Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converts MOV to F4V without sound

My environment:
Mac OS X 10.6.2
MacPro dual 2.66 dual-core Xeon with 2 GB RAM
Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS4
I have a QuickTime movie that has both audio and video components. It plays just fine in the Finder and QuickTime Player. I’m trying to convert it to Flash video for posting as a streaming file to our Web server. I’m new to Flash, and this is a bit of an experiment, so it’s quite possible I am going about it all the wrong way, but whenever I use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert the MOV file (51.8 MB, 1152×648 frame, PCM stereo audio, H.264 MPEG-3 codec) to F4V for insertion into Flash and eventual generation of a SWF file, all I get out of the encoder is a video. The video claims to have AAC-encoded stereo sound, but nothing plays.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could be doing wrong or what’s not happening properly? I’ve applied all available patches to all CS4 applications. The movie was originally exported from Keynote, if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help!

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

Hi,
First up why is there no forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
My issue is whith converting MP4 to flv.
The video is added to the que.
Problem is no video picture is shown, during the convert process.
When I go into setting and move the play head along the timeline no video is shown.
The video was generated using Apple's HD iMovie.
All setting are on default.
Can someone please help.
Why is source video has no picture. If I do encode to flv I just get the audion
Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
Regards,
Simon

well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
then using keepvid.com i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
now it works in my flash perfectly.
hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
cheers

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converted FLV files have sound but no picture

Hi,
It would be great if anyone can help - I am using the latest trial version of Flash CS4. I have used the Media Encoder to convert mpg4 files to FLV however the resultant files play with sound but no picture - just a black screen. Is there a solution to this issue?

mostly this problem is caused by lacking of
some nessery codec. Which means when reencoding your video to flv, it can not generate the video.
Does Riva FLV encoder needs any extra codec? I am using Moyea Flash Video MX 6. It do not need any extra code. It needs in the former versions but in version 6 it can convert nearly any video format now.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4, converting mp4 to flv - seriously drifting sync

(Not sure this is the right forum for this - I didn't see a forum for AME but it's being used in conjunction with Flash)
I've been trying to convert a 2:54 mp4 to flv, and when I'm done, when playing the resulting flv it tells me it's now 3:37. Of course the audio runs out at 2:54 so I have half a minute of silence.
The mp4 was ripped from DVD using HandBrake.
I tried converting using a couple of different presets and keep getting the same result. I can't seem to locate any sort of "keep video locked to audio" option in AME CS4.
Maybe it's a frame rate issue? I'm not sure how to determine the frame rate of the original, but the DVD is a burn from the video house that produced the video - US format. So probably 29.97?
Help!
- Bob

Well that did work. Unfortunately Viddler turned the previously 16 x 9 video into 4 x 3. Not sure why - found a thread there where they suggest this could happen if exported from a Mac. My source was ripped from a DVD (though it may have originated on a Mac).
So now we're just linking to it on YouTube. Crappy solution but best I'm going to get under the circumstances.
Thanks for the suggestion.

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.

Video faster than audio when use Adobe Media Encoder to convert f4v to mp4

I am using Adobe Captivate 5 on a mac record a demonstration, and I have published my project to .f4v. Now I am using Adobe Media encoder to convert the .f4v file to .mp4 (to play on an ipod). The output LOOKS good, but the video is running much faster than the audio. To be clear, the audio is running at the correct pace, but the video is going by much too quickly.

From Captivate, I tried changing the fps to a variety of speeds (12, 20, 30, 40, 60) when publishing to f4v. Then in Adobe Media Encoder, when I converted to mp4, I tried keeping the fps the same as the source f4v, reducing it, or increasing it. After all these experiments, I found that changing the fps in Adobe Media Encoder had no effect at all. Only changing the fps in the source f4v had an effect. Reducing it to 12 made the probelm worse (the video went by even faster), and increasing it as high as 60 made a SLIGHT improvement, but not enough to get things in sync. Changing the key frame distance in AME had no effect.

Using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 for MTS files

Hey everyone, I did some searching on this topic to no avail so here I am.
Anyway, I recently got an HD camcorder that records in 1080i AVCHD.
I have no problems getting the MTS files off of my camera but as I'm sure you can imagine, working with those files is a whole other issue.
I've found that Adobe Media Encoder CS4 works great in encoding these files to QuickTime format (.mov) but the problem is that the resulting file size is actually bigger than the original MTS file which is unacceptable, especially considering I'm encoding the files from 1920x1080 down to 1280x720.
Does anyone have any experience using AME CS4 to convert MTS files to a more workable 720p format for uploading to YouTube?
I've tried a number of different custom settings to no avail (where you see an "or" is where I've tried different options):
Format: QuickTime
Video Codec: MPEG4-Video or H.264
Quality: 100
Width: 1280
Height: 720
Frame Rate: 29.97 or 23.976
Field Type: Lower First or Upper First or Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
I won't list the audio options because I don't think that has any bearing on my problem.
Any ideas as to why the encoded file sizes are actually larger than the MTS file sizes? Maybe AME CS4 is not what I should be using for this task?
Thanks for your help,
Tom

I figured it out.
If you select H.264 as the format you can then select YouTube Widescreen HD for the preset.
This will set everything up to convert your MTS file to 720p and reduce the file size by around 30% with little quality degradation in my experience so far.
The only problem I encountered was the video was kind of choppy when the camera panned but that was remedied by upping the frame rate from 24 to 29.97.
Hope this helps someone and if anyone has any suggestions to improve efficiency or reduce file size post it in here.

No Sound - Adobe Media Encoder CS4

Hello,
I have been trying to convert an MPEG file to F4V using Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
However, no matter what parameters i choose on the encoding, it will always generate a F4V file with no sound.
I also updated all the CS4 package to the latest version; doesn't seem to helped a bit.
Any ideas?
Thanx
A.

mostly this problem is caused by lacking of
some nessery codec. Which means when reencoding your video to flv, it can not generate the video.
Does Riva FLV encoder needs any extra codec? I am using Moyea Flash Video MX 6. It do not need any extra code. It needs in the former versions but in version 6 it can convert nearly any video format now.

No audio on Adobe Media Encoder CS4

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.1.0.107) to convert an MPEG2 clip with WAV audio to FLV or to F4V.
The export audio checkbox is checked but the output file I get has no audio.
I'm using Windows Vista SP2.
Please I need your help !!!

I have VBR as an option under FLV/F4V. Multiple passes, too.
Nothing special here. I have used most of these settings to test them out (VBR multipass wasn't available previously in PPro) and compare them to my Sorenson Squeeze results. You'd be better off with Squeeze, but it's not too bad in this version...much better than the previous implementation of the On2 VP6 encoding.
Different vendors with their different applications utilize codecs differently. In other words, just because VBR or multi-pass encoding is part of the available spec on a certain codec (for example, On2 VP6) does not mean that the entire spectrum of options will be fully implemented in your application of choice. Sorenson Squeeze has one of the better utilizations of On2 VP6 available for the price.
EDIT - Make sure you are using Flash 8 and higher, not Flash 7 and higher. Sorenson Spark codec is limited to CBR. It's all available in the video tab under Basic Video Settings and Bitrate Settings.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 error

Hi,
I've just purchased Flash CS4 and tried the "Adobe Media Encoder CS4" that comes with it.
When attempting to launch it, I get this (see attachement) error and the program doesn't launch.
Anyone aware of the cause of this error ? How I could get it resolved etc..
Thanks in advance.

Any update on this?
I get WinFile.cpp-754 on CS4 and WinFile.cpp-785 on CS5 trying to encode the same AVI file.
I'm trying to load a 59.94 fps AVI file into PremierPro CS4 and need to convert it to something else (correct?)

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 doesn't encode audio

I'm having trouble getting the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to
work properly. I have tried multiple files of different lengths but
end up with the same output. Nice video encoding, but the audio
starts and then cuts out after a couple of seconds. The longer the
video, the shorter the audio works. The logs don't report any
issues. Anybody have any ideas?

I have the same problem just trying to crop an FLV. (Encoding from FLV to FLV on Snow Leopard).
The audio just dies about 5 seconds in (the clip is 28 seconds long).
Sucks. I wish I could find the original .mov
I wish I wasn't forced to recompress the audio.
I've tried various settings all night - most settings result in no audio whatsoever.
Also, Media Encoder alters the mod date of my original file. Why?
I'm really frustrated with this software.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 doesnt allow me to set the bitrate?

I have a Video file that I need to encode to several f4v
files at different bit-rates, but it seems I cannot change the
bit-rate in Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
I used the previous version to encode, but I cannot encode to
f4v, only flv.
Is there something I am missing here?

Sorry, found it,
Didn't realise I could scroll down to find more options in
the Encoder Window
