THE FILE HAS AN UNSUPPORTED COMPRESSION TYPE

Hello frnds,
I am having an issue here in Premiere pro CS5. In CS5 new features they said we can import DVD format files into premiere pro CS5 without converting into any format but when I import my DVD files it gives me an error message saying that: THE FILE HAS AN UNSUPPORTED COMPRESSION TYPE.
Is there anyway I can sort this problem? pls help me....

Are they on your hard drive(cause running from DVD is begging for trouble)? what size are they? and what was the source you got them from? If all else fails, just convert em over(I hate working outside of the standard formats).
LOL harm asked the essential question..

  • PPro CC says "the file has an unsupported compression type" in one project only - .mts files

    Had to re-install Ppro CC to alleviate some plugin issues. Now, one of my projects that is comprised mostly of AVCHD files(.mts) are offline, and when I attempt to relink, I get the "the file has an unsupported compression type" message. But, all other projects with the same file types are fine.
    I can open another project, or start a new one, and import the .mts files from the errant project with no problem. I have also tried importing the errant project into a new project. I have trashed preferences. I have signed out of CC, then signed back in.
    I'm at a loss of what else to try. Any ideas?

    Ah well...
    This forum has the same effect that my father did when I was a kid. As soon as I posted the above, I tried to open the errant project again, and the .mts files are now online. Same as my Dad and my car - it would be broken, and all he'd have to do is climb in and crank it, and I'd look like an idiot.

  • Error: "file has an unsupported compression type" importing stills

    Hi,
    I have Creative Cloud subscription.  Trying to import files I have saved from Photoshop into Premiere Pro CC  Tried saving them as JPEG and as TIFF, big and small files but never is able to import.  How do I solve this so I can use those pictures?

    Make sure they are RGB format and not CMYK mode

  • Updated to 2014.2 all AVCHD files - mts - missing, unsupported compression type error?

    Anyone have a clue here? Just updated from 2014.0 when it started crashing with backend dll error. Plus, lost all my Sapphire and Universe plug-ins despite Adobe's promise they'd work.
    time to roll back again?

    Hi Videowilk,
    I already responded to your other post.

    Did you update a project file before delivering that project? My feeling is that you should have not updated any projects to a new version. Stay in 2014.0 until it is complete.
    Or is this a brand new Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2) project?
    Thanks,

  • AVCHD "unsupported compression type" ???

    I just moved a large project from one system to another and all of a sudden all the AVCHD media shows up as offiline. Other media in the project that came in as .mov files shows up fine.
    When I try to relink the missing clips, I keep getting a "the file has an unsupported compression type" dialog. I created a test project and can import the AVCHD media into it and work with it on this system. But my original project will not link to the same media on the system.
    I also deleted the media cache and media data folders. But that doesn't help either.
    Meanwhile I can go back to the original system and the project and AVCHD files will open fine.
    Both systems are i7 iMacs and the media is accessed from a shared server which we've been using this way without a problem for 3 months.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?
    Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Vinay!
    That works! I moved the .mts files into their own folder outside of the PRIVATE/AVCHD folder and they will now link to the clips in the timeline.
    So for future reference I assume we should pull the media out of the AVCHD folder structure, correct?
    The only thing is ... it appears that I have to relink them one clip at a time. I have the relink automatically button checked, but it doesn't seem to be working. It's going to be a long afternoon if that's the case. Any thoughts on that?
    Thanks again for the help and rapid response!

  • Problems started with 'Corrupted Project' and has led to 'Unsupported Compression Type" for certain .mts files

    Had to revisit several projects that were working this past January, but now several are reporting as being 'corrupted'. After trying all of the usual recommended remedies, and failing, I attempted what is always my 'last resort' - Trashing Preferences. Last resort because it has always in recent versions, led to other problems. This time was no exception. Now, not only did trashing them NOT solve my corrupt project issue, but it added a couple more. Now, MB Looks plugin can't be seen, which has happened nearly every time I've trashed preferences, and certain .mts files are showing as being the dreaded 'Unsupported compression type', while many in the same folder are working just fine. This almost always seems to be a license issue of some sort. I have signed out of CC, then signed back in to no avail. My short term memory is nearly gone, but I seem to recall a similar set of occurrences a few months ago, and a uninstall/re-install was required to bring everything back to normal. This is getting quite old, as am I.

    Working with Adobe Support via chat at the moment. Their solution? - Contact Red Giant.

  • File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type!

    I completed editing my movie about two weeks ago did all the colour correction audio etc last week, and aim to complete the sutitling tomorrow!
    But now the problem is that my some of my files are now offline and can't be relinked because I get an error message which says "File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type"
    These files are .MTS which I believe are AVCHD.
    So I don't know what has happenned here. Is it the recent update that has caused this or something else?

    This have happend to me twice now.
    If I remember correctly it have to do with Cloud membership in my case. Both times I have been away on work and when I get home I have a email stating that payment have failed. After I set it right I start up Premiere and I get this failure.
    First time the solution was uninstall Everything Adobe and run clean script. Reinstalling did the trick.
    That solution is not working in the long run.
    Here Adobe needs to do something soon!

  • "the file has an un-supported compression type"  appears today after updating Premiere Pro CC

    Started computer, Opened up TX ATTO project today and portions of an existing project is off line after project opens, and does not ask you to relink as it is opening.
    A segment of a sequence in the timeline is Off Line. Go to Relink, then find clip, select, then “the file has an un-supported compression type” appears as you select the correct clip to “relink”. Will not let you relink. Fun Fun
    I did nothing but edit yesterday and e-mail. Nothing new or opened, except update CC PP. The clips that it need to link with are there.

    MTS files, from a SONY FS100 camera. First time we have seen this occurrence with multiple boxes running PP CC.
    I tried some just basic tests.
    It was only one clip. So I copied it to the desk top, renamed it something different and it relinked that specific clip thru the entire timeline. Weird. Something with the clip name with in the project got corrupt, because even the specific back up  of the RAW media clip on our server said the exact same error.
    Problem solved.
    Thank you for responding!

    What's the name of the file you are attempting to open?  Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"?  If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension.  Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

  • How do I view downloaded content when the error message, not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged, shows up?

    I trying to download a book as a pdf to view through my adobe reader. But every time I do I keep getting the same error message saying that the file is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged it can't be opened or viewed. What do I do and how do I get it to work. Because as of now I only have one option of downloading the book and I've tried to download the app notable pdf to see it that worked but it didn't either. As of right now I'm using google chrome but I also tried using Safari but it's still not working. I have a Mac with a Mac OS X updated system. I need an answer ASAP. Can anyone help me?

    I have the same issue.  Almost none of the PDFs I download from Safari browser can be opened. Same message about the file being damaged or not really a true PDF.  Neither of these are the issue here. Size of file is not an issue. I have Acrobat Reader XI so I believe that's pretty up to date.  If I open with Text Editor the file is blank.  any ideas?
