More Media Mgr Madness (semi-long non-rant)

I have a 2 minute DV project that contains six nested sequences.
Each of the nests is 12 seconds.
The upstream nests themselves are a bit longer, 30 seconds, but each is marked with in and out points.
The nests are complicated sequences but they are edited and rendered. (I have not exported reference copies of the nests because that completely destroys the ability to make upstream changes.)
The entire project has about 20 gigs of source media but the finished 2-minute piece points directly to less than 1 gig of trimmed media, including the AE and Motion Animation media.
I want to use Media Mgr to make a protection copy of the media used by this project. I want to only copy the actual, trimmed media in use. No matter what I do with MM, the copy is more than 10 gigs. The MM folder contains every complete piece of media included in all of the nests. There are even several clips that are not used anywhere. They are older versions of AE and Motion clips that have been revised and replaced but they still are seen by MM.
I have tried setting up MM in every way I can imagine, And I've been at this for a couple of days. I end up merely and meekly accepting the obese copy.
Rhetorical Question: "Is there no way to get what I want out of MM?"

David,
Like Brian, I don't use MM very much. I've been lucky with my limited use, probably because I have avoided using it whenever I have speed changes or nests, which of course is most of the time. <grin> <sigh>
I have a sledgehammer back up stategy, which you will probably hate, and probably already thought of while gritting your teeth and staring at the ten GB figure in MM.
Duplicate your two minute piece.
Delete the transitions on your duplicate.
Trim each transition, adding handles of whatever length you want to the front and back of each clip or nest.
Export the result as a self-contained Quicktime.
As I said, it is the sledgehammer approach. Its only merits are that it will do what you need and avoid the MM.

Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620 with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
to .mov Prores 422HQ 1080P                         22 Minutes
to .mov H.264 1080P                    22 Minutes
to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100% (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
to .mov Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
to .mov H.264 1080P                                                             14 Minutes
to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
Since I am going to DVD, I chose the fastest option Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

Hi,
Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
long file export.
But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
- clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
- delete all render files with Preview Files,
- rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
- PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
I tested :
- Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
which are not very easy to use.
And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
escalate the bug.

Sounds as though you have a slow internet connection.
Check on a computer at speedtest.net.
For near instant playback, you need:
2.5 Mbps for SD
6 Mbps for 720p HD
8 Mbps for 1080p HD
Any slower for a given quality and it has to buffer in order to playback without interruption.
The buffering could be minutes or hours depending on how much of teh movie has to buffer.

You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

HP Media Center M800y, System # GG755AV#ABA, Windows Vista Ultimate, Desktop will not complete boot sequence as the Blue & white HP screen which doesn't always appear, will give options to either
a).Press F10 to enter setup or,
b). to press f11 to start recovery partition in hard drive that doesn't work when tried.
Can enter setup when blue & white HP screen appears but do not know what to look for when inside.
If I pick none of the 2 options, the screen just turns black with a horizontal line "-" blinking at the upper left hand corner of the screen. Sometimes the screen will not even show the blue & white HP screen and it just stays black.
I changed the CMOS battery and nothing happened except that now the blue & white HP screen with the 2 options appears even less when I attempt to start up... I also tried using the recovery disks to no avail...
A power surge knocked out the power in my building and the computer suddenly stopped working while streaming netflix video afterwards... Then when attempting to re-boot once power was restored, The screen showed some very wierd, almost alien fonts on the top of the black screen that almost resembled Chinese or hyrogliphics. Upon further attempts to re-boot to no avail, I'm at a loss in diagnosing the possible causes or failure modes... Can somebody help me in the right direction???
I'm leaning towards either a corrupted bios via virus, or a fried hard drive or both. If you think something else or this has happened before and anyone knows a fix, I would be eternally grateful for your guidance in resolving this problem I'm experiencing.

I would lean more to a hard drive problem.
A quick test is to temporarily disconnect the hard drive - the system should quickly indicate it can't find the HDD, can't boot, etc. You should also have the option to press one of the function keys to enter system BIOS.
If when you hook the drive up again - it starts getting flaky/slow again to do anything - you've likely found your culprit.

Media Encorder CS6 no longer works as it did

I have CS6 Master Collection on a Windows 7x64 Ultimate HP Z820, 32 GB RAM, Quadro 4000, and have been using it for over a year. I use Premiere Pro and batch Queue to Media Encoder for encoding. The last time I used this workflow for batch was about 130 days ago, and it worked like a charm (like it should). A couple of weeks ago, I was on another project and tried to batch again, just like before, even using some of the same presets (on a 'nothin fancy' timeline) and Pr would create a project file in the TEMP folder after I pressed the Queue button, and AME would launch, and the project would appear in the AME queue. I'd press start, and wait a long time, until finally in the Encorder panel, I'd see "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server...", after several minutes, I'd get the goat, and find an error of "Could not read source file..." in the logs. After verifying the source was indeed there, I decided this was really a dynamic link issue.
Here are a few more data points from things I've tried (also pointing to a dynamic link issue).
(1) Exporting (encoding) directly from Pr works fine (so the headless AME is working)
(2) Importing a Pr Sequence within AME does not work either, I get an error from the Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog (after a long wait “Connecting to Dynamic Link server…”) that “Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed”.
I do suspect this is a dynamic link issue, but don't know why, or what has changed. I've tried the 'create a new Premiere shortcut in dynamiclink folder' solution found on the forums and Google, but it didn't work. When I first tried that, I did find two shortcuts already there, one for Pr and one for Ae, but BOTH of them pointed to a CS4 folder! I've never owned CS4, and went from CS3 Design Professional to CS6 Master Collection. I also suspect this issue was caused by one of the updates to Pr that occurred within the last 130 days (since the last time I know this functionality worked). I've made not changes to my system during that time.
Kyle suggested that it could be firewall problem blocking the TCP traffic used by dynamic link, but I do not use Windows Firewall, and all of this happens on a single machine, so there should be no TCP traffic across the wire (unless it is communicating with Adobe?). I use Webroot Endpoint Protection, but have received no indication that anything is suspect or has been blocked. Any help from the Adobe engineers would be greatly appreciated.
I'd be willing to assist with troubleshooting on my system, as I've done with Audition in the past, but really don't want to uninstall the suite and go through that again. This should be tracked down by looking at the updates pushed out to CS6 withing the last 130 days. I think there have been two.
Thanks,
Shane

Gina,
I've resolved my problem thanks to another posts on this forum. It turned out to be the NVidia nView Desktop Manager applet found in the Control Panel. It was enabled, and I believe it has been enabled for a long time. I don't know if something in a recent update broke things, but as soon as I disabled the Desktop Manager, my dynamic link started working again in all aspects. Give it a try. Good luck.
The following was a description of the problem I was having from another post:
I have the same problem. All of this functionality worked before (at least about 130 days ago), but there have been at least two updates to Pr since that time.
Here are a few more data points. (Win 7 x64 Ultimate on HP Z820 32 GB RAM, Quadro 4000 CS6 Master Collection)
(1) Exporting using Queue in Pr CS6 to batch in AME creates the project file in a TEMP directory, and launches AME and adds the file to the Queue. When I press start, it sits a LONG time, then finally in the Encoding panel, I get the "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server...", until it fails with the error "Can't read source file..."
(2) Exporting directly from Pr works fine (so headless AME is working)

Focus Stacking in CC 2014 No Longer Works (Rant)

I just spent HOURS on 2 different computers trying to do Focus Stacking for 2 jobs I'm working on which I couldn't get to work. I just used it a couple of weeks ago without a problem. (And yes I do use the correct procedure :Files>Scripts>Load Files Into Stacks>Attempt to Auto Align>Select All Layers(in Layers Panel)>Edit>Auto Blend Layers>Stack Images) Of course I thought it was something I was doing wrong, so I spent all this time trying to troubleshoot on my end. Finally I tried the Help Chat and spent another bunch of time reproducing the problem and making screen captures to show the CSR only to find out that it is a known issue at Adobe and it might be fixed in the next update. BTW, it was very obvious that the CSR was helping a list of customers at one time since it took so long in between responses. How aggravating.
Here's the rant I left on one of their questionnaires:
So you ask "How can we improve the Creative Cloud?" My answer is, INFORM YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR PRODUCT SO THEY DON'T WASTE THEIR TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR SYSTEM. JUST LIKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WITH THE ISSUE OF HAVING TO CONSTANTLY SIGN IN WHENEVER YOU LAUNCH ANY OF THE CREATIVE CLOUD APPS.
Is it really so difficult to do this now that we are joined at the hip with this monthly fee Creative Cloud? I'm sure that you'll let us know immediately if we don't make our monthly payment right?

Alerting customers to known issues like this is a reasonable request. Especially with a major functionality breakdown like this. It's a different matter with esoteric issues affecting only a few users.
I'm sure that's a particularly troublesome distinction for Adobe in this particular case, for precisely the reason you mentioned. Though it's a basic failure, I'd wager only a small minority of people use the various image combination features that rely on the functionality that's broken.
As a career software engineer / architect / manager who worked a long time in the corporate world myself, I've faced situations where a release was imminent yet some piece of functionality was found to be broken. There comes a judgment process to determine whether a majority of folks will get value from the new version while a minority might find it problematic. The two things I came away with from all that experience were:
Document everything. Let the customers know. They need to be informed to make good decisions themselves, and it really helps no one to try to keep things secret. No one's perfect, and surprisingly, customers are willing to be quite understanding IF you keep them in the loop. It's not even a bad idea to publish the entire bug list.
I decided that once I were to run my own business (which I do now) I would fix all known problems before release. If that means a delay, so be it. That's been especially effective for a number of reasons... I don't get many problem reports (so I can move forward with new work), I don't have a shaky platform (so I can move forward with new work), etc. Since I set the release schedule and since my development team is small I can pull it off.
I mention the latter note because now, with Adobe's new cloud delivery processes, shouldn't the pressure to release on a particular date have been reduced?
Is there still a "release date is king, and all else a distant second priority" philosophy at Adobe? Of course a corporation should always challenge itself to get things done, but why did 15.1 (excuse me, 2014.1) have to be released right when it did rather than wait a few more weeks and fix at least the newly found problems?
I honestly thought the Creative Cloud shift would help fix the shortcoming at Adobe where they release what's on hand no matter whether it all works.
To Adobe's credit, the Creative Cloud application now does allow you to roll back to a working version if the newest one broke something you rely upon. That's new, and I think an under-documented and under-appreciated feature.
-Noel
Noel, I couldn't agree more with your comments. I'm mad not because there is a problem but the lengths one needs to go to find out about it once you discover that something isn't working in the release the way one expected it to. A "bug" sticky for each release at the top of a forum such as this is would BE A GOOD WAY OF HELPING USERS, a basic business ethic that Adobe seems to have forgotten about, the customer IS KING. I'd agree that the CC was expected by users to sort out the problems of release timings but to their credit if you didn't see a release for 6 months due to increasing software bugs you might question the need to have a CC in the first place versus the old way of releasing updates. Is this essentially a problem of software becoming tooo complex with fixes in one are just creating problems somewhere else? - I'm not a software engineer just a knowledgeable user. If I was paying $50 a month for using a couple of CC programmes with disparate uses then I would be seriously thinking why but that question comes at the end of the year for me.
I would also agree that the rollback feature is very useful...

CS6-Media Encoder Fails on long (1hr +) H.264 render

Windows 7 - 64 Bit. 8 GBs RAM
Adobe Pr and other programs on C: internal Plenty of hard disk space left 300+GBs
External high speed 7200 RPM RAID 1 where the media is stored.
External high speed 7200 RPM Non RAID drive for rendering to be written to.
Both drives are eSata.
CS6 Pr and Media Encoder 6.0.0.382 (OP update: It appears that has been an update to this version, I am going to download the updates and see if that fixes this.)
FOLLOW UP: It appears that the update did fix the problem. I have multiple workstations and was under the impression I had updated them all. I have not fully tested this yet, but for now, I consider it fixed.
Footage is a single capture of a lecture. 1 hr. 20 minutes.
Shot on Canon xf105 in MXF format at 1280x720 23.976p (US)
Footage goes together fine (many multiple file clips 'chained' or butted up against one another, as is done when you shoot a continuous take)
The footage plays fine in Pr in final form for export.
No special effects. one dissolve (intro title slide to lecture)
Reproduceable problem:
i export to Media Encoder.
I choose H.264 and Vimeo Wide Screen SD 23.976
The file exports about 2/3rds of the way, not the same place each time, and fails with no definitive error message. The log shows, "Export Error: Error compiling movie. Unknown error."
Rendered file to external drive (have more than one, have tried it on two, with same results)
All drives have plenty of disk space on them.
I tried cleaning the Media Encoder Media Cache. Same result.
I tried moving the cache files to an almost empty external disk. No change.
I broke the video into a 10 minute segment, it rendered just fine with the same settings.
This seems to be a bug in Media Encoder. Is there a fix for this? A workaround? My client would like a single long file of the presentation.
Could the 8 GBs of RAM be an issue? Not sure why it would. Or is this a known bug for Media Encoder?
I also had a second job today, similar in that I needed to take 6 multiple takes of the same person, drop them onto a timeline and render it to Vimeo for them to review. same issue. Got 13'05" into the compile and it failed. So something is odd. I have compiled much longer footage before, that was done with this camera.

If you have done a complete reinstall, and ran the Adobe CleanScript CS5 (that is the latest), then a Repair Install should not be needed - it would do nothing.
For info, to do a Repair Install, one would insert the installation disc. When the installer module has loaded, it will survey one's system. If it finds the Adobe program(s), it will ask if you wish to Uninstall, or Repair Install. When one chooses Repair Install, it surveys the system again, for that program, and will replace, or correct any issues. This is usually MUCH faster, than doing an uninstall/reinstall.
Good luck, and not sure what else could be the cause.

Is it safe to delete iTunes media that is no longer available in the iTunes Store?

There is a support document that states it is OK to delete content locally so long as the content is available in the cloud depending on your geographic location. As I'm in the US all media types are available. From the document:
You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
What I am still not clear on is if it is also safe to delete content that is no longer available in the iTunes store? Will it still be available for previous purchases?
I prefer the quality and off-line availability of iTunes media over Google Play but I've had issues recovering deleted media in iTunes in the past and so have less anxiety about the security of my purchases on Google Play versus iTunes. Can someone confirm if items no longer available for sale in iTunes are or are not still available via the cloud?

Thanks for the reply although I'm not too happy to hear it. What's awesome about the cloud is no longer having to keep up with any physical media. The promise of that is realized with everything else (my work, music, books) besides movies and TV.
I wonder how Google Play will handle movies/tv that becomes unavailable? Google Play does allow you to download media in some circumstances (on Android and iOS) but is generally intended for streaming. Maybe relying on a physical copy as I do with iTunes should make me more comfortable with it and not less.
I will come back to mark your reply as the solution as it becomes clear there is not a contrary position. Thank you.

Is Lightroom intentionally made difficult for non-English users?

Could it be that Lightroom is intentionally made difficult for the non-English user? I came to this forum today hoping to find an answer and all I see is problems when I try searching the forum, and complicated instructions on how to, supposdely, solve this issue. The issue I am facing has to do with localization, compatibility, interoperability and compliance. The problem is that I can't use many of the Lightroom shortcuts. Many of the ones that require the use of a modifier key on my keyboard just don't work. So what if I have a Swedish keyboard? Sweden is one of the most computer literate contries in the world, and Sweden has played a major role in the development of early computers and new technologies. Adobe has a presence in this country, and I'm quite sure Sweden is an important market for Adobe. So why not make Lightroom compatible with the Swedish keyboard? Why should I care to go through complicated instructions on how to hacktivate my keyboard by the means of editing config or script files? Why can't it just work out of the box?
I feel like this is intentional. Could it be that Lightroom users are only to be found in English speaking countries like USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia? I don't think so.

How about the ability to change keyboard shortcut bindings, i.e. custom shortcuts? I just found that this is not even possible in Lightroom! That explains why people take these strange measures and kludgy ways of making custom shortcuts in Lightroom. Changing shortcuts is often times tricky business because you have to change them in respect to other shortcuts. It's likely that one will have to change several keyboard shortcuts to avoid conflicts, etc. Lightroom needs a shortcut editor!
One should really not even have to change the default shortcuts, Adobe should choose some intelligent key combinations that make sense, and they should just work on any keyboard. I've tried changing the language from English to Swedish in Lightroom settings. The result of this is that nearly all shortcuts are changed to something else, so I would have to re-learn some of the shortcuts I have already learned using Lightroom in English, and of course this also changes the language of the interface which is not something I want. I will have to change my keyboard layout to English to make this work, or get a secondary keyboard, one with English layout. This is something I will only have to do when I work in Lightroom, because many of the professional programs that I use are working just fine with my keyboard. Perhaps Adobe can make the keyboard localization (shortcut maps) as an option, separate from the interface language setting? And for God sake integrate a keyboard shortcut editor for once!

I ended up removing the Keyboard Tamer plugin and then manually adding following strings to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4\Resources\en\TranslatedStrings.txt. This is by the way something that the Keyboard Tamer plugin does as well, because when I removed it I found two files named TranslatedStrings.txt in the Recycle Bin.

I will study the structure of this file in Resources\sv\ and try to understand it. And as I find new "flaws" in the shortcut key bindings I will make new edits to the file I saved in Resources\en\ accordingly.
Here's an idea: those of you who don't mind re-learning all the shortcuts - the localized shortcuts for Swedish keyboards - simply copy the TranslatedStrings.txt file from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4\Resources\sv\ and paste it in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4\Resources\en\. What this does it allows you to keep English as your interface language, but it changes the shortcut map to something that's more adopted for the Swedish keyboard layout. You get the same shortcut key bindings as the ones you see when you change the language to Swedish in the settings. But this way you are preventing Lightroom from changing the interface language.
Either that, or add new strings to an empty Resources\en\TranslatedStrings.txt file for each key binding you find to be broken and not compatible with your keyboard. This way you are only making changes to the key bindings that don't work very well for your keyboard, you are not chaning all of the shortcut key bindings. The other key bindings stay the same, the default key bindings found in the English version of Lightroom (or with English as language settings).
This is a way to adapt Lightroom for your own environment. But this is still too complicated and unncessary. A simple shortcut editor built into Lightroom would have solved this. But what are we going to do?... this is up to Adobe... Lightrooms have been complaining about the lack of a shortcut editor since at least Lightroom 2 and Adobe has not listened. So I don't expect to see this feature in the following years to come. It might just come along in maybe Lightroom version seven or something... but who cares?... At that time I might even ditch Lightroom altogether.
Ligthroom 5 upgrade...
I just found out that the new Lightroom 5 is not compatible with Windows Vista. I have the Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my desktop where I use Lightroom. This was not made very clear by Adobe. They simply state that Lightroom 5 works on Mac and on Windows. You have to read the fine print. I almost purchased the upgrade. I'm glad I didn't. I won't upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 just to run Lightroom 5! We, the early Windows Vista adapters, got screwed by Microsoft. Now, we are getting screwed by Adobe too! I see no reason not to support Windows Vista as it is pretty much the same system as Windows 7, and one would expect Adobe to support them both. I found a thread about it where one user asked why Vista was not supported and Adobe failed to give any explanation. They just silently dropped the OS support.
I guess they can do whatever they want. They are Adobe.
But I will not upgrade to Windows 7 because of Lightroom, so I won't upgrade to Lightroom 5. This is a great oppertunity for Phase One to strike with a good deal, such as a discounted migration upgrade for Capture One. I am sure many Lightroom 4 users would be happy to leave the Lightroom ship in favor of Capture One. At the end of life of Lightroom 4 I will probably just go to Capture One, even if I have to pay full price. At least they support Windows Vista.

AME - Windows Media export, default templates and non-square pixels

In Adobe Media Encoder the default Windows Media export templates have non-square Pixel Aspect Ratio. In Windows Media Player 9, if you play AME's wmvs with non-square pixels all you get is a vertical line a few pixels wide (though they play fine in WMP10 & 11).
There is definitely a problem with non-square pixels.
Using AME, if you create a PAL wmv (720x576 with DV PAL P.A.R.) you get the display problem in WMP9, whereas a D-1 PAL wmv (768x576 with square P.A.R.) will display fine. If you encode the same content with exact the same settings (codec, resolution, etc) with Microsoft's Windows Media 9 Encoder, the resultant output plays fine regardless of the P.A.R!
One for you chaps at Adobe I think:
If Windows Media Encoder can create WMP9 compatible wmvs, why can't Adobe Media Encoder?
or if there is a problem with non-square PARs, then why is it an option on export - remove it until it is fixed?
Any support would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using Prem 4.1 with AME 4.1 against Windows ME 9. WMP9 is the base player we have to support, so upgrading all the players isn't a option.

If you can't upgrade the players, then using Windoes Media Enoder may be your only option. Adobe just came out with a 4.1 patch, so it's unlikely you'll see any more 'fixes' in the very near future.

Media touch key no longer working - Nokia X6 16gb

The dedicated media key on my new X6 16gb (firmware v12.0.091) suddenly stopped working. When I press it ,still get vibration feedback to indicate a key press has occurred but the pop down menu no longer appears. Can't link it to an specific event. Was working originally, now it isn't.
Anyone know a fix without hard reset?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Doesn't seem that you have tried the two solutions in the posts above.. If not..
1. Re-boot your phone ..
If not solved...
2. Factory Reset - Menu > Settings and Phone > Phone mgmt. > Factory settings... dial 12345 (Default code if you have not set your own) when prompted...
If not solved...
3. Soft Reset - Dial *#7370# followed by 12345 ( (Default code if you have not set your own) when prompted...
V.Important..Take back up before going for options 2 and / or 3. Factory reset should not erase any data but still back-up is recommended..whereas Soft Reset will erase your Personal Data / Installed applications so back-up is a must to restore these later on..

Old iPod showing media that is no longer on iPod

I have the old iPod 4th gen. and it keeps showing on iTunes, that I have over 700 songs and 600 pics, but I have deleted them, and they are not on my iPod any longer. Is there some way that I could take them completely off, so that I can still have some memory on my old iPod, so they will stop showing up on iTunes?

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

More secure forms and CAPTCHA for non-BC sites?

Spam is ramping up...
Clients are unhappy.
When can we expect this issue to be addressed?
Loving Muse and Edge :)
Thanks!

The short answers are:
There are no forms enhancements in the Q2 release. The Q2 release is currently in late Beta. Subscribers who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement are invited to participate in the Beta program by going to museprerelease.com.
Addressing the need for CAPTCHA and/or similar technology for sites hosted on non-Adobe hosting is a high priority for the Q3 release of Muse.
We're not ignoring your pleas. The Q2 release marks the first release of work that started nearly 2 years ago. Completing the changes that are part of the Q2 release has required long hours and the full attention of the entire development team. We simply have not had the bandwidth to ponder anything else. We all look forward to that changing once the Q2 version of Muse is released.
Options for limiting or eliminating spam prior to the Q3 release of Muse include:
1) Verify your hosting includes a compatible version of SQL.
This will not elminate spam, but it does throttle the number of submissions a spammer can submit via your form. For your site go to http://<yoursiteurl.com>/scripts/form_check.php This URL will load a page that will report the status of the form processing on your site. Confirm there's a green checkmark next to SQL Configuration.
2) Use a third party forms service.
JotForms, WuFoo and Adobe Forms Central all provide very powerful services for creating and managing forms that require little or no knowledge of HTML coding. The forms created using one of these services can be pasted as an HTML object on a page in Muse.
3) Use a third party form processing library.
This solution requires some knowledge of coding. Products such as CoffeeCup software's forms solution can be used with Muse.
4) Host the site, or at least the form page, on Adobe Business Catalyst.
