Video Playback is screwed up in Premiere since attempting Blu-Ray

I am completely at my wits end.
I have been using Premiere for years with very little problems that I could not fix myself until now.
My system had CS2 and CS4 loaded and working fine...no problems. Any video I either captured and/or imported played fine...complete editing process great...just completed 5 projects just prior to the following...
UNTIL I decided to put a Blu-Ray burner in my system and export out via the Bridge to Encore. Well, mistake, it started maxing out my processor for hours before locking up and I had to shut down my system.
When I brought it back up now I can't open any previous Encore projects without running into PProHeadless error over and over again until I have to just close Encore. It will only allow me to start a new project and even it acts up.
Also, and most importantly, when I open projects, new or old, in Premiere now video is more richly defined in the windows (color & resolution...sharper) but they are jerky and rippling where they previously were softer but correctly playing and when I attempt to use the external monitor setting it it becomes very choppy---audio is correct but video is'nt. I have checked these files in several other players on my system (WinXP Pro SP3 P4 3.0 4GB Ram) and they play fine, just like they use to in Premiere but when I play them in Premiere...no more.
I don't know what I have done
I had a wedding that was originally originally sequenced in NTSC DV48 widescreen and attempted to link it out to Encore to burn as Blu-Ray H.264, 1920x1080 when all this started.
I have done all I know including uninstalling ALL Adobe software on my system, clearing my registry and re-installing to now avail.
I have never had problems like this before...
The scary part is I just purchased CS5 and am researching building a new Quadcore i7 but if i am having these kinds of problems with CS4 I'm thinking Mac and Finalcut Pro (really don't want to go there)
I have researxhed everywhere concerning the PProHeadless problem with absolutely no answers that can fix that problem either.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm dying here...!?

Jeff, thanks for sticking with me...
Disabling the bluray drive reverted everything back although it is not running as smoothly as before so I can get in to Encore projects although they are erroring out and shutting down the program whenever I attempt to image in bluray...haven't attempted to image in standard DVD yet.
Right now I am attempting to export a project from Premiere as a bluray so the encoder is running it...
Will I ALWAYS need to disable the bluray drive anytime I am not running bluray projects in order to get into the standard DVD projects?
About the monitor, CS5 has a selection for adjusting run resloution but I don't know if or where the adjustment would be in CS4. As I said before I did not need to adjust the resolution before this happened.

Premiere Elements 9 - blu-ray insufficient disc space for burning

Hi
I have just upgraded to PE 9 with the hope that it would have less problems than 7 - it appears I am wrong
Having got over the "chapter overflow" problem I am now faced with a new one that i cannot find a thread for.
I have a video that is 2 hours 45 min long.
I want to burn it to blu-ray.
I select "fit contents to available space" the program reduces the size to 23.3Gb BUT does not remove the warning so i cannot do the burn.
I have successfully burnt 2 Blu-ray discs where the content did not need to be made smaller.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
Michael

The file is to big for the disc, but that is why the fit content to available space tick box is there.
It does show that the size will be reduced and what the new reduced bit rate will be.
The problem is that the error message does not remove it's self so the burn button does not activate.

Premiere Pro CS4 - Blu Ray bearbeiten

Hallo,
ich habe eine kurze Frage und zwar:
Ich habe mir einen BluRay-Film auf den Pc besorgt, im ".mkv" Format,
(was mir leider nicht viel sagt, da ich das erste mal damit zutun habe)
und jetzt wollte ich diesen Film mit Premiere Pro bearbeiten,
doch er versteht den Format nicht, gibt es einen Codec,
oder eine Möglichkeit es möglich zu machen?
danke für die Antworten

an der Leistung kann es sicherlich nicht liegen.
Was für'ne Grafikkarte? Könnte alles entscheiden. Generell deuten solche starken Probleme auch oft auf Hardwaredefekte hin, also gleich mal in die Kiste reinguggen, ob die Karte überhaupt fest im Slot sitzt oder irgendwelche sonstigen verdächtigen Anzeichen zeigt.

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
I haven’t been able to find any.
Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.

Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
Regarding QuickTime.
Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.
Back to DVDs.

Resources for Using Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore to author Blu Ray DVDs

I am getting ready to author some Blu Ray DVDs consisting of HD video of various aspect ratios and formats on the same disc. I have Premiere Pro sequences that are either 720p30 and 1080i (60i). The 720p video is 1280x720 (1.0) 60fps. The 1080 footage is mixed with some of the 1080i (60i) sequence video being 1440x1080 (1.3333) at 29.97 fps and some at 1920x1080 (1.0) at 29.97 fps. I haven't mixed the formats into the same project. I've kept them in separate projects because I'm unsure what would happen on export and whether I'd suffer degredation of one or the other if I dumped them together into the same timeline.
The final Blu-Ray project would consist of a bunch of menu items with each item going to a specific exported video of a specific format and/or aspect ratio. After playing around the Media Encoder for a couple of hours looking for an export setting that would preserve the video quality as close as possible to the original source video, I've settled on using the MPEG-2 Blu-Ray format using either the HDTV 1080i High Quality or the HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality presets, depending on the format of the original video that I'm compiling.
Before I start firing up Media Encoder though, I need to figure out a couple of things pertaining to authoring Blu-Ray and what I can and cannot do. For example, can I have mixed formats on the same disk (720p and 1080i) as long as the the 720p video exists in one file and the 1080i exists in a different file? Looking over the Blu-Ray settings in Encore CS4 it's not clear to me and so far I've found nothing in the help file that says definitively that I can't have multiple file formats/aspect ratios/frame rates in the same project, though the way the New Project menu functions it suggests I can't.
Another question I have is would it behoove me to upgrade to CS5 or does it not make a difference whether I use CS4 or CS5 in terms of trying to accomplish what I want to accomplish? And if anyone can point me to other resources on this subject, that would be helpful as well. Thanks.

I use BD-RE disks.
First i make an iso and test it on the pc. (virtual clone drive and Power dvd)
Then burn with Nero to RE and test it on a standalone BD player.
If the RE passes the test i burn the iso to BD disk again with Nero (i am still on version 7)

Blu Ray doesn't play 1 of 3 videos on disc

I desperately need some help with an issue I am having with a Blu Ray I created with Adobe Encore CS5 for PC.
I have three videos on there but only 2 of the videos play when viewed in a home theater style Blu Ray player.
All three videos were created in Adobe PP CS5 and exported with the same exact settings (H.264 Blu Ray) but one video on the disc has a black screen when played. The audio plays in the background, though. The odd thing about this is the disc plays perfectly on my two Blu Ray drives at home but my client informed me about the issue with three of their players. I then tested it at a friends on their player and saw the issue.
I set up the whole project in encore and it test builds with no issues. It's also showing that my videos were transcoded fine since it doesn't default to transcoding them through Encore (see image).
I can't figure out what the heck is going on but it's driving me crazy that 2/3 of the disc is flawless but the first video on there doesn't work on home theater players.
Anybody hear of this before??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply.
One timeline is strictly audio (it was a wedding and they asked for their ceremony audio).
I'm not sure why the one audio is unstranscoded. This last round of re-transcoding I did vbr 2 pass but other than that I stuck with H.264 Blu Ray options in Media Encoder. The FINAL.m4v is the video that isn't playing but the audio FINAL.wav does play (the one that is listed as unstranscoded)
I'm going to give it another round of transcoding tonight to see what happens.

How can I playback blu-ray .img files generated by Final Cut Pro X?

When I share a Final Cut Pro X project in Blu-ray and I set the output device as Hard drive (blu-ray), it creates a blu-ray image with a .img extension.
By the way, the project's clips are AVCHD (.mts extension) and the settings are set to 1080i (1440x1080 25i).
My question is: can I playback this file without having to burn a blu-ray disc?
I've been looking for information, and some people seems to playback blu-ray .iso files.
And: would Compressor 4 solve my problem? (is there anyway in Compressor to create a .iso image or something easier to play?).
By the way, I do have access to both Windows and Mac computers.
Thanks in advance,
Pol

Thanks for the answer.
If you own Compressor 4, could you tell me if it includes an option to generate a .iso file instead of a .img?
(here's information on how to playback a .iso).
Thanks,

No video playback in premiere elements 12

No playback after a few mins of editing. Tried most of the potion in the adobe troubleshooting section (http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-digital-video-playback-premiere-2 .html) but never got anywhere. Most options listed are for Windows. I have an almost new Mac with all the system requirement to run Elements 12 . HELP, PLEASE

bjgarciac
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I do try to find common ground between Premiere Elements 12 Windows and Mac as a first pass at troubleshooting issues like the one your present.
1. What are the properties and duration of your source media?
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame Size
File Extension
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Brand/Model/Settings for Camera which recorded the video would help.
2. What did you or the program set as the project preset based on a match of project preset with properties of the source media?
3. What have you done in the way of edits after which you have problems? What is the duration of the TImeline at that point? Is this a multi track project?
Please explain "playback stops"
a. The TImeline Indicator will not move from the start of the Timeline when you press Play in the Edit area monitor?
b. Playback stops after playing back about few seconds of the Timeline content
c. Other
Do you have the Work Area Bar gray tabs set to span the whole content of the Timeline?
When you are playing back your Timeline in the Edit area monitor, does your Timeline content have an orange, green, or no colored line
over its duration?
4. Are you running a dual or single computer monitor setup? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Playback Quality is there any
difference in the problem whether you set for Highest instead of Automatic?
5. For this type of video and this type of project, would you class this problem as
"it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before".
Thank you.

I have no video playback in Premiere

Hi There,
I'm without any video playback in Premiere and Speed Grade (Though have never used this program before).

After much agony I finally got Premiere to work and edited a piece. Though have come back about 2 weeks later and cant get any playback again??? Though turning the Mercury Playback engine to software only etc. doesn't seem to be working.
I'm quite enjoying paying my membership fees without being able to use the programs and cant get any response from trying to chat with Adobe help.
System Specs:
Windows 8 (64 Bit)
Nvidia Geoforce GTX 660M
16GB of RAM
Two SSD HD's
I7-3740QM Processor
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

My laptop's specs are as follows:
Toshiba notebook

8gb RAM
500+ gb free space
Windows 8 64
Latest Intel display drivers installed
The video files I am importing in my sequence are .mov files, 1920x1088 @ 23 FPS.

Video rendering and playback option greyed out on Premiere Pro CC 2014

I cannot even click on the Video rendering and playback drop down menu as it is greyed out.
I have a GeForce GTX 660 2GB card which should be supported as it has enough memory. I am on Windows 7.
Would really appreciate if someone has a solution how to enable Mercury Playback Engine in this situation.

Managed to fix the problem by downloading and installing the GeForce CUDA drivers as well as updating graphics card firmware.
The Mercury Playback engine enabled itself in premiere after the updates.

I'm having a playback issue. Premiere CC is running smoothly at first, but the moment I render effects I lose video playback. I can still hear audio, but no video. I only regain video after Force Quitting. Thoughts?
