1. Re: AC3/A52 audio codec for Premiere
Harm Millaard May 21, 2010 5:00 PM (in response to Lame Tigrrrr)This may sound lame, Tiger, but I have only heard of the A52 as a highway, regularly filled with serious traffic jams.
AC3 is imported without problems.
BTW, I use ProcMon 9.

Lame Tigrrrr May 21, 2010 5:07 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)Hello, Millaard. Can you still remember re misspelling your name?
Anyway, about this A52 audio, there's no kidding here. It's there existing. I played my video in VLC, look for its audio stream and it says a52. I googled a52 and I found a page saying a52 is just the same as ac3, both are dolby digital sound. Well, I don't about their particularities but problem is that pr can't recognize the audio of my video.
Thanks for your quick reply.

Lame Tigrrrr May 21, 2010 5:23 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)But I just found something here:http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html. I hope this would solve my problem.

John T Smith May 21, 2010 6:05 PM (in response to Lame Tigrrrr)To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

Lame Tigrrrr May 21, 2010 6:09 PM (in response to John T Smith)Thanks John. But I had just done what you've said. Now I am just waiting for Pr to finish indexing and creating peak files for my assets.

dkitsov Jun 18, 2011 9:12 AM (in response to Lame Tigrrrr)This is a long shot (I am away from my workstation computer) but try importing the file in question into audition and then exporting it as something that PPro understands.

Mavoz Australia Jun 18, 2011 9:40 AM (in response to dkitsov)Thanks for the quick reply...much appreciated.
I don't have Audition with the laptop I'm on (don't think they included that with Cs5 bundle)...
but I'm trying Media Encoder instead as I write.....so thanks for the tip.
(I need to get this done within the next hour or so! Have already been working on it for about 2 hours)
I also tried Virtual Dub...I used the standard "Save AVI" feature...it produced another AVI file..that again plays fine in various media players...but when I import it into Premiere Pro...only the video comes in...and no audio track at all...
Various posts refer to using Virtual Dub to convert to DV AVI...but unfortunately I cannot find any explanation of how exactly to do this...there is no "Save or export to DV AVI" option I can find in Virtual Dub....(I've tried downloading a VFW Panasonic Codec...which apparently is of some help with this)
Other option might be After Effects I guess...or maybe a free video editor off the net?
Open to anything at this point!
Thanks!

dkitsov Jun 18, 2011 9:55 AM (in response to Lame Tigrrrr)I am sorry, but what version are you running? I just have successfully imported ac3 file in my Premiere Pro CS5.5 as well as CS5. Perhaps an issue not with an audio codec but with a wrapper of your file? OR maybe the video portion of it?
Edit: never mind, didn't notice the Ppro CS3 in your original post.

10. Re: AC3/A52 audio codec for Premiere
Mavoz Australia Jun 18, 2011 10:37 AM (in response to dkitsov)Actually you might be on the right track...I am running Cs5 Premiere Pro...from what I understand it should work...it just doesn't!
It certainly works fine to play in media player/VLC media player/DivXX player....just not in Premiere Pro Cs5...
so I don't know what I can do...
thanks for the reply.

11. Re: AC3/A52 audio codec for Premiere
Mavoz Australia Jun 18, 2011 11:58 AM (in response to Mavoz Australia)Well I found a solution...a program called Format Factory!
Very simple with multiple export options!
Converted to Mpeg4 and Premiere Pro handled that fine.
Thanks everyone.
