  • Which is the better converter for mts and mpg files?

    Ok, I just have a quick question regarding conversion software. Does anyone know which is better...PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP2? Besides the cost...pavtube is cheaper. Which one is faster and offers the best quality? OR is there even a better one out there? I have mts files and mpg files I'd like to convert for use in FCP 6.

    ClipWrap2.

  • Trouble playing .avi and .mpg files

    I'm about ready to throw my Panasonic HDC-TM15 out the window.
    I used the camera memory to shoot video files and then uploaded those files onto my work computer, which is an HP. The files came in as .m2ts which would only play in the Panasonic video-editing software. Through this software I was able to convert the files to .mpg.
    I decided I wanted to use my new Mac Book Pro to edit the video files so I moved all the files (both .mpg and .m2ts) to an external hard drive and then plugged that into my MacBook. However, the files will not play through quicktime at all. I tried opening some old .avi files and that won't play either.
    I'm really fed up and I don't understand why these files (.mpg, .m2ts, .avi) will not play on my macbook. Any suggestions?

    Both MTS and MPG files are variations of MPEG; .mts is typically an MPEG-2 Transport Stream while .mpg is typically an MPEG-2 Program Stream (but not always). So you're essentially converting from one MPEG format into another and obviously that doesn't help.
    As Jeremy Hansen already suggested, try using MPEG Streamclip (freeware) along with Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99 USD) to convert the original MTS files into a codec that your system can play/work with.
    Jeremy is also correct about .avi files. AVI is merely a container; the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs, not all are available for a Mac. You could try downloading Perian ( http://perian.org/ ) to see if the added codecs from that package will let you play and/or convert some of the AVI files.

  • PLEASE HELP!  iMovie and .MPG Files

    Hello. Please help me. I'm on a G5. 10.5.3. iMovie 7.1.2 (577) I have a series of .MPG files that I need to import into iMovie to edit, arrange and then export over to iDVD, etc. iMovie does not see the .MPG files. The Apple site states that iMovie sees only MPEG-4 files and DV files. I also own Quicktime Pro 7.5 (149.5). When I open the .MPG file in Quicktime Pro, even though the file plays perfectly, when I select "Export to MPEG-4" so I can create a readable file by iMovie, I get an error message that say's "Failed: Export process terminated unexpectedly (10). Complete frustration. Is there another way I can convert these files so iMovie can see them? What's wrong with my Quicktime Pro? I bought DivX Pro last night. I thought maybe that program would make an iMovie readable file. No luck. I used DivX to convert and it created a DivX file with NO SOUND. Wasted money.
    If anyone has any solutions for my problems noted here or possible alternatives so I can achieve what I'm trying to do successfully, PLEASE ADVISE as soon as possible.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and THANKS, in advance, for your help.

    I'm still wondering why QT Pro is failing to convert with that error message.
    Well, if the video codec used in the .MPG container is MPEG2, QuickTime cannot export with a source of this format; it can only play it.
    I remember reading about the reason for Apple doing this, and I forgot exactly why it is, but I think it had something to do with some legal issue. I also read that this is why Mac OS has a separate DVD Player instead of just playing DVDs right inside of QuickTime.

  • QuickTime 7.7.1, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer, and .mpg files

    After updating QuickTime to 7.7.1, QuickTime runs whenever I click on a .mpg file in Internet Explorer, under Windows Vista.
    The last time this happened I had to go into QuickTime>Edit>Preferences>QuickTime Preferences>Browser>Mime Settings and uncheck the MIME association to .mpg files.
    This time with QuickTime 7.7.1, clicking on MIME Settings just opens up Windows Default Programs association window, not the Quicktime MIME associations.  .mpg is unchecked, and Windows Media Player is associated with .mpg.  All file types that are checked for QuickTime are grayed out, and cannot be unchecked.
    Any ideas?

    Solution found:
    After making sure Windows Media Player is the default player in Windows Default Programs for file types .mp3 and .mpg, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Set Programs>Set program access and computer defaults>Custom>Choose a default media player: Then click on Windows Media Player radio button.
    In Customs, you have to either click on the word Customs or click on the down arrows to the far right of Customs to expand the choices, and find "Choose a default media player:"
    You will also have to be logged in as Administrator or have the Admin password to reset this choice.

  • HT3775 Does anyone know how to get .mts files and mpg files to work in final cut express?

    I am trying to import footage from a cannon xa10 but it wont come up in final cut express. The only files I have managed to get off the sd card are either .mts or .mpg files and these won't import into final cut. Any suggestions?

    Barney & cjnz11, are you importing AVCHD lite?
    FCE doesnt play nice with AVCHD lite with the Standard plugins, imovie on the other hand does (go figure) there is a fix for this.
    1. Open the Final Cut Express.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content'. At Contents/Plugins you find a folder called: "AVCHD.RADPlug". compress this and keep it safe (Just incase)
    2. Now Open the iMovie.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content'  At Contents/RADPlugins there is a folder called "AVCHD.RADPlug". Copy that folder to where you found the folder with the same name inside the Final Cut Express.app
    After that you will be able to Log & Transfer AVCHD Lite with in FCE instead of the imovie import and XML export method.

    You'll get a ton of ideas from others so, by no means, don't think that mine will solve your issue. I, personally have fallen in love with [StreamClip|http://www.squared5.com>. It does a ton of stuff.
    As for your Error 10, hopefully that's just an "out of space" (on your drive) error and not an I/O error (a problem with the drive reading/writing)
    But, you said you have Quicktime Pro and you're going to iMovie so I'd try to make your .MPG files a DV Stream...I think that's what I movie likes.
    Anyway try that,

  • Can't import mov and mpg files into cs5.5

    Hi
    When I import a mpg file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    There was an erro decompressing audio or video
    When I import a mov file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    Importer reported a generic error.
    Good news is, that I have simply imported both files in the past without any troubles. So I hope it is something very simple.
    Maybe I have somewhere codec installed in the past (k-light) and something now doesn't work that well anymore.
    But I don't know if I have done this anymore and a desktop search didn't deliver me any results.

    I've installed Premiere Pro now on a different windows7 platform.
    Still the same. Can't import the mpg file. Somehow the mov file works here so that is something.
    Anyway I thought maybe it is helpful to share some data about the video:
    Container:
    DVD "VOB" format
    MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
    Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
    Audio:

    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot)
    Video:

  • FCE and mpg files

    Hi folks,
    I recorded video on a Sony SR-7 camcorder using the SD HQ setting. It comes out as an .mpg video file. I found i cannot import these video files into FCE 4.0 natively.
    Do any of you have a suggested workaround for this problem? I have tried importing into imovie, but when i use those files in FCE, the quality is crappy. I tried using the TMPGE converter on a PC to mpeg-4 and avi, but none of those looked right when imported into FCE, maybe because i did it on a PC?
    Any help would be very much appreciated. I would love it if FCE 4.0 just imported the SD HQ mpg files natively!
    thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, FCE does not work with MPEG files. Do not use iMovie as a convertor, as it will decrease the quality substantially.
    The best thing to do would be to first convert your MPEG files into something FCE can work with such as DV. You can do this with a program such as the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com>.

  • How do I compress .mov and .mpg files

    I have several mpg1video clips at 18.8MB each, how do I compress them into smaller files. I want to e-mail them at about 2-3MB each, and maintain good quality? Power Mac G5 2.3 OSX 10.4.4 My objective is to upload 30 second video commercials and 2-3 minute clips to my web site or e-mail them to various clients. Need help.
    Thanks,
    morris1

    For most users just using a browser other than Safari solves the trouble.
    When I encounter pages that don't show the Pro "pull down" (right end of the controller) I simply Control click on the video window to bring up the contextual menu.

  • Importing from a DVD into Premiere CS6 and MPG files.

    HI I'm new to this forum and to CS6. I'm well versed in CS3 Premiere and other earlier versions.
    I have a problem importing the VOB files from a DVD into Premiere CS6. I copied the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD onto my hard drive and successfully imported the 3 VOB files that made up the 1 hour video. Upon placing them into a sequence (720 x 576 25fps DV PAL to match the DVD) I found that when I played over a join between the VOB files, the picture and sound briefly broke up. Is this normal? There is no encryption on the DVD.
    I then used MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD to a MPG2 with MP2 audio file (thereby avoiding a decode and the subsequent recode when I encode the edited version, I.E. DVD is MPEG2 so I want to extract the video with the minimum of processing.) I tried to import this into Premiere but after it thought about it for a while, the resulting icon in the Project Window indicated that the file was not usable. Indeed it was not. I deleted it...... and then imported it again. It worked! This is not just a one-off occurrence. Any thoughts?
    Premiere is fully updated along with all the other programs in CS6. Using Windows 7 64 bit.
    bye Andrew

    I have same issue too.
    Who can help me
    Used "Media Encoder"  encore three . VOB(form DVD) files to WMV.
    And used Premiere to import the file between the VOB files,
    the sound briefly broke up.
    If change to import .VOB form dvd,the sound briefly broke up too.
    thanks!

  • M4V and MPG files

    Good afternoon
    A strange problem. These 2 file types won't get copied onto my IPOD so I go into Advanced then Create Ipod/Iphone version on the Itunes menu to create a file that will supposedly run on Ipod. The files do get copied over but minus the sound.
    Any ideas? I'm on 8.02 the latest version.

  • Basic system struggling with Standard Def MPG files

    We built two news editors about 6 months ago and needed to build both computers for $1200.  These were replacing two old Avid Newscutter XP systems from 2004...
    Because we were shooting DVCAM on DSR-250 camera's or to .mov/.avi DV files on nNovia QC Decks on the camera's, the files were basic DV 25Mbps content in SD.
    Based on the System Requirements of Adobe for Premiere CS5, I didn't feel I needed to build these as top end machines at the time.
    They are as follows:
    MSI Motherboard 77T-C45  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130270
    AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103846

    Looking back at it now, and after reading a lot of posts, these systems are on the low end.  Guess that is how Adobe gets more people to buy software, make it look like it will run on what you have, after you shell out the cash on the program you realize you have to upgrade hardware too..
    The systems have been working great for the SD footage we needed them for.  We are not going HD anytime soon as our entire studio, routers, switcher, CG, playout system, studio camera's and pretty much everything else would need updating. So I wanted editors that were more user friendly and would handle what we were working with and that is what I got.  Figured in 3-5 years when HD comes along for us it will be time for entire new system on CS7 with 30 cores, 1 TB of memory and such... (More's Law)...
    So new twist to the issue.  We were having a lot of issues with camera's dying the last few months.  It was getting hard to keep the DSR-250s working and even though I can buy them for $1000-$1500 used off of e-bay and they are in way better shape than ours, they were big, bulky and our reporters "one man band" it a lot and two of the young women are just shy of 5 foot.  You should see a petite little reporter lug a huge shoulder mount camera up onto the tripod and run it when it is bigger than them.. Really funny!!
    So I pushed for new camera's and found the new Sony HXR-NX5U met all our needs in that it is a Z1/Z5 style camera (smaller format) but has "NO TAPE"...Shoots to SD cards and a 4 GB class 2 gives 58 min each in SD.
    It will shoot HD as AVCHD 24Mbps files and does SD as Mpeg-2 and 9 Mbps with AC3 audio.  I demo'd a camera from Sony and did a lot of testing with it, I played a few clips on the CS5 systems and everything seemed ok.  They did require a quick render and I think that has to do with the Mpeg-2 compression.  It is about 1/4-1/2 time render so a 5 minute clip will take 1-2.5 minutes roughly to render out.  Playback is ok even when not rendered but the video looks fuzzy on the CRT monitor looped off of our Firewire DSR-11 DVCAM deck.  Not a big deal, they can edit and render at the end before dumping to tape.
    Problem that came up today (we just started using the new camera's this week), when I went to diagnose system crashing, I found a simple news package on the timeline.  Maybe 40 small clips, edited into a package, with simple edits.  It was already rendered but I noticed the fan on the system was running fast which only happens if the CPU is working hard.  (Front Case Fan 120mm is on the CPU fan header PWM control, CPU fan is on Northbridge fan connector non-PWM controlled)  So the CPU fan (stock) is running at full speed but I used the MB temp monitoring to control the front fan so I could have a quiet system when it is not working hard.
    That led me to open the task manager.  I found that the CPU is running along at 94-98% for both Cores.  Ram is ok as Premiere was using about 1.8GB of the 4 GB in the system.  I checked the other system and it was doing the same thing.
    What is odd, is premiere is just sitting there with a timeline open, mpeg-2 clips on it and me not doing anything it stays at 92% continually.  I even close the project so I am out at the "new project" "Open Project" screen and no change.  If I hit exit, then the CPU drops right away down to 7% and is fine.  Open premiere back up into a project and CPU goes right back up.  During a timeline Render it is 100%.
    We are able to edit and they seem to work but it is causing the system to run Hot and is running the CPU at near max all the time. I added two more 80mm fans out the back that will help pull more hot air out.
    Is my chip way to slow for mpeg?  is there a setting that I must change to optimize editing mpeg-2?  I am assuming it is the work to decode the video on the fly, something the DV video didn't require so much CPU for.  I am not using GPU acceleration as I do not have a card that supports it even with the hack that I know of.  And GPU Acc. doesn't work for DV firewire output either.
    I am considering the following:
    1. Buy larger aftermarket CPU cooler and overclock my chip as many say this "Black Edition" with an unlocked multiplier is a breeze to overclock up to 4 Ghz range. (but still only 2 cores)
    2. Buy a replacement 4 or 6 core processor to replace it (also with the better than stock Cooler from above)
    The only problem is having to spend so much money on additional hardware.
    I am also going to optimize Windows 7 on these editors as I think Areo is running and other none essential things.
    The big question is why is it maxing out when doing NOTHING?????  Is it just trying to build that freeze frame on the screen as it is a picture between the I- frames? (i.e. not a real frame of video but one created by decoding the info of IPPBPPIPPBPPI etc.)
    Any idea's/help would be great.  Anyone else using this camera and the SD files?  I didn't think this would be an issue as I had read post that people were editing this kind of stuff on CS3 a few years back.  Can't believe it would cause a newer system so much grief..

    is damn accurate. 8-th rank from the bottom and around 32 x slower than a fast system, out of nearly 200 systems tested. For DV that is still perfectly acceptable, but for AVCHD it is not enough.
    Your problem is the same in every industry. One can increase productivity and reduce hazards or improve working conditions (like less bulky and heavy cameras), but only at a price, by investing in new technology. It makes no sense to only invest in new cameras, without also investing in new computer equipment. It would be similar to investing in new production machinery in a plant, but postponing the training required for employees to properly use that new machinery. IMO that is a typical example of 'penny-wise, pound foolish'.
    When I built these systems 8 months ago, I was originally going to get CS4, then I read on the site the CS5 was just around the corner, didn't want to buy the version on it's way out so I held off.  I had never been to this forum, wish I had, things might be different....  I went off of this list when deciding what we would need:
    Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor; 64-bit support required
    64-bit operating system required: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 or Windows® 7
    2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended)
    10GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash-based storage devices)
    7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed
    1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
    Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Adobe-certified card for capture and export to tape for SD/HD workflows
    OHCI-compatible IEEE 1394 port for DV and HDV capture, export to tape, and transmit to DV device
    Sound card compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft Windows Driver Model
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (DVD+-R burner for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features
    Broadband Internet connection required for online services*
    I understand competely now that these systems are too slow, Adobe's own specs are way to low. I knew I was on the low end but the problem is we built them for DV so I wasn't expecting them to do much more than that.  According to Adobe, I was in the (recommended Spec, not even the minimum...)  If I was wanting to attempt AVCHD right now I would start over, but the desire now is to edit .mpg clips.  It seems to be able to do that but when we have a few on the timeline and they are rendered the CPU just maxes out for no reason. But I have trouble duplicating it myself...
    Today I went in and there was one .mpg clip on a timeline.  I checked the CPU and it was running at 98%.  I closed that project, started a new one with standard DV NTSC same as the reporters. Imported the same .mpg file that was on this reporters project.  I placed it on the timeline just as she had it and did some cuts and worked with it for over 5 minutes.  Rendered it all and the CPU looked fine, maybe 40-50% in bursts.  Playing it would cause it to go up some, stop it would go down.  Could not get it to do what it was doing for her.  Closed my project re-opened hers and boom CPU to 98% again.
    here are some screenshots:
    You can see here is where opening her project caused the spike.  Then not doing anything with Premiere it just floats along the top...
    Media Cache on E:\ Drive, same as the project and .mpg file.  1 TB 7200 RPM drive.
    Proceses that are running, mspaint only running as that is what I did the paste of the Alt+Print Screen to grab the task manager with.
