CS5 Encode Failure

I have CS5 installed on my computer.  I am in the process of trying to burn a DVD for a presentation that I must give the first week in August, 2013.  I have rendered and assembled my Adobe Premiere *.prproj and it runs well.  When I "dynamic link" it to Encore CS5 and set up my menus and links, everything works fine.  I then "File>Build> Disc" and haved cleaned up all broken links, etc.  The preview runs well.  When it comes time to burn the disc, the program locks up.
I should mention the message that states that Encore CS5 does not have "Functionality Support" installed.  Also, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium is "Encore CS3" is still on my system.  I am not sure where to go next to get the problem resolved. 
Any help would be appreciated.  The thing is, Encore CS5 ran well from purchase date until January of this year.  Has there been any Windows Updates/plug-ins that may have negatively affected Encore CS5?

Problem Solved.  Many thanks to all for your suggestions.  Thinking my computer was in immenent danger of crashing -and, it still may be - I decided to back up my video and audio files.  In the process of backing up to an external drive, I discovered that my key asset source drive free space was very low.  The free space was down around 15-20% of the drive.  I decided to transfer some of my files not needed for producing the DVD to another drive.  I was very fortunate in that that was the key to allowing me to burn my DVD.  Note that I had been watching the drive space from Start>Computer and it appeared to be OK.  The build process must have put the drive on the ragged edge.  I know that Microsoft has done this to protect me from destroying the drive or losing data; however, I thought I had plenty of free space left.  Apparently, I did not.  Chalk this up to another rookie mistake.   JimCott44

  • Media Encoder CC Encoding Failure

    I have never had any problems with Media Encoder on my system, but since ugrading from CS6 to CC suddenly the Media Encoder fails whenever I use the QUEUE rather than EXPORT on the Export Settings screen in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. 
    When I click the Failure link for more information, it just pulls up the log which tells me that Encoding Failed.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any ideas for how to resolve it?
    It's not a huge problem because I can always encode each video one at a time by clicking export, but being able to batch process a bunch of videos at a time helps the workflow.  THANKS!

    Yes, AME queue is a problem.  I have a 28 minute weekly broadcast for a client that must be encoded in 6 different formats for TV Broadcast, mpeg2 DVD, vimeo, mp3, h.264 for vimeo, etc.  If I attempt to encode all 6 in the queue I will have some success and also failure.   If I queue several videos that all require mpeg2 (though with each requiring several different specs, i.e., upper field vs. lower field, mpeg2 dvd, mpeg2 HD, etc.) it will complete the task.  Yet if I add h.264 to the mix all encodes will fail.  I can encode h.264 by itself with no problems.  So yes, you are not alone.  Not sure what the solution is.  In CS6 one could queue all of these formats and walk away.  Can Adobe acknowledge these issues and then propose a solution?

  • Why is CS5 Encoder twice as slow as CS4

    I have a complicated projcet that include several After Effects compositions.
    In Media Encoder CS4 i took about three hours to render a MPEG2 file. (720x576, 5 min. long)
    I have now upgraded to CS5, but the same project, on the same machine now takes 6 hours to render with the exact same settings!!
    Only difference is that the After Effects files and the premiere file is saved as CS5 projects.
    WHY???
    My Machine: HP Z400, Windows 7 - 64 bit, 12GB RAM, Nvidia Quatro FX1800....
    Aslo: Before the XMP files where just very small files (7KB) , now they are over a 3MB!?!

    I don't think it si just MPEG 2. It takes muck longer to export to F4V as well.
    On the large several large (5120x720) compositios in renderd by AfterEffects before it is encoded to MPEG2.
    But with the 64 bit, that should now be faster...
    The Premiere sequence in 1280x720 (one fourth of the overall compositions.) 25fps.
    Can there be something in AfterEffects that sets how to temporary render compositions before MPEGing?
    But then again - the FV4 project don't not contain any After Effects compositions, but only MPEG2 files.
    The Premiere and  After Effects project files is on a network drive, but the source material (PSDs, MXF video) is on a local drive (RAID1)

  • Photoshop CS5 Install failure, but on just one instance of SL (the one I

    HI, I know this is a strange place to post this, but Adobe Support suggests talking to Apple, as I have an install failure of Photoshop CS5, the install app won't even initialize, and it's just on one instance of SL. I can install fine on other machines, and other bootable drives, but not on the one inside an imac (late 2008 vintage). Baffling, as the problem must be tied to this one instance...my production one. I tried other users on the machine, but no luck...same problem. I checked permissions, ran Disk Warrior, all of that, still no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions besides using Gimp:) thx,
    coocoo

    I can see what's going on with the installer... first it's supposed to create a temp application dir in the user account, Adobe/OOBE/blabla... then kick off the activation and then the installer. Before it get's to the activation part, it blows and deletes the dir it started. As I successfully can install on another boot drive, I tried to cobble together the installation that way, by just copying files over, and got there - pretty much. I just can't activate with my serial number as I am supposed to be able to do...probably intentionally made so - but PS is running in trial mode on my production machine, and full mode on a test machine - ha! If I could just reverse the situation I would be golden. Anyway, I have another call in to Adobe...

  • Encore cs5 encode fails

  • How do I make sure that Media Encoder CS5 encodes into stereo

    I have created an extra channel in Soundbooth to create 'stereo'. The updated file in Premiere Pro shows the new file name, and the audio wave now shows in stereo.
    Because this the video is to be used for an Adobe Captivate CS5 project, the video has since been broken into subclips, some to be retained as video; others to be used as audio narration behind PPT slides.
    My problem is this:
    Media Encoder encodes the Audio subclips (MP3) correctly as stereo.
    Media Encoder encodes the Video subckps as Mono, even although the Stereo radio button has been selected.
    The variation between one channel for video, and stereo behind the PPT slides is distracting.
    In addition, there is a lot of noise on the both Audio, and Video files. It was not there in Soundbooth.
    I would really appreciate help, as this problem is preventing me from completing the Captivate project. Because this is for Distance education (Higher) which involves a lot of listening, quality of sound is very important.

    Sounds like Media Encoder is actually recording the audio as a stereo file but the audio is panned to one side.
    Check that you haven't accidentally panned the audio in the mixer to one side.

  • Please help with this Premiere Pro CS5 encoding error

    VBR 2 pass encoding getting stuck at 50% in Premire Pro CS5. I assume this is the starting point of pass #2. The Error message states that one of the temporary files created during first pass cannot be read. I confirmed that said file exists, it is in the correct location and has the correct file name. Interestingly, at times, the 2 pass encoding proceeds through completion without issues, but I haven't been able to identify the reason for this. PLEASE HELP!! Thank you.

    Thank you so much for replying. I tried running as administrator and it did not correct the issue. Luckily I did figure out the problem after trying various ways. It so happens that Windows seven sets "read Only" attributes to files within folders that you create by right clicking on the drive name and using "New Folder". So, when the encoder tries to over-write on one of the temporary files it created during the first pass it can't do it and it issues the error "Cannot open file for writing...etc.". I fixed it by right clicking inside the folder contents and changing the attribute. Now it works. This is the error that I was getting:

    Hi there.
    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on my laptop and every time, after installing the product and entering the serial number, the process fails and tells me 'We are unable to start your subscription for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Subscription Edition.'
    It then asks me to relaunch the product and do the installation process again. I have tried this numerous times and it keeps saying the same thing.

  • Video Encode Failure

    I have a dual layer dvd project, with 7 video tracks. When I encode the video, the video ends up showing just a green screen, and I just hear the audio. I desperately need help getting this project going.
    The encoder setting was 1 pass VBR between 3.3 and 6.0, I had to set it kind of low to fit all the video.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Ben Windsor

    I did export the files from FCP as a QT, once the files encode they play as green, both in the DVD and in QT.
    I'm not sure but I think I found a fix, I changed the encoder to CBR and I also built the dvd to hd first then burned the DVD. I at least got it to work. It's not ideal, but it was a time sensitive project. Thanks for the ideas, I may have to use compressor for my next project.

  • InDesign CS5 PDF - Failure to Export Vector Elements

    Recently, we have had two separate incidents where the creation of an InDesign CS5 PDF failed to export certain vector art elements. The elements are not shared between jobs and the files were physically created in different locations (entirely different servers) within our organization. The elements are pdf and eps and appropriately linked. On the PDF, we're not even getting a low-res version of the artwork. When looking at the PDF in NEO, the containing box of the graphic is not present. One the most frustrating aspects of this is we haven't been able to repeat error in order to fix the error. The next time (or 50 times) the document is exported, the vector art is fine.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    @rickphot
    I've had this same problem just today. I have a 64 page INDD that when exported to PDF (print) from CS5 (with no elements on my page set to "non printing elements"), only some of my vector shapes get exported. They are all merely 0.25pt Black Lines used to direct a reader from a comment to a matching illustration, and some pages exported them just fine, and some other pages will not work. I've tried moving them to a new layer, cutting and pasting in place, copying and pasting in place, changing the transparency modes, etc...nothing works...EXCEPT to just redraw the lines.
    @Bob Levine
    Do you work for Adobe? Can you offer any advice to this problem yet?
    Thanks all. Glad I'm not the ONLY one going crazy with a bizzare problem like this one.

  • CS5 update failure

    The "Adobe Application Updates" program has been attempting to update Illustrator. Each time, it fails. I've tried restarting, turning off anti-virus and the like, with no luck. Other updates had gone through a few weeks ago, so I'm baffled. This is the first one that I recall for Illustator, so maybe this has to do with it.
    Any suggestions?

    Interestingly, some other updates just came through and installed properly. Photoshop and I think Bridge. Illustrator is still not updated.

  • Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

    First, all the system info:
    Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
    I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001  (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
    Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
    Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
    I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
    I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
    I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
    I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
    Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
    The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
    I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
    But now, two things happen:
    1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
    2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
    Huh?
    Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
    Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
    BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
    Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
    Multiplexer Tab:
    choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
    Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
    Video Tab:
    Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
    Quality: increase it to the max of 5
    TV Standard: NTSC
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Field Order: None (Progressive)
    Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
    Render at Maximum Depth box checked
    Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
    Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
    Audio Tab:
    Audio Format: Dolby Digital
    Codec: Dolby Digital
    Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
    I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
    I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
    And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
    So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

    Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
    It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
    Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
    I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
    So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
    Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
    I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
    I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
    I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
    Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
    Thus the primal scream.
    The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
    I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
    Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it.  :-)
    P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep.  In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
    Help. Please.  :-)
