Why Adobe media Encoder makes 3 files when export in MPEG2 ?

I try to compress a sequence using File-Export-Adobe Media Encoder -MPEG2-DVD. I want to reduce the size of my sequence (normaly exported as .AVI file) When done, I have 3 files: 1) .m2v 2) .Wav 3) .mcses
What are theses files ? Should I use something else to reduce the size of my files to fit on a 4.7G DVD...?
Thanks !
Franc St-Louis

The .m2v file contains the MPEG-2 video.
The .wav file contains the PCM (uncompressed) audio.
The .mcses file contains information about chapter markers.
Encore will use the MPEG-2 file "as is" and by default compress the PCM audio to Dolby Digital (AC3).
There are basically two options to make your project fit on a DVD:
Export a DV AVI file from Premiere and let Encore decide on the best compression settings "on automatic".
Do a bit budget calculation and use the bit rate numbers found in Premiere's Media Encoder.
To assist you with the bit budget you can use one of these online calculators:

  • Adobe Media Encoder and .TS files

    After updating the Adobe Media Encoder to the 2014.1 Release, every time I try to encode (convert) a .ts file I get audio issues post render no matter what I render out to.  It's only an issue when encoding (converting) .ts files.  I can convert an .mpg, .mov, etc. and it comes out fine.  Before this release I could render out .ts files just fine and had no issues.  Can someone help me understand what changed and why I can't convert .ts files anymore without getting distorted audio after converting?  The sound renders out as a reverb effect kind of like the audio was cut in space.
    All help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Still not working for me.  Please help?  I use Adobe Media Encoder on a daily basis.

  • Adobe Media Encoder and f4v files

    I have a bunch of f4v files that were created by FMLE 3.2 that I'd like to convert to a more usable format, but when trying to open them in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, I get an error that says:
    "The file <my file> could not be imported.  The source compression type is not supported."
    These are f4v files straight from FMLE, with h264 video and aac audio, and they play fine in VLC.  This is all running on Mac OS 10.8.
    What gives?  Can AME really not open f4v files from FMLE?

    Apparently not.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 + .MTS Files

    Greetings!
    In the past I have used Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert .mts files from my Canon Vixia HF200.  These were taken off an external hard drive, not in the original file structure.  I converted them to Quicktime H.264 and everything worked great. 
    However, now I have tried the same process with Adobe Media Encoder CS5, but now I get a message that the "Compression Type is Not Supported"
    I have tried multiple computers and reinstalled a few times.
    Has anyone seen this or do you have any suggestions?
    My Setup:
    Mac OS X 10.6.x
    Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.x
    Final Cut Studio 3
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I am having a similar problem. We have a client with .MTS files I need to convert into .mov. When I try to add one in it states that the Compression Type is not Supported.
    I have:
    CS5- Flash, InDesign, Illustrator, DW, Fireworks, Catalyst, PS, Adobe Reader, Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager. Nothing is a trial version.
    I don't have any of the other programs listed in the above post.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Add Metadata, Options to Open in Adobe Media Encoder for Video Files

    I was surprised to discover that some basic information about video files is not shown. For example, the duration of a QuickTime video is not shown.
    Also, there is no option to open an MOV file in Adobe Media Encoder.
    It would be nice to have this basic support for video.

  • Media Encoder error about activation when exporting in activated version of Premiere CS4

    I get the following error when I try to export media in Premiere CS4 (Note: I have a legal and activated copy of CS4 Master Collection). In Premiere, it appears to go through (the loading progress bar fills and then disappears) but when I check the folder, it's empty. And then I notice that there's another icon in my taskbar and oh hey, it says "AMT Subsystem Error: Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS5. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated. Please launch and activate that Adobe product before continuing to use Media Encoder."
    I'm using Windows 7 x64 (8gb of RAM). I tried installing the patch as suggested in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/719451 but it only claimed to not have the corresponding program installed. I tried checking to see if there were any updates - there weren't.
    A quick check on my computer reveals that both Media Encoder CS4 and CS5 are installed. I looked to see if there was a way to uninstall the CS5 version but didn't see it. The only way I think I could have gotten it was though some sort of Adobe update.
    Any ideas of how to fix this?

    Hi: I have the same problem, but it happened very suddenly and after very specific updates. I successfully encoded a file using the CS6 encoder. Then, I allowed updates to Adobe Media Player and Adobe Air. I tried to encode with CS6 again and it had stopped working - all in the space of 5 minutes. A reboot did not help. I also have CS4 and CS 5.5 installed and have had all along (which means that you can have them and use the CS6 encoder). Since I can no longer use the CS6 encoder, but am able to launch an older one, I am using that for the moment. I hope that this reply will be of some help in finding a solution.

  • Adobe Media Encoder will not lauch for export in Premiere Pro CS4

    Firstly, I can launch Adobe Media Encoder from Windows Explorer.
    So, stand-alone it works
    The problem is that is will not lauch if I click on a sequence
    and select Export Media.  No AME splash ever lauches,
    after  a few minutes I wait but have to click escape to get
    back to the sequence.
    Adode Link to Encore works fine.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Media Encoder: Finished .flv file doesn't show in finder

    I was working with Media Encoder, converting a 37-minute 8GB file into a .FLV, and while the program will go through all of the steps (no error messages, video shows in preview window, progress bar fills all the way) when the conversion is finished there is no file. I've checked all through my computer and the .flv file is not there, It doesn't even show that any new space is being taken up in the computer's memory.
    When I convert a 10 - 15 minute video, everything works fine, but I've tried this several times with the same result and I have no idea why?

    Is it anything to do with this?

  • Adobe Media Encoder different audio file to video file.

    Hello,
    I've been encoding files from several different DVD's and when I play the encoded file the video is correct but the audio is from a completely different file. This is I am assuming is because the file names on the DVD's are the same i.e. VTS_01_1.. etc. When I realised it was doing this I permanently deleted the incorrectly encoded files, sorted all of the correctly encoded files into seperate folders for each DVD. This did not work even though media encoder was creating new file names for each file it encoded. I then re-named all of the correct files and re-named the files that I was about to encode. I have also cleared the media cache database. The files on the DVD's are fine and play as they should with the correct audio. What do I need to do to get the files to encode with the correct audio?!!! Thank you!

    Try this - in Project Bin, right-click the clip in question and select "Make Offline". Then right-click again and choose "Link Media" and point it to the correct source file. Could be that the pointers got all confused as like you said, as sources had the same names.
    If that fails to resolve the problem - cleaning the Media Cache only works for projects that no longer exist, or are on a drive that is disconnected. Assuming that maybe the Conformed audio that is being used in the background is messed up, try this - close Premiere, then RENAME the project file, for instance add an "x" to beginning of filename. Now open Premiere (new project), then clean the cache again. Since it can't find your project, it should then remove all temp renders from the drive for that project.
    Next, rename project to original name and open and it should conform audio again as if just adding media for the first time. Hopefully for correct clips this time, if you have moved media around on drive to eliminate overlap of file names.

  • Media Encoder Freezing Up Mac When Exporting

    Hello,
    Not sure if this has started due to a recent Media Encoder update or from the fact that I've switched out my hard drive for a SSD model. It seems that now I can no longer use my Macbook Pro do do email or browse the web when exporting a video from either within Premiere Pro or from one queued in Media Encoder. When the export is in progress, the cpu usage on my Macbook is very low, yet I cannot use anything else. Once the encoding stops, all is fine again. The export preset I'm using is the H:264 same as source high bit rate. My source media and my output paths are both on an external Thunderbolt drive. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
    thx

    No one have any ideas on this? No one else with SSD drives on a Mac experiencing this?

  • Adobe Media Encoder missing

    Hi,
    i've installed Adobe Media Encoder CC; now Captivate, when exporting, doesn't find the path to convert videos.
    Is there a way to configure the new AME position?

    Hi Jerron
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I suspected that may be the reason. I have downloaded the latest update but that didn't add any additional format.
    No matter.
    Thanks anyway..

  • 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.
    Regards from Arie de Jong

  • Adobe Media Encoder won't open MPEG2 files

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping you can help me, I'm having some trouble with Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it won't open any MPEG2 files I throw at it.
    They all open fine in Media Player Classic, MPC-HC and VideoLan, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
    Any ideas greatfully appreciated.
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium
    AME CS4 4.2.0.006
    WinXP 64

    Jim Simon, one came from a creative production house and a couple  came from a website that provides various videos in various formats for  testing video players.
    Thanks for the information Colin Brougham.  Can any MPEG 2 importers/decoders be used?
    I'm  new to AME so perhaps I don't understand how it works entirely but on  the AME information page on the Adobe website it says that MPEG2 files  can be imported, and there is no mention of only being able to do so  with certain Adobe products (unless I missed it).
    However,  if I can open and play MPEG2 Files in various media players, surely  there is a way to use the decoders from those to work with AME?
    All advice greatly appreciated.

  • Adobe Media Encoder: introducing stairs (edge artifacts)

    Adobe Media Encoder: Is it fundamentally flawed?
    When exporting Flash content to video, I noticed that Adobe Media Encoder introduces artifacts around edges that have a sharp contrast. The problem does not seem to be affected by bitrate or other settings and if I frameserve the video from Premiere out to a command line encoder, the problem does not occur, which leads me to believe that there is a big problem within Adobe Media Encoder. Most users may not notice/experience the problem if they are dealing with live action footage, but if your project contains animation (esp. Flash animation), it is a HUGE issue, if you are trying to maintain picture quality.
    (Note: I've tried exporting on 3 separate hardware setups and I've even tried reverting to CS2 -> the problem exists in all of my tests)
    Can someone else confirm the problem? (The problem is clearly there when exporting to MPEG2, Windows Media)
    How to clearly recreate the problem
    In Adobe Flash
    Create a Flash project: 1280 x 720, 24fps, Stage Color: White
    Create two symbols: - a red circle with a thin hairline black stroke
    - a larger blue circle with a thicker black stroke
    Create 2 layers on the timeline, place an instance of each symbol on the timeline on separate layers and create a motion tween for each symbol so that they move both horizontally and vertically across the screen.
    Make the animation last at least 3-4 seconds and make sure the circles are not moving too fast.
    Set opposite easing values for each circle (one with 100, the other with -100)
    Export Movie... Bitmap Sequence...24 bit color, match screen.
    In Premiere, create a new project:
    Custom Settings:
    Editing Mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 24.00 frames/second
    Frame Size: 1280 x720
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square (1.0)
    Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
    Display Format 24 fps Timecode
    Import the bitmap sequence. Select the first file in the sequence and check Numbered Stills.
    Place the Flash footage into a sequence.
    Export...Adobe Media Encoder.
    Try the following preset settings:
    - MPEG2, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
    - Windows Media, HDTV 720p 24 High Quality
    - Quicktime, HDTV 720p 24

    Yeah, mp4 in HTML5 browsers is h.264 encoded - h.264 is a subset of MPEG-4 standard. More info here:
    H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    For ease of use in AME, if you look at the right side of the UI in the presets, the Web Video > YouTube presets are the ones that will encode to h.264 with the mp4 extension.
    hth,
    Joe
