Media Encoder, yes I know its been covered b4 but still doesn't work

I'm having the typical
"Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source" and I've tried the things explained here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407106.html. The catch is, this is a brand new install of Adobe Production Suite on a brand new computer. It was working perfectly fine for about a month or so, but then one day, nothing. No updates were run and no new software installed. I've a few other things that some members have posted but still nothing works. Very frustrating because I do this for work and have deadlines. Any one have any ideas. The only thing I can think that it could possibly be is that I upgraded to Flash 10 about a week b4 the problems started occurring. Otherwise, it doesn't work on files that have been moved around a little bit but "relocated" when asked where the files are, but it also doesn't work on files that have stayed put the whole time.

Details...hmm... all of the adobe products have been updated to the 4.2.something, whatever is the newest version. Lets see... i7 920 w/ 12GB ram, 3HDD (1 scratch, 1 OS, 1 data). Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit (no available updates).
Some details of the problem... I was using handbrake to rip some marketing material and was able to edit them in PPro, but as soon as I tried to encode them, that when the problems started, I assumed that it was because of the file format that I encoded with in handbrake. Anyways, I had to edit the video in Windows Movie Maker, then took the WMV and dropped it into Media Encoder and was able to encode to the proper media format then. Anyways, I got the side project done, then went back to my projects. I edit interviews on the green screen, encode alpha channel, and throw them up on websites. So I did my normal stuff, but now when I encode, or try, I always get the error from media encoder listed below.
- Source File: C:\Users\djensen\AppData\Local\Temp\Mike Ponce.prproj
- Output File: C:\Users\djensen\Desktop\MPonce_return.flv
- Preset Used: WorkPreset
- Video:

- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:42:41
11/23/2009 1:35:25 PM : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
I had moved the first video I tried editing after the side project, but any videos that were in their place before all this happened are getting the same error.
That's all the details that I can think of. Thanks for direction Harm, sometimes when you're stressed we forget the most important things eh?

Time machine full (yes, I know its been posted before but I have no answer)

I have a macbook with 80GBhd, my time machine drive is a USB 80GB drive. I have 15GB free on my local machine and TM has 6.67.
So its telling me that it needs 10.4GB to complete its backup.... and is no longer backing my drive up. I want to say "Hey, Time Machine, go ahead and delete some of my older backups, its cool, I get it."
But that just isn't an option. What am I supposed to do? Go out and get a NAS device? Maybe a couple of TB would be enough to satisfy time machine?
Thanks

I see. I have a 120GB, I'll use it in its place. How then, do I move my current backup to my new backup drive? Can I just copy it?
And, wow, TM *****. You would think that it could make the best of what is available. Fine, I don't have enough room to go back a few days, maybe when my drive is full, I can only go back 1 day.
Brian, I've used Carbon Copy Cloner for years [http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.htm]
It's 'Donationware' - and worth a donation, it transparently uses Terminal/UNIX commands to do its stuff, has lots of lovely simple options- including the optional creation of a well-compressed but OS bog-standard SPARSEIMAGE disk image file of your Volume, supports the iPod:iTunes synchronization, will do fast block-level disk-to-disk clones etc. etc. and has UNIX-stndard syncing built in .. thru RSYNC...
The amazing thing about the SPARSEIMAGE format (well, amazing until you understand the 'why') is that it can very easily turn 120 gig into 90 : and the bulk of the reason turns out to be one of the 'usuals': allocation blocks.. as you no doubt know, the Mac - like all computers allocates space for file in minimum units: Blocks.. - a bit like writing a book but having to write it 10 pages at a time and having to actually use the ten pages... so, if the block size if 4 K (usually is on a Mac), eenif you only WRITE 500 bytes, the file will be allocated about 4k.. wasting 3.5KB (get info on a small file to see this: it'll say something like 4KB on Disk (512 bytes)).
On most systems but particularly with the Mac OS, you can have a LOT of small files (most of them are hidden from view inside other things - like, say applications which are really a special kind of directory or folder(show contents & browse about).. also prefs /plist files, small READMEs...) On a reasonable size disk it's not all that unusual to have 4 or 500,000 files. In 'Native format, 100 of those 500Byte files will take up 400KB. On a sparseimage (or in a zip or similar) the same 100 files will take 1/8th the space.
Hard to get better ,...

I know its been over done, but benchmark help please!!!!!

hi all,
we are running a 2.5g G5 with 8gb of ram, i was wondering if a base model macbook will keep up, as im about to order one.
does anyone know if there is a clear answer to this? and also how many audio trakcs can i get out of the internal 5400rpm hard drive, also if i get an external fw400 will it compaire to the G5. i would just really like to know how well the macbook pro runs as a standard stock model, battery life, power, and general performance.
thanks for your time

Have you already looked at the benchmark threads?

I know its been asked before, but really, where is the restore button????!!

OK clever people... lets get this straight:
I start up itunes (updated, downloaded this morning)
I plug in ipod
Then i click on my ipod in the source list
I then see all my music appear in a long greyed out list
AND, where is the summary tab? What is the SUMMARY TAB?
Where is the restore button? It is NOT there.
Really!
Can someone screen dump me itunes with the restore button present, so i can actually see that it does exist?!?!?!!?
Dazed and Confused
(but still love my ipod!!!!)

I have iTunes 6.0.5 and I have the iPod updater on the Start menu under iPod.
Start>iPod>iPod Updater
Presumably intalled with the iTunes software?

I know this has been asked before, but still can't work out how to merge a split album

I've read all the guidance, but can't even find the buttons to push!
I am using the latest itunes for windows
Thanks,

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

I tunes wont start up(yes i know its common =.=)

yes i know its common but for me, i uninstalled bonjour and the application still does not start up. The same problem occurs like for most cases where itunes appeared on my task manager and then disappeared. help...

many thanks.
On a Windows 7 system, that suggests some application has stashed old QuickTime version 6.x componentry down in the system folders on the PC. (The ACE Mega Codec Pack and WinAVI Converter are the usual suspects with that.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Something has gone wrong. Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

Water damage is totally unpredictable. If it was salt water the phone is definitely dead. If it was not you MAY be able to recover it by putting it in a sealed plastic bag full of uncooked plain rice (not quick cooking or "converted") for at least a week without attempting to turn it on. Better yet, if you can get silica gel easily that works better than rice. If you have tried to turn it on it may be too late for this.

You iPod has been jail broken. Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
Good luck...you're gonna need it....

Ordered this guide ... opened it up and nothing. Pages are blank. I paid .99cents for this. I know its not much. But if there is a lot of people buying this app. it tends to be quite a bit of an amount. Please check into this matter and reimburse the amount back to my account.

Well, of course a rescue address which is the same as the main address (which doesn't work) isn't a lot of use.
