Bill .... I don't want to add video in Photoshop Elements!! When I create a video in PRE 10 it automatically gets added to the catalog that's shared between PSE10 and PRE10. Then when I try to use the Organizer in PSE10 I get "organizer has stopped working" and it closes. I have been having a problem with Organizer in PSE10 since I installed it. I have created numerous catalogs to get around the problem. I recently discovered that when I create a video in PRE 10 it automatically gets added to the catalog. I was hoping there was a way to limit the catalog to just photos.
Thank you!

Nealeh …. Thanks for the reply. I believe it’s the videos because I had just created a new catalog that had just pictures in it and it was working fine. Then I created a video in PRE 10. When I went into Organizer, I got the message “Organizer has stopped working”.
Any ideas??

As an experiment create a new empty catalog. Import an existing video file into it. If it doesn't crash then right-click and choose Edit with Premiere Elements. Make a simple change in PRE and then save the project. Does the organizer survive?

Nealeh .... I did what you suggested and the Organizer immediately stopped working. But something else happened which might provide a glue. I got a message that "FFmpeg has stopped working". I took screen shots of some of the details that are in the attached document. I looked up FFmpeg on the internet. I'm mildly technical. It didn't make sense to me. Maybe you could take a look at the attachments??? If you don't get the attachment please let me know.
Thank you!!!

Jo Ann,
The images did not attach. See this ARTICLE for attaching image files to posts.
As far as FFMpeg, have you installed any CODEC packs?
Good luck,

Following Bills question, ffmpeg is not normally a part of a standard Windows installation. Check out 'uninstall a program' in Control Panel and see what might have added it to your system.
I'd suggest that you then create a System Restore point and uninstall that program and/or codec packs. Restart your machine and try adding that video to the Elements Organizer again. Post the result here - do you still have the problem?

Jo Ann,
One quick way of seeing installed CODEC's is by the use of the free utility, G-Spot, and its Tables option from the Toolbar. There, choose Video CODEC's. However, there is one caveat. Adobe installs some CODEC's, and tries to hide those from other programs, such as some CODEC packs, which often will overwrite existing, commercial CODEC's, with their own version, which are often inferior, hacked, or reverse-engineered versions. That hiding process will often keep those particular CODEC's "safe," but then utilities, such as G-Spot, or Sherlock the CODEC Detective, will throw false-positives, for broken, or corrupt versions of those Adobe CODEC's. See this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt
Hi Bill .... I'm going to attempt to add the screen shots when I got the error "FFmpeg stopped working". Here goes:
Also, I ran G-Spot and got a list of CODEC's. There are several there with a vendor name of FFmpeg. How do I know which ones are good or bad??
Also, I searched installed programs on my computer and saw that in 12/29/11 a program called InstaCodecs was installed.
Does any of this info help??
Thank you!!
Well ..... Keeping my fingers crossed but I think that I'm "FIXED"!!! I unistalled InstaCodecs and everything seems to be working. I can get to my catalogs and organizer doesn't crash.
I've been trying to get this problem resolved for months. I'm a Happy Camper!
