Re-Encoding with Old Encoder

Is it possible to re-import a CD to the almost-latest iTunes (I stayed with 9.2), but have it encode with an older encoder?
So with some CD's that had been imported long ago, but for whatever reason were re-encoded much more recently with a later encoder (like having it encoded at 8.0.2 rather than its original encoder of 7.2.3 for example)
I know an option is to just download older versions of iTunes, but it's difficult to try and continue that process with downloading each next version of iTunes until arriving back at my current version.
Anyone have any advice?

You'd need the older itunes version installed.
Just curious, why do you want to do this?

Can't Edit While Encoding With Media Encoder

Does anyone else get this happening to them:
When I begin the encoding process with Media Encoder, then go back to editing in Premiere Pro CC, EVERY time I hit the space bar to play a clip, Media Encoder Pauses its Encoding. Then when I stop playing the clip in Premiere Pro, Encoder begins encoding again. I'm fairly positive that Adobe touts that you can be encoding and editing at the same time, but I can't believe that this is happening. Anyone else?
Also, Encoder refuses to use my destination folder preference, instead targeting a folder I had used long ago and I have to manually target for every encode, every day.
THANKS!!!

Encoding is a real CPU/disc hog ... heh, it's an intensive process. Trying to both encode and playback in real-time ... um ... if you've got a rig with say four CPU's with 128GB RAM, two really hot v-cards that the Adobe program actually love to play with, and all programs/cache/footage/outputs on RAIDed SSD internal drives, you can maybe do both at the same time.
Think about what playback is doing ... it's not just playing the video off the disc ... not hardly. It's taking bits of video from this spot on the disk, skipping to this section of another video file there, to that one here ... and while doing that it's also immediately "reading" whatever changes you've made in editing, whether sound, size changes, color/grading, masks, EVERYTHING ... and applying that to the video it's grabbing of a disc somewhere AS it is playing it. Using a ton of CPU, disc read/write throughput, and probably a chunk of the v-card's GPU & vRAM. What's left for AME to use?
I've seen a lot of complaints around here as to why editing playback isn't smooth ... hey, in VLC, play that file, it plays back easy, what the * is PrPro doing?
Um ... VLC is playing the "straight" file, PrPro is playing back the file with all the other stuff added to it ... which isn't yet added to the file in reality, it's only instructions as to what to do to the file. So ... PrPro is essentially doing much the same work as when AME renders to an output simply to play the file in the program monitor.

Should Progressive Source Pal Footage Be Encoded with "PAL DV Wide Progressive" Preset for DVD?

Hi,
I'm wondering how best to encode a 1080p25 video for DVD. Should I encode with Media Encoder's PAL DV Wide Progressive Preset? Or should I used the other preset, which I'm assuming is interlaced?

The wide progressive preset is correct. Avoid interlacing. If you end up with little black bars showing on the Export Settings "Output" window, you can change Source Scaling to "Scale to Fill" to eliminate black edges. At bottom of export settings, select "Max Render Quality" for best downscale quality.
EDIT: just to clarify, you do want the "MPEG-2 DVD" format, and THEN choose the PAL DV Wide Progressive preset.
Thanks

Problems with H264 encoding -- corrupted files...

In Media Encoder CS5 I tried to export my Premiere Pro CS5 sequence with H264 encoding(30 fps, progressive, CBR 6 mbps, 640 x 480). Audio(AAC, 48 kHz, 256 kbps). It have made a corrupt video file(with 2 GB size, and it should be ~3,5 GB). I tried to re-export with these settings, and now the size was 1045 MB. Again corrupted file, it cannot be played... The Media Encoder says that there is no errors, the rendering was successful. After several other tries with different settings, I cannot render my movie.
What can I do?
Thanks for help!

Hello all,
This is an old thread, but it's an old problem that I'm concerned may still be continuing.
We're moving from 3.2 to 4.1. While copying our applications from 3.2 to a test 4.1 installation, we did a static file export for "All static files" from 3.2 and did an import to 4.1. We're seeing the same behavior that I and others have reported in the past - any static files that are javascript are corrupted when "all static files" was chosen. Exporting/importing each javascript static file individually appears to work fine.
If the bug was in 3.2 in that it was generating a corrupted export file when "all static files" is chosen, then I'm not concerned - we're moving from 3.2 anyway. But, if the issue is in the import then it must still exist in 4.1 and that would be a concern.
Does anyone know if this was a recognized bug in 3.2 and has since been corrected?
Thanks!

File encoded with x264 takes forever to load in Encore CS 5.5

I use Encore mostly because it takes h.264 video encoded with the x264 compressor, which provides much higher quality than any other compressor. The problem is that these files take forever to load. For example, right now I'm trying to load a video that is about 1 hour and 20 minutes long, encoded at 38 Mbps, and the file is 20.9 GBytes. Now it's 3 PM and I imported this file along with the AC3 file over an hour ago. The Encore process shows as not responding, but when I open the Windows 7 Resource Monitor, in the disk tab it shows that it's reading the video file at a rate of about 45 MB/s, so I didn't kill the Encore process. I know eventually it's going to stop and load the file, but I don't understand why it takes so long. The encoding parameters that I used in x264 are these:
x264 --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --preset slow --bitrate 38000 --keyint 30 --min-keyint 2 --open-gop --weightp 0 --slices 4 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --rc-lookahead 40 --tff --output "output" "input"
This comes from a family video that is 1080 59.94i. This time these two parameters appeared because I selected Blu-ray as the target: --bluray-compat and --open-gop, which I don't normally use, but still, even when I don't use them, video encoded with x264 takes forever to load. Does anybody here know what could be the problem?

What's weird is last year I encoded a file that was almost two hours long and Encore took it without trouble, although it was CS5, not 5.5. Since I had kept the avs and bat files, and also the x264.exe from that encode, I brought them into the current working folder and I just modified the file names in the avs and bat files to point to the new avi and encode to the new h264 file. So I encoded this file, I imported it into Encore, and it still hangs. Maybe it was a change from CS5 to 5.1 that introduced a problem. x264 has been certified to be Blu-ray compliant since over a year ago, and I already put this file to a Blu-ray with TSMuxer, since it was a family video and I didn't really need menus, and it plays perfectly fine in my Blu-ray player.
But I'm sure there must be something, one or two parameters that would make it compatible. For example, after encoding the file again the last time, now I can import it into Encore, and it doesn't stay frozen forever, but it doesn't show me the video and as soon as I try to move the timeline cursor it freezes and doesn't let me do anything for several minutes. So still it's not usable. But it's a change from the first encode where the progress dialog would be there for several hours and do nothing at all.

Steps to UTF-8 Encoding with Oracle 8i and Weblogic 6.1SP1

What are the Steps to UTF-8 Encoding with Oracle 8i and Weblogic
          6.1SP1?
          I have:
          - Oracle 8.1.5 database created with character set=UTF8 and national
          character set=UTF8
          - Weblogic 6.1SP1 without any encoding mechanism set
          (though I did play with
          <jsp-param><param-name>encoding</param-name>
          <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
          </jsp-param>
          in the weblogic.xml for a while though it seemed not to make a
          difference)
          - JSP pages set to content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'
          - JSP form POSTs set to enctype="UTF-8"
          I can copy and paste Chinese Kanji from a UTF8 encoded web page into
          form text boxes but when I post the data it comes back as different
          Kanji. Then once it is posted the Kanji stays the same on repeated
          posts. The same Kanji text also looks different when viewed in a form
          text box than when viewed as straight text on the page.
          Is there anything else? Or am I already encoding characters twice?
          Please help!

Hi
i want to create a xml file with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

F4v encoded with Adobe media encoder CS4 (longer than 71 minutes)

Hi I don't know if this is the correct place for this post. So apologies me if this is the wrong place.
Encoding with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.2.0.006 and 4.0 too)
Source: MOV (DVPAL) longer than 71 minutes
Dest: F4V (H.264)
Result: freezed frames and only plays audio at 01:11. Media Player goes crazy and starts showing some diferent parts freeze frames.
In Quicktime crashes, in VLC the same of MediaPlayer. Sometimes the audio starts to downsampling and sounds like the pitch goes down.
Totally agree with this other post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/580391
(extract)
I recentlly encoded afew F4V using Adobe Media Encoder Cs4. MOst of them are working properly but I don't know why, all of my video that are longer than 71 minutes seems to have trouble playing back. They all Freeze when they reach 71 minutes or if I navigate pass this point.
thanks and help us please!
Kik

Thanks for the interest.
I'll try to explain all details:
MacPro 1.1 (mid 2006) under Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Darwin 8.11.1 kernel)
System files: journaled HFS+ and a unix based NAS (under samba connection)
I have all material on the NAS and also I make the transcoding over it. Is a simple mov containing DV PAL WIDE interlaced 25fps with stereo audio. typical settings with nothing out of DV PAL standard.
The version of MediaEncoder CS4: 4.2.0.006 (it happens with older versions too)
The settings of MediaEncoder are:
Audio: AAC stereo 44,1 kHz
Video: F4V. MainConcept H.264, fps like source, profile high, level 4,1. CBR compression.
The problem only appears with videos longer than 71 minuts. At 01:11 starts with crazy problems. It seems like the player have some read or problems.
Tell me if you need some other kind of information.

Media Encoder CS6 with Media Encoder CC

Hi,
I have finally gotten Media Encoder CC installed. I still have Media Encoder CS6 on my computer. Can I uninstall Media Encoder CS6 without having problems with Media Encoder CC or any other CC apps? There is no uninstall optiion for ME CS6.
Thanks

Uninstalling Media Encoder CS6 shouldn't cause any problem to any CC apps, including Media Encoder CC.
There is no stand-alone uninstaller for Media Encoder CS6. In order to uninstall it, you need to uninstall all CS6 apps on which Media Encoder CS6 is depending. Those CS6 apps includes, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash, Prelude, SpeedGrade, and InDesign. Media Encoder CS6 is installed as a part of those apps. If you have any of those CS6 apps, please uninstall all of them. This also uninstalls Media Encoder CS6.

Problem with file.encoding in Linux

Hello,
I am currently migrating a java project from Windows to Linux. The project is finally shaping up now, except for some encoding problems.
All configuration files are saved in ISO-8859-1/Cp1252 format. When reading and displaying these files in Swing (e.g. JTextArea), the special characters �� are displayed wrong. I have tried to start the VM with -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 and -Dfile.encoding=Cp1252 without success (this is done in Eclipse under Linux).
I then tried the opposite. I created some UTF-8 files, started the application under Windows/Eclipse, read the files and displayed them in a JTextArea. Garbage characters were shown instead of �� (as expected). I then used -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8, and voila, all characters were displayed correctly.
Why does not -Dfile.encoding work for ISO-8859-1/Linux but -Dfile.encoding work for UTF-8/Windows? Anyone here know?
The JRE I have been using is 1.4.2_06.
The Linux is a SuSE 10.0

Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

Hello,
I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
- Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
- Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
- Encoding Time: 00:06:36
5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem. I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file. I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder. A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere. Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
Could use some advice here.
Glen
P.S. the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place. We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
WME is capturing at the following specs:
160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
29.97 fps
640x360 resolution
buffer size: 5 seconds
key frame interval: 8 seconds
I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
AME is encoding with the following specs:
FLV Multiplexing
On2 VP6 codec
620x360 resolution
800kbps 2 pass VBR
100% undershoot at best quality
160kbps stereo MP3 audio
I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
Yes, these are our source assets. They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know. I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
Thanks,
Peter

Exporting with Media Encoder 7.2.0.43

I use Premiere Pro for a very basic set up. I haven't done any video editing before and have just learnt from videos and having a go. I have one avi and one wav file that I add to the timeline and export to MP4. Using Media Encoder was fine for a couple of days but now when I try to use it I get several different messages and none are consistent or helpful or correct from what I can see.
I have my PP set to show my content status, all of my content is online but when I try to encode it says there the content is offline and it will be encoded with offline content. I thought it might be a bug so I just tried to continue and it encoded with the offline image even though my content is online and never was offline. So I have to open the project in PP, save, close and re add to ME. Then if try to encode it will start but then it stops before getting 1/3 way through and the time elapsed and time remaining just climb and climb and climb. Then if I try to close ME it crashes. I was trying to do one today with nothing but ME running on my laptop I opened Outlook and I got this error:
An error occured during playing the AVI file:
The data is invalid. (0xd)
I have cleared the media cache and that made no difference.
My apologies if this is covered somewhere in a forum. I have spend many an hour trying to find a solution and I am just getting more frustrated.

Hi Jim,
I'm having the same problem of the mpeg 2 codecs missing from adobe media encoder. I have 2 computers and on both of them the mpeg 2 options for encoding have disappeared today. Can you please help?

Premiere CS4 with Media Encoder CS5?

Hi,
When I was given my CS4 suite (production premium) years back, it included Premire Pro. Then, when I told my boss I needed to upgrade to CS5, he purchased the Web Premium Suite. This was fine, for the most part, as Illustrator, Flash, and Photoshop are the main programs I use, but we just recently got a video project that is giving me some issues.
We created what turned out being a 4 min + video. After some trial and error we settled on creating multiple segments in Flash and exporting them as uncompressed MOV files from Flash. Then we brought all of those MOV files together in a premiere pro project. The problem seems to occur when I export out an MP4 video from Premire Pro CS4. Premiere launches Media Encoder CS4 and then creates the MP4. The MP4 plays on a cellular device like we want it to, but it will not display a thumbnail/preview of the video when viewing the video in the phones gallery.
We have tried some other tests, and if we export out an MOV or AVI from Flash CS5 then convert that to an MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, there suddenly seems to be a thumbnail on the phone for the video. After multiple tests, it appears the problem might be related to which version of Media Encoder our final MP4 is produced in. ME CS4 - No thumbnail. ME CS5 - thumbnail.
The problem is, we HAVE to use Premiere as our final compiling tool, but I cant seem to get a Premiere Pro CS4 file to work with Media Encoder CS5.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Justin

but to automatically open up AME CS5 ... hmmm.. maybe a hack?
No, that will not work. Even if you have Audition 4.0 installed (beta), edit in Audition from CS5 will only access Audition 3.0.
The only way to try it is to open AME CS5, go to File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and select the CS4 project and then the correct sequence.

S video with Flash Encoder 3.2

We stream a great number of events for clients around the country. We have just transitioned from Windows Media Encoder to Flash Encoder 3.2. Is there any work around for those clients of ours that use S video out of their cameras. Flash Encoder does not seem to work when the video output is through an S video plug. In Windows Media Encoder you could configure the encoder for eitehr composite or S video. I do not see this option available in Flash Encoder 3.2 Am I missing something? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You

The option for using s-video or composite should be done on the grabber-card in youre computer.
widthout more information about youre setup, my only tip for you would be to start FMLE, select youre grabber card, and click on the button to the right, with an wrench on it to change settings on the card.

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.
