So i tried updating to 6.0.1 from 6 and made no difference. I tried with other files and they work fine, i am using a .ts video file, the audio is fine but the video is green or red screen. It like works in the starting if i start the video from the start for like a couple of seconds and then freezes, if i skip through the video a green screen usually comes up but sometimes is red. I think i may have found a clue but idk how to fix it, i looked through the googles and found that i can check if i am skipping frames and the light stays yellow after like 40 seconds and says i skipped a lot of frames, like so many its just skipping all the video frames. here are my specs(not sure if they are needed):
Lenovo y580 laptop
i7 3610 qm
8GB ram
500 GB 5400 rpm hdd (upgrading in a couple of days to ssd)
GTX 660m
1366*768 display(i know its weak, i got an external i usually use)
You MAY have an outdated nVidia driver that needs to be updated
Finding nVidia driver version
Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop
Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the popup window
Select SYSTEM INFORMATION at the lower left corner
Driver version should be the 1st line in Details
>using a .ts video file
What is the source of that file, and is it HiDef? (I don't use .ts files, so am not familiar with the type)
Did you make sure your project sequence and the file match?

If that file is HiDef, your laptop is VERY weak with only one 5400rpm hard drive... you need at least 2 hard drives, and your video file drive needs to be 7200rpm
If your laptop has USB3 or eSata... use an external drive http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1117813
An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
.
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
.
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
.
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
.
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
.
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more on partitions) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
Also, for Windows, I think 6.03 is the current version
i have the latest nvidia drivers, my other .ts 720p video files work fine, i switched from mp4 to .ts because it gave me fewer issues (i record video game gameplays), my capture card would mess up the framerate with mp4 and .ts doesn't give me any issues. the laptop should be fine interms of the hdd, since i have been using it to edit files for a couple of months, it doesn't give me any issues when i edit other 720p .ts files and i have tried using an exterenal hdd. I can also record in .m2ts, should i be or is .ts fine?
What do you use to capture those game screens?
Here are some notes on screen capture software... ignore if you do not use one of these (and... providing a bit more information when you ask a question might help)
These are for Premiere Elements, but may help with PPro
