Export to anything, but Video for Windows causes crash in CS4

I am running the latest update to CS4 on my PC, and while I have had no luck exporting my timeline full of MPEG-4 material to QT, H.264, etc...using the render que, I am having success choosing the Video for Windows 8-bit 4:2:2 codec. I am running the latest drivers for QT and whatnot so why does anyone think this would be? It also causes a crash using the Export function in the File tab. Thanks for your help!

Here is an update to my last post. Anyone want to chime in on what could be causing this issue while exporting to an .avi? Thanks for the help!

In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.

Output Module - Video for Windows - trouble selecting Audio Format

Good day, people.
Need help setting up AE to output .AVI with customized audio format, in my case it should be .mp3, but I would accept anything but the default uncompressed audio. (audio Output Format button is disabled when Video for Windows is selected)
Of course I can output as-is and use external tools to repack audio data, but it seems awkward. If AE can output MP3-only audio, why wouldn't it output AVI with MP3. Probably I just don't know the right set of options, but I googled to find the answer for over a month with no success.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Because it's a hack?! Even Microsoft does not officially support or endorse such combinations, it just has become common place when DivX and others introduced it, which is a whole different matter. If you get my meaning: On one end there are specs and standards, on the other end programmers that tend to get creative in the wrong ways. Anyway, the behavior you are seeing is correct. AE only supports uncompressed audio for AVI.

EXPORT LONG FILES IN 1080p for Windows Media Player

Hello, need some help in exporting and encoding some large files from Premiere CS6.
We have 4 Sequences, each totalling 45minutes in length and in 1080p (ProRes422).
We need to export and encode for Windows Media Player as quickly as possible.
Looks like each export is going to take over an hour from Premiere as "Match Sequence Settings"
-keep in mind there is NO AUDIO.
Once it's out of Premiere as an MPEG, I can transcode to any format. Ultimately WMV would be optimal,
but we need to transcode the MPEG into a MOV file before 'Episode' will accept it, just to make the WMV files.
Target files: (4) 1080p Windows Media Player compatible files
Does anyone have a better workflow workaround? Midnight hour and need help!
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Thanks Jim, I can't export to WMV out of Premiere or Media Encoder. I use Episode to make my WMV files, and since Episode doesn't take MPEG in from Premiere (sigh)
I have to first make them in Quicktimes..
But yes! Anything Windows Media Player can handle... should I just go with the 5GB MPG files? No way for me to test, I'm on a Mac and these are playing on a PC
thanks for your help

InDesign CS5.5 Can't export to anything but smallest size PDF

Hi everyone,
starting this morning i am unable to export a document as a PDF to anything but the smallest possible size setting. All the other options (high quality print, x1a, etc) are gone. I installed an update yesterday but can't recall what the update was for so i'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue? I have some ads due and need to export to a higher res PDF.
I've tried doin't Print as Adobe PDF but the option doesn't reside there either.
Comments/suggestions definitely welcome.
Thanks!

You can start with wahtever preset is avialable. From the dropdown for standards, pick PDF/X-1a and most of the seetings will chang automatically for you, but you still need to go to the Compression screen and make sure the color and grayscale sownsample values are set to 300 and the the image quailty is set to Maximum, and set lineart compression to 1200, then go to the Advanced screen and set the transparency flattener resolution to [High Resolution].
Do you make backups of your computer on a regular basis? On mac that would probably be Time Machine, on windows either Windows backup or a third-party program. If you do, you ought to be able to find your old presets on the backup file and restore them.

Itunes 9.1 for windows causes visual c++ runtime error r6034

howdy y'all,
my setup ...
os = win xp pro, sp3, current patches installed
itunes = 9.1.0.79
the original update was thru the apple software updater. after the error showed up on 1st start of itunes, i ...
= rebooted the system = no fixee
= uninstalled itunes, rebooted, reinstalled itunes, rebooted = no fixee
since i updated to 9.1 i get the following errors at itunes startup ...
[1] visual c++ runtime error r6034
after i hit ok for item [1] i get ...
[2] itunes cannot sync information ..SNIP.. because syncing has been disabled on this computer. do you want to enable syncing?
if you do not enable ..SNIP.. to your ipod.
after i hit yes for item [2] i get ...
[3] itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. reconnect or try again later.
after i hit ok for item [3] itunes runs.
the itouch shows up in the left panel "devices" list and is selectable. pressing the sync button on the itouch summary page triggers TWO dialogs of item [1]! hitting ok on them lets the sync go forward. i presume the only actual sync going on is the music. the sync finishes with no errors and says "ipod sync is complete. ok to disconnect."
i haven't tested to get confirmation that anything is being synced so it might just be going thru the motions.
item [1] is listed on the ms site here ...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235560%28VS.80%29.aspx
it says the error is caused by a missing "manifest" and the fix is to rebuild the app with a proper one.

Hi all,
I could resolve some of the issues posted here with the fix offered by jeffcoffee under http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1595916&start=285&tstart=0 (However, I still have the R6034 error message. Would be great to have a fix for that too).
This is what he did:
copy the file 'sqlite3.dll'
from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support'
to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support'
*In a 32 bit Windows OS remove (x86) from the path.
Another potential dll issue might be: 'libxml2.dll', follow the same copy routine. If the first one does not fix it.

'Preparing Video for Display' causing render problems

I have a DV-Pal sequence, with a few crops, burn effects and transition, so I've got a lock and render everything, but every time I do about 3 mins later a dialogue box pops up stating 'Preparing Video for Display' with a little percentage bar. Once it's 'Prepared Video for Display' (whatever that means??) all my rendered effects revert back to an unrendered state.
Has this happened to anyone else and how can I stop it?
Much Thanks, Matt

Quit Final Cut Pro. Go to your Render Files folder and trash the contents of the sub-folder there that has the same name as your project.
Next step:
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up. If you have further problems, the backup can be recalled and you can continue working.
Re-open your project and render again.

Stair-stepping artifacts when exporting H.264 426x240 video for web

I'm trying to export a 16:9 video clip for web using H.264 compression at 426x240 resolution from compressor using square pixel aspect ratio. No matter what bit rate I set it at -- 600kbps-6,000kbps I still get these really jagged edges. Even though my source is DV, the original file does not have anything close to this; also I have never had this issue before. One other thing to note is that if I export at full resolution H.264 -- 640x360, I don't get any stair-stepping.
Here is a frame grab of the video with the problem:
http://salsunproductions.com/misc/crapy_artifacts-h264-frame.jpg
You can download a video clip of it here (data rate is around 600-700kbps):
http://salsunproductions.com/misc/crapy_artifacts-h264.mov
I'm also noticing some sort of horizontal lines in the artifacts?? This is progressive scan footage shot on a DVX100B 24pA (and captured properly w/2:3:3:2 pull down removal, the original file doesn't have this)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is getting really annoying having to export huge files...
PS: I'm using Compressor v3.0.2

It could be some scaling artifact. Make your stream progressive using frame controls (stay away from the best setting) and that should help.

What is the best way to export to achieve clear video for the internet?

Is it best to just use a preset? or are there other ways to get that clear look that you get when you watch the high def mp4 straight out of the app...?
I notice that some video is much more detailed and higher res looking...but when i upload to youtube it doesnt quite look as good...blurry... especially with smaller sizes...
Any suggestions?
Thx in advance.

i agree with you Jim.
but i didnt do that.
shot at 24p. never went anywhere near 30 for any of it. i exported at 23.987 because i read somewhere that that might be better for web video...cant even remember where...also my exports from AE were all 24p. i guess i will just keep it the same across the board.
i just wander if i use the animation codec out of after effects, full on lossless, if it would improve anythiing for the final render. I used an avid codec for export out of after effects for a better file size for the clips i put into premiere. seemed to work alright. then use h264 playback codec when i exported the final.
there is just such a difference in quality for some of the reels i see. i want that quality. clarity.

Try to delete printer in Control Panel and re-add:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Streaming Video for Windows Media Player?

I have a website with steaming video that only opens in quicktime and I need the video to also open in Windows Media Player for people who only have access to a PC and do not want to deal with Quicktime downloads. Does anyone know how to do this on a MAC? I use FCP 5, Compressor, ect.

You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

No sound when I export my movies with QuickTime for windows.

Using QuickTime Pro for windows and getting no sound on my exported movies. Won't even give me the option of adjusting the sound on options then movie settings. Any ideas? Thanks...

QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
MPEG Streamclip (free) can.

Fixed header working fine for desktop but not for windows phone

I have my website in asp.net with master page. I have used below css for header div of my website to make it fixed.
.header{
z-index: 3001;
position:fixed;
top:0px;left:0px;
background-color: white;
width:100%;height:150px;
This is working fine for desktop. But on mobile, I can only see my 50% of width of the header. On the right side of 50%, nothing is cmg. As in just white background is cmg. On the right side, I have a button which when I click is working. To say, controls are
not visible but they are working if u manage to click at the exact place. Any fix for this?
I want to add that this problem is coming only in windows phone. So need fix for that.

Hi User1508372,
The
Developing for Windows Phone forum is for developers to discuss writing Windows Phone apps, not for writing web sites targeting Windows Phone IE.
My guess here is that your site may be running into a compatibility mode or different versions of IE on desktop and on Windows Phone, but you don't provide enough information about which versions of IE you are using. Windows Phone 8 uses IE 10 (similar to
Windows 8).
The folks in the
Windows Phone IT Pro forums are likely to know more about the Windows Phone IE specifics, and the folks in the IE or ASP.Net forums will know more about how to target your HTML for different versions.

Quicktime 7.0.2.120 for Windows only crashes...

I've installed the latest version of Quicktime (7.0.2.120 with itunes 5.0.1) but whenever I try to launch the quicktime player I get:
QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience...etc...
Under Microsoft error reporting is this:
AppName: quicktimeplayer.exe AppVer: 7.0.2.120 ModName: quicktimeplayer.exe
ModVer: 7.0.2.120 Offset: 0006162a
I've had the same issue with previous versions of quicktime 7 but hoped it would be sorted out with the non-beta version. Anything above quicktime 6.5.2 doesn't work.
I'm running XP SP2
Any suggestions?

Well, I think this one definitely falls into the Quicktime bug category as opposed to driver issues, etc. It was a convoluted path to figuring this out but here it is:
The crash I described when loading the Quicktime player occurs only if the C: drive (or probably whatever drive Quicktime was installed to) has a volume name of greater than 28 characters. If the volume name is shortened to 28 characters or fewer the player loads just fine.
However, if you attempt to play a Quicktime movie residing on another drive which has a volume name of greater than 28 characters, you'll get this error, "Error -2000: a necessary data reference could not be resolved". Again, shortening the volume name of the drive where the file is located to <= 28 characters resolves this issue and the movie will play fine.
That being said, I'd have to say I'm not terribly impressed with this effort. There are some other minor bugs like if you move the player window while a movie is playing, the window edges around the video do not get properly refreshed. But the performance issues are what really disappoint. It just doesn't seem to perform very well and upscaling movies larger than their native resolution looks really bad. I had higher hopes with all this HD talk, but playback of one of the sample movies from the gallery at 480p looks more like a slideshow than a movie. And even the slideshow, when stretched to fullscreen, has lots of visible compression artifacts. To be fair, my system doesn't meet the requirements Apple lists, but those are pretty steep. Good old mpeg2 or divx/xvid video encoded at lower resolution and stretched to fullscreen look a lot better on my system. Maybe on a higher-end system that wouldn't be the case...
