Problems exporting to uncompressed MS-AVI (PPro 2.0)

Hi!
I have done a little film with still images. When trying to export 20-30 seconds from it (just to try it out), the resulting file is unplayable, and seems corrupt(normally I can play uncompressed video). Before I started this project, I did a test project with other still images, exporting to uncompressed Microsoft AVI, and it was no problem. Now it doesn't work, and neither does uncompressed Quicktime.
Changing the 10-bit YUV compressor to 8 bit results in a file that is playable, but the picture is distorted and made up of narrow lines.
Exporting to DV-AVI works allright, though.
The only difference between this project and the previous test project is higher quality pictures, and texts on top.
Could there be some setting that I need to adjust? Here is all the information I know:
Computer:
Dell Dimenion 8300
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz
1,50 Gb RAM
Windows XP
Service Pack 3
Premiere Pro 2.0
project setting: DV PAL Widescreen
export settings:
Uncompressed MS AVI
work area bar
10-bit Yuv
25 fps
aspect ratio: D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
Data rate: recompress, maintain data rate
Bit Depth: use project setting
Fields: no fields (progressive)
The pictures are jpg , and the audio is mp3.
It would be great if someone with knowledge could point to what may be the problem!

John caught that "higher quality" mention, as did I. I think that the linked article will be helpful.
Though it does not seem that you are having an issue with the MP3, you might keep this ARTICLE in mind, should you encounter any. Some MP3's never cause an issue, and some users happily use them. In many other cases, however, they do cause issues.
Good luck,

Exporting Widscreen Uncompressed Microsoft AVI?

I am attempting to export using the "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI" format but it exports all skinny.
I had exported using the "Microsoft AVI" format with the "NTSC DV Widescreen" preset and my video is exported just fine. However, I need the video to be in the "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI" format so here are my settings.
So I try exporting with the "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI" format and setting the aspect ratio to "D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9(1.2121) - the same export settings as the compressed AVI export. But the Uncompressed Microsoft AVI format stretches the video vertically with black letterbox bars left and right of the video. When I export the video in the "Microsoft AVI" format with the above settings, the letterbox bars are above and below the video and the video is not stretched.
What am I doing wrong? Why do the 2 formats export the video different with their settings almost the same?

I don't want to make the player have to unsqueeze it. I want to encode it in such a way so the player knows how to properly display it.
If I encode it as "Microsoft AVI" with the Widescreen preset, then the players display it just fine. So it is POSSIBLE to encode it in such a way so the user isn't forced to figure out how to properly play the video. An audience member should should just be able to click on the video and it just plays correctly.
What is it about encoding the video as a "Microsoft AVI" with the Widescreen preset, that it plays just fine in a player? How can I replicate this when I don't use a preset? Is it something that the codec is placing in the video that tells the video player to play the video a certain way? If so, then maybe I have to find the proper codec.
The reason why I didn't wish to encode the video with the normal preset is because I found that I needed to use the "UYVY" codec when I was exporting the video as a "uncompressed Microsoft AVI" because when I did, bright colors within the video no longer looked interlaced. The "None" codec of the "Microsoft AVI" mode also exported the colors well.
So I need to figure out how to export my video that follows the following 4 criteria:
1) Does not make my bright colors look interlaced.
2) does not make my video look skinny
3) my widescreen video takes the entire width of the screen w/o stretching.
4) I don't have to give my audience a set of confusing instructions on how to set up their video player in order to make the video look the way it ought to.
How can I export my video as an AVI file and follow the above 4 points?

Problem exporting uncompress AVI

Problem exporting uncompress AVI. The output file will have in-between frames that appear like this:
Help!

Thanks for response! It's not the player's problem (it's mpc btw), I import it into Premiere for post editing and it's disaster to see the failed rendering.
Mmm need time/Everest to find out the system info. Generally render setting is just straightforward AVI lossless/best quality with no codec assigned.

Jitter problem after burning DVD from avi or mpeg2 that was exported from original timeline edit

When burning a DVD directly from the timeline in Elements 7, there is usually no problem, however, when first exporting it to an .avi or .mpeg2 file, and then putting that new file back into the timeline, and then burning that new file to a DVD, there is jitter or "strobing" when the subject in the video moves (when playing the DVD).
It's not an install, or re-install issue, because before I started with this new computer, the exact same thing happened with the last computer I was using.
Thanks.

Les,
I do not know the newer Pinnacle Studio products, but going back to 8 and 9, through 9.4.3, the workflow was based on DV-AVI, just like PrE is. Pinnacle might have changed over to MPEG-2 in later versions, but I just do not know, as I have not seen a version, since Studio 10 hit was such a disaster.
One of the problems when working from DVD-Video material is that it has already been compressed to MPEG-2, loosing a good bit of data, and also converting the material to GOP (Group of Pictures), so that individual Frames are not present any longer. This precludes Frame-accurate editing, unless that compressed material is converted to all I-frame. See this ARTICLE for some background on GOP. Then, upon Burn to Disk, that I-frame material is once more compressed (again) to MPEG-2 and GOP for use in a VOB container. This WILL cause degradation of the image, most noticeable where there is motion, either subject, or camera motion. Some NLE's offer what is referred to as "Smart Rendering." This can help in some areas. For portions of the footage, where no changes have been made, beyond just cuts, the material will NOT be Transcoded again to MPEG-2, but will be used, as-is. Note: add a Transition, or a Title, or a PiP, or any Effect, and that footage WILL be Transcoded, so the Smart Rendering aspect will be moot. Sony's Vegas has been recommended for Smart Rendering, but I have never used it. This might be worth investigating. Also, if Pinnacle Studio is working fine, you might want to consider using that program. I have 5 different NLE's on my workstation, and use each for specialized situations, though the vast majority of my editing is done in PrPro.
Regarding the existing DVD-Videos, much depends of the source. PrE can Import and work with 100% DVD-compliant (very important) VOB's. Unfortunately, most DVR's do not create 100% DVD-compliant discs. This is most often manifested in the first VOB, which will contain any Menus and navigation. This ARTICLE will give you some background on VOB's, which are Video Object "containers."
As you point out, there can be issues with the resulting MPEG-2, as it will span part of VOB 1, and then all remaining VOB's. With 100% DVD-compliant VOB's, there will be a perfect flow in the MPEG-2 that spans the multiple VOB's. When the VOB's are not 100% DVD-compliant, issues can arise.
Considering your DVR, it is likely that ripping is going to be the best workflow, as that will strip out the other material in the first VOB and should then gather the data for the spanned MPEG-2. The ultimate rip will be to a DV-AVI Type II file w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. This is an older FAQ Entry from the Encore Forum, on ripping, but might have some useful tips. Note: this was for getting material from a DVD-Video for authoring to a new DVD in Encore, and not editing.
For non-commercial DVD-Video editing, I will use an A-D bridge and my DVD deck, and capture to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio, and Import the resulting files into PrPro/PrE. This is exactly the same workflow that I use, with analog material, like VHS.
Also note that PrPro, a US$900 program did not get VOB Importing until CS4.2 (current version), while PrE has had it for some time now. Also, PrPro is a DV-AVI-based, I-frame, program, just like PrE, so no "Smart Rendering" there either. Same exact issues exist in "big-brother," PrPro.
Most of all, good luck,
Hunt

Problems with exporting flash movie to AVI movie

Hi, I have created a flash movie with motion tweens for my lettering and added external images for my backgrounds and symbols to create a presentation. The presentation works perfect in Flash, but the problem is when I export it to an AVI movie, the lettering is totally gone for each slide and only the images of backgrounds and symbols are working.
I keeping getting an error in the output box everytime I play the movie in flash:
Error opening URL 'http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml'
I don't know if this helps.

Not sure you posted this issue to the correct forum. This is the Adobe Connect Forum not the Flash forum. You might get better results in the Flash forum.
I think your conversion tool is doing that. Maybe another one would be better.

Export to windows media encoder-PPro crashes

Every time I try to export to Adobe Media encoder: windows media: PPro crashes.
I am working on a 64k computer using the 32k version of PPro CS3.
Every other format in the media encoder works fine.
Does anyone have any solutions or know why this happens?
Thanks,
J.

J.Charette, "Export to windows media encoder-PPro crashes" #, 15 Jan 2009 12:24 pm
This thread is getting a bit old now but I'm now having the exact same problem as J.Charette. I think I may have some light to shed on it as well. I was successfully running CS3 master collection and exporting to WMV files in PPro/AE for the past year under XP64. I was given a new computer (again XP64) and didn't have any problems until I installed Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 64 (I used to use the 32 bit version successfully and this time figured I'd just get the 64 bit one instead).
Now that I've installed WME I can't export as WMV from any AE/PPro CS3. As soon as AME comes up with the format selection screen, if I select WMV from the drop down box it immediately crashes. I've tried uninstalling WME, reinstalling it and even uninstalling WME & CS3 and reinstalling from scratch. Still doesn't work.
In my case at least, there is a definite correlation between installing WME64 and its interaction with Adobe Media Encoder... Anyone have any suggestions? It seems to me there must be some registry setting / config file for AME that is causing it to try to use WME64 for something which causes a crash (since 32 and 64 bit apps can't call each other).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Christopher Grant

Problem exporting .mov file

I'm trying to export a :30 second sequence using quicktime conversion to a .mov file. I use the default settings with the H.264 codec and uncompressed 16 bit audio. (I've also tried a few other settings with Sorenson and Sorenson 3) The same thing happens everytime. The export takes forever (about 20 minutes) then stops when the progress bar gets to about 79%. A general error comes up. On some occasions, I have also gotten a notice that says my startup disk is close to full. This is confusing because all my drives have at least 10gb of space available on them.
It was suggested in another thread that this could be a result of a corrupt media or render file. If so, how does one determine that this is the cause? It was also said that bad RAM might be to blame.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm...
I wouldn't jump right into upgrading as a fix at this point, since your program shouldn't have any trouble exporting a simple Quicktime, and the upgrade to Final Cut Studio from FCP 3 is $799 USD. That isn't full price, but still may be a bit steep if you've chosen to keep using FCP 3 for so long. Although I will say that subsequent versions include many improvements that you might actually appreciate so keep it in mind.
Have you tried exporting using Quicktime Conversion from any other projects with any other clips? That would also be a good idea, to narrow down the problem. Did you try exporting a Quicktime Movie using Current Settings? I realize that may not be adequate for your final intention, but it would help the troubleshooting as well.
I once had a problem exporting a clip from FCP and after trying everything, I recaptured the clip and it ended up working. There were no visible glitches or skips in the video to indicate that the clip itself would have been corrupt, but turns out it was. So if you can recapture, since it's only a 60-second clip, maybe give that a whirl.
You should also trash your FCP prefs (search for com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist on your sytem drive and delete that file), repair your permissions (in Disk Utility), and restart.

I cannot export to "Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2" format. Help!

I need to deliver clips to a stock agency but I cannot export the footage from iMovie with the uncompressed format I need. Not in iMovieHD, nor in iMovie8, nor in FCE. I tried it with a 10 second clip, so it can not be the length or files getting too big!
So what happens?
Exporting to Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2
If I try this setting, on all occasions iMovie simply crashes and I get the "iMovie quit unexpectedly" window. The same thing happens in FCE.
Exporting to Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2
When I export using this seting, iMovie SEEMS to export the file as it should. But when I open the file in Quicktime, the timebar indicates the full 10 seconds, but the video & audio freezes after about 1 or 2 seconds, the clip keeps playing and I hear & see the last second of the clip again. The same thing happens with files exported with this setting in iMovieHD, iMovie8 and FCE.
I've read on the forum that I should not worry about the quicktime movie not playing right, because the file can be imported into Final Cut without any problems. So I try not to worry about this and hope the stock agency can work with the files... But that still does not explain why I cannot export to 10-bit 4:2:2 without my video programs crashing!
And yes, I've also tried doing this on my Macbook with Intel processor. With the same result.
Can somebody please help me with any suggestions? Thanks!!
Daniëlla

You don't say what's the source of your clips.
If standard DV (..though I doubt that an agency would accept standard def video any more..) NTSC DV is compressed in the camera as 4:1:1, and PAL DV is compressed as 4:2:0 ..so you won't get true 4:2:2 from normal DV, unless you're using a broadcast camera (..probably feeding into the capture device via SDI inputs).
If the source was tape-based HDV or any other hi-def source, then iMovie converts that, during import, into Apple Intermediate Codec, and wouldn't be able to output proper Uncompressed 4:2:2 material.
For Uncompressed 4:2:2, I think you'll need to be using a dedicated capture card - and massive-capacity hard discs! - to be able to import the material in the first place.
iMovie certainly isn't the program to handle pro video of this nature.
Ask in the Final Cut Pro Discussions..
"..I've also tried doing this on my Macbook with Intel processor.." ..but maybe that's just not fast enough (older Mac portables have "shared graphics memory" ..meaning their graphics processor may have to compete with the main processor to temporarily grab free RAM)!

Have problem to convert MOV to AVI in QuickTime Pro 6.1

Have problem to convert MOV to AVI in QuickTime Pro 6.1 - I tried export (convert) MOV(18MB) to AVI format, and got just 253KB AVI file in output. I even can no play it. What is wrong? What Export options(quality) should be selected? I used default (medium), should I use 'high' or 'best'?

I am assuming you already are able to open the movie
in QT Player. Use Export in the File menu, choose
Movie to Avi in the drop-down Export Menu and then
click on Options to choose one of the pre-loaded avi
codecs for the compression. You may also want to
search for and install one of the newer codecs, such
as 3ivx or divx since the preinstalled codecs are all
rather old.

Thanks for the help. It worked, but the quality of the video is poor. Is there anything I can do about this?

Uncompressed video avi

I used Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5 to convert a movie to "uncompressed avi" (as roxio calls it). It has an aspect ratio of 320x240 and is still around 35 gigs. Huge, I know. My problem is quicktime plays only the audio and doesn't play the video, doesn't even have a blank screen, just the flat audio toolbar. Windows Media Player plays the video and audio with no problem. Does anyone know why quicktime won't play it? I'd like to convert for the ipod hence the need for quicktime. Thanks
dell Windows XP

It appears that Roxio is using some strange codec, perhaps a proprietary one, and calling it uncompressed. QT usually does not have any problems with uncompressed avi. They are usually identified as "WRAW" in the MovieInfo window and when the header is viewed in a hex editor it has 4 zero bytes in the 3CC+ position. You might see if this Windows freeware will open the video and show a video frame. If so, try saving it from the "Save As Avi" in the file menu. I have never had any problem reading VDUB uncompressed avis (identified as RGB in the file info of VDUB) in QT Player: VirtualDub
If VDUB will not read it then you may need to choose a more standard codec when saving from the Roxio app.

Cannot encode 1920x1080 Uncompressed Microsoft AVI

My camera gives me MTS files, which I then almost always encode to an uncompressed avi at 1920x1080 1:1 pixel aspect ratio for editing purposes. However, suddenly and inexplicably, Premiere Pro and the Media Encoder have both decided that the upper limit is now 1620x1080. My original footage is 1920x1080, so this makes no sense. I've tried making sure the software is completely up to date, and this does not fix the problem.
Does anyone have any possible insight as to what might be going on and how it might be fixed?
Many thanks,
Matt F

Lemme guess... you didn't uncheck the Link Aspect Ratio button?
By the way, you probably don't want to use the Uncompressed MS AVI option; if you want an uncompressed file that will be a bit more compatible, select Microsoft AVI with the codec set to "None." Other options for losslessly compressed (and therefore smaller) AVIs would be the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec or the Ut Video Codec Suite.

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
much respect,
tommy bravo

After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

Resolution problems exporting to DVD

I am brand new to FCP 5 and everything I have learned has been within the past two weeks. I have read MANY posts on resolution settings, square pixels vs. retangular pixels, iDVD problems, exporting problems, etc. However I have not found an answer to my problem, but many helped.
I am currently trying to project video from a DVD. The projection needs to be an EXACT size. After exporting and viewing with projection in QT Fullscreen, the video is exactly what I want.
However, when I burn a DVD using iDVD and project it from a DVD player, the projection is slightly stretched horizontally. Why is that?
The sequence is originally from HD and the export settings are -
-Frame Size: 640x480 (4:3)
-Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1440x1080
-Exported using QT Conversion NO COMPRESSION
(There are many other combinations of frame size and pixel aspect ratio's that also work initially, but they project with the same problem.)
I had to have missed something.
ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Eric
Power MAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The footage did come from an HDV from Sony.
I use QT Conversion because if I export it as an QT Movie, the video is distorted. However, when exported through Quicktime conversion/quicktime movie/no compression, the movie is exported in the correct dimensions, though the DVD play back issue still persists.
I am running off of iDVD v 5.0.1 and could not find a place where I could choose a 16:9 option, if that is what you meant.
The sequence does include a PSD mask which was imported as a Layered Graphic Sequence. That shouldn't have any impact on the burning issue though.
