Error compiling movie. Unknown error
I just got a brand new laptop (Windows XP – Service Pack 3) and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and imported some random short clips to try it out. I imported an .avi and a .wmv file.
The .wmv file exported with no problem to multiple formats. When I tried to export an .avi file from my time line and it goes to Adobe Media Encoder I get the error message “Error compiling movie. Unknown error” after a couple of minutes.
I have no idea how to solve this.

This happened to me from time to time. What I do to remedy the situation is to divide the TL in parts. Example: cut the TL in half and copy it to a new TL and render it. If it goes ok then you know that the problem is in the other half. Then delete the footage of the new timeline and bring the other half or part of it. Render it again. Capiche? The idea is to isolate where is the problem. When you get it isolate, go frame by frame to see if you see a freeze frame or a white flash or some anomaly.
Sometimes I had to replace or cut 2 or 3 frames that was freezing or deteriorate.
Hope you understand my suggestion. Good luck!
