Exported MP4's sometimes crash during playback, just before the end.

I experience this problem pretty often, only when playing back in Windows Media Player.
I'll export a video to MP4 (usually AppleTV 720p, H.264). When I play back my exported video in WMP, it'll get to the very end and crash with about 2 seconds left. The message will be "Windows Media Player Encountered a Problem When Playing Back This File." If I click through to web help, I'm told it's a "Windows Media Player C00D11B1" error, which looks to have something to do with sound.
In general, the error seems to happen if I try to fade my video out to to black (Opacity 0) at the end, or have my audio run a little past the end fo the video, or things like that. But it's not consistent.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? What might it be about the end of my project that's causing the playback to crash?
Thanks,
Mo

I'll agree with that, but that's not really a solution. I can't control what clients will use for playback.
I'm interested in finding the root cause of the problem, if anyone has any ideas.
For the current video that's crashing, I tried a different preset: "HDTV 720p 29.97 High Quality" and now WMV plays it all the way through. Maybe the preset "AppleTV 720p, H.264" is the problem?

Smartforms - Identify the page just before the last page

Hi,
I need to add OMR code into a Smartforms, I print my form in duplex mode, and my OMR code must be only in the odd page (1, 3, 5, 7 ...).
In the OMR code, I must set the end of the grouping, this end occurs at the last odd page. But if the last page is pair (2 4 6 8 ...), I need to the the ending code to the page just before the end.
So, I need to identify the page just before the last page.
My problem is, when I debug the Smartforms, the SFSY-FORMPAGES contains the actual page, not the value of the last page.
if someone have an idea ..
Fred

Maybe I found the solution :
Note 359009 - Postprocessing and query of the total number of pages
I check and make a return (if a day someone have the same problem)

Premiere Elements 11 crashes during playback after adding PiP

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 11, up to date, and Windows 7 home up to date. This is a new problem that just started with my most recent project. I have done these types of edits and PiP's many times with success with the same type of source video formats, etc.
The problem: I add a small clip of video over the main video timeline as Picture in Picture. It adds to the timeline successfully and I can even play it back ok (before rendering). If I add a transition to the front of the PiP, it will crash during playback (pre-render). Or, if I render the timeline before adding the transition, it will also crash during playback once it gets to the PiP.
I tested PiP with still pictures and that works ok, it only crashes on video PiP. I have tested different video formats (from GoPro and from Panasonic camcorder) with the same results (crashes). I have uninstalled Adobe Premiere as well as Quicktime and re-installed them, same results. I am quite frustrated with the constant crashes, especially since I have done a dozen or more videos the same exact way using the same cameras and same types of video files.
Any help is appreciated.
Justin

So I created a new project using the project preset "DSLR 1080p30 @29.97". Everything worked fine in that project using the same source videos and doing PiP (tested with both methods).
I opened the project that was giving me problems and the PiP worked when using your approach of dropping the PiP clip onto Video 2 then scaling it down. I then deleted that PiP and re-added it the way I was doing it before, and it crashed the first time I tried to play it back.
I closed down Elements and again tried to reproduce the crash the same way, but this time it worked and did not crash...I tried multiple times to reproduce the crash, sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't...
So, I don't know exactly what the problem is. Lastnight I could reproduce the crash every time by either rendering the PiP or adding a transition to the front of it (then playing it back), every time it would crash. Now it is behaving differently.
At any rate, I will start using the correct project settings going forward and know that I can PiP using the other method as well. Maybe the project that is giving me problems is just corrupted or something, I'll toss it an start anew.

Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) sluggish and crashes during Playback

Issue:
Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) extremely sluggish and crashes during Playback. My video won't play at all unless I render (which is no problem). I render all my clips and attempt to play it back. It usually will allow me to watch it the first time around. After that, the program freezes up or becomes extremely sluggish. I have even had a blank green screen pop up on my playback monitor. Sometimes the program will generate the message "A Serious Error has occurred" and will shut down. Other times, the program just locks up. I am not running any other programs except email.
Here is what I've tried:
Cleared all my cache files
Set my Mercury Playback set to "Software only"
Restarted the program and computer after doing the above.
Made sure I had no RGB Curves as an effect (as I did see that was an issue from other threads)
Deleted all unused footage
Deleted all render files and re-rendered everything.
I am editing footage that requires Ultra Key. I am using a Three-Way Color Corrector. My video isn't even 1 minute long, so I would think it would be easy to render and playback.
Here is what I am working on (I know I need an upgrade - was hoping to after I finished this client's project):
Macbook Pro 2008
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.3
HELP! This is seriously slowing my workflow and my project is due tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am Windows but I have some saved Mac links that may help

My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically. Any thoughts?

My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically (I had been trying to open it just before by clicking on a song file in my Documents window, and that's the song that started playing when the pc woke up). I went to my iTunes Help and clicked Updates/download iTunes 10.7 twice, but got nothing. Now, Im wondering if I should downloacd the entire 10.7, or whether that would overwrite all my files, erasing my songs. Anybody know? Thanks.

Hey thanks for replying.
Here's what I did:
First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

When exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end

when exporting, movie always tries to fade to black toward the end. trying to export just one picture, i realize that when exporting multiple pics to a movie it fades to black at the end, but im just doing one pic. settings are as follows, ken burns effect is being used, settings in slideshow, transition are "none". settings in "adjust" show transition as "none" also. this is my first post so hope that this makes sense. thanks.

wcminor:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I tried to duplicate your settings and exported to a QT movie. The movie did not fade to black at the end. It does fade when played in iPhoto.
My settings were:
In the slideshow window:
Effect: none
Default transitiion: none
In the settings pane:
KB is checked, transition is none.
It's the same whether there's music or not.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

For each song in my iTunes Library just before the name of the song there is a check box. What is the effect of checking or unchecking this box?

Unchecked items will not play unless specifically clicked on. They will not be included on shuffle and will not be synced to ipods.

After upgrade to Mavericks, a new gray screen appears just before the regular login screen. The new screen appears for a few seconds with several boxes full of unidentifiable figures. How can I remove?

OS X Mavericks Upgrade Issue
Now when I boot my iMac, a new gray screen appears for a few seconds following the Apple screen and just before the login screen. The new screen shows several boxes with unidentifiable figures in them. It has become annoying because it has never appeared before. Anyone know of a way to stop this screen (of garbage) from showing? Thanks…Larry

It's possible that a PRAM reset may solve the problem:

NO AUDIO during playback after converting the VIDEO using Creative Video Conver

I have a ZEN 2GB/4GB/8GB/6GB/32GB.
I tried to convert video from a dvd using Creative Video Converter.
The video is fine but there is no audio during playback.
What am I doing wrong?

"If this is the case, the original video file may be in a format that contains muxed (multiplexed) audio and video, and cannot be exported with audio."..."If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," the audio portion of the file may not be retained with QuickTime Pro or iMovie."
I have read that article and I thought it ment that the sound will work after you convert to the MPEG4 format, which I did.
Are you saying that if it starts out as "Muxed audio" then there is no way to convert it?
If that is the case then in what situation would you need to use the Videora Converter?
Thanks,
Sean

I took my computer in for service just before the warranty expired now I have one question and can't get any help. The sound buttons on my keyboard no longer work

I installed the new Mavericks update on my MacBook Pro when it was released and offered free of charge. After that my computer started crashing on a regular basis, upon the realization that my warranty was due to expire at the end of the year I took my computer in to the Apple Store in Green Hills Mall about 5 days before Christmas. To anyone not familiar with Green Hills in Nashville TN the traffic is horrendous at all times let alone 5 days before Christmas. They had to send it off for service and it was shipped back to me on Christmas Eve. Through the holidays I haven't used it much. I usually just use it at work between customers and most of the time just leave it here. Friday evening I played videos with no problems, when I came back in on Monday and played a video the sound had decreased dramatically and the volume control keys on my keyboard would not work. I don't know if they were working before because I don't remember if I used them or not since Monday was the first time the volume was so low. Now my warranty is expired and I am very poor ( The I have a job, a roof over my head and food to eat but a negative balance in checking account and bills still to pay kind of poor) so I am hoping that someone out there knows what's causing this and how to fix it.

Mavericks has had a lot of compatability issues and are slowly being fixed. This is why I haven't upgraded yet.
Either downgrade back to Mountain Lion or just wait for a software fix.

Getting burned just before the burn: general error

After a bit of struggle getting CS4 on my machine, (an upgrade from CS3), I did a test project of a few short DV-based shorts and tried to burn a disk. Just after a successful transcode, it gives the "general error" error and stalls the burn. Same thing with burning a folder or an image. I also noticed that if I try to preview the project again after burning fails, it won't preview either (although it will before the burn attempt). Any attempt to bring in pre-rendered (*.mpg) files from any source hangs the whole machine.
I have taken some of the advice from the forums, like removing the audio track, etc., to see if this helps, but so far it doesn't. I am running it on Windows 7 64bit, but it has not had any issues so far with PP CS4 or any of the other Adobe products compatible with the Vista 64bit OS.
Machine stats:
Intel Q9650 cpu
Intel DG33-TL mobo
8GB memory
1TB RAID 0 for SD and HD files
nVidia Quadro 540 graphics card
No overclock or special tweaks
Been using PPro since 1.0, but have not seen this problem before.
Another perspective maybe helpful.
Thanks-

Addendum:
I have used Cineform in the past (Aspect HD) but I removed it because it was interfering with some of my other software. I replaced it with NEO player, but I'll see what taking that off will do.
I sometimes use the Blackmagic Intensity Pro for ingest of some of the HD footage into Premiere.
My machine, for reasons I cannot figure out, recognize any camcorder through Firewire (I generally use P2 cards anyway); I do not think this bears on this particular problem with Encore CS4.

Exported MP4's sometimes crash during playback, just before the end.
