FLV encode crashing / PP2
I have a 9 minute sequence…relative simple…800×600, 24fps, bunch of cuts, some color correction. Everything is rendered, although the encoder seems to want to re-render everything.
ANYWAY, the real problem is exporting a 640×480, 10fps, FLV-ON2VP6 variant of it. The process gets half way through and then the encoder crashes…something about UNABLE TO INITALIZE CODEC. The actual FLV encoding process did start since there is a half a FLV file on the drive, and the video plays up to a point, then just audio.
Any ideas? Could this be a memory leak issue in Premier Pro 2?
I need to use Premiere’s built in encoder due some limitations in the source codec of the file. It can only be used from the source once. An intermediate file format like QT ANIM or AVI UNCOMPRESSED as a sub master for Sorenson Squeeze, will not work.

I haven’t had any problems with the encoder at all. What are your project settings and export settings?

What version of QT are you using? If it is not the latest, upgrade it to 7.04.

Well, interesting you would mention that. I did upgrade QT as soon as I noticed Premiere Pro 2 is caching a temporary uncompressed QT to create the FLV from. I also noticed that this general error is similar to one you might have when you are running out of disk space.
Then it occured to me that the external FW drive I was trying to save this FLV to was formatted FAT32, which is going to limit file size and crashed the process when the intermediate QT exceded 4GB. The QT is cached here on the destination partition, not where PP2’s scratch disk is set.
Easy fix, I am using a NTFS partition to complete the process without issue.
A very basic computing problem, which bit me in the tail.
Thank you for your reply.
