importing 720p mpg file

Sep 6, 2012 9:24 AM

I am importing 720p mpg2 file into Encore CS4.  I am using Import Asset to pull in this footage.

This file is 1.7GB.

Encore crashes when I import this file.

One of the forum posting asks to update Roxio

http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/kb/General%20Information/ 000070GN&PARAMS=

 

I went to this site but this link doesn't work.

Any other thoughts how to make it work?

 

Thanks

    See if the link down on this page works. It appears to be a copy of the actual file.

     

    http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2009/10/cs4_and_windows_7.html

     

    I don't recall the problem being with file import, but who knows.

     

    Jeff, the link in the FAQ page is dead.

    Yes this patch worked now I have it imported. And when I hit the build -

    It said the "End Action is not set" - I have hunted all the menus.. I  think I am not seeing the option how to

    set this "End Action" for the timeline. It's there somewhere but I am unable to find it.


    Thanks

    Excellent.

     

    It should tell you which timeline or slideshow the end action is missing.

     

    Just select that timeline in the project panel. The look in the properties panel and find end action. Set it to last menu.

    Yes I got that step as well, I was able to set the end point etc.

    Now, I ran into a major issue when it started transcoding.

    It gave an error "Encode failed" and didn't have any error code or any other message.

    How can I get more information on this error message.

     

    Thanks

    I don't think that message gets any more specific.

     

    I can be a number of things, but, if you haven't already , since you had the various errors before, I would create a new project, with a new name, and do the Encore part all over.

     

    Are you doing a DVD or Bluray?

    I tried this and then I transcoded the mpeg2 to m2v in another program and when I brought that it in, it didn't have to transcode and then I burnt to DVD and it was OK

    Now, my question is can I edit m2v with audio in Encore? Hope so..

     

    Thanks

    Use Premiere Pro for editing... Encore is for authoring and writing to disc

    Sure but it was more to trim the video rather than edit. I mis-used the term..

    Hope I can trim the audio and video a bit in Encore.

    Thanks

    I understand, but trimming is editing.

     

    Encore will allow you to do this, but it leads to problems too often for us to recommend it.

     

    If you do attempt it, since it already transcoded, make sure any trims occur on gop boundaries, and that the video and audio are the same length.

    How do I make sure that the edit happens at the GOP boundaries. Is that when it snaps automatically when you try to crop?

    Or is there any other setting in Encore.

     

    I always end up getting some field reversal issues in premiere

     

    thanks

    I usually deal with this with chapter markers, since I don't trim in Encore. I find the place I want, then, in the monitor control window, use alt-frame advance which goes gop by gop.
