I wish I had an answer for you man, but I don’t. I googled the words, “I hate adobe media encoder cs4” and this was top of the list. Everything you described is exactly the same behavior I have been dealing with for the last several months. I’ve tried a half dozen suggested fixes, have everything up to date, and usually sacrifice a kitten and cross my fingers every time I attempt to export from Premiere Pro through the CS4 Encoder.

It’s becoming harder and harder to supress my fantasies of sending multiple letter bombs to whoever engineered this piece of shit. Luckily, my therapist has me on meds for that though.

Simple exports that used to take 10-15 minutes now tend to take nearly 40 minutes to an hour due to the time I waste sitting around waiting for shit to “load”… and sometimes, just not at all.

Time to google photos of kittens or puppies or something or the anger will begin to rise again.
