  • AVCHD import problems (no video, audio only)

    Posted by Eric Vinyard on January 17, 2013 at 2:29 pm

    CS 5.5.2
    Windows 7 64-bit

    I have some m2ts files ripped from a single Blu-Ray that I was having problems with. I noticed some of them weren’t playing in WMP, and when attempting to import into premiere, they register as audio files.

    I installed the Shark007 codecs on my system (after clearing out the K-lite installation) and now the files play in WMP, but will still not import properly into Premiere.

    I even tried unchecking the option to disable FFDshow in various programs.

    It seems that it’s only the higher resolution files that aren’t importing as video. All of them are AVCHD.

    Never install codec packs.
    Codec pack overwrite the good codecs that come with windows or Premiere.
    Only install the codec you do not have on your machine e.g. mjpeg.
    FFDShow can cause problems with Adobe software.
    Only way to get rid of that is a reinstall of Windows.

    You… should probably not ever give advice to anyone. Ever.

    I can understand conflicts with software, but I don’t know of any sources that say codec packs irrevocably overwrite essential Windows files.

    That being said, I’m fairly certain this is not my problem – from what I’ve read, Blu-Ray files use something that Windows thinks is AVCHD but is actually not, and which is also unsupported by Premiere. And, as it turns out, Vegas as well, I guess. I can’t for the life of me imagine why.
