New Whirlpool Dryer
Posted by Brumar on 10/09/2007
For the record my family has been loyal Whirlpool consumers for ages. My mother always purchased Whirlpool appliances and my husband and I have done the same for the last 30 plus years. Our last washer and dryer set lasted for 14 years with minor repairs. It was with sadness that the washer died last summer (2006). At that time, we decided to purchase a whole new set. BIG mistake! Within two weeks I had someone out to do repairs. I was told that our venting system was too long (forget the fact that this dryer ducting system has worked great for years with no problem), but the heating element was replaced just in case. Still, it would take two hours at the highest temperature to dry an average load of towels. I contacted Lowe's, where the set was purchased, and they were great. They replaced the dryer. This replacement has worked some what better than the first one until the last couple of months. I am back up to an hour and a half to two hours to dry an average load of laundry (not just towels). Whirlpool has been absolutely awful when I have contacted them. Their customer service stinks and, apparently, they could really care less whether or not they lose customers, and this is one long term customers they have lost.
NEVER again will I purchase any Whirlpool appliance, whether it is their name brand or store brand. My electric bill is soaring because it takes so long to dry a load.
Next stop for me, a Better Business Bureau complaint!

The problem is your vent.Have a chimney sweep come out and clean the ducts.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-10-09:
I agree with steve and would add to check the lint screen after every use.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2007-10-09:
Ours was drying slow.. I had to reroute the exhaust and clean it out. don't need to hire a sweep to do that.

To get your ducts cleaned properly,call a professional

I would clean my ducts more often but they fly away and it's hard to catch them.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2007-10-09:
super lol!
stevefsoc...it's a small piece of ductwork. $$$more for the cleaning than for a new piece.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-10-09:
Not all applications are like that,some go up two stories,and out the roof.
Not everyone has a leaf blower to shove in the duct to clean it.
Ive seen clogged vents so bad,that the dryer was leaking water.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-10-09:
Steve, what was it leaking water from?
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-10-09:
the vent line was so clogged with lint,the heat just circulated in the dryer causing condensation
Posted by jktshff1 on 2007-10-09:
stand corrected

I know exactly what you are going through! I am appalled by their apparent lack of concern for customer satisfaction. I too puchased a set from Whirlpool after asking several repair companies which was best on the market for durability and reliability to find out that my brand new drier wasn't working from the get go. Lovely! The element was replaced (drying was never the issue, it was the noise) and lo and behold, I am right back where we started. Same noise. Brother. If I could I would just tell the store to take them back to give me my money back and buy good old whatever.
Posted by brumar on 2007-10-11:
The vents have nothing to do with the issue. We have not only had them thoroughly cleaned out, but had a whole new venting system put in just to make sure. It's all to no avail. What it boils down to is a lousy product!
Posted by volgrad92 on 2007-11-12:
I have a whirlpool duet dryer and have experienced increased drying times. I noticed the lint screen is allowing lint to get past the screen. When I pull out the screen the lint is over the bottom portion of the felt on the lint screen. I dismantled the front of the dryer and found lint build-up in the blower and the rest of the system. You can check your lint screen by taking off the white plastic assembly (three screws) inside the dryer that is in front of the lint screen. On my dryer at the bottom of the lint screen when installed, there is a 1/4 inch gap. I think this is a design flaw in these dryers.
Posted by Carol P on 2007-12-24:
We have a new Kenmore that is probably manufactured by Whirlpool. My husband has had to take the back off twice to clean out the stuff that's gone past the lint screen. At first I blamed my daughter for taking out the screen while the dryer was in motion. But she hasn't done that since the first event, so I'm willing to betcha that we also have that gap. Dog and cat hair are the worst offenders. My husband is furious at having to disassmble the thing everytime it quits. Is there any way to correct this defect? We never had this problem with our 20+ year old dryer.
Posted by slc624 on 2008-01-19:
I have a Whirlpool dryer, model LEQ9508LW0 from Lowe's.
I have the same problem mentioned just above: lint on the back of the dryer screen and triple the normal drying time. I have a honeydo neighbor, and after we decided it must be the high-limit cutoff I ordered it and he replaced it. Still have the same problem, although at first I thought it was drying better, apparently the placebo effect.
We just took the back off for the third time and looked around the filter to blower area. The only thing we could find abnormal was a lot of lint on the blower blades, but nothing like an actual clog. It did confirm that there was lint in the post-filter area where it shouldn't be, still don't know why but I suspect it's as mentioned about the Duets above, a gap between the filter and the housing. This dryer isn't even two years old and I am exceptionally annoyed about this. I will spend more money next time and get one of the German brands - I'd rather spend it up front and get long-term reliable use out of it than wasting so many hours troubleshooting and poking around it, plus the money for both the parts and the honeydo neighbor!!

Whirlpool Duet Dryer Started My Clothes On Fire
Posted by Nicoli628 on 01/15/2010
Today I had the shock of my life, my Whirlpool dryer (about one year old) set the load of clothes in it on fire. I couldn't believe it, the dryer was turned off and had been turned off for almost two hours when the fire broke out. The clothes were destroyed and the towel at the bottom of the load was totally ruined with burn marks...I am not talking about small burn marks, the towel was burned through and several items of clothing on top of it was burned as well. My grandson has asthma and he was here and could not breath from the fumes and this thing was so hot it seared my throat and burned my eyes when I opened it. We had to take the clothes outside and hose them off to stop the fire as they were smoldering so badly. I have pictures of the clothing and someone will be out to look at the dryer tomorrow but I do not care, it is out of here. I will not put my family in danger with this fire hazard again, it is gone tomorrow..period. Please be aware this machine is a total fire hazard and I just am very thankful I was here when the fire started or I may not have a home tonight.

Posted by CrazyRedHead on 2010-01-16:
When was the last time you cleaned the dryer out. I just cleaned my front loader out and it had more lint in it than I ever got off of the screen, and mine is a little older than a year. I had to remove the screws to where my lint screen goes in and found enough lint inside to make several body pillows. I also changed the lint hose going outside occasionally to. Lint can be dangerous and has caused many a fire. This was explained to my by my fire department and the man of my dryer. Our FD said that that is the biggest cause of dryer fires that they see.
Posted by Nohandle on 2010-01-16:
Your dryer had been turned off for two hours before the fire broke out? I gather it had been properly vented at the time of installation. Stories like this really spook me and for that reason I never leave my home with an appliance running.
Excellent advice Crazy.
Posted by PepperElf on 2010-01-16:
yeah i never leave home with appliances running either.
well my apartment that is
well unless you count taking the trash out
well unless you count the coffee pot cos it's always plugged in
(eh i've been watching too much doctor who...)
Posted by old fart on 2010-01-16:
Dryer sheet residue will also cause a problem.
We only use liquid fabric softener as a result of what happened to our dryer, ( a coating of burned residue) on the inside of the cabinet!
Posted by Nohandle on 2010-01-16:
LOL Pepper. I certainly don't unplug all appliances when I'm not home but learned my lesson once when I put a dish in the oven to bake and walked over to the neighbor's home. I was gone a very short while and as I walked into the kitchen the element in the oven caught fire. It made a believer out of me.
Posted by PepperElf on 2010-01-16:
yeah i don't leave the oven baking etc.
well i have at times left a crock pot on, but to be honest i don't like doing that either.
well it doesn't matter at the moment though cos i don't have a crock pot here, that was at my boyfriend's old place.
well... i have been guilty of leaving a candle burning though. was pretty worried on the drive home from college, but all was well. and i made sure i didn't do THAT again
Posted by jojo2206 on 2010-08-10:
My Whirlpool Duet dryer has started on fire 2x's now. The first time the vent hose that goes up into my attic & roof was a bit clogged so that was my fault - although I clean the lint trap every single time I used the dryer. This last time it's the dryer! I clean the lint trap with every single wash - and clean the hose every 3 months! The lint goes through the trap and into the dryer around the drum where it collects, overheats and starts a fire! I will never get another dryer from Whirlpool again!

My whirlpool duet dryer (which was only about a year old) burned my house down in March of 2009. It was not due to lint build up, but a manufacturer defect. My insurance company is currently in a lawsuit with Whirlpool.
Posted by Reef on 2013-05-04:
Came home last night after was gone for four hours. My whirpool dryer was on fire. Dryer was off when we left the house ,was able to umplug it and pull it outside the house ..few mire minutes it would have burned all my house.i guess we are lucky this time to loose just the. Clothes and the dryer itself unstead of the house
Posted by naye on 2013-05-17:
My whirlpool dryer about 2 years old caught fire yesterday. The dryer had been off since the night before. My husband opened the dryer door and flames were shooting from inside the dryer. The dryer burned extensively and caused damage to the washer sitting next to it, all the laudry inside it and several items sitting around it. This was not caused by lint build up as this is checked regularly to avoid something like this from happening. The washer is salvagable but I will not be replacing that dryer with the same make.

Washer and Dryer Eating my Clothes & they don't do ANYTHING!
Posted by Alib1999 on 04/06/2010
MICHIGAN -- OK, So we have 3 month old washer and dryers that we purchased, and about a month ago the washer "ate" my sons shirt. I never seemed to be able to call during the "correct hours" and I finally did so today as I was off work (we are on the West Coast). The washer ATE my husbands best work dress shirt and now 2 of my sons shirts...and I am furious! I called them at Whirlpool and they do NOTHING! I think they should at least give replacement value to the items! All the woman did was kept repeating my name saying that they don't do anything about it...and if I read my warranty...blah, blah, blah...so we spent a fortune on these machines thinking we would have them for many years to come, and now they have cost us the insane price we paid, and 3 shirts...and now a day off work to meet them on Friday to see why this is happening in both the washer and dryer! Oh, did I mention that she told me that she has had this complaint already with a few other customers...I NEVER saw this on line when we were researching these machines! I would NEVER buy WHirlpool again! I think they should do way more for you when you spend that kind of money on a washer and dryer! Or...if you spend anything on a new appliance! Just poor service! And, poooooooor attitude!

Fire Hazard
Posted by The one and only vee on 02/25/2009
I purchased a new WHIRLPOOL dryer less than a year ago, and have a lint trap on top which I clean as I put a new load of clothes in or if I need to put extra minutes if clothes aren't dry enough anyways, one morning I smelt burning, sorta like popcorn,{but worse} woke hubby, it was coming from dryer, after taking the back off the dryer there was at least I kid you not 10 inches of burnt lint all over bottom of dryer, it really looked like at the time like insulation thats how thick the stuff was, there is NO way that amount of lint should have gotten all the way packed under the tumbler, it bypassed the hose, its scary to think they have this fire hazard out there.
We were lucky this time, we all check lint traps but who takes the backs off to look? SCARY!!!
PS- I have photos to prove it

That is scary. I wouldn't think to take the back of the dryer off and check it either...have you been in contact with Whirlpool to see if there is some sort of defect that can either be repaired or replaced?
Posted by The one and only vee on 2009-02-26:
i did contact whirlpool, yet to get response, never did i ever expect in my wildest dreams expect that one would have to remove the back panel of a dryer to see if lint would acculate to the point of reaching the heating element which was the burning smell, we were so fortunate, i have kids and pets we all would have proabally died. i am constantanly cheching the dryer now the lint burnt bad and as i said it resembled the thickness of insulation , my hose was clear as well as my hose going out , it took several emptying the vaccum to clear it out, and the burnt smell stayed in my house and clothes for some time.Sigh!
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-02-26:
Vee, there are a couple of members here that know quite a bit about appliances...hopefully they will stop by your post and be able to offer you some real advice on what you should/can do about this. Thankfully you caught it before anyone was hurt! Thanks for posting, this is great information.
Posted by qualityappliance on 2009-02-26:
This is without a doubt a venting problem. Somewhere the vent is either plugged up or was at some time disconnected. If the vent hose were not connected securely link can be sucked back into the dryer through the slits in the back. This design of dryer has been in production since the early 70's with virtually no changes, so it is not a manufacturing problem.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-02-26:
I agree with quality.Have your house vents cleaned...
Posted by SilverWngs71 on 2009-02-26:
How did you contact them? If you contact by email, good luck as the email system there gets alot of emails a day and can be a few days to even a week before they may respond.
1-800-253-1301 is the number for Whirlpool. When you call in speak to a rep and let them know what happened to the appliance. If you have pictures of the lint and how it was burnt, even better as they may ask to see it. You will probably not get to the safety team as there were no flames. However they may send out a svcr, I would recommend not letting A&E to your home. Ask for a local authorized servicer to come to the home. Good luck.
Posted by The one and only vee on 2009-02-28:
I appreciate all the response. TY!
im not knocking the venting issue, but the lint was nowhre near the vent, it totally bybassed the the lint trap, the lint was under the tumblerer burnt near the heating element, and the hose that goes to the outside was clear, i actually got the vaccum and stuck it in there myself to check to make sure it wasnt clogged ,and had my husband go outside once dyer was running to check the flow of the air once dryer was up and running..I'd be glad if WHIRLPOOL would show as much concern this is what they sent as a reply : am sorry that you have had lint problems with your Whirlpool dryer.
The use and care guide does states you need to have your lint cleaned out once a every two years or as needed. The amount of lint that collects in your dryer, depends on how many clothes you dry. If you have a family you may need to have the lint cleaned out of your dryer more often after one year's use.
You are a valued Whirlpool customer and we apologize for any inconvenience and the problem you are experiencing.
We invite you to contact Whirlpool again either by calling (866) 698-2538 between 8:00am to 11:00pm EST weekdays or by emailing whenever the need arises.

NOpe!I hope you have a fire marshal or an insurance investagator check into the cause of the fire,and get back to the fourum and let us know the out come, I hope all will be well with your friend and family and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time.

Duet Washer And Dryer Set
Posted by Fquinn on 01/13/2008
OMAHA, NEVADA -- This duet whirlpool set is a poor excuse for a washer and dryer. My clothers are not white anymore they are all turning gray and they smell terrible. The dryer does not dry my towels and dishtowels after eighty minutes and this is a small load. I had 12 or more service men out to correct these problems and they don't know how to fix this problem on the washer and dryer where does a person go?
Whirlpool puts out junk and should be ashamed of themselves I want my money back so I can go out and buy a top loader washer where my clothes will be white again.

It is true that front load washers will not clean as well as a top loader if your laundry is heavily soiled or stained, that is just the nature of the beast and is the trade off of using less water and energy.
The best way to keep your whites white is to use quite a bit of liquid chlorine bleach. If I have something that needs a little help, I add bleach through the soap portion of the dispenser after the wash cycle starts.
The smell is caused by soap residue left in the machine after the cycle is complete, causing mildew to develop.
Long dry times are usually an indication of a vent pipe restriction.
12 repair men? Apparently not a real technician in the bunch.
Posted by SilverWngs71 on 2008-01-13:
I recommend to keep the door open for about 15 minutes after the final wash load to let the unit air out. This will help when dealing with the odor. Also you can take a small rag and wipe out the gasket area to keep moisture from attaching itself to the gasket, causing the mildew. There is a new product by Whirlpool out called Affresh and it was made to help in cleaning the interior of the tub. Affresh.com is an area to read up on it.

Good Products and Service
Posted by on 07/28/2002
CALIFORNIA -- Well, my baby just turned fourteen and that means that my Whirlpool Washer and Dryer are also 14 years old. I have to compliment Whirlpool on their excellent products and services. For 14 years I have washed and dryed approx. 25 loads of laundry a week. I have used my warranty service several times and have never paid an additional penny for repairs, and the servicemen are very nice and helpful.
I expect to purchase a new washer and dryer within the next few years, and will buy only Whirlpool products.

I sold white goods for 12 years and I would say Whirlpool is the best made washer next to Maytag (ge is good to). Since Maytags cost more, Whirlpool is the best made laundry for the money out there, and today- they may be just as good as Maytags. In fact, their dryers always were. Just my 3 cents.

Musty Smell on clothes after washed and dried.
Posted by Glyndol6 on 08/06/2011
I've had my Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer/Steam Dryer for a little over a year, and almost from the first the clothes that come from dryer (not steam cycle) smell horribly musty -and almost with a too hot, or almost scorched scent, and I rarely use any cycle except the normal cycle on the dryer. There is a particularly unpleasant, almost dirty smell on clean towels and wash cloths immediately upon re-wetting for use. I always air dry my dirty towels if not washing immediately and never let them get soured before washing. I wash and dry 7 to 8 loads a week, rarely missing more then two days between doing laundry.
I clean my washer with Affresh regularly, and can detect no smell coming from either the washer or dryer when setting idle - only a hot (but not unpleasant) smell from the dryer immediately after use, and definitely from the clothes themselves after removal from the dryer. I've used Cheer HE, dryer sheets, Tide HE detergent and Snuggle Fabric Softener - all with the same results. I've tried using extra an rinse cycle just in case I'm using too much detergent. Our city water is clean and fresh and has no odor.
I wipe out the washer door seal frequently, and always leave the washer door open a couple of inches when it is setting idle. As I said, I cannot detect any odors in the washer, or the dryer.
I am thoroughly disgusted with this problem and wonder if other consumers are also experiencing the same.

Clean clothes shouldn't smell musty. Did you contact Whirlpool while the machines were under warranty?
Posted by At Your Service on 2011-08-07:
You seem to be using the unit a lot. You also seem to be rather savvy about the proper use.
When using the dryer, you may want to try adjusting the level of dryness. Too much moisture left in absorbent cloth, such as towels or wash cloths, may be one problem. Over-drying other forms of fabric can be the reason for the other.
If it's still within the first year, you should absolutely contact Whirlpool service to document the problem. If it's after the first year, but under a form of extended warranty, you should contact the warranty provider to do the same.
Overall I think Duets are pretty good units. I know people that have them and are reasonably pleased.
Let us know how things turn out.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-08-07:
While At Your Service is trying to be Helpful, I think you should trust your instincts, OP. I'm sure you know if you are over drying or under drying your clothes. And even if that's the case, under no conditions should they smell horribly musty. I have always had a basic dryer and top loading washer, and the clothes have always smelled clean and fresh, never musty. There is definitely something wrong with your machines.
Posted by At Your Service on 2011-08-07:
I wasn't trying to say there was something wrong with the machine. There might be. I've found that the way you wash in a front load is different than with my older type of top load. Drying towels and such along with lighter, more non-absorbent kinds of fabric may cause the problem.
I was thinking that if you have a service call on them, and they're not under warranty, that may just be paying a person to come out and say they can't find anything wrong. If they are under warranty, I wouldn't blame the OP for calling someone out. At least the complaint would be documented.
Just my personal experience.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-08-07:
I agree with At Your Service that you are savvy about the proper use of your washer and dryer, which indicates that there is something wrong with the machines. My guess is that internal mold is causing the smell, especially if it has gotten worse over time. I hope you reported this to Whirlpool before the warranty expired. If not, you're probably on your own. On the bright side, Whirlpool might have denied that something was wrong with the machines and done nothing to help you under the warranty.
Maybe Chris Polk will see your review and respond.
Posted by Seck on 2012-07-09:
I am having the same problem and I am very frustrated because this machine was not cheap at all! Clothes are not smelling or feeling clean and I also follow the instructions.
Posted by katie on 2013-09-04:
I have similar issues, I've heard we should drain the water from the front loading washers on numerous sites but my manual doesn't say anything about this?? Does anyone know of this problem or how to drain?

Astoundingly Bad Quality
Posted by Rgdavis on 11/17/2007
We bought the top-of-the-line Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer three years ago for the front-load format, low-water usage, and expected longevity.
1) Dryer turns off before clothes were dry on automatic cycle. Warranty visit replaced parts. Marginal improvment.
2) Dryer turns off before clothes were dry. Warranty visit found no trouble. The problem continues to this day.
3) Dryer doesn't get hot. Authorized service visit replaced parts for $275.
4) Washer tub bangs sides on spin cycle and washer walks across the room regardless of load size. Authorized service visit proposed a $600 parts overhaul. I fixed it myself for $80 of parts. It was caused by poor engineering that omitted a lock washer and poor factory assembly leaving a nut loose.
5) Washer smells continuously. Whirlpool says to run a hot bleach cycle. It really requires a 6x/yr bleach scrubbing of the plastic collar folds in front of the drum to control some of the smell. Bacteria embeds in the plastic and the smell comes back quickly. Regardless, the first load of a day releases sewer gas into the room that is not improved by hot bleach loads.
6) Washer door handle plus dial knobs on both washer and dryer cracked off with gentle handling. The same poorly-designed replacement knob is $20 for $.02 worth of plastic.
Wife complains continuously. I'll never buy another Whirlpool anything.

Posted by SilverWngs71 on 2007-11-18:
Problem # 5 has a remedy. It's called Affresh. www.affresh.com Have heard no complaints about it so far. Was made specifically for HE washers. Bleach only kills top layer of bacteria; however, Affresh gets under bacteria and cleans out the residue.
Posted by qualityappliance on 2007-11-24:
The original cause of the odor is from using too much soap. The soap residue keeps the bacteria in the washer after the cycle is complete, it then get imbeded in the rubber bellows. As for broken knobs, I've worked on probably 1000 of these units and maybe replaced 5 knobs total.
Posted by Mario The Great on 2007-12-01:
Kudos to Silver and Quality. I had no idea that just using bleach wouldn't solve the problem and that soap was the root of bacteria. Thanks for the info.

What nut was it that was loose? We have the same washer and dryer, and the nut on the back of the washer drum (that is used to attach the pulley to drum) was loose and then came off during spin, now the whole drum needs to be replaced. (40 days now and still not repaired, washer has only been used for eight loads of laundry.) Also, what lock washer?

Whirlpool Electric Dryer WED8500BWO
Posted by Rfreder418 on 04/24/2014
MADISON HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN -- I purchased a Whirlpool Washer, Dryer, Refrigerator from Home Depot in January, 2014. Refrigerator is on the second service call. Smelled burnt popcorn one day, took clothes out of dryer, discovered there were burn marks on them. Called service, they came out, said rubber on wheels are disintegrating. Ordered new wheels, said not to use dryer. Called Home Depot, said to call 1800-HomeDepot, who said to call Whirlpool. Whirlpool said we need to try new wheels and see how it goes. I am scared to use the dryer, afraid the house may burn down. They said they hope it won't and to call back if there is a problem after the new wheels are installed. good news, only need one more service call on frig, then they have to replace. However, the safety hazard is the dryer and I do not feel they care. Never again for Whirlpool, bad, bad company. Just cost us $4,000+ to discover this. Don't buy this product!!!

New dryer VERY LOUD
Posted by Mj6583 on 10/10/2013
We purchased a Whirlpool dryer in June. The decibel level is over 80. The average decibel should be between 60-70. We have had 7 service men out and all have indicated the noise level is way above normal. Whirlpool refuses to replace the dryer since there is no mechanical replacement to fix the noise level. I will never buy or recommend a Whirlpool product.

Apparently you have had imcompetent service men look at your dryer. It is very easy to determine where the excess noise is coming from.

Not as good as Shogun. Staff is rude, made us wait until more people arrived before taking our order, even though the restaurant had been completely empty. Mixed up our orders. Food was mediocre. Save yourself the hassle & go to Shogun.
Sushi Ok - Ambiance Nice – My husband and I got sushi and seaweed salad here. The sushi was ok but nothing special for the price. The seaweed salad was pretty good though.
We decided we wouldn't go back because we can get better food elsewhere for the price.
The ambiance was nice.

For the past four years, I have enjoyed {a little too much for my husband's liking} putting together a family "theme" for our Halloween costumes. It all started in 2007, when my oldest finally had a little sibling and there was someone to "coordinate" costumes with.... That first year, he was a cute little fireman and his baby brother was a dalmation puppy. Here is a pic of our fire crew:
2008... I thought, hmmmm well he agreed to be a puffy cloud of smoke last year, what can I talk him into this year?? :) My oldest really wanted to be Dash from the Incredibles, so we just went with it, and decided to go as the entire family!
2008: The Incredibles
I had fun making all of our costumes (we only bought the muscly Dash suit!) And thus began our Pixar costume tradition :)
2009: Monsters Inc.
My husband officially withdrew himself from our family costume themes this year :) But this was probably my favorite year of costumes! I had the most adorable little Sully you've ever seen...
So, I decided to make my very own Celia costume :) My son didn't appreciate the fact that I was now his "girlfriend" for the night! But the 3 of us did look pretty cute together, don't you think?
2010: Toy Story
I finally had my baby girl to add into the mix! My boys were obsessed with Toy Story last year, with the release of Toy Story 3, so they were super excited to go as Buzz and Woody. I couldn't wait to dress up my baby as Bo Peep :) She wasn't very happy in this picture... but this is the only one I got of all 3! (Oh, and just for the record, I tried to dress up as Mrs. Potato Head and it was pretty much a disaster. That is why I am not in this picture!)
So now here we are, 2011. It is officially the end of our family theme costumes. I don't know why I feel so bad about it.... I mean, really, I have a 1st grader now and he wants to choose his own costume and I should let him. I did let him... he chose this:
Darth Vader. You know, the high-quality one-piece polyester jumpsuit with the velcro tab in the back? Yeah, that is what my son is wearing this year. And, not to be left out, his little brother picked this one:
I was a little apprehensive at first... no theme, cheap costumes with plastic masks.... can I really do this?
But then, the Iron Man costume arrived in the mail and my 4-year-old hasn't parted with it much since. He has been happily playing/eating/napping in this thing for the past several days! I can't believe how much joy can be derived from a single polyester jumpsuit! The smile on his face is priceless.
So, I guess it is worth it. My boys couldn't be happier with their costumes this year. I am trying to let my crafty-perfectionist tendancies-mom-guilt go, and just enjoy the holiday with a smorgasboard of costumes :)
I will end with the one costume I did make and planned a few months in advance... my baby girl as Alice in Wonderland. {I thought I could get my boys to go along with my theme and be the Mad Hatter and White Rabbit... no such luck!} That's OK, she is pretty adorable all on her own:
For any of you who are still looking for a last minute costume idea, check out this feature from Real Simple: 10 Last Minute Halloween Costumes
There are some fun "play-on-words" ideas that could be pulled together really fast! Here is my favorite one:
Source: realsimple.com via My Sister's on Pinterest
{Get it? Pumpkin Pie...} Ha! This would actually be funny to wear to Thanksgiving dinner too :)
But let's not rush into Thanksgiving just yet... we still have 1 day of Halloween costumes, candy, and trick-or-treaters left to enjoy. Have a Happy and safe Halloween with your loved ones!

Just out of interest... does anyone know where the Forum on Ruthie Henshall's website disappeared to?
It must have vanished about 6-8 months ago.
Generally it was those anoraky types rattling on about how she's appearing in Ipswich or at an Eisteddfod....
Occasionally people even criticised La Henshall for singing out of tune or for forgetting the words (Cadogan Hall Aug 09)
Anyone have any idea how the forum met its end?

As a parent, I can understand the frustration of parents who had to scramble to make alternate arrangements for last Friday's protest day and the further frustration when the protest did not happen and schools were open.
Many people kept their children home from school anyway, either because they had already made plans, or as their own form of protest.
I sent my kids to school, because frankly, that made my day a lot easier. I don't know if the teachers will have another opportunity to walk-out in protest. If they do, and my children are home from school, we will make our way down to the corner where their teachers will be protesting peacefully.
It is important to me that they see what's happening. In life, when you feel that something is not right, not fair or violates your rights, you must stand up and be heard.
You may not win. You may not even be right, but if you do nothing, you guarantee that you lose.
It is irrelevant where I stand on this subject, children need to learn how to respectfully stand up for what they believe in.
Plenty of people are making their voices heard about how unfair this situation is to parents and children.
They have that right, but you should not begrudge the teachers their right to take their stand, even if you don't agree with their position.

periodically for some unknown reason, (seems to be ANY disk accesses by some background app?) usually dw freezes during that time for about 5 minutes after the disk access is over. a few times it is shorter, but not usually.
- if I am doing a manual virus scan of my machine, the minute the scan starts, dw becomes locked up and the GUI refuses to redraw and it might even say (not responding).
periodically for some unknown reason, (seems to be ANY disk accesses by some background app?) usually dw freezes during that time for about 5 minutes after the disk access is over. a few times it is shorter, but not usually.
What Anti-Virus program? How much memory is in your system and how much is free before the start of the scan?
in all the dw cs5 built-in templates, charset for UTF-8 (should be upper case to meet w3c validation) is in as utf-8.
- <script></ doesn't close the tag with html5 pack. neither does anything with SVG or MathML, which are part of HTML5.
This problem looks to be fixed in later releases. You might be able to update the template but hard to say.
- the full set of modules for css3 and css2.1 are not supported in the HTML5 pack. I would like to do browser testing. I would also like to future-proof my investment! don't just do the minimums.
- the full set of HTML5 tags, attributes, input element types according to the w3c standard are not included in Insert, tag portion of the menu in the HTML5 pack.
This I will confirm. But it is Adobe's argument for the Creative Cloud about providing updates on a more regular basis by moving to a subscription model. Only way you are going to see more updates is to upgrade more often or move to the Cloud.
there needs to be a fixed refresh button for reinterpreting code/code+design/design view when changes have been made and something goes wrong like a redraw failure, or for when a problem has been fixed and you would like to see if dw sees any broken tags left.
Not sure I understand what you are asking to be refreshed. You can refresh the Live View but what is not refreshing Design View?
I don't understand enough javascript to discuss the js syntax highlighting you are expecting.
ANY antivirus, such as mcafee. I have a 32-bit system. at the time I had 3GB RAM when doing the scans. right now I have 11GB of VM over 2 drives.
yay on the UTF-8. I wish they would fix it in adobe labs html pack because us CS5 folk need that fix. hello??? I hope I didn't spend $2800 for a paperweight.
update it? just tell me how...
too many clouds and not enough hard dirt we can work with. cloud costs more money than wtuff without it. I can't spend my hard earned money on cloud stuff. I think "the cloud" is highly overrated. expensive during these times.
whatever happened to updates? I thought that was a part of the product? I have sent in huge quantities of valid buig reports on cs5 and gotten back maybe 1-2 total adobe updates, and no fixes for any of the things I reported. maybe adobe ignores their wishform? sometimes, because of the unusability of dw, I have to break out notepad++. sigh.
I was told that the random 5-minute hangs are actually a "feature". has something to do with dw detecting whether a file it has open is opened by something else or not. this is not the behavior I am seeing. the behavior I am seeing is that if ANY file is open in cs5 4993 or even earlier, this causes dw tohang for as long as the program is opening files (such as an antivirus opening files to check signatures). this irks me and makes dw freeze and its GUI not redraw during that time. oftentimes there is no dialog ythat comes up saying that there is file access like there is at sometimes, so behavior is not consistent.
what I would like to see is that at least some filepath detection, AND, maybe one of two things:
and if it is not one of the above 2 things, totally ignore and don't hang.
McAfee & Norton are notorious resource hogs. It doesn't matter how much memory you have, they will take over your computer. And they frequently cause other apps to slow down or stop responding until the AV finishes whatever it's doing. I got so annoyed with the top AVs that I actually considered not using any at all. Finally downloaded MS Security Essentials. It's great! No more intrusions or memory leaks.
I think "the cloud" is highly overrated. expensive during these times.
Initially I thought so too, but on closer look, Creative Cloud looks more like a win, win for multiple product users. Where else can you find 17 products for the intro price of $29.99/month?

just saw this. apparently XHTML5 is not offered in the html5 pack either.
I was hoping to use this right now in another test document.
17 products? is that master collection? I know I won't be able to afford it right now. I will think about a subscription, but I don't likew the idea that if I can't pay one particular month, I will lose the entire package, my settings, my environment, etc. and I don't like setting things up from scratch over and over. on the plus side, it's a nice price though.
I only do manual scans with mcafee. I noticed it always breaks during the scan of 1.68TB of data. I hope they fix it. that's another discussion.
the issue isn't mcafee. it's dreamweaver I am having trouble with. I expect a slowdown, and yes I see that during the scan, and this is not too much of a problem (it's manageable). but when an application locks up totally THEN I have a problem. don't shift blame here. as an software developer and software tester, I know a problem when I see it.
and this is a problem with dreamweaver ONLY. I have 200+ apps installed on my machine and this is the only app that does this.
by the way, the difference in the algorithm I *think* between dw's tag checker, and my algorithm is this: to check for orphaned tags, you do this: when you have reached the end of the document, and you have eaten all the tag tokens, check to see if there is anything left on the stack. if there is, DON'T throw it away. that is your orphans list. those need to be flagged in yellow.
I would like to see that fixed in cs5, please, if possible. it should be a fairly minor change in code. and you will have VERY USEFUL results, (people will love you for it!)
as things stand now, dw only highlights the *surrounding* tags that have the problem. not the tags that have the problem.

This is a user-to-user forum. Adobe engineers don't read these posts. It's highly unlikely that Adobe will make further improvements to an old product given that CS6 is due out this week. If you have a bug or feature request, please submit via the link below. Your suggestions probably won't make it into CS5 or even CS6 but may surface in some future release.

but when an application locks up totally THEN I have a problem. don't shift blame here. as an software developer and software tester, I know a problem when I see it. and this is a problem with dreamweaver ONLY.
Not shifting blame here. I can sympathize. Several people have reported unacceptable lock-ups which appears to be caused by Facebook code.
You might try disabling "Display External Files" from your View Menu.
Good luck,

I don't have facebook anymore for security reasons. so this is not the problem. what exactly is "display external fies"?
I searched dreamweaver help for "display external files" and found the articles I think you may be referring to, but I have windows. http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-cs3-performance-prob lems-mac.html
thanks for the tip.
I get these temporary hangs when I just am typing html in code view.
not very often does my stuff contain images. but I will check to see if it does and watch for this behavior and see what kind of code I have which might be causing this problem. apparently this is something I need to bring up to support - and pay to get support to report a bug in their product. :-( this is so wrong.
I will have to try rosetta mode if it's there is windows.

There is no Rosetta mode in Windows. Just modifying that setting may be what Nancy was referring to. The Facebook code is not what you are referring to. Nancy is referring to hosted applications for Facebook that you can develop in DW.
And just to clarify my point from earlier, the point of the Cloud per some of Adobe's influential staff is to be able to push out updates more frequently. As David stated in another post it has to do with tax-laws and regulations about recognizing income. But Lifehacker actually did its own study and found that if you upgrade every version it is cheaper than paying $600/yr for the Cloud. And I share the doubt with you that going to the Cloud only makes sense if Adobe shows an act of good faith with some updates. I remember updating to CS5 to fix a bug in the color picker of all things.
To your XHTML5 comment, I didn't think XHTML5 was being actively developed anymore. HTML5 is capable of XML serialization. If you have news to add here please feel free.
Maybe the next step here is showing us a document that is hanging up to try and reproduce the error for you. As a software developer you can respect that Adobe will be more likely to fix issues that are experienced by the most users and are reproduceable.
ahh - silly me - I should have read that article a little closer. of course it's mac specific! rosetta must be some mac-specific thing in the finder or something. (?)
actually XHTML5 is same standards document as HTML5, but XHTML 2 was dropped. see how to make an XHTML5 document at http://Jesusnjim.com/web-design/create-XHTML5-Document.html

Players can select their gadget, track evidence, upgrade their gear, set and detonate bombs, and more, all without ever leaving the game.Reimagined Gadgets - All gadgets have been reimagined to utilize the power of the new controller. For example, players can now use the new Sonar mode that enables Batman to quickly probe his surroundings to develop the tactics needed for success. Players can then select, customize and equip their preferred gadget loadout, as well as access a real-time map of Gotham without ever leaving the action of the game. The new controller also allows for an unprecedented level of accuracy when using the Batarang and scanning for clues.Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition Content - Included on disc are all previously released downloadable content: Harley Quinn's Revenge Pack, Catwoman Pack, Nightwing Bundle Pack, Robin Bundle Pack, Challenge Map Pack and Arkham City Skins Pack.

As you should know... many municipal water systems use well water, and others use surface water and/or a mixture of the two, AND the water is treated in settling/filter tanks and/or with a flocculation process in most if not all cases to get rid of visible and invisible 'dirt' before the water is disinfected and sent on its way to customers.
You should also know that although that has been done, all municipal waters create sediment in their water distribution lines running to each customer's home or business and in many locations fire hydrants are used once or twice a year to flush any of that sediment out of the lines as best it can be but, not all sediment can be flushed out.
Although resin should not be used as a filter, it is a pretty good filter media when it comes to removing invisible 'dirt'. As you and I know, a dirt build up in/on resin kills its ability to soften water.

Keyword research allows you to bridge the gap between what your potential customers are searching for and the content you create for your website. It can also help to map out the structure of your website so that keywords are targeted appropriately across the onsite SEO elements of a page.
The goal is to end up with a list of keywords which are:
Other modules and lessons will go into a lot of detail about how to use the keywords you find. But we will briefly explain a few points here to help give some context as to where you'll be using these keywords.
Once you have these keywords, you will use them in a number of ways:
Once you can identify the keywords your target customers are searching for, you can write content based upon these keywords. You will want to create content around your informational keywords as well as the transactional ones. We explain more about this below in the "Understanding Types of Keywords" lesson.
Links to your website will contain "anchor text" which is the portion of text that you click on. The search engines use this anchor text as a ranking signal and will use it to help them classify what the page being linked to is about. Generally speaking, you want to make sure that some (not all) of your links include your target keywords. This will help you rank in search results for these keywords.
The research you conduct will help you define which categories you want to use and what the sub-categories will be. For example, if you sell leather sofas and this is a popular keyword, you may want to include a category called "leather sofas." You may then find that a lot of people search for "corner leather sofas," so you may want to make this a sub-category of leather sofas.
When a user types in a search, Google typically relies on HTML elements to match the content on your site to that specific query. Without optimizing key HTML elements (title, body content, headers etc..), you won't be able to rank, it's as simple as that.
For now, the following diagram should help explain the basics of which elements need keyword research attention:
Here's how that page would look in Google search results:
Ultimately you want to attract visitors who are going to convert into customers, if you can identify keywords which will lead to more conversions, you are more likely to see a good ROI.
Google in particular is becoming much more advanced at predicting the intent of searchers. For example, if you search for "apple," are you looking for the fruit or the technology company? Through a lot of user testing and machine learning, Google has determined that its users are probably looking for the technology company. Hence Apple's #1 position on Google.
While you do not have much control over this, user intention should be a priority when you are choosing and filtering your keywords. You want to be targeting keywords where the intention is likely to lead to a conversion for your business.

Sony Pictures Classics acquired the film last April soon after it wrapped shooting in Paris, substituting for Brooklyn. SPC screened the film for the New York Film Festival committee as soon as Polanski released a print; the fest called SPC to invite the film at 8 PM Wednesday. Telluride and Toronto did not see the film and are not happy about it, as they now will not be able to show it. The movie will have its world premiere in Venice and North American premiere at New York. Sony plans to open the film in December.
SPC co-president Michael Barker is delighted that Polanski comes full circle, as the very first NYFF's 1963 booking of Knife in the Water marked the Polish filmmaker's emergence on the international stage.
The selection committee chaired by Richard Peña includes critic Melissa Anderson, Film Society associate program director Scott Foundas; Dennis Lim, editor Moving Image Source; and Todd McCarthy, chief film critic, The Hollywood Reporter.
General Public tickets will be available September 12th.

Making Eggs Benedict is a challenge, what with getting everything done at the same time. These packets make it a little simpler. This tastes like the real thing, and is far superior to any bottled sauce I've tried. I kept waiting for someone to review it, but finally took a chance and ordered a box. I tried it this morning, and was very pleased with the result. I added a slice of tomato, as well as the Canadian Bacon and poached egg on the muffin half, and that gave it some added tang. I like that there are several ways to warm the sauce, depending on your choice- microwave, boiling water or poured into a pan. It wasn't easy to open, so I used kitchen shears to cut it open, and that worked just fine. The pour spout is just right. There is just enough in each pouch for two muffin halves with poached eggs.

Why can't you get this in larger quantities???
Delish...buy it!
By Happy Val Gal
from Los Angeles CA
Have never had a pre-made Hollandaise that tasted anything like fresh...until now. While not overly rich, is just flavorful enough to satisfy without feeling guilty for indulging. I use less than a full packet, refrigerate and use the rest in a day or so, therby cutting the calories and stretching my enjoyment.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to edit footage taken from a lumix camera shot in AVCHD.
I upgraded my CPU to i7 3770K to handle the beating of the decoding, but still very slow.
This AVCHD files are tough to decode. Stuttering and cracking as it plays back.
Is there a way I can convert it to a faster format for accurate editing?
This one's a guitar track and I need the fingers to sync so its quite an intricate job.
Any advice and help appreciated!
Are you on CS5, 5.5 or CS6? CS6 AVCHD is broken and you need to transcode it. CS5 and 5.5 seem to work fine. There are a couple of other threads on this (at least one started by me). Adobe have acknowledged a problem and we are awaiting a fix.
I'm in CS5, its pretty bad, really hard to edit videos like that.
Sometimes I say, why AVCHD!!
Then you may want to describe your system more. I have zero problems playing multiple AVCHD tracks in 5 & 5.5.
Core i7 3770K Processor,
16GB RAM 1600MHz
7200RPM hard drive (sata II) - 500GB & 300GB
Nvidia Quadro FX3800
Gigabyte Z68XP motherboard
Any advice?
Could you give me an example of a system that runs things smoothly?
As in tell me the specs of your computer and what you use, and your settings if you overclock, etc.
Sorry for the dealy, had a client meeting....
Quad i7 2600 - 3.4Ghz (over clocking makes no difference, it plays OK at 3.4Ghz)
Nvidia GTX 570
1x2TB HDD for OS
2x2TB as RAID 0 for Video
I'm not that far off, cant see why I'm having issues...
Can you explain in dummy/child language to me what the reason for a RAID O and 2 drives for it are for?
Sincere thanks
Oops - I actually meant 3x2TB Raid 0
RAID 0 gives much faster read/write speeds for hard disk. This raid 0 is running at around 245MB/s for reads and 236MB/s for writes and gives ma 6TB of HDD space. Of course, with RAID 0 you need to keep regular backups because if any one of those drives goes down you lose everything.
However, you don't need a RAID for AVCHD. Our iMac with a single HDD for OS and data works just fine, Quad i7 3Ghz and 12GB ram. So, I doubt that your hard disks are the problem.
Yeah I dont think its my hard drive either...
Could it be the video itself that's the issue? The fact that the format it was recoreded in was a pain?
But surely there could be a platform that could man handle such videos.
Lesson to be learnt, never shoot with AVCHD cameras?
We shoot with AVCHD all the time and (with the exception of the current CS6 problem) have zero problems with playback. And I do mean zero. It just plays.
Is this the only video / file you've tried editing?
BTW - I'm assuming (stupid of me I know!) that you've done all the CS5.0 updates? If not, you SHOULD.
Would indicate which hard drives you've have configured as scratch, etc from with inside of PPro? Adjusting this could have interesting results. Also, it could be your Nvidia Quadro FX3800 since its technology is a few years old.
Do the files play fine in Windows Media Player?
If so, it shows that the AVCHD decoder in Adobe (which is not the system one) has issues with that particular H.264 stream.
If not, then there is something wrong with your system. - based on your specs you are WAY above what's needed to play AVCHD.
Spot on right, its a software issue. Media player plays it perfectly well, so if Premiere doesn't do that, something's wrong.
Downloaded the CS6 demo and it all runs okay. Not perfect, but okay.
It's probably worth running through media encoder to transcode to something more suitable for editing if you are still having problems.
CS6 has a very specific problem with AVCHD on the 6.0 release so don't hold your breath.
This thread from a couple of days ago discusses digital intermediates that may be of use to you...

How long are your clips ?
What is your longest clip in a sequence?
Premiere Pro version? CS6
How long are your clips ? Its a short form edited piece with clips that vary from 1 to 20 seconds.
What is your longest clip in a sequence? 20 seconds, but only one or two of these.. Way to long to stay on one shot for this project.
Your choice of graphics card, read/write speed of your external raid array and processor speed really make a big difference with AVCHD. At least that has been my experience.

Forgive me, but I think you may have missed the cause of the problem. There is no problem with AVCHD in short clips.
The problem is when you are dealing with long / spanned clips, such as from a live event where the recording could be as much as 30, 60 even 90 or more minutes (e.g. a wedding ceremony, speeches, a seminar presentation etc). This causes AVCHD to span several 4GB files and CS6 seems to have to read all of the files from the start each time it wants to access even a small portion in the last span file. 20 Second files are not spanned and don't have a problem.
Try making your own 30 minute recording (one clip) and import that. Try to play from the start for a few seconds, then stop and jump to 20 minutes in and you will see the problem.
I see. I did miss that. My apologies. Since I dont work on projects like that I have not experienced that issue.
I actually have the same kind of issue with AVCHD in PP 5.5.
Until now, i was working with DSLR and XF MPG2 files natively flawlessly.
Just got a couple new B cam (Canon XA 10) and the playback in PP is crappy.
(BTW, this is not Hardware related, i work on a dedicated video editing station, i7, 24gb , GTX 570, 12XR3 w/Areca controller, Black Viper configuration...)
- Of course, the source files play flawlessly using any video player like VLC, Gom, Media Player, Quicktime...
- I tried every different way to import the files from the card, a local disk, full directory.... but the source file and sequence playback show the same kind of flikering / artifact / stutter from time to time. The problem doen't show at the same time of the playback , proving it is not something wrong within the file itself.
- this doesn't show when i export through Media Encoder (thanks god!)
I did a lot of digging on the forum, but found really few solutions.
Encoding the files to ProRes or equivalent prior editing is of course out of the question.
Does anyone had this kind of problem ?
CS6 seems to be buggy with AVCHD too, that's a bummer for such a fairly common format.
Yeah, its a software issue. I downloaded CS6 and it got alot better, better enough for me to finish up the project.
It gets worse when you begin to apply shadow/highlight effects on the clip. Not pretty.
But yeah its a software decoding issue Adobe needs to sort out.
It is not extreme to say that this is a major problem, i mean AVCHD is really common in low-middle class pro cameras.
I hope they fix this in CS6 as soon as possible (there is some kind of problem with MTS files), i will upgrade then
Slight correction:
i mean AVCHD is really common in low-middle class pro cameras.
Harm, i have been following your advices for months and glad i did, my editing station is really good and i am really gratefull.
But this time i have to disagree, i stand my point regarding AVCHD camera.
Sony FS100, HXR-NX5, HDR-AX200 are really common in small productions. mostly news oriented , at least in Japan where i live and work.
Not to mention the highly anticipated FS700 to come this summer...
I am not talking Arri or Red of course, but those are still low & middle class Pro camera never the less. Maybe I sould have add "ENG"
IMO AVCHD is consumer and at best prosumer level, like the NX5, but 'pro' is at least XDCAM-HD, AVC-Intra 100, MXF 50, or even better like RED, Epic, Arri. Of course you can have another opinion and completely disagree with me, but that is my perception of 'pro'. I tend to follow the BBC rules of 'pro' being at least 4:2:2 format and at least 50 Mb/s data rate. So that also excludes the XDCAM EX series from being pro in their standard configuration, but rather prosumer level in my eyes.
But, heck, what is 'pro'? It may mean one thing to some and a completely different thing to others. There was a time when I called every camera with a weight of less than 1.5 KG consumer, between 1.5 and 3.0 KG prosumer and over 3.0 KG professional. That of course is a real shortcut, but you grasp my meaning I hope.
Ok, you are right, and i agree AVCHD isn't a good format to start with.
The 'Pro' level here is actually pretty low (except NHK standards) you would be amazed...
But it shouldn't be a problem for such a powerfull software as PP to deal with such a consumer level format, it is so all over the place in camcorders and digital cameras too. That is what is bugging me here...
From the size of your SATA II drives I suspect they are years old and not a good "balance" for the rest of your build.
Bigger and newer drives (SATA II or III doesn't matter too much, but cache size and size of drive do) are WAY faster.
Also, try checking the box (hard drive properties, policies tab) "turn off windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" and turning drive indexing (another Windows performance sucking default) off if you have not done so already.
On a different note, do you have any third party filters loaded? I've seen magic bullet projects give user's here at the forum issues and it seems to be related to some filters not being able to access all cores (and hyperthreads) from your cpu.
Let me chime in here and say I'm having either the same problem or a darn similar one. My hardware is pretty good (very good for an iMac):
I'm running CS6 on OSX Mountain Lion and capture presentation for a non-profit I work with where the session length is typically 90-120 minutes. I have a higher-end consumer video camera that records the full length video in AVCHD and then I use my Canon 5dMII to take shorter clips (audience questions and speaker close-ups). In any event, the performance with the AVCHD is aweful. Almost unusable. Whereas the higher bandwidth Canon video is absolutely fine.
I'd love to know if anyone has identified an effective way to work with AVCHD (longer clips anyway ... as that seems to be part of the problem) inside of CS6. I'd also be interested if anyone thinks that transcoding the AVCHD to something else before editing is the right answer and if so what codec do they recommend?

It seems that a high percentage of the time you can ingest the AVCHD footage using Prelude and have it transcode it for you prior to sending it to Premiere Pro. Now, I can't be specific, I did some tests then got very busy and it's going to be a while before I can get back to them, but I have some clips that work fine in Prelude but not in Premiere Pro, or indeed Media Encoder (which is odd, since Prelude is sending to Media Encoder to do the transcode!).
What you transcode them to is entirely up to you Lots of people love ProRes, others like DNxHD, others say convert to P2 AVCIntra and so it goes. Choose one and go with it. If you're happy with the results stick with it, it you're not, change.
The disadvantage of ProRes and DNxHD is that they use the Quicktime wrapper that Adobe still bridges to via a 32 bit wrapper. Some poeple think this is a problem, I've found it not to be a problem (on the Mac at least). The advantage of transcoding to something that is considered 'native' means that Premiere Pro should be able to use it's 64 bit code (for what that's worth) to decode and play it.
Frankly, I'm so dissapointed by Adobe's stance on this problem. They 'buy' the codec from a 3rd party so are saying it's someone else's fault. That may well be, but why haven't Adobe obtained a 'fix' from the codec company? Are we to beleive that some one is on the phone every day to the supplier asking where the fix is, and that the fix will come as a CS6.0.x fix, or are they going to wait for a paid upgrade (which will upset a lotof people) ? Do they think that they have managed to weather the storm of compaints and are nopw able to sweep it under the carpet? Who knows?
What I do know is that it's caused me to look elsewhere and frankly if they don't get this fixed very soon then I will be abandoning the Premiere Pro platform because it doesn't do what it claims to do, i.e. edit my AVCHD natively.
C'mon Adobe, step up to the plate here and give us a fix. It's been 7 or 8 months now! How much longer do we need to put up with this nonsense? Other apps, including FCPX and earlier versions of Premiere Pro work fine with the same media. Why is this so hard to make work?
That is pretty shabby Adobe. This product costs way too much to ignore such an adopted standard as AVCHD!
@ExactImage, I thought I'd try your suggestion of using Prelude to ingest the content. I've never used it before ... don't even really know what it is ... but it's installed. I launched it and it immediately crashed. I tried again. It crashed again. Jesus. Well I don't have time for this right now.
don't know if this will help you, Todd (adobe) posted a work around for Nikon DLSR footage that is saved in a MOV wrapper. As I recall, he suggested that you rename the file extension to MPG. Apparently, if its a MOV wrapper, Premiere tries to use the 32 bit quicktime engine to work with it, but if you change the file extension, the file is apparently processed using a 64 bit codec. I've done this and the playback is indeed much smoother. Find his thread for the details, I've described this from memory.
Well I'm back with a new video camera but a similar problem. This time the brand new Canon Legria HF G25. Very nice consumer video camera but unfortunately it doesn't play nicely with Premiere ...
@SFL46, I did try your proxied suggestion of renaming the file from .MOV to .MPG but it had no better performance. Finally, I thought maybe I would transcode the .MOV file to the Vimeo HD 1080p-25 setting that is likely going to be my target platform and hopefully be able to work with it in that format without issue. Sadly it appears Adoabe Media Encoder also crashes trying to transcode it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated ... I'm desperately in need of a solution as this work is my first "paid for" work and I seem to have my footage completely locked up. :^(
- H.264, 1,920 x 1080 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo
- Data Size: 13.54 GB (running length just under 2 hours)
- Data Rate: 15.90 Mbit/s
Download the trial program of a competitor and see if it handles the footage.
I am trying to find a competitor's transcoding software so I can work within Premiere. So far HandBrake and RoadMovie have been fails. I would love to stick it to Adobe for this grievous foul but I'm too invested in their software to move away without serious attempts to get it to work.
You might be able to finish work within the thirty day trial and then use Adobe CC and see if it fixes the problem.

Since Handbrake doesn't read it I conclude there is something non standard in the MOV container. I guess Canon only tested against the QuickTime Player. I would see if you can re-wrap it with ffmpeg since it's the most tolerant of all those sorts of programs.
ffmpeg -i input.mov -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.mp4

Um I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure that a _TRIAL_ is for evaluation purposes only. Any finished product that is then used would be a violation of that agreement.

» From "Ean and Billy on new cd" // October 12, 2009 3:39:36 PM UTC
Here's what I've been able to piece together regarding who played on what from various interviews, liner notes, etc.:
Ean plays on Little Thing Called You, Comin' Back For More, Raining In My Heartland, Hobo Kinda Man, the live tracks, and probably Bang Bang.
Billy plays on Raining In My Heartland (obviously), the live tracks, and I'm pretty sure that's him on Bang Bang. I'm not sure if he's on anything else. Johnny said in a Billboard interview that Ean and Billy were both on Hobo Kinda Man but I'm not hearing any keyboards on that one.
Producer Bob Marlette plays piano on Southern Ways and most likely does the other keyboard parts not played by Billy.
Session player Michael Rhodes plays bass on the remaining tracks.
While Billy and Ean are not listed under musicians, they are listed as Lynyrd Skynyrd members (look at the top of the page in the liner notes). Peter Keys and Robert Kearns are not mentioned on the album, though they do appear in photos on the album.

Work will be suspended during the Nevada Day holiday on Friday and Saturday.
