Adobe Media Encoder CS4 H.264 iPod video format green flashes in Quicktime

Quicktime 7.3.1 apparently shows no flashes but 7.4.5, 7.5.5 and 7.6 all show green flashes on videos encoded in AME CS4 H.264 iPod video small.
No other quicktime versions tested.
Videos play fine in VLC Player and Adobe Media Player.
Videos encoded with the latest MediaCoder sourceforge application play fine in Quicktime.
Clearly something's wrong with the way Adobe exports and the way quicktime 7.3+ reads H.264 videos.

I think it may be the QuickTime Player issue and not Adobe Media Encoder. Its seems to play find in other players like Adobe Media Player and Windows Media Player after installing Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack 2.2c. (http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Essentials-Media-Codec-Pack/3000-2140_4-1066270 9.html). Haven't check to see if it plays correctly on my i-Touch. Not all videos I encode from .AVI to .MP4 using the i-Pod small preset seem to have this issue.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 will not convert .mov video

Hello,
I have Adobe Media Encoder CS4 installed on my computer and I'm trying to convert a .mov video into a format that can be edited on windows movie maker and when I convert the video it converts the audio just fine, but there is only a black screen. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?
Thanks in advance.

No video tab in adobe media encoder cs4

Hi,
I'd like to change the bit-rate when I export, but I have no video tab in adobe media encoder cs4 v4.2
http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105647 explains how to change bit-rates but it unfortunately doesn't help me.
Any ideas would be apprciated.
Michael

I found the video and audio tabs etc.
First open in, "device central".
And then if you have "basic settings" displayed you still can't see the "bitrate" and "advanced settings".
You either have to scroll down, or close "basic settings".
And then all is revealed.

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.

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.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Suddenly Adding Black Bars To L & R

I think I may be going crazy.
Every video I have ever shot has been cropped to 720x340 in After Effects then exported as an uncompressed Quicktime movie file at 720x340. For the last year I have done this process exactly the same everytime.
On my website (www.stevenbogda.com) videos are either 360x170 or 480x226 FLV files, both variations of the original 720x340 Quicktime file. I would just bring a 720x340 file into Adobe Media Encoder CS4, adjust the dimensions and bitrate and export and it would work perfectly. Now all of the sudden, when I bring anything I shot and exported recently into AME CS4 to get it ready to go on my website, it adds BLACK BARS to the left and right side of my video (refer to image 2).
I thought it was just a visual problem in AME CS4 until I exported it as the FLV file that I planned on doing, just to find that the actual FLV file is in fact the dimensions I wanted, EXCEPT it has black bars on the right and the left...
I immediately blamed it on After Effects and started re exporting uncompressed Quicktime files with different settings and managed to get AME to work properly but it was random. Some videos were exported with "settings 1" and worked in AME but other videos with the same settings didn't work.
I went to my hard drive where I store my master Quicktime files that were used to make the videos on my site and brought some into AME CS4 and they acted the same way that the new videos I made do, with black bars on the left and right. These videos worked the way I wanted them to in AME CS4 last month, but now suddenly are doing what my more recent files do and I have no idea why.
I found out that by lowering the width of the video (refer to image 3) the black bars would dissapear slowly, but then the video would be a smaller width that it should be. I really think I am just missing something, or set some setting wrong by accident because this never used to happen and now is happening with files that once worked correctly.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated because I am spending way too much time re exporting uncompressed files just to find out they don't work.
Thank you,
Steven

Stan,
I was using the on2VP6 codec at data rates from 275k to 400k with good results. -- with the new CS$ endcoder i am used h.264 at 500k to 700k, video quality looks good but the graphic overlays look like alised crap. In the encoder settings the edges of the graphics get jaged when I make the field order progresive...
I am starting with DV NTSC video at 720x480.
I am going to go back to my old work flow and test it. The settings are a bit different from premiere pro 1.5 to CS4 -- in 1.5 i could export out an unconpressed .mov with square px and then bring that large file to flash media encoder to create the .flv

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 mb

First 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,
Hunt

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 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

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

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Issue

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 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 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

These directions are specifically for windows 7 x64
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.

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 - Encore - H.264 Blu-ray

I just exported a Premiere Pro timeline using the Media Encoder with H.264 Blu-ray format and the 1080i 29.97 HQ preset. Presumably, you would choose this so that you do not have to transcode when you get to Encore. However, when I put my 16GB M4V file in a timeline, it wants to transcode saying it is "Untranscoded". Why? It also says the Blu-ray disc is only 11GB.
Please tell me there is something I can do to prevent from having to re-encode or transcode this file when it is already in a Blu-ray format.

hello,
"This bug is with only H264 VBR 2 Pass presets and if you change to VBR 1 Pass keeping evverything same, the bug should not be there."
honestly speaking, most everyone agrees that 2 pass is better quality than 1 pass
and if this issue has been happening since cs4 and we just received our first update
to cs5.5.1 for ppro, why does adobe still require us to 'lower' quality settings...
it's almost like adobe doesn't want us exporting a full quality BD...
doesn't adobe have the resources to fix this issue already?
unless there is an acceptable answer, then shouldn't this be unacceptable...?
this is almost like saying, "yeah the full hd presets don't work, but if you use the standard def presets, you should be okay..."
especially if other authoring programs can do 2pass BD discs...
is there an acceptable answer as to why this issue hasn't been fixed?
is there any plans to update encore?
thanks,
jeffrey
