2-pass encodes failing in Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Mac
Just updated Adobe media encoder CS5 to v5.0.1.0(64-bit)
Now when I do 2-pass transcodes from ProRes QT to f4v it fails with “Encoding Failed. Unknown eror.”
Changing f4v preset to “1-pass” works.
Have restarted, reset PRAM, fixed permissions & crossed my fingers…. but still no luck with 2-pass.
Anyone else having this problem?
Better yet, anyone have a fix.Thanks in advance.

I had this exact same problem.
Adobe rep said it’s a known issue and the only way is to
-Uninstall Adobe Suite
-Restart
-Reinstall Adobe SuiteThey said it’s a problem with the Dynamic Link….and that they’ve fixed it on PC, but don’t have a Mac fix.
For me, that’s like a death sentence. With all my plugins and scripts…it takes a full day to do a reinstall.
I’ve been using Quicktime Pro, limping along….

Thanks for your response.
Have to say their solution seems heavy handed.
I was hoping it would be as easy as deleting a preference file or something.Did they say you have to reinstall the entire suite? or will a custom install of just AME do the trick?

Entire suite!
With all my plugins, scripts, etc…for AE, Flash, PSD…that would take me a full day.
I’m thinking of buying DV Kitchen.
Over the past 5-7 years… Adobe seems to get sloppier and sloppier about all kinds of things.
My hunch is that it’s their increased reliance on cheap Indian programmers.

wow.
Well, CBR still works in AME & I have Squeeze loaded on my machine… I’ll give that a try for the f4v files and see how it does.
Think I should re-install the whole suite anyhow?
You know, something else might be screwed up and It just hasn’t reared it’s ugly head yet.Thanks for your help.

I can’t give you a recommendation.
But for me…I’ll only reinstall the whole Suite if I’m cornered into it. (takes forever)

Just found this on the Adobe forum.

I deleted the AME folder from my machine and did a reinstall of just AME from my original disc.
2-pass transcodes to f4v are now working as expected.
I did not have to reinstall the entire suite.
Mac OSX 10.6.4
Production Premium Suite CS5AME now shows up as v 5.0.0.402
