Windows XP - Elements 1.0 and MPG files

When I add MPG file to the Media window in Elements and then double click on them they play perfectly including the audio. When I drag them to the Timeline the video plays but there is no audio. AVI files work perfectly.
Possible operator error.
Any help would be appreciated.

James,
You have posted in a Photoshop Elements forum, but I think that your question is about Premiere Elements 1 so I recommend that you post on its forum at

Trouble playing .avi and .mpg files

I'm about ready to throw my Panasonic HDC-TM15 out the window.
I used the camera memory to shoot video files and then uploaded those files onto my work computer, which is an HP. The files came in as .m2ts which would only play in the Panasonic video-editing software. Through this software I was able to convert the files to .mpg.
I decided I wanted to use my new Mac Book Pro to edit the video files so I moved all the files (both .mpg and .m2ts) to an external hard drive and then plugged that into my MacBook. However, the files will not play through quicktime at all. I tried opening some old .avi files and that won't play either.
I'm really fed up and I don't understand why these files (.mpg, .m2ts, .avi) will not play on my macbook. Any suggestions?

Both MTS and MPG files are variations of MPEG; .mts is typically an MPEG-2 Transport Stream while .mpg is typically an MPEG-2 Program Stream (but not always). So you're essentially converting from one MPEG format into another and obviously that doesn't help.
As Jeremy Hansen already suggested, try using MPEG Streamclip (freeware) along with Apple's QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99 USD) to convert the original MTS files into a codec that your system can play/work with.
Jeremy is also correct about .avi files. AVI is merely a container; the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs, not all are available for a Mac. You could try downloading Perian ( http://perian.org/ ) to see if the added codecs from that package will let you play and/or convert some of the AVI files.

Which is the better converter for mts and mpg files?

Ok, I just have a quick question regarding conversion software. Does anyone know which is better...PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP2? Besides the cost...pavtube is cheaper. Which one is faster and offers the best quality? OR is there even a better one out there? I have mts files and mpg files I'd like to convert for use in FCP 6.

ClipWrap2.

Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
(0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
anything at the moment.
Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?
Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

QuickTime 7.7.1, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer, and .mpg files

After updating QuickTime to 7.7.1, QuickTime runs whenever I click on a .mpg file in Internet Explorer, under Windows Vista.
The last time this happened I had to go into QuickTime>Edit>Preferences>QuickTime Preferences>Browser>Mime Settings and uncheck the MIME association to .mpg files.
This time with QuickTime 7.7.1, clicking on MIME Settings just opens up Windows Default Programs association window, not the Quicktime MIME associations. .mpg is unchecked, and Windows Media Player is associated with .mpg. All file types that are checked for QuickTime are grayed out, and cannot be unchecked.
Any ideas?

Solution found:
After making sure Windows Media Player is the default player in Windows Default Programs for file types .mp3 and .mpg, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Set Programs>Set program access and computer defaults>Custom>Choose a default media player: Then click on Windows Media Player radio button.
In Customs, you have to either click on the word Customs or click on the down arrows to the far right of Customs to expand the choices, and find "Choose a default media player:"
You will also have to be logged in as Administrator or have the Admin password to reset this choice.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - missing and relinking files

I have adobe premiere elements 10 and I am hoping someone can please help me with an issue I am having with unlinked files.
The problem: somehow the files in adobe premiere elements organizer have lost the link w/ the originals. Whether I manually search or allow premiere elements to search, I am unable to relink the files. I thought I had the original file structure from the camera (Canon Vixia; file structure AVCHD - BDMV - STREAM - then there are the files). However all that is in the original file structure are the .xmp files (not the .MTS files like there normally are) I will be honest and say that the computer files did get rather disorganized w/ multiple copies of things (I was having issues w/ converting files w/ the mac, and I used a duplicate finder to find duplicates about a year ago and deleted what I thought were multiple copies of things). Then left the project alone, and now trying to reorganize the videos and make a DVD.
The goal: relink the files
The importance: Everything links up except for about 4-5 months worth of videos. Which happen to be the videos of my 2nd child's birth (her first moments in the hospital, first bath, first Christmas, first everything!) So this is extremely important to me that I find the files and relink them.
What I've done: Manually searched the mac, the backup drive and the cloud backup. No luck. I also had adobe premiere elements search - no luck. I have used the mac search function looking for key words and later the file name (which shows up in Adobe premiere elements organizer - but it has the little yellow question mark prompting me to relink the files - then I can't find the original to link it to).
Fingers are crossed: that someone can tell me there is something I can do with these .xmp files to relink them? Anything that can be done at all? The premiere elements organizer even shows a picture of what the video is - not just a blank gray screen - where is it pulling these images from if they don't exist on the computer somehow?
I've learned my lesson on keeping original files separate, but please help me save and preserve my daughter's precious first memories!
Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for your reply.
-When I right click the thumbnail in Elements Organizer & go to "show properties", I see a picture of a folder and the file structure where it should be found (Macintosh HD/Users/ourfirstlastname/Videos/09 30/ 12/ ). When I follow that file structure on our macintosh HD, there is no "videos" folder in the hard drive. As a side note, the file name in Elements is 00029.MTS so it is trying to find the MTS file.
-Yes, I have Premiere elements 10, working on a mac and I work with Elements Organizer 10 as well
-Yes, the problem is that I can't find on the computer hard drive the originals for those 4-5 months of videos. All that is there is the XMP files (which dates match what I'm looking for). There aren't any .mts files that match the dates anywhere to be found. It is unfortunately very possible I over-did it with cleaning but I really am holding out hope that I'm just looking in the wrong spot. I am pretty proficient on a PC but unfortunately rather new to the mac and was holding out hope that they are hidden somewhere and it's just user error that I can't find them.
-I don't actually have a project that is missing files - it's just missing in the elements organizer. I had not yet started the 2012 project yet. I was attempting to start the project this evening when I discovered that the files I had put in organizer months ago were not linking correctly. When I click on files that are present (basically some files after November 2012) and follow the link, I am able to find them (.MTS files and some .MOV files) in the hard drive.
-I very well could have renamed source media files and folders and likely moved them around. I feel like they would have to be somewhere for there to be an image on the Premiere elements organizer (image w/ little yellow question mark on it) - unless that image is part of the .xmp file?
-I do not have the original footage on the camera's memory. We only use the internal memory of the camera & transfer to computer & back up - keeping original file structure so I figured that was enough :-( Unfortunately that footage from 2012 is long gone off the camera.
Thanks again for your help. If it was any other footage I'd chalk it up to a lesson learned, but those first moments of my daughter's life are super important so I hope I can figure this out!

PLEASE HELP! iMovie and .MPG Files

Hello. Please help me. I'm on a G5. 10.5.3. iMovie 7.1.2 (577) I have a series of .MPG files that I need to import into iMovie to edit, arrange and then export over to iDVD, etc. iMovie does not see the .MPG files. The Apple site states that iMovie sees only MPEG-4 files and DV files. I also own Quicktime Pro 7.5 (149.5). When I open the .MPG file in Quicktime Pro, even though the file plays perfectly, when I select "Export to MPEG-4" so I can create a readable file by iMovie, I get an error message that say's "Failed: Export process terminated unexpectedly (10). Complete frustration. Is there another way I can convert these files so iMovie can see them? What's wrong with my Quicktime Pro? I bought DivX Pro last night. I thought maybe that program would make an iMovie readable file. No luck. I used DivX to convert and it created a DivX file with NO SOUND. Wasted money.
If anyone has any solutions for my problems noted here or possible alternatives so I can achieve what I'm trying to do successfully, PLEASE ADVISE as soon as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and THANKS, in advance, for your help.

I'm still wondering why QT Pro is failing to convert with that error message.
Well, if the video codec used in the .MPG container is MPEG2, QuickTime cannot export with a source of this format; it can only play it.
I remember reading about the reason for Apple doing this, and I forgot exactly why it is, but I think it had something to do with some legal issue. I also read that this is why Mac OS has a separate DVD Player instead of just playing DVDs right inside of QuickTime.

Are operating files only within Windows (C:) or are Word and Excel files ok in Documents and (C:) folders in 8.1?

A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
correct default and how to make it so.
Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.

Hi, Tyro.
What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
Here are some ideas:
Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

HT3775 Does anyone know how to get .mts files and mpg files to work in final cut express?

I am trying to import footage from a cannon xa10 but it wont come up in final cut express. The only files I have managed to get off the sd card are either .mts or .mpg files and these won't import into final cut. Any suggestions?

Barney & cjnz11, are you importing AVCHD lite?
FCE doesnt play nice with AVCHD lite with the Standard plugins, imovie on the other hand does (go figure) there is a fix for this.
1. Open the Final Cut Express.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content'. At Contents/Plugins you find a folder called: "AVCHD.RADPlug". compress this and keep it safe (Just incase)
2. Now Open the iMovie.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content' At Contents/RADPlugins there is a folder called "AVCHD.RADPlug". Copy that folder to where you found the folder with the same name inside the Final Cut Express.app
After that you will be able to Log & Transfer AVCHD Lite with in FCE instead of the imovie import and XML export method.

Importing MPEG and MPG files

You'll get a ton of ideas from others so, by no means, don't think that mine will solve your issue. I, personally have fallen in love with [StreamClip|http://www.squared5.com>. It does a ton of stuff.
As for your Error 10, hopefully that's just an "out of space" (on your drive) error and not an I/O error (a problem with the drive reading/writing)
But, you said you have Quicktime Pro and you're going to iMovie so I'd try to make your .MPG files a DV Stream...I think that's what I movie likes.
Anyway try that,
Tom

Can't import mov and mpg files into cs5.5

Hi
When I import a mpg file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
There was an erro decompressing audio or video
When I import a mov file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
Importer reported a generic error.
Good news is, that I have simply imported both files in the past without any troubles. So I hope it is something very simple.
Maybe I have somewhere codec installed in the past (k-light) and something now doesn't work that well anymore.
But I don't know if I have done this anymore and a desktop search didn't deliver me any results.

I've installed Premiere Pro now on a different windows7 platform.
Still the same. Can't import the mpg file. Somehow the mov file works here so that is something.
Anyway I thought maybe it is helpful to share some data about the video:
Container:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
Audio:
AC3
0xbd[0x80]:48000Hz 256 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot)
Video:
Codec MPEG2 Name MPEG-2
Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot).

FCE and mpg files

Hi folks,
I recorded video on a Sony SR-7 camcorder using the SD HQ setting. It comes out as an .mpg video file. I found i cannot import these video files into FCE 4.0 natively.
Do any of you have a suggested workaround for this problem? I have tried importing into imovie, but when i use those files in FCE, the quality is crappy. I tried using the TMPGE converter on a PC to mpeg-4 and avi, but none of those looked right when imported into FCE, maybe because i did it on a PC?
Any help would be very much appreciated. I would love it if FCE 4.0 just imported the SD HQ mpg files natively!
thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, FCE does not work with MPEG files. Do not use iMovie as a convertor, as it will decrease the quality substantially.
The best thing to do would be to first convert your MPEG files into something FCE can work with such as DV. You can do this with a program such as the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com>.

How do I compress .mov and .mpg files

I have several mpg1video clips at 18.8MB each, how do I compress them into smaller files. I want to e-mail them at about 2-3MB each, and maintain good quality? Power Mac G5 2.3 OSX 10.4.4 My objective is to upload 30 second video commercials and 2-3 minute clips to my web site or e-mail them to various clients. Need help.
Thanks,
morris1

For most users just using a browser other than Safari solves the trouble.
When I encounter pages that don't show the Pro "pull down" (right end of the controller) I simply Control click on the video window to bring up the contextual menu.
