PPRO CS6 MPEG2 export Frames skip

[Virgil k. Reed]

Thanks Dennis.
Later in the evening, I decided to manually download the update just to see if it would help. afterward I did a few test encodes. With settings using VBR 1, 6 15 18.5, I had two successful four minute encodes of two different video projects with no issues. one test using CBR 14 mbps, I had issues like old times.

Is it normal for a system to have issues at different settings or should all settings work fine? just curious. The only time this would be an issue is if a broadcast client had to have CBR 12 for example, like NBR does (though theirs is in SD.)

When I get back home I will clear cashe, etc.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Hi Dennis,
I’m still getting the frame skips at times, both at home and at work. I do have a “best settings” that I’ve found that reduces it. I just wanted to let you know what it is, in case it shows you something specific about the problem.

Multiplexer
Variable, 0 mux rate, 4096 packet size, 1 packets/pack,
video buffer size of 30 kb, and audio buffer size of 12 kb.

Video
Quality 100, 1920/1080, 29.97, upper, square, ntsc, main, high,
vbr 1 pass, 6, 15, 18.5, GOP M frames 3, N frames 15, Closed GOP every 0, automatic GOP placement is checked.

Advanced
Macro block Q 10, VBV Buffer Size 224 x 2 Kbytes, sensitivity for noise control, yes for write sde, all ITU-R Rec. 709, 9 bit IDC precision, yes write sequence, no embed svcd used blocks and 0 ignore frame interval.

I did clean out the files, specifically, I ran CC Cleaner and deleted the adobe common files. If there is more to cleaning it up, please let me know.

Thank you,
Virgil

at this point, I’m out of ideas. You might try the Adobe forums in addition the awesome Creative Cow forums for input into your problem.

Hey Dennis,
Thank you for all your tips and advice. I’ve actually posted on the adobe forum, but got much less response than I did here. No help. But I did repost since then, with a link to our thread here for info, in hopes of something.

I actually thought you worked at Adobe. 🙂
Thank you,
Virgil

I do – but I still find it best to fess up when I’m out of ideas. 😉 I’ll post this link to some of my techs too…

Dennis R., Thanks for your time and interest. I have been having the same skip trouble with MPG2s exported from PP CS6 playing in Windows Media Player. My work around is to export MPG2s from PP CS4. I’m sure if there were a straightforward solution, Adobe techs would have written a patch by now.

Well I appreciate your Help Dennis.
I’ve posted the problem on the adobe forums
too.
Thank you,

I had to report back some good news. I’m still getting the stutters in windows media player, but it no longer shows up on air. Several people have said it was a windows media player issue… They appear to be right. I’m guessing a recent rushworks update fixed it from showing the stutters on air. I’m a happy camper. Relieved.

Thank you for hanging in and trying to solve an adobe issue that doesn’t appear to have been an adobe issue, Dennis. 🙂
