"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!

Problems Burning in Disc in Encore CS4

Hello all,
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Encore CS4 and I'm trying to burn a blu-ray disc but the program is giving me problems.
All of my video assets are .m2v movie clips, which includes the motion menus I am using, compressed to that format in Sorenson Squeeze.
The first time I tried to burn the disc I received an error before it even started to render the menus. The error was Src\VideoFrameManipulators.cpp-563. I did some searching and decided to import the quicktime movies of the menus and use the quicktimes instead of .m2v files. When I tried to build the project again it got through rendering almost all the menus and then I received this error message Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114].
After that I tried transcoding each menu video separaretly and that did work, I got the same PPixHandleUtilities error again. I tried re-importing the files, relinking the files, etc, nothing is working. I'm at a loss.
I have burned a blu-ray disc already so I don't think it is the drive.
I'm running Windows Vista Business 64-bit as the operating system.
Any thoughts?
Kristin

I too am having problems burning data disks to dvd. While it appeared to burn without problems. It took over an hour sometimes 2 or 3 to burn the dvd which upon completion was not recognized in either my Dell or my Mac. I hooked up my external drive where my music is kept to my Mac and it appears to have burnt correctly readable by both machines and took about ten minutes to burn each dvd. So it appears the Windows version is majorly screwed.

No Blue Ray in CS4 Media Encoder or burn to disc in Encore

Hello everyone.
I'm using CS4 on Vista 64 Dual AMD @ 3.0 with 8 gigs memory and 4x WD 750 gig HD's on Raid 1
ATI 4890
I had burned previously several Mpeg2 BluRay discs with menus and now have lost that capability it seems.
I have had some problems in the past and have reloaded Vista 64 as well as this time.
The media enocder just stops nearly imediately after the que with an exclaimation point
on the file attempting either a BluRay 264 or Mpeg2 BluRay conversion from mt2s raw from the camera
file, from the hard drive.
As well, after an edit of mt2s files on the editor and exporting to Encore, setting it all up with a
menu etc. It will rendor a project until its time to write or burn and then I get an error about access
and a code 12 error. I'm using an LG GGW-H20L BlueRay recorder/player. Which has a problem
doing dual layer writing with it's latest firmware installed.
I would like to be able to edit, menu and burn my mt2s files to BluRay however after reading here
and other places recently, it sounds like I need Scenerist or something now to be able to achieve
this goal.
Has something change most recently to take away what I have been doing or what I still can do?
I only make one or two Blue Rays of the same. I'm not into replicating mass quanities of the same.
I would like to have the better picture the AVCHD camera outputs as mt2s files burned onto a Blue Ray
disc. It looks better anyway to me than the Mpeg2 BlueRay files.
Anyone have any ideas?
Gratefully appreicated. Bob.
Regular DVD's look great and work just fine but once in a while, someone wants a BlueRay. Impression is all I can
say about that.

I don't do BluRay... but...
When I want to create a single layer DVD I simply click the Encore icon and work (actually, I go to ISO and use Imgburn to write, for greater control)
When I want to create a dual layer DVD I have found that I MUST right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator
This is in spite of the fact that I am the only user of my computer and only have one, Administrator account
This problem appears to be "something" about Win7's rights management (this problem, from my reading, started with Vista)

Build Button in Encore CS4 Greyed Out

Hi working in a College using CS4 Suite Encore on a LAN. When an administrator logs on the Build button is OK. When student user logs on Build button greyed out and unavailable. What needs adjusting to allow student users to make the Build button active without granting Admin rights ? - Thanks, Michael

Here are just a few things to chew on. Encore does not support burning 24fps Bluray.

Encore CS4: Blu-ray brennen in 1080p

Hallo zusammen,
weiß jemand welchen Encoder ich laden muss, um in Encore CS4 eine Blu-ray in 1080p zu erstellen?
Standardmäßig ist nur eine Blu-ray in 1080i möglich.
Danke für mögliche Antworten.

Hallo Mylenium,
vielen Dank für die Antwort. Die 24p funktionieren aber nur im NTSC und nicht im PAL-Format.
Heute hat Panasonic eine neue Camcordergeneration mit 1080p50 vorgestellt. Ist bekannt, ob Adobe dieses Format unterstützen wird?
Vielen Dank für die Antworten!

"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?

Dual Layer 'Navigaion Failure' on DVD Build in Encore CS4

All,
I've searched the forum and see several post regarding dual layer DVD burning, but none recent.
I'm trying to burn a dual layer DVD ( Memorax DVD+R DL), using Encore CS4. Everything encodes fine, but when Encore starts to actually burn the DVD, I get an error message "navigation build failed' (or something like that, I don't have it in front of me right now). And yes, I did select the correct size DVD setting. :-)
Does anyone had this trouble or have any suggestions?
TIA,
jd

JD,
I would scrap the Memorex blank discs, and use Verbatim instead. Memorex has a very unpopular business model - buy the absolutely cheapest media from whomever and emboss the Memorex label onto it. In spindles of 100, users have reported up to 4 different mfgrs. stuff. One might get 10 discs that work, and then 10 that flat do not. There are several utilities that will tell you who the actual mfgr. is and the lot number. I just use the free burning utility, ImgBurn, as it will read the blank disc and report.
Now, Memorex is an easy target for me, and one of the "usual suspects," so there could be something else going on. Just in case there is, please give the full details of your Project, with Asset types, specs., and how your navigation is setup, and especially the Layer Break.
Good luck,
Hunt

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,

Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

Hello,
I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
Thank you,
Chris...

Hey,
thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
Thanks,
Chris...

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.

For CS4 you must update the Roxio component http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1309029

Encore CS4 - restoring my "Disc" tab?

I somehow accidentally closed the "Disc" tab in Encore CS4 - the tab that has the pie chart showing how much of the disc is used by the project so far, along with choices to check the project and build the DVD.
Can anyone tell me how to get that window back? I looked under the "Windows" menu, which is where I logically expected it to be, but all it has is separate options for "Build" and "Check", but nothing for "Disc".
I really liked the layout of the "Disc" menu, and would really like to get it back. Anywhere else I can look to find it?

That's all under the Build tab now. And CS4 doesn't have a pie chart - it's just a bar graph.

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.

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.
