Canon IXUS movie playback problem in PremiereCS4+Vista

Posted by John Rowe on January 18, 2009 at 7:07 am

Hi.

I can’t get movies I’ve shot on my Canon Ixus (640×480 30fps) to play back correctly in Premiere CS4 under Vista Ultimate 64bit. The vision plays back at about 2% of the correct speed while the audio plays back at 100% of the correct speed. Very bizarre. Vista’s Media Player plays them back perfectly so it seems to be some pecular problem with Premiere. In Premiere CS3 under XP they play back perfectly.

Any ideas how to fix this in Premiere CS4/Vista?

Thanks,
John

I have the exact same problem. It worked just fine yesterday, but when I opened the same project today, the stuff I’ve already edited still plays up nicely, but everything else plays up at a very slow speed, but the sound is still normal. Very annoying, would be great if anyone could help with this.
Thanks

I managed to sort it out with some help from a friend. It was a problem with my codecs. I had installed a codecpack, k-lite, that included a codec that thought it could play my mjpgs, but really couldn’t. So I uninstalled the pack and downloaded Morgan Multimedia Codec instead, at it worked like a charm.

Thanks, where did you download the Morgan Multimedia CODEC from? I’ve getting malware warnings when I go to morgan-multimedia.com.

Also how did you determine which codec was the problem?

Thanks,
John

Very strange, I get the same warning now, didn’t say anything when I was there a couple of days ago. But you can get it from here aswell, https://www.download.com/Morgan-Multimedia-MJPEG-Codec/3000-2169_4-10541842.html
And you only need the free version to play files, you just need to pay if you want it to convert files to it.

And this, https://www.headbands.com/gspot is a good program for determining what codecs are needed to play a file. You just start it and drag and drop the file in the box and you get a detailed report what codec it uses or is needed to be played. There I got information that a codec included in K-Lite was used to play my mjpg.

Hope this helps.
