    Stream type is invalid for one PC not other

    Cavemandude Community Member

      One of my 4 PC's with Premiere CS6 is now exporting MPEG-2 videos files that can't be loaded into Encore CS6. A window pops up in Encore that states "Stream type is invalid" but it does load the associated AC3 audio file. I've been using CS6 since it was released and export MPEG-2 files to make DVD's for almost all my projects and never had this happen. I also loaded a recent project on this same PC that I made a DVD from and it will load that old MPEG-2 file into Encore but if I re-export the MPEG-2 file now with the same export settings, the MPEG-2 video will not load into Encore and the "Invalid" window pops up. Any ideas?


      Just to add to this. I took the MPEG-2 file from that PC and was able to load it into Encore on one of my other PC's so it looks like an Encore problem specific to that one PC only. Reinstall Encore?

       

      Now when Premiere CS6 exports MPEG-2 DVD files it also creates 2 support files that have info like where the chapter points are. When I copied just the video tile to a new folder without the 2 support files, I was able to load that video file into Encore. Problem with that is I need those support files since I have chapter points added in Premiere. Did a recent update make Premiere CS6 no longer compatible with Encore CS6 since Adobe did change these how these support files are made in CC?

       

      Both PC's have the same/latest version of Premiere and Encore CS6 installed yet I was able to load the exported MPEG-2 video with the 2 support files into Encore on the 2nd PC and see the chapter points in the Encore timeline but still shows it as an invalid stream on the 1st PC.
