Encore CS5 "Initailizing Transcoding" total lockup during program start.

During the transfer of a project from Premeire Pro to Encore, as the project is opening Encore the startup of Encore freezes the computer totally during the "initailizing transcoding" phase of startup. I have tried to "disable" the LG Blue Ray drive and Encore does start on it's own, but when trying to refresh the drive after re-enableing the drive in the "Build" panel when I want to "burn" the project 'lockup" happens again. Has anyone come up with a solution to this odd situation?

What Bill said is a likely cause.
If not, the following should only apply to CS4 and Win7, but I vaguely recall at least one CS5 user that said it fixed problems.

  • Encore CS5 loud transcoding

    Hi first time posting here.
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz
    1.5TB HD
    ATI HD 5570 1024
    12GB Corsair memory
    Win 7 64 Ultimate
    Encore CS5
    It never use to happen when I burned dvds with Encore but now every DVD I build a project. During Transcoding the PC get loud and sometimes annoyingly loud I cant do any other work till its done.
    Any ideas or do I have to live with it?  Would help if i can get it quieter as this is my business.
    Thanks in advance.

    ** I ** think it is easy to replace a stock fan... but I built my own computer, so I know how everything was put together
    I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103057 for my Intel i7 930 CPU - which, of course, will most likely NOT work with your AMD
    You just need to check hardware sites (I like Newegg) to find a cooler for your brand/model CPU
    A CPU cooler is generally held on with 4 mounting screws... don't forget a good brand of thermal paste to go between the CPU and cooler... and clean the old paste off the CPU before you put the new cooler in place

  • InDesign Crashing During Program Start

    I am having major issues with Adobe InDesign on 1 machine at a client's site. As of mid yeterday morning, InDesign will no longer load, crashing before even getting the loading splash screen with an issue with CoolType.dll.

    As what i can find online about the issue (although pretty much being only related to CS3) relates to fonts, i have uninstalled what they said they installed yesterday, but InDesign still isnt loading. Nothing else has supposedly changed.
    Can anyone please help me sort out this issue ASAP.

    Sorry if my last comment didnt make sense. I will explain more. If i go to the Windows Fonts folder, it shows it in the Windows Font Manager style. With this view, I have found that on this machine, fonts are sometimes showing twice. Below is a graphic showing what I mean, there are 4 identical fonts, showing in properties to reference 5 different files, but listed as 8 fonts. (the first one listed is a different file to the one with a duplicate name, but the others seem to reference the same file.)
    When copying all fonts via the font manager, it copied them like this:
    While I cannot see why these Swiss 721 fonts should show duplicates, as they dont follow what i am about to say, other fonts that are duplicated show in the fonts folder when viewed over a network with _0 at the end of their file name:
    I also seem to have found an encrypted font, although that shouldnt be causing the issues, as it seems to belong to the main user of the machine, but it may.
    I hope this clarifies things better for you. I am going through and removing all of these duplicates.

  • Encore CS5 freezes on "initiating transcoding" during startup

    At the moment I am a very frustrated Encore CS5 user.  Help.
    I cannot get Encore to open.  The program will start and when it gets to "initiating transcoding" it will become non responsive and the only way to stop it is to turn the power off on the computer. 
    I previously ran CS4 for at least a year on the same computer with no issues.  I upgraded to CS5 in early september and was able to successfully burn at least 2 projects. All other CS5 components work fine EXCEPT Encore.   This latest behavior seems to have started about two weeks ago.
    I've done the following
    1- an earlier post suggested upgrading a roxio driver.  Did that - no change.
    2-I've followed most of the simpler suggestions on the "Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Windows (cpsid_82252) - including trying to wipe preferences (couldn't figure out how to do that on Encore - since it won't open!), creating a new administrative profile and updating every driver I could think of.  I did not yet try the more involved strategies such as selective startup.
    3-I completely uninstalled CS4, Reinstalled CS5 and updated.  Encore opened once and will not open again.
    Oh and I also called Adobe support - waited on hold for over an hour to speak to someone on a very lousy, almost inaudible connection only to be referred to the same document I'd already read on my own. I was told I could pay for support (which seems ludicrous given that the program won't even open and is brand new!) and was even willing to do that, but the support tech seemed to imply I should try uninstalling cs4 first.
    So now I'm back at square one.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    My  computer is an HP
    windows 7
    pentium core i7 cpu 902 @ 2.67  2.67
    9 gb ram
    64 bit
    with two 500gb drives and an external raid Terra.

    You can try one more thing.
    Just enable your drive
    try with other software to burn a small file(nero or any other software)
    if it works, Install the roxio drivers from

  • Encore CS5 transcode terrible quality

    Hopefully someone can guide me to getting better quality from a CS5 DVD.
    Source video is high def footage from Canon HFM41 camcorder.  I edit in Pinnacle Studio on a PC.  In the case of this project, the end video is 36 minutes in length.  I output to a 1080i MPEG2 file, even though for the time being I will only be making a standard DVD, someday I may want to take the same file and make a Blu-Ray disc.
    In Encore CS5(Mac), I import the file as a timeline.  I add a main menu, 7 submenu pages for the 37 chapters, and a 2nd audio track.
    Since it is only 36 minutes, I should be able to get max quality on a DVD.  For transcoding, I choose Automatic, and Max Render Quality.  But when I watch the final DVD, any scenes of action look terrible.  I've tried many different transcode settings such as DV High Quality 7MB 2 pass VBR, and I even tried copying this preset to a "DV High Quality 8MB 2 pass VBR".  No big improvement in quality.  Sometimes the transcoding took 8 hours on a 3 year old iMac i5.  Very frustrating, especially when I can burn a DVD right out of Pinnacle Studio, and the quality is outstanding.
    Can anyone give me the settings I need in CS5 to get the max quality for a 36 minute DVD?
    My next step would be to output 2 files from Studio, the 1080i MPEG2 AND a standard DVD MPEG2 file.  Then import the DVD file into Encore.  But shouldn't a professional level program such as Encore be able to do better encoding than a $99 consumer package such as Pinnacle Studio.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    Stan, I did a little testing last night as follows.
    I took a one minute segment of some beach volleyball that was showing poor quality on my initial DVD from Pinnacle Studio, and exported this 4 different ways
    1) MPEG2 DVD Quality
    2) MPEG2 1080i (same as my original 37 minute problem video)
    3) AVCHD HD 1080
    4) MP4 1080
    I imported these one at a time into Encore, encoded as DV HQ 8MB CBR (except the DVD Quality file which did not need transcoding).  I burned a DVD for each.  The results all looked pretty good and pretty much the same between all 4 discs.  The MPEG2 1080i disc didn't show the same poor quality that my iniitial 37 minute video did, even though they were exported from Pinnacle with the same settings.  So then overnight, I tried re-transcoding the original 37 minute MPEG2 1080i file using the same DV HQ 8MB CBR from Encore and burning the disc.  This morning before leaving for work, I popped the DVD in and went to the volleyball clip, and it looked terrible during the fast action, same as before.
    So I am a bit perplexed by this.  The only thing I can think is that because the 37 minute project has much more data in the project, and the MPEG2 1080i video file is about 7.2GB, maybe Encore is not allowing the same data rate. even though I told it to use the same transcode setting than the test using the 1 minute clip.
    Not sure where to go from here, but I have exhausted so many 9-hour long transcode settings, and my project is way overdue.  I would really like to know what settings to use from Pinnacle as well as Encore so that I can save off the highest quality file from Pinnacle that will allow me the highest quality in Encore so that in the future if I ever want to go back and  re-export the project as Blu-Ray or something else, that I have the files I need.  I guess I will just make the DVD with the MPEG2 DVD quality export file, and just save off the Pinnacle Studio export in all 4 formats shown above, not knowing which one will be needed in the future.
    Any other suggestions or ideas?

  • Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in  Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
    The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file  in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
    Facts:
    1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
    Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
    Source files: MTS files
    Recording settings (clip settings):
    Type: MPEG Movie

    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
    2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
    Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
    3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
    Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
    4. Exported File:

    Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
    Channels: 2 (stereo)
    Frequence: 48 kHz
    5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
    I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
    Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
    How can I solve this problem?
    Please help me soon.
    Best regards.

    Hi Ann,
    1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
    The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
    Export Settings:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: Custom

    Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    GOP Settings
    M Frames: 4
    N Frames: 12
    Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    Multiplexer: None
    2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
    I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
    Export Settings
    Match Sequence Settings [selected]
    1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
    User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
    The results are also poor.
    4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
    I think I did not use it correctly.

  • Encore CS5 hangs during trancoding

    Hello
    I have the problem with Encore CS5 that the transoding of my project hangs after every asset. I have a rather big BluRay project with several Premiere projects and several menues.
    When I started the Encore project from scratch, the first time the encoding worked fine, one asset after the other.
    No I have amended some of my menues and made some small changes in one of my Premiere projects. No the transcoding stops (hangs) after each asset and does not continue until I change to another application (e.g. Windows Explorer) and back to Encore.
    Does anybody have an idea what is the problem?
    I'm using Vista 64, with 8 G RAM on a PC with a Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9450, Grafics NVIDIA GeFore 8800 GT.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hunt,
    After starting my Encore projected new, the problems did not occur anymore. Out of that, it seems that the problems are not related to the audio format.
    But I have another suspicion what could have caused the problems.
    When I shut down the Encore session with witch I had the problem, Encore was hanging too. In the Windows Task-Manager I found a Photoshop process. Since I had no Photoshop window open, I killed that process and in the same moment the Encore session closed.
    I remember that I have used Photoshop - from within Encore - to make changes on some menues.
    After this I also cleaned out the temp-Directory before I tried it the next time.
    If I have time, I will try to reproduce the problem. I will post the result here.

  • Encore CS5 transcoding problem

    I am using Win7 and trying to create a DVD in Encore CS5, using AVI files created in Prem Pro and can view in Monitor or Preview windows ok. When I transcode and then view in Monitor or Preview window the display simply displays as all horizontal green lines, best described as noise. It could be a field dominance problem...Has anyone had this ?. I am using PAL DV transcodes with Lower field first and have tried reloading all software on a computer with different graphics card etc...same result!. This has previously worked for me using Encore CS2 

    Can you give us the Export settings on those DV-AVI files? Should be pretty plain-vanilla, but let's get that out of the way first.
    Also, are those files muxed, i.e. combined Audio and Video?
    If so, try with elemental/elementary streams, i.e. one Audio-only PCM/WAV (or fully-DVD-compliant DD AC3) @ 48KHz 16-bit, and the one DV-AVI Video-only. Import that DV-AVI Video-only file as a Timeline, and the PCM/WAV as an Asset. In En, just drag the WAV from the Project Panel to the appropriate Timeline, where it will snap into place. Test this workflow.
    Good luck,

  • 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.

  • ENCORE CS5.5: Audio Conforming Is Eating Up My Hard Drive

    Hi guys. I am using Adobe Encore CS5.5 (Windows 7) for a DVD project. My project is pretty much a series of audio files synch with .PSD images. In other words, I do not use real video. Rather, I Use Images wity audio running in the bagground of the timelines.
    Encore keeps conforming (non-stop) the audio files of my project, and it's eating up my hard drive space at lightning speed, say 537GB of free space in like 30 mins or so.
    After much research, I found that the Media Cache Files Folder is being loaded with replicas of my audio files with the following extensions .ac3 48000.cfa and .ac3 48000.pek
    I use seperate hard drives for both my C: drive (for software) and D: (for my project files files). As I stated above, I have plenty of room in my C drive, but Encore keeps eating up the free space, this, of course, while I have my project running.
    I resaved the project with a different name. I even re-installed Encore, and the result is the same: Audio keeps conforming and the Media Cache Folder is loaded. When I empty this folder, I get my HD space back, but the process keeps on going. For those who do not know, the Media Cache Folder can be accessed in Encore from Edit--> Preferences-->General -->Media: Media Cache Files --> Browse or directly from C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/Media Files, where "Username" is your Computer's User Account name.
    This is by Far the most annoying software glitch I have ever seen in my life. I am so frustrated. My project is quite complex and I don't want to start all over again.  Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have 6 timelines. The total program length, as shown in the build tab, is about 3GB used. And it's a DVD project, not BD.
    I use MP3 files and I can see the audio keeps conforming from the Progress tab. There's a Stop button,but it's grayed out, so I can't stop it. The setting I am using to transcode is a3c as you mentioned.
    The funny thing is that I even deleted the project's audio files from the timelines and Project Assets as well. At this point the audio files don't even exist in my project, and yet the Progress tab shows the audio keeps conforming and my hard drive keeps being swallowed by this monster. That's driving me Nuts!
    Originally, and of course, the audio was Untranscoded. I performed the transcoding and yes, PSD images are brought directly as asssets into Encore. I probably should have done this from Premiere, but a) I have never used Premiere, and b) I was just learning how to use Encore by watching some video tutorials.
    The thing is that my project was complete and everything was set, including audio conforming. I even outputed a disk image, which I then burned into a DVD. At the time I did this my project was still somewhat small as I just wanted to test the whole process with just a few files. The thing is that at this point I didn't realize what was happening in the background with my hard drive's free space until I later got a Windows warning message of low disk space. And that's when the saga began for me.
    Once again, thanks for your help.

  • ProRes to Blu-Ray H.264, then Preview problems in Encore CS5

    Hello all,
    I've been taking 90 minute or so ProRes 422 QuickTimes (29.97 interlaced) into Media Encoder CS 5 and creating H.264 Blu-Ray files for use in Encore CS5.  I'm using the 1080i maximum quality setting and adjusting it so that target bitrate is 25mbps and max is 30.  Also doing 2-pass VBR.
    The issue I'm having is when I import these files into Encore CS5 and then preview them in a timeline they are artifacting all over the place.  They look like my cable signal when it breaks up, except through the entire program.  I've re-transcoded in the Media Encoder and am having the same issue.  I've also tried transcoding within Encore (which is really the same thing), and still it persists.  I haven't made a BD-R yet to check that and I know the preview in Encore CS 5 is very buggy.  But I'm wondering -- has anyone run into this?  Is this just a preview problem, or is there something actually wrong with the transcodes?
    Also, if anyone has a tip for where I can open the *.m4v files coming out of Media Encoder so that I can check them somewhere other than in Encore that would be awesome.  VLC player doesn't work, neither does QuickTime.  Thanks everyone!
    Best,
    JD

    Jeff,
    Thanks for the response.  Here are the answers to your questions:
    Some obvious but necessary checks:
    Are you authoring in a Blu-ray project and not a DVD project? YES, it is a 1080i 29.97 Blu-Ray project.
    Are you checking the transcode status column for Blu-ray and not DVD?  Definitely looking at the transcode status for Blu-Ray, and not DVD.
    If all is OK with those checks, then please check the audio:
    Are the files multiplexed?  If so, try elementary streams.
    Are you using elementary streams?  If so, try multiplexed.
    On these notes -- what is a good way for me to know if the transcoded files are multiplexed or elementary?  The interesting thing is that when I bring in the M4V and WAV files into Encore from what AME creates, the WAV file does NOT require transcoding, but the video file (M4V) does.
    Regarding the preview issue I was having it's worth noting that when I checked back in preferences the playback quality was still set to DRAFT, as if when I switched it to HIGH it just didn't take (and I tried this more than once).  I put it to HIGH again today and this time it seems it took, as preview playback quality is good again.  Just seems strange to me that Encore has a mind of it's own sometimes with certain things.
    I'm really more concerned with the transcoding at this point.  I did a project a couple weeks back where I just bit the bullet and transcoded the M4V again in Encore to author the ISO file, and several chapters of the program came out stuttering on the disc.  The original Quicktime source is fine and the preview playback on it was fine during those chapters.  I can't seem to find a throughline for these problems -- just seems to happen every now and then and can't control it.
    I authored a 53 minute 1080p 23.98 disc in early January that worked beautifully.  Everything was great - no problems.

  • Adobe Media Encoder and Encore CS5 Vs. CS5.5

    Hii,
    I have a Tennis project that has both DSLR 720P (60) footage and HDV footage 1080 (60i) footage. I have tried  making a Bluy-ray disc in Encore 5.0 and it looks good. I tried encoding Blu-ray H.264 footage from PP CS5 and Importing this footage into Encore CS5 in a Blu-ray project. Then Transcoding to DVD format. The resulting Jaggies/Saw Tooth lines of the Tennis court are terrible looking. Looks good in Blu-ray format. I have made DVDs from straight HDV footage and those come out looking great. It is something to do with the combining the different footages.
    My questiuon is did Adobe redesign the Media encoder or Encore in version 5.5. If so I would upgrade just to fix this problem. If not is there any good external Transcoding program that I can try? I have tried just about every known setting/Encode type in Media Encoder but non do a good job.

    I think part of the problem is mixing 720p60 with 1080i60 for DVD production. Different steps have to be taken to change HD to SD when encoding to DVD. See: http://www.bellunevideo.com/tutdetail.php?tutid=10

  • Encore isn't Transcoding for me on my PC

         I am new to using Encore and have been making my DVD's with Windows DVD Maker, then not long ago I started using Encore. The problem I may having with enocore is that when i place my project in encore and make my menu and everything then go to Build it doesnt burn to a DVD. It as the coding Bar under Transcoding but after about a hour it just stops loading. Yesterday I left it loading for 24 hours without it finishing. I may on a PC i have good ram with 8GB. I dont know what to do to get my project to burn to a DVD. I Burned the same project 3 days ago without a problem tho this time I added a few extra things like a Photoshop make Menu, Chapters and one more link. My question is does everyone how of a way that a can get the program to work faster? And is there a way to make the menu in Encore but Burn with another software? If so would that be faster and what software should I use?

    In Encore, you can "transcode now" rather than wait to do it during the "build." That way you can determine if it is your primary movies or other things that are hanging the project.

    Many of us like to build to a folder or image and use ImgBurn to burn the disk. Building to a folder or image is also a good troubleshooting step.

  • Encore CS5 crashes on importing  _sessionFiles....ac3 for blu-ray.

    Ok, for starters, I've been using cs3-4-5 for a while to create DVDs, no problem whatsoever. Even with ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link). I've been able to burn 1 perfect blu-ray project, it was on a fresh install of CS5. Since then Encore CS5 keeps freezing when re-importing the files right after the transcoding. It always freezes at the same place on many different projects;
    The filename is: _sessionFiles_Asf_session_1_audio.ac3
    I've tried many things: run as admin, holding ctrl/shift/alt on startup, cleaning cache. I even used the compressed files from the transcoded folders. My audio and video are of the same length. I just re-installed the suite today just to try it again on a clean install.
    I've also tried the audio as pcm:

    Any feedback would be really appreciated!

    I was able to burn a blu-ray disc with my latest project but not without any hassles!!! I had to remove all audio from the menus except the main one. The software allows me for 1 menu with audio along with my main timeline. If I add audio to another menu, it crashes.
    My project is a 4cam live show with 1 audio track.
    The source format is from my HDV Camera. So it's a .m2t file.
    The audio track is from the soundboard, a .wav file.
    Edited in Premiere pro CS5
    In Encore:
    I'm using Dynamic Link ( I also tried with a rendered .mkv file of the project)
    4 menus: Main, Setlist, Setlist2, Credits
    1 popmenu
    audio for menus are high quality mp3s

    I've done another project and have encountered the same problems. So what I do now is main menu with audio, rest of the menus no audio.
    I like Encore coz I can do popmenu with it, other softwares don't offer it. With other softwares I can do a perfect blu-ray with audio on all menus but no popmenu. That's why I'm working so hard to try to resolve the errors with Encore, so I can have projects with popmenu!!! If other softwares would allow for popmenu I would drop Encore.
