  1. I am trying to edit a video downloaded from a TV broadcast.
    It was downloaded and converted to MPEG2 through my tuner card.
    It is a huge 16TB file.
    When played on WMP, it plays as it should with no apparent audio problems.
    Although, at 16m58s the picture momentarily pixelates.
    Apparently the broadcast reception glitched.
    This does not affect the audio when played on WMP.
    It is in-sync through out the entire video file.
    In Premiere Pro the audio begins to "motor-boat" at that point and continues to do so throughout the rest of the video.
    Eventually, before the end file can be exported, PremPro crashes.

    After converting the MPEG2 file to AVI with Xilisoft, the file size comes down to 12TB.
    But, the audio becomes increasingly out of sync with the video as it plays on WMP and in Premiere Pro.
    Although, the "motor-boating" does not happen.
    I have not yet tried to export the edited AVI because of the out of sync audio.

    Can anyone help solve these problems?
    Are they solvable?

  2. 1) you can try fixing it, before converting or importing into premiere e.g. videoredo quickstream fix, or projectx, pvastrumento

    2) you can try cutting around the offending region , or cutting it out e.g. videoredo, mpg2cut2, avidemux

    2) if wmp plays it ok, then you might be able to convert it through directshow e.g. directshowsource() in avisynth

  3. Thanks poisondeathray,

    VideoReDo fixed the MPEG2 file.
    The audio is in-sync through the entire video in WMP and Premiere Pro CS5.

    The only problem now is that PremPro still crashes when exporting MPEG2 files.
    The cause seems to be IPPMPEGDecoder.DLL.
    This seems to be a common problem with PremPro CS 3,4,5 and Elements.
    A few seem to have found a fix for it but I can't find how they did it.

    Does anyone know how to fix PremPro's crashing when exporting MPEG2 files?

  4. I don't have any problems with exporting MPEG2 files and PP

    A temporary workaround might be to encode to a lossless intermediate, then another MPEG2 encoder

    But your "IPPMPEGDecoder.DLL" suggests it's a decoding issue of that file, not encoding issue. (ie. your MPEG2 file probably still has problems) . If that's the case , then I would probably encode that source MPEG2 to some digital intermediate (e.g. huffyuv, lagarith, ut video codec), swap out the files so you don't have to redo the edits (right click and replace)

  5. Reinstalling Premiere Pro and the 3rd party codecs has fixed the problem.
    Thanks for your help.
