Re: [AP] Loosing capture device
Bill, I am a little out of focus on exactly what is not seeing your cameras. Does windows lose the connection, or does Adobe Premiere lose it? I believe that if it is an initial connection problem, then it really is not an Adobe Premiere question, although we will try and help you. Much easier to know if it is an operating system problem or an Adobe problem. Also, you state you are using version 7.0, which can also be know as Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0. You state that you have all of the security patches. Does this mean you are running SP2? My experience with Premiere Pro 1.0 was that it didn't really work well with SP2. Just wondering. Hope this helps. Tom bjensen391 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a question that I hope will fit within this group. I am the IS Director for a school district in Oregon.

Re: [AP] Loosing capture device
Bill-- with XP it shouldn't matter so much, but are the students always plugging the camera in before Premiere has started? This used to be a requirement in previous versions of Premiere (although I suspect it had more to do with the OS than Premiere). Just something to test. For troubleshooting purposes, it may be helpful to know that Premiere only directly talks to the PCI firewire card, and in turn, the card talks to the camera. (Sort of like a translator between Premiere and your camera.) So I would focus my troubleshooting on the PCI and camera. Like making sure the PCI drivers are up to date, make sure there are no other conflicts with the assigned IRQs, etc. Jeff Schell www.jeffschell.com · Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) · Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) · On-Site, Classroom Training for Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD, Photoshop · Books: Premiere Pro 2 Hands-On-Training · Premiere Pro 1.5 H-O-T · DVDs / Online Tutorials: Premiere Pro 2 Essential Training at Lynda.com - Original Message - From: bjensen391 To: Adobe-Premiere@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 9:11 PM Subject: [AP] Loosing capture device I have a question that I hope will fit within this group.

Re: [AP] Loosing capture device
Tom, I believe that the camera is not being seen by Windows, but others in my department think it may be an issue with Adobe. The PC does not regonize the camera at random times, but once Premire does see the camera, it does not seem to drop it. I was wondering if there are known issues with firewire cards or if there is a good way to check them. An important item to know is that a teacher took some of the cameras home and said that she could not connect to her PC at home. This cameras are all in the $400 to $500 dollar range and are less than a year old. Can the firewire card damage the port on the camera? We have a cd labeled Adobe Premire 7.0 and we are using Windows XP with SP2. I will look for more info on that.

Re: [AP] What is the difference between MPEG2 and MPEG4?
Generally speaking, video compression standards are the product of groups of engineers working to create a delivery format that is broadly compatible with target playback devices. So MPEG-2 serves the needs of movie distributors (on optical disk) and satellite/cable/DSL (digital) Broadcasters. If, as a producer, you don't create outputs that conform to the standard, you risk failure to perform at the delivery end. MPEG-2 standards are fairly tight, but do allow, at the production end, the creation of single files containing video and audio or separate audio and video files brought together in authoring software, like Encore, DVD Lab, MyDVD and so on. In North America the audio component should be WAV or AC-3 while in other parts of the world MPEG audio is allowed. On some players in NA you can use it without a problem, and in others it won't play back. But when the authoring is done properly the resulting replicated disks (stamped, not burned) will almost always play across the range of DVD set top players. MPEG-4 was created to cover a lot of ground, from portable devices like cell phones and iPods to satellite and other digital delivery systems for viewing on TV. However, unlike MPEG-2, various participants developed their own flavours, like Divx and Microsoft, neither of which conform to the engineering standard. That's why Divx came with its own player for so long. That's why file converters like Quick Time Pro 7 have only recently begun to offer MPEG-4 export options like convert to iPod video for example. I still don't see a lot of web video in MPEG-4, because of the flavours issue. Do you have a player that will understand the version being downloaded? What do you do if you can hear the audio but not see the video? Producers are concerned about this stuff and their reluctance to choose it versus other more universal formats has slowed its distribution. I'm not a professional and can't make many statements with absolute certainty, but from where I sit, MPEG-4 is still a challenging choice unless you're aiming only for iPod or Divx-enabled DVD players, and I'm sure I'm missing some options. I'm also hoping someone will correct any inaccuracies in my overview. David Hurdon At 03:41 PM 4/26/2006 +, you wrote: I would like to know the difference between MPEG2 and MPEG4.
