Premiere CS5 gets stuck on load at this point "loading RecorderDV.prm"

I have been using Premiere CS5 without a problem for several months and now when I try and open the program it continuously gets stuck at the point of Loading RecorderDV.prm and nothing happens after that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Should I uninstall and reinstall the software?
Cheers
Eric

Well VFW is video for windows, the link below gives some hints to what the problem may be. An imcompatible codec on your system. The issue will be to identify it. Have you installed an codec packs or any video codecs?

Premiere cs4 gets stuck opening projects

Today all of a sudden Premiere started getting stuck while openning projects. These are all projects I've been working on for a long time. I found some posts regarding this issue but they all focus on fixing that particular project. But when this problem happens to me almost all of my projects have the problem. Most of them get stuck "conforming files". A few of them don't give any conforming or similar messages and just freeze in a way I can't do anything. Every 4-5 computer restarts all these projects open and work fine. But 2-3 times opening projects later I run into the same problem, again with all projects.I try importing a problematic project into a new one, the problem doesn't go away. I cleaned the media cache, temp files, didn't make a difference.
Yesterday morning I got the newest Windows updates, and installed a second video card (it uses the same driver as the other video card) to connect my 3d monitor, it works fine and yesterday I worked all day on Premiere and didn't have these problems till this morning. Also yesterday I installed the newest DirectX to make 3d function properly with the new video card. Don't know if any of these can be relevant.
My setup is
Vista 64-bit
Operating system on 120GB flash RAID drive
Projects on 600GB second drive
Video files on 2TB third RAID drive
Disks are half way used and defragmented often.
12GB RAM
Thanks in advance!

As John T. points out, it can take time. Right now, The Masters (Augusta, GA, USA) is being played, so some are probably in front of their TV's, and not reading the forum.
However, one recent post to the PrPro forum was answered in about 30 sec., and then within a minute, four other replies came in. Now, that was an easy one, or so we hope.
I know that Harm Millaard, the hardware guru is still up late and on the forum (from Amsterdam, NL), so maybe he has an answer for your original thread.
Good luck, and see you in the in the PrPro forum.

IMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010) When booting gets stuck and spins. Won't load HELP! SOS!

Apologies to those wiser in dealing with this. I have Apple everything but am totally stumped with my iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010) booting up and then not doing anything except sitting there with the apple symbol on a white screen with the grey mini-circular slashed like a clock little spinner going on and on and on. It seems to be freezing up and locked somehow.
The last time it did boot... I was attempting to install Mavericks. Can anyone please possibly walk me through a few suggestions?
Thank you very much!

Once you've booted into Recovery Mode, see if Disk Utility needs to repair the HD. From the four options choose Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD and click on Repair Disk. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Once done restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If you're still having have a look at this link for suggestions:

CS5 getting stuck at "scanning for pluggins" stage at start up

I am having aproblem with cs5 not starting. It wont go past the above stage of the initialising stage... anyone help?

Boilerplate-text:
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?

Premiere CS5: need to feather edges in 16 point garbage matted video

Meaning, I don't want 4 feathered edges (which seems to be all the "Edge Feather" tool does)... I need 16 of them.
Here's what I'm doing, a head, neck over a greenscreen. I'm color keying out the head and neck, then garbage matteing out kind of a half-circle/crescent at the base of his neck so the whole head/neck is kind of hovering in the shot. I now need to make the edges of the half-circle/crescent at the base of the neck sort of feathered or blurred out.
What should I do?

First of all file a feature request for the feather.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Premiere is long over due with feather.
Make a white color matte with the area you want to feather and drop the Gaussian Blur for feather.
Use this mask for the Track Matte.

Freezing issues with Nvidia FX4000 & Premiere CS5

Question, I'm editing a 1080p animation project in CS5, on an i7 3GHz, Win7 64bit, with Nvidia FX 4000, 15GB of RAM and about 500GBof disk space, plus an additional 800GB of scratch disk.
I'm editing primarily 32 bit frame sequences with some effects. Less than a minute into the project and about 6 layers deep I freeze when trying to build previews (lost the Mercury Engine after layer 4) and freeze when trying to export, its like I basically get stuck. Why is this happening, it makes no sense, there's enough system resources. Would appreicate any feedback.

You aren't the first to post that an i7 machine with nVidia card seems slow. Search this forum for i7 and slow. I can't recall whether anyone came across a workaround or solution.
Have you checked your power management options? Is it possible the processor is somehow not being brought out of low power mode?
Do you have an alternate video card (e.g., made by ATI) you could try with it?
By the way, make sure and close and restart Photoshop after making configuration changes, just to make sure it's using the changes. Just checking boxes and trying things could mean that it's still using the same old settings and the results are therefore inconclusive.

Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software. I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back.
Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile. A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C: Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project - the problem persists.
Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up. I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me. Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive. Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything. I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system. Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr. Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.

I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
PREFACE:
OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too).
If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem. I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem. I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe. Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle).
In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM. bla bla bla, puke...whatever. Bottom line is this:
It's not a software issue. It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no! It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue! HA HA. The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
SOLUTION FOR ME:
Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard. Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating. A very handy, time-saving tool!!! Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
Intel Chipset
Wired Networking
and one non-intel driver:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard.
ROOT CAUSE:
While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Installation gets stuck at system restore point. what are the issues?, help me out ASAP

Hello nitinrathod29,
There are some possible fixes for this issue.
Please check the following thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/47bc6990-00f2-4d85-b3f8-9de03c637f43/visual-studio-2013-update-2rc-stucks-on-creating-system-restore?forum=vssetup

So here are them:
1. Check if you have any software which may prevent the installer from running. For example, Windows Defender or any other software which may restrict your permissions.
2. Just start the computer.
3. Run the setup as admin.
4. Check your UAC permissions.

Getting stuck on isClosed()

I can't figure out for the life of me why this would be occurring. I call the open statement, and it runs the query without any issues what so ever. It gets to the this.resultSet.last() and tries to operate, but it gets stuck. I stepped inside of the this.resultSet.last() method, and found out that it's getting stuck specifically on the this.jdbc.getConnection().isClosed(). It runs just fine when this.jdbc.getConnection().isClosed() gets called in teh open, but comes to a dead stop right when it hits the same line in last(). After a certain amount of time passes, it eventually throws an Outofmemory exception. Any one happen to have an idea of what would or could be causing this? Any and all information would be useful. Thanks.

At least tidy up that horrible nested method. Try this:
public synchronized boolean last() {
   try {
      if (!(jdbc instanceof MRxJDBC)) {
         debug("last()", "", "The MRXJDBC as not been instantiated.", "");
         return false;
      if (!(jdbc.getConnection() instanceof java.sql.Connection)) {
         debug("last()", "", "No sql connection", "");
         return false;
      if (jdbc.getConnection().isClosed()) {
         debug("last()", "", "The connection is not open", "");
         return false;
      if (!(resultSet instanceof ResultSet)) {
         debug("last()", "", "No results returned.", "");
         return false;
      if (!resultSet.last()) {
         debug("last()", "", "No records returned.", "");
         return false;
      assign();
      debug("last()", "Record "+resultSet.getRow()+" of "+count+" returned.", "", "");
      return true;
   } catch (Exception ex) {
      debug("last()", "", ex.toString(), "");
      return false;
}What is "MRXJDBC" and are you sure it doesn't do pooling? Are you absolutely certain that the jdbc connection you pass in is the same as the jdbc field that you access in the above code?

It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 gets stuck on Media Pending.

Hi there,
I've been having a bit of trouble with PPCC 2014 opening projects then getting stuck with all my footage and assets and after effects comps just displaying with 'Media Pending'. The program still works, opens, and I can save and click around so it's not crashing but nothing loads unless I force it to relink which obviously isn't great when I'm having to edit multiple large projects. These projects still open just fine on regular old Premiere Pro CC so I will continue using that for the time being.
Media Encoder is also having an issue with After Effects comps that are in Premiere Pro timelines and only display as 'Media Pending'.
Fortunately all these issues go away if I reboot my machine and try again straight away, but having to reboot my mac just to open a project or do a export isn't exactly preferable.
I have a Mac Pro (late 2013) with 10.9.4 with 16gb Ram and a AMD D500 3GB card.
I'm just wondering if anyone has been suffering with the same issues and has come across any fixes.
Thanks in advance.

Here is my post from another thread concerning the same issue:
I got through Adobe to connect to me remotely to solve this problem twice. They cleaned the cache and preferences and renamed my Adobe folder under applications (don't exactly know how thy did it.) The problem disappeared only to come back after a little while. No video playback, unresponsive buttons - but playable audio, and media pending for all clips. I told them to report this to tech support. This was about a month ago but no updates still..I know I hadn't had this issue neither with CS6 nor with CC.
I am currently rendering my project after changing the sequence's editing mode to Quicktime ProRes Proxy to see if it will help. Preview is still preview but as you said maybe the issue is to be with preview settings set to i-frame mpeg. I have read about the mpeg importer plugin to be an issue in previous versions of premiere pro concerning issues with media pending but i might be wrong.
After changing the sequence settings to Prores Proxy (or if you don't have these codecs installed you may try another codec or google "Prores codec install" and have them installed) the problem cleared away. I have looped the timeline and played it over and over for a couple of hours without the issue surfacing.
For Adobe support and for others to know here is a wiki concerning the issue in CS5. FAQ:Why does my clip show as "media pending"? - Adobe Premiere Pro
