Encore CS3 Freezes when Transcoding

I opened an older DVD menu that was made in Encore CS2. I made some changes to it cleaned up orphan timeline and dead links and added audio to menu. When I tried to export it to DVD it freezes when transcoding and locks my work station. I've done this several times on CS2 but this is the first time I have done this in CS3 and I get this problem. I tried transcoding seperately and my PC still freezes. The encore preview menue is great. Does the program only transcode AVI or does it do AVI and MP3. I really dont understand fully what it does when transcoding because either it didn't do this in CS2 or it did but it was flawless so I paid it know attention. Any assistance would be great.

Problem Specification: Encore CS3 Freezes when Transcoding
1) I copy the txt of this guy coz my problem is more or less alike and he uses the proper technical words to explain the problem. But i'm glad you take time to read every mails.
2)I've got a Dual core 3.7GHz, 2G RAM Dual Channel, graphics card Nvidia6600TD 128VRAM & 250G HDD,
3)Problems...
- I edit a sequence duration 2Hr04min in Avid Express Pro HD 5.6.3 and Export it in Quicktime ref. I work wid Encore 2.0
- I use Procoder3 to creat both .m2p & .m2v authoring files. Here i got 2 files of aprox 4.5G each making it around 9G & 8G
- Using the .m2p files After creating the menue etc, i put it to burn but transcoding process freezes at 1/4 of the process. i try transcoding while file still in the project tab but it freezes at 1/4 again.
- Using the .m2v file the problem occur as with the .m2p files...
- I tried directly with the quicktime ref. Here it can't even trancode the Ref file!!! I tried transcoding it while still in the project but this option is DISABLED from the right-click menu.

Encore CS3 Freezes when Transcoding at Import

HP Pavillion
AMD Athelon 64 X2 Dual Core
Windows Vista Home Premium
4GB Ram
The project has 4 menus and about 24 timelines. When open the project eats about 2 GB of RAM.
All video files are DV NTSC 720x480 29.976 fps 4:3 quick time .mov
When transcoding a timeline in Encore CS3 (automatic settings) I constantly experience a "freeze" as Encore attempts to import the video. It transcodes fine, conforms the audio fine and then as it switches to "importing" it freezes. Sometimes I get an "Out of memory" error.
I tried upgrading my video driver to no avail.

Sounds like a system-specific problem, as I've never seen it.
Have you tried exporting MPEG-2 from Premiere, and using that in Encore?

ENCORE CS5 'FREEZES' WHEN TRANSCODING

I have built a project (3.75 minutes) in PremierePpro CS5, consisting of AVCHD, stills, and audio tracks. It plays correctly in that application. I then use 'dynamic link' to send to Encore CS5 - that seems Ok. However, when building (for DVD) the project (and other similar) appear to get about 3/4 way through (according to the progress bar) then 'freeze'. On cancelling, I get the message 'encore not responsing', followed by 'premiere pro not responding'. Ive tried other methods of getting the project into Encore, but the results are the same.
Any ideas?

I'm getting a similar lock up of Encore CS5 when building a DVD.
The source has already been rendered in PP using the AME MPEG DVD settings that follow the source material (24p DV).
It locks up during the same process each time. The DVD spins up to speed as if it is writing but the progress bar stops about 10% and never moves. I can't cancel the process (it asks if I want to cancel but nothing happens). I can't eject the disk. It continues to spin even through a restart (but I can eject at this point). Windows continues to function fine throughout (for other things).
The resulting DVD has only about 10 seconds of the opening menu but then locks up (so nothing past that ever got written). Maybe there's a problem with the menu video or audio? I'm using the NTSC wedding monogram menu with a 16 bit 44.1khz wav file for audio.
Note: Building to an ISO file instead of direct to DVD works fine. I then use imgburn to make the DVD. I'd just prefer it worked without the extra step.

CS3 freezes when started on Mavericks

CS3 freezes when started on newly installed Mavericks (from 10.8). Last files are displayed and Regster window appears and then freezes up. Necessary to Force Quit to get out. I've "successfully" re-installed CS3 several times but the problem continues. What gives?

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.

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 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 Freezing at Splash Screen

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked and answered. I searched the forums, but I did not see this exact problem addressed. Here is my situation:
(1) I have the latest version of Encore CS3 (v3.0.1.008) installed, and it was previously working on my system (Dell/Intel Core Duo, Windows XP).
(2) Now when I try to start Encore CS3, it fails to load, freezing on the splash screen while attempting to load "DXCaptureSource.dll". However the program does not crash - it just remains frozen.
(3) I have Encore installed as a component of the CS3 Master Collection
(4) I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Encore to no avail
(5) I have already tried launching Encore with Version Cue running (both with and without the tray icon being displayed). This has had no effect on the problem.
(6) This seems like it could be a plug-in problem, but I have not added any plug-ins to Encore and do not use 3rd party plug-ins with any Adobe product.
(7) I had Nero Ultra Edition 7 installed on my PC and have since removed it. This may have been removed around the same time that Encore stopped working, but I do not know this for sure.
If anyone has an idea about what might be causing this issue or how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate the help. I am hoping to have this issue resolved quickly, as I have to work on authoring a DVD this weekend. Thanks in advance.

It's amazing, how often one small change or program install "here" makes something stop working over "there"
Now that everything is working again, you might want to think about making a full backup of your drive to an external USB drive
The program I use is mentioned at http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM#SmartOwn
This is not a Windoze restore point... this is a full drive image

Encore CS3 - Hangs While Transcoding.

Hello all,
Thanks for your time reading over this issue I am experiencing with Adobe Encore CS3 (ver 3.01.008).
I have had an intermittent problem with Encore for a long time, involving the transcoding process. The only way I have been able to get over this hurdle is to use a friend's machine for the 'building process' in Encore CS4. But, I have faith that Encore CS3 isn't a waste of a product, and would love to have this issue fixed.
I am currently producing a dual-layer DVD, that will host up to 42 timelines. I can successfully plan the entire project, linking menus to links, links to timelines etc. The only issue I encounter is when I transcode all of my assets before building the DVD disc. I am able to transcode about 80% of my assets successfully - after that - Encore will cease to carry out the transcoding process as it should.
For example, after transcoding about 80% of all the assets, Encore will start transcoding one more asset, transcoding it's video and audio streams, but then ceases to 'import' it back into the project as a transcoded asset. It will simply 'hang' on the 'importing' process. I have tried encoding single untranscoded assets since this issue arose, but each individual, remaining, untranscoded asset will hang (ie, does not show any activity in Task Manager in either CPU usage, or Memory usage) while 'importing' in the transcoding process.
Any help would be hugely appreciated, and I will try to provide you with as much information as possible to assist me.
I am currently running on:
Win7 x64 RC1 (This issue has also happened to me in Vista x64)
Athlon X2 64 3800+ 2.0Ghz
2GB DDR400 << (I understand this is a very little amount of memory in comparison to what most users will have, but I have been able to create other large Encore CS3 projects in the past just fine. I believe that my issue as stated above is not caused by my hardware configuration)
Four HDDs, each with at least 200GB free on each
No, I do not have Nero on my machine, and any previous installations have been clean-sweeped off the machine using Nero's CleanSweep tool.
I am also running Encore CS3 in administrator mode.
Cheers, thanks again for your time.
- Andrew

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 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.

CS3 freezing when I try to scan..

I just started trying to scan things through Photoshop but after the scanning completes, CS3 freezes every time and I am unable to even save the scanned file. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I can scan directly from the scanner application fine, but I was informed that scanning thru Photoshop produces clearer results so I'd prefer to do that if possible..
I tried increasing the allowed memory usage in my preferences but it didn't help.

That is absolute rubbish!

Decreasing it might be better because PS may be starving the scanner software.
How much RAM do you have and what % is allocated to PS?
I lowered the RAM to the lowest "ideal range" it recommends, at 54%, and exited out of Epson after scanning/before trying to edit the image - the latter seems to have worked as it's not having problems now.
my coworker claimed she could see a noticeable difference in scanning straight from the Epson application and opening in Photoshop, vs. opening Photoshop first and scanning through there - she says the latter is less fuzzy so I've been told to do it this way but I have yet to test the theory. does it really make a difference in any way if you do it one way or the other?
could it just be something i can change in either the settings of Photoshop or the scanner that would make the difference?

Encore CS5/Media Encoder CS5 freeze when transcoding

I'm trying to encode avi files for DVD. I have tried building my project in Encore & doing "build disc". Note: I am creating a Disc image, not actually burning any disc. It starts by transcoding; it gets through the video pass, and when it gets to the very end of the audio pass, it freezes. I have tried this 4-5 times with the same result. Oddly enough, I also had it work twice. Go figure.
Since I had 3-4 files to transcode for DVDs, I thought I might be able to save time (and try another approach) by using the Adobe Media Encoder. Same deal. It got about 99% done with the first file and FROZE.
What I've done:
1. Verified no DLA is running (at least, no Roxio or Nero software)
2. Verified the PhHlap64.dll is the latest (3.0.90.2 or whatever it's supposed to be)
3. Installed latest Windows 7 (64bit) and CS5 updates
4. tried different user accounts (both administrator accounts)
Here is what we do have installed on this machine:
Firefly
MediaShout 4.5
Quicktime 7.6.6
Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 (mr5)
Itunes
That's all I can really think of. I just ran the apple updater and see there is a new (7.6.8) verison of quicktime. I'll update that and see if it makes a difference. Any and all help is appreciated!

Update: We have discovered an issue where you can get this behavior if the source is a Premeire Pro sequence whose sample rate doesn't match that of the clips in that sequence. The solution is to match the sample rate of your sequence to that of your clips. Please let me know if this does not resolve your issue.
Thanks,

I had some 96/16 audio from an H4n recorder. AME just sat there. Also had the same problem exporting directly from PPro without using AME. Just sat there, no error, just nothing.
Changed the final sequence samples to 96kHz sampling and problem solved. That's a real bummer, since Adobe definitely pushes the sort of "edit anything" mantra a lot, and having to tailor sequence settings to a recently added audio clip is a step in the wrong direction. Glad to know it CAN be fixed, since these renders need to happen, but need that one patched up.

Encore CS3: Freezes completly when checking for "Subtitle Text Overflow"

Hi,
I have a project with about 2 hours of film in several timelines. Everything has been subtitled for hearing impaired.
My problem is that I can't "Check Project" with the "Subtitle Text Overflow" option checked. If I do so, the project freezes - and dies.
Now, I could care less about this bug if it wasn't for the fact that Encore automatically FORCES a "Check Project" when ever you try to build a DVD.
I have gone through every subtitle and can't find text overflow anywhere.
Can anyone help me out? :-/
Best regards,
David

============
Win XP SP2

Each subtitle in a script has a start and end timecode. Are you positive that none of the end timecodes collide with any of the start timecodes?
Also, which TV format is your project? And what is the delimiter between hours minutes seconds frames of your subtitle clip (i.e., is it a colon : or semicolon ; )?

PRemiere Pro CS3 Freezes when I choose Adobe Media Encore

Hi,
For the first time, When I choose File - Export - Adobe Media Encoder the application freezes and nothing happens. Bt hitting the ESC key "wakes" it back up again.
The Sequence is only 12 minutes long, but this has never happened before.
Exporting to any other option seems to work.
any ideas?
cheers

Pressing the ESC key is the clue here. It sounds like the AME window is opening but is not visible. Use the ALT+TAB key combination to cycle through your open windows and see if it brings AME to the front. If you have more than one monitor then try disabling all but one for testing purposes.
Cheers
Eddie

Illustrator CS4 and CS3 freeze when saving a PDF as an AI file

I'm trying to pull apart a couple of PDFs into layers to import them into After Effects. I do this all the time and it's a pretty standard thing which I haven't had any trouble with before, but for the last couple of days whenever I try to save the PDF as an AI file, the damn thing freezes - I get the washing machine of death (I'm on Vista), the program goes greyed out and I have to restart it, losing all the changes. I've tried the following, none of which seem to make any difference:
- Saving to a different drive (C as opposed to an external USB drive)
- Trying to open the PDFs in CS3 rather than CS4
- Trying a couple of different PDFs
I can't reinstall Illustrator as I'm not at the office until the new year and don't have the disks. The PDFs are small (300k or so) and so it shouldn't be their size making the machine hang, surely? I've attached a sample. Specs are - dual core Dell M6300 laptop, 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Quadro 1600 graphics.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received....

Sorry I haven't replied in a few days (I'm at my parents' house for Christmas, so not the ideal place to sort out Illustrator problems )
This is REALLY weird. I was wondering whether Illustrator would be able to save PDFs (which are after all basically the same thing as AI files for this purpose) to get around the problem that way. I tried: it saved the thing fine. Next I tried saving what I'd just saved as a PDF, as an AI file. It saved it in a flash without any problems. (This is with the trashed prefs file - I haven't tried reinstating it, yet.) I've just loaded up a 14Mb AI file, and saved it again without trouble.
There's only one thing I can think of that has been changed since the last time I tried this, when Illustrator wasn't working. This is something which was definitely affecting Word 2007: I've deleted a couple of network printers that were on nonexistent IP addresses. (Word wouldn't load anything, even the most basic of docs - it just froze; washing machine of death, grey screen, etc.) The default printer is thus now a Canon USB thing, which isn't plugged in either, but which Windows seems happy to carry on without. Word seemed unable to continue with the network printers installed, as presumably it was trying to contact them and failing. Could Illustrator have been falling into the same trap??
Anyway, whatever the problem, it seems to be working OK now. Thanks both and hope you have a merry Christmas and New Year period.
Best
