  • PP2’s MPEG1 encoding often splits audio & video into two files

    Posted by Mbelli on May 8, 2006 at 8:29 pm

    I often use MPEG1 clips for burn-in TC for clients. Adobe Media Encoder in PP2 is driving me nuts. Sometimes it creates a proper MPEG1 video clip other times it creates two files an .m1v and .mpa file.

    It seems like the encoder at times can’t join the two files together at the end of an encoding session. It particularly does this with longer AVI’s.

    I like MPEG1 because it encodes quickly and can be played in all PCs, even older ones.

    Anyhow, unless I’m doing something wrong, this is a bug!

    You have a setting problem. In the Adobe Media Encoder there is a Multiplexer option. If you select Mpeg-1 in the dialog box, you will have Audio and Video in the same MPG clip. If you select NONE, you will have a two clips: a M1V and a MPA.

    Wonder why it doesn’t default to the proper setting when you simply pick the VCD or MPEG1 template. Why would there ever even be a need to split an MPEG1 clip anyway?

    Anyhow, thanks for the answer, I’ll see why that multiplexing option gets checked sometimes and at other times not.

    [mbelli] ” Why would there ever even be a need to split an MPEG1 clip anyway?”

    Because some DVD or CD burnimg softwares require (or work better) with non-multiplexed A/V clips.
