How to convert AVI files for first CS4 (Mac) with VLC - Please Help!

Hi thanks for the reading-post it here for the first time.

I'm another grass sorry, trying to convert AVI files, so I can import them into first CS4 on a Macbook Pro laptop. I am using VLC on the macbook to perform the conversion. I don't want to use free converters such as iSquint (tried and many others) b/c they cause a significant loss of video quality. But I'm trying to do it for free! (I'm broke).

Been read tons here and on other forums to get advice first, but in my view, none is really specific to my situation.

I'm fine (slight quality loss) video but NO Audio. I want the audio too!

AVI files seized on an old NV3 camera SD card.

VLC said the Codecs for these files I got off the SD card are as follows:
0 workflow:
Type - video
Codec - MPEG - 4 (XVID) video
Resolution - 640 x 480
Rate - 30

Stream 1:
Type - Audio
Codec-MS ADPCM (audio ms)
Channels: Mono
Sampling frequency - 22050 Hz
Bits per sample - 16

I tried several different configurations with VLC conversion according to the documentation of "Supported file Formats for import in first CS4": http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WSf52ca809ac8f6c7135876f961243120b72d-8000.htm l

For example I tried to convert the same file as follows:

Wrapper MPEG 1 - converted with MPEG-1 VIDEO 1024 bits/Audio MP3 192-bit
Wrapper MPEG 1 - converted with MPEG-1 VIDEO 1024 bits/Audio MP3 128-bit
Wrapper MPEG 1 - converted with MPEG-1 VIDEO 1024 bits/MPEG Audio 128-bit
Wrapper MPEG 1 - converted with MPEG-2 VID 1024 bits/Audio MP3 128-bit
Wrapper MPEG 1 - converted with MPEG - 1 1024 bits/MPEG Audio 16 bit VID
Wrapper MPEG 1 - converted with MPEG - 1 1024 bits/MP3 Audio 16 bit VID

When converting to MP4 (MPEG-4) I get a general error while importing first so no dice on that, and I tried a lot of other configurations/combinations, but not all. 

I check each result with VLC before import into the Prime Minister and they play both audio & video fine with VLC.

My question is the following: what settings can I select in VLC for audio first? Or if there is a specific codec I need to download and install a download link... would be much appreciated.

Alternative solution?...

If I put these files on the SD card in my camera and click on and drag them on the macbook pro laptop as AVI files (instead of dragging to a PC first, as was the case)... don't you think it would make a diff?  Also, I tried sucking to the top of the camera first, but that didn't work... the camera turns on when connected to the computer... so that you can not navigate to a file on the camera and then use the GUI first to suck.

I have a laptop. These original files play well with Windows Movie Maker because I downloaded the appropriate codec. Hi and low tried a mac version of this codec without result. CS4 my install discs do not work on Windows/PC. Trust me I wish they did! Even the configuration required on the package is in the absence of any mention of Windows. Windows Movie Maker convert .mov... that was my first game b4 plan, I realized that VLC was quite robust and user-friendly in its Export Wizard codec functionality.

Any help would be much appreciated! I swear! I'm banging my head against the wall and I want to just change already!

Thank you!

Do not use the flow function; This isn't what you are doing.  (Although technically, I don't think it matters)

Use the convert/save option.  The first screening, video - H.264 + AAC (MP4), should work great.  Don't change anything.  Save the file with a MOV or MP4 extension.

If you get audio weird sounding, then create your own preset that matches the Video - H.264 + AAC (MP4) preset, uncheck only Audio the Audio tab and convert to video.  Then run convert/Save using the Audio - CD preset.  Save the file as a WAV (or an AAC?).

Import the 2 files into PR.  You shouldn't have synchronization problems if the points are aligned in when you add them to the sequence.

    When I import my video captured by pinnacle in a first sequence, I need to put 2 separate as audio files that records pinnacle L/R on separate files, these files are then fed into a sequence and don't go to the main stereo track for the sequence and instead go to 2 new audio tracks.   Is this in any way about this?   Can I import 2 tracks like a stereo track or something?  Or does anyone have a work around?  I intend using On Location for purposes of capture to proceed... but I have TONS of images to change everything first captured by Pinnacle.

    ... It's a yucky situation.

    This is a possibility, although his only good remaining in first: drag your video clip to the icon of a new element, and a sequence will be created that has the same name as your clip. Make sure that there two mono tracks and a stereo master track. Drag your audio files and then use the Panel audio mixer for the panorama of the first string on the left and the second channel on the right! Obviously you will need to repeat this step for as many clips as you, but then you can load to the top of these sequences in the Source monitor or place them in a new sequence and edit them as if they were regular sequences.

    Unfortuately, which is about as close you will get automatic synchronization you will get in first. Recapture is probably a lot less work

    You probably can't. AVI is a container, not a format; Some reviews require a codec that is not available for Mac OS X.

  • How to convert video files in avi files 3pg need a kind of codecs etc.

    I am trying to transfer my video files 3pg by converting avi files to copy on this new player mp3; in the instruction book, which says that if there is no problem converting them, iwould need to download additional codecs to take in charge all the multimedia files. How do you do that?

    Hello

    What operating system is installed on the computer?

    You don't need codecs for the avi files to convert to be played on the player, if you need to read the files on the computer, then you may need to download codecs from the internet.

    You can use your favorite search engine to download codecs and use.

    The audio or video file can be converted to a file type that your device can play and then copied to your device. If it cannot be converted (or you don't want it to be converted), you can always choose to copy the file on the device, but you will not be able to play.

  • How to convert raw files from my D300 Nikion for AdobeRGB sRGB?

    How to convert raw files sRGB to my Nikon D300 AdobeRGB files for use in Lightroom and Photoshop?

    I got caught for years in sRGB because I read that it is better for sharing on the web if any alteration in Photoshop may be made.  Now I have the time to focus on learning Photoshop and Lightroom.  Should I opt for color my default AdobeRGB camera mode?  Can I easily convert existing files to sRGB to AdobeRGB in Lightroom/Photoshop?  I understand, as a beginner, is that sRGB files cannot be modified and files AdobeRGB.

    Thanks for your help.

    George Ollen

    Save as raw rather than jpg. Then the color profile will not be embedded in the file. Then Lightroom or camera raw can assign AdobeRGB or SRGB color profile.

    BTW, if you choose - choose AdobeRGB and then convert to SRGB, not the other way around. AdobeRGB has a broader that is SRGB. It's easier to strip color to add.

    I'm looking to burn .avi files that I found in the torrent files downloaded using utorrent on a DVD + R disc.  I noticed in several forums that most of the people seem to have problems in windows media player.  Someone mentioned a program in Windows Vista that could be used, but I'm still in the stone age with Windows XP.  I took some advice and downloaded a program called ConvertXToDVD, but I don't know what to convert .avi files to in order to burn properly and play on a standard DVD player.

    Any advice would be helpful.
