Hi,

I found a work arround. I will the video out as uncompressed Avi and then I will encode it using Main Concept Reference Encoder.

However, I believe that it worked also once you import the AVI into Adobe Media Encoder and then render out, just make sure that in the settings you leave a good gap between Target output and Max Output bits.

Hope this helps, let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,

Dragan

Hi Glen,

I did something similar to what you did. Only I exported to an uncomrresed AVI first. Then from the AVI I used Media Concepts Encoder to get to MPEG 2 and it was fine. I did it about five times and it seemed to work ok. Hopefully it that was a patch.

Hope this helps..

Thanks,

Dragan

I just rendered again without the Max Render Quality Checked and got the same problem. The video stalled for a second. Now we have a brand new machine, brand footage from a different camera and this still happened. Must be a glitch in CS5..

Todd,

I think I found what the problem is. Uncheck Render at Max Quality settings. I read somewhere that if you are using a CUDA card you don’t need to have it checked. I just unchecked and rendered and the video did not skip.

Can you try and let me know if you get the same result. This is definately a CS5 issue as I was having the same issue on two machines.

Thanks,

Dragan

Todd,

Just to give you and update. I purchased an ASUS brand new laptop. i7, nvidia 460m card, 8gb of ram. The machine is smoking fast.
I loaded a brand new video, no effects on it or anything. Simple render into mpeg hd and SD. Guess what. Same problem here. I have to say that this must be a problem with CS5. We can’t be the only ones out there with the issue.

If anyone has any idea or the same problem please post here.

Thanks,

Dragan

Todd – Thanks for coming back and reposting. I am sorry to hear that you are still having the problem. I have not yet purchased the machine although I am planning on doing it soon. It is discouraging to here that the issue is still happening. I guess the big question is how do we get Windows Media Player to play back fine?
I just rendered some SD footage and it did the same thing, it stalled.

Here is something interesting. I rendered 45 min of AVCHD files to MPEG2 HD, and no issues happened? The video was smooth all the way through. This was on my slow machine as well…

I guess I will buy the machine anyhow becuase I need a faster computer for video. I will update you how the rendering works out on it. If you find anything else please let me know.

Thanks,

Dragan

I will double check. But u can swear that in the store they showed me that it had the USB3 port. Thankfully I dont havr to capture as I am working with Sony EX1 and can just transfer the files.

What do you think ASUS vs HP similar machine.

Todd, thanks for replying. Yes you are correct. It is the G series with a USB 3.0 on the side. Here is the exact model number G73SW-BST6

Thanks for your input.

Thanks again for trying. I will be looking to by a very powerfull laptop. I will post the question on recommendations in another post, I am really looking forward to you input..

Thanks again.

OK here are some results. I rendered with only one core checked and unfortunately same problem happened. The rendered file stalled for a second in two places.

I also exported as uncompressed AVI, and you are right I could not even play this one. I imported the file into premiere and let it render to mpeg2 and got the same results.

Then I tried something totally different, I took a completely different mpeg2 file recorded off of internet tv. Anyhow, that mpeg2 file played smoothly in windows media player. I took that file and imported it into CS5 and rendered it out. Guess what happened? It stalled in two places:-))

Conclusion either CS5 is a horrible program or it has issues with my computer. I am going to guess that it is my computer but the only way I can find out is to by a new laptop like i7 or try to find someone that has CS5 and to render my project on their i7. Thanks for helping folks.
