  Unable to encode out a video

  Posted by Perry Cheng on July 22, 2008 at 11:38 pm

  All,
  I have a Video source 1280×720 w/ a slightly strange Frame rate of 59.74 (or something like that instead of 60 or 59.97). The preview is fine, edit fine, but when render out via Adobe Encoder to H.264, it crashed at the end by giving me an “output error” (very generic message). I can see all the aac, m4v, mp4 files are there, but somehow adobe is not able compile them together. I simpy chose the presets, no even changing anything, it gave the same error. I tried render portion of it, sometime it renders but most of the time, it crashed. I tried to render it to various frame rate, nothing works. Same “output error”. Any idea?

  Sincerely,
  Perry

  Do your project settings match your output settings? Try using after effects to output the file with a more conventional frame rate and then import this into Premiere.

  Yes, the setting matches except the frame rate. Just to clarify, the footage (original) frame rate is 59.96 and Prem Pro outframe rate is 59.94. Is this the same or is there really some difference?

  One suspicion: could the Camcorder (AIPTEK HD) produce somewhat incomplete i-frame or something like that? This is because when I render with the same settings, just for a few minutes length, sometime it renders ok, some time it gave this “unknown error”. I did not pay much attention to it until I downloaded trial version of TMPGENC and when it imports, it alert me something about the i-frame is off or something like that message. I am trying to render -1 frame now and see if that makes a difference.

  Anyone like to chime in?

  Sincerely,
  Perry

  Not too many people plays with HD yet, looks like. Any how, I just want to share with you that I was able to successfully render out at least once now, I will try again later. The way I did was to cut out 1 frame at the end of the timeline. I think I understand what’s happening, but, I wish there is a way to avoid that all together. I may play with Interpret footage part…

  Best wish,
  Perry
