PC .MPG

I have files from a Sony Handy the files are .MPG for PC, I can watch Videos with sound on my Mac, however all my other programsn Divx converter, imovie etc. can not open files.
any way to save the files in another format. VLC can read them but not save them ?
Thank you
Rich

The only player that plays the .MPG is VLC. QT & imovie do not recognize the movies.
Multiplexed compression formats like MPEG-1 (MPG), MPEG-2 (MPEG, VOB, TS, ETC.), or Flash (SWF or FLV) are not fully supported by QT. MPEG-1 files, for instance are "playback" only compatible which means they will play in certain QT applications that will open them but cannot be converted (without losing audio) or edited. MPEG-2 content is not even "playback" compatible without the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($20) installed. Even when installed, only the video data may be playback supported. To make such files import/edit compatible with iMovie '08, use a third-party, MPEG-based application like MPEG Streamclip (free but requires the QT MPEG-2 component to be installed), iSquint (free but no longer available from developer), Visual Hub (pay-ware but not longer available from developer but may re-appear as an open source project called FilmRedux), FFmpegX (donation-ware), MPEG2 Works (pay-ware), or similar applications to convert your content to DV, AIC, Motion-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, or compatible MPEG-4 or H.264 profiles.

  • 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:

    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.

  • Best App to covert .wmv to .mpg

    I was wondering what is the best App out there to convert .wmv to .mpg.
    I have Flip4Mac but I want to actually convert the file.
    Thanks

    Some other 4 or 5 star forum user just told me easywmv does not do wmv conversion...don't know what's up with that, but F4M does work...however, only for the paid version. If you can find an old copy of Visual Hub, that would do it, but it's recently been abandoned.

  • When trying to convert quicktime mpg video files to m4v I am unable to open them or lose the audio completely. How can I fix this?

    So I am in nursing school and am making a group project that involves interviews of current RN's. I've been tasked with putting the video together from all the clips, even though I don't really have any experience with iMovie or iMovieHD (both of which I have on my MacBookPro). One of the interviews was recorded on what I think must have been some kind of Sony camera (I can find out if this is important), but I got the files off of a flash drive that my group member gave me. The files all opened in quicktime with no problem with complete audio and video, but when I tried to open it in either iMovie or iMovieHD it stated it could not "parse" the file (in HD) or just simply did not open (in regular iMovie). I'll have to learn the program either way but have been messing around with iMovieHD more so I would prefer to use this if I can. How can I convert the MPG files to m4v and still retain the audio part of the video? I've tried loading it into iPhoto and they won't load. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I'm running out of time to put this video together! Thanks!!

    Hi Grace,
    The free app MPEG Streamclip may be able to convert the file to a more suitable format. It can be downloaded from the developer's site here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Here's a User Tip by AppleMan1958 that provides some more information about MPEG Streamclip (it's about importing homemade DVDs, but similar principles apply):

  • HELP! How to import .mpg movies from a photocamera?

    I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
    Please help me out!
    Thanks!!!

    I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
    MPEG Streamclip (free) will convert MPG (multiplexed MPEG-1) files. As to resolution, you can re-scale the files during the conversion process but it merely increases the conversion time without improving quality. iMovie "08 automatically re-scales project files for display/export.

    Detail:
    I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
    I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.
    Thanks for getting back to me again though - appreciate it...

Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

  • Can't Edit Video Property Tags - e.g. .avi, .mpg, etc

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and I wanted to organize my videos by adding tags such as title, genre, etc.
    I have read other posts on this and nothing has been helpful. It seems that the moderators keep making the same suggestion to go to Properties>Details, but once they are told
    it doesn't work, they do not respond again.
    I have tried right clicking on a video and going to Properties> Details and while I can see any information that is there, it is not editable.
    I have tried editing it through Windows Media Player. I can edit it there, but when I try to update the file by going to Organize> Apply Media Information Changes (as suggested
    in these forums) the files still do not update (i.e. if I go to properties>details, I will not see the information updated there).
    I can edit the sample video (.wmv) but as I said I cannot edit properties of my own videos (.avi, .mpg). I have windows 7 at work as well and I seem to be able to edit the properties
    of a couple of M4V and Quicktime Movie Files, can’t find any .avi files to test.
    I am getting really frustrated with this issue. It seems like it should be an extremely simple thing, and yet it doesn't work. I don't understand why it works for some video files
    and not others.
    Are there specific video file formats for which you can't edit the properties?
    Is there a way these files could have become "locked"? We have tried to make sure that we have full permissions set, and it appears that we do, but are there particular permissions
    we could be missing?
    The files in question are stored on an External Drive and accessed through the Video Library in Windows Explorer, although copying them to any other location doesn't make the properties
    editable.
    The only way I have been able to edit these properties and see the changes in window explorer (see them by going back to properties>details) is by using a 3rd party program called
    abcavi but while it works sometimes, it corrupts the files other times, so it's not a good solution.
    Basically, I know HOW it's supposed to work, but it DOESN'T, so please give me some advice on how to make it work or explain why it doesn't. This is VERY frustrating.

    Windows Explorer and WMP probably don't write tags to files in AVI and MPEG format, because these formats don't properly support tagging. I think that it's advisable to instead use new formats, that have proper tagging support, like WMV or MPEG-4.
    To edit the tags of AVI and MPEG files,
    you could also give ExifTool a try. ExifTool is a command-line application, but you can download
    ExifTool GUI to get a nice interface. I haven't tried these programs myself, but it looks like they will do the job.

  • Can no longer play .mpg files

    I just noticed this. iTunes will not play any .mpg files on my Intel Mini runing SnowLeopard. I don't know if this is confined to video files or not. I have iTunes 9. whatever, it's the latest. The same files play fine in Leopard on my G5 Tower in the same version of iTunes. When I try to watch them in FrontRow (which we all know about by now) it get the error message "Not a recognized file format." Once again I can watch these on the G5 in FrontRow with no trouble. Anybody have any ideas?
    I'm really thinking of getting a bunch of used PPC Macs for my home entertainment network, ok i can't blame the poor Intel based models can I, it's just the Snow Leopard droppings all over my house.
    Thanks
    J.

    I should add that these are mpgs of a television series. They were made with QuickTime Pro 7.6.2 or .3 just before the new iTunes and Snow Leopard came out. I can open them with either QT X or QTPro7 on the Mini and they play fine. I don't know where to point the finger since they play through iTunes fine on the PPC Leopard Mac and not the Intel Snow Leopard Mac. It could be how the new tunes works with the OS but those kind of hooks are harder to find than they were back in the old OS7,8,9 days. I'm not meaning to be an old bloke longing for the old days cause i love the magic of technology.

    I uninstalled Roxio Creator NXT Pro (& used their cleanup program and CCleaner only on Roxio remnants) and the problem disappeared.  Did a complete re-install of Roxio and the same problem came back.  Curious as to why WMP would link to a Roxio
    DLL anyway.  BTW: Windows Media Center plays the same MPG files (w Roxiol) just fine so maybe not worth the $$$ below.  Had no problem with WMP &  Roxio Creator 2011 but the USB video capture device failed so I had to upgrade.
    Per incident: Roxio wants $25 / MS wants $49.  Thought I'd try "free" here first, not sure who owns this problem.
    (I guess the ~$49 Roxio Easy VHS to DVD Converter package has NO SUPPORT and 65% ONE STAR Amazon reviews - support only for their "Premium Products")   Maybe if they sold stuff that worked none of them would
    need "support"!
    TIA,
    JCN

    (a)  My account is an administrator account.
    (b) I did try turning WMP and WMC on and off independently within and without Roxio installed.  Without Roxio WMP works fine.  WMC works either way.
    (c) I did several more uninstalls / re-installs of Roxio product including using Revo Unistaller and Roxio's c2011_systemclean.bat "clean-up uninstall tool").  None of which worked and even made it worse (see below).
    My original key question still is:  Why does WMP fault via a Roxio dll?  dsfOggDemux2.dll (codec).  How is this even possible for there to be such a linkage?
    After all this effort now a clean reinstall of Roxio NXT Pro leaves me with this -->
    RoxioCentrtalFx.exe (their master gatewte interface) will not start-up with this new error (and un-fixable):

    Although the two Roxio programs I use will start via shortcuts:  mediacapture14.exe &
    mediamanager14.exe
    When the later program occasionally stops working, the application error, is via ntdll.dll which I noticed was updated in a series of Windows updates (about 12-14 of them) around the 8/27/2013 timeframe.  I kind of don't believe in co-incidences.
    My one and only Roxio Forum responder kind of suggested "why you and nobody else?" (having these problems, i.e., I am the crazy nut job here) to which I referred him to the hundreds of reviews on Amazon, etc that gave Roxio 2012 products, etc ONE STAR or
    less (about 50% out of >300).  I NEVER had this much trouble with Roxio 2009-2011.  Must be that new Corel culture ownership sinking in.

  • After installing PSE 8 Windows 7 no longer generates mpg thumbnails

    I recently noticed that Windows 7 was no longer producing thumbnails of .mpg files in Windows Explorer.  Much troubleshooting produced no solution.  Finally I un-installed PSE8, and immediately Windows was able to generate mpg thumbnails again.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Is there a solution (besides un-installing PSE8)?  By the way, I have PSE 7 installed and there is not effect on thumbnail generation in Windows Explorer.

    Since posting my original message, I have deleted PRE8 and PSE8.  I can't remember if PSE8 Organizer was able to make thumbnails for mpg files or not.  I'm sorry that I can't answer your question more clearly.  I did not want to leave PSE8 and PRE8 installed on my computer because of the problem I described above of how it affected Windows Explorer's ability to create mpg thumbnails.  So, I have removed PRE8 and PSE8 from my computer.
    After installing PRE8 and PSE8 have you found any problems with Windows Explorer creating mpg thumbnails?

  • Convert Flash file to .mpg or .mov?

    Hi, I'm just learning Flash on my Macbook and have been
    having a great time making my first 3-minute animation (using
    mostly frame-by-frame redraws with a few motion tweens and
    alpha-fade symbols in background layers). The sound layer is a .wav
    file recording of a 5-verse song, and I was able to copy-frames and
    paste a lot for the main animation layers because many of the main
    actions repeated with each verse. I recruited musician friends to
    sing for the soundtrack and everyone was very excited for the final
    result. The thing is, the project is a current-events response and
    the idea was to post it to YouTube so that all our friends and
    family could see it and forward it before the election -- wait too
    long and it won't be that funny anymore because it won't be
    relevant.
    However, when I finished it all and had it playing perfectly
    in my .swf files, I went to export it and ran into two problems:
    1. First, Youtube requires uploads to be in either .avi,
    .wmp, .mpg, or .mov format. In the "Export movie..." dialogue box,
    Quicktime format is the only option given that would produce one of
    Youtube's required formats, the .mov file. But when that export was
    complete, I viewed the movie in the Quicktime player and found that
    the audio and the visual were completely out of synch. That was the
    first problem.
    2. Desperate, I gave up on my master final file and resigned
    myself to using an earlier saved version of the .fla that did
    produce a synchronized .mov file. But when I uploaded that to
    YouTube, the result was visual torture. Instead of a video, what
    played was a slide show -- while the sound played at normal speed,
    the animation was only stills: one image would fill the window and
    freeze, and then another would replace it a bit later, and so on,
    skipping the 50 to 100 frames between each frame that did appear.
    No singing rabbits, no grinning governors...
    I don't know if the problem is something to do with adjusting
    frame rates, or if it's about finding the right converter, but if
    anyone can help, I'd be very grateful! A friend was able to put the
    .swf file up on his website temporarily, so if it's helpful you may
    be able to see it at

    Thanks,

    I got a great reply to the conversion question when I asked
    it again a couple of days later. The answer is
