MPEG2 Cutting in Premiere ?

[Jeff Kelly]

Hello Folks.

I have Adobe Premiere 6.0 and would like to know if there is a way to edit/cut MPEG2 Video (SVCD compliant)?

MfG

Premiere will allow to import a SVCD or MPG2 file, but not one that has already been "burned".Import in the timeline and treat it as any avi or mov file.Or have I misunderstood you

When I import an mpg-file (mpeg-2 VBR) in Premiere there is an error message (Filetype not supported) also others have told me that Prewmiere does not support MPEG-1/-2 editing only export.

I've been using TMPGEnc's Mpeg Tool for Cutting Mpeg2 files.

Start TMPGEnc, select Mpeg Tools, select Cut/Join tab.
Select MPEG-2 Super Video CD (VBR).
Click add and locate the Mpeg2 file you want to cut
Click on edit or double-click on the mpeg2 file that you have just added.
Edit your range of cut, click OK
Give the new clip a name, and click START.

Premiere will export to Mpeg2 with the help of an Mpeg2 plug-in encoder like CCE, but you cannot import mpeg files into the time line and cut a portion of it off and export.
You can only put avi or still (jpg,bmp,etc) on the video time line.


The only problem I have run into using TMPGEnc for cutting Mpeg2 files is that I ran into "out of memory" error when I'm working with large mpeg2-program streams.

I have a capture card that will give me one single large mpeg2 file (about 4G for two hrs video), and I want to cut out the parts that I want, but TMPGEnc kept giving me out of memory error after it complete reading the video/audio and when it start the cutting.

My system:
Dual P3 1GHz, 1G RAM
TMPGEnc beta12, and beta12j had the same problems.

Anyone out there knows a better mpeg2 cutter, please let us know.
