Trouble exporting to MPEG-2

Hi, I am having a lot of trouble exporting from FCP 4.5 to MPEG-2 for DVD Studio Pro. When I export a video, sometimes it looks as if it worked but sometimes the program unexpectedly quits. When it looks like it worked I try importing the file into DVD studio pro, but when I preview it, the bottom half of the screen is green, and this usually causes DVD Studio Pro to unexpectedly quit. I have tried exporting it as a quicktime movie to DVD studio pro and have it convert it while its burning the DVD, but that ends in the video having lots of artifacts and the green problem. If anyone has any suggestions it would be extremely helpful. Thanks. By the way, I have repaired permissions and trashed the preferences files of both programs.

Try this workflow:
- From FCP export your timeline as Quicktime Movie, self contained and same settings as your sequence.
- Take that movie into Compressor, select a MPEG2 preset that match your project lenght (I didn't find such information in your posts) and Dolby AC3 for your audio.
- Import those encoded files (MPEG2 and AC3) into DVDSP.
Post the results.

I am having trouble exporting closed captions from premiere cc 2014.

I am having trouble exporting closed captions from premiere cc 2014. I see them in the program monitor but after i export and try to playback in either quicktime or VLC i get to embedded captions. I eve tried the side car file and embedded with compressor and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
I only used compressor because i switched from final cut to adobe. easy fellas!

I have latest QT version, do i need to go back to 7? I have tried VLC also, i usually use that to check CC in mpeg files. I am exporting a QT H.264 for just testing purposes, I need a prores HQ, also this is SD so my sequences are set to 720x486.

Quicktime 7 does not export to mpeg-2

Hi,
Is this inherent to QT 7? I noticed it as a deficiency in Final Cut Pro 3.0.2, tracked it back to this version of QT. The export choices are the same although with different wording. Did not have this problem after a total hard disk crash which needed everything re-installed. FCP presumably with the QT version on disk. Updates on both FCP and QT 7 did not resolve this. FCP and QT 6 work fine in OS9; both have the mpeg-2 export option.
How can I get QT 7 in OS X to perform this export to mpeg-2 function?
Thanks, regards,

Hi Kirk,
Next related question : can we get around mpeg-2? It was needed for compressing from Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 and importing to DVD Studio Pro 1.5, no other compression is accepted. Are there updates for DVD Studio, e.g. for using mpeg-4, H.264 etc? By eliminating the mpeg-2 compression from Quicktime Apple have effectively rendered the use of FCP (3.0.2) and DVD Studio Pro 1.5 (in Tiger) useless; 1000$ for nothing. I can use these programs in OS 9 but not everybody has that option. You mentioned Toast as an alternative for mpeg-2. Which version? I have 6.11, had bad experience with version 7. Any advice?
Thanks, regards,
Reinhart

Premiere Pro CS5 - Media Encoder Crash when Exporting to MPEG-2

System:
Core i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
12GB DDR3 1600
External Sound Card - M-Audio ProFire 610
OS Drive - 2x300GB WD Raptors - Raid 0
Project Drives - 3x300 WD Raptor - Raid 0
Video Card - Geforce GTX 285 1GB
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 continually crashes or hangs every time I try to export to MPEG-2. I can successfully render to every other codec without any issue, but need the MPEG-2 for an Adobe Encore Project.
The project is approximately 38 minutes long and contains AVI and MP4 files, all of which were ripped from DVDs as I'm producing a reel for a producer who provided his DVDs for me to rip and use as content.
Possible issues:
1.   Currently have Magic DVD Ripper and DVD Fab installed (codec conflicts?)
2.   Originally ripped the DVDs at 630x360 (my mistake - hadn't really worked with a DVD ripper before and was the largest avi pre-set) and I'm exporting to MPEG-2 standard 720x480 Widescreen) (I know I should've just ripped them as the original lossless MPEG-2 files - I'm a tool)
2.   Blank space in the timline (there are a number of these)
I would like to get some input before I try to export to MPEG-2 again as I blew a capacitor on my old mother board (Gigabyte x58-ud3r) after I had gotten my computer to start rendering a MPEG-2 after about 50 tries to export/launch media encoder set on MPEG-2. I just installed my new motherboard to replace it. Clearly MPEG-2 taxes the system more so than any other codec (from what I can tell). However, I thought the issue with the blank space/no media in the timeline was fixed with CS5. I saw in a previous post that someone thought that ffdshow was conflicting with AME. I don't have ffdshow, but I believe that's a ripper program like Magic and DVDFab.

I experienced this at one point. Searching the WEB I saw suggestions that there was a problem with a recent version of Quicktime. (I have no idea why the quicktime player would have an impact.) However, reverting to an earlier version of Quicktime fixed the problem. Search this board using quicktime as a search phase. The quicktime web site allows you to download the earlier versions. I'm not at my editing machine, but I believe that I am at version 7.5.2.

Trouble Exporting to PDF

I am having trouble exporting one file to PDF. I try other indd files and they export prefectly fine. Just this one file. When I export it has the message "background task: Failed to export a PDF"
I try couple solution online that I find
1. Disable preflight and restart InDesign
2. Add the document to a new book and export from the book panel
The only think that I couldn't try is Disable background exporting.
I am having a little trouble there....I did create an empty ext file and save it as "DisableAsynExport.txt"
but I seem to have trouble going to the folder. It said that you need to go...
Mac: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app/Contents/MacOS/
When I got to Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app it opens the app instead of opening another folder... not sure if there is another way to open it.
So when I go to Mac: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/
It has Adobe Indesign CS5.5.app, Configuration folder, Documentation folder, Fonts folder, Legal folder, Plug-Ins folder, Presets folder, Scripts folder and Uninstall Adobe InDesign CS5.5
So I have not clue where the Contents/MacOS is??
Would be best is someone can help me....
Thank you so much!!!

If it failed from a book, it won't matter if you disable background export becasue books don't use it.

Trouble exporting interactive pdf´s

Hi!
I having som trouble exporting pdf from indesign cs6 using the interactive export option. In short my goal is to export a magazie file, about 80 pages to a pdf using srgb color space and medium res images to use on a website. I have previously used the interactive option in the export dialog box, since this option converts the file to a web freindly file. Now this crashes indesign. On page 64 everthing stops and I have to force quit ID. This have worked before, but now I have experienced the same problem on two different files. Does anyone have any clue to why this happens or any suggestions to a work around?
Thanks, Rune

This usually indicates theres a problem with something on a page. You can often isolate it using a divide and conquer strategy. Try exporting the front half of the file and the back half as separate PDFs. If either half fails, divide that in half and repeat until you are down to one page. Do the same with the objects onthe page (though it usually turns out to be an image).
If both halves export OK initially, then it's a problem of machine resources. Combine the two halves using Acrobat Pro.

Audio missing while exporting an MPEG 2 with Compressor

Hello There
I exported a sequence from a video project in Final Cut Pro, using Compressor. While exporting an MPEG 2, I get no audio on the video file. What do I need to do so the Audio is embedded with in the MPEG 2 file?
Thanks!

If you want to make a DVD-Video, then you'll need to import both files into DVD-SP for authoring.
If you want to make an MPEG-2 Program Stream or MPEG-2 Transport Stream, choose the appropriate DVD preset for your program length, duplicate the preset then alter the preset copy to make it produce a muxed (multiplexed) file.

EXPORTING IN MPEG-2

Why iMovie HD 6 can't export in MPEG-2 ? In older version, it could be possible to export in that format. Now, there is only the MPEG-4 format.
I want to export in MPEG-2 and use the movie in DVD Studio Pro.
MPEG-4 do the same job ?

In older version, it could be possible to export in that format.
older version of Toast (v4?) installed a mpeg2-export-plug-in into the QT Folder, to add this feature, iM never supports export to mpeg2 natively, because, as mish told you, that is done in the authoring/encoding apps...
mpeg4 is a web-delivery format...
you've spend 1200$ for your app, please "spend" another minutes of your lifetime for reading the manuals, you got with DVDSP...

Impossible to export a .mpeg (encoder CS6)

Hello,
When I try to export choosing mpeg (DVD) in premiere CS6, I always got a .AIF in Encoder CS6.
What's the matter ?
Thanks

I can't find any .m2v file in Adobe Media Encoder…
I'm confused by that statement. You don't 'find' anything in AME. You send your PP sequence to AME for export. Then you bring those assets into Encore for authoring.

Trouble exporting projects

So I'm having trouble exporting .. Final Cut just keeps crashing when I try most types of Exports. If I select Share -- Master file, I'll get a beach ball, and then it crashes. The same with Share -- Apple devices. When I do Share -- YouTube, it seems to work. But at the final step, it just does nothing. Just hit Publish and it goes back to the project with no status bar or anything.
Part of the error that I get when it crashes includes:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000d, 0x0000000000000000
I'm using 10.0.7. Any ideas of what might be going on and what I could do to correct? Thanks!

Here's a doc you may want to review. Tells how to trash preferences and reinstall the app, the first two things to try. BTW, "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility is a waste of time, it has never "fixed" anything.

Trouble Exporting Images from Lightroom 3

I am having trouble exporting images from Lightroom 3 with my User Presets. Error Message: The file could not be written. (1). It has always worked in the past but I just bought a new Mac and had everything transfered to it. Everything else seems to be workin fine. Any solutions?

Sometimes on new computers, the permissions in certain folders are not set up to allow you (the only user) to write files. It's worth a check.

I am having trouble exporting .raw files to an external storage device. Even though I export "original" they end up as jpeg files. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I am having trouble exporting .raw files from my Mac Book Air to an external storage device. Even though I am exporting as "original" they are being exported as jpegs. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Using the "original" setting is the correct way to do it. Select on of the photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. That will take you to the file inside the library via the Finder. Confirm that what you see if the raw file.
If it is then try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Trouble exporting to DVDSP from FCP5

I'm having trouble exporting my sequence into DVDSP4. I've tried using Quicktime Conversion and Quicktime but the sequence doesn't import into DVDSP and neither do the menue templattes. When I attempt to convert to Quicktime a message pops up with "data needs to be rendered first," although the red render bar isn't there. It's just grey in the bar area. What is going on here. HELP!!!
