Whenever I start Encore CS3 it will freeze right here. I don't know what to do to fix it, and I have looked it up all over. If anyone else has fixed this problem, could you tell me how to? Thanks in advance.

I run windows XP SP2, fully updated. I am using the Master Collection and Encore, Premiere Pro, and After Effects all don't work. While the other apps work perfectly.

Encore CS3 crashes when building to Flash (Windows)

I've built a project that has no problem burning a DVD or rendering an ISO image. However, when I try to author a Flash version of the project, it spends hours transcoding, then Encore CS3 crashes. (Generic Windows "Encore CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close" error.) The only issue that shows up when checking the project is an orphan timeline, but it is linked into the project through playlists.
Any suggestions on how to create a flash version successfully?
Specs:
AMD Dual Core 4800+ (2.51Ghz)
2 Gigs memory
Windows XP SP3

I'm also having issues with Encore crashing all of the time. Whenever I try to build a flash file it crashes near the end. I have a few large videos in there and can build a flash file without the videos in, but why does it keep crashing when the videos are in.... I thought this is what this software is designed for!
Has anyone had any luck getting around their crashes?
To reduce the size of the videos what setting do you suggest changing?
Thanks and good luck to everyone else using Encore!
Matt.

Encore cs3 crashes

Hi.
I am having issues with adobe encore cs3 crashing. I have created a dvd with no issues. I had recently started another project that had 3 videos and a bunch of slideshows. It seems that anytime i do anything, the program crashes. I do have a lot of photos in this project. While I was working on the project, any importing as an asset, or previewing gave me no issues at all. I have un-installed and re-installed the software, including various susgestions in forums, such as; disabling services.
I am desperate for any help anyone can give me.
thank you for any help!

As I often have mega SlideShows, with maybe 3000+ Still Images, I Scale my Images to exactly what I need. With a great quantity of Stills, an extra handful of pixels can be compounded and can tax resources.
When I need more pixels in my Still, than the Frame Size of the Project, say for a long Pan, I will Scale to what I need, maybe 3000 pixels, but will then Crop the vertical to exactly the Frame Size, say 480. I do not want extra pixels, having to be processed.
On a normal SlideShow Project, I will usually Scale the majority of Stills to exactly what the Project's Frame Size is. If I do need more pixels, in either direction (horizontal for a Pan, or vertical for a Tilt), then I calculate exactly what I need, and Scale (often Cropping the other dimension) to that. I usually end up with one folder with the majority of Still Images Scaled to exactly what I need, maybe two others, where I needed more pixels, but the amount is different. Never had a Project that required more than three Scaled dimensions, though it certainly could happen.
With the advent of PrPro CS5 (now CS 5.5), some things have changed a bit, if one has the proper hardware, in that the Scaling algorithms have been improved (expect to see those trickle down to PS by CS 6), but there is still the resource issue.
I'm about to embark on another mega SlideShow, probably topping out at about 2500 Images. As soon as I get the specs. for the display, I will then begin my Scaling. Right now, I feel that the majority will be exactly to the Frame Size, with but a few needing more pixels, but in one dimension only. I have my PS Actions Saved, but might need to tweak one, or two, depending on what the AV department tells me.
John T's analogy is a good one, and when he's not looking, I might "steal" if from him.
Good luck, and please let us know how it goes,

Encore CS3 crash when i click Build (SWF, BluRay, DVD Burn/Image/Folder) or Check project

So I'm finally done with my DVD. Now i want this burned to a dvd or make an image file. Each time i hit BUILD or START (Check proj) the program quits and I'm left with the normal OS X message: The application Adobe Encore quit unexpectedly >> Ignore - Report... - Relaunch
My DVD is not that fancy but i got a menu with 3 buttons made in PS with a pointer highlight and a animating background made in After Effects (using dynamic link) with some music. All of the buttons link to After effects comps with dynamic link. All of the after effects compositions are transcoded and works within the DVD preview (except the DVD menu background wont play, and i got a feeling it will play when i export an image or DVD). And all the After Effects comps links back 2 the menu when done. So there should be no error in the project flowchart.
My flowchart: http://www3.sqr.no/index.php/get/64a267e640fddd15128d082abb72e3d92a3aedf680aabe20995beb7e e10ae32f
(small jpg file)
So i hit build and Encore quits, shut down, finada (Every time!). No matter what out put settings i use. I've exported DVD's from encore before on this computer without problems.

Don't know if this any help but hope anybody got some ideas. I've been trying to look for a solution on the forums, but without any luck.
By the way, I'm using a Mac Pro v3,1 (early 2008) with 2 x 2,8ghz quads, 10GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512mb) and plenty of disk space.

Hey, i think if there could be any of the possibilities you talk about, it might have been a naming error. All files i created had the same name in the new project as in the old one. But i used 1 asset arrow that i copy pasted from a library button "Red facets button" and shift pasted on my own buttons as highlight (paste sub picture). In the first project i did not do this as a straight forward thing, a lot of deleting and adding because i had never done it before and there might have happened something with the naming of the arrow i pasted. I used the same arrow in the second project but without messing with delete, paste all the time. But some how there is no problems now, just something wrong with the last project file =S
Not so important:
I also noticed while building the new project i once got an "General error", not sure why but happened after a random crash. And 2 get rid of it i had to delete the menu and make it again (i could not edit anything in the menu without getting the error). I rebuild the menu and had another crash when exiting the program, because i thought my computer needs to boot after 2 days online. When i reopened the project i got "General error" in the menu again, but after some clicking it didn't show up (random). Finally i got my project setup and everything works, i did the copy past as sub picture as a straight forward thing.

Encore CS3 crashes when changing disk drives

Burning a compilation from Premiere CS3 to Encore CS3 using Export to Encore. When Premiere finishes encoding and launches Encore to create DVD image, Encore keeps defaulting to my CD-R drive and not my DVD-R drive.
Each time I have to cancel the operation, and then manually change the dropdown recorder selector from the CD to the DVD drive. And EVERY TIME I do this Encore crashes.
Since there doesn't seem to be a way to force Encore to remember which drive I want to use for recording as a default, this software is totally useless to me.
Does anyone know of a way to make Encore remember a specific disc drive to use for recording?

You could try setting the DVD-R drive as Master, not the CD-R.
The bad news is that this means opening up the computer & either resetting the drive jumpers from CS (Cable Select) to Master & Slave, or if they are already set to Master & Slave, then they need reversing.
This cannot be done in software as it is a matter of their physical position on the cable.
To ensure correct pickup, it would be a good idea to go into Control Panel/System/device manager (
i before
opening the system - and uninstall both optical drives (right-click on the drive & select "uninstall".
The next time you boot, thedrives should be detected in their new configuration.

Please help -- Encore CS3 crashes often on a new PC

Read below the typical problem report from Vista problem history -- it's French to me. The whole report would not fit here. Have had numerous crashes in Encore, and few times in Bridge, Premiere and After Effects. The programs just "stopped working" at a specific point without an explanation. Eventually I would work around it by clearing from the project the media file I was working on and re-importing it. Yesterday, I uninstalled and re-installed Encore to no benefit.
I am on a new PC less than 2 months old, so I can't tell if it's the problem. Most of my problems involve CS3 applications, but this computer has been pretty shaky since I got it. Performance seems slow for such a stacked computer, HP Pavilion d5000t Intel core 2 quad 2.66 with 8 GB RAM Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 1 TB SATA RAID O. Not quite a workstation, but I shouldn't be having slow performance working with MiniDV not HD video.
Please direct me to some kind of troubleshooting plan. I was having problems with an external SATA Buffalo drive with USB 2 and Firewire 800. Now I'm doing everything and storing everything on the 1 TB main system drive.

Encore CS3 crashes after splash screen

I have purchased a new computer and have installed Adobe Master Collection CS3 and am using the Windows 7 system. I created a movie project in Premier Pro CS3 and rendered the movie and received the message at the end of rendering that said "Application failed to retun a video frame". I assumed the program couldn't open the Encore program and so I tried to open it separately. It would start up then crashes when it gets to the loading of the blue ray part of the program. I don't know if I am looking at two separate issues or just one. Please help!

If Jeff's Roxio Fix does not solve the issue, then consider this: failure to return video frame is often a sign that there is a gap in the video.
Do you have ganged Assets on one Timeline?
Have you checked 100% that your Audio is EXACTLY (and I mean 100%) the same Duration, down to the Audio Unit, with the Duration of the Video, or shorter? One extra Audio Unit can get you a gap in a ganged Timeline.
Good luck,
Hunt

Encore CS3 crash while building slideshow

Wanted to post the solution to an Encore crash regarding the slideshow build step.
Scaling down the resolution of 66 tiff images that had made up a slideshow
worked around a problem in Encore. The final step of creating an iso
image had been failing after many minutes of processing the slideshow.
Using images scaled down to 720x480, the native resolution of an SD DVD, resolved the problem.
From CS3 Bridge, selected all the images,
then from the Bridge menu Tools -> Photoshop -> Image Processor ...
selected the 'resize to fit' option
and specified 720 for width and 480 for height and saved the images
to a new directory.
Had to delete the old slideshow timeline and build the new one but
Encore makes that simple enough. Import the images as a timeline,
set the transition, add the music track, set the random pan and zoom,
and linked the new asset to the menu again.
I don't know if another resolution would have been better given the
slight zooming resulting from the random pan and zoom feature but the
results look fine regardless.

Andrew,
Though it sounds too late to help with Encore, there are a couple of things to think about. That 80% Transcoding issue throws up a few possibilities to me:
1.) heat buildup in the CPU - Transcoding is very CPU intensive
2.) power supply not up to the task, or going bad
3.) HDD filling up to a critical point - that slowdown and then hang could be a sign of this, as HDD's loose a good deal of their efficiency near the 75% full point, and will shut down, as 100% is approached.
4.) something in the Project at about that point?
5.) something else entirely
Good luck, and happy authoring, regardless of which program you use.

Encore CS3 crashes when importing Blu-Ray timeline

In Premiere Pro CS3 I ad the chapter markers and then export to Encore. In an hour and a half Encore opens
says it is importing M2V file and crashes.
I tried to import into a new project and it failed also.
Sadly it worked perfectly once.
Any workaround solution to another Adobe bug?

Try going to Support > Updates then select the drop-down for Premiere Pro. There should be a few update patches to download. After that, do the same for Encore. I remember seeing somewhere in the updates that it resolves that problem.

Encore CS3 crashes on Mac

I have a standard Intel Power Mac running Leopard, with latest upgrade for both Encore and leopard, also 3 gigs of memory and 3 7200 rpm hard drives for a total of 1.5T. I have been experiencing crashes at various times when using Encore. It frequently crashes while trying to build a DVD. Also when trying to import a video into a timeline from Premiere Pro. Any suggestions?

Now the program crashes even when pasting small amounts of
text not related to word.
Very disappointing.

Encore CS3 Crashes when i try to build a iso out of my dvd

Does it take too much resources from my machine? I don't get any error reports from encore. Just windows explorer report that something went wrong. What can I do?

Provide details.
Look here and specifically look at how to pose a question and the details required.

Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
My System:
WinXP Pro SP2
2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
Intel PERL mobo
3GB 400MHz RAM
NVidia 7800GS video
I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
etc) when using any CS3 app.
The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono
channels LAME3.96r, 717436 KB.
footage5.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage6.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage7.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 717502 KB
footage8.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 717180 KB
footage9.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.2 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 2291904 KB
Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
"planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

Setting motion menu loop point to 1 second or under causes Encore CS3 to crash

Has anyone else had this problem? I created a motion menu that I want to loop to a point just 24 frames after the beginning (the motion background fades in over 24 frames), but every time I try it causes Encore to crash when I go to preview the DVD and get to the loop point.

No.
VOB files (or Video OBjects) are the multiplexes for the timelines, and also (in the VTS_xx_0.VOB) the menu files themselves.
IFO (or InFOrmation files) tell the player what should be there.
Cells are the smallest part a menu or a timeline can be broken down into, and they need to be at least 1 second long.
(If you could see "under the hood" and have multiple cells in a motion menu, and a return call is made (after the movie has played) to cell 2 ignoring cell 1 (which could be, EG, a copyright warning or whatever) you might see:
CallSS VMGM (menu ROOT, rsm_cell 2)
which would tell the player to return to the Root menu at the second cell, bypassing the first cell completely.

Premiere Pro CS3 Crashed, and now will no longer start back up again..

I was working on a project today using Cs3, I've had it since spring and it always worked fine until tonight when i was editing a project.. In the middle of my editing the program unexpectedly froze than crashed...
I then tried to restart it and i got this message which popped up in 4 windows..
" Sorry a serious error has occurred that required adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project" i then hit ok and it exited completely, i tried to open it again, same thing..
so then i restarted my computer and i got a different message that said something like i wasn't aloud to use the program anymore and had to reinstall it or cal adobe tech support... so i put the CD in and re-installed it and got the same message when opening the program up again "serious error messages" I then went to the CS3 updates to update it back to version 3.2.0. But still continue to get the error message.
so something must have happened during my edit that caused it to stop working, but i have no idea what it could be. I even tried to do a System restore..which also got a error message....thanks vista...
anyways..i can use some help, thanks
:edit:
i tried to reinstall Premiere Pro 1.5 since Cs3 was an upgrade.. I reinstalled it then reinstalled Cs3 again, and i still get the "serious error Message" so that didn't work...

Ok i looked at the Troubleshooting site Eddie gave me, and tried to answer the questions as best i could.
Never used any Adobe Beta software.
I freed up a lot of space off of my hard drive, i only had like 5GB-10GB left, but it still worked when having such low space
I did a disk clean up as well as disk defragment, and moved a lot of high GB files over to my second hard drive. i have over 27GB of free storage left now, its a 150GB hard driver. should i have more?
I Tried holding down the Shift button, but didn't help
I tried to open up Encore Cs3 which came with Premiere, i barely ever used this one, but its funny how this wont work either. I think i used it once before and it worked. But it old how none of my Cs3 Programs. never installed On location.
also this isn't a pirated copy or anything, i bought it as an Upgrade from Amazon back in the spring. Upgrading from Premiere Pro 1.5 which also wasn't pirated, i got that as a gift.
My older version of Premier, 1.5 still works, and my older versions of Photo shop (CS?) and After effects (6.5) still work. So that's good. Just having a problem with Cs3 :(

Premiere and Encore CS4 crashes and issues on Toshiba Laptop

I have a Toshiba Qosmino Laptop, 4 GB ram, Windows XP Sev pac 3, Nvida Gforce 7300 video. new 7500 RPM Hard drive
The two programs that crash all the time are Premiere and Encore CS4
Premiere will start some times and sometimes not. I've tried a new projects, importing a CS3 project seems to make no difference. Takes approx 2-3 minuites to load. Click on a imported video clip or timeline and crash.
Encore crashes "EVERYTIME"... tried to import from Premiere into Encore.. when the timeline is clicked in Encore it crashes everytime. Tried a new project in Encore same problem. Started Encore alone and same problem... first click and crash.
I'm not getting a blue screen just the Adobe crash report screen asking me to send a report... have done that many times.
Things that I have tried:
Had CS3 (BTY it ran fine)
Uninstalled CS3 and uninstalled CS4. Reinstalled CS4 same problems.
Defrag hard drive....
Reinstall CS4
Updated video drivers to latest version
Reloaded older video drivers
Did MSCONFIG and stropped all unneeded processes
All the rest of the CS4 programs open and run fine.
Any help is appreciated!!

Sounds like a problematic video driver or codec issue. You need to update all your drivers and try again. Also get rid of any unnecessary codecs. Try opening files in various formats and see if the same happens. Also you should search the KnowledgeBase, it contains a lot of information about this kind of problem.
If all fails, call Adobe Tech Support...
