Media Encoder CS4 stops encoding half way through

I am going a little bit insane.
Running PP and Media Encoder CS4 on Windows 7 and attempting to export a 5 minute film on preset 'Download NTSC Source' (but this happens no matter what settings I use): Media Encoder runs for approximately 5-6 minutes, loads the sequence, begins to encode and then stops.
It doesn't spit out an error message, it finishes the file (a 6MB .wmv file (on these settings) that plays a blip of white and then ends) but never gets further than four minutes through what should be a 35 minute encode process.
I've trashed the prefs, I've run all the updates, I'm using XP Compatibility mode ... I literally cannot figure out why the process should just ... stop.
Help??

Welcome to the forum!
Do you have any titles, graphics or MOV files near the beginning of your sequence?  I think there was a bug in CS4 that would trash the encode if they were there.  It was eventually solved -- either through an update or in CS5.  Make sure your copy of CS4 is fully updated.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 stops encoding!

    OS: Windows XP 32 bit SP3.
    Hello, I've been working with Premiere Pro CS4 and Media Encoder CS4 since 2008 and it always worked fine. Now i've got a big problem that I don't understand: Media Encoder CS4 stops encoding at about 10-12 seconds after the encoding starts.
    The curious thing is that the software really does not crash, it just stops encoding, the time counter freezes, but Media Encoder does not crash itself, you can add or delet video, edit preferences, etc.
    It doesn't matter what kind of video I try to encode, I've tried Premiere sequences but also independent video files. It always happens the same and I really don't know what to do.
    I have the latest versions of both software... can anybody please help me??

    That software and OS are both pretty old.  You may find there aren't too many people still using them to help on this one.

  • IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

    IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

    Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
    But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
    Cheers,

  • My 80 gig ipod color stops updating half way through

    My ipod 80 gig color stops updating half way through the synch process. I have tried to restore it and it still fails and gives me an error message saying it cannot read or wrtie to the ipod after it is half way loaded after trying to load 5000+ songs only it gets to about 2,250 and stops.

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
    I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
    But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
    Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
    You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s)  and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
    If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
    Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
    Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • Why do songs stop playing half way through?

    My husband downloaded a new playlist to his iphone, but many of the songs end half way through and then go on to the next song.  How can we fix this?

    Hi ktrib76,
    In my experience, the songs that are skipping may not have transferred over to your husband's iPhone correctly. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to the iPhone).
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from the iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • My nano just switches off and stops playing half way through a track

    Tried resetting several times ... still stops after approc a minute
    I switch it back on and press play and it continues right were it went on pause.
    Attempted to check if the MUSIC SETTINGS had some timeout ... but cant succeed.
    Any advice?

    Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
    Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
    Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
    Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

  • Nike Amp: stops connecting half way through workout

    I've been using the Nike Amp with my ipod for the past two months. It's a great piece of kit, and I've come to depend on it to change music, pause a workout when I need to wait for traffic etc. Now it loses it's connection to the ipod mid workout which is rather frustrating. Does anyone else have experience of this problem and any advice as to how I may resolve it? Thanks

    This happens to me in a roundabout way. I suspect the watch is just not a very good transmitter. I've had 3 watches replaced now and they all do the same thing.

  • Was watching a video I downloaded earlier today, and it worked fine. Tried watching it now and it stops about half way through. Solutions to this issue?

    This happened just today with the only two videos I downloaded from iTunes. They seemed to stop working after I synced my itouch, but I don't know how that would have caused the problem... Both videos will play about 2 minutes on the itouch, then stop.

    In case you do not know, to redownload videos you have to contact iTunes.

  • I bought an album but 3 of the songs stop playing half way through, it's just silence. Can I get a refund and if so, how?

    Recently, I bought the Adam Barnes album and I put it on my iPod. When I started listening to it and it was great. But when it got to track 4, it played the first minute and then it was just silence for the rest of the 3 and a half minutes song. It did this again for tracks 5 and 6 too, but the other tracks are fine. I checked my iTunes and it doesn't work on there too. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I get a refund? If so, how can I get one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
