What has happend to Adobe Media Encoder in CS4?

I have been making short (5min to 10min) movies for the web for several years. I have used Premiere Pro CS3 and exported to FLV using the CS3 Adobe Media Encoder. The results have been excellent using 800kb/s at 25fps.
I then upgraded to Premiere Pro CS4 but cannot get anywhere near the same quality out of the new Adobe Media Encoder. I have tried many settings, including 2-pass and/or VBR as well as Single Pass CBR. What ever I try the resulting video quality is poorer than from CS3.
For the moment I am sticking with CS3 until I can find a solution. I hope I have not wasted my money on the upgrade.
Can anyone help?
Spok.

I have found in my testing that the Flash encoding options and the results are far superior to anything I ever got out of previous versions of this option in PPro CS3 and v2.0.
That being said, I always use Sorenson Squeeze. Wish Adobe could match the quality I get in Sorenson. It's closer than before, but the file sizes are still much bigger in AME and the quality is noticeably lower than what Squeeze can deliver.

Adobe Media Encoder (Pr CS4) encodes my videos without the effects of the plugins Genarts Sapp

Hello,
My Adobe Media Encoder (Premiere CS4) encodes my videos without the effects of the plugins Genarts Sapphire. I did not have this problem with CS2 and also he encodes all other plugins.
Do you know why? I really need to solve this serious issue.
Any help will be apprecieted,

OK, good. Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0 and look for two files called "Plugin Loading.log" and "Headless Plugin Loading.log" (without the quotes). These are just text documents, so open them up in Notepad or similar and compare the two; what you're looking for are references to your Sapphire plugins. What you'll probably find is that in "Plugin Loading.log", the plugins are loaded successfully--it will say something like "The plugin was successfully loaded from the registry."--whereas in "Headless Plugin Loading.log" the same plugin will be marked "The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded."
If you see that, let me know and I'll try to walk you through the steps of correcting it. If you like, I'd be happy to look at the log files; attach them to a reply here (they're small documents).

Adobe Media Encoder for CS4 error Could not read from the source

Hello,
I get an error when I try to export from Premiere CS4. It doesn't matter how I export. Seems like an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated:
- Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\ARTWHI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\extra and b roll.prproj

When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
Do one or both of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Close all Adobe applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Re-install your Adobe software.

Adobe Media Encoder in CS4

Hello. My name is Justin. I am currently going through the ADOBE FLASH CS4 REVEALED book by Jim Shuman, as a program at a local community college. I have the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. I am running this program on Microsoft Windows 7 x64, with 4 gb ram and a Core2 Duo processor at 2.27 GHz.
I am going through the content of the book, and in chapter 5, lesson 3, we were to use the encoder to encode a fireworks.mov file. (p5-14)
I proceed through the steps described in the book. Upon opening the fl5_3.fla , I first select default fonts as I don't have the called for font. After making a new layer named video and clicking frame 1 of the said layer. I click File > Import > Import Video. I get the wizard window popped up. I click on the Embed FLV tic, and browse to the data folder.I select the file and click open. This is where I encounter the 1st error.
"The video format you have selected is not valid for embedded video. Please select an FLV file."
I click OK. And then click Launch Adobe Media Encoder button. I recieve a second error.
"The file"(location)" could not be imported by Adobe Media Encoder" .
I have tried to import it from various locations on my hard drive, and from the data disk itself. Adobe is said to be fully updated.
I encounter this problem again in a later lesson in the Skills Review on page 5-40.
Another thing to note is that when I choose to manually add an item in the que of the encoder, I do not get to initially see the .mov file until selecting the ALL option under the File type drop down scroll box.
Any help in a timely manner would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
- Justin

I could really use some help on this . . .
Could it be a codec is missing or something?
Does anyone know of another way I can get help if not from here?
Thanks.

What has happened to Adobe Media Player

There are probably better forums for this post however. It appeats that no one is using or posting or answering in some of the more minor areas of the forum. Where is the best place to get help on Adobe Media Player/Adobe TV. I am simply trying to find a way to download and watch the training videos offline. Any suggestions that work would be helpful. It appears the media player is pulled.

The Adobe Media Player forum is here, and it should be the best way to obtain help on the use of the program:

If you cannot obtain help there, I am afraid you are out of luck. This particula forum is only for discussions on the forums themselves.

Exporting in Adobe Media Encoder fails in CS4 after CS3 is removed.

There's an issue with Adobe Media Encoder in CS4 where encoding will fail after CS3 is uninstalled.
If you never had CS3 installed on your machine - no problem.
If you never had CS3 and CS4 installed at the same time - no problem.
If you had CS3 and CS4 installed concurrently, then uninstalled CS3 - Houston, you have a problem.
You will need to uninstall CS4 and then reinstall CS4.
The error message is:
Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
One more thing I forgot to mention, this is a Win-only issue.

>Does anyone understand this?
Simple:
1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "dynamiclinkmanager.exe"
2. Open a
second Windows Explorer window and navigate to the folder that contains "Premiere.exe"
3. Arrange the windows side by side.
4. Right-click on "Premiere.exe" and drag to the first explorer window, targeting between the files so as to avoid any specific file.
5. Release the right-hand mouse button.
6. Select "create shortcut here" from the pop-up menu.

Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.2 Update Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

So, I get this strange error when I try to update AME CC 7.2.2. What to do?
Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.2 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

[ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
AME:lle ei ole omaa unistalleria, vaan sen asentavat muut CC:n ohjelmat käyttöönsä.
Mulla ei onnistunut ID CC:n ja Premierin päivitys. Niihin olisi ollut tulossa vain tuo AME:n päivitysosa. Ainakin mulla ongelmia näytti aiheuttavan MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework, joka esti AME:n päivittämisen. Poistin sen käsin AME:n sisältä.
Poistin Premieren (uninstall) ja asensin sen uudestaan. Buuttasin koneen. Sen jälkeen molempien päivitys onnistui.
There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.

Where is the De-interlace in Adobe Media Encoder CS4?

How do you de-interlace video Using the Adobe Media Encoder in CS4? In CS3 there was a de-interlace check box in the video Output Tab but there is not one in CS4?
I am using 720x486 SD interlaced 29.97fps footage editing it and exporting the final product to flash flv.
Thank you!
Joe

Deinterlacing is now automatically applied if the source and the destination differ as far as their field order is concerned. In other words:
Interlaced source --> interlaced destination = no deinterlacing
Progressive source --> progressive destination = no deinterlacing
Interlaced source --> progressive destination = automatic deinterlacing
The Field Order option in the output setting determines whether deinterlacing is applied. Be sure to check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" option in the fly-out menu; it will take 4-5 times longer to render, but with better results.

What happened to Adobe Media Encoder???

Adobe Media Encoder has disappeared from the CC list of apps available, and I need to reinstall. What happened to it?

I have Windows 7, HP elitebook 8560w laptop - my video drivers crashed, which caused problems with any software that used them. So I've been uninstalling, and re-installing apps but Media Encoder is no longer in the list on my CC desktop app.
I looked at my video box (also win 7, an HP z820 tower, not a laptop) and it's not on the list in the CC app for that one either. That box is fine, no issues, and media encoder is installed, but it does not show up in the list of installed apps.
Was there a change that does not let you install Media Encoder as a seperate app? Does it now only come with other CC video apps?
thanks for your help!

Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) has encountered an error (WinFile.cpp-759)

I have a 714 MB Xvid file that I want to split into smaller pieces. I have gone successfully through a similar process earlier with a larger Xvid file using the same version of Adobe Media Encoder (CS5). It appears that no matter which output video format I choose, the process crashes with the following error message shown in a new pop-up dialog:
"Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error. [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-759].
(Even the source program file line number 759 in the above error message is always the same, regardless of my chosen output file format.)
The only option available from this point onwards is the "Continue" button. When I click Continue the program terminates with the Windows program crash message "Adobe Media Encoder CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. <Debug> / <Close program>"
My search for other similar problem reports revealed that some user(s) has/have experienced a very similar problem in CS4, but the source line number was slightly different in CS4. Both problems are probably caused by the same error in Adobe's software. The small difference in source line numbers is probably due to some (minor) and probably unrelated changes to this C++ source module (WinFile.cpp).
It might of course be the case that this particular input video file has some rare encoding or other embedded problem. However, the fact that I can view the video without problems using Windows Media Player does not support this theory.
Apart from this message board I could not find any other avenue to report this bug to Adobe (without paying for support - which I am obviously not going to do as this is clearly a programming bug in the software). Hopefully some Adobe developer responsible for Media Encoder maintenance will read this forum from time to time and would subsequently inspect the source module for any obvious defects. I could supply the source video file with which this problem can be reproduced at will.

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 doesn't work anymore (WHY? WHAT's WRONG?)

The system I use is Adobe Production Premium CS5.
I have often used Adobe Media Encoder CS5 started from the export of a film sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
On the 31st of December 2013 my computer crashed and dumped more or less at the end of a process of Adobe Media Encoder CS5. There was no complete output.
Since then this program Adobe Media Encoder CS5 cannot start up anymore.
It stops at the start-up saying that the program does not work anymore and that there will be looked for a solution. But then it finishes saying that it will be reported if a solution becomes available in the future.
I have tried the following:
- Run Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (exe) from directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
- Stop security control AVG while not online with internet => run Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
- Reinstalled complete Production Premium CS5 suite => same problem.
- Removed complete directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 and then reinstalled Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 => the full directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS5 with contents was there after the install, but subsequent running of Adobe Media Encoder CS5 => same problem.
- Removed complete contents of D:\mediacache\database\Media Cache and D:\mediacache\Media Cache Files => same problem.
What more can I do ??????
I would be very grateful for a solution.
Regards, Arie de Jong, Rotterdam

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much for the suggestions for a solution. First I considered
re-installing Win 7 Pro, because I did not have a fall-back point
predefined. So I could not try to reload a previous system environment. But
for your information the following.
Yesterday my son suggested that there could be some corruption in a control
file of Adobe Media Encoder, because re-installing that program did not
give a solution. Obviously that then would have to be a file which is not
affected by a program re-install.
What he then did for me is to remove directory
Users\owner\ AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder (he actually
renamed it to hide that directory for Media Encoder).
Thereafter we ran program Media Encoder from Premiere. The result was that
a new directory ......\ Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder with proper
control files was automatically generated and the problem was solved.
