60 and Log & Transfer the video from it. Or use Clipwrap to transcode the MTS video files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing into FCE.

Application files not working...please help.

I have an imac g3 400MHz when i start it up it goes through its normal starting phases but without any error messages and when the color screen pops up , it freezes so the only way i can start the computer is with extensions off. Once their any application file i try to open does not work but i do get messages that read for example:"The application "Apple DVD Player" could not be opened because "ControlStripLib" could not be found". Other messages read similiarly. Can you offer any suggestions or do you require further information about my problem?
Thanks.
Rob Arrona
imac g3 400mhz Mac OS 9.0.x

Open the Servers folder inside the System Folder and throw away anything that you don't recognize, and restart your computer normally. If the issue persists, open the Extensions Manager control panel, turn off half of your extensions, and restart the machine. Repeat the process of turning off half of the remaining extensions and restarting until you've narrowed down the extension causing your issue.
The messages about items not being found are due to the extensions not being loaded.

Edge.oam animation file not working in Muse

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've created an edge animation, published an .oam file and placed it on a Muse wepage (no prob).
Preview in Muse works beautifully.
Preview in browser from Muse works beautifully.
Export Muse to HTML and Edge animation not displaying – looked at the code, shows an iframe with link to edge html, but just not working.
...help please

Someone please help me with this... I dont understand where the src path should point to when updated? Can you give an example path. I am not using edge animate but instead HYPE 3 which is relatively the same thing, exports html animations as an OAM or html file. When I use the OAM in muse it previews fine in browser and in Muse. But when I publish it shows a blank box. I looked at the code and see the iframe pointing to assets/example/example.html.
I've tried exporting the Muse file as HTML after I've placed the OAM widget in Muse.. Then I navigate to the assets file and open the HTML file and try and locate the iframe code line but it does NOT exist. But if i Publish the site with Muse and OAM widget and use the developers tools I can see the iframe. After that I've tried going through filezilla to the assets folder and opening the HTML file but still NO iframe code line exists. I only find src for .js code.
PLEASE HELP... would really like to integrate these animations into my projects.
Thanks

Sharepoint 2013, event receiver to rename files not working

I coded an event receiver (ItemAdding) that renames for example a .txt file to a .text file (it does not matter the extensions, it is just an example). In my code what I do is to an SPFile.MoveTo operation. It works fine in SP2010 but when I execute
the same code in SP 2013, when the operation is done using IE I get the text "Sorry, something went wrong" and then "File Not Found".
In the logs this is what I see:
12/23/2013 15:48:49.16 w3wp.exe (0x17B0)                       0x0AC8 SharePoint Foundation

It's clear that the Sharepoint upload code tries to do things with the original name and it does not realize that it was renamed.
Can I do something from my event receiver code like using the AfterProperties to bypass this error?
Thanks

Hi Dennis,
The issue still persists. Here is the code:

                    SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);

                    if (properties.ListItem != null)
                        properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                        properties.ListItem.Update();
                    spf.MoveTo(szUrl);

My code is like this,

FORM backup_file .

        l_rc TYPE i.
IF p_appl = 'X'. "Unix file

Replace the directory name with the backup directory.
    REPLACE p_dir IN wa_files-filename WITH p_back.
Tack date/time onto the end of the file name to avoid duplicate

        TRANSFER wa_input TO wa_files-filename.
      ENDLOOP.

Close the backup file.
    CLOSE DATASET wa_files-filename.
Delete the original file from the processing directory.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    DELETE DATASET lv_oldfile.
endif.
endform.
Thanks Everyone!

HI,
You have to check the value of Sy-subrc after the delete statement,
and the value present in the variable lv_oldfile that if there is correct
value in the variable populated or not.
Moreover after assigning the value to variable lv_oldfile in the step
lv_oldfile = wa_files-filename.
then you should use this variable lv_oldfile only for open dataset and close dataset also.
Hope ir helps

Calendar Alarm Open FIle not working in Mountain Lion

Recently upgraded my mac mini server to 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I need it to open a particular Filemaker file every morning, and close the application every night. Used to have a simple alarm in iCal set to do this with Open File and then a very simple Automator script to close the program at a scheduled time, also in iCal. Worked fine. Now, in trying to recreate this, it doesn't work - I make the scripts, and if I set them for a time I can test them (ie. 5 minutes from now), they work as planned, but they will not function on their own at the scheduled time. I thought it might be going to sleep, so I set Energy Saver to Never go to sleep, unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible", and checked "Wake for network access". Still not working. Any thoughts? Any idea how to even troubleshoot this?

I thought I was on to something, but then I re-read your post and saw that you've successfully tested your scripts in Calendar. So, all I've got left to offer is a silly question: has the calendar been set to ignore alerts? I ask because just within the last few days I created an Automator calendar alarm, tested it successfully (in the same fashion as you), and set it off to run on its merrily-scheduled way, only to discover it wasn't firing on its own. Like you, I double-checked my Energy Saver settings and it looked like things should work just fine. What I finally found was that at some point during all my testing and fiddling I'd ticked the "Ignore alerts" box for the calendar, and that's what was keeping my script from firing.

Animated gif files not working in FF5 ok in every other browser

Hi .
I am having problems getting animated gifs to play in firefox 5 i am using a photo gallery script to show these files it works in every other browser i have access to (most of them on Linux and windows Xp and win7 ) if i use FF5 as a file manager and navigate to the files they run but not from a web page this is only with firefox 4 and 5 not got previous to 4 to test .

Right . this looks like it may be a problem with the way FF5 is handling various methods of viewing images i use the following code .
<pre><nowiki><a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="photos/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.jpg" width="100px" height="75px" border="0"><span><img src="photos/Animations/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.gif"></span></a></nowiki></pre>
along with css .
<pre><nowiki>(

Tried safe mode no addons no change ..
