mpeg import problem
Hey all,
Have not used my premiere pro 1.5 in awhile. I am trying to creat a dvd for one of my students.
He sent me an mpeg file which I imported sucessfully.
Video is there in the bin and preview window.
Upon dragging it to the timeline I only have audio and no video in the output monitor, even after rendering.This file had crashed the program several times.
Any ideas? Should I try and get an avi or quicktime?
Thanks in advance, John

To my knowledge PPro doesn’t do mpeg editing unless you have the MainConcept program that supports mpeg editing in PPro. It will crash the program if you try.

John,
I would download a freeware called Gspot. Once you drag the file in the program, it will give you specific info about its format, the codec used, that would help figuring out whether that codec is supported by Premiere or not.
It could also have been corrupted during transfer (most likely).
Lastly, it could be an issue with Premiere itself. I would try importing a different file to see if the same issues happens.
Otherwise I would ask for a new AVI copy.

I had a similar problem with VOB files that I had renamed as mpg. Could not import more than one into a project. No problem with seeing the video and audio. The computer has DVD playing software which provides the mpeg-2 codec. Solved the problem by importing just one mpg at a time and then directly exporting to avi, then assemble and edit the resulting avis. Took a bit longer than planned, and of course quite a bit of disk space.
