Photoshop vid exports: one loads into VS and another doesn't
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 2:59 am
Hi All!
This is an **EXTREMELY** long post because I include a ton of SUPER(C)
analysis data from 3 vid files, some detailed 'differences' between those
analyes, and a complete dxdiag at the very bottom of the post. if you reply
please don't quote much. LOL!!!
Details: Toshiba P35 laptop/XP-Home-SP3/2G RAM, VS Pro X2, and Photoshop CS4
Extended. Original vid recorded with Panasonic GS400 and ported into PC via
VS. I have *never* (ever-ever) run any 'wacky-funky internet downloaded
codec file.' Everything is stock-normal from Bill, Corel, and Adobe.
I don't know if VS or PS is the 'cause' of this problem though my intuitive
guess is that it's PS because I'm -experiencing- the problem under VS with a
file -created- -by- PS. But I can't fix it unless/until I know what the root
problem is. So if I can completely define the problem then I can go to the
PS forums to find the fix/cure.
Problem: Original file and one file video-exported by PS load just fine into
VS library, and another file created by PS doesn't. A short 30 second clip
exported from PS imports into VS library perfectly fine. But the full length
35 min vid exported by PS returns the scary 'not accesible' error.
Actually I made the long vid first but when it wouldn't load into VS I made
the 30 sec version for testing/troubleshooting purposes. When that one -did-
load into VS I am simply further baffled.
That error message is almost more annoying than any error itself. Hitting
'OK' returns 'unknown file format' *OR* 'not enough memory' *OR* 'copy
protected.' Well don't tell me what it *MIGHT* be tell me what it **IS**!!
Duh. I'd rather the whole thing crash out to a BSOD than tell me 'I'm sorry,
Dave, I can't do that for you.'
OK so I know it's not copyrighted because I created it myself, and there's
enough memory because I can load the original unshopped (same length) AVI
just fine, so it's gotta be a format/codec problem. Maybe. I think. LOL! No,
really, I have no clue.
Or, maybe there's some other problem VS 'doesn't
know how to tell me about.'
Below I'm posting aaallll the gruesome details as reported SUPER(C)
'expanded analysis' of the original and both shopped files because I have no
clue what might be significant. But I'm leaving the audio portion out of the
original file because the shopped files report no audio tracks. (Is *that* a
'problem' for VS????) Nope, can't be that, as I said the short shopped
version has no audio and it loads fine.
Another possibly interesting note, the -original- file has -65749- frames
and the -shopped- file has -65750- frames.
But before you see all the details, to make analysis of all this SUPER(C)
info a little easier, I created three text files:
(a) original
(b)30 sec clip
(c)full length shopped version
...and ran a few greps on them to see some possibly significant differences:
A few items had identical data for all three files such as Kind of stream:
General, Stream identifier: 1, Count of video streams: 1, and I removed
those few lines from the reports.
Hmmm is these a clue? I see a few items where the a and b files are the same
and the c is different.
Yeesh that's a ton of data, I home someone sees something 'odd.' Any clues
here?
TYIA. Have a day!

That was a post that was too long. I've deleted all the superfluous text. Dump files, and the like have no meaning to members and staff of this web board. If you think you must post those files, zip them up into a text file, and attach the zip file. The best solution is to email those files to Corel, they are intended for the developers, not users.
