Media Encoder - wrong size on AVI files

I have an 720 x 480 AVI video, and Media Encoder keeps importing it as 640 x 480. I don't see a setting or control for enforcing the right aspect ratio, and the Pixel Preview setting doesn't have an effect on the output. I've tried Resize Video to enforce the right dimensions but I still get black bars on the sides. Any suggestions?
I have the same video in MOV format, but Media Encoder won't recognize it even though I have QuickTime 5 installed. Do I need to upgrade to QT7?

The AVI file plays with the correct dimensions in Windows Media Player, and the Quicktime version also has the correct dimensions. I don't have Premiere Pro, and I'm using the version of AME that came with the Design Premium CS4 package.

Adobe Media Encoder won't take mov. files!?

My Adobe Media Encoder will not take mov. files! That should not be a problem, right? When I click the Add-button the mov. files is not listed up unless I choose to show all files. And when selecting the file, the program says the file could not be imported -_-
Probably a stupid newbie mistake, but can anyone tell me what it is?

Media Encoder output size vs. input size

I'm having trouble preserving the qualities of the source in the output
The source, imported into a .Prproj is:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 23.975fps [VideoHandler - MPEG4 Video (H264) (eng)]
Audio: AAC 44100Hz stereo 116kbps [SoundHandler - MPEG-4 Audio (eng)]
and about 25mins in runtime with an on-the-disk size of 1,269,xxx KB
the output result after saving .Prproj and importing that into Media Encoder CS5.5 then encoding:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 23.998fps [Mainconcept MP4 Video Media Handler - MPEG4 Video (H264) (eng)]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo 157kbps [Mainconcept MP4 Sound Media Handler - MPEG-4 Audio (eng)]
and about 8mins in runtime with an on-the-disk size of 1,322,xxx KB
the specs are close to identical, and from my mind, not different enough to cause a sequence roughly 1/3 of the original to end up being physically larger than the source.
All the other formats and presets don't (seem to) allow for anything close to the original specs. I found the dropdown for the audio to be set to 44100. I realize that's trivial to the data load <smirk>
I'm pretty ignorant to the effects other options can have -- and I presume that the options pre-selected by ME are grabbed from the source.
Am I wrong or is there anything I'm missing? another codec would help (the Mainconcept is a hog?)
If so can anyone direct me to one and the directions for having ME make it available?
thanks for any help you can offer!

The AVI file plays with the correct dimensions in Windows Media Player, and the Quicktime version also has the correct dimensions. I don't have Premiere Pro, and I'm using the version of AME that came with the Design Premium CS4 package.

CS4 Media Encoder batch jobs, and .avi ffdhshow

I have two distinct, but slightly related questions to ask.
First I should point out: I've used Premiere and After Effects for creative purposes before, but today I am using Adobe software for a more practical purpose: some engineering research work. Essentially, I have thousands of hours of video to process, I have all the firepower needed to perform it, I am currently limited by the ammount of time I am stuck clicking away at the computer.
Essentially my job right now is to convert and concatonate 1 minute segments into larger cohesive files. I say convert because the supplied files are encoded as .avi with an obscure proprietary surveillance video format (Mavix, for those of you familiar, doubt it though, even a google search won't bring up anything). It's okay, I have the VFW installed and so far I've been doing fine (if not slowly) pre-converting to NTSC DV default with AME CS4 and then importing into VDub (handy because of it's automatic file appending feature) at which point I compress with ffdshow (gave me the best performance considering quality, compression and processing perfromance). Vdub is also handy because I can take better advantage of multi-cores (8 per machine) by running Vdub jobs and AME jobs simultaneously. I am still amazed how mult-tasking on these machines gets me absolutly no performance hits.
Why is it that I am using AME? It seems to be the only thing that can decode these Mavix files (I've tried them all). And only a direct convert through AME... if I open it up in premiere first, then export it, the video glitches.
Question 1:
Right now, the biggest challenge is batch converting videos. I can drag up to 70-75 videos (regardless of hardware) into AME before it starts rejecting files. I would like for it to pre-process thousands of them at a time automatically. Any ideas how the queue size can be increased or how I can properly batch convert thousands of files at a time? Checking back at a computer every 20 minutes for a week is a real waist of time when I could leave it sit over the weekend in a corner and do it's thing.
Question 2:
I wanted to reuse the concatenated files that Vdub spat out (.avi ffdshow H.264 -> no comments please, I have a good reason for doing this) for some other work. I just want to know if it is possible to get Premiere to work from these files directly or if I have to reconvert them to somethign else first. So far, importing them yields black video.

Hi,
I have absolutely no experience with this...but as to question number 2... I did a google search on ---avi ffdshow h264 cs4 ----and found this info
As you probaby know a lot of people using premiere are adament about NOT loading codec packs, and in particular ffdshow and k-lite...but you probably know that or you might not have said " no comments please "....etc.
That said, there is a part of the following stuff that says something about using cs4 with ffdshow with h264 enabled in the video and something enabled in the sound.. and then the reference to K-lite...but that k-lite post was using ( at that point ) a different editor I think...so take this with a grain of salt and maybe check the ffdshow enabled setting so you can see your video in PP...
Good luck ....and I hope your computer doesnt explode or anything bad happens...which might mean a total reformat and reinstall etc...

For simple edits, you can use vdub (see above)
If you need a NLE, Vegas Pro 8 will work, if you have ffdshow (h.264 enabled) or x264vfw, but it won't see the audio. So you can open it in vdub and save the audio as wav then import into Vegas
Premiere Pro CS4 will work, but you need ffdshow (h.264 enabled in the video configuration and MSADPCM enabled in the audio configuration)
Cheers

Hi, I just bought a Creative Vado HD and I have 3 clips I just want to paste together.
I downloaded Virtualdub, downloaded x264vfw, downloaded ffdshow (h.264 enabled) and installed all three. I still can't open any of the Vado HD clips into Virtualdub. I get an error message. Is there another step I am missing?
Thanks in advance!

do you have this version installed?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/
if that doesn't work for you , enable h.264 in the ffdshow vfw decoder interface (yellow icon, not red icon), because vdub relies on vfw , not directshow ( ROBODOG2 NOTE ----GRAPHIC BELONGS HERE.....SEE BELOW )

@poisondeathray - yes that helped! thank you!!!
Now that I am able to "edit" my Creative Vado HD videos in Virtualdub, I notice something very strange. Each video clip is approx 30 seconds long. The total combined/merged clips should be approx 2:30 long. However, windows media player (as well as right clicking for properties) says the video is WAY longer than it should be (like 11 min long)!!!
Anyone else notice this? Is this a virtualdub mistake or human error on my part?

Did you do any editing or just append the clips? If you edited portions did you cut on keyframes?
Did you set "direct stream copy" for video & audio?
What do other media players (e.g. vlc, kmplayer, smplayer) and mediainfo say about the joined clip ?

Has anyone found a solution to this issue yet? I can't believe Creative would release a product like this with almost no 3rd-party support. I really wanted to get this camera, but this is a deal-breaker. I managed to get a few raw files from the Vado HD to test. They work fine just for playing in WMP, but I cannot edit the videos in any program I tried. Adobe Premiere CS4 doesn't work. You see the audio but no video. If you try to do basically anything it crashes. Sony Vegas 9 doesn't work either. Same deal, audio with no video. Same issue in VirtualDub. I have ffdshow installed and H.264 is enabled (libavcodec). Do I have any other options here?

Download and install K-Lite mega codec pack. The ffdshow configuration will be pretty streamlined so you likely won't have to screw around with it after the install.

Thanks Xpenguin17. I installed the K-lite mega pack and now I can import the Vado HD raw avi files into Premiere. So far everything looks good. Thanks a lot.

Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
Format: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
Quality: 100
1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
use maximum render quality
audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
Thanks for your help!

Hi matthewrichie88,
I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
Thanks!

Premiere and Media Encoder CC with Cineform(converted files have static for audio)

Hi there,
using Media Encoder CC to convert 7D and 5DMKIII video files to Cineform .avi and all I'm getting at the other end for audio is loud static. Video is fine but audio is corrupt. Anyone run into this with CC? I didn't have this problem before CC.

Do you have the same problem with other AVI codecs? What about non-AVI options?

Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails. Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.
Others are having a similar problem:

I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset. AME fails every time with the following message:
"Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error."
Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine. The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime. I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
Interesting.
Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

Media Encoder won't import AVI MotionJPEG footage

I am trying to convert an AVI video clip to FLV format using the stand alone Adobe Media Encoder that comes with CS4. The AVI clip in question uses the codec Motion JPEG and Adobe Media Encoder refuses to add the AVI to the encoder queue.
This clip is the first of many that are being shot in classrooms using Canon Ixus still cameras which encode their video using Motion JPEG. The video needs to be FLV in order to be embedded in Acrobat 9 Pro PDF's
Any help with this would be appreciated.

I may have found a reason, at least for my specific situation, although I do not know if this fits anyone elses situation. The video clips included in the After Effects project was an MOV file, created by a NewTek Tricaster video board setup. In fact, this affected all my Adobe products (well the video related ones that is) because I ran into a bunch of issues getting them into AE in the first place, with the same difficulties in getting them into Premiere. And the resulting project files (AE & Premiere) has huge issues getting into Media Encoder. It was all stemming from these MOV files themselves.
I had to download a NewTek codec to even begin using them in the first place, and even with the downloaded codec, they are still hugely problematic to work with. Unfortunately my company set up a great deal of time & money in setting these studios up, so I have to find a way to work with them.

Adobe Media Encoder won't open MPEG2 files

Hi All,
I'm hoping you can help me, I'm having some trouble with Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it won't open any MPEG2 files I throw at it.
They all open fine in Media Player Classic, MPC-HC and VideoLan, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas greatfully appreciated.
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium
AME CS4 4.2.0.006
WinXP 64

Jim Simon, one came from a creative production house and a couple came from a website that provides various videos in various formats for testing video players.
Thanks for the information Colin Brougham. Can any MPEG 2 importers/decoders be used?
I'm new to AME so perhaps I don't understand how it works entirely but on the AME information page on the Adobe website it says that MPEG2 files can be imported, and there is no mention of only being able to do so with certain Adobe products (unless I missed it).
However, if I can open and play MPEG2 Files in various media players, surely there is a way to use the decoders from those to work with AME?
All advice greatly appreciated.

Adobe Media Encoder bug with Cineform .avi

I encoded an HDV m2t file to Cineform intermediate in Sony Vegas. I added that file to Adobe Media Encoder's render cue. No matter what export format I choose, AME fails to recognize the source file's pixel aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and produces a horizontally squashed image.
Even the source window incorrectly shows the file as having a PAR of 1:1. Premiere Pro CS4 won't load the source file properly. I can import it into AE CS4. From there, I exported it to the same Cineform intermediate, and then it works fine in AME.
Why can't AME and Premiere Pro recognize the proper PAR in the Vegas-encoded Cineform file?

I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a "bug". The only thing at issue (if I understand correctly) is that AME is failing to recognize the PAR of the file. AFAIK, there is no "standard" for flagging PAR in AVI files (aside from DV footage, which can have simple boolean 16x9 flag).
Adobe has their RIFF headers -- but this is by no means a standard across the entire industry. There is no indication that your file contains any PAR information whatsoever.
If you open the file in Premiere, you should be able to right-click on the clip in the Project window, go to Interpret Footage and select the correct PAR of 1.333.
The problem is that the standalone version of AME does not have an "Interpret Footage" option to override PAR assumptions for AVI files, etc. that are added to queue. This is a good idea for a feature request for future versions of AME.

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.
Z.

Media Encoder CS4 No Error No File (Says It's Created, but It Isn't)

I have tried repeatedly today to encode an QuickTime container to P2 format, and while Adobe Media Encoder CS4 appears to load correctly, do the conversion, and confirm the file creation, I can not find the file that was supposed to be created.
There is no error message. Below is the transcript of the log from one attempt:

Only, no where on my computer is there the file “0001DI_1.MXF”. Not only have I looked in the Desktop folder where it is supposed to be. I have searched both hard drives on my computer for that file. This has happened repeatedly with variations of the output file name in the last hour or so.
I have rebooted the machine. I have run error-checking on the hard drive. Even though only log into my with my own account and no one else uses it, I have even created a text file with the same name, just in case the file that was created was there but hidden. I had no problem creating the text file in the directory where the output from Media Encoder is supposed to be.
My suite was fully patched when this was run (except I did install an upgrade to Adobe Reader after this problem occurred when I checked to make sure my software was current).
I used Media Encoder earlier in the day to create a P2 MXF file from the same source file earlier in the day, and have used it to create other output formats.
I am working on a Windows XP Professional machine.
Any ideas?

Quick postscript that may be relevant...
I converted the same file I’m having trouble with to WMV format. It worked fine, but the output file name I wanted to give it was long (more than 8 letters not counting the extension). The name of the file created by Media Encoder was only the first 8 letters plus the extension.
I had no problem manually renaming the file it’s full name (over 20 letters long). It seems Media Encoder couldn’t do that.
That still begs the question why it didn’t work when I tried to create an MXF file only one letter long. Here is the section of log where I tried to do that. As before, it says the file was created. I couldn’t find it.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 hangs when adding files of varying HD resolutions.

I've seen questions similar to this related to CS4 but never explained very well, and my CS4 for mac worked fine. I am unsure if this is a new problem or a windows specific problem but here is the situation, if you need more information I will gladly provide it.
For the past week or so I have been encoding 1920x1080i mov files (h.264/aac) to 1280x720p (vp6/mp3) flvs. When I stick to that single HD format in the AMC processing que everything works great. However, when I add older HD content into the AMC que, content with non-standard presets, the program hangs. I tried to import about 15 files last night and the program just sat there all night in a '...NOT RESPONDING' state. The video's have different audio and video settings and it's little difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were. Some are 1440x1080, some are 1280x900, some have PCM audio some of mp3.
Now I temporarily resolved this issue by simply using cs4 master on my mac pro which worked great. However I have noticed a huge speed increase in CS5 64bit AMC. It takes 2-3 hours to encode 1 flash video on my mac pro (dual quad core xeon 2.9Ghz/32GB ram) with CS4. It takes ~20 minutes on my windows 7 station (single core 2 quad 3Ghz/8GB ram) with CS5.
How to replicate:
If I drop a single file into the AMC CS5 que, regardless of the resolution, frame rate, or sound codec; it will import. If I then add another file with a different resolution AMC will hang and become non-responsive. It never crashed but I can't wait 12+ hours to see if it accepted a job or not. As I said before this problem was not observed on CS4 for mac - it worked flawlessly, albeit a little slow.
Software used:
Adobe Media Encoder CS5 windows 64bit
Adobe Media Encoder CS4 mac 32bit
System specs:
Windows 7 home:
Core 2 quad 3Ghz
8GB ram
80GB SSD x25-m
nVidia Quadro 580
OSX 10.6.3:
Dual Xeon 2.99Ghz
32GB ram
4 7200 disks in 4TB raid 0
Radeon HD 2600
Matrox MAX h.264 compressor card
Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time

Hi Michael,
Sorry to hear you're having problems with Adobe Media Encoder. I'd like to get some more information about the problem so I can better understand your workflow, and potentially try to recreate the problem. For what it's worth, I often import files of different resolutions without any problem, so I want to find out what's different about how you're using AME.
Apologies for the long list of questions; the small details can be important.
-- After you import the first file, what else do you do in AME? Change the preset? Change the settings? Change the output destination?
-- What are the properties of the files that are causing the problem? You said it happens on "non-standard" files, but can you describe the specifications for one or more files that cause the problem? Please include file type, length, frame rate, frame dimensions, field order (if applicable), alpha mode (if applicable), and audio type and rate. If you know more the bitrate, both video and audio, that would be nice, too.
-- If any of the files are small enough, could you post a couple online that I could try on my machine?
-- How were these files generated? What application created them?
-- Where are the files stored? A local drive, a network drive, a removeable drive (USB or Firewire), etc.?
-- Which Adobe application or suite do you have installed? AME a limited set of options if you're using Flash or Web Premium compared to Master Collection, Production Premium, Premiere Pro, or After Effects.

Adobe Media Encoder Doesn't recognize .prproj files

I am absolutely losing it here. I have read posts on various forums for hours, not only can I not find a solution, I can't find anyone who has this same problem. I'm running CS4 on a Mac and when I try to export from premiere, Adobe Media Encoder opens, then nothing happens. The file is never added to the queue, it just sits there. If I open Adobe Media Encoder manually then click add and try to select a premiere project, the file is grayed out. I changed the dropdown menu for file types to be "all types" and I click on a premiere file and it just pops up an error message saying the file cannot be imported. Same thing if I try to drag the file in. I can do absolutely nothing with AME.
I've seen plenty of people saying AME crashes midway through rendering or people saying they get an error saying to check if the source has been moved or deleted. I don't get any of that. I have nothing. It doesn't show up in the log or errors in any way.
The most annoying thing is that it used to work. I exported several files this way. I did not change any settings though, I even went and restored all the default settings. Still nothing. Its not just the one file, I've tried lots of different files, none work. I even reinstalled premiere, after effects, and AME and nothing changed.
I'm at a complete loss and I need to get work done and I wish I could post lots and lots of curse words here...

Hi,
I use CS3 on a PC so I've no experience with mac problems...
However, even if I had a mac I would ask you first a little more about your computer....
I have heard of memory chips going bad on a computer and suddenly that causes things not to work...but there's no sense just guessing...
Try to tell as much as you can about your computer and about the assets you are using.
Since it used to work and now it doesn't , can you think of anything you added or changed on the computer ?
Sometimes adding software or codec packs or hardware can sorta change things on your computer enough to make weird things happen...
Anyway, give as much info as you can
I think there's threads here about what sort of info would be best to supply if you don't know much about your computer ...
