Premiere Pro CS5.5 craches exporting mpeg2-dvd

Please help me.
I'm trying to export a movie to mpeg2-dvd and premiere pro craches after a while. Is there any way to know what is the problem, like a log file somewhere?
I believe that is something in this project because i've exported an older one and it went ok

I still have the same problem.
I will give all informations yhat you asked in your reply:
Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update
All windows updates
System: Windows 7 Professional x64
Source footage: HDV clip
No error message during render. It just stops in a specific effect (crossfade). If i delete this transition i can render the entire sequence but then software crashes when exporting media (mpeg dvd) or after a very long time gives "unknown error"
Has this ever worked before? If export an old project it works normaly
What other software are you running? no other software, only cs 5.5
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? matrox mx.paterns but not in use in this project
Tell us about your computer hardware: Asus Workstation, I7 960 12GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro 2000, Matrox Mini MXO2
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? Yes my gpu is supported. Already tried with software acceleration, same problem
Already copied entire work area to another sequence and doing so i loose all effects and then exports fine.
I hope I have provided enough information so that someone can help me

Should I export MPEG2 DVD in 720p sequence? (cs5.5) final output DVD

What's the best way to downscale for DVD in 720 30p (HD). Is it best just to export stright to the preset MPEG2 DVD in premiere's export settings?

Correct, choose the MPEG-2 for DVD format, and for a preset, Widescreen Progressive (NTSC or PAL as appropriate).
It takes a bit longer to encode, but if you check the "Maximum Render Quality" at the bottom of the AME window, this should improve the downscaling quality.

My exported mpeg2-dvd m2v file won't playback an image in Encore CS6 or QT?

I've also posted in Encore, but this group sees a lot more traffic and supposed to deliver tomorrow.
Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP CC 2014, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
I don't know if this is an export issue, or an import-into-Encore issue. I get sound but no image in the Encore monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
Thanks for any leads.

If you can post screen grabs of the Export Settings and Encore screen, might be of help. Have not run into this before, no video in Encore.
Thanks

Problems exporting and playback the MPEG2-DVD videos, from .MP4 file!

I have PremiereProCS4 v.4.2.1 installed on this PC:
OS:WindowsXPProx64Bit; CPU:IntelCore2Quad Q9650; RAM:4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 Kingston; HDD:3x500GB WestrnDigital Caviar Green; VGA: Sparkle GeForce 9400GT 512MB.
I have downloaded an AVCHD file .MTS 1920x1080p 25p, made by Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, from this source (.rar file):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RWR5MNYHhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
No problems with playback.
Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
2) Is this a transcoding problem?
3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:
http://rapidshare.com/files/337858976/Canon_HF100_1920x1080p_25p_01_AVCHD25p.m2v.html
Strange! With .MTS files I haven't any exporting problems at all!
Please response me hurry!
Many Thanks!
Horsepower.

OK! Sanyo use a bad format.
But about JVC GY-HM100 Professional:
I know this model very well!
It records to .MP4 XDCAM_EX at the same manner of Professionals Sony Camcorder such this: Sony XDCAM_EX model "PMW-EX1" price €6.478,80.
This JVC GY-HM100 camcorder is not tha same as Consumer JVC camcorders.
It doesn't record MOD or TOD files.
It records .MP4 files editables in Premiere with XDCAM_EX "Preset"!
See those details:

The first Brochure called "A Guide to the Most Efficient Workflow with ProHD
(6 pg brochure)" explain very well the .MP4 - XDCAM_EX format and the Editing process that should be with Adobe PremiereProCS4.
I have inspected the downloaded .mp4 file in question, and GSPOT v.2.70a reading this:
-CONTAINER:
     isom: MP4 Base Media v1 [IS0 14496-12:2003]
-VIDEO:
     CODEC:avc1
     NAME: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
-AUDIO:
      CODEC: mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC
1c) Is this an AVCHD video codec?

Failure with mpeg2 dvd

I'm rendering the same sequence of about an hour to different formats mostly hd 1080p h.264 and pal to mpeg2 dvd so encore wont work hard to convert.
last days I cant get the mpeg 2 dvd to render, I keep getting errors/failure.if I render just mpeg2 it renders perferct.
so until I could ditch the DVD for good I realy need the AME queue with mpeg2 dvd for my workflow.
I hav'nt checked it but I'm sure it will export mpeg2 dvd directly from PP

the settings are done in PP
by the way if I switch to mercury engine softwere only it renderes but very
very slow

Exporting through Adobe Media Encoder as MPEG2-DVD but quality is pixelated. Help!

So, I am exporting my project through media encoder - MPEG2-DVD, Quality 5, NTSC, 29.97 drop frame, Progressive, Standard 4:3, VBR 2 Pass, 7.4697, 7.4697, 8.0382, Frames 3 & 15. I have done this process many, many times. Today, I am getting this pixelated junk when I pull the exported file into Encore. It looks smooth in the window prior to export but then it comes out like this. I am using footage that I captured into Premiere Pro and animation created in After Effects. Can anyone help?

Cs3 export for mpeg2-dvd settings -happy as a clam-

Hi,
Im using CS3...
I want to export from CS3 to mpeg2-dvd preset ( ntsc high quality, which is set to 4 out of 5 on the quality slider setting )
My footage is 720x480i 29.97, 16:9
The dvd will be watched on computer and Digital TV ... so I'm thinking I will convert to progressive.
My bitrates in the preset are:
min: 1.5
avg: 4
max: 7
gop m frames 3
n frames 15
The file size exported is 1.4 gig. It looks OK but not great compared to timeline playback. I've been looking at my notes ---about making exports----but I am so happy ( happy as a clam ! ) ...that I even managed to get a 51 minute story out of this source material ( walking and walking and walking , long story..., not to mention probs with the continuity ).... as I was saying, I am so happy with the product--- I was thinking maybe there's some good advice re: export while I go get some beer to celebrate !
..... I was wondering if you all might have some suggestions for changing my bitrate settings to give me a better quality export....and I will then burn a DVD someday with that exported file.
Rod

Hi ,
Thanks Bill..yes, I've looked at those threads, those guys are incredibly
cool...very knowledgeable....
Oddly enough a lot of what they know has come from experimenting and "trial
and error" type stuff....or else is wouldn't be as original and good as it
is.
I admire that.
I'm going to up my avg bitrate and see what happens...screw around with that
a few times ...see how it goes...
You see, at the moment I am just doing the video, no stills ( no slide show)
and no music track ...so that will change as I add more stuff....the
bitrates and overall compression.. I do , thanks to all you guys, know that
much...Just thought I would go get some beers and ask for 51 mins for the
preset of mpeg2-dvd- from CS3 might be....what a better rate might be right
off the bat....
No big deal.
You have no idea !!!! I am sure happy clams make everything better, whether
it's chowder or broadway plays !!!! (or was that about investing clams? )

Exporting audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd

Hi, I'm trying to export audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd.. I changed multiplexing to DVD but is still exporting seperately is there something im missing? thanksa

To add, with Multiplexing set to NONE, check what the Audio format is set to. If "PCM", this is an uncompressed .wav file and will result in export of .m2v video and .wav audio (I think Mac uses .aif) and use "Import as Timeline" in Encore for both clips at once. Encore will automatically transcode the audio to Dolby AC-3, do NOT mess with settings in Encore, defaults are correct. If you have CS6, then in AME audio settings, there is an option for Dolby and you can use that to create the .ac3 audio and then Encore does NOT do any transcoding to audio or video. Note that older versions will also show "Dolby" but that is a free trial of a surround encoder, not the same. You just want the stereo option available in CS6, or use PCM option is fine

Quality issues w export to MPEG2-DVD

I'm using CS4, creating moving still images, some directly in the timeline and some from After Effects. The pictures (imported at resolutions above the timeline SD widescreen rate and then scaled down) in the timeline in the Program box and on my separate monitor (through Matrox breakout box) look clear and sharp. However the DVD created comes out noticably softer (like it's slightly out of focus).
To create the DVD file I use File/Export/Media; then in Media Encoder I set :
     Format: MPEG2-DVD
     Video: Quality @ 5
     Widescreen (which is how the program is set)
     Bitrate Encoding: CBR
     Bitrate: 7
     from the drop-down menu I checked Use Maximum Render Quality
To compare the original timeline to the DVD file, I imported the resulting MPEG2 file and added it to a video track above the original picture video track, so I could toggle between the two to compare them.
Am I missing something here? I would really like to get a DVD to look as good as the Premiere timeline.

A lot depends on the source material here - how much motion content, etc. There are a lot of articles and tutorials on encoding as it is still somewhat of an art form.
Some thoughts or ideas for you to consider:
Consider using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which will use your data rate more effectively in some cases
use two pass CBR (or 2-pass VBR). This will give it extra quality by looking at it twice. It will take longer to encode.
Look at the output preview tab when in the export media to view what a frame would look like (sometimes it helps)
Render short segments of test media to help you find the best settings for your source material.
You might consider a 3rd party encoding program if you really need that extra 10% - Sorenson Squeeze and On2's Flix are both good products. Other guys here will chime in with some inexpensive alternatives - maybe VisualHub.
MPEG2 breaks down most when you have high motion content. things like a wide shot of a tree with the wind blowing through it drives MPEG2 crazy.
Hope this helps,
Dennis

Exporting Mpeg2 in FCP to author in DVD pro

After exporting mpeg2 video in 4:3 aspect ratio, when importing clip into dvd sp, image has narrowed with 2 black lines either side. Have been using these programs for 14 months successfully, this is happening to all clips since December...never happened before!!??

Hi Mike I tried everything to try and resolve this one, I tried all combinations of field dominance. I also followed the recommendations from the Apple help to use the intermediate codec (search under AVCHD in the Help files) If I get anywhere I will mail you
Regards
Fred
PS I had some advice from another forum group who said to try and export a Quicktime movie into DVD Pro and not to send to Compressor, I will try that later and see if that helps.

Premiere Pro CC - MPEG2-DVD export issues

I have two projects that I am attempting to export using MPEG2-DVD, both exports begin to playback correctly but about half way through the video begins cutting out, flashing white and and green, and then cuts to completely green. Also the sequence length is 25:18, and after export it is 18:05. Export preset for MPEG2-DVD was NTSC 23.976p Wide, nothing else changed. I also tried exporting with Media Encoder, with the same results.
Video was shot with Canon DSLR and GoPro at 24p. Project is to 23.976fps. Video effects added in sequence are Warp Stabilizer, Lumetri looks, Brightness & Contrast, and Three-Way Color Corrector. I disabled all effects, exported with same settings as before, video was at the same shortened length, but the white and green coloring is gone.
Any ideas of why the video effects might be distorting the color? And why the time is dropping from 25:18 to 18:05?

Any luck getting the green and white lines corrected? We broadcast on a local cable channel and our inserter requires MPEG-2 format. When we export in MPEG-2 format from Premier Pro though we get the green and white lines when broadcasting. Right now we're having to export it in a different format, and then use a separate program to convert it to MPEG-2.

Unable to export to MPEG2-DVD! Very weird situation .. Please Help!

Hi Folks,
I've been using Pro for years.
Currently using CS6 - a fresh install from the cloud as of a couple days ago.
So, I have a project ready for DVD.
File / Export Media .. this brings up the Export Settings.
I choose MPEG2-DVD as the Format with Match Source Attributes as the Preset, then hit Queue.
Normally, this would queue the export in Adobe Media Encoder as .m2v but for some unexplicable reason - this isn't occuring.
Instead, Adobe Media Encoder drops the MPEG2-DVD format and replaces with the AAC Audio format!?
What the?
Am I losing the plot? Have I missed something?
File / Export Media / Format MPEG2-DVD = .aac file (only) in Adobe Media Encoder??

Thank you Ann.
Turns out I had missed an update for Adobe Media Encoder in the Adobe Application Manager.
I had installed the software yesterday and so I assumed I had the latest version. I was wrong.

Exporting as MPEG2 DVD or MPEG2 Blu-ray makes my clips shorter!?

Hi,
Firstly - I am shooting footage on a Panasonic HDC-HS300 using the 1080i 25 default setting, and importing the AVCHD file as such into Premiere Pro CS4 v.4.2.1.
My aim is to get the best image quality results possible using a workflow where I take the raw AVCHD footage (possibly converted to AVI first) into Premiere Pro, Dynamic Linking to After Effects for color correction etc, and Dynamic Linking back to Premiere Pro for final export/render in several different formats for several different purposes.
Anyway - Here's the problem:
I have been playing with different ways to do this (for MANY hours), and have found that whenever I attempt to export/render out from Premiere Pro with Adobe Media Encoder using either the MPEG2 DVD or MPEG2 Blu-ray (both using the default HDTV 1080i 25 settings), I end up with clips that are shorter than the original clips! For example, I have been editing a clip that was originally 56 seconds long, but after the export/render it is only 48 seconds long.
To make things even stranger, the accompanying audio file that is rendered out along side the MPEG video file not shortened and comes out as 56 seconds long, as it is supposed to be.
Someone please help....?
Thanks
Mikkel
P.S. If I were to convert the AVCHD to an AVI format, which would be the best applications and formats to do so?

Firstly - The reason for converting AVCHD to AVI is because despite Adobe claiming that CS4 is native AVCHD, the reality is that if I import AVCHD and edit it in Premiere Pro, color correct in After Effects and then render it out from Premiere Pro, I end up with either very significant judder or artifacts in the final result. I stress that this only happens when the input into Premiere Pro is AVCHD, NOT when I use converted (lossless - Lagarith) AVI as my input. In other words, it DOES serve a purpose to convert AVCHD to AVI first.
Secondly - I am NOT using 29.97 or 30 fps.
I am exporting in MPEG2 HDTV 1080i25 (i.e. 25 fps, which is the only available option for this preset), as I wrote in my original post...

CS3-mpeg2-dvd export files

Hi, and thanks for your help on this..
I just exported from media encoder , cs3, a 90 sec clip of graphics and sound from a project that is set up for avi type 2 dv ntsc 720x480i, lower field first to mpeg2 dvd high quality, dolby... I changed the dolby to pcm and went from quality 4 to 5, and left the bitrate defaults..
It generated 4 files....with these extensions:
m2v
m2v.xmpses
wav
xmp
When I double click the m2v file media classic opens the file and plays it, and it looks great and the sound is good.
When I drop the m2v file into gspot it says it is a video file ( no audio ).
I'm going to burn a DVD eventually and am new at this ....so I am not really used to the file types that DVD authoring programs require for the BEST dvd quality....and am wondering....how are those files linked ( wav and m2v ) ...through which other file generated, and is it normal to expect a DVD authoring program to recognize the video and sound files ( apparently demuxed during export ? ). Thanks !
Rod

Stan, thanks!
Thank God, the thing is acceptable on a normal TV.
The next one I do will have the chapters and scenes and stuff, so I'll find out more about those other file exports...the xmpses ? ...
My map graphic that I pan /zoom on is maxed out at 4000px for CS3, and I guess that's why I see the edges of the countries getting sawtoothed....not great...but like I said, acceptable...it gets way better as I Zoom in.....and the rest is just great....no problems with text and so on...
The sound is a bit loud though...I wonder if I should tell my brother who is giving me the sound stuff to keep to a certain db level for DVD authoring...it's no big deal, but it's kinda loud right now...
What a relief. I think I have at least half a chance now to make a decent edit for this friend of mine for his safari trip..
Bill Hunt has a grid he made for 4:3 and THAT worked perfect !.... I'm right where I thought I would be within TV safety...
If I play this now with a DTV (which I don't have) I bet that sawtooth stuff won't be so bad.....
All in all this has been a great day just from this success.... thanks a lot for your quick response, and I will keep all the files exported from the mpeg2 dvd setting to fine tune this later on ....as I get further along with the project.
Thanks
Rod
