Encore Transcoding Problem

Dell,
Microsoft XP P Intel Xeon 2.27Ghz 2.5 GB of RAM
I have recently sucessfully burned a 30 min DVD and when I tried to do the next one, it failed immediatly and has failed since. Often it is the classic PPRoheadless.exe error sign that comes up when it is taking too long and then crashes.  Some of these files from Premiere contain files that are directly from the CANNON camera in a m2ts. file or something, AVI, FLV etc, so I dont know if that is the root of the problem. I have been cleaning my disc drive out of unecessary files and have 7 GB available on my C:. ( i know that is not alot, have been doing a disc clean up as i type).
So far for solutions i've got the suggestion of re-installing, but will I have 10 VERY VERY important videos done that need to be shipped out this week and am afraid of losing a great deal of my final projects ( like when it says the media source is gone where the old clip used to be). I will try to re-install it, most of the raw footage are saved on seperate Terabyte external drives.
Are there any other ideas? is it that i need a lot more space available?  let me know if you need more details.

What KIND of external drives?  USB/Firewire/Esata? (usb drives are too slow in data transfer for video editing)
And, some Encore notes...

  • Mainconcept Mpeg Pro HD and Encore transcode problems with blu-ray

    I wanted to use premiere pro to edit my HDV files and import them into Encore to produce Blu-ray discs without transcoding. I have tried the Mainconcept Mpeg Pro HD plugin 3.1 as this should provide smart transconding of the edited file. I have been having difficulty in exporting from Premiere a file which will import into Encore and to flag it as don't transcode for blu-ray.
    I have only been able to get Encore to not transcode if the file is demultiplexed into seperate video and audio files and that the video file must be a program stream. Unfortunatly I can only get Mpeg Pro to export a transport stream and I have to multiplex it onto a program stream for Encore.
    Is there a way to export from Mpeg Pro with smart transcoding a file which will not be transcoded by Encore.
    Regards Trevor

    If I choose the default BR disc export settings from the MainConcept MPEGPro export module, the file is automatically set to Multiplexing:None.
    Is that what you are trying to do?
    Another method to try is to make sure that the audio settings in a program stream from MPEGPro match the BR audio transcoding settings in Encore. If the audio is mismatched, then the whole file will be re-transcoded in Encore.

  • Transcode problems in encore!?

    Hello,
    Wondering if anyone else has seen this...
    I'm putting together a wedding DVD for a client which needs to be done by tomorrow. I've imported my premiere pro sequence into encore with the chapter markers and I'm trying to transcode it. Unfortunately every time I try it spends about an hour working on it, get more than half way through then gives up!
    Has anyone else had this happen? I'm working on CS5 under OS 10.6.7 at the moment. At the moment I'm exporting the video from Premiere Pro using media encoder as I can't waste any more time with encore. It's a real pity as I'm only trying to use it for what it's meant to do. This software isn't cheap yet it doesn't do for me what it claims it can do on the website!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do wonder if it could be a plugin in prem that's causing the problem. I'm using MBL looks, mojo and mercalli. Some is rendered and some isn't.
    Thanks again!
    Bradley

    I had problems too .. Mac OS X 10.6.7 .. and still have other issues.
    Beware of video - audio filenames that have any characters other than letters of the alphabet.
    Beware of odd audio codex files.
    Root User .. New Project Build ... Repair DIsk Permissions in Disk Utility
    I'm not sure which fixed my transcoding problem .. but I tried them all.
    I'm about to build another DVD .. so once I get authoring there may be more to add and I'll post it here.

  • Encore transcoding

    My question is, I shoot 1080 but I edit in 720 meaning I just crop on a 1080 timeline then set the crop to 720 in export settings and change output size to match the new source. I want to use Dynamic Link but that is the problem, when I bring the footage in I can't figure out how to crop it to 720 for output. I'm trying to get it to Blu-Ray, 24fps, 720 which I've been plenty of other times by exporting a AVI(uncompressed) in premiere then bring it into Encore, transcoding again blah blah blah... huge time waster. Does anyone have any ideas if what I'm trying to do is possible through the Dynamic Link option. Thanks heaps!

    Yes of course its a huge time waster encoding twice.
    Just export direct to dvd or bd in Premiere and import that into Encore.
    Have to wait until i get home to see how you can set Encore to 720p with DL.

  • CS4 - Does one need to Premiere render before Encore transcode?

    Production Suite CS4
    Question: Does one need to Premiere render before Encore transcode?
    I have an Encore asset which is dynamically linked to a Premiere sequence. Do I need to render the sequence in Premiere before transcoding it in Encore i.e. is Premiere rendering necessary? Thanks in advance.

    Adobe Encore technical support told me that Encore will not automatically render the Premiere sequence. You must manually render the sequence in Premiere before transcoding in Encore.

  • Encore Transcodes MPEG-2 Audio & Bitrate Error During Build

    Encore transcodes the audio but the audio is already MPEG-2. The video and audio assets have following properties:
    .mpv = 8.0 Mbit/s maximum (VBR 6-8 MB)
    .mpa = 0.2 Mbit/s fixed
    And during transcoding the error "Bitrate to High" stops the build process. Is there somewhere a limiter in action, or what is it?

    Sir Wilkes...
    Okay, I set the Bitrate to 9.4 Mbit/s, let's see if it works thru...
    mpa:
    The audio should be "MainConcept MPEG-Audio MPEG-1 Layer II-Audio" in stereo, however I have no program affirm that. The import works, I was just surprised that the audio gets transcoded, possibly to Dolby Digital. This company always delivers mpa's since they work with Avid. I have the video transcoded right there since the Avid 1x1 uncompressed quicktime codec does not work with any Adobe products, well, normally we do the Avid stuff on Mac but my boys are filming in London and Greenland so le chef has to do this one by himself.
    This DVD is PAL.

  • 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,
    Hunt

  • Transcode problem in Encore after 5.03 patch applied to Premiere Pro

    Is this a BUG?????? does anyone else has similar problem or it is just me?
    Media Encoder Or Encore stops transcoding video after new update 5.03 has been installed
    PPro Project is 60 min using AVCHD30(60i) presets
    Video AVCHD 1920x1080 60i Audio LPCM.
    One video track with video clips trimmed down to 50min. Then short clip  of AVCHD 1920x1080 60i was trimmed of from the same video. And Then was added to track two, kind of to overlay the track one. Dissolve transitions were added to this clip. Nothing else was used on this project except the time line has numbered chapter marks.
    Second audio track has prerecorded MP3 audio with (265kbps bit rate). No effects added to video or audio at all.
    This project was exported via Dynamic link to Encore. Encore Project is set to blue ray. I dont have any menus just time line from premiere.
    I encore I have transcode settings selected from asset properties as fallows.
    DVD NTSC DV High quality 8Mb CBR 1pass, Blu-ray 1920x1080i 29.97 Max quality H.264
    And here is the problem - transcoding stops and freezing whole PC during the disk build process or during "Transcode now" option.
    The process stops approximately at the point where time line in premiere has exact same video with dissolves on track 2 overlaying track 1. 
    Trying to transcode In Encore using AME, and that is freezing at approx the same point. 6 tries and no luck of transcoding.
    Any ideas what could cause that.
    My PC is quad core CPU Q6600, 8gb or Ram, Nvidia GTX4700, and couple of terabits of HDD.
    I never had this problem before this latest patch.
    Regards
    Andrey

    Update.  
    After uninstalling the CS5.5 Master Suite and running the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool I installed the CS5.0 Master Suite and opened up the same project file I was using in CS5.5 and same source video footage.  Premiere CS5.0 detected that the project was from a different version and converted it then it conformed the source video files and all was good.  So I opened up Encore and setup a new project the same as I had done previously with CS5.5 with the same transcoding settings on the dynamically linked sequence files from the Premiere project.  Clicked transcode now and it has been transcoding at 100% CPU usage and 40-60% memory usage it has been transcoding for about 8 hours now.
    However, it did have one instance where it did like I had previously described  were the CPU usage sudenly dropped to about 5-10% and the memory maxed out for a good 20 minutes but then pulled out of it and has not had a problem since then.
    In Windows Task Manager  it shows that it is Premiere and not Encore that keeps sucking up all the memory when transcoding.
    By the way we are using 1080p with a mix of both 23.97fps and 60fps footage shot with a Panasonic HDC-TM700K.
    I hope Adobe can figure this out soon for us.  I'm considering switching back to Final Cut Pro when the new version X comes out this month if it works better for me.  Hopefully that will not be necessary.  *hint hint nudge nudge*

  • Transcoder-Problem bei Adobe Encore 1.5

    Hallo zusammen,
    Ich habe eine komplete DVD erstellt.
    Dieser beinhaltet, das Menü, Video und 2 Tonspuren.
    Beim erstellen der DVD wird mir eine Fehlermeldung gezeigt: "Fehler beim Einrichten des Transcoders" Dies erscheint auch dann, wenn ich die Tonspuren einzeln transcodieren möchte. Bei der Video-Spur geht dies alles ohne Probleme.
    Der Suport konnte mir nicht direkt weiterhelfen, da dieses Problem dort "noch" unbekannt sei.
    Wer hat ev. schon damit Erfahrungen gemacht und kann mir helfen??
    Danke

    Hey hast du das Problem Gelöst bekommen ich habe jetzt lange zeit später auch dieses Problem.

  • Transcoding Problems

    Hello,
    Im new to this forum
    Im having a some trouble with transcoding a movie file
    The video was originally shot in HD.
    It was edited in Premiere Pro CS3
    Exported to as an AVI movie file.
    Imported to Encore CS3 for DVD authoring
    Here's the where problem begins:
    So, as I tried to transcode this AVI movie file, it does well while transcoding the video portion.
    As it's almost about to begin importing, a window pops up that reads "Adobe Encore Debug Event" and then another that reads "An Input Contract Violation has Ocurred".
    This has been going on since yesterday & I really like using Encore.
    I think it's a great program.
    I just need some help to get past this hurdle & continue to enjoy using it.

    thanks for your response
    I exported  it (Premiere CS3) as a movie
    (H.264)
    Max Bit Rate
    Progressive Scan
    Then imported it to Encore as an asset.

  • Warp Stabilizer Transcode Problem

    I shoot in 720 30p, and I normally render to an MP4 file. I need to create a DVD, and I'm using Encore for that. But I think my problem is with Premiere Pro--here's what it is: I use the Warp Stabilizer effect to smooth out my jib shots. When I render out from my PP timeline to MPEG2-DVD, I get the striped band across the screen, telling me that the effect is currently stabilizing. If you use the Warp Stabilizer, you know what I'm talking about.
    I'm guessing that as the timeline is transcoded to MPEG2 (an m2v and accompanying wav and xmp files), PP has to rerun the stabilizer for the transcode, and the transcoder proceeds before stabilization is complete.
    Has anyone else come across this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks for your help.

    After testing a bit more, I discovered that on the second attempt, the warp-stabilized clips transcoded correctly, with no 'Stabilizing' band across the screen. Apparently, the stabilization only ran once once when I changed the export settings from 720 30p to DVD.

  • Encore transcoded audio into mono instead of stereo!!

    OK here is my workflow:
    Shot 1080p video on Sony XDCAM PMW-EX1 with stereo audio track. Imported footage using Sony XDCAM Transfer (makes .mov files). If you open the .mov files in QT Player they show as having Track 1 - Video, Track 2 - Audio (left), Track 3 - Audio (right). I then used QT player on most of these files to set in and out points and then copy the selections, saving them into referenced movie files. (Did not do this on all of them though). In QT Player, all of these movie files play fine. Dragging the movie files into Peak 5.2 you can see they have a Track 2 and Track 3 for the audio (stereo!).
    Then I dragged all my movies (referenced and non) into Adobe Encore CS4 and selected everything and transcoded it all. (I dragged it to the timeline befoer transcoding.) The timeline shows just one audio track. It's the audio track that appeared when I dragged and dropped the video from the bin into the timeline. Should I have made a second audio track before dragging and dropping?
    Because when I did Build, and it made the BMDV folder, then I burned that to a BD-R, and played it, it's in mono. All the AC3 files are in mono (left channel only). Why would that happen? Shouldn't it automatically get both channels of the sound and do stereo, or warn you before burning if it's in mono?

    You are correct, sir. I'm surprised the software is not intelligent enough to recognize that. It really should be drag-and-drop simple. It should at least ask the user, "do you want to discard one audio track?"
    To solve this I tried the following: go into Final Cut and export the audio as stereo AIF, then drop that in. I wanted to avoid having to re-transcode all the video, but when I did this, it decided to anyway, then had an error. So I deleted the transcode folders. Then I went to transcode again and now it's saying "Error Creating Transcode Folder" or whatever. Sigh.
    This program just seems too finicky and not very robust. I'm going to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 7 and just use Compressor 3.5, which finally can export a BDMV folder that I can just burn to whatever.

  • Exporting to Encore Interlacing Problem

    Hi,
         I am finishing up my project and am working on getting DVDs burned and have run into a problem. 
         My computer came with Final Cut Pro and some of the Studio applications on it, but not DVD Pro.  I decided to build my menu in Adobe Encore, which I already have on my computer.  I exported my movie in QuickTime from Final Cut.  This video looks fine when played on my computer just through QuickTime or in iDVD, but when I import it into Encore, it shows up with interlacing/jagged lines when something moves fast horzontally across the screen or the camera pans.  This happens when I  play it in Encore or burn it to a DVD.  The interlacing doesn't show up too much, but my equipment wasn't horribly high quality so any more quality lost is quite annoying.  My sequence settings in Final Cut are:
              Frame Size: 640x498 (custom)
              Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
              Field Dominance: None
              Editing Timebase: 29.97
              Quicktime Video Settings: Apple ProRes 422 (100%)
              Render in 8-bit YUV
              Process Maximum White as: White
              Motion Filtering Quality: Normal
    Also, will I get higher quality video if I use Compressor with the project?  I have tried using it to fix a past problem but it had the interlacing issue as well. 
    I don't know if anyone can answer these questions because they deal with Encore, but I figured I'd ask.  Thanks in advance!!!

    How are you viewing it.  A computer screen is progressive and will always have problems with fast movement with interlaced material.  Compressor has a great deinterlacing option in the frame controls.  Will add considerably to the time it takes, but well worth it.
    And why is your frame size 640x498.  that's just wrong.  And the resizing that's being done to make it fit the dvd standard may be part of the problem.

  • Encore CS4 problem uploading flash streams to remote ftp in build

    Hi
    I'm working on a windows XP and trying to upload to my my remote server which has a new install of the Adobe Flash Streaming Media Server 3.5
    as for Encore
    under build when creating a streaming flash I can't log into my ftp site, only to local folder.
    I created a link to my ftp site under networks, when trying to link to this FTP Encore won't accept it.
    no problem creating flash progressive downloads but impossible to upload the streaming version.
    progressive is really not the desired output.
    how can I log onto the ftp site?
    thanks in advance
    Klaus

    If FTP still doesnt work for you, please try uploading videos to FTP server without using Encore (try windows FTP or a FTP client). If you cannot upload videos anyway, the problem could be with FTP server configuration.
    Following are the steps to setup your streaming server. (Steps are for Microsoft IIS FTP server on WinXP. You can use another server also)
    1. You have to install a Flash Media Server 3.5 and a FTP server for this. FMS 3.5 free developer edition can be downloaded from www.adobe.com
    2. Install IIS on winXP from Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (You may need a windowsXP installation DVD)
    3. Configure FTP server to point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod\media" folder
        (FTP server can be configured from IIS window in Control Panel > Administrative Tools> IIS. Right click Default FTP site > Properties > Home Directory Tab > Set Local Path to "FMS3\applications\vod\media\media" folder)
    4. Encore streaming script for the server will still point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod" and not to Media folder inside Vod. (For example, if FMS server name is amgupta, FLV streaming location will be "rtmp://{FMServerName}/vod/" 
    5. Encore streaming script should be updated at 2 places with the new server names. ("rtmp://FMSservername/vod/flv:" and ftp://FTPservername ). The script is located at "X\Adobe Encore CS4\Required\flashExportScript\localFMS.jsx" where X is the install location of Encore CS4)
    Hope this works. 

  • Gamma Shift with Encore Transcoded Material

    Hello,
    I use Edius as my NLE and have always noticed that if I let Encore CS4/CS5encode my assets the gamma of the resulting DVD or BD is higher resulting in a grey, milky look to the footage.
    1)  Does anybody else see this?
    2)  What is causing this?  Color space issue?
    3)  Can it be avoided?
    This issue has baically stopped me from ever using Encore beyond a compiler of assets.  It has been there since CS 4 for me.
    Any ideas would help and might save my lowered opinion of this software.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Thank you for the tip about using AME.  I thought Encore CS 5 used the media encoder in the background automatically.
    The gamma shift is gone and I am happy to be using Encore in a more prominent role going forward.
    One thing, it seems a bit odd regarding transcode settings.  I can not find a way to enter AME through Encore to make presets.
    Are the presets in Encore the same as AME?
    Any help about this proceedure would be appreciated!
