PE4 & .avi files & MPEG-2 files from camcorders

Hello.  I recently acquired a Sony DCR-SR220 camcorder (which led me into a "research project" to ensure that I have everything set up as much as possible).  Of the Sony DCR-SR220 files are in MPEG-2 format.  I'm a football coach, and I slowly up to 40% of the original video in order to study children in action and see what needs to be "fixed" with our team.  I need to have the slow motion video which is as smooth as possible.  I could also do PIP or other similar effects in slow motion video.  My previous Sony DCR-TRV280 camcorder, was Pat.  PE4 would capture it as .avi and I could handle these files to great effect.  Now, he only appears when I slow down the DCR-SR220 MPEG-2 files - the movement is erratic. Erratic is defined as the base object in an image, then a "ghost" of the object behind it and a ghost of the object in front of the base in the direction of the movement object.

-Is "erratic shadows of a moving object" caused by the video from the camcorder Sony DCR-SR220 being more compressed than .avi?

-J' heard PE4 works best with .avi files?

-If that's the case, should I import my MPEG-2 files into PE4 and convert to .avi and then change them and then burn my DVD?

If anyone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it.

With the exception of some HD formats, I agree that mfgrs. Made a horrible disservice to consumers with different HARD drive formats and miniDVD, most of which requires significant compression. If it is intended only to display on a TV, then fine. If they really want to change the images, everything is not so good.

HD uses a form of MPEG-2 format, or format H.264 (Apple). Some of them edit better, provided that there is a more recent NLE, a second channel, like Cineform and a fast, powerful computer. Then, if they go to the BD for distribution, all is good enough.

If it makes SD images, editing and then will DVD-Video, they are best advised to go with cassette miniDV cameras.

    Hello Jorstar1,

    Thank you for your message.  Windows Media Player 11 supports .avi, but compression can dictate whether he will play or not.  This is very probably a Codec issue, you can perform a websearch for a Codec that will play any avi compression.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to resolve this problem.

  • What Preset with. AVI files converted from other sources - pre 7

    Sorry, but I'm new and a little confused with some installation options.

    I bought the first Elements 7 of Steve book and read it (it's the great BTW) but have a few questions to start my project.

    Book of Steve, I understand that I am better to convert my Panasonic. MTS files to AVI (in fact, I am converting all my sources to. AVI).  So my questions are:

    (1) I use AVS video Converter 7.0 to convert all my AVI sources.  AVS offers several AVI profile. It is important that the one that I use?  I want to use the AVI profile called

    HD 1080 p video: h.264/AVC, 4200 Kbps; Audio: MP3, 256 Kbps that guard the 1080 and the big screen...

    then use the same profile for non wide screen (except use the options of the advance of the to have capture 720 x 540 instead of 1920 x 1080)


    The other AVS profiles for. AVI are: (of course, I'm confused why we MPEG-4 in an AVI file, but they all register under.) (AVI)

    AVS AVI options.jpg


    (2) then, then what preset uses?  Since these are all. AVI on my hard drive, I am confused with all the choices.

    I am considering NTSC-HDV-HDV 1080i 30, but AVCHD, DV, HDV, and HARD DISK offer all the options that seem to work.

    I would recommend capturing your VHS, DVD and video with the ADS Pyro 8mm and I would recommend it download files AVCHD with Premiere Elements and display an AVI from there so that you can combine all projects. (Make sure the parameters of project selected for AVCHD precisely corresponding to your camcorder - and give the file a few minutes to comply before trying to modify.)

  • How to convert a PPT w/music file to an AVI or MPEG file?

    I did an a PPT file with music and I would like to convert it to an AVI file or, better, an MPEG file.

    (I saw a program on the internet, but it would take at least 20 DAYS to convert my file 160MO; then I dropped).

    TX for any suggestion.

    Jean barut

    There are many, many programs available on the Internet that will record everything that is playing through your sound card.  Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) should be able to do.  You don't the PPT file convert an audio file, you save what he plays and save it as an audio file.  It won't take days.

  • Windows Media Player does not play .avi or .mpeg video files?

    I downloaded video files to the video format .avi, and then try to play them with Windows Media Player. He plays the sound for the video file, but no video.

  • Converting .rec .mpeg or .avi files

    I downloaded video files from a Topfield TF5000PVRt to my pc. They came with an extension ".rec. I can successfully convert them into a format appropriate so that they can be read by Windows Media Player? I hope to be able to create versions of DVD as well. Is this feasible?

    Hi amberdog, there is not a lot of free converters out there but MPEG Streamclip video converter, http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html is supposed to be the best for both your specifications, in addition to this, it takes support the 28 other formats and can edit videos as well. I hope this helps.

  • Convert ppt in mpeg or avi files

    We are a small charity and have just invested in a TV to act as a Visual display of our services that run a powerpoint presentation. For convenience we want to run it through a usb memery stick TV - but the TV will only play the powerpoint if it is an mpeg or avi file - can help to anyone - I have found some 'free' on the line but not really free converters in the form of display with a watermark or remove all times running through the presentation in seconds grateful for any help or advice

    PowerPoint has the ability to create an integrated video.  Before you do, make sure that all your slides are set to 'auto-advance' after so many seconds, so that the show works for you.  You probably already have it if you have set your PowerPoint presentation to play.

    Then, to create the MPEG file video, just do this:

    1. In PowerPoint, choose file > export, then choose "create a video".
    2. Set the number of seconds to wait on each slide (or if you have custom settings, tell it to 'Use saved the timing'.
    3. Click record video and save your file.

  • AVI files created from the same quality as the DVD engraved project?

    If I have a project and go to 'Share', I can create an AVI file specified as (use for editing in Adobe Premiere Elements).  Is the quality of this the same file that the quality of a DVD created through 'Share' - disc - burn DVDs?  Or another way to put it--if I created an AVI file and then later burned to disk would it be quality that burn the original project to a disc?

    johnf

    Thanks for the additional information on your situation.

    Although there may be differences in quality, I doubt that you will see quality differences between the content of your timeline from the timeline compared to the burning of a collection of DV AVI to DVD-VIDEO format to DVD disc.

    In fact, the case of the intermediary to DV AVI, is the classic way of working with a large project into smaller segments. But I am the mini series before the final project to confirm that this is the case of tests. From what you wrote, you have been there and done that. What is the quality of the videos that you have prepared in this way? If good, you are on the right track.

    If you want a better resolution product, such as AVCHD to DVD disc or Blu - ray disc on Blu - ray disc format, you could burn at or considers that the intermediate file a file like AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080 at 30 progressive frames per second). If you've traveled the way DVD AVCHD, you can produce with a regular DVD burner, but he needs a reader Blu - ray which takes supported AVCHD DVD or one of these media players that support the AVCHD DVD. The Blu - ray disc format on Blu - ray disc requires a drive and a Blu - ray burner.

    According to the players and its specifications, some create the HD file and put it on a card memory or USB for use in other than the DVD player players.

    Major projects that will be appreciated by all.

  • Cannot read data from avi file

    Hello

    I wrote timestamp data and exposure to an AVI file, but I can't as the file data using the read avi function.  I enclose the code to play the video, but also an excerpt of 7 video framework.  If you open the video in a hex editor and search for 'Time', you can see that the data has been written to the file, but I just get the empty string when I try to read this return as in the attached VI.  I'm doing something wrong?

    I use LV 8.0.1 and IMAQ Vision 7.1.1 4.0.

    Thank you

    Greg

    Thank you for your help.

    Finally, I got this problem.  I tried the IMAQ upgrade as you said, repair facilities IMAQ, LabView and removing and reinstalling all my software of NOR.  None of this has helped.

    In that time, I had a lot of other problems with NOR-MAX, got totally fed upwards, formatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows, LabView and all the stuff of vision.  In the process, I discovered that I had bad RAM and replaced the one too.

    Almost all problems are gone now, including this one.

    Thank you

  • Backup of a series of images (from a smart camera) in an AVI file

    Hello

    I have a setup of laboratory in which display us deflections of brain cells in a plate well after be pressurized with air of 50ms. I have a smart camera attached to a card PCI IMAQ to acquire images.

    I'm saving the series of images in an avi file, so that I can show deviations in a slow video.

    The way I put it in place at the present time takes an image and stores it in an avi pre-existing (some .avi randomly that I didn't need) format. But here are a few problems:

    1. I would like for the VI create a NEW .avi, rather that saving it in a pre-existing.

    2. now, each image replaces just the previous in the avi file. Avi resulting is a film length of 00:00 with one image (the last frame saw the camera).

    I have what I programmed attachment. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Never mind, resolved. Simply put the Acquisition of Vision in the smaller loop.

  • How can I get the best video quality on a DVD from .avi files?

    This first effort with elements first 13, I had a company to convert my movies to 50 (8mm) in digital files (.avi).  But the company cannot know how their sequence so I will try to make the DVD 'movies '.  I want to make for parents to use (so they work in most consumer DVD players).

    I tried to make Blu - ray movies, but (using M-record) they wouldn't even play in my Blu - ray player.  Then I tried to make AVCHD movies, but 31% of the process, I get a "transcription error."  So I made DVDs with the program, but the quality is (I think) even worse 8mm films they came.  They appear more grainy for me until I discovered the files on the computer.

    Question 1: Can I do better?

    1a: If that AVCHD would be better, is my problem only to use the right type of disc?

    Question 2: Each film PREL only 30 minutes and uses less than 2 GB to the drive.  Assuming that better quality images would use even less than 4.7 GB, is there an easy way to combine two movies PREL?  Making each .avi files has been a challenge...

    -First elements 13

    -DVD - R verbatim discs

    -HP laptop burner

    Very well! This is a video of good quality, editable file. However, this is a standard definition video file and it will not produce a good high-def or BluRay video.

    That said, when you add the video to your timeline first 13 elements, the program should implement your project according to the specifications of your video. And, When you do, you should be able to easily output a very nice DVD to research.
