Adobe Media Encoder in CS2 no likey FLV (On2VP6)!
Searched around, apparently this problem hasn’t been asked/addressed yet: I’m running Premiere Pro 2.0 in CS2 and trying to export video to Flash through Adobe media Encoder. The encoding (and QT export to FLV) appears to work fine, but when I just click on the file in Windows Explorer, Explorer shuts down immediately. PPro and any other progs continue running just fine. Also tried opening the FLV w/ Media Player Classic, but it too shut down immediately.
I also tried exporting to a diff format through AME; QT (apple animation codec) worked fine; FLV w/ Spark codec encoded but when I click on it, only audio plays (But it still doesn’t crash like FLV encoded w/ on2 does). Am running QT plyr 7.3. Had a standalone version of PPro earlier and it would export FLVs just fine.
What’s the problem??

Your Flash clips are probably fine. Download the Wimpy FLV player (wimpyplayer.com) and drag your FLV files into the viewer. FLV files won’t play on the stock media players.

If it turns out your flash clips are in fact not working correctly, I’d download some flash encoding software seperately, then convert to flash from a master movie exported out of Premiere – normally best to do this anyway; Premiere is a great editing tool but isn’t designed to be used as compression software, and a more bespoke programme will no doubt give you better results.

Huh? What would lead you to believe that Premiere isn’t a good compression tool? This has to be one of it’s strong points, despite it’s lack of batch processing. By the way, I export FLVs from PPRO CS3 and AE all the time (with no issues).

Agreed – although my flv’s don’t crash my system. Possibly you have something inappropriate associated with the flv file type. Right click – open with – choose program etc. Remove whatver association there is. VLC media player works for me – or a custom player created in Flash itself.

Right-O!! Turns out I had changed the merit value of FFDshow Video decoder to Do Not Use earlier when adjusting my direct show filters so that MPEG2 files would load in After Effects, and guess I changed ffdshow vid codec as well. Turned it back to Normal, and now my FLV clips play in Windows Media Player (they work there when you got all the kazaa lite filters goin) as before.
Thx for the help-O!
