Encoding problems
Ok time for some professional help. I have been trying to encode a 55 minute long project to an MPEG 2 file to import into Encore. I sent it ou as a 4mb 2 pass and got a dropped frame message. I searched the archives and down loaded the recommended updates. MPEG Encoder 1.1, Windows KB886716, as well as the Premier Pro 1.5.1 update. It now encodes the 4mb 2 pass OK but the action scenes are jittery. I set the encoder to 7mb 2 pass and got an “unknown error”. The best I can encode with out an “error” or “dropped frame” message is 7mb 1 pass which still leaves my action shots jittery. It is taking 4 -5 hours for each encoder try and I have wasted two days trying to figure it out. I have a new system so it could be a setting I am not aware of. Can anyone please put me out of my misery?

sorry I can’t help you but suggest you test using a short segment of your program – 1 minute or less – until you get it working. you may still have a problem with the whole thing but then you’ll know it’s the length and not the settings.

is it jittery on a tv monitor, or just on a computer monitor?

Its jittery on both. I did a DVD burn as well and it carried out to the DVD.

Following Charlie’s advise I picked a short action section and set everything to max quality. It encoded fine and plays great. Does that means there is a problem with the length of the original (55 minutes) or a section of it? Why would the length affect the encoding if I have enough memory to store the final file?

I found a work around by exporting it as an AVI into Encore 1.5 and transcoding from there. It still bothers me not to know why Premier won’t do the same thing.

I often use Premiere 6.5’s media encoder with exported AVI’s from PPro – mainly because of the convenient batch utility. Too bad they eliminated that on the newer editions.
Too bad non-quicktime apps cannot do reference movies.
