Encore CS4 crashes during build

I have a Blu-ray project setup in Encore. I've burned many versions of it to a BD Folder and also a BD-RE disc. Worked fine. But then Encore crashed. Now I can open the file but everytime I check the project or burn to a folder or a disc it crashes. Too much work to rebuild the project with subtitles so I am hoping for a workaround. I've seen lots of old (and mostly PC - I'm on a MAC) CS3 references to the same problem.
Oh, and by the way Adobe (if you're listening). It would be easy to rebuild the project if you could copy and paste subtitle tracks. You can copy and paste just about everything you do on a computer, but for some reason subtitle tracks are set in stone.
And I'm on a Mac Pro, Snow Leopard (and yes, I've built a disc since installing the upgrade), 4gb of RAM and an internal Apple RAID 5 hard drive array.

Thanks. Good advice, but already tried with no success. I thought that was for sure the problem. Here is that last ditch effort to find out what caused this to avoid it in the future. I had 10 timelines, all with subtitles. I needed those subtitles exported so I could rebuild a new project. I right clicked the subtitle track in each of the timelines and exported it as a txt file. It worked for 9 or the 10. On the 10th, it crashed as soon as I right clicked in the timeline. So I went a step further to isolate it. I trashed all the timelines except the problem one. within that timeline I deleted the audio and video so it is just the subtitle track. I deleted all my video and audio assets. So my project is now just a single timeline with only a subtitle track. I trashed the cache and reopened and still it crashes when I right click in the subtitle track.
I managed to rebuild the project successfully. This time I imported .mov movies rather than the transcoded files from Adobe Media Encoder. I decided maybe it was better to let Encore do the transcoding (this is for a Blu-ray project by the way). Anyway, it all works fine now.
My history with Encore on the Mac is that it is very unstable. I have to save a lot because you never know when it will crash. This goes back to CS3 as well.

  • Adobe Encore CS4 crashes during Render Progress

    After creating entire menu without any problems ( there is occasional encore system crash...) I go to File and then Render Project. Rendering process start with rendering of my audio file and then it goes to "Rendering menu" and crashes every time! I called technical support but after couple of hours i was told to give it a rest and try call them next day... I have bought CS4 back in June 09 and it was running kinda good, I had a system crash from time to time but never a problem with rendering. Now it will not even render my old projects that I have successfully burnt in the past. I get the same error every time; " Adobe Encore has encounter an error. [..\Port\PhotoshopObject.cpp-568] " and after clicking on "continue" button Encore disappears... I have formatted my "C" drive reinstalled windows vista64, reinstalled all software downloaded "new" file from adobe and reinstalled Encore again but the problem is still there. I also read some post about encore crashes and i even deleted my nvidia dll driver but Encore crashed as usual... Does anybody have any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks

    Well,
    it seems you have run Encore in the past succesfully (more or less) and this is the first "big stop".
    I'd suggest few tips:
    -have you recently update firmware, drivers of your video card or something else? If yes, I'd try the previous one, though I had to say that I'm working great with the newest beta 196.34 and my GTX 295.
    - It's just a menu render matter? or everything can't be rendered? (you probably know you can render every menus/assets one by one).
    Let's know

  • Encore CS6 crash during build. help please URGENT

    Hi,
    this is my first dvd in encore but I did lots of dvd on dvdstudio.
    My project has 1 main menu, 5 submenus. 2 timeline and more than 50 chapter list access by these sub menus. with option of play once, loop etc.
    Check dvd only bring back an error that Im ignoring cause it says that one timeline has no end action, and also it is orphan. don't care cause all chapter are select by chapter playlist to reduce the amount of size
    anyway I don't think it is something wrong with the authoring, maybe something I missing during the menu creation I did all of them in PS thru adobe dynamic link
    The built process crash at 1/3 of the progress. An it takes like 4 hours just for that. The assets are quicktimes none compresed and some .mp4 all together is about 2 hours of video.
    PLEASE any suggestion ? I need to send this to my client tomorrow
    I can Re make the whole dvd in DVDstudio but as you can guess it took me a lot of time to conect all this assets.
    thanks!

    Stan thanks a lot for all your help
    Last night I leave one of my computers enconding all the material to m2v files with encoder dvd presets.
    But when I tried to replace this files in my encore project it gives me an error: "Could not import file it is not the same type as the file it is replacing" weird. of course this files are now m2v. this files are working perfect in DVDstudio
    I will have to remake the authoring in dvdstudio with this m2v files.
    Too bad I was soooooo in love with adobe CS, I switch a few month ago, and premiere surprise me! is by far much better than FCP, audition is great for fast audio post don't need to use OMF and protools anymore, AE is AE the best for motion. encoder quality/speed is so much better than compresor.
    hope they fix encore and they make a more versatil speedgrade (one that work with any file codec)

  • Encore CS4 crashes under Windows 7

    Jeff – I hope this email method of getting a forum message up does work, as currently it’s impossible to sign in to the forums (just get an endless loop of flashing screens about signing in to the forums – great)
    Anyway, I’m still trying to get CS2 up and running, and all I’m seeing is silly attempts by support and no progress since July.
    My original case on this (#211070010) had the following action: 6th Aug I was sent a copy of CS4, which is useless as it can’t open my CS2 projects, which I reported. Then about 15th August I was asked if the CS2 fix I’d been sent had worked.  Since I hadn’t been sent anything I said ‘no’ and the case was then closed! 
    Then a new case (#184634426) was opened, and Support contacted me to ask what the problem was(!).  They then took over my PC one night and proved to themselves that CS4 didn’t work. They then downloaded Creative Suite CS3 to try Encore CS3 – the theory being that if CS3 could open CS2 projects, it could maybe save them in a format CS4 could open. Great idea, but what they installed was useless as Encore CS3 is in Production Suite, not Creative Suite. When they found that out, they gave up and disappeared and I’ve never seen them since, despite telling them they were looking in the wrong install package.
    Anyway, I downloaded the right package, thinking I could try Encore CS3 on a 30-day trial, and if their theory worked, then good. If not I’m back to square 1 again.  BUT, even though I’ve said I want a 30-day trial, the stupid CS3 installer still wants a serial number, which I obviously don’t have. 
    So here we are again – 3 months down the track, a case open for over a month, nothing happening, and no end in sight.

    Jeff,
    Encore CS4 crashes when I try and open Encore 2.0 projects with a meaningless error message that doesn’t tell me why it is crashing or how to fix the project to make it open it. And nobody can explain what the error message means or why it happens, so I have no clues as to how to address the problem.  I have used Encore CS4 to try and open all my old projects and basically if it’s a Premiere-only output file its happy, but if it’s an Encore-only built ‘slideshow’ project it will crash. Which means most of my projects won’t open.
    I have also tried all the Adobe published tricks to fix ‘bad’ projects, which can change the error message to ‘Proxy stream does not support requested functionality’, which is also meaningless and no one can tell me what I should then do to address the underlying issue.
    Encore CS3 may or may not work – I don’t know, as I can’t get it past asking for a serial number, even though I just want a 30-day test period to see if it can re-save the project to improve things for CS4
    Encore DVD used to run fine before this stupid re-registering issue happened.
    All this is on Windows 7 (yes, I know 2.0 isn’t ‘approved’ for Win7, but as I and many others have found, it runs fine).
    I really don’t know why Adobe doesn’t just send us RegEdit instructions to turn on or off the bit that says ‘this program is registered’ and then we could all stop bothering you – it would be a much much simpler and cheaper fix for all of us, Adobe included, than all this farting around.

  • ENCORE CS4 Crashing Computer??

    My ENCORE CS4 is crashing the computer each
    time I send a rendered project to it from Premier CS3 or CS4.  I have installed the Production Suite two times in hopes of fixing the issue. Nope!
    Any suggestions, Please...
    Also does any one who may read this Post have a suggestion for a 3rd party software OR hardware which will allow Premier to process HDV in and out from a SONY HDV camera product???  Right now, all inputs; both DV and HDV default to DV on Capture from a 1080i/60 input.
    Advanced Thanks,

    all inputs; both DV and HDV default to DV on Capture from a 1080i/60 input.
    Here's the thing.  Premiere has no ability to convert during Firewire capture.  It's a straight bit for bit transfer from tape to hard drive.  So if Premiere is only capturing DV, then either the media on tape actually IS DV, or the camera is set to downconvert to DV.

  • 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...

  • 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

    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!

  • Encore CS4 Crashes all the time

    I installed Adobe Production suite cs4 on my 8g
    Dell Precision 690 system running Windows 7 Professional.
    I love all of the other Adobe software and it runs rock solid.
    Encore, however, usually crashes when I drag a video file
    to the timeline.   (I noticed, also, that the video files appear
    to have what looks like a corrupted looking icon with half
    of the image taken up by a pixely looking green mosaic on
    the timeline.)
    I have updated my version of encore and I have checked
    quite a few of the crash threads.    I never really had
    any 3rd party dvd burner software, so there was nothing
    except the Windows 7 native programs capable of writing
    to the dmv.
    I is it appropriate to attach the crash data?
    Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.

    Stan, yes -  I'm putting more than one M2v on the timeline, but even with one, it eventually
    crashes.
    I tested the m2v output and it was "MPEG2-DVD pre-set: ntsc progressive widescreen high quality" with no other changes in the pre-set.    Encore did not like this output at all.  I have not yet tried your suggestion of importing it as a timeline vs. asset.
    So far, the only output my installation of encore likes is MP4.   The "H.264 Blu-ray preset HDTV 1080i 29.97 high quality" output seems to be the most favorable to a stable encore environment for me, and I'm not sure what this says about my installation.  Updated Nvidia drivers.  Updated encore CS4.   Roxio fix in place.   I still don't know what is causing the problem.  My work around is to use the "H.264 Blu-ray preset HDTV 1080i 29.97 high quality" output.

  • Encore CS4 crash on render motion menus

    When I first installed Encore CS4 (Windows 64-bit computer), it crashed every time I rendered my motion menus. I found a thread on this forum from 2009 that discussed this issue, and installed the Roxio patch (or whatever it was called)--that was the recommended solution. After that, render motion menus worked fine so I thought the problem was fixed.
    But over the past few weeks, it has started happening again--intermittently at first. But today, every time I go to render a motion menu--with different PSD and MPEG-2 files--it crashes every single time. I am beyond frustrated.
    What should I do? Since Encore has rendered motion menus fine for the past few months for me, I'm doubting that it's the Roxio issue. I read somewhere that profiles can get corrupted and can be reset. But I have no idea how to do that. So before I start screwing around with stuff, I figured I would come here and see if anyone has any ideas for me.
    Thanks for your help.

    Here's what I might try.
    Start new project (probably after restarting my machine for good measure).
    Open a library menu with motion.
    Render. Does that work?
    If so, I'd look a bit harder at the motion assets. Try an old project that worked, and bring those assets into a new project for motion.
    I'd try reinstallng the roxio patch, if it fixed this before. (I don't think was what it was intended to fix, but I wouldn't argue.)
    If none of that works, I'd consider a repair install. See number 1 here:

    atv- I've experienced similar issues- usually when this happens to me is because I open a project with a lot of media and close it before all the media is loaded or when in a large project-one thing I've done to combat this problem is for big projects I usually start a new project when re-editing it later down the road and importing the sequences I need into the new proj rather than work in the same older project--
    Please make sure when you are using prem or encore that you close any unneeded programs you have open as this sometimes creates problems
    how much space do you have available on your c/program drive?

  • Encore CS4 Crashing On Motion Menu Render

    Working with a blu-ray project that has a total of 19 motion menus.  While attempting to render motion menus, the program crashes and takes me to a crash report screen.  I get no error message; just a crash and report screen.
    The crash seems random in terms of when it occurs during the render process, so I cannot seem to narrow it down to a particular menu or file.  This crash occures both when building the project as well as when I try and render the menus through File>Render>Motion Menus.
    I can find very little on the cause online, thus am attempting to post here in hopes that someone can share with me some answer as to how to fix this issue quickly.
    Thanks!
