Media encoder CS4 can't do what Flash Encoder CS3 does????

Quad 2.66 Xeon MacPro / OS 10.5.8 / CS4 all updates applied. / 24GB RAM
Adobe Media Encoder CS4 won't import .wmv videos.
Flash CS3 Media Encoder does it just fine.
What's the deal? Why remove the support?
I do have Flip4Mac installed as well as Perian. Any chance these items allow the CS3 encoder to work, but not the CS4?

Can't Activate Flash Media Encoder CS3

I just had a new hard drive installed on my Windows XP SP3, 4 GB RAM, 2 dual core Intel processors machine. I reinstalled Production Premium CS3. All of my Adobe applications activated except Flash Media Encoder CS3. When I enter my serial number, it says it is an incorrect number and places a big red X beside of the number. The number I entered is the number on the box.
I called Technical Support and held for them for over 1 1/2 hours but no one came on to answer my question. I entered the problem in the Support Portal but it has been over 24 hours and no one has contacted me. I like Adobe software but not their technical support.
Can anyone in the Forum help?
Thanks,
Linda

I've tried it (with cookies cleared) on three different browsers now and they all experience the same problem. I am on OS X but that should not affect my ability to connect to a particular server. Here, for example, is a non-functional download link I'm given: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashmediaserver/flashmedialiveencoder/installer/AdobeF MLE3.2.1_r.dmg

How do I reinstall missing Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

I need some help here ??
When attempting to encode on Vista from Premiere 3.2 the Adobe Media Encode (AME) just goes off and hangs.
Looked for the error log which lives at
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt
Make sure you have view hidden files turned on to look for this file..
Ok the folder "Adobe Media Encoder" is not on my machine... It looks like the installation is FUBAR.
I check CS3 Master Collection distribution - I don't see a module for Adobe Media Encoder to reinstall.
So my question is . How do I reinstall the "Adobe Media Encoder" for the CS3 collection ?
Anybody have a clue as how to do this ?
How do I reinstall the Adobe Media Encoder CS3 ?

Mr Hunt...
I my view you're a wizzard with statute more than Merlin...
Here's what I found. Last time I shut down ProPre I was on a dual monitor.
I tossed my laptop in the car went to 2nd location.
Re-configured laptop for single monitor mode.
Upon starting up ProPre hammered encoding and the resulting screen opened ...... which I could not see.
PrePro DOES NOT sense hardware.... Dhaaaaaaaaa
Its stays stuck in dual monitor mode !!!!!
You need a second monitor to unstick it !!!!!
I was unable to set it back to single mode without the 2nd monitor !!!
Yahhoooo !!!! Its working again !!!!!

H264 progressive / buffering problem - Media Encoder CS3

I am exporting using adobe media encoder CS3 with the following settings:-
Format: h264
Video codec: MainConcept H.264 Video
Frame height/width 640 x 360
Frame rate 25fb
Fields order - None (Progressive)
Pixel aspect ratio: Square pixels
Profile:High
Level:4.1
Audio:ACC, 128 (Kbps), 48Khz, Stereo
Bitrate settings:VBR, 2 Pass, Target 2.00, Max 4.00 (Mbps)
Stream compatability:psp
The files are being played on the web via the Akamai player via HTTP progressive download.
When the file is initally loaded it buffers the WHOLE file instead starting automatically - obviously this is is not acceptable when playing long files - having to wait for the whole file to buffer before it starts playing. I have used free MediaCoder to produce H264 and not had this problem - but to do this i have to export and intermediate avi file from premier and then encode again - however i am not so pleased with the encoding quality and would prefer not to have this extra step in the process.
I have found this fix someone has made to correct the files once exported from Adobe Media Encoder CS3 - 'QTIndexSwapper2' - this works well - files play and start with continuous buffering - but again its an extra step (i have a lot of file to export - just want to export with Adobe media encoder direct to web using the built in FTP function)
Please could someone advise on the correct setting for exporting from Adobe Media Encoder CS3 - so that file start immediatly on loading instaed of buffering the whole file.
Many thanks indvance

Hi,
Thanks for posting that link...some interesting points and comments at the end...re: quicktime "save as" and streamclip ( free ).
I don't do what you're doing ... though I've noticed if I put samples of video for web on my website for people to check out they always DL fully before playing...so I usually tell people to just save to disk first and then play the video...
Anything I uploaded to YouTube gets converted by them and plays right away and beyond that I've had no need to get into this subject.
Good Luck and if you find out more useful info let me know...others could benefit later from your solutions.

Media Encoder CS6 does not always "Use Previews"

I've attempted several transcodes using pre-rendered timelines in Premiere Pro. Media encoder does not always use the preview files despite the appropriate box being checked. Any suggestions what I can look for? I don't see that I am doing anything different between the times it works and the times it doesn't.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

When I export the the F4V to a MOV with Media encoder, why does it loose all of the animation sync?

I need to turn the F4V file that Captivate outputs into a quicktime movie. However when I use media encoder (i also tried it with premeire), The final product is all messed up. The audio plays back in real time, but the video simply runs through the animations one after another, until they end, and then the mov cuts off abruptly. What is going on? How can I turn the f4v into a quictime movie?

If you sync an iPod automatically with an iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with the contents of the iTunes library.
Apparently, you had music on your iPod that didn't exist in your iTunes library. iTunes did exactly what it said it was going to do (remember that warning you didn't bother to read?)... it replaced the contents of your iPod (your music) with the contents of the iTunes library (your videos).
I'm sorry you lost your music, but this is how it has always worked.
Cheers!

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.I have tried different speeds but every time it ays failed due to media write error.Can anyone help what to do?

I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.Every time it says failed due to media write error.I have tried different speeds.Can anyone help pls?

There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

The way I read the last one is:
a) I have 164Mb in my New (Eden?) section.
b) I have 349Mb virtually allocated for my Tenured, and it expanded from 231426 to 242666
c) All said, I collected ~153MB during that sweep.
My understanding is that when the heap is GC'd, it copies the objects from the Eden and the first survivor space to the second survivor space, but anything that doesn't fit in the second survivor space gets dumped into the Tenured space.
At the end of the GC, the Eden space should have only a survivor space filled with data, the Eden is empty, the other survivor is empty (and ready for the next GC), and any excess is in the Tenured.
Ideally, you continue this cycle until Tenured fills up, at which point a deeper, "full" GC is triggered, cleaning out Tenured. At the end of a Full GC, you should have one Survivor space filled with data, an empty Eden, the other Surivior empty, and the Tenured area ideally reduced.
If the ratio of free space in Tenured is too low, the GC expands the Tenured space in anticipation of Next time.
Is this correct?
So, my question here is why am I never seeing simply the basic Eden GCs, rather it's always GCing Tenured? Would playing with the ratios help here? It's production, so I can't bounce the machine willy nilly play with parameters, and unfortunately I haven't found a good way to duplicate the behavior on my workstation.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the Dropbox app is capable of playing some media.

Can someone explain what the application "iDvd" does or work?

I want to learn to use the application called iDvd but not exactly sure what exactly is it used for? Can it be used to decorate dvds with special design stickers like the covers on dvd movies?

Hi.
iDVD allows you to create a Hollywood-style DVD that can contain personal and home videos and slideshows. The DVD can be played in any DVD player and can include motion menus and music, just as the DVDs released by the major labels.
Take a look at this... Apple Support - iDVD
Helpful?

My question is while im playing farmville my screen comes up as unresponsive script. It does this quite often. I finally updated all my plugins I think so can you see what else im not doing. Thanks for your help

I keep getting will playing farmville screen comes up as an unresponsive script. I think I finally updated all my plugins. I would appreciate your help.

Hello zia200z:
Goto Trend.com and run a full scan using house call its free. Then please install virus protection unless you love replacing hard drives and memory chips. You have a bad malware or virus on your computer that is causing these issues. You can pick up from any where especially from game sites and you tube sites. Ounce your system is clean then we be able to help you repair damages. Go from there. I hope D. drive has not been damaged yet. Recovery is easy to do. Provided D drive was not effected. What I would do is purchase two things a very good anti virus software such as Trend Micro Titanium Pro. Farely in expensive and a set of recovery disks from HP. Then just insert recovery disks and install anti virus software. These computers are excellent and are easley maintainable. I know Trend Titanium Pro can scan your back up files from this effected computer when you add these files back on again. I would start backing up my personal filed while you wait for delivery of recovery factory recovery disc. Yes it is easy to do recoveries but I think your D. drive has been damaged based on what you wrote. That is why I recommend you purchasing a set recovery disc.

How can I check what kind of values does transport request saves?

Dear All,
I have changed the max.foregin exchange rate from 1% to 0% in company code global data and added a new error message 212 in work area F5. Then I transport it to QA system and PRD system.
However in T001 table change log PRD, the address was said to be changed from a number to another number also. But I don't remember that I changed the address of a company code. And I was not able to find the value before and after the change. Do you know where I can find the address of the company code? I have tried to get address in company code global data but in the poped dialog neither of the values are found. It is strange that the addresses of other company codes in T001 are not changed.
And in the transport request, the new number was not included. I don't very understand what kind of information was included but I know I did not change other config of the company codes.
I have 2 questions
1. Where I can find the address of a company code?
2. How to see what information has been included in the transport request?
Thank you in advance.
Emma

Hi Emma,
How to see what information has been included in the transport request?
Go to transaction code SE10 and identify your transport request then double click the left side you will be get tree.
if you want you can doubleclick the tree again so that you can identify which configuration step you saved.
Hope it is useful.
Thanks,
Haribabu

Watch Folder in Adobe Media Encoder CS3

Hello,
We are currently working on a project to automate some video encoding. Files uploaded to a server should get automatically converted into a specific format. (Unfortunately) we only have the CS3 to work with.
We couldn't find the "watch folder function" (like in CS5, CS6) in the CS3 AME (since it is not even an own application, but built into Premiere/AE?). Does this AME version even support the function? Is there any other way we could solve the problem?
Thanks in advance,
- Marc

This functionality is not in the CS3 version of the application.

Adobe Media Encoder - CS3

In general, which encoding method would provide the least compression, highest quality?

OK, uncompressed or Lagarith or HuffYuv, depending on storage capacity and disk speed. Likely Lagarith is your best option.

Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

Hello,
I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
- Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
- Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
- Encoding Time: 00:06:36
5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem. I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file. I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder. A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere. Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
Could use some advice here.
Glen
P.S. the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place. We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
WME is capturing at the following specs:
160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
29.97 fps
640x360 resolution
buffer size: 5 seconds
key frame interval: 8 seconds
I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
AME is encoding with the following specs:
FLV Multiplexing
On2 VP6 codec
620x360 resolution
800kbps 2 pass VBR
100% undershoot at best quality
160kbps stereo MP3 audio
I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
Yes, these are our source assets. They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know. I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
Thanks,
Peter
