Aristides,
Yes I saw this, but thought it might be included with the Quicktime
on the MAC that I am getting. Thought I would wait until I get the
MAC and see what I have available. You are right the cheaper
solution is to add the MPEG component from Apple.MBW

Aristides,
Hey thanks for the idea, I’ve checked out the link. One thing
that concerns me is the Quicktime Alternative that I would need to
install. I’m on a PC and I’ve had so much trouble with Quicktime
over the years, that when I have a working Quicktime/iTunes install
I don’t want to change it. I’ve downloaded the demo to the AVS
software mentioned earlier and it seems to work so at least I’ve
got a work around, but FREE would be a better price. 🙂
Appreciate your time and effort to mention the alternative. I’m
getting a MAC deleivered in a couple of weeks so I’ll be able to
try your MAC suggestion then.Thanks

BC,
Thanks for the ideas. I wouldn’t say that CS4 PP is terrible. I
tend to like it much more that CS3 PP. It’s just this VOB file
stuff. Can’t understand why it is so difficult to convert these
files back to something useful in an editor.Oh well… At least I can purchase another $50 program to do it.
Have a great night…

BC,
I have 150GB of HD available and 4GB of RAM, that should be plenty.
I do think there might be a setup issue. I unfortunately did the Adobe download for my upgrade from CS3. What a cluster @#%@ that is. It comes in a bunch of tar files and you have to determine the correct installation sequence. I will never do that again. It’s DISKs or no sale for me. 🙂Not sure how to fix the installation setup, except by uninstalling everything and trying again. Not sure it is worth that though.

BC,
Thanks for the email. I thought I’d read about CS4 being
able to import VOB files, which is great. Unfortunately, when
I try the method you describe CS4 appears to only be able to
recognize the first 18 seconds of audio/video. The VOB has
2 minutes of video and audio so it appears that CS4 is
having difficulties with bringing in VOB files.Did I do something wrong?

Jeff,
Hey thanks for the link to the software. I downloaded and
tried the non-activated version. It seems to work fine. A little
slow, but the output is what I needed. Now off to get the
credit card and purchase.Thanks again for the response and help!

Fritz,
Thanks for the idea, I was hoping that the time-remapping
feature would allow this “Stopping” of video. Before cut a clip,
holding a frame and using the speed in Premeire, I would just
go into AE and use the Time remapping in it. You have a good
idea if I didn’t have AE. It just really stinks that Time
remapping in Premeire can’t stop on a frame.Oh well… Thanks for the idea.

Mike,
I initially tried your suggestion, but unfortunately 1% is not
frozen video. At 30fps, in a little over 3 seconds(100frames),
a new frame is generated. Since I am trying to stop the frame for
5 seconds, I get at least one frame begin generated. Since this
is time remapping multiple “between” frames are generate and I get
a real slow motion look, but definitely not stopped.Mark

Well dang that is obvious. I just didn’t put it together.
Too bad that time remapping won’t stop the video, but your
solution should work.Thanks!!!!

Bryan,
Well I could try to make it a MOV file,
but I find that AVIs work better on my PC.
Present case withstanding. At some point it
has to be rendered to something and I was thinking
that an uncompressed AVI would be the easiest,
but you bring up a good point. I’ll try the
quicktime and see if it is any better.Thanks
Mark
