Media Encoder CS4 does not work

CS4 Windows 7 Media Encoder does not work!?
From PremierePro to the Encoder (fullHD to MPEG2)
The encoder is very slow and stops after time.
And I see that the encoder try to make a .mpg file but it also makes .m2v and .mpa. in the same time?
What to do???

You'll have better luck asking such questions in the Premiere and AME forums.... Could simply be running out of temp disk space or a problem with teh Media Cache.... anyway, ask the pros...

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

Oh hai!
I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
Encoding failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
   I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations
•C:\Program Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\ProgramData\Adobe
d-removed these links from registry file
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software
result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
result :
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

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

Premiere CS4 & Media Encoder CS4 didn't work..

i just install Premiere Pro CS4 & Media Encoder CS4..
i finished editing my videos in Premiere, but when i want to encode it in Media Encoder, it says "please verify that adobe premiere is installed in your computer"..
what should i do?
tnx..

Welcome to the forum.
Do you have the full-paid version, or the trial?
It sounds like your installation is not complete, or has become corrupted. This is a general CHECKLIST for installing most Adobe programs. Look over it, to see if perhaps you missed something.
If you did everything in the checklist, then I would attempt a Repair Install. Did you install from media, or from a download?
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 will not convert .mov video

Hello,
I have Adobe Media Encoder CS4 installed on my computer and I'm trying to convert a .mov video into a format that can be edited on windows movie maker and when I convert the video it converts the audio just fine, but there is only a black screen. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?
Thanks in advance.

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.
Bruce B.

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.

Since new update - Adobe Media Encoder and CUDA not working

CUDA not launching - Premier CC says that only software will work. Media encoder crashes on launch. Re-installed both.
Nvidia 670 GTX

What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
Premier Version 7.2.2 (33)
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Problem started after I installed the software updated
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Windows 7 Ultimate - SP1
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
REDCODE .r3d from R1 - RedCode 28
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Adobe Media Encoder Has Crashed - please contact your system administrator. This graphics card is not supported, CUDA disabled.
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Booting premier pro, opening a new project, when trying to render using the encoder
Has this ever worked before?
Yes worked fine before 7.2.2 update
What other software are you running?
Chrome, Media Player
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
RED Giant Universe is installed
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
i7 3930k 12 Core, Nvidia 670 GTX 4GB, 32GB Corsair 1866 RAM, RAID HDD
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
YES - Nvidia 670GTX video card
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Problem Occurs when rendering the final output for the Medi Encoder and the GPU issue when I open a new project that used to use Mercury
I also cannot seem to find the file within Premier Pro for "supported Cards" - I had this issue before and I just added my card to this list, this list seems to be missing.
Thank you.

Help... Media Encoder CS4 isn't working...

Ok... I am just fed up with Adobe Premiere CS4. I have had it for two years, and it is just problem after problem after problem. I'm currently working on an important project. First, I finished the project, and went to load it, and it wouldn't load past 95%... so I had to recreate over half of my hours of work. Now... when I go to export my project, it goes into Media Encoder, and never exports. It gets stuck on the "waiting" command, and never goes. I even left it over night, and nothing happened. I am extremely frustrated with this software... it is full of problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I highly doubt my specs are the issue... but here they are...
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz 2.67 GHz
9.00 GM RAM
32-bit Operating System

A 32-bit OS will only ever use up to 4 GB RAM. So you're handicapping yourself there. Plus, Vista 32-bit is probably right behind Windows ME for worst Microsoft OS ever.
Nice CPU though.
For the AME issue, how long do you wait? With page file swapping likely, it may take an unusually long time for the encoding to get started. And if the memory requirements for what you are trying to do exceed 4 GB (including swap file space), then you won't be able to get any output from the AME at all.

Media controls keys does not work on iTunes?

My keyboard has those "Media Controls Keys" on it (just like Play or Stop etc.) but it won't work with iTunes, unless iTunes is on the front of all windows. I used to use Windows Media Player and it can work with the Media Controls Keys even the player is minimised. Are there any ways simply changing settings with iTunes and solve the problem?

Hello,
I don't have a W541 myself, but here are a few things to check, in no particular order:
Have you checked with your IT department? Maybe they set a poilicy to disable the card reader.
Is the card reader correctly enabled in the UEFI firmware?
Have you run ThinkVantage System Update and Microsoft Update to confirm all of the various Lenovo and Microsoft updates are installed?
Do you still have the OS image the device originally shipped with? If so, does the card reader work under that?

Media Card Reader does not work on W541 (is O2Micro, not the RealTek)

Can not read an SD card on my W541. It reads fine on a W530. Reviewed the ReadMe, and tried to find the driver in the WIndows "Device Manager" but no luck.Experimented and found that if I did the following:Brought up Device ManagerUnder "View" menu, chose "Devices by Type" (this should really be in the instructions, although perhaps not necessary).Under "Action" menu, chose "Scan for hardware changes"found that the node labelled "Storage Controller" finally appeared (towards the bottom, just above "Storage Volumes") There was one entry under the node, that of "ByHubTech/O2Micr Integrated MMC/SD controller". The icon preceding this entry had a yellow triangle, so at least the system detected something was wrong. Right clicked on the entry and chose "Properties" and resulting dialog had the following text in the "Device Status" area (on the "General" tab): This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.
(Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. I have no idea what "resources" are being referred to in the message (a case of "I've got a secret"?), so it is a little hard for me to understand what other devices I might want to free up.

Premiere Pro to Media Encoder to .MP4 not working? Please help

I'm trying to export my Premiere pro project to my iphone .MP4 . I just did it last night for the first time, went to the encoder. Today I think I did everything the same but the .MP4 won't sync to my iphone. Then, I tried it again and now it's exporting two files, one being a .AAC file and the other file has varied. .m4v and .m4v.md0. I just want to export to .m4v, I didn't think it would be this complicated, especially when it worked flawlessly last night. Any insight will be appreciated.

Hi Andrew,
Which preset did you use?
Thanks,
Kevin

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 problem

I having a ***** at Adobe
I do have a lienced copoy CS4 Design Premium. I down loaded premier pro CS4 to demo it about 8 months ago and had not used it up to about 1 weeks ago. All that time Adobe Media Encoder CS4 did not work. I came back to the problem last week when I wanted to convert a video to a FLV file, did not work, I went through uninstalling and reinstalling Design Premium: reloaded parts of the the suite still did not work: went to the forums and tried every which way to get resolution nothing worked. This morning I opened up Premier and it world not open without serial key I was only a week into the 30 trial period. So I uninstalled premier. Reloaded the Media Encoder and guess what it worked. I am know looking at buying another product. Another thing while using the trial version I could not demo encore CS4.
****** off
PS I have now uploaded the FLV to my website. I never had any problem with AME CS4 until I loaded Premier CS4

These directions are specifically for windows 7 x64
It may be hidden since it's a system folder. You can get to it one of two ways.
Either: Hit start button + r to get run, then insert (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\) without the () and press enter. *This is assuming that your username is Administrator. If the folder exists it will take you there, even if it is hidden.
Other way: hit start button on keyboard and type in "folder options". Press enter when it shows up in the start menu search. Click on the View tab then select "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". This should enable you to see both the AppData and Roaming folder. You may want to undo these selections otherwise you'll see files you usually don't want to see. (thumbnail caches...)
If neither of these methods work, let me know which folders you see in this directory "C:\Users", Administrator may not the account you're currently running on.

N900 Media Player and Camera not working

Hello,
I am having some problems with my phone which I think might be related to gstreamer.
When I open the camera cover and the camera tries to launch I get the error message "Operation failed". Media player also does not work, I can see the media files but when I try playing them nothing happens.
I used gstreamer to capture images for an application that I created and it has always worked fine until recently, when I started noticing the problems with the camera and media player.
Between the time everything was working and now, this is what I have done:
-installed OpenGL ES 2
-installed Qt
-copied a bunch of screenshots from the phone to my Mac (i think I just did it through bluetooth but I might have used the usb cable)
Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:
-connect the phone via usb to a windows computer, rightclick the n900 icon and error check (as recommended on this forum)
-update the firmware using app manager
-reboot
-type dmesg in the terminal after opening the lens cover - that did not output any errors
Could this be related to anything other than the gstreamer? If it is the gstreamer, should I try reinstalling it?
Any help would be appreciated
Best,
Eyrun

Thanks. The reason why I haven't done that yet is that the gstreamer libraries came with the phone as I got it and I am not sure what needs to be installed. It seems like there are many plugins and something called totem-gstreamer that I might need additionally. Do you know of any good references for how this should be done for N900? I haven't been able to find one. Also, I do think it is a little bit strange that all of a sudden gstreamer would stop working, that's why I wonder if it could be something else?
Best,
Eyrun

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?
