Media Encoder will not Encode MPEG but creates XMP file

When I place an MPEG video file in my adobe media createor folder it automatically creates the same file name with an XMP extension with approx 4kb of data. However it will not encode the file and it will not show up in the Queue. Anyone know why?
Trying to convert to FLV - Web 512x288
Also is there a way to automatically remove the item from the queue once it has encoded. Our media encoder queue gets full of converted videos and then crashes.

When i try to add the file manually it says error decompressing. Is this just a corrupt file? Seems to be happening a lot.

Media encoder will not encode my project files

My CS4 Adobe Media Encoder will not start encodeing it goes any where from 0:04- 0:17 elapsed time then stopes and does nothing. I have also tried to update it t the latest version but the update wont install, I download it fine and it loads to where the green bars almost hit the end then they flash to 0% and work there wayback up faster and this is repeated continuously till I stop it. I am running a trial version of Adobe CS4 Master collection.

>I am running a trial version of Adobe
The trial version has file type (codec) limitations... and will only run for 30 days

CS4 media encoder will not load

I started having this problem on Saturday.
To begin with media encoder was not encoding properly, certain transitions were freezing in the final output.
Then it ceased to load altogether. I have rebooted, re-installed, gone back to a previous restore point (this crashed everything) and spent the best part of yesterday and today fixing it to the point where I am back to square one, despite a complete re-install.
When I load up media encoder either from premiere or standalone, it gets to the end of the splash screen and then comes up with this message "Adobe Media Encoder CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I am at my wits end as I need to be able to encode my current project desperately.
S'funny because I tried installing it on my laptop, which has a lot less memory and a slower processor than this machine, and it worked. Only trouble is that machine has not the power to run premiere so I am still stuck
I am attaching the log file it wants to send each time it crashes incase that means anything.

Your text file is still queued, so I can't see it, but even then it would be doubtful it would be any help to solve your problem. The not loading message is most likely caused by another process running in the background, an incompatible codec in your material and/or project or a driver issue. You need to be far more specific with lots of extra details if you want our help. Look in the WIKI under troubleshooting and try all the suggested steps. If that does not help, answer the 16 questions at the bottom to start with.

Need help certain mp4's will not encode in idvd

i am working on an idvd project. i have 5 mp4 files and two of them encode fine. the other three say they are done encoding as soon as they are dropped into the project even though no encoding is taking place. so when i go to burn the dvd it says there are encoding errors and cancels the process. all 5 files play fine in quicktime. and in the preview mode of the dvd. but for some reason will not encode. i have 25gb on hd so i know there is plenty room to encode. could someone help me resolve this issue.
thank you

Good morning...I too had the problem and tried what was suggested in here ie: going to library file then preference...blah blah blah. It might have work 4 others but not with me. I even called apple techs and gave me almost the same solution. The tech informed me to bring it back to the store...but I will have to pay since I do not have an Apple Protection Plan. I was almost tempted to bring my new 8mos old MacBook back to the store and was ready to buy the Protection plan for a whopping $250+ (good for 3yrs) or for a one shot deal(one service)of $50, until I got myself an idea and iDVD now working and encoding with ease.
Here is my suggestion:
1. Back up all the files that is important or you like to an external hard drive or time machine or burn your files as data on a cd/dvd or back them up in sd/usb etc as long as you will be able to recover those files.
2. Once you have backed them up...Insert the cd (you're supppose to have 2cds that came when u bought your Mac) that says Mac OS X install CD or I believe in the older version CD 1. Follow the instructions when u r prompted. Get your manual if u have to...YOU HAVE TO CHOSE ERASE (COMPLETELY) HARDDRIVE...that's is why it is a must to back up files firsts before doing this step. Be patient as your computer erased your hard disk completely and reinstalling it.
3. Once program reinstall follow the prompt messages. Mac will ask you basic infos...just fill them up. After that...insert the 2nd CD (Application CD - houses your iLife - in it are the iphoto imovie iDVD etc. Again, be patient!
And that's it....idvd should be up and running smoothly. I tested it myself and I am able to burn on dvd almost every file ie... .mov .mp4 .m4v etc. Some files has to be converted ex. avi file (Windows) to a format that Mac/iDVD will accept.
I hope this helps.
PS: Whenever you are burning movie, do this action alone (burning) as it takes a lot of power/energy on your MAC. Burn and leave it. I got into this mess because my Mac was burning movie and I was multi-tasking on my Mac. It's a big NO - NO.

IDVD will not encode audio

Hi,
Just as the topic says, iDVD will not encode the audio......well whats happening is that it says its in the process of encoding....the bar turns grey, and has the loading color wheel thing and thats basically whats happening. Its been doing this for the past hour. I have lots of ram and memory so i dont think thats a problem.....any solutions??
Thanks

This question is frequently asked!
iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so. This started with the latest update. I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86. It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try setting the startup option to off and then to on again. It looks to be pointing to a wrong location.
Attached is a partial screen shot of my msconfig setting.

VCast Media Manager Will Not Download Purchased MP3 Album to PC

VCast Media Manager Will Not Download Purchased MP3 Album to my PC, but has deducted the purchase from my account. Clicking Download Manager tab gives the message "Please sign into the store", even though I am logged in.
In the past when this problem occurs Loging out and Login In to the store has worked and started the download , but not this time. There is no tab on the Shopping Cart to Log out of Store. I have tried exiting and restarting VCast Media Manager and also rebooting the system. I am running VCast Version 1.5.0 Build 1652 which is reported as the latest. System is meets all requirements Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4 GB RAM, Sound Card and Video Card.
If I need to re-install VCast Media Manager how can the data be saved that determines I am owed a download?
Thanks.

I would call customer service and see if they can see an issue on their end...and at least make a note that you never received the download.

Windows media player will not work as no DVD driver

Had to format disk (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player will not work as no DVD Driver, can I download from Toshiba site?

Hi
Usually the Windows media Player is not able to play DVD movies IF no plug-ins were installed.
To watch DVD movies you can use the programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD.
Such programs were designed especially for the DVD playing!
But you can also visit the Microsoft website and search for plug-ins for Windows Media player.
Then you could download and install it to play DVD with WMP
Best regards

Media browser will not load iphoto

Hi
My pages media browser will not show my iphoto pics. It shows my files from garageband, but not iphoto. I tried dragging iphoto into the iwork folder and I also downloaded the ilife support 9.0.3 which was recommended in another post,but neither worked. I am able to drag photo folders, but not iphoto files.
Thanks for your help
Marcia

Hi Marcia
Welcome to the forum.
Have you moved or renamed any of the iLife or iWork suite? The whole workflow relies on being able to find all the files where they are supposed to be.
It is best to leave all of these alone.
You can not drag iPhoto (an application) into the Media Browser.
You can drag in folders of graphics and it will then browse those. Just be aware it is not actually holding any of the images, just providing links to where they are filed.

My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running...

Please help!! My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running when I press the power button to attempt to power it up. I just received a new power adapter because it wasn't working properly and it was doing this before and then it worked for a week and now it will not power up at all. It just starts the fan but nothing else turns on. When I plug the adapter, with the battery still connected, it will look as if it is charging but then the light on the plug turns from green to orange then off and doesn't power up at all. If I take the battery out and plug in the adapter, the light stays on but it does not power up except for the fan noise. Does anyone have any suggestions? I also followed the two articles listed online in regards to resetting the power setting and the command + alt + P + R as well. Nothing works. Thanks in advance.....

Same here. If I start up with the power adapter attached, it starts up fine. If I try to start up from battery only, the fan comes on, the sleep light comes on but nothing else happens. I tried letting it sit that way for about 15 minutes and nothing changed. I tried attaching the power cord while in this mode and nothing changed. I tried the PMU reset a couple of times but nothing helps.
This computer is just over 1 year old and I have not had any problems with the power cord (3rd party), the battery, or any problem like this before. It started after a proper shutdown last night and attempt to start without the power cord this afternoon.
Any answers to this yet? I think I'll call on this and report any success to this discussion.

The backlight on my ipod touch 3rd generation will not come on, but everything works perfectly. I even used the advice given on the tech support page, and it still will not come on. HELP ME PLEASE.

The backlight on my ipod touch 3rd generation will not come on, but everything else is working fine I even took the tech support advice by plugging it in and resetting it, but that didn't fix the issue either. I need help.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
