Stuck in the muck
Greetings,
I am still running Premiere Pro 2. I have a short AVI file I was trying to convert to an ISO image after editing in PP2. I get so far into this and then receive the error code “Compiling Media invalid file path”. Not sure what is going on. The AVI file plays fine and doesn’t seem to be corrupted. I running a P-4 2.4 processor with 2 gigs of ram. Never had the problem before. Thank you in advance.

File Path may be referring to the export path. Try exporting to the root directory of C: drive.

In the context menu in Premiere, I don’t see the option of exporting to the C: drive root. Other options are ‘Export to DVD, Export to Movie ect. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanx

I would say you may want to check where your scratch disks are set…and look at how full that volume is…
When you are exporting to DVD this way, the first thing that happens is that your material needs to be rendered to an uncompressed state in a temporary file that then feeds the compression process. If you have a long timeline, this can be a massive file…and if it’s targeted to a drive that’s short on space in the scratch drive settings, you won’t make it through the process.

There is 250 gigs of space for the scratch disc and the path is the same. I tried to export to DVD/iso file again and got the same compiling media invalid file path. It may be that the avi file is corrupt?

“Out of the muck”! I used Encore to transcode and burn the movie to a iso file, and burned it to DVD, and all went well. Why it would not work with PPro i will never know. It was a small avi file. Thanks for all of your replies. Michael
