PPRO CS6 MPEG2 export Frames skip

[Dennis Radeke]

Hi guys,

From the information here, there seems to be several possible issues that may or may not be related. I will point this thread out to the engineers again and see what they come back with.

Got some early feedback. Try setting your data rate higher (or really high) and test again.

Yes, the problem only shows up in windows media player. If I import the mpeg2 files “back” into premiere, the skip/hiccup isn’t there. And I know your next thought, “don’t use wmp.” Well, our station uses rushworks to play our commercials and it doesn’t use WMP, however, the problems I see in the wmp are evident when played over air through rushworks.

Just wanted to add this to help.

Hi Dennis,
I tried the higher bit rate with same result. This morning however,
I tried using variable bit rate (VBR 2) vs. constant bitrate in the settings. I got a clean one minute commercial this time. I don’t know if it’ll happen every time, but I can hope.

Have you learned anything new about it?

Thank you,
Virgil

This may help some Dennis.
I found this thread from a few years ago. Unfortunately,
no one ever mentions a fix, but it can give you a better
idea of what i’m talking about.
Thanks,
Virgil

Virgil,

Have you tried the CC 7.0.1 update yet? This issue is dependent on Main Concept if I remember this correctly. We may have gotten a new drop that was put into the .01 build. Can you give it a go and let me know?

[Virgil k. Reed]

Actually I wasn’t aware of one.
I will definitely download it if it hasn’t
already done so automatically.
I’ll get back to you.
Thanks
Virgil

Ok… good sign here. My work computer is updated, must have been updated since about last Thursday, because I had noticed that there wasn’t any stutters in my encodes recently. I had attributed it to the fact I’ve been playing around with settings “a lot” lately and thought I had hit on something.

At least til I tried the same settings at home, and of course, there I still got the stutter. I’m praying its not updated at home, because I spent my entire day yesterday testing settings in every combination possible with no luck…

If I’m able to go home, update my encoder and solve this riddle that’s plagued me for over a year…

One way or the other, you’ll know how it turns out. 🙂

Hey,
I’ve got it updated here at home, encoded a two minute clip and it still does it. Still.

clear cache, trash prefs, restart – all the general stuff and see if that helps. Otherwise, if it’s working on your work system and not on your home we need to look at the system in question to see if there’s something weird going on.
