Premiere CS4 Media Encoder AVIs and Encore Encoding Errors

For some reason, I'm having trouble creating DVD's in Encore from AVI's exported from Premiere CS4. When encoding starts, Encore immediately pops up with an "encoding error". I now, all of a sudden get this identical error on two of our systems.
Most of the time Encore works if I export an "MP2" file from the Premiere CS4 timeline.
Any of you guys having trouble with Encore CS4? To me it has been a lot more buggy and unreliable than any previous version. The program also seems sluggish on our Q6600 4gGB RAM computers! Kind of like the program is straining just to open its windows.
Another thing that is annoying. Earlier in the day, I exported a Flash Web video for a client's review. A few hours later I had to make a 1 hour and 46 minute DVD with chapters for a client that had to be Fed Ex'd overnight. It took forever to complete and I soon realized that Encore defaulted back to the last export...FLASH! cr@p. I would prefer that the program defaulted to standard DVD creation. After all it is Encore DVD.

I'm having major problems with Media Encoder CS4.
When I try to create an AVI file (for example) from a section of my Premiere Pro CS4 timeline, the encoder opens, takes forever to load the project, and then, after I hit start queue button, it again takes forever to load the project in the small window at the bottom of the display.
Finally the "waiting" message in the queue list turns to an orange exclamation mark with the message that encoder "could not read from the source. PLease check if it has been moved or deleted." Which of course it has not been. THis happens even if I preview the section in advance in Premiere. material.
If at any point I hit the settings button it simply reloads the project

Uncompressed 23.976 progressive avi and Encore encoding looks like crap!

Since i'm getting an "internal software error" when I try to burn a DVD from an m2v/wav I export out of After Effects; i've now exported an uncompressed AVI so I can let Encore encode to hopefully fix this problem.
So this 1.54gb AVI is 720x480, 16:9, 23.976fps, PROGRESSIVE.
When I import it into Encore and throw it on the timeline, it looks, and plays beautifully. (i've got a mediavault raid) :-D
I then go into the transcode settings and set it to this:
23.976 [fps], Progressive, Quality 5.0
192 [kbps] 48kHz, Dolby Digital
VBR, 2Pass, Min 1.50, Target 7.00, Max 9.00 [Mbps]
After a quick encode (Dual- Dual Core Xenon), I play back the video, and it has a pulse. It jitters at a regular rate, bump..bump..bump..bump, the text jumps as if its jumping fields. It is overall just horrible, nasty, etc.
So i'm wondering if the MainConcept encoder that Encore is equipped with is just garbage, or i'm doing something wrong. I'm (this close) to going and buying Media Cleaner, or some other aftermarket encodr.
I've got a job to do, and I hate having to trick the software, or change my workflow to get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We'll i've tried both and have not come up with any luck. I've now tried TMPENC, and its pumping out some GREAT looking m2v's. Right now I have to get the settings down, so I dont get an overstream error.
Also, I've noticed that it doesnt mind that its a seperate audio/video stream as it did with my after effects exported mpeg2-dvd files.
I'll keep you posted on my success (lets hope :) )

Questions on Premiere CS4 4.2.1 and Media Encoder 4.2.0.006

What I am trying to do is take a single long captured file and break it into individual clip files. I know I could have used timecode based scene selection when importing to break up the clips into individual files, but the timecode was messed up and capturing to one long file was the only option.
Question 1) How, if possible, can I export mutiple clips on the timeline to ME at one time. It just seems silly to have to move the work area start/end points for each clip, export it, and then move the work area start/end points to the next clip and export and so on for, say, 50 clips on the timeline. With clips the start/end points are obvious; the start of the clip and the end of the clip. And a simple Clip 1, Clip 2, Clip 3, Clip 4... naming convention would be fine. Is there a way to do this? Or even just draging and dropping a clip into ME would at least save me the time of moving the work area around (which, again, seems repetative since the whole clip is being exported).
Also, once I have manually exported, say, 20 clips into ME, it is taking about 5 minutes (after it indicates it is encoding) to actually start encoding. Once the progress bar begins to show the clip is encoding is goes quickly and I get the green check mark. But then the next clip says encoding and it again takes about 5 minutes for the progress bar start to show encoding is occuring. So to encode 20 clips (ranging from 10 seconds to maybe a minute long each) it takes up to 2 hours. These are simple DV captures being exported to .AVI clip just to break them into individual clip files, so no transcoding or scaling or effects are involved.
Question 2) Are there any settings that I may have/have not set that can speed up the process? Is this normal encoding speed?

Best quality HDV to DVD using Premier Pro CC to Media Encoder CC and Encore

I have been struggeling to create a decent looking DVD from my HD video. I am a newbe. And I have read many, many forum posts trying to learn the best practice and have come out even more confused. Many posts are back in 2009 and I don't think they apply. Some recommend dynamic link which does not appear to be an option for me. So I am hoping to get a clear answer to my problems. I am including alot of info because I don't know what is really important.
I have 2 types of video that I am merging into my sequences.

Hopefully I set up my sequence correctly???
Dynamic Link is not available to me, so I export the sequence. This is where i get confused.
I export to MPEG2-DVD. Preset NTSC DV Wide
Some forum posts say to tweek the video setting for better quality, this is what I have read:
quality to 100
minimum bit rate 4
target bitrate 6
maximum bitrate 7
click maximum render quality
Since my source has upper field order but PP defaults to lower field order, should I switch to upper?
I encode in Media Encoder.
In Encore, I have my dvd settings:
MPEG-2
720x480
29.97 fps
Lower fields first (should this be upper??)
I have an i5 processor, 8G ram, I am using Mecury GPU accelerator.
I listed a lot of stuff and I appologize. I just think the quallity I am getting isn't there. With these setting and what I am doing, is this as good as the quality gets?
Help

Use a 1920 x 1080, 30i sequence for the editing, not 1440 x 1080.
Start with the MPEG2-DVD option and the NTSC DV Widescreen preset. Change the Quality to 100. Change the Field Order from Lower to Upper. Change the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively. If you have hardware acceleration turned on, export away. If you're running in Software Only mode, check the Maximum Render Quality box and then export.
Bring the resulting video and audio files into Encore for authoring.

Premiere CS4 & Media Encoder CS4 didn't work..

i just install Premiere Pro CS4 & Media Encoder CS4..
i finished editing my videos in Premiere, but when i want to encode it in Media Encoder, it says "please verify that adobe premiere is installed in your computer"..
what should i do?
tnx..

Welcome to the forum.
Do you have the full-paid version, or the trial?
It sounds like your installation is not complete, or has become corrupted. This is a general CHECKLIST for installing most Adobe programs. Look over it, to see if perhaps you missed something.
If you did everything in the checklist, then I would attempt a Repair Install. Did you install from media, or from a download?
Good luck,

Encoding Menus - without re-encoding imported (and already encoded) mpegs

I uncerstand that its best to encode Video with Compressor and Audio with A-Pack - but once you've done that and imported the resultant .mv2 and .aac into DVDSP, its now time to compile the menus, buttons - basically the entire disc.
Well doesn't that then force DVDSP to re-encode all those already-encoded video and audio tracks?
I mean I don't get it, how can you compile/build the disc without hurting your Compressor-encoded files?
Or do you just skip the "build" and go directly to "format"?
MacBook 1 gig RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Ok, not that I doubt you, but, well, how do I know
that???
Take a look at PG 230 regarding the menu issue, also
take a look at page 66 for some info.
Unfortunately, I'm on the road and don't have any of my manuals handy. Just my macbook and a 500gig hard drive.
Either way, I think I figured this whole thing out. I made a new folder, created a totally new project, encoded all my video files with Compressor and the audio with A.PACK and put everything in that new folder. Then I set-up the menus, buttons, links - everything - and did a "build" - Its very clear that DVDSP didn't touch any of the encoded files. I saw that an "mpeg" folder was created inside the new folder I had just created - but that's because of one of the template motion-menus I used in the project. Everything else stayed as is.
So, this proves beyond any doubt that building/muxing doesn't harm or re-encode previously encoded assets.
If the video is long,
or you made complicated menus or are using
transitions (which are encoded/made by DVD SP) then
things can take a good chunk of time.
I didn't know transitions slowed things down - but this totally makes sense.
as an aside, are you running the Universal Binary of
DVD SP?
Oh - I'm running version 3 of DVDSP - not up to version 4 yet - and I'm running it on a brand-new black macbook... I think this combination might be causing some problems.
Either way, things are looking pretty good right now. I haven't burned a DVD yet - which is the final test obviously - and that's coming next - but things are looking good so far. I'll know the bottom line to all this very shortly and will let you know how it went.
In the meantime, thanks a lot! I very much appreciate your assistance.
I'll probably have a Compressor question next
I'm not crazy about the quality of the image that I got by encoding with Compressor. DVDSP did it better - but that's a whole other thing - are you able to answer Q's on Compressor?

Installing photoshop cs4 on an iMac and getting the error code licensing for this product has stopped working. what do i do?

Hello,
what do you think about download a PS trial version, install it and then use your SerialNumber to active it.
You could use http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html AND note the: "Very Important Instructions" mentioned there.

Premiere CS4 / Media Encoder cannot locate source

Premiere Pro CS 4 / Media Encoder - Sources load fine and upon export they appear in Media Encoder as "waiting." However, on starting the que I immediately and constantly get the message that the source file cannot be found. Note I am able to drag files into Media Encoder, start the que and get the expected results. Thoughts? Thank you

Maybe this Adobe KB Article will be of help.
Good luck,

Project Settings vs. Encoding and Encore Resolution for BR

I am editing HDV footage from a Canon HV20. When I setup my project in Pr Pro I used the recommended
default HDV project settings. Hopefully these are correct. I will be burning a Blu-Ray disc for the project.
I assume like other products I have used, the best answer here is the native resolution of your source which hopefully is what I am getting.
Now when I render it via media encoder, it asks me for the "frame size"/resolution for the Blu-Ray disc output.
Also when opening a new project in Encore, it asks for similar information. I am in NTSC land.
I am familiar with the HD standard and resolutions, and the end result of this project is a Blu-Ray disc played on HDTV's.
However what is the best media encoder resolutoin and encore "frame size" settings for a Blu-Ray disc with an HDV source?
I saw several articles and videos from Adobe about these settings and they explain what they are, but not what the recommended selections are.
As a sidenote, once you are working on a project in PP can you change the settings/resolution of the project?
Thanks,
BJBBJB1
PS...Did not know which forum to post this in as it straddles all 3 products!!

First, thanks to both of you for your help! Hmmm, I am sure the confusion is on my end....
Both of you recommend H.264 vs. MPEG 2 for encoding. If I am rendering a 1 hour 20 minute Blu-ray, for burning Blu-Rays that I need to paly on a white variety of standalone players, what is the better choice and whay? I was planning on burning to single layer Blu-Ray at best quality. I am also using 5.1 audio.
For the encoder, I was going to use "HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality" as my rendering preset with MPEG2.
However now I am wondering if I should be using H.264? Harm, you mention it and you also mention "square pixels". I am familiar with this concept due to my photography work and slide shows vs. video, but where is this "square pixel" setting in the media encoder??
Anna, I appreciate your comment regarding keeping it simple, however, although I am far from a PPro expert, I definitely am into Home Video and understand quality and resolutions, etc., so I want to get the best quality even if I have to do a little work.. So I'll get there. I see that clicking on that menu item allows you to choose maximum render quality. I have plenty of RAM but since I am not going SD to HD or SD to HD, perhaps it won't matter much. However I am confused by the resolution you are showing there, 1440x1080?
As far as my initial question regarding how to setup my encore project, I may have answered it myself by playing around with the media encoder box. I opened up the drop down advanced section and I see it presents the frame dimensions there. I would assume I would use the exact same frame dimensions in Encore when setting up my project.
So I guess at this point my only decisions are:
1) What codec should I use when exporting from PPro? h.264 or MPEG-2. If it matters, I am using 5.1 audio also. (thanks for all your help with that Harm months ago, it works great!).
2) What resolution to use in media encoder?
3) How do I set square pixels?
4) Once exported, in Encore, is my assumption correct that I will just use the same resolution as exported from P Pro.
Perhaps that is what Anna was recommending, keep the same resolution and then let Encore render to 1920X1080 however I would want to get all my rendering out of the way during the export process and just keep it all the same in Encore if that is a good workflow.
Thanks again for all the help!

How to Mix Export and Burn 5.1 Surround in Premiere CS4

Ok I'm attempting my first 5.1 mix in Premiere CS4. I have a couple of basic questions about mixing and exporting in 5.1.
I have created my 5.1 master sequence in premiere and have broken out my 5.1 track to 6 mono audio files. Right now they are all .wma with a very high bitrate because that's the only format I was able to rip off the Blu-ray disc I'm experimenting with. I have also learned to change my audio hardware to run off of my Matrox Driver to utilize my hardware for my matrox axio LE. The end result I'm trying to produce is a 720p 23.967fps H.264 Blu-ray disc with 5.1 sound.
Questions:
Should I use wma files for audio or something else? At first I noticed a little bit of a lag in performace before switching my audio hardware to the Matrox Driver.
Do I have to use Dolby Surcode upon export to burn in Encore? When I first upgraded to premiere CS4 I used my 3 free encodes while testing our the program, is there any way to get them back?
When importing the Audio into Encore is there anything special I need to do or can I just drop the Dolby 5.1 track onto the timeline as I would normally with at stereo track?

Should I use wma files for audio or something else?
PCM WAV 16 bit stereo @ 48 KHz.
Do I have to use Dolby
Surcode upon export to burn in Encore? When I first upgraded to
premiere CS4 I used my 3 free encodes while testing our the program, is
there any way to get them back?
Yes, no.
When importing the Audio
into Encore is there anything special I need to do or can I just drop
the Dolby 5.1 track onto the timeline as I would normally with at stereo
track?
No, yes.

CS4 using a Mac and want to play video using windows media player

Hi I am having issues with file types to play video back using Windows media player.
I am producing video using Premiere CS4 on a Mac and I need to know what format to use to have the files play in windows media player as .mp4 is not compatable with wm player.
Thanks

I have Windows Media Player installed on my PC workstation and I do remember installing a codec so that MP4 files could play in WMPlayer 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit (should work on 32-bit also)
look near the bottom section of this link for further information. The codec is called DirectShow
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992#34
Otherwise if you're posting videos on a webpage for example in the mp4 format use the Quicktime html wrapper so that people using Mac's can also view your videos that are encoded for PC's. If you encode in wmv format (Windows Media Video) then provide a link to the "Flip4Mac" application that can use Quicktime on the Mac to play Windows Media Files. I think you can find it on www.mactopia.com .

Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

Hi Folks,
I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

Sorry for your troubles.
Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable. Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen. Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so. And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

Premiere pro CS4+media encoder CS4 problem encoding to WMV and MOV

Hello,
I am new to CS4. I lurked around the meanders of CS4 help and FAQ. In spite of the large help database I could not find a solution to my issue.
I edited a little movie from shots I took during holidays. I edited in premiere pro cs4 and it is a bit faster than CS3 <yoohoo>
However I want to export the movie as NTSC source to high quality download. In the Expot settings, I wrote a file output of course so it can encode and compile the movie somewhere on my HDD and I did not touch anything in standad NTSC source to high quality download values and tabs. In the end the movie should be around 848 mega.
I press OK, then Media Encoder pops up on screen. my project comes automatically in Media Encoder which is neat so I just had to click on start Queue but here is my problem...
I can wait for 4 hours or more, Media Encoder status states Encoding but nothing moves forward. Elapsed time remains at 00:00:00, Estimated Remaining remains blank.
Although something triggered my attention when I widen Media Encoder Source Name tab. It sounds like my project from Premiere Pro is placed in a temporary folder instead of using the regular save project file folder in ...>adobe>premiere pro>4>sebsofie2010b which strange.
I try to place a picture of my issue and perhaps it will help everyone.
This picture was taken about 1 hour and half after I tried to encode the movie for the fifth time.
The status quotes "Encoding"...
Thanks in advance for any help

Hello,
This is Song to an Illiad. I had to change Email address and password as I am switching provider soon.
So Ok to bypass the issue at that time, I simply transfered all files to a jumpdrive and re-did the composition at a friend house. Although my problem persist and Thank you for the Wiki link it was helpful. Sherlock free ware discovered several erronous Codec. Do not ask me why, how, when please. I do not toy around with codecs and all I do is update software but I have several software going from Adobe to Autodesk series as well as Nero Light version that came with my Dvd burner. Should I also mention I play video games when down time permits, as such I updated several time the DirectX software. Beside this, what is it called... Dvix or Xvid, well something like that... prompted me about 2 months ago to update to a newer version which I did. Finally I installed a freeware to export an avi type to another found on Cnet.com a few months ago as the file could be seen in Premiere pro but there were no Audio track seen in premiere while the client gave me his camcorder and I knew there should be an audio track, it was a sort of camcorder that records on a memory sticks which is why the camera was small. It was a canon but nothing more detailed than that. Anyway, I had the camera with no drivers whatsoever and I had a hard time to find the driver for free online which is why I found a freeware or perhaps was it a shareware or a trial (I am not sure), anyway it decoded and re-encoded the movie which it did successfully with lots of image loss quality but it was succesful. I know I deliberatly threw the shareware or trial straight in the garbage once I was done because I do not want this kind of junk on my PC. Perhaps could it be the issue with Media Encoder not able to start?!?!
Here comes a couple of texts Copy/Past & image to describe what Sherlock found

What should I do? Can I just reinstall the codec from my Adobe CS4 Production Suite (Without) creating more issues and problems? It seemed the Wiki hints were helpful to pin point a problem but not always at giving solution.
Thanks in advance,
Seb
P.S: Could Adobe throw a little software to download to ensure all codecs are what they should be like and prompt user to reinstall straight from our Dvds? It would be soo much easier that way.

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...

· I also own a Vado HD.
May I know which editor is compatible with it?

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.

Premiere CC 7.2.2 crashes when trying to export via Media Encoder and Encore crashes while DVD build

Hello,
My computer is a:
2x Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 (2000 MHz, 20MB);
16x Kingston DIMM 8 GB PC3-8500 ECC Reg.;
PNY Quadro 4000 with 2048 MB GDDR5-RAM;
PNY Tesla C 2075
2x 2000 GB Western Digital RE4 (7200 UPM/S-ATA II) as a RAID I
1x 120 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
1x 240 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (system disk)
Tyan S7050GM4NR motherboard
Windows 7
I freshly installed Windows 7 and the CC-Apps PremierePro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop and Speedgrade.
When I try to export any video from premiere to the media encoder premiere crashes without any error message. The problem is not the project: I created several new projects and even if I only have one Graphic-File/Bars/h264-video in the timeline that I try to export: premiere crashes. When I export directly from premiere it works, but there is no chance to go via media encoder. The strange thing is that I can export from after effects to the media encoder without any problem...
Second Problem: Encore crashes also. Everytime I try to build a DVD => Encore crashes
Does anybody have an idea?
Here is what I already tried:
Yesterday it worked fine today it crashes when I export from premiere via media encoder.
1. Bars+Tone => export => crash
2. Video Project with 2 short h264-files => export => crash
3. I used Software only renderer => crash
This is the Windows log that I found:
