no, not in AE, FCP, Quicktime or MPEG Streamclip, but it does work in VLC…very strange, VLC doesnt have very broad options for exporting though, or re-wrapping…

‘get info’ says dvc-pal, linear pcm, which is the same codec as other files that play fine in quicktime.
id like to avoid re-encoding it if at all possible.
-
mpegstreamclip doesnt like it either…

so it loads the video in the ram? or the vram? and runs out of memory? one PC has 1gb of ram and the other has 2gb and they both go wrong at the same point in the same video. i think the network is fast enough, i can scrub through the first ten minutes as if the files are on my computer, it’s just after that point…

That’s a very helpful post, thankyou.
The problem has actually fixed itself now, with no explanation, which is actually very frustrating, because i’d like to know why it happened.
It’s nice to hear from someone that codecs can be affected by programs. I’m assuming that this was the case, as finalcut, streamclip and quicktime were all affected at the same time, and they’ve all gone back to working like normal now.
Again, thankyou for taking the time to respond to my post, if this problem crops up again i’ll get in contact 😛

“The DV codec is not the same as the Apple DV codec.” this may be true, but all the programs i’m using didn’t have a problem with the same AVI files from Premiere 2 days ago, and now they do.
i can’t find out the versions of the programs right now as i’ve finished at work and gone home.
thanks for your time btw.

if a drive into town takes 45 seconds one day, and then an hour the next day by the same route in the same car then i know that my car has slowed down.
re-wrapping an avi took 45 seconds on tuesday
yesterday it took aver an hour.
the same file, the same process, the same program.
i agree that something must have changed in my system, this is what i have said several times. if i knew what it was or could be then i wouldn’t need to ask other people. i havent installed anything new. it’s not slowing down according to activity monitor. FCP, Streamclip, Quicktime and Premiere Pro have all been affected by this change.

im trying to encode a mov in premiere pro for mac and it’s taking an rediculous amount of time to encode. this must be linked to the problem i’m talking about. whatever is used to as a reference to encode movs has been altered or broken. i know there there are component files for some codecs on the mac, but i couldnt see one for movs, and if i could, how would i replace or fix it?

They’re about 10-15 minutes each. I know it’s a re-wrap, as stated in my first post. I might be wrong here, but i assumed re-wrapping dv-pal footage would be ok, i thought it was a codec native. The fact i shouldn’t be doing it doesn’t explain why the speed of doing it has changed.
to use your analogy, i feel like i’ve taken a car to a garage because it’s gone from doing 60mph one day to 5mph the next, and all the mechanics are asking about the route i’ve been taking in the car instead of asking about the engine.

premiere pro 2.0, pardon me.
