Making Main Concept Work
My camera is a Sony Handycam DVD(100), PP does not capture this camera but Sony has it’s own capturing program. Once it’s captured you have to import the MPEG-2 clips to PP. Looking for a program to help with the MPEG editing problem I’m trying the ‘Main Concept MPEG Pro’ plug-in demo for PP. I open a new project with Main Concept and then I start importing the clips and I get no sound and choppy video. This is where I need the help. What is it that I am not doing right?
Thanks,

I’m not sure, but don’t you have to render MPEG2 files? Is there a red line on the timeline? (Hit the enter key to render).

No. No red line. Pushing enter only ran the video without sound.

Phil,
Can you give us a little more info regarding the MPEG file? I have a feeling its something to do with the audio format.

I suspect the audio is Dolby…Premiere wont import that format, nor will Audition. A DVD ripping app like IamToo can rip both audio and video from a DVD into a different format that can be edited, but there will be 2 additional generational losses in quality.
Playing the DVD in Windows Media Player and recording the audio in Audition will result in a quality audio file without generation losses to the video.
Best bet is to capture both audio and video from the camera via an analog/digital converter as digital video…spend the $ on hardware solution, not software…like the ADS Pyro A/V link or Canopus ADVC 100. -
The camera is a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD100 – It records video in MPEG2 and Dolby digital for Audio.
Thanks,
Phil
