No, the same problem. It goes a little longer then in the Windows Media encoding, but stops and give the same

"Unknown Error", as in the screenshot that I posted before.

And here is my log-file with all the attempts I've tried with different settings...

I dont think my computer is the one causing problems... Well, at least I hope so. You never know...do you?

I have just formatted and updgraded the computer... like 3 months ago.

It's an

Acer Aspire M5100

8.00 GB of RAM

Windows 7 64-bit

Processorseeds: 4

Total amount of Harddisc space: 1560 GB

C:/ - 107 GB free
I:/ - 118 GB free

L:/ - 807 GB free (brand new internal hard disc with 1TB, where I have everything that has to do with CS4 on)

Graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

Tota amount of available graphic card space: 3323 MB
Dedicated graphic card memory: 512 MB
Spilt systemmemory: 2811 MB
Graphic card driver version: 8.632.1.2000

Dirext X 10
Network card: Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Premiere Pro CS4 version: 4.2.1

Hi Harm!

- How do I update my video driver?

- I installed CS4 on the L: driver since it has most memory and is the fastest harddisc:

It's a Westen Digital Caviar Black Dualcore 1TB Sata2 3.5" 32MB Cache. The guys at the store told me it's one of the fastest on the market at the moment!

So... I've done the following:

Uninstalled CS4.

Re-installed it on C:

I updated the drivers...everything.

The project opens correctly, all the media is loaded properly, and the whole project runs perfect when you play the video.

Then, when exporting it.... It gets to a certain point... and boom... SAME PROBLEM:

I really dont know what more to do.....

....So, ButchMo, did you render any of your files through AE? 

Sorry, but I dont understand your question really? Can you explain more?

I always render everything in the timeline, before I export a project.

Oh, I see. No, I havent been using AE at all!

Next try:

- I started a new CS4 project

- I imported all the video and audio files

- I opened the "problem project" and copied the rest of the files in the Project window, such as titles etc.

- I opened the new project and pasted them there

- I opened the "problem project" again and copied everything in the timeline

- I opened the new project and pasted everything in the new timeline

- Everything imported correctly. It was just the redline in the whole timeline, so now I am renderring the whole time line, and at this moment its at 22% and its renderring...

To be continued...

....I see you are previewing the clip as you encode.  Have you tried turning that off ?

Yes, I have tried both with and without the preview!

I can't believe this... it went to aprox 50-55%... I thought it was going to make it... But no.... SAME PROBLEM...

I'm so helpless now....

At this moment I had to take a break from this.. Cause Im out of clues...

My friend and co-director of this video is a very succesful director and he has worked with this for over 20 years. Guess what program he is working with? Premiere Pro 1.5 !! He absolutaly hates the CS4, and calls it the Vista of Adobe... Is he correct?

He will help me with this tomorrow. He says he will find the way around this problem, like exporting it frame by frame or something... I have been trying over 40 hours last 4 days... And right now Im out of fuel...

I dont say it is but it could be the source of all your trouble: the wmvHD on the timeline.

Not a very good choice to edit wmvHD.

Your pc cannot handle the original files?

How long is this video?

I have also tried working with Quicktime files... Same error.

Well, when I started to work on this video 2 months ago, I didnt know that MTS files worked with CS4. I tried it before, and it didnt work. I guess that they fixed it later with the updates.

I tried to open a new project, and copy and paste the whole timeline from the old, and then replace the wmv files with the source mts files. But guess what? The video transitions disappeared!

The video is 5:38 long.

Ann Bens wrote:

 

Which sequence settings did you use for the wmv's and which settings have you got set for

the mts files?

Windows Media
Custom
Codec: Winows Media Video 9 Advanced
Endocing passes: Two

Birtrate mode: Variable Unconstrained
1280x720
Frame rate: 25
Square pixels (1.0)

Average birtrate: 5300

These are the settings I ALWAYS use when working with different videos.

And about the mts files, you mean what project I open, the new one?

Well, then I take the HDV 1080p 25 project.

the_wine_snob wrote:

 

The Transitions not coming over with a Copy/Paste. Sometimes, the Audio will die too, though you are replacing both the Audio and Video with the original files, so that should not be an issue for you. Just wanted to point out the issues with Copy/Paste.

 

Good luck,

 

Hunt

So, you are saying if I want to work with MTS, then I have to start over? (which I defenitely wont do... Not after 2 months of work...)

Tried with a different export settings now... The following result:
