Help with inporting video and audio from disc.

[glennl52077132]

I have been using 2014 and now 2025. I bought 2025 thinking I would move up but the change was to great.

Lately in 2014 when importing a file from disc the the video is playing at half speed and the audio is correct.

I moved the same file to 2025 and it did the same thing.

I have searched and it appears to be something to do with frame rate????

What could have changed to cause this new problem?

My first guess is that the frame rate in your project settings don't match the frame rate of your source video files.    Other odd issues can pop up if the source video files are "interlaced" instead of "progressive". 

Can you post details about your project settings and source video files?

I think this is what you are looking for, This is streaching my knowledge of video foremat.

How did you rip the disk?

[glennl52077132]

I am sorry I do not understand "rip the disk"

[Ann Bens]

If you want to use a movie from a DVD or Blu-ray disk you need to extract the content from the disk to the computer first.

That is called ripping.

I film with a Panasonic HV-V900 HD camera, I download to disk using the Pansonic proprietary software "HD Writer AE 5.4", I then upload to Adobe software using "Add Media".  Been using this routine for years. The camera is new but been using it for several months now with no problems.

Check the Audio Hardware Preferences. Default Audio Input should be set to No Input.

Your earlier project settings post shows you have the project set to 1080i.   A standard HD video workflow is to be sure the camera is set to shoot 1080p.  (The "i" means interlaced and it was appropriate for when we had tube TVs!).   Then copy those video files to your computer using standard operating system sofware like File Explorer.   Once on your computer, use Premiere Elements to put together your video.  

When you start a new project with your 1080p footage, be sure to use a primary clip for your first clip.  That will automatically set up the correct "p" (progressive) project.  

It has been years since I had a Panasonic camcorder that used their HD Writer program.   It had some useful features for people that didn't have good video editing programs.  It also could cause problems with the footage for people that wanted to use better editing software.

It is going to be hard to make this change as I have several differental videos working in the camera at the same time. Is it worth making the change? What I could do is start using my back camera for all new videos (It is not as good as the 900 (it is a 770))

[Ann Bens]

For most people, a disk is a dvd or bluray disk (hence the confusion)

computers have hard disks HDD's or SSD's.

the camera uses SD cards. Get yourself a card reader. As Bill pointed out use File Explorer.

Using the HD writer software is not a very good idea.

Thank you. 

Just an update in general is there has not been a reoccuance of the problem and I have shot several videos since the problem first orrured.

[glennl52077132]

Well it just happened again, so the problem has not gone away.
