Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files
I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.
I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
The big red arrow.
You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
Your button is not grayed out.
Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely. Good luck.

Adobe Flash Professional CS4 freezes when trying to save
It doesn't exactly freeze, but the only option is to force quit Adobe Flash Pro CS4 when I open the save dialog on OS X. This results in every project ever being lost.
I can export but I cannot Save As. The window opens but no options are clickable, and I can't Cancel.
Help.
Edit:
I have had this problem for two years and I even reinstalled deleted all preference files, no luck.
Running latest version of Mountain Lion.
I can use the entire app (like change workspace type or menus) but I can't do anything that's greyed out, Save or cancel the Save As... box.I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 runtime error
I am wondering why I am getting a runtime error while
attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4...As soon as I launch
Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it crashes I have installed and
reinstalled Flash a couple time, to see if this corrects the
problem, which it doesn't, and just last week it was working
fine...Does anybody have a ideal what is going on?Don't know if this helps anyone else, bt the runtime errors i have been getting occur when I try to build and burn a blu-ray file. And they happen intermittently. In fact, on this project, I had burned several test blu-rays without difficulty. When I made one minor change on the penultimate version, and tried to burn again, the system crashed with a run time error. Then it crashed 9 more times over the course of the week.
Finally in frustration, I created an interim ISO file in Encore- ie in the build workstream, i selected burn an image file rather than burning a blu-ray disk. After this intermediate step completed, i then did a separate burn in encore but burned from the image file. No snags.
Not sure why but this program has trouble doing a sequence of activities. As it is, I already render and save the file before burning. Now I have another interim step to create an image file before burning.
In my next hardware change, I am going to switch to make Mac and Apple software. Enough of MS Windows and Adobe, the GM and Chrysler of the software industry. Hopefully what my friends tell me is true; that Apple stuff actually works. -
Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Encoding Error
I got an error when Adobe Media Encoder CS4 encoding which is the crash of ImporterProcessServer. It crashes the halfway of the encoding process. I restarted my comp and tried several times before but the results still the same. Sometimes ImporterProcessServer did not crash but the encoder failed compiling without any error.
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHZ
RAM: 2GB
OS: Win7 32bit
Graphic: Nvidia 8600 GeForce 512 mbFirst thing to check is what is on the Timeline at about the 50% point. Do you have an odd Asset there?
Do you have a gap in the Video at about that point?
Then, do you have adequate defragmented free space on the destination HDD?
Good luck,

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.

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!
KikThanks 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.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 hangs when adding files of varying HD resolutions.
I've seen questions similar to this related to CS4 but never explained very well, and my CS4 for mac worked fine. I am unsure if this is a new problem or a windows specific problem but here is the situation, if you need more information I will gladly provide it.
For the past week or so I have been encoding 1920x1080i mov files (h.264/aac) to 1280x720p (vp6/mp3) flvs. When I stick to that single HD format in the AMC processing que everything works great. However, when I add older HD content into the AMC que, content with non-standard presets, the program hangs. I tried to import about 15 files last night and the program just sat there all night in a '...NOT RESPONDING' state. The video's have different audio and video settings and it's little difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were. Some are 1440x1080, some are 1280x900, some have PCM audio some of mp3.
Now I temporarily resolved this issue by simply using cs4 master on my mac pro which worked great. However I have noticed a huge speed increase in CS5 64bit AMC. It takes 2-3 hours to encode 1 flash video on my mac pro (dual quad core xeon 2.9Ghz/32GB ram) with CS4. It takes ~20 minutes on my windows 7 station (single core 2 quad 3Ghz/8GB ram) with CS5.
How to replicate:
If I drop a single file into the AMC CS5 que, regardless of the resolution, frame rate, or sound codec; it will import. If I then add another file with a different resolution AMC will hang and become non-responsive. It never crashed but I can't wait 12+ hours to see if it accepted a job or not. As I said before this problem was not observed on CS4 for mac - it worked flawlessly, albeit a little slow.
Software used:
Adobe Media Encoder CS5 windows 64bit
Adobe Media Encoder CS4 mac 32bit
System specs:
Windows 7 home:
Core 2 quad 3Ghz
8GB ram
80GB SSD x25-m
nVidia Quadro 580
OSX 10.6.3:
Dual Xeon 2.99Ghz
32GB ram
4 7200 disks in 4TB raid 0
Radeon HD 2600
Matrox MAX h.264 compressor card
Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time
-Michael EmanuelHi Michael,
Sorry to hear you're having problems with Adobe Media Encoder. I'd like to get some more information about the problem so I can better understand your workflow, and potentially try to recreate the problem. For what it's worth, I often import files of different resolutions without any problem, so I want to find out what's different about how you're using AME.
Apologies for the long list of questions; the small details can be important.
-- After you import the first file, what else do you do in AME? Change the preset? Change the settings? Change the output destination?
-- What are the properties of the files that are causing the problem? You said it happens on "non-standard" files, but can you describe the specifications for one or more files that cause the problem? Please include file type, length, frame rate, frame dimensions, field order (if applicable), alpha mode (if applicable), and audio type and rate. If you know more the bitrate, both video and audio, that would be nice, too.
-- If any of the files are small enough, could you post a couple online that I could try on my machine?
-- How were these files generated? What application created them?
-- Where are the files stored? A local drive, a network drive, a removeable drive (USB or Firewire), etc.?
-- Which Adobe application or suite do you have installed? AME a limited set of options if you're using Flash or Web Premium compared to Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro, or After Effects.

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,
TomI 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. -
Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Crashing Immediately
Hello,
I am running the CS4 Production Premium suite on a Windows 7 64-bit computer with 12GB RAM. Up til last week, the whole Adobe suite had been running smoothly. (I primarily use Premiere, Media Encoder, Photoshop, and Encore). However, Encore started locking up the computer any time I tried to work on authoring a Blu-ray (it locked up immediately upon opening a Blu-ray project, and only locked up on a new project when I switched from DVD to Blu-ray mode).
I assumed that some of Encore's source code had either been moved, overwritten by something else, or that there was possibly a program incompatibility with something else on my computer. So I took the step to uninstall and reinstall Encore from the install DVDs.
Upon a "successful" reinstallation, I then went into Premiere CS4 to encode a timeline to a P2 file. Premiere seemed to be doing its normal exporting process fine, but Media Encoder would crash after the red splash screen disappeared. To be more explicit, the red splash screen would disappear and be replaced by a window the normal size of the Encoder program, but nothing appeared on screen in the window other than a small white box in the upper left with the rest just being plain gray (see attached photo). At the same time this white window appeared, Win 7 popped up a box saying that Adobe Media Encoder has stopped working and that it would search for a solution to the problem, which it never could do.
I then tried deactivating the suite, uninstalling the full suite and reinstalling, updating so the patches would bring it up to date, and then tried running Adobe Media Encoder again, this time running from the Start menu rather than from Premiere. Yet, it was still the same response: the program crashes immediately.
I would appreciate any suggestions and help that people can provide.
Sincerely,

I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and when I go to File → Export → Media and put in my settings Adobe Media Encoder CS4 sends a Error Message...
The procedure entry point
??0NewHandlerInitializer@ErrorManager@config@dvacore@@QAE@X
Z could not be located in the dynamic link library dvacore.dll.
Thats the Error Message and I tried MP4, Quicktime, H.264, and FLV / FL4 and NONE of them work!
So I got the updates and reinstalled it and tried it again but it still broke!
I NEED A SOLUTION!Hi,
Did the update through the Adobe Media Encoder menu item succeed? If not, could you run the "Adobe Updater" program explicitly. The path is "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater6\Adobe_Updater.exe". This should search for all available updates and show a dialog box in the end. Click on 'Show Details' in the left bottom of the dialog to bring up another dialog with the list of available updates. Do you see any "Adobe Media Encoder" updates in the list? If yes, could you select those checkboxes and install updates for Adobe Media Encoder? Let me know if you see different behavior on your system. -

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 problem
I having a ***** at Adobe
I do have a lienced copoy CS4 Design Premium. I down loaded premier pro CS4 to demo it about 8 months ago and had not used it up to about 1 weeks ago. All that time Adobe Media Encoder CS4 did not work. I came back to the problem last week when I wanted to convert a video to a FLV file, did not work, I went through uninstalling and reinstalling Design Premium: reloaded parts of the the suite still did not work: went to the forums and tried every which way to get resolution nothing worked. This morning I opened up Premier and it world not open without serial key I was only a week into the 30 trial period. So I uninstalled premier. Reloaded the Media Encoder and guess what it worked. I am know looking at buying another product. Another thing while using the trial version I could not demo encore CS4.
****** off
PS I have now uploaded the FLV to my website. I never had any problem with AME CS4 until I loaded Premier CS4

It may be hidden since it's a system folder. You can get to it one of two ways.
Either: Hit start button + r to get run, then insert (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\) without the () and press enter. *This is assuming that your username is Administrator. If the folder exists it will take you there, even if it is hidden.
Other way: hit start button on keyboard and type in "folder options". Press enter when it shows up in the start menu search. Click on the View tab then select "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". This should enable you to see both the AppData and Roaming folder. You may want to undo these selections otherwise you'll see files you usually don't want to see. (thumbnail caches...)
If neither of these methods work, let me know which folders you see in this directory "C:\Users", Administrator may not the account you're currently running on. -
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. -

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.
