  • Error decompressing – now AME and Premiere freeze

    Posted by Tannie Low on December 7, 2012 at 9:13 pm

    I’ve always had a problem with codecs. But I’m almost to my ends with trying to import this MPEG2 clip:

    I’m running CS6 and have purchased QuickTime Pro 7.6.6
    Here’s my InstalledCodec report: https://www.secularuh.org/hosted/report.html

    My main problem in troubleshooting this issue is that with such a long list in InstalledCodec, I have no clue what could be causing the problem or where to begin.

    The guy who gave it to me compressed it from a 300GB AVI to this file I have now, but I can’t import it! Please help!

    Don’t ever install codecs, unless absolute needed.
    When installing Premiere it comes with all the codec you need.
    There are a lot of Roxio codec on your machine.
    I am not sure but I think the problem lies in the bitrate which is 100 mbps. That is very high.

    As far as I can tell, Premiere doesn’t support rendering to MPEG-2 at resolutions higher then 720×608 except HDV in a quicktime.

    That doesn’t mean it can’t import them, but this could be why your files won’t play.

    Also, this MPEG-2 video is in an mp4 container. I don’t think there’s anything technically wrong with that, but it’s certainly an odd choice by whoever encoded it.

    Yea I accidently renamed to MP4 when trying to fix it, it is originally a MPG file extension.

    After many unsuccessful attempts, Xvid4PSP finally converted it to a working MP4 file.
