Cant open Encore 1.5 Projects in Encore 5.1

Hi there,
I have done a lot of projects with Encore 1.5. A while ago, when I bought a new PC, I updated to Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (with Encore 5.1).
Now I tried to open one of my old 1.5 Projects in the new version - bam, the program crahes. Tried this with all projects (more than 10) - same effect with all of them. The project files are still ok and work fine in Encore 1.5, but it is impossible to open them in 5.1.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Robert

Easiest step is what John suggests.
I'm not surprised that an Encore 1.5 project won't open in EN 5.1. But it is interesting to speculate as to why.
For one thing, the pars changed at CS4. I wouldn't expect that to crash EN, but who knows.
You can experiment by creating a new EN CS5.1 project, importing the menus from the old project folders, then import as timeline the old transcoded assets. If that works, then work on navigation.
Starting over is not that bad if your navigation is not complex.

  • I cant open existing  DVD SP projects anymore.

    I am running 10.6.6. with DVD SP 4.2.2. I cant open projects that were built maybe a year ago. I get the error message "Invalid project file format" The project was made March 2010. This is also true for other projects.

    We've seen this often over the last few months so scroll down or search, you should come up with something helpful. IIRC, a recent ProApps update damaged some folks' DVDSP. But not everyone; my two installations were unaffected.

  • Cant open Windows After Effects project in Mac

    Hello,
    Im unable to open an AEP that was created on windows on my Mac, we are both registered to cloud and have the same updated After Effects version 11.0.3. The windows version runs on After Affects CC and I don't, could this be the issue, im downloading it now.
    Thanks,
    Help quick would be greatly appreciated!!

    Correct. AE projects are not backward compatible - unless explicitly saved down to CS6 from CC.

  • CS6 on Windows 7 - when I try and send my project to Adobe Link, then to Encore I repeatedly get the error message "Encore has stopped working, windows will close the program".  I get the same error message when I try and open Encore on its own.  Help wou

    Both when I open Encore as a standalone program, and when I try and export my work via Adobe Link to Send to Encore, I get the same error message - "Adobe Encore has stopped working.  Windows will close the program.  Help would really be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Now that is impressive Stan, thankyou!  So simple ...  I don't suppose you know why the "build" button is greyed out do you?  Don't worry if you don't have more "magic dust" at your fingertips, I'll re-check my settings again, and again ...  Thanks for your help.  Doreen.

  • Why can't I open Encore

    I get this symbol when I attempt to open Encore. The same notice apperas after rendering a project in order to burn a DVD

    OK, a couple of things to try. Not sure exactly which order I'd attack in, but let's try it this way:
    1.) Invoke the error message. Immeditatley open Windows' Even Viewer and follow along with the suggestions in this LINK. It's a PE article, but should apply to En. Might be some worthwhile clues there. You will have to dig around a bit, as these clues will likely be hidden amongst all that cryptic code.
    2.) Try a Repair Install from the DVD. You start the install like normal, but once the installer has initialized, and your system surveyed, you should see a list of the programs on the DVD. Check En. This will usually lead to another survey of the installation of En. You should get two options:
         a.) Uninstall
         b.) Repair Install
    It's b.), that you want. If you have missing, or broken .dll's, etc., this should replace them with good ones from the installation disc.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS remember that with the Repair Install, you will first initialize the installer, just like a normal install. Be patient.

  • Urgent: i cant open my project!

    i re-installed Leopard then installed FCP, and when i wanted to open my project which i have on an external drive, i get this message: "File's format is too new for this version of the application"
    and i cant open the project...
    i need help! a month of work is in the project!!

    thanx man.. the problem is gone. i had some issues updating it though. the problem was that i like to put all the FCP studio apps in one folder inside the application folder, so it seems that the software update manager couldn't detect FCP. i had to get them out of the folder back into the application folder. it took my time to figure it out, but the problem is solved.
    thanx!

  • Why Can't I open Encore in Premiere Pro ?

    I'm only 14 days into my Adobe Cloud subscription.  Is that why Encore won't open? I tried to send a sequence from Premiere Pro using dynamic link and I tried
    to open encore on it's own.  Neither way worked.  What's my solution?

    Right, the splash screen.  Right, “not responding” is at the top of the screen.  Right, it freezes on the same message all the time.  I can’t tell you which one it is any more. When I click on the short cut icon on my desk top or the same icon next to the app in the program window I get the message: “Adobe Encore.exe” that this short cut refers to has been changed or moved.  So the short cut will no longer work. I uninstalled premiere pro and reinstalled it. and it reinstalled with the yellow caution sign. When I clicked more details it said “installation complete though some components failed to install correctly. Install couldn’t find “file (seq 261) That was error #DF 012.  Error DF 024 said it was unable to preserve original file at “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\32\Adobe QT32 Server.exe” error 5.  Access is denied. (Seq 261. Premiere now works fine but the dynamic link to Encore has Encore grayed out, so it’s not functional.

  • Cant open iMovie projects

    Help!! everytime i try to open an iMovie project it doesn't work. After i try to create an DVD , exporting to iDVD the following message appears: "The project could not be opened, because the folder is locked, or the folder permissions are incorrect". I checked the folder's permission and they are not locked. I cant figure out , what´s the problem. Does anyone know the solution to this? Thank you and forgive my english.

    It's not clear to me whether the iMovie project has trouble opening or the iDVD project.
    If iMovie complains about a permissions problem when you try to open the iMovie project, the problem can be fixed by re-building the project folders.
    This workaround is for this error message in iMovie 4: "The project could not be opened, because the folder is locked, or the folder permission are incorrect. If the project is on a CD-ROM, network server, or locked disk, then copy it to your hard drive before opening it. If the project is already on your hard disk, then you may not have permission to modify that folder. Correct the folder permissions and try again."
    Here's how to replace the current project folder with a new one in iMovie 4:
    1. In Finder, create a new folder anywhere OTHER THAN inside the old project folder. Name the new folder "Replacement" or something.
    2. Create a new folder inside the Replacement folder. Name it "Media".
    3. Open the Media folder of the iMovie project, then choose Edit>Select All.
    4. Drag all the selected files to the new Media folder.
    5. Drag the files inside the iMovie project folder to the Replacement folder.
    6. Repeat #2 through #4 for any other folders in the project folder.
    You now have a new project folder named Replacement that contains all the files from the original project. Double-click the project file inside Replacement. If the project opens successfully, quit iMovie, rename Replacement to give it the name of your project, and you're done.
    If it doesn't open successfully, move the project.mov file that's inside Replacement to some other folder and try again.

  • Cant open iDVD project or even a new project! So mad about to go to Windows

    Hello,
    I can't open iDVD as a saved project and I can't even go to the window pane that allows me to start a new project because if I open it from the Apps folder, it just opens my last saved project - which doesn't open. Basically it gets stuck and doesn't load the content and beachballs forever.
    I just got past an issue with a bad audio file and couldn't burn it to DVD - I deleted all the audio and reloaded the full songs, then burned a disc image to make sure it worked fine (needless to say, when I double-clicked the disc image, it didn't start up in DVD Player like the "great" instructions say). But now, I can't even open iDVD to do anything about it...this is extremely frustrating and Apple support on the phone does nothing, except ask for $199 for a tech to work with you (are you kidding me?!?!!? I paid $2000 for this freaking machine...I'm close to saying a Windows machine is more reliable...but I won't say that)
    Anyway, any suggestions? thank you!
    Chris

    Hi, I got through most of the burning process - however, it "encountered errors" and didn't finish my burn!!! See below for what the info was:
    "Errors were found during the burning process:
    The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)
    There was a problem during multiplexing/burning."
    What does that mean and why can't I burn this project!?!!
    Thanks

  • Cant open project using "Open Existing File"

    Using GB 11, if I try to open an existing .band project with the Open Existing File button, or from the File/Open menu option from within GB, the "Open" button is grayed out, as are all of the other buttons on the screen. On the other hand, if I select the project from GBs recent projects section, or if from Finder, I select Open with GarageBand from the File menu, I can open the project. I've checked that I have permissions on the Garageband folder and the files within. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

  • Opening previously good CS3 project hangs at 79%

    Hi, we have a fairly straightforward project that has been fine up until now.
    When attempting to open, Encore CS3 (in CS3... no upgrade) goes through the process of finding the various assets, apparently successfully.
    Then it just hangs at 79%.
    Is there a repair/troubleshooting process I can go through? I tried opening the project file in a text editor but it's clearly not XML like a Premiere Project!

    Darn.  Not being able to type at login sounds like an issue mine has every so often, although if you don't log in RIGHT AWAY on mine, you have to force it down and restart because when you type, it pinwheels and never stops.  Mine also hasn't been able to restart or shutdown so I haven't been able to apply updates.

  • Cant open FCP.

    I've done a bad, bad thing.  My start up disk was getting full so I installed an additional hard drive then moved all my video projects over to the new HD.  Then I remembered all the capture scratch, audio and render files and located and moved them over too.  Idiotically confident that I had covered all my bases  I dumped all the old stuff.  Now I cant open FCP!!!  I get the Non-Writable Scratch Disks window that tells me One or more of the scratch disks you have specified does not have read or write access.  Good news All the video files I moved are finished and I have DVD's of them.  the only problem is I cant open FCP so I can start on my new project.  I'ver read through two other posts that are similar to this but they don't address this specific problem.  Any Ideas?

    open FCP and go to system settings - set the scratch disk to the new location. If you are still having issues after that try using Preference Manager (free) here:  http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
