Also does the file play in media players?

StuartRankin Oct 11, 2012 5:32 PM (in response to sheryl fillmon)Hi Rick,
Coming to this a bit late -
Can you actually open it?
1. Try duplicating the problem file and see if you can work with that.
Not working?
2. Import into CS4 PP in segments - 10 mins or 15 mins chunks - then join them all up in MPEG Streamclip batch.

Hope this helps.

Bill Hunt Oct 11, 2012 5:38 PM (in response to sheryl fillmon)Rick,
Sorry that I did not see this post earlier, but then I do not have much to offer.
I have only read of similar issues (not really quite the same), where the links to the CFA and PEK files (Conformed and Waveform Display files), were on a networked drive, or on a drive with improper permissions - and the link was broken, when the Project was loaded, prompting the Conforming process to begin again.
You are having issues with Conforming the first time around, and that is a new one to me.
I also Import some very large (long Duration) files, and when I do, I just take a "coffee break," and let it complete 100%, before I touch anything. In your case, if I read correctly, the Conforming is NOT completing, regardless of how much time you give it. Something odd there, but I have nothing to suggest. Hope that the others' comments WILL be helpful.
Good luck,
Hunt

That's unusual. I'd take a step back and fix whatever is wrong with PP capture, and then recapture the tape.

sheryl fillmon Oct 12, 2012 6:02 AM (in response to JSS1138)Okay, here's an update to all my issues I have been having with capturing, editing, copying dvds and just a slow computer with Adobe:
First, thanks to all who responded, but to anyone with similar issues, listen up: I was experiencing many issues, not just the one noted in this discussion and what fixed it for me was to UPGRADE ADOBE PREMIERE PRO. I was using PPCS4, which as I said worked fine on my old computer. IT installed my extremely fast Dell Precision T3500 and of course migrated pretty much everything from my old computer to new one. That's when all the issues began, and to this day don't know why because according to Adobe Website and Dell website, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 DOES work or IS CAMPITABLE with this computer.
After many efforts to find a solution, IT thought, lets try the upgrade to CS6 since I was 2 versions behind... so after applying for the Cloud membership (thanks Adobe, love it so far) and downloading CS6.... WHAM BAM, SPANK YOU MA'AM. It works terrific!
My video I mention above works perfectly and didn't kick me out once! It edited like it's supposed to!
Would anyone know why?
Special Thanks to Bill who's helped me more than he knows on this and other issues... and everyone esle who posted.
@CompNovice- I was running Premiere Pro CS4 and the video did play on Windows Media Player fine without any issues, it looked good.
@ Stuart- I could open the video both in PP and Media Player, editing issues with PP (froze up and kicked me out) but played out fine with Media Player. 1. I didn't get to the point of Duplicating it although I recaptured it a couple of times (Vidoe 3 that was causing me headache) 2. Again, I didn't get to the point of capturing in segments although I did try the entire video with streamclip and exporting to fix any issues and Streamclip didn't recognize the video (strange)
