"encode failed" encore cs4

I read some of the other problems with this but I have an extra little tid-bit.  If I just import the .avi and burn it with no menu it works fine.  It is when I incorporate a menu and burn that I get "encode failed".  I am not real technical so if some one has a dumbed down answer for me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

The process is simple I did it actually 2 different ways and got the same result.  1st the project was made in Premiere Pro 2.0.  2nd just went to file-->Export-->Movie & that is the file that I imported as an asset into Encore CS4, dropped the .avi into a new timeline and burned a dvd no problem (without a menu).  Then when I got the video approved I went back in, chose new blank menu, put 11 chapters in the time line, then dropped those chapter markers into video buttons on the menu, checked my links, didn't have any errors, went into build dvd, got about 3 sec. in and boom!! "encode failed", what does an aneurism feel like? Does any of this give a better picture?

  • Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

    There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
    If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
    If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
    If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
    You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
    The error message is:
    Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

    >Does anyone understand this?
    Simple:
    1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
    2. Open a
    second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
    3. Arrange the windows side by side.
    4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
    5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
    6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.

  • "Encode Failed" whilst building disc in Encore CS4

    Hi folks,
    I've built a Premiere Pro CS4 project which, after adding a menu in Encore CS4, I'm trying to output/"Build" a disc from Encore.  The project's assets comprise original AVCHD video from my Sony Handycam and, from these, some After Effects CS4 generated segments (which I first converted from AVCHD to MPEG2 HD using Free HD Converter V1.7).
    Although I've previously produced SD DVDs from PPro2, I'm new to CS4, and working with HD video.
    Q1 - having built a project from AVCHD video, is it possible in theory to export from Encore to MPEG2-DVD (PAL 16:9)
    Q2 - if the answer to Q1 is "yes", do you have any idea why during the build disc process I receive an "Encode Failed" message within a matter of seconds (whilst using export setting MPEG2-DVD PAL High Quality 4Mb VBR 2 Pass in Widescreen 16:9)?
    I'm using Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on a laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P9600 @ 2.66GHz, with 4.00 GB RAM.
    Thanks in anticipation!

  • Adobe Encore CS4 - Encore Failed

    I recently had a problem with Adobe Encore CS4 with finalising a project to DVD, and to make a long story short I had my computer totally wiped and reinstalled all programs.The problem I now have is, I export a HDV file from Avid Media Cmposer and import it to Encore but when I try to Transcode it, I get a "Encode Failed" message.
    I have tried other formats "Quick Time Movie" and "Quick Time Reference" which works fine, but I get a colour burst in the video which is not in the original footage and it only appears in Encore.
    I appreciate any help to solve this problem.

  • Why Encode Failed in APPro CS4

    Why Encode Failed in APPro CS4. Used Win XP with SP3. I have made several DVDs without any critical problem before using CS4 PPro & Encore. Now it has given-up on me. Following things been done at present. CS4 is installed in C;\ and Project files saved in D:\(separate drive) 1. Removed all unwanted programs including Virus program, etc., This machine only has APPro CS4. All firewalls been disabled. The audio and video plays ok on time line of APProCS4 with little bit jerky (of course I was expecting this on a Pentium4). C;\drive been formatted recently due to these problems and also defragmnted all drives. Made No screen savers working, no wall paper, Swap file >>virtual mem adjusted for D:\ , optimised the desktop by selecting,"adjust for best performance" 2. APProCS4 project saved ok. It's a 40minute program recorded on XDCAM EX1. Used File>>Adobe Dynamic Link >>Send to Encore ok.. 3.Used very short filenames and sub directories to save on Encore. Eg. file name used "HanOne" 4.On Encore, Selecting End Action and TitleButton selections were done ok. 5. When saved on Encore, file size was 2.48GB and 2.22GB were free. Audio:PCM,standard: PAL 6. When on Encore, Choose File >> Build >> Disc (to make the DVD), after few seconds time it shows " Encode Failed " while start to Transcode .prproj(video) file in Build Progress Window. I would appreciate if you could suggest anymore things I have to try other than above. Thanks

    Unless I missed something, it sounds like the failure is in Encore. If so, posting to the Encore Forum would be the ideal. There, give full details of your Encore Project, such as number of Timelines, and how you have placed your Assets onto those Timelines. Give details on those Assets, and how you have Imported/Linked those to Encore would be appreciated.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Export fails with Media Encoder CS4 "Encoding Failed"," Could Not Read From Source.

    There has never been a history of Adobe CS3 installation on the brand new MAC Pro I am using prior to installing Master Collection CS4, despite other posts claiming that chief cause of this issue is a previous CS3, Beta or trial installations of previous versions. I simply had a straightforward installation of CS4 and have had trouble since day 1.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Master CS4 three times, two times with the action script cleaner for CS4. I tried changing Adobe Cache folder locations to alternative drives. I ran shift start many times to correct any inconsistencies and corrected for permissions using disk utilities repeatedly. All updates have been installed and I am still getting the same error when exporting my timeline to Media Encoder CS4, be it a large High Definition project or a small one consisting of few stills.
    No matter what presets I chose, the job appears as one of the items in the render qeuee of Media Encoder CS4 and sits there with the status WAITING until i hit Start Queue. When I do, it still says WAITING under Status and at the bottom corner of the window it reads : Loading "project name.prproj" and after an average of about 6 minutes, a yellow caution sign appears. No render whatsoever takes place. When I click on the yellow caution sign, it reads a log of all errors in connection with each job, including the ones that have gone before it. Here is one:

    Please any gurus out there know how to troubleshoot this damn thing on Mac, I really appreciate it. I have not yet encountered any posts of Mac owners with no previous CS3 installation having this issue. I am in the middle of 3 projects with tight deadlines and need your urgent help. THANK YOU!

    Hello There,
    I resolved the issue through a simple process of elimination. So simple in fact I wonder how I missed it. Since there has been no history of prior CS3 installation on this machine and every conceivable trick was applied to resolve the problem (refer to my original post earlier in the thread) ending in frustration, the problem had to reside in a factor or series of factors that were only present in this machine. Of the two remaining causes different in compare to other machines, I had to look into the possibility of any hardware and/or software conflicts. After all, this very same installation works perfectly fine on my colleague's Apple Macbook Pro and several Windows machines.
    It turns out that I had installed Pro Tools on this machine that comes with all kinds of optional plug-ins in the so called ignition pack. One of these optional plug-ins is called IZOTOPE (three varieties include Spectron, Trash and another one that escapes my mind). They were all lite version licenses that would automatically pop up on their own when you would start a program where they had been residing. One such program where an association existed was indeed the Premiere. An annoying dialogue box directing you to buy the full version when you would start the premiere would refuse to go away. Sometimes it would even start on its own culminating in a a permanent dialogue box.
    The cause of the problem was right before my eyes and I had overlooked it. Once uninstalled using IZOTOPE clean uninstaller on step 4, the problem was resolved. Projects are now loading very fast into the AME and encoding begins in earnest. I have never had any issues ever since.
    Long story short, if you have any plug-ins specially the ones that are loading upon the start of any program or the ones that reside inside the premiere or the ones that start on their own independently, they could be one of the highly probable causes of this error. I have seen other similar posts complaining of plug in folders inside premiere that needed to be moved to resolve the issue for instance the ones that needed to be moved to AE folders. If you are a plug-in admirer, I would suggest to look into them seriously.
    On the side note, many combination and causes may lead to the same error. I am not claiming that this is the solution for everyone.
    It must also be noted that I applied the trick of creating a shortcut of Premiere (and naming it exactly as such) and dropped it into the Adobe Dynamic LInk folder (even though this was suggested for windows)and have changed the adobe Cache locations to an alternative folder on a separate drive. I haven't been able to establish conclusively if the latter steps are also essential in fixing the error on MAC but I can confirm that since the latter steps were taken before the uninstalling of Izotope plug-ins and i still had issues, probably uninstalling those plug ins or finding a way to move them to a place where they don't interfere (if you absolutely need to keep them) is the one essential step that solved the problem.
    Hope this helps.

    I'm really not sure what the problem is. Everything seems fine in all my other movies but something in this one (and one other one) seem to be causing these failures. Any advice you could give would be really appreciated.

    What are the source files in this (and the other offending) Project? Do they match those Sequence/Project Presets?
    Does the Audio in these source files differ in any way?
    What is different about this/these Project(s), from the others?
    Often, Encoding will fail because of gaps in the Video. However, the error message is usually "Failure to Return Frame."
    Good luck,

  • Encore cs4 - PCM encode problem

    I have a problem with ENCORE CS4 related to PCM encoding. Settings in the project I set up the PCM. I also set up the export settings set to PCM. But when it has finished transcoding and when I look in the "MediaInfo" tells me that the audio in video is AC3 not the PCM. Someone knows how to solve this problem? The video i shoot is 1920x1080 25p, PCM audio,....
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    It was my fault. I made a preset, but i didnt it switched on, but now everything is fine!
    Thx,

  • Premiere Pro CS4 (which includes Encore CS4) Failed to install

    HI everyone,  I am trying to reinstall Premiere Pro (which also includes Encore CS4) since I seem to be having some problems with the Blu-ray authoring in Encore.  I uninstalled Premiere Pro from the Add/Delete Programs in Win XP Pro Control panel.  After uninstalling, I'm trying to reinstall Premiere Pro/Encore programs.  However, I'm getting an "Error Code 2" for Dynamic Link, Encore CS4, Encore CS4 Codecs, and the Encore US Language Pack.  Then the install stops and fails to complete the installation.
    Anyone have any ideas what's happening here?  My system specs are below.  I don't know what's wrong in order to fix it.

    I'd just suggest to run CS4 clean tool one time or (better) twice, after uninstallation.

    In this way you can clean register also.
    Good choice to switch off antiviruses.
    Take also a look to the disks, are they clean?

    While there are a few Adobe employees who read/post here... the vast majority of people here are other users

    I have a deadline on a video project in Premiere Pro CS4 with 4 video timelines and 8 audio timelines with many transitions and key frames with hours on two sequences of work completed and ready to export to an AVI file and burn a DVD.  The 30 minute sequence with only 3 timelines converted to AVI file okay.  The larger sequence with more timelines, keyframes, etc. will not export through Adobe Media Encoder for a Microsoft AVI file or an Uncompressed AVI file - getting the above error message each time.  Getting same errors when exporting a dynamic link to Encore to burn a DVD. 
    The sequence acted funny when I loaded the fourth video timeline so I deleted it and waiting untill the completion of the sequence to add any of that fourth timeline to that sequence and I did not even try to load the fourth timeline that I wanted to add...

    I have been going back & forth with Adobe Support with troubleshooting advice.  I am running a 2.40 GHz Quad Core, 8GB RAM - had to upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit for computer to recognize more than 2GB RAM, had to purchase Premiere Production Premium CS4 because Adobe no longer supported Premiere Pro 2.0 & Adobe does not support Windows XP-64 bit (so Windows Vista was pushed down my throat...)  I have followed the Adobe instructions to Optimize Windows Vista for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I have uninstalled and re-installed the full program more than once.  I have defragmented my computer, I have performed the disk cleanup and deleted all temporary files, etc. to make sure my computer is running optimally.
    I have read the other Adobe threads that talk about CS3 & earlier similar error messages, but have found nothing with this particular message.  I have deleted the fourth timeline off of the video and tried to see if that would make it work, but it did not.
    Does ANYBODY have any suggestions on how I can further trouble shoot to get this project out or know of a way that I can export this project to another program to get an AVI file and a DVD burned with custom menus...

    I am using a 1TB Hard drive with 300 GB free space.  Yes, I always have to delete projects off to make room for new projects.  I have 3 750GB hard drives in my computer in addition to the main C drive that I am using.  Once a project is completed and a client is satisfied, I move the final AVI file off to one of the auxillary drives and delete the entire project from the C drive.  Then I defragment, delete temp files, disk cleanup, you name it to get the drive ready to use for the next project.  I have followed the Adobe protocol for all of this as well as my computer vendor.  I got rid of 95 GB of temp stuff several days ago with the disk cleanup and another 45 GB after deleting another project off my computer...  so looks like I am doing these things..please advise if you know of anything else.
    In the meantime, I am going to try to export to the MPEG2 -DVD export to see if this will work.  I did get an uncompressed file of 31 GB created which errored out at 24:24 minutes into the project and the AVI will not play so it is worthless so I am going to delete it.  I went to the timeline at 24.24 minutes and there is nothing unusual about that portion of the clip. This is the largest and most tedious timelines of the project because it is stacked 3 video timelines high with just a a few pieces of the 4th timeline in the project.  24:24 on the timeline is just another keyframe of moving the keyframes up and down to show which video camera version I want visible in that portion of the video - fading in and out of the project with the key frames...
    I will let you know if I can get an MPEG2 file.  Will this be a good enough quality to put on a DVD.  This is a standard NTSC 4:3 format video...

    i have tried creaeted a NEW Premiere Pro project and still get the same error again ... can someone help me to figure out what is wrong ...

    Hi Neil
    I have been using file names with spaces and it has been working fine. As stated in reply to Jones, uninstall and reinstall of Premiere Pro CS4 has helped to get rid of this error.
    also i did not use Dynamic link, but was trying to create MPEG file using Media Encoder and then import it in Encore.
    your suggestion for H264 seems good and will try it.
    x264 Pro is for CS5 and above versions, so it seems i can not use it and have to manage with Adobe Media Encoder's default. Hope i will not have any major technical issues.
    please suggest me for below:-
    1) i have 4 hours of Full HD footage and made 1080i MPEG2 files of 30mbps to fit in 2 seperate Bluray Disks.
    2) now i plan to put all in one Single Bluray Disk by reducing MPEG2 file average data rate to 15mbps. will that work or is there any limitation of time in Bluray Disk.
    3) Will it be ok to create H264 files at 30mbps [as you mentioned H264 reduces file size to half of MPEG] and still be able to fit 4 hours footage in one BR Disk ?
    4) even though i specify Min 10 Target 25 Max 30 data rate for MPEG files creation, it creats file at data rate of 30 mbps, can you explain why it is happening as i thought my target rate should be 25 mbps and not the maximum rate specified.
    Thanks ...
    PS...
    my source file is .mov 1920 x 1080i 29.97 fps from Canon 6D. first i tried to create progressive file in Encoder but while imported in Encore realised at 29.97 fps, it allows only interlaced file and had to transcode back to interlaced. so i stick to interlaced file.
    Canon 6D also allows me to shoot in 24fps [motion movie] which Encore can handle as progressive file for authoring. What are the pro and cons of shooting in 24fps, if you can suggest.
