new2video Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I 'm a rookie at doing video and my camera has mpeg files and I want to import them into Roxio. When I go to my video files Roxio wont even recognize the files (they don't even show up). Is there a way for Roxio to recognize these files?

Brendon Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 What application in the Creator 2009 suite are you using, and what are you trying to do with it? Do you have the files copied over onto your computer, or are you trying to do that with Creator 2009? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the files copied over onto your computer, or are you trying to do that with Creator 2009? Files are on my computer. I have various clips that I want to clip together and edit to make one video. I'm trying create DVD or video wave 9. I was using a program to convert the files first and then import them but the software I was using (mpeg streamclip) now is making me upgrade my quicktime mpeg2 playback which I don't want to pay for. I think I have seen an upgrade or a way to just import mpeg files directly to Roxio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This program will not work with those types of files. If you tell us what camera you have, we can check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this version run mpeg2 files, and if not is there an upgrade. I could not find that camcorder on their site but the FS200 is a flash camera that does record in mpg2 so I assume that you are correct. Mpg2 is a standard format that is used to burn video on to a disc. I would assume that it would handle the files. Did you ever get any error messages that you need to activate the mpg2 encoder? That was in the full version but I don't know if it was in the Premier. I assume that it was. Let's go back to the start. Did you just COPY file files off the camcorders flash memory to a file on your computer? You would just use Windows to do this. No need for Roxio at that point. Download gspot (terrible name but good program) and drag one of those files to it's page. What dos it say about the video codec - installed or not; activated or not? As for other software, yes, depending on your computer there are several alternatives. Creator 2010 is the latest and greatest. However, buying new software to fix a problem is not the best way to do it. If it is a codec activation issue, the later versions would not have this issue. You may be able to pick up Creator 2009 (obsolete) version inexpensively on-line. Creator 2010 seems to have a lot more applications that allow you to sync audio/video with your portable devices (phone, mp3 player. etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DVD 10 Permier is an older version of the current product. Creator 2010 is the latest and I believe that by renaming the MOD file ot mpg2 will allow them to work. Buy it directly from Roxio on-line and you have a 30 day no questions asked return/money back policy if it doesn't work for your application.!
