Video length

Karovaldas · 10th August 2007, 05:46

I fiend of mine gave me a DVD that he burned directly from his Sony hard disk camcorder. I am having a hec of a time getting the video to Premiere Pro for editing. I demux the VOB files to video and .wav strings and import them into Premiere Pro. Invariably, the video length is just a fraction of the real length. Are there any settings I should pay attention to? Any kind of re-indexing I can do to make the video readable by Premiere? It plays just fine, but the index is way off: 4 minute clip shows up as 30 sec segment.

Thanks,
Haris

I don't know anything about Premiere. How did you import the VOB file? Does Premiere open it directly?

i do have problems with mpeg2 (also sony camcorder) and cs3, while cs2 was working fine..., my current solution is to transcode to huff (or DV).
