"Encode Failed" Error HELP ASAP

No matter what I try, how short I make the file name, even taking the title out, I STILL get the error message "Encode failed" when I am trying to Build my project. I have 2 movie files I HAVE to get onto a DVD tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. I will have a menu file I would perfer to use, but if not i'm fine with the 2 videos just playing right after eachother. It is for a permiere and I HAVE to test a DVD (the only format they will accept) at the small theater.

Adobe Media Encoder Fail - need help please

I keep getting a failed error when trying to use Adobe Media Encoder.
I open up my premiere project and select the comp I want. I switch the format to Quicktime, select h.264 from preset. Hit the start button and I get the failed sound/icon.
2 questions:
1. My comp is 1920x1080 but when I go in it automatically has it as 720... why is it not recognizing the comp size?
2. Is there a way to fix this error? It seems to export occassionally to my C drive (which is not raid) but it fails to my F drive (Raid 10). But usually if I export as a wmv or something smaller it exports fine to F.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you I had to go out of town. Error message doesn't say anything to me... maybe to you. I'm not really sure what to set for "Field Type" so I just leave it at Lower. Not sure if I should set it to higher or progressive instead.

Validate failed error - help wih script

Hi,
First off, i don't know much javascript basically none and i am new to formcalc so please bear with me.
So here is what i am trying to do, i have a table on a form where a user can fill in the cells if they want to change a contribution amount for their investment options. The column of the table must equal 100 otherwise they haven't specified the correct values and the contributions are wrong.
So far i have added script on each cell to validate if the number is between 0 - 100
(this.rawValue >= 0 && this.rawValue < 101);
this is working ok, where it is going wrong is here:
the last cell in the column is a total field and what i want it to do is:
a) add up the total, again this is working
SUM(Row1[*].exist + Row2[*].exist)
b) check to see if the total is equal to 100, if it is not change the font color to red, or if it is equal to 100 the font color is black. What i have in the script is:
if (Row3[*].total ne 100) then
total.fontColor = "255,0,0"
elseif (Row3[*].total eq 100) then
total.fontColor = "0,0,0"
endif
this works if the total is not 100 the font is red, but where it is going wrong is if it does equal 100, i am getting an error message saying "total validate failed" but the strange thing is the total is showing 100 and in black.
What am i doing wrong? Is there a better way of doing this in Javascript?
I am not using the finished form, i am just testing that is why the field names are basic as well.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I've placed a sample form on the web that can be founf at
http://www.users.on.net/~cbprescott/ValidateFailedTest.pdf
This form demonstrates the 'Validate failed' error that I am getting using both FormCalc and JavaScript.
The calculations in both are correct but the warning label is not being displayed when it should be.
Anyway have a look at the form and PLEASE let me know where I am going wrong. I've spent hours and hours trying to solve this but have failed miserabley.
Thanks for any help,
Chris

Encoding problem please help ASAP!!!

So i am doing a project for school (been working on it for weeks) and i finally finished it and when i try to export it, its all messed up. I dont get an error of any kind but i get a media offline screen everywhere there is supposed to be video (.mp4) im currently using CC 2014..... I also tried exporting to media encoder and still no luck.

You have to do two things:
1. set the stylesheet encoding to japanease/unicode
2. Save the file with the same encoding using xml editor that support file saving with non-ascii charset. I think xmlspy support this.

C440 Hard drive failed NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!

SO my c440 lenovo all-in-one Desktop Has had a Hard drive failure i get the error "Error 1962: No operating system found. Press any key to repeat boot sequence." I've had the hard drive looked at and it wont power on or anything. I can buy a new HHD same model ect But how can i get my operating System of Windows 8 back on the New HHD( hard drive)??? i only have the Lenovo drivers Disk

Good day and welcome to the community.
If you didn't make recovery media prior to the HDD failure, which sounds catastrophic, you'll need to contact Support (info below) to discuss obtaining the proper media. There may be an associated cost.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Error compiling movie - unknown error - encoding failed

I am running a 2.40 GHz Quad Core with 8GB RAM
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...
Here are the error messages I am getting:

Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
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...

Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
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,

Another "encode failed" problem

I've been sifting through all these posts but I can't seem to find help for this.
I have CS4 Encore, Windows 7, I've done lots of stuff in this software and never had a problem, but now for some reason, it does not want to encode this file no matter how I run it through. I've imported directly from Premeire, I've used media encoder in every type, mpeg2, everything. Nothing works. Perhaps my CS4 is now corrupt? No matter what I run though, it starts up then gives me the "encode failed" error. Let me know what other info you need, thanks for any assistance.

I tried run as administrator but it did nothing. I'm running Win 7, not xp on this computer.
I gave 805 free gb left on my hd, so it's not a drive problem.
Where can I copy the hardware details to show you?
The thing is I haven't changed anything since I last used encore - I'm not sure why I'd be having this issue now.

I hope I can solve this soon.

If I understand your post:
a. More than one project fails with FLV/F4V or h.264 and a variety of presets
b. This project fails with other formats (avi, mov, etc)
c. There are no other error codes or messages
Do any of your projects encode?
If you create new simple 1-clip project from scratch, can you get it to encode?
Is this a new problem?
Are you running the latest PP/AME?
Can you run AME stand-alone, load the avi and try to encode directly from AME's UI (bypassing PP completely)?
If the files are small (<1GB), can you upload them so that folks could try your project?

Encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43

Hi!
I've tried everything but still, after about 20 hours of encoding DVD Studio Pro just stoppes, saying "encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43". The movie is in DV PAL format and made in Final Cut Pro version 5. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 4.0. The movie is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long and I'm trying to put it on a double layer DVD. I've tried to shorten it (it was nearly 2 hours before), but that didn't help. I also tried to shorten it even more and put it on a single layer DVD, but still the same message.
So if somebody has any idea of how I can solve this problem, please let me know as soon as possible!
Thank you!

Error -43 means "File not found." If you are compressing from a reference movie, make sure that all referenced movie clips are present on the disk and that permission settings are not preventing DVD Studio Pro from accessing them.
Error -1309 means "Out of bounds." This means that the source file is pretending to be bigger than it actually is.
So it sounds like there are issues with your source movie.
P.S. Compressor has a much better MPEG-2 encoder and I would recommend using that instead.
