VC-1 codec not supported? Advice on converting m2ts file to supported format

I think maybe Premiere Pro does not support VC-1 encoding. True? False?
There is a favorite old film of mine I wanted to 'fix' by adding the original soundtrack (the remix is horrible) plus the original ending (removed for all Western versions).
Unfortunately the m2ts file crashes Premiere Pro every time I try to import it.
I've been looking at solutions to convert the video to something useable, but so far no luck. It's a 1080p/24 m2ts and obviously I want to keep the quality as is and not degrade it.
Anyway, I thought someone here might have the answer.
I have Adobe CS5 Production Premium and I am on a PC.
I do have DVDfab on my system, if that can be used to convert/transcode. I've no idea.

If you're creating a DVD, there's really no choice of codecs, since DVD video is a very specific and tightly constrained form of MPEG-2 video. MPEG-2 video is highly compressed and is not a high-definition format, so it is absolutely unavoidable that export to DVD video will cause some quality loss. This is true for even professionally created DVDs. There is an MPEG-2 DVD export preset in After Effects that you can choose from the Format menu in the Output Module Settings dialog box.
If, however, you're handing off your video as input to a larger work, and you need to create an intermediate file that preserves all detail for as long as possible in the post-production pipeline, then you should render and export using lossless encoding. My preference for creating losslessly compressed intermediate files from 8-bit-per-channel sources is the PNG video codec in a QuickTime (MOV) container.
See this FAQ entry (and the pages that it links to) for more  information about compression and choosing settings for specific  purposes:

You mentioned "jerky" output. See this FAQ entry for information about losslessly encoded movies and how they are not suited for playback:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684381
Or perhaps the jerkiness is coming from the frame-rate mismatch between your 30fps source and 25fps composition. If so, then frame blending can help.

  • N900 Cannot play media - Audio Codec not supported

    I'm trying to play a radio station on the N900 internet radio but I get the message that the media cannot be played, audio codec not supported. I was able to play the same station on my old N96 and other stations work on the N900.
    Is there something I need to download to sort this out?

    I have converted m2ts files to .mov in streamclip,  for editing in fce 4.0.1. When I drag them into the fce timeline the clips need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 second clip. Is this normal? My OS is 10.6.8. My easy setup in fce is apple intermediate codec 720p30. Any advice to avoid the rendereng would be helpful. Ann

    To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
    If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

    In your reply you stated that iPad microphone is not very sensitive. And that you could hardly hear the play back.
    Are you speaking of a speaker's  nature voice or an individual using an audio system. Also how close were you to the speaker?

  • Convert REM Files to MP3 Format?

    I have downloaded several songs via the Amazon MP3 application on my Blackberry Curve 9300.  Little did I know that the songs were downloaded as rem files and not mp3 format?  I cannot upload the files to my desktop or laptop computers nor my Kindle. 
    Amazon said since I downloaded most of the songs over 3 months ago, they cannot move them over to my Cloud Player.  How do I convert rem file to mp3 format?  I do not want to have to purchase these songs again.

    That process above won't work. Waste of time.
    Your files were downloaded as MP3 files, but you have content encryption placed on your Media Card, and then the REM extension is added to the filename, because you have protected those files.
    You must turn off the encryption first, and then you can copy the files and they will be usable.

    YOGenereally, you shouldn't convert from a lossy format AAC or MP3) to another lossy fomrat.
    It's called loss because you lose information when you convert it.
    If you only use these files on the computer and the iPod, I'd recommend AAC. Better quality at same bit rate as MP3.

  • Convert gzip files into XML format

    We have a requirement where we receive gzip files. These files are zipped file containing base64 binary format csv files. We would have to convert these files into XML format. Please let me know any of the following.
    1. Is there any Xpath query or XSL function (somthing similar like doTranslateFromNative() ) to convert from gzip files to XML format.
    2. If we need to unzip the zipfile outside fusion, then java code piece to unzip the gzip file. I guess after that we can use the usual doTranslateFromNative() function to translate to XML format, since after unzipping the gzip file, they are base64 binary formats.
    Thanks in advance,
    Toms

    There is an option to do pre-processing and post processing of Files when using File adapter. You need to create a valve which will first do pre processing and send the output to FileAdapter.
    You can get more information here:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#CACDHGGG
    under section: 4.2.14 Pre-Processing and Post-Processing of Files
    Essentially you will use Java to unzip the file first and then the unzipped content will be passed to the adapter.

  • I messed up:  codec not supported

    I am studying Itallan. I found my way to Italian TV and radio stations on the web and had them playing just fine in Safari. When I clicked on the <Link to Video> on the page in Safari, Windows Media Player launched and I could watch the video and listen to the audio just fine, or in the case of radio programs, just listen to the audio.
    Then I did something stupid.
    I thought I'd try and download some freeware with which to record these programs and move them to my iPod for use in the car.
    I tried a couple of freeware apps, none seemed to work well, so I trashed them.
    When I went back to the Italian web page, clinked on <Link to video>, the video launched and there was no audio. Just as the Windows Media Player opened the file, it warned: This file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported.
    I then tried to open some humorous .wmv files I had saved months ago to my HD. When I launched them, same thing. Video plays but no audio. I tried some of my saved .mpg files. Same thing. Video's fine; no audio.
    When I click on the Italian radio stations in Safari, they stations will not play and the Status Bar notes: One error opening the page: choose Activity from Window menu. Activity noted, inter alia, in red: Plug-in cancelled.
    Checked my Audio preferences, all is fine and I have my system beep, tunes play in iTunes, etc.
    I backed up before I began playing around so whichever file or plug-in went AWOL, I should be able to get it from my backup.
    When I logged out then into a new user account and tried to go to the Italian sites, exact same thing happened. Video, but no audio.
    Help...I need to get this working so I can get on with my Italian studies.
    Many thanks for saving me from my own stupidity.
    bob

    I solved my own problem.
    I remembered that a few months back I had a similar problem, this time not associated with the installation of any new software. I was directed to an Apple Knowledgebase article on what to do when this happens.
    The solution, then and this time around, was to go to Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder and check the Audio Output Source settings.
    Both times, mine had been reset from 44100.0Hz to something much higher.
    When I reset it to 44100, all was well again.
    Thanks for replying, nonetheless...bob

  • Mts codec not supported

    working on doing some Color correction for an indy feature and I got the files today and when I open the project in PP CC2014 I get an error that .mts codec is not supported.  Any Ideas what I can do?
    Thanks
    Darren

    The weird thing is The production company that filmed the feature did all their editing on Premier 6. I think they had to upgrade to cc 2014 so they could export the project for me with out crashing.  Now I have the drive that they went through project manager to make a copy of and I can't get it to recognize the file codec. 
    I think it was a sony DSLR not sure which one but I can find out.
    Thanks for your quick response!!
