Won't display mpeg, mov, avi correctly

Hello all.
I am using CS4.
I've had this same issue the entire time I've had CS4, but I thought I'd ask on here.
I see lots of people have different issues with different file types, but I can't seem to find a standard answer.
My issues is that my premiere will import, and play, mpeg, mov, and avi, HOWEVER, I get the following issues:
#1: Red "flashes". Every few seconds, the video will flash red (like one giant colour matte over the entire thing). It's just a flash, but makes it impossible to use the footage.
#2: Sometimes it will play mov without the flash, but doesn't give me a separate audio track to work with (this doesn't concern me too much as I rarely work with mov - mostly just when using footage off my canon non video camera, but if there's a solution, I wouldn't mind hearing it).
The only file type it will play without any issues is wav (oddly enough). On the other hand, these tend to be pixelled (although I don't know if this issue is the wav file, or that I used DVD shrink to capture the video from DVD - I make fan videos. I convert the video files from DVD shrink to mpeg, or whatever else, via Prism).
I can also play mts files from my Sony camcorder without any issues at all.
Someone suggested the issue may be that I also have Roxio installed on the computer (and it was installed first) and told me only one or the other can play these file types (Roxio has no issues). But I'd like to avoid having to uninstall and reinstall everything (and I do use Roxio to make DVDs, as I haven't learned Encore yet).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
All the DVDs in question are official DVDs bought from stores. These aren't bootleg DVDs.
Yes, sorry, wmv. (Pixelled example at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEKlJ16-vo4 @ 0:33. You'll note the clips before these two don't have that same pixel issue - it seems random, but even if I import the episode again, the same eps will always pixel. Even when another ep from the same disc does not. Again, official DVDs, not bootlegs).
I've tried to import them as the vob files, but they wouldn't import.
Is CS4.2 an upgrade, or something I have to purchase?
I didn't really understand your article as to how it relates to this matter (as in, suggestions of what I can do to fix the problem).
But your answer only seems to speak to vob files. It doesn't explain why I have issues with the other files. I have these issues whether it's the original video file type (ex: downloaded from a camera), a download from youtube (quicktime), avi download from ANYWHERE, or burned myself with DVD shrink from an actual DVD (from the store) and converted (I use Prism).
The files play, and have audio. They just have this annoying red flash.
Ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op3khVVS6ig @ 2:53ish. Right as the red lightning in the shot ends, you'll see the red flash I'm talking about. This video was made entirely from footage downloaded from youtube, and was then converted to wmv after I saw the quicktime files were glitching (the example is one I didn't bother to convert since it sort of worked with the shot, so I decided not to bother).

ITunes store for iPad won't display the movies / tvshow taps

My iPad iTunes store will not display the (movies , tv show, music) taps at the end of the screen.

Howard-
Could you have used a different computer to do the initial setup of your iPad? If so, the other computer's Apple ID may be what the iTunes store is looking for.
To get around that, you may need to connect to your computer that has the correct ID and restore from iTunes. In the worst case, you might need to reset the iPad to factory settings by erasing all data, and then set it up as new.

IMovie won't import MPEG movies from Sony Handycam

My Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 is connected to my Macbook pro via USB. After clicking iMovie's File Import, I can see the "No Name" device as well as the various mpg files that I want to import. The mpg files correctly show the date created, file size, etc. However, the mpg files are grayed-out and I cannot select them to import. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have exactly the same issue. I think that iMovie must have a limitation on the length of the clip you can import. My 45 minute clip will play with VLC, but won't import inot imovie.

HT2729 What video formats (avi, MPEG, MOV, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without adding some kind of converter? Any? how?

What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter? Are there any? How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG? When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)

What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter? Are there any?
Depends on what compressed data is in the AVI, MPEG, or MOV file container. E.g., assuming you are using the QT X v10.2 player listed in your hardware profile, a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 MPEG file will probably play correctly but an MPEG-2/MP2 or MPEG-2/PCM MPEG file may be problematic. In a similar manner, a Motion-JPEG/WAV AVI file probably won't play the video but play the audio while a DV audio/video AVI file will probably still play correctly.
How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?
Agian, it depends on what you mean by an MPEG file here. A "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file in an MPEG, MPG, TS, or MOV file container should play correctly while the same data in a VOB file container will neither load nor play. Further, this file is not only playback compatible with the QT X v10.2 player but is now conversion compatible to H.264/AAC MOV files on my system which was a surprise to me. On the other hand, if the MPEG file contains MPEG-2 video muxed with MP2 audio (a common PC compression combination), the file will likely have audio/video sync problems and/or freeze up entirely. However, this latter file plays back correctly and without problem in QT 7 with the Apple QT MPEG-2 playback component installed. (For the moment I assume the new support capabilities, as well as, the latest audio problems here may be associated with the system audio upgrades begun in Lion and completed in Moutain Lion.)
When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)
QT is in the process of being totally re-written. Unfortunately, the addition of new capabilities comes at the expense of making the "new" QT structure less and less compatible with legacy compression formats and file containers and likely signals the eventual end of QT 7 and its "Pro" capabilities in favor of higher definition, more efficient compression technologies.

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Won't display table correctly; shows OK in IE all versions

Table won't display correctly in Firefox; deletes first <tr>...</tr> section, shifts 2nd <tr>...</tr> section to right. The table shows correctly in all IE versions.

You should never use multiple hyphens in a comment.
Firefox will toggle the comment state after every two hyphens (--), so you need a lot of luck with this many as here:
<pre><nowiki>
</nowiki></pre>
Firefox treats the code that follows as comment until the next two "--" found in the next section. You can see that via View > Page Source as green comment.
<pre><nowiki>
</nowiki></pre>
You're code shows here an extra empty <nowiki><td></nowiki> that causes an empty column to appear at the left if that is what you mean.

Movie in Mpeg or AVI format

Hello,
I am a first time user of this forum.
I made a small slideshow/movie in iMovie to be shown during an upcoming church service and burned it in iDVD. The fellow responsible for the presentation would like the movie in either Mpeg or AVI format. He will loose too much picture quality if he transfers from the DVD. I can not find how to do this with my computer.

If you have QuickTime Pro, you should be able to create a .avi file from the File->Share... menu item in iMovie. From the "share" dialog, pick "QuickTime" across the top, and select "Expert Settings" from the drop-down menu for "Compress movie for:", then click "Share".
Once you get that, you'll be presented with a dialog from QTPro that will ask you where you want to save it and, in the bottom, there will be two drop-downs for "Export:" and "Use:". Click on the "export:" drop-down and you'll be presented with all your export choices--hopefully among that will be AVI. Mine has MPEG-4, but I'm not sure if that's what your presentation person means when they say "MPEG".
Good luck!

Movie artwork won't display in home share on iPhone

I just finished encoding a bunch of my movies and using MetaX to quickly add all the meta tags (most specifically the artwork). I imported these movies to iTunes and everything has been great. Again, most importantly, the art work was showing on my iPhone (via home sharing) and Apple TV.
I had to restart my computer soon after importing the movies and now the art work won't show up for any of the movies on my iPhone (Apple TV is fine). I just get a still shot as the picture so I have no idea which video is which unless I tap the still shot and it'll have the title. Oddly enough, the art work shows up in this same place (above the title) but it won't show up at the main page which shows all my videos.
I just checked my wife's iPad and it's working fine there. I tried rebooting the phone, closing all apps and rebooting the computer again. Any other suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem. I'm not creating the podcasts, but I am trying to view one that has chapter artwork. The podcast is "gdgt weekly" which you can download through the iTunes store.
The chapter artwork displays just fine on my iPhone, but won't display in iTunes 9, yet I can click on the Chapters menu and see small thumbnails of the chapter artwork.
How do I get the chapter artwork to display in the main window during playback of the podcast.

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G) is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

MPEG movies that played on my G4 won't open.

Since getting my new Mac Pro, I am having trouble playing MPEG movies. I had QT Pro and the QT 6 MPEG-2 PLayback Component on my previous machine. (G4 - OS 10.3.9) I installed the Playback Component on this machine. And I entered my Pro registration for QT 7.1.3 on this machine. So I am running QT 7 Pro. And I see the MPEG-2 Playback Component in my Sys-Lib-QT folder. But there are movies that will not play; yet, oddly, if I open my older QT 6.5.2 (still sitting on my hard drive) it does play the file. Can anyone help me understand this?

In the Discussion forums I see that I could be able to download an updated version for my new MacPro but my original purchase is not even listed. Here is my receipt. How do I get the Playback Component for QT 7; OS 10.4.7, for the Mac Pro?
