    Error Message in Encore

    Schmidt_127_New Community Member

      Hello,

       

      I have been working with Encore for a few months now and have created 15-20 BD for our school.  I have not experienced any trouble.

       

      On my last BD project I try to import my video file as a timeline (m4v) that I rendered out of Pre Pro.  I get an error message that says:

       

      Stream type invalid

       

      I have re rendered mltiple times, using the MPEG2 blue ray preset as well with the same result.

       

      I turned down the bit rate on both thnking that it may have been too high for BD.

       

      I am at a loss for what has happened.

       

      I am using CS 5.5 with the latest update.

       

      Any help would be appreciated.

       

      Thanks

      Mike

          Create a new project and try to import a m4v that was successful in the past. If that is okay, create a new project and try your current problem one. If not okay, you can focus on the new one. You want to rule out a larger issue with your computer or the Encore installation.

            Stan,

             

            I created a new project and brought in an old m4v file and it imported correctly, no problems....I tried to bring my bad one into that project and gave me the same error message, then i created a completely new project and it would not bring it into that project either.

             

            I feel it has to be the file itself....I have not updated my system, added any codecs etc....no changes to machine.....

             

            I have changed from H264 blu ray to mpeg2 blu ray preset and neither worked.

             

            My original file in Premiere Pro is only 2 video layers and one audio layer.

             

            The original 4 clips from our camera (Panasonic AG-HMC 40)

            The associated audio file

            And one additional video layer that contains a small bug in the corner...

             

            This is a really simple project.

             

            In the export dialog box:

             

            Format:  H.264 Blu Ray

             

            Preset:  HDTV 1080i  29.97 This all matches the source footage//project settings etc...

             

            All of the other options match up to my source footage in the lower dialogue boxes.

             

            I selected VBR  1 Pass (i normally use CBR)

            24.99 for Maximum bit rate

            20 for target bit rate.

             

            I have rendered this video exactly like my other ones....

             

            Thanks,

              I would look further in PR. Corrupt clip? Export only work area, for half of sequence (or a small bit etc).
