Adobe Media Encoder P2 File Size Too Big for Fat32

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project that has to be delivered on an actual P2 card.
I'm on a Mac running 10.9.1 using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29.
My final files are ProRes files and I dropped them into Media Encoder and selected the P2 AVC-Intra 100 1080 option. I set the destination to a local drive and everything seemed to encode properly. I have a CONTENTS folder and all the required subfolders and MXF files. The problem is, when I went to copy the folder to the actual P2 card, Finder told me that some of the files "can't be copied because [they are] too large for the volume's format." And, indeed, looking at several of the video files in the Finder, they seem to max out at 4.29GB (4,294,971,924 bytes), which is 4,629 bytes larger than the FAT-32 size limit.
I just now tried to encode directly to the P2 card and I got an error that was, ostensibly, a "Disk Full" error, but happened at right around where I would expect that 4GB limit to be.
Is this something others have encountered? Is there a setting I missed? According to the P2 workflow PDF here, the folder structure AME creates "can be exported directly to a connected P2 card, or it can be exported to a selected drive and the folders and files copied over to the card."
One possibility might be to split up the files into shorter videos, but I'm not sure how AME would handle ordering on the card.
Thanks
David

I wanted to mention, in case anybody else has this issue, installing and using Media Encoder CS6 produces P2 MXF files that are the proper size. I filed a bug report, hopefully Adobe can get the CC version fixed.

"Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder full ?

Hello,
I'm on latest version of both Premiere and Media Encoder, I'm working on PC/7 (64bits)/i7/Cuda,
What is "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder ?
C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
How to purge it NOT manually ? Why is it created ? How to deplace it or remove it ?
I've plenty of videos into my batch, and as soon as this folder is full, it's not exporting anymore. Even if all the old previewes are used and exported, they are not removed or automaticly deleted.
I've tried to move this folder of my D: through adobe media encoder preferences... impossible to find its reference somewhere.
If you have any idea, thanks a lot

Bonjour,
je suis sous la dernière version de Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (je suis abonné au Cloud) et j'exporte via file d'attente sous premiere CC.
J'ai le dossier suivant :
C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
qui s'engorge et ne se vide jamais, et donc sature mon disque dur OS et software sous C:
Je n'arrive pas à délocaliser ce dossier, via les préférences de Media Encoder par exemple.
D'ailleurs, je me demande même le pourquoi de son existence, et encore plus, pourquoi ne se vide-t-il pas lui même lorsque l'exportation est finie.
J'ai un batch de vidéos énorme à exporter, du coup, il sature le C: et du coup, je me lève le matin et seulement la moitié de mes exportations sont faites. Sympa pour mes deadlines.
A noter que :
- via les préférences de media encoder, j'ai désactivé les previews (la petite fenêtre qui permet de voir l'évolution et progression de la vidéo sous encoder), ça change rien.
- ce dossier ne se remplit évidemment pas, lorsque j'exporte directement via Premiere, sans passer par la liste d'attente de media encoder ("exporter" et non "file d'attente" donc.)
- je coche systématiquement sous premiere "rendu à la résolution maximale", "utiliser la qualité de rendu maximal" (jamais compris le pourquoi de ces deux trucs d'ailleurs, j'ai jamais l'impression que ça changeait un truc) et "utilisez les prévisualisations" (qui sont déjà rendues en vert, évidemment)
Merci pour vos lumières !

Attach/open file window too big for screen

Just recently I've found that when I go to attach a file in email for example, or open something in the finder the window that comes up from which I can choose my file is too big for the screen. So the bottom corner, which has the "attach" or "Cancel" buttons, is obscured. It's very frustrating... I can hit enter to attach a file but can't cancel it if I change my mind. Hope that makes sense... I've moved the dock out of the way but that doesn't help at all, and I can't use the green button to resize or anything.
Hope someone can help... I've also restarted the computer but the problem is still there. I'm using a macbook pro, and I have upgraded to the latest OSX software.
thanks

Hi!
I'd click the title bar of the application, then click on the + to fit on screen.

Media encoder making file sizes 3x bigger

I've been using Adobe Media encoder CS4 for a while now and haven't had any problems, but lately every file I try to encode comes out bigger when it should be smaller. I've tried to tweak every setting I can but nothing seems to make a difference.
I would blame it on the fact that I'm trying to encode .wmv files but am encountering the same issue with mp4 and .mov (quicktime) files. Here is a screen shot to show you what I'm dealing with - the other file, the .wmv is 77 MB but the estimated file size is 1097MB and the encoder just ends up crashing. any help you can provide to get the encoder behaving like it used to would be appreciated:

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for getting back to me. It's not actually HEVC. We load in the uncompressed AVI clips into Premiere instead. If they were real HEVC then Premiere wouldn't even let me import them, yes?
Right! I was confused about how you even imported the footage.

The blinking does not start until 50 seconds to a minute in, and randomly persists through the rest of the video. We've had to export 30 to 40 second segments of the video and stitch them together using our stuff... not the most favorable workflow.
Any ideas?
Are you exporting via the Export button (from Premiere Pro) or the Queue button (AME)? Does it work using the other method?
Thanks,

Files sizes too big when I burn CDs

I am fairly new to itunes and the imac. It seems that file sizes are pretty big when I burn a CD to itunes and are going to take up my ipod nano quickly. For instance, a 10 song CD took up 423 MB. The import settings I have use the AAC Encoder option and the quality is 128 kbps. Should I be using different settings to get the copied song size down? If so, what do you recommend?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Please double check your import settings as the avg 4 minute song imported in AAC @ 128 should yield an approximate file size of 4mb, for a 10 song disc, 40mb. A total file size of 423mb really sounds like an uncompressed format such a Lossless, or AIFF. Also, verify the format/bitrate by ctrl-click on any song in iTunes, the "get info" . The summary tab at this point will give you the format/bitrate used to import the song. I just imported a 3 disc set tonight by "Genesis" in AAC @ 256kbps, the 40 songs on this set using the above settings only gave a total file size of 438mb.

Adobe media encoder cs4 extremely slow (5 hours for 8 minute video)

I know you have seen slowencoder issues before, but I have tried everything I can to fix this and need help.
Lets start with basic info:
8 minute vieo takes over 5 hours to generate final video.
Observations: 3 processes are running most of the time, with over 2GB memory left over and available, I/O is low, CPU is at 90 to 100 percent for hours during encode.
PProHeadless.exe 48-50%
Adobe Media Encoder.exe 30-40%
ImporterProcessServer.exe can be from 30-50% CPU but not constant.
I live in San Jose, and am willng to take this laptop to your Office to debug it personally. (FYI)
CS4: 4.2.1 with all updates applied
ALL Encoder OUTPUT is set to a 128GB Solid State Drive drive so there are very low delays on I/O: SAMSUNG MMCRE28G8MXP-0VB.
This setting is in the general disk setting, media cache files, etc. All I/O is to this drive, except the project file which for some reason gets copied to temp on c drive... (no I/O there however)

I use time Warping ON SOME OF THE CLIPS, and I TOOK 2 of the 60P videos and set the time to 10% and 20% IN THIS PROJECT FOR SLOW MOTION OF THE ENTIRE CLIP.
Another note that you need to look at separately:
I have seen issues trying to time warp and 60P video interpreted at 30P and time warped. It displays fine, but WILL NOT RENDER. I deleted these and re-did them at 10 and 15% time respectively to get the video rendered.
Looking forward to help.

Harm:
Cost: I got 2 of the Kingston 128GB SSD V100 from Costco at around 165 each (after rebate). They are on sale, and there is a 40 rebate each drive (up to 2) rebate.
Yes you are right, I did not expect improvements for Premiere pro, but I installed because I use this configuration on other systems for 1 year... and here are the results...
ALL of the data on this sytem is backed up on my 8TB server. I can loose anything here and get it back. I see the OS as just another replaceable disk.
I used the system motherboard hardware Raid 0 for C: AND... I put 3 of the 1TB drives on the motherboard hardware raid as a data disk. Data disk is ALL scratch disk, for the encoded files and cache. Source files are on the other software striped drive. Of course I loaded a fresh install and moved to Windows 7 64bit...
Overall observations:
     As you predicted encode times did not improve much, It was 15 minutes vs 17 minutes at 2.66 clock. I am unimpressed with the Intel Motherboard Raid 0. I saw the SSD was blazingly fast, but I think moving these to a RAID controll they will go faster. Each SSD drive in 200+MB/S rated.
What I do see is dramatic improvements in load times of the OS and ANY program you run. The pagefile was moved back to this raid 0 drive after benchmarks. RUNNING ANY application (adobe, microsoft, ALL are blazingly fast to load).
Example: Premiere pro CS5 from click on launch to CS5 prompting for a project name was 5.5 seconds... I would not take this out of the system for any money saved. It is amazing. Almost as good as the nvidia quadro FX 4000 Display card and the CS5.
My NEXT investment IS the RAID controller, and 6 of the Hitachi deskstar 3TB 6GPS Sata III drives to replace all my current drives. Next month or so for that.
I want components that I can keep in the system when I do replace the motherboard and CPU. I will tune this system as I have funds, and ask for help when this system no longer is viable and replace the motherboard. I will ask for the fastest motherboard and CPU combo that you can buy, and keep my 730X(treme) case and add a water cooler. As drives add 1TB a year in size, they seem to meet myneeds and I replace the old every 2 years to get the space I need.
As always your comments are spot on and I appreciate your reviews.

File is too big for exporting as QuickTime

When I try to export my 2 h HD movie, through QuickTime conversion H264, 960 + 540, I get an error message telling me that the file is too big. How can i change my settings to make it work???

there may not be any room on the target drive.

File sizes too big

I have two videos to put on a disc. One is 39 minutes long and the other is 41 minutes long. As the total is less than 2 hours, it would seem they should fit onto one DVD. But once I've encoded them with Compressor the total of the m2v and aiff files is 4.71 GB (2.3 & 2.4 respectively), then once imported into DVD SP and laid in the tracks the Disk Meter shows 5.2 GB. And that's without a menu!
I'm editing in FCP and exporting from the timelines to Compressor using the following Preset:
Name: MPEG-2 60min High Quality Encode
Description: 6.8Mbps,2-Pass VBR,4:3
File Extension: m2v

2 Pass VBR enabled
Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Why are my files so big?

Well, firstly you have > 60 minutes of video, therefore, you should not use the 60 minute preset. Since you have 80 minutes of video, you're probably better off using the 90 minute preset.
Secondly, the presets assume that you are compressing your audio to AC3 with A.pack or Compressor 2 (depending on which version of DVDSP you're using). Uncompressed audio takes up lots of disc space and bandwidth.
Thirdly, the difference between the measured size in the Finder and the size in DVDSP is the difference between true gigabytes (how the Finder measures things) and billions of bytes (how DVDSP measures things). When you Get Info in the Finder, look at the number following the file size in GB... it's a larger number that's so many billions of bytes. This larger number should agree with the number you see in DVDSP. See the DVD FAQ for a discussion of this issue.

Book File Size too big?

I bought a new Sony camera and I went out to do some tests. I ended up shooting some great images (about 500) of a series that was screaming "BOOK". So I decided to make my third book using LR4 (the other two were quite good, despite Lightroom's many limitations.)
I imported the RAW files and started playing around with the layout and design. Before i knew it, I had 189 pages with some 300 photos altogether. I thought since Lightroom 'allowed' me to do it, then it must be OK, and some threads on the Blurb Forums and FAQs claim that there is no maximum file size.
After I was done after about 30 hours of work, I hit the button SEND TO BLURB and something happened where the whole book disappeared. Gone. I didn't know where or how to repair it. I didn't even know where Lightroom stores its data. I finally resorted to my Time Machine Back up which took place about an hour earlier, and was able to rescue most of the book except for the last hour. Anyway, after I was done re-doing all the lost work (I backed up the catalog) and then hit SEND TO BLURB again.
LR started rendering, but hung at about page 125. I restarted about 6 times and LR would hang at different pages of the book. I tried again this morning, and it finally rendered and started uploading, but I've gotten an Error message four times already after about 2 hours of "uploading" each time. This has been going on since 11 am this morning (about ten hours ago) and I am very frustrated. I've chatted with Blurb Support and talked with Adobe support and there was no solution.
I imagine I have to convert all the files and redo the book all over again. HOWEVER, I would like to know if there is a better workflow to do this the least painfully possible.
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN CONVERT THE FILES TO EITHER TIFF OR JPEG FROM WITHIN LR? IF NOT, CAN I DO IT FROM PHOTOSHOP AND GIVE THEM THE SAME EXTENSION AS THE ORIGINAL RAW FILES to fool LR to think they're the same file? I guess I can try it, but with all the crashing and losing the book the first time, I just want to see if anyone has any clever ideas..
thanks..

Have you opened the PDF file with Photoshop? If you do, you can then use photoshop to determine page size and dpi...every PDF file I opened was 300dpi which is what you want for Blurb. The page size is what it is, but I guess you could change that page by page in Photoshop (I don't know if you can even open a PDF in LR).
Alternatively, since you have it in PDF format, there are other printers who will accept it - size issues may limit that, but you could probably work it out. For instance if you wanted it for some fairly casual use, the MagCloud site would print it on slightly larger paper than the blurb std portrait for about 1/2 of the price (but with fewer options ...no hard cover etc).
Hope this helps

Mac OS creates huge PDF file - PDF file size too big

Hi,
I have a 80 K Word file. The file is one page, some text and a 12 KB .jpg file imported in. I then duplicated the jpg graphic 7 times (8 total images).
Here are the resulting sizes when creating PDF's using different methods within Mac OS X print menu:
Save as PDF 550 KB
Compress PDF 5.2 MB !!!!
Save as PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.5 MB !!!!
Compress PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.1 MB !!!!
I recreated (from scratch) the same content using Canvas. I got the following:
Canvas X "Save as:PDF" 56 KB
Mac OS print pdf 550 KB
Mac OS print compress PDF 2.5 MB !!!
Can anyone explain what is going on??? I can make the file available if you with to play with it.
Version Details:

Mac OS X 10.4.7
Thanks much,

Intel iMac 20", PB15 Alu, iMacG4 17, Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.4.7) Many other Macs from 128k on.

I don't have distiller on my Mac... and the point (which I haven't gotten into) is that this is for a friend who just got a Mac. So, here I was touting the ease of use and she goes and finds a way to turn a 60 kB Word file into this monstrosity. So, the point is to avoid "extra steps" and additional software (which I eventually had to do anyway with Canvas X).
I just don't understand how the Mac OS X PDF maker can take a 60 kB Word document and turn it into a 5 MB behemoth... and this is when set to compress the PDF!
I mean, a 5 MB jpeg is about 40-50 MB uncompressed which, for an 8.5x11" page is 300 dpi at 16 bit RGB color, 400 dpi 8 bit color.
I've just never come accross anything like this and am totally clueless what is going on.
Thanks for any insights.

Exporting to PDF - file size too big

Hello! Hope you are all well
I have a Price Guide that i have converted from Quark to InDesign. When the price guide was exported as a PDF at smallest file size possible in Quark, i could get it down to 5mb. At smallest file size (and modified to be even lesser quality images) in InDesign, i can't get it below 8.7mb. We need it to be below 5mb to send via email. The images it is linking to are exactly the same as the images the Quark file was linking to, but just to make absolutely sure i could get the smallest size possible, i went into photoshop and made every image that was over 10mb smaller.
I wouldn't mind telling my boss it can't be done - but we know it can be in Quark....so i don't see why not in InDesign.
Any ideas anyone?
I'm on a Mac, OSX 10.5.8, InDesign CS3.

linziloop,
I've run into the same problem. Some of my clients insist on the smallest possible PDFs, regardless of (poor) image quality. I've been able to reduce the PDF sizes dramatically by printing to PS and then distilling the PS file (someone else mentioned that this was the Quark method).
Don't know why it works, since I use the same settings (compression, etc.) as I use when printing directly to PDF or exporting to PDF. But it works for me.

Song file sizes too big from CDs

when i purchase itunes, the songs are usually between 3 to 5mb. however, when i transfer music from CDs, the song files are anywhere from 3mb to 89mb! Why is this, and isn't there a way to reduce the file sizes? because of this, i can only get about half the amount of music on my nano that it is supposed to be able to hold.
help! please!

In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing tab
You need to change it to something different when you rip your CDs.
To figure out what you want, fo into iTunes > Help > iTunes Help
Expand the table of contents and find this
*About import settings and hard disk space*
It explains the choices.

You cannot put a file which is 4GB or more onto a FAT32 drive by any means. Aside from compressing or segmenting the file, the only solution is to reformat the drive; you can reformat it to any of the Mac OS Extended formats from the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities folder, and you should specify Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format unless you have a reason to use a different one.
