Problem with media encoder and re-opening projects

Dear all, I'm a newby and I'm having a very strange problem.
I've made my first premiere project and all seems ok in the preview. Then I've tried to exported it in avi using media encoder. This is a 1024x682 color movie, 25fps, duration about a minute. Avi export setting was xvid compression, and after a long wait (10 min) and nothing started, I've re-tried with divx. After some more time, media encoder blocked and I needed to put it down with windows task manager. Then I closed normally premiere.
After re-opening premiere I've selected the saved project, but it do not open and a message appear (in my language, so I'm trying to translate): "Impossible to open a sequence of the project. It was not possible to associate any sequence preview file or codec to this kind of sequence."
Moreover I've tried do create some other simple projects but none of them can be opened!
More info: Premiere pro CS4, Win XP sp3 32bit, PC AMD64 3200+, 3 GB ram.
Inside project: a couple of avi non compressed video and a couple of jpg still images. And some transitions and text. Background music. Very simple.
I hope you can let me know how to get back to my project, and also to export in avi. Help! Thanks!
Addition:
PS: maybe the codec error I attach can be the cause? How to solve?

Unfortunately, both Sherlock and G-Spot do not see the Adobe MainConcept CODEC's correctly. Adobe uses a naming convention, that they do not understand, but it's done to "hide" those CODEC's, so that other programs do not overwrite them.
Now, there have been reported instances, where a full-paid version of PrPro has "reverted" to the trial version. The trial version cannot do anything with regard to MPEG.
In those cases (do not know the causes), the fix has been to uninstall CS4, run the Adobe Clean Script CS4 several times, rebooting between each run, then installing CS4 again, then updating it. This has worked in every case, that I can recall.
What caused the full-paid versions to revert is a mystery to me, and I have yet to hear of the cause.
Sounds like your full-paid CS4 now thinks that it's the trial version. The steps above should get it fixed for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS4 Problem with Media Encoder

I'm trying to export a project (HDV) and Adobe Media Encoder's been acting up. The program opens, shows the task, but doesn't load the project. It doesn't freeze but fails to load the project even after keeping it overnight. It worked the first time I tried exporting (I stopped it to add one last touch), but it hasn't worked since. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had this problem and it was down to having had Premiere CS3 previously installed. You need to use the Adobe registry cleaner programs to completely remove any elements of the old installation. If you have other CS4 apps these will need uninstalling first. Then do the registry cleaning. Then install Premiere and any other apps. It worked for me so it may for you too. Good luck.
Spok.

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

FLV conversion problem with media encoder

Problem with window.close and window.open

I am having two suspected Actionscript problems which only seem to be happening with Flash player 9 and later.
BACKGROUND:
I have a client who needs browser-launched swf files to play from a CD-ROM (I do not want to use the Flash projector). These files were created a few years ago using Actionscript 1 & 2 code and everything has worked perfectly until now.
Here is the setup:
First, an autorun file on the root of the CD runs and writes a 'trust file' to the 'Macromed' directory. The autorun next launches 'index.htm' which is simply an html page containing a series of links (topic1.htm; topic2.htm; and so on). Next, let's assume the student clicks the 'topic1.htm' link from the 'index.htm' page. The 'topic1.htm' link launches a web page (also located on the CD) which contains and displays 'topic1.swf'. So far, everything works fine.
Here is where the two problems happen.
Problem 1:
I have an 'Exit' button within each swf (remember each swf is contained inside an html page). The 'Exit' button has always worked properly, but suddenly does not work in Flash player 9. I am using the following Actionscript 2 code on the 'Exit' button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
The 'Exit' button has always worked using this code (and still works in Flash player 8 and lower). However, it does nothing when played using Flash player 9.
Problem 2:
There are links to html popup windows within the 'topic1.swf' file (remember 'topic1.swf' is contained inside 'topic1.htm'). Each popup window contains a swf file that is used to present a demonstration. When the student clicks the 'demo1.htm' link from 'topic1.swf', an html popup window SHOULD load and display 'demo1.swf' inside the 'demo1.htm' window. The main ('topic1.htm') window stays open so that the student can return to the topic after completing the demo. This has always worked properly until Flash player 9. Here is the Actionscript 2 code
which I am using on the button inside 'topic1.swf' to launch 'demo1.htm':
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:launchWin2('webpage2.html');");
ADDITIONAL INFO:
'topic1.htm' contains the following code which is used to support the Actionscript code listed under 'Problem 2' above.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am wondering if the problem has to do with a need to use ONLY Actionscript 3 code from Flash player 9 onwards.
Thanks!
Terry

RH9 - problem with ID mapping and HTMLHelp merged projects

I have a merged project with a couple of baggage files (.chm), some .h files.
When the application opens the merged project file, it cannot find the topic ID.
                          hwnd = HtmlHelp (
                                      hWnd,
                                      help_name,
                                      HH_HELP_CONTEXT,
                                      (DWORD_PTR)help_id );
A zero handle is returned. When we were using RH5 (from where we moved the project), everything worked fine.
All mapping IDs are yellow with a lock on them, FWIW.
Any help appreciated.

Astrid,
Sorry to go off-topic on your post...but I have a question in relation to how you deploy your login module. Do you deploy the login module with your application ? I've developed a login module that I would like to deploy by itself, I currently deploy it with the calculator example and it works fine like this, but I need to deploy it by itself. Any tips you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried to use the deploytool and deploy the module as a library...but I get a "cannot load a login module" in the logs when authenticating a user.

Media Encoder CS6 with Media Encoder CC

Hi,
I have finally gotten Media Encoder CC installed. I still have Media Encoder CS6 on my computer. Can I uninstall Media Encoder CS6 without having problems with Media Encoder CC or any other CC apps? There is no uninstall optiion for ME CS6.
Thanks

Uninstalling Media Encoder CS6 shouldn't cause any problem to any CC apps, including Media Encoder CC.
There is no stand-alone uninstaller for Media Encoder CS6. In order to uninstall it, you need to uninstall all CS6 apps on which Media Encoder CS6 is depending. Those CS6 apps includes, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash, Prelude, SpeedGrade, and InDesign. Media Encoder CS6 is installed as a part of those apps. If you have any of those CS6 apps, please uninstall all of them. This also uninstalls Media Encoder CS6.

Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

Hello,
I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
- Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
- Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
- Encoding Time: 00:06:36
5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem. I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file. I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder. A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere. Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
Could use some advice here.
Glen
P.S. the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place. We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
WME is capturing at the following specs:
160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
29.97 fps
640x360 resolution
buffer size: 5 seconds
key frame interval: 8 seconds
I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
AME is encoding with the following specs:
FLV Multiplexing
On2 VP6 codec
620x360 resolution
800kbps 2 pass VBR
100% undershoot at best quality
160kbps stereo MP3 audio
I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
Yes, these are our source assets. They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know. I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
Thanks,
Peter

Problem with interlacing when exporting with Media Encoder CS 5.5

It seems that when exporting a Video with interlacing in Premiere 5.5 with Media Encoder 5.5, the exported video is still interlaced although it is rendered with progressive settings. When rendering with the same settings through Premiere 5.5 without Media Encoder 5.5 (Button "Export") it is correct and progressive.
I tried this with H264 and MPEG2. Anyone experiencing this problem too?
Thanx!

Were the field interpretted correctly in the first place? Even if you think they are, try reversing them. I've just been through hell doing something similar with a mishmash of client material from around the world.
In some instances I switched field order (In the File>Modify) although it didn't seem logical. In others, I used AE CS5.5 to added the Reduce Interlace Flicker filter.

Exporting to Media Encoder and file locating issue

Ok, Now I've read a LOT of threads trying to find a solution to this but none of them have answered my problem exactly, so here's what I have:
Running a New computer with a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and Adobe CS4 Master Suite
Hardware:
Dell Precision M6400
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9900 @ 3.06 Ghz, 3.07 Ghz
12.0 GB Ram
Premiere ran fine for a while, but soon I've run into a problem where I try to export to the Media Encoder and I keep getting the error:
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted" over and over
I have deleted recently imported media one at a time to try and locate what's causing it since it wasn't doing this before, but no luck. So I restarted the program but now the Premiere project won't open. The task bar loads until about 2/3 in and stops there indefinitely, I've left and came back to it 2 hours later and it hadn't moved. I back tracked and found a previous save that will open, but it still will not export, it still says "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted". And as soon as I update anything and save a new file that one will not open either.
I've tried recompressing each video file into a format I know works well with Premiere but still no difference.
This problem has plagued my workflow for a while now and I can't take it anymore. I've had to restart clean project files to try to work around it but I lose so much progress, and the work around by rendering the premiere file through After effects hasn't worked either. The error I get there says "Dynamic link server is busy".
Here's what the problem is not: It is not because I uninstalled CS3 or any other previous version, I've never had it on this computer. It's not a plugin problem, I don't have any plugins on this install except for the default ones that Came with Adobe Master Suite for Premiere Pro.
Someone please help me, this is ridiculous that I have had to trouble shoot the program this much. Both CS4 and Windows 7 have been around for over a year now and neither are in Beta Editions

Wow, sorry, forgive me if I've seen most forums work with a lot less, and your dismissiveness led me to assume you hadn't read my post.
All of this is new and up do date as far as Adobe and Windows updates go, that's Version 4.2.1.
My projects for this are all in NTSC Widescreen DV 24P, the particular sequence that I render from is in that format as well, although regardless of which one I use the problem keeps occurring.
My renders for my recent purposes have been compressed in .h264, IPOD video Large. The codec I'm rendering in also doesn't seem to matter, because I've tried this in .avi., .mov, .h264, .wav, etc. and all with various settings that I thought might help, but the encoder quits encoding 4 seconds in and gives me the error that it can't find the media.
And I didn't mention the media type and what not because it seems irrelevent of what I use this problem keeps happening. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the project file or perhaps the media encoder or both.
And I don't know what you mean by "disks"
Do I have a Raid set up on my hard disk? No, I have two 0.5 TB hard drives, Programs on one (C:\) Projects on the other (D:\).
What address am I saving the scratch disks to? I use the default of "same as Project". Have I tried Clearing it? Yes.
I don't think I'm getting at what you're asking.
And I don't think I've ever used an .xlsm (which is excel?) file and I've definitely never used a Power point project (PPS?) file in my projects. And they open in their respective programs, although I'm not sure why you asked about that. Again I'm not sure I know what you mean.
The Premiere Project (.prproj) file is what I'm trying to open when the progress bar stops at 2/3 the way through and forces me to terminate the process with the task manager to close it.
It would help to mention that all my projects are animated and I use premiere to cobble them together, so no problems that relate to transferring media from a camera to the computer would apply here. Most of the files I get out of Maya are in Default .avi or .mov files, and I also use a handful of .wav files for the dialogue and .jpgs for cards and placeholders.
I believe that this problem began when I updated a few of the files in my project, but I've been doing that for weeks without incident. I've been updating them by saving over the old media file with the updated one of the same name, length, and type.
I don't work exclusively with Premiere, in fact it's not what I usually use, that would be Final Cut Pro.
