    Hi Vince,

    I tried to re-capture my videos in AVI, and as soon as i put them into Premiere, they were in fast-motion!

    The VHS is two hours long, with about 15 minutes of blue end-of-VHS. When I import the AVI file into Premiere, the video part only lasts 10 minutes (according to Premiere timeline), and there is about 2 hours of blue after that. I checked the framerate in Premiere, and it is 29.97 fps (same as the capture frame rate).

    The avi file plays fine in windows media player and VLC. Do you have any idea what’s going on?

    Also do you know anything about Premiere CS4 and Snow Leopard? I have another issue in the same forum about issues I have been having with Media Encoder since I have upgraded my OS…

    I have captured many videos and edited many of them in Premiere (about 40 VHS tapes). As soon as I upgraded to snow leopard, it stopped working. I am actually encoding files now. If I do one at a time, everything works fine. If I create a queue of exports in Media Encoder, all of the videos except for the first one fails.

    The computer I am editing the videos on is not the same computer I capture on, so I don’t think it’s a problem with the drivers. It really seems to be something with my OS since I can edit and export the files fine on the Windows computer at work (which is usually unavailable). Only on my home Mac does this problem with Media Encoder occur.

    I am capturing from VHS into Pinnacle (version 9 or 10 I believe) into AVI format. I unfortunately do not have the option to buy a new capture card or new capture software.

    This problem ONLY occurred after I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before that, I had some issues with MPEG-2 file format dropping frames and resulting in the audio being out of sync when I exported the videos, however they still exported fine. I have never had an issue with Adobe Media Encoder until I upgraded my OS.

    Since the upgrade, only the first video will encode and I get the same error for everything else in the queue. If I wait until a video is finished encoding and then begin a new one, it works fine. But no videos except the first in a queue will work.

    Unfortunately, I have no control over the type of capture card is used – I also have no control over the fact that the capture software is an old version of Pinnacle that can only capture to MPEG-2 or AVI.

    Thank you for your response! I will try using AVI and see if the issues are resolved.
