HELP!!!! Importing MPEG Video to CS3

Well I Can't import mpeg video to cs3 how can i format my video in order to import my video?
Every time i want to import video it says
"File format not Supported"
A lil help will b great
Thanks.....

Based on reading a LOT of problem reports, importing files from a DVD camcorder or other MPEG device, or Ripping DVD files rarely results in success in Premiere... do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is designed to be for PLAYBACK only... and that includes trying to edit a Standard Def MPEG or VOB file!
You should also use WAV sound files, not the compressed MP3 format, To work with AC3 files in Premiere, it MAY work to copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore DVD directory into the Premiere directory
Go to my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
Click the internal link for editing compressed files... read
There are other products better suited to your task... but if you only have DVD type files, you should convert to DV AVI... go to the VideoHelp link in my notes and look for a program to convert... but do be aware that converting from a HIGHLY compressed viewing format back to an editing format is going to cause a drop in quality
The only SD (Standard Def) files that Premiere really likes are DV AVI type 2

Imported mpeg videos change resolution.

I am importing mpeg videos to the project on PP 7.2.1 (4) under Windows 7 and they seem to change resolution and aspect ratio. Not sure if there is a setting that can be changed to override the aspect ratio and resolution when importing videos to the project ? Otherwise the video plays fine despite looking a little bit strange with this new aspect ratio of 1.1851.
The original video stream is (according to mediainfo):
Format                                   : MPEG Video
Format version                           : Version 2
Format profile                           : Main@Main
Format settings, BVOP                    : Yes
Format settings, Matrix                  : Custom
Format settings, GOP                     : M=3, N=15
Duration                                 : 44s 478ms
Bit rate mode                            : Variable
Bit rate                                 : 9 071 Kbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 8 900 Kbps
Width                                    : 720 pixels
Height                                   : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
Standard                                 : NTSC
After importing it to the project the properties are:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
Does anybody know if this can be corrected somehow?
Thank you

Thank you - I went through the tutorials and I think I am running into a different issue (at least this is how ti looks).
The original video when opened in source monitor (before importing it into the project) shows properties of:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
and this is before importing it to the project just opening it in the monitor. Not sure what to think of it the video shows everywhere as 720*460 (16:9), when I click properties in windows in various media players and in MediaInfo but for some reason PP sees it as 540*480 (1:1851).
Thank you

Having trouble importing mpeg videos from an external hard drive to iMovie or iPhoto. Keeps saying unrecognizable format. How do I get it to work?????

I have always had a dell computer. But after the 3rd crash, we decided to throw it out and get a mac. We bought this computer a week ago. I was able to save all our family pics and videos from the dell to an external hard drive. So when I got the new Mac set up, I plugged the hard drive in and had no problem importing all our pictures. But when I tried to import our videos, I ran into some problems. We have had 3 different cameras with each having a different video format. All our videos are either avi, mpeg, or mov. All the avi videos imported successfully but the others will not. I tried importing them into imovie and iphoto and neither one will recognize the format. iphoto says unrecognizable format and imovie just completely freezes and I have to force quit. Here is what is funny. I took the hard drive to my local store and when they hooked it up to their computer, they imported beautifully. Why won't it do the same for my brand new computer? Thanks!

New problem importing photos videos

since I upgraded my iphone 5 to ios7, I having a problem importing photos and videos to my pc? I have Windows 7. Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?

Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
This is what you need to do:
open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!

I got problem watching MPEG videos on my 8900

Hey guys,
I have problems opening up .mpeg videos which i have transfered over. Just wondering if anyone has the same problem? Or maybe would provide the solutions?
Appreciate the help here.
warmest regards
James

Hi there!
Can you say more about what type of problem?
For reference, here are the supported media formats:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
It also may have something to do with the method of transfer. I recently learned that not all avi's are alike -- I had use USB tether drag-n-drop to move some avi's over and one would crash my BB at exactly the same place every time. So I then tried Media Manager to move the avi's to my BB and it transcoded them for my BB...and the crashing problem went away.
Hope that helps!

Problems importing .mpeg files

when i import mpeg files into final cut, the video plays, but no sounds come out. so even when i put it into the timeline, there's no audio track. am i doing something wrong?

I thought his question was that his video was playing but he couldn't hear any music, if he downloaded his music from i-tunes which comes in a mpeg-4 file, final cut pro does not support the mpeg-4 he will have to change it over into a aiff file to make it work, I believe that is what he was asking but maybe I am wrong.

Problems importing MPEG 4 video to Ipod

I've converted some video to MPEG4 using Videora, but I cant import it to my ipod. I dont get any error message, but the vicdeo just doesnt appear in my ipod movies. I've done this loads of times before, but never had this problem - any ideas?

do the videos show up in iTunes? If so, did you check every folder in the video section of your iPod? When I tried loading my own video, it only showed up in the "Recently added video" section for some reason.

Imported MPEG video playback problems

Hi,
I have a client whose camera produces MPG video files. When she imports them into Presenter, the resulting video plays back way too fast, with no audio. If she plays the original MPG video on the desktop media player, it plays fine. Anyone with experience with this type of issue?
Thanks,
Ellen

mpeg's I play from dvd's and my sony dvd camera stutter, skip or jump, whatever you want to call it, and audio is out of sink or sometimes isn't even heard!
hmmmm. is there a Conexant AC Link chip on that Dell?
if so, perhaps try the tweak from the following post:

(this may be an issue even for the non-Vista, non-Laptop users, so given your symptoms i think it might be worth a check.)

Problems importing mpegs in PE4

Right... I use Pinnacle Studio Plus to capture mpegs and save these down. Often I need to edit these clips.
I try and import them into Premier Elements to edit and they are just plain green videos with the sound. If I play the video clip in windows media player there is no problem.
Please can someone explain why this happens?

Problems importing PPT videos into iMovie

Hello -
I consider myself a pretty computer literate person, but I'm afraid I'm stumped with my current problem.
I need to import a Power Point Presentation into iMovie so I can record video of myself speaking over the presentation. I found many bits of helpful advice about how to do this. Apparently, the steps should be as follows:
1) Time out your PPT presentation as needed.
2) Save the PPT presentation as a movie (MOV) file.
3) Convert the file into a format iMovie can read with a converter like MPEG Streamclip or MacX Free iMovie Video Converter.
4) Import the new file into iMovie.
All sounds good, but I have a problem with step 3. After the file has been converted, the resulting video cuts off the first slide and the time it should have taken. This happens with both the converters (listed above) I tried. So, I thought I would just add some time to the PPT presentation and it would be ok, but the same things happens even when I add a minute at the beginning of the video.
I checked the original PPT video file and it looks to be the correct lenght, but the converted versions cut off the beginning of the video.
This is quite odd and I'm stumped. Any ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks!
Kyle

Problem importing home video into iTunes for ipod touch

I recorded my son's marching band concert on a Flip Video camera. I have tried importing it various ways (directly from flip, importing to windows media player, burning it to dvd, putting the file directly into the itunes library folder) but every time I try to either drag and drop or add file to library, nothing happens. Nada. It just doesn't appear. Is there a way to do this?

The file must be an mpeg4 video meeting these standards:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Problems importing a Video

Hallo! I want to put a video(wich i can see with Quick time player) on my ipod and for that I tried to import it to itunes but when i try too import it it comes an error wich says it is an unknown error and on the end (-50. I dont know what that means. maybe I am doing something wrong. please somebody explain me how I can import videos to itunes.

Could be a number of things but most likely if it works on your local machine but not on the server, it's a pathing issue. So you have all your flash related files in the same folder, correct? But are they all in the same folder as the web page? They do not have to be, any of the Flash related files can be in whatever folders you want, just remember to path the elements relative to the Web page, NOT the physical location of the Flash file. From an old post:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do not have to be in the root. But if sticking them in there worked, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths become relative to the Web page on which those Flash files are used. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, etc), the path used inside the .swf to the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the files wherever you want.

Can't import mpeg video - not supported

Production Premium user.
The whole purpose of multitracking against video is useless as I've just found out Audition does not support MPEG MPEG-2.
I went to the Apple site where I was led to believe that buying the
QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Windows
would give me a fix to the QuickTime component - nope - just wasted £15 on an add-on that doesn't work. The player opens and plays as if it were reading the file but no video (black) - and no audio. Apple, please can I have my £15 back?
Anyone else really hacked off with this, especially having sat watching a "Senior Evangelist" gush about how great Audition is for Multitacking against video.

Hey Steve, thanks for your reply, but not to leave you out...
Your comment "...because I don't do video..."
Now here's me thinking that Production Premium with Prem Pro and AE etc was geared toward video editors and video producers like me... So the inclusion of an application like Audition is aimed at a wider market. Hey Ho... Rather like Canon finding that their DSLRs could do HDV video (but not very well) but had other USPs.
Report Back:
<File> <Sequence... Right Click Edit Adobe Audition...Sequence> <Export without or with Preview Video>
Defaults to AVI... AVI if left up to its own render is rubbish - pixilated and low def - especially when you're used to working in HDV. And just try undocking the video panel to a 32-inch plasma - oh no...
Reformatting to H.264 and importing H.264 it just can't handle cross application satisfactorily. Stutter playback - in Audition - and outside using an undocked panel.
I operate i7 hex intel 970 24GB tri channel RAM and 5 drive HDD with SSD OS on Windows 7.
This is just not an application which can claim Multitrack mixing to video sync - okay perhaps in the DV and those early days but not now. Rather reminds me of old high-end audio console digital software - always maintained its not the the software but the user. It rather looks like you development guys just didn't think this was important - well not in the short-term.
Not good enough for my needs. Steve - I don't know what you use Audition for but it's not professsional video applications - as you state. But thank you for replying.
6/10, and only for the fact it tried but fell over.
Edit: Forgot to add I'm also running Nvidia GTX580 1.5GB Video Card.

Problems importing Mpeg 4 files form a Toshiba Camileo Pro into iMovie

Can anyone advise on what I should do. I have purchased a Toshiba Camileo Pro HD. I can import the clips into iPhoto and play them in Quicktime 7.5.
iMovie recognises the camera and can create and play thumbnails of the clips.
However iMovie does not import the clips, giving an error message. Nether can it 'see' the clips in iPhoto.
Any suggestions would be welcome

After looking through Wikipedia I have found the cause of the problem. to quote
"This is limited however by an undocumented restriction on supported codecs. iPhoto uses the QuickTime library and can create thumbnails for all QuickTime supported formats, but most of these cannot be used by iMovie '08. Indeed, even some of the very few formats that iMovie '08 is able to import will not be recognized when they are added to an iPhoto library."
So it seems that I will not be able to use iMovie after all for my camcorder HD video!
Can anyone suggest an (affordable) application that will do what iMovie does?
