timeline wont play / media encoder crashes / wont export to tape
Am having some major issues with CS4 premiere at the moment:
It started a few days ago when now and again id notice that if i pressed spacebar to play the timeline it wouldnt work [yet it would play in source monitor]
Tonight its just stopped all together despite rebooting the pc twice, opening up a new project and copying the old sequence to the new sequence.
Now media encoder will not export, first two times i kept getting a error message such as ‘could not read memory’, third time it crashed the whole pc [with a brief bsod!] then when the pc rebooted i got a microsoft message saying the system had recovered from a serious error.
I tried exporting to tape and it wouldnt do it, no crash or freeze, just nothing.
The project itself [its SD] is 15 minutes long with quite a few sound/video channels on the timeline. I tried opening up a more recent [3 minute] project and all is fine, which makes me think its the memory in my computer, which is annoying because the computer is only 4 months old.
my computer spec [ive just copied and paste this from my order to the computer guy] is:
2 Dell S2309W 23″ Widescreen TFT
Intel Q8200 Quad Core CPU & Fan
Lian Li PC60A Plus Case
Samsung 1Tb Spinpoint HDD SATA
OCZ 1066 DDR2 Memory 2x 2Gb Kit
MS XP Home
Asus P5 Motherboard (Only PCI-e no AGP)
ATI Radeon HD 4650 512Mb
1394 FirewireIve never had problems like this before with cs3 and back then i was editing projects nearly three hours in lentgh with a lower spec pc.
please help – i have a deadline for the project in question coming up on tuesday and frankly im crapping myself.
thanks for any advice

im not sure what the cause of your main problem is
but media encoder crashing is the softwares fault, ive been dealing with the same issue for the last week.unfortunately until adobe take responsibility for the holes in their software we are all just going to have to workaround

I know you may have already, but have you tried defragging? Also closing anything else on your system by going to your task manager and closing any processes that you don’t need?
If you are recieving a BSOD, take a note of what it actually says cos if you can get a glipmse of the top bit and then google it and that should source the problem, it usually starts with IRQL…
