File video dimensions (width/height) too large.

When using the Media Browser, I navigate to the folder where the .MPG files are located and select them. I get an error that reads "File video dimensions (width/height) too large.
Can someone assist me in the correct file format to convert these to so Pro CS4 can import? I currently have Movavi installed for a converter. I have not purchased it and would gladly take recommendations from all of you prior to purchase.
Thanks,
Johnny

After it's done when I move to the new folder with all the files, click the project file, it doesn't see all the files. When I tell it where the file is I get the "File video dimensions (width/height) too large" error. Doesn't happen everytime, but it happened enough for me to go into CS3 to fix it.
I shoot on P2 1080 24pa. The shoot took over a year so the 12+ hours of footage is spread out over a few harddrives. Just wanna consolidate everything, so I can easily move footage to other computers or upgrade to Vista 64 without having to remap all my hardrives so I don't have to search for each individual file (been there done that, not again)
Any idea about this error?

I managed to solve the problem (so far) by deleting the XMP files that accompany the MPEG video files.

We are talking about Premiere Pro CS4, right?

This is one of the reasons editing MPEGs is not a good idea. There are just too many variables for an NLE to handle them all well.

I and many other users have. Others like yourself have not. That's the problem with MPEG. It's just not reliable as a source format because of all the variables that can exist within an MPEG file.
And again, the Adobe reps (who don't seem to be technically adept users of the software, by the way) were probably referring to AVCHD, which is just one flavor of MPEG4.

Interestingly enough, I was able to import different files two or three times in the past week. Then is just stopped working.

I can't say this is the cause of your problem, but it is something you should keep in mind.

I think it's a matter of getting the right specs to conform to AVCHD. I'll be emailing their support people for insight. Thanks for helping me out.

But out of curiosity, why are you editing delivery media? Would it not be better to edit what you put into Stream, instead of what you get out of it?

Anyhow, the answer to your question is that in order to save disc space they want to capture the live show stream as MPEG-4/H.264. We're the .com of the company not show production, so we don't have direct access to the Avid system.
Thanks again.

I had the same issue with AVCHD footage. To fix it, I installed the ffdshow package.

I hope it works for you, but my personal experience with FFDShow was ugly. It caused so many problems that I needed to do a complete reformat and reinstall of OS and programs. I know opinions differ on this, but this was my personal experience and let's hope you will not have the same.

I've got Premiere CS4. Could earlier successfully import MPG videos from my camera to Premiere CS4 without problems.
Now suddenly it doesn't work - "file dimensions (width/height) too large".
I am using the same camera, same size of video as before, Nothing is different, but it just doesn't work anymore.
?????
anyone that can help??
i'd be very very thankful!!
I'm on a mac by the way, just been 2 months since I bought the program....
