Trial Software - Missing codec questions

Currently using PPro 6.5 and tempted to try CS4 and then CS5 when available to test to see if its worth upgrading.
Read on the FAQ - "some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of these products"
First question - What are the titles of the missing codecs if that doesn't just mean the standard mp4/H264 codec which just needs QuickTime to be installed ?
Second - Do any of the old codecs need to be upgraded from the ones I use in Pro 6.5 to use CS4/CS5 - if so which ones need upgrading and to which version ?
My Video cam (Panasonic S15) uses a MPG format (not mp4) so I would like to test the new software versions with correct codec to compare outputs to that of PPro 6.5
Thanks for any help or details you can post

All of the missing MPEG CODEC's should be Adobe MainConcept. I think that all of the included (in the full-paid version) CODEC's are from MainConcept.
If one needs to test with MPEG footage (a very common need), then the 30-day, money-back guarantee is the way to go. One buys the full version, installs it (after first uninstalling any trials and running the appropriate Adobe Clean Scripts several times), tests it for < 30 days, and if it is not what they are looking for, then ship it back and request the full refund.
Good luck, and glad that you at least found the MPEG limitation - too many others do not.

  • Get rid of Microsoft Office trial software

    I purchased a G4 Power Book and it came with a trial period Microsoft Office program. I already own Office and do not need the trial software. But it opens everytime, gives me a message, and lets me know the trial period is over. It over rides my install of Office. How do I get rid of it?

  • Sudden Increase in Missing Codecs

    I have been working on a documentary shot on different media and have never once had a missing codec error.  This past week, after assembling a rough cut of the trailer from all the assorted sequences the 'codec could not be found' error message starts cropping up and is rapidly spreading and I can't determine why or how to fix it.  I have not introduced any new sort of footage the sequences hadn't already had - and what gets me is that previously fine sequences, when I go back to tweak the colour in FCP for example, then have codec errors too. 
    Most of the footage was shot on DV cameras, but it seems to be dogging the clips that are either 720 or 1080p.  I reemphasise these clips have rendered dozens of times before.  I'm drawing a blank on this one.  All suggestions welcome, please, it keeps crashing!

    We are having the same issue with dropped calls.  I have an IPhone 4S and my husband has an IPhone 4.  This has become increasingly worse.  We never had these problems in the past.  We have updated our software and towers but nothing helps.  Something is going on with the signals!

  • The .prel files will not load into premiere elements 13 and says that there is a missing codec. This is a school's site llicense that we've used for more thatn a month.

    The .prel files will not load into premiere elements 13 and says that there is a missing codec. This is a school's site llicense that we've used in our lab for more than a month.

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
    First..
    1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
    3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
    4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
    5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
    13.0 Folder in which it exists.
    But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

    If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Problems mastering to dvd and missing codecs

    I am having problems mastering to dvd with the mpeg 2 dvd option and also missing codecs,anyone can help me? new to cs5 so probably something I am doing wrong when going to export then selecting option mpeg2 dvd and select drive for output,it burns and then wont play back even though its burned okay...using tons dvds and wasting them,and getting rather frustrated...no idea how to use encore yet as in menus and stuff as used the old version of elements and 1.5 before upgrading ...so help me please

    Assuming that you have the full-paid version, and not the trial, look to see if Transfer Activation is grayed out?
    Try Importing a simple MP3 Audio file.
    It sounds like you have experienced the "revert to trial" of the full-paid version, so that you now have zero MPEG-2 support.
    The steps to correct this are:
    1.) Deactivate (probably grayed out)
    2.) Uninstall
    3.) Run Adobe Clean Script CS5 several times, rebooting between each run.
    4.) Install CS5
    5.) Instantly update, before launching
    6.) Activate
    7.) Launch and test.
    Good luck,

  • Missing codec and moving projects between different computers

    Hi,
    Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
    First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
    Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

    See the responses to your duplicate post.
    Cheers

  • Missing Codec in PrE 9, but not 2 or 10?

    I've browsed the forum about missing codecs and AVIs, but I'm still confused. I have an old Canon S3IS that saves video as .AVI. I have no problem using those files in PrE version 2 & 10, but when I try to open them in PrE 9 I get the "not supported or missing codec" message and they won't import. Question: Why does version 2 & 10 work but not 9? ...And what is the easiest fix - download a codec pack or a video converter (hopefully a free one)?
    (Note: Running PrE 2 on WinXP, PrE 9 on Win7x32 Home Premium, and PrE 10 on Win7x64 Ultimate).

    Please do not EVER download a codec pack !!!
    Some people who have done so have then had to wipe their hard drive and install fresh to fix the problems

  • Dolby Advanced Audio Interface software missing HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b003sa

    I updated my HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-boo3sa to windows 8.1 a couple months ago and since then the dolby advanced audio interface software is missing. The speakers are working and sound fine but I just want the option of the equaliser again. I have looked at the drivers available online and the most upto date driver for audio for this laptop is an IDT audio driver from 2012 for windows 8. Is there a more upto date driver that has the interface software? or is it just a case that the software has been removed on the update due to compatability issues? It sounds like dolby advanced audio is still active there is just no interface available as before I updated to windows 8.1. Please help. Thank you.

    Hi Lhawley91,
    I understand you are having issues with the Dolby Advanced Audio Interface software missing HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b003sa. This package contains the driver that enables the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio for Windows 8.1.

  • I recently subscribed to Acrobat XI after the trial expired but when I went to activate it I was asked for the serial number. I only have the order number on the invoice. How do I get the serial number for the trial software that is on my computer?

    Please do not try to send attachments in mail responses to forum messages. Please return to the forum and click Reply. You can then use the CAMERA icon to add your pictures. Looking forward to seeing what is wrong with your license screens - the general advice is simply to sign in, and everything is done. Make sure you use the SAME Adobe ID that you used to purchase, and check your account details to be sure the subscription is active.

  • Paid subscription but account says I have a CC free membership with trial software!!

    Hello, I purchased the $9.99 per month PS & Lightroom bundle at the start of the year and I my payments are current but my PS tells me my trial has expired and it asks me to license my software! It was working fine until about a month ago when it updated and now I get the message I just spoke described. Lightroom works and updates fine! When I go to manage my account it tells me I'm on a Creative Cloud Free membership and I only have access to trial software. Please help!!

    Hey Jeff, I went to the hosts location and there was no hosts file so I did a search and found the below file.
    # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

    I have noticed that I receive my payment receipts through my work email but I believe I'm logged into CC app via my hotmail account. Could this be the problem? I have some pics attached showing what my CC is showing.
    Sorry to be a pain but I'm getting busier with work and this is a major problem which I needed sorted ASAP please!! Hope you can help.

  • Photoshop CC (not a trial) is asking for my Adobe ID, saying it's trial software

    Hi all,
    I've been using Photoshop CC since last August. Suddenly, this morning, opening Photoshop CC requires my Adobe ID; it's telling me that this is required for trial software. Huh? I've been paying every month to get... a trial? This is news to me.  Any idea how to get this to stop?
    OS X 10.9.2; Photoshop CC 14.2.1
    Thanks,
    Peg

    Welcome to the club. The whole CC licensing subsystem is crawling with bugs, and this is one of the most annoying. Which is too bad, because it's a brilliant and very user-friendly system when it works as advertised.
    The CC forum is full of this. The latest official fix seems to be this one. This particular fix is Windows only (didn't help me on Win 7 though). But Macs are affected equally:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
    But the diagnosis given there seems to be correct. I'm signed out whenever I connect a certain external USB drive. So I don't do that, and since I stopped doing it I have remained signed in. Others have been signed out changing network connection. The common element seems to be a slight change in hardware status.
    I'm sitting it out, waiting for an update or a more conclusive fix.
