A friend used a Sanyo micro-camcorder whilst on a recent holiday with us. He has sent me an unedited copy of the files -exactly as produced by his camera and they are in native "MP4" format. I can view these in my QuickTime player but would really like to edit and string them together using PremPro -but our favourite prog will not download them!

I believe the "Elements" version of PremPro will load these files for processing -so there must be an Adobe solution lurking around somewhere. Do I need a special "plug-in" my PremPro -and where do I get it?
Many thanks..jb

First of all welcome to the boards. You need to download virtual dub mod. More info is in Faq question 10.

Thanks for the virtualdub/panasonic codec suggestion. Having read the problems others have had when "tinkering" with these codec thingummies, I would prefer a proprietary route!
This is my thinking:

If the good folks at Adobe have already acknowledged and worked out an mpeg4 solution for their (later) PremPro "Elements" -presumably this "lite" version uses the same coding engine as the "heavy" version I currently find lacking -then why can't they release this vital functionality as a "one-step" patch/fix enhancement to update their top-of-the-range product?

Or is this too much to expect?
