Premiere CS3 fails in AdobeMedia exporting
Hello,
I have a 50 minutes Premiere CS3 project made from HDV footages. The AdobeMedia export process using the H264 preset (1440x1080i High Quality/2 pass) seems to work well during 27 hours but at the very end the export fails with the message “Unknown error” and Premiere closes by itself. Instead of a single “Mymovie.mp4” file in the target directory, I have the following files:
1. Mymovie.mp4 – 1 529 ko unreadable
2. M5iro – 5 885 919 ko unreadable but can be read without sound when renamed in M5iro.avi
3. 90865.aac – 65 397 ko unreadable
4. 90865.m4v – 5 821 744 Kbits unreadable
Could you please help me solve this issue; maybe I can simply change the extension of one of these files to recover it as a regular mp4 and/or mux it . Thank you for your help. -

Did you say 27 hours? That sounds extremely long for a 50 minute project. If you have a copy of After Effects, you can import the Premiere sequence and try to export from there instead, or you could get yourself a copy of Quicktime pro, export to uncompressed from Premiere and let Quicktime pro do the H.264 encoding.

I have an AMD XP 64 X2 4600+ processor with 3500 Gbytes RAM. How much time should it take for processing a 55 minutes HDV XP project? May be the time it takes to me is due to the fact that my footages where made with an NTSC camcorder whereas I am exporting the project as a PAL movie. Anyway I shall try your method using After Effects. Thank you so much for your assistance.

I think your most pressing issue in the fact that you are exporting to PAL, which won’t work in Premiere. Your resulting video will be nothing but jitter and probably won’t fit the frame. You will need to export to NTSC and use a third party converter to get it into PAL, we use Tmpegenc xpress. You should export uncompressed in that case.
Quicktime Animation will probably get you the smallest file size.

In fact using the same export settings on smaller project gave me pretting goog results (almost no loss of picture quality) starting from NTSC rushs to create PAL H268 1440 x 1080i movie. I am presently downloading TMPGenc Express and shall then try your method. Which Premiere CS3 presets should I use to export uncompressed Quicktime Animation (Format: Quicktime – Preset: HDTV 1080p25 – VideoCodec: H.264 or Apple animation?). Thank you for your help.
