render issue

Posted by Paul Miil on July 20, 2009 at 12:38 am

XP x64 server (2003) sp2
Intel core 2 quad (4 cpus) Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
4 GB of RAM
500 GB HD with 180 GB free
NVIDIA card with 500M.. I think.. can’t quite remember.
Premier Pro CS3

I’m rendering a
NTSC 720×480
Microsoft DV AVI
Embedding options “project”
DV NTSC
Millions of Colours
29.97 fps
aspect D1/DV ntsc widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
data rate: recompress – maintain data rate
Bit depth: project setting

Audio
uncompressed
48kHz
16 bit
stereo
interleave: 1 sec

The project is 58 minutes long, but the header is corrupt when I render the AVI.

I can render a short version fine,
I can render the entire video (no audio) fine,
I can render the entire audio (no video) fine,
I can not render both the audio and video together for the entire length without getting a corrupt header.

I check the rendered AVI with Gspot codec info appliance and it tells me that it is an invalid AVI due to corruption in the Header and it goes on to say that it is a serious problem.. lol.

The details are “while processing chunk /RIFF:AVI, found bad length value 2 147 035 844 at file offset 0x00001af4.

Am I trying to render a project that is too long? Should I break it up to say 10 minute segments or something?

I have no probs rendering 5 minute vids.

This 58 minute project does however have a lot of MP3s (with various rates), some WAV, and quite a lot of stills and AVI’s, 11 audio and video tracks (all though only used for about 10 seconds) the rest is around 2 video and 2 audio tracks.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated… as I’ve been working on this project for about a year and would hate to not be able to render it.

Why may I ask are you rendering to AVI

The reason why I am rendering to AVI is because I intend to burn the project to DVD.

I don’t know of a way to render from premiere direct to DVD VOB so I am rendering it to AVI which then can be converted to VOB format.

I am only able to render a max of 5 minutes worth without drawing a corrupt header. I’ve tried 30 min, 20, 15, 10 and all render with corrupt header.. citing bad length while processing chunk /RIFF:AVI

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Or know of a way to render/export a project direct to DVD format?

Try rendering to mpeg2 thith the adobe media encoder in the export settings in Premier Pro I use CS3 but CS2 has it to I don’t know if the previous versions have It, The setting I would suggest

Format: mpeg2-dvd
Quality: 5
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass

in the multiplexer select DVD that will put the audio and video in one file.

VOB files are basically mpeg2’s

Hope this helps

Thanks, such a simple solution.

MPEG2 rendered and played back fine.
Although I couldn’t render progressive, only interlace.
I’m assuming that’s because my camera shot on 30I.

I remember something about de-interlace.. but I’m not too worried about it, though I would prefer progressive.

And the rendered Mpeg2 is only 2.5 Gig instead of the AVI’s 12.5 Gig, not that size really matters.

This leaves me wondering why I was always using AVI.

Thanks again, your time saved me a lot of time.

There is a setting to export progressive in the field order setting see image
Hope this helps.
