‘Could not read from the source’ error
Hello,
I have been having a problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 since I upgraded to Snow Leopard and added a second HD to my Mac Pro. Before that, everything worked perfectly.
I am cutting up 2 hour AVI files into short segments (~10-15 minutes each). I export the individual files, and the first one always works fine, but after that, the rest in the queue get the error message ‘Could not read from the source’.
I have repaired the disk permissions, checked for the plugins in HD/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common and there are none there to remove, plus I have never installed any plug-ins.
I have completely uninstalled CS3 and CS4 from my computer, reinstalled CS4, ran all my system and Adobe updates and nothing is working to fix this problem! Please help… Here is the error for my last failed export:
– Source File: /Users/juliamoore/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/tape1_redo_w_cuts_12.prproj
– Output File: /Volumes/My Book/TAP/tape1 redo/TAP014_redo.mpg
– Preset Used: Custom
– Video:

– Encoding Time: 00:10:07

u need to do a trial and error for this type
while u r capturing just try changing ur camera or the recorder it might have problems (the reason is while capturing sometime the frames r skipped and while u r on the shoot just give some blanks in between the footage which is to be cut and premiere has a facility to cut the footage where the blanks are and premiere or any software captures with the flaws in it but while encoding/exporting this errors cannot be compiled or just cut the part of the video from where the problem starts or capture all of them seperately)
so try this if it dont solve i will give u another option

I am capturing from VHS into Pinnacle (version 9 or 10 I believe) into AVI format. I unfortunately do not have the option to buy a new capture card or new capture software.
This problem ONLY occurred after I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before that, I had some issues with MPEG-2 file format dropping frames and resulting in the audio being out of sync when I exported the videos, however they still exported fine. I have never had an issue with Adobe Media Encoder until I upgraded my OS.
Since the upgrade, only the first video will encode and I get the same error for everything else in the queue. If I wait until a video is finished encoding and then begin a new one, it works fine. But no videos except the first in a queue will work.

hi
try recording with other vcr if u have spare one, pinnacle has an option i will have to install it to tell u what the option is, but there is an option saying something like “record with errors of donot skip on blanks” please try the go in preferences of the recording video
you may find it there, check for fungus on ur vcr of cassette if its a hardware issue it might be because of that.i thing the problem is not with the OS. also check is there any upgrade or new driver for pinnacle for this OS(Snow Leopard)i would like to know whether this happens with this particular cassette or the problem is with other cassettes too.

I have captured many videos and edited many of them in Premiere (about 40 VHS tapes). As soon as I upgraded to snow leopard, it stopped working. I am actually encoding files now. If I do one at a time, everything works fine. If I create a queue of exports in Media Encoder, all of the videos except for the first one fails.
The computer I am editing the videos on is not the same computer I capture on, so I don’t think it’s a problem with the drivers. It really seems to be something with my OS since I can edit and export the files fine on the Windows computer at work (which is usually unavailable). Only on my home Mac does this problem with Media Encoder occur.
