No lights at the end of the tunnel.
Tried many work-arounds, but failed everytime.
Honestly, never tried in H264 mode.
Same project edited as DVD and not BlueRay, works great.
Still waiting, sorry

Never tried Elecard Converter Studio?
You can Download the demo then see…………
Other try should be MainConcept DV codec with TMPGEnc (I usually work with it, in these cases).
You can import with TMPGE then, as output preferences, you’ll find the MainConcept option to output your file as a DV type2 (PP likes too much it, is its native)
Hope this helps you.

Then,
last chance is install all 4.0.1 update EXEPT THE MEDIA ENCODER one.
you’ll not have Minnetonka Surcode plugin (and something else)but everything will work.
TESTED!!!!

Try and let me know:

1) close adobe premiere

2) open My Computer>tools>folder options>view tab.
In the advanced settings section, make sure ‘show hidden files and folders’ is selected.

3)open My computer and go to c:\ (drive) > Documents and settings>UserName (no all user!!!)>Application Data>Adobe>common>Media Cache Files.
(If you’ve choosen another folder to stock the files, then go there and find Media Cache Files)

4) in this folder find the files you were just trying to import by searching the name.
you will now see 3 different file types with the same file name you were importing: .CFA, .PEK, .MPGINDEX. delete them all!

5) go back and open adobe premiere, open up your project again and it will automatically recreate those files you just deleted. correctly, (I hope).

Have you noticed that PProCS4 takes less time in project opening?
Probably this is because of same settings are not initialize like the previous release of premiere!
Let me know if I had to write an application letter to Adobe. eh, eh.

Lawrence,
I wasn’t convinced about my “discovery”, so I uninstalled again the entire sw, cleared all the Adobe folders ( Master Collection) and re-start step by step.
So I’ve found that mpeg audio bug isn’t relative of the .dll I listed over there.
There are .dll named something…mpg…dll.
These are the ones I want to fix the bug.
I’ve just copied the previous ones (PPCS4 4.0.0) in a folder so I can check which file will be changed/corrupted after this bloody update.
The 4.0.1 update fixes lot of bugs, so it’s a pity not take advantage of them.
It will take just a bit and I’ll come back soon.
If I’ll get I’ll ask a job in Adobe muddlers Team.
See you soon

Giorgio

That’s correct,
sorry if I didn’t explain it before.

Tip number two:
I also think it could be useful undermarking to de-activate any antivirus/firewall during the updating process.
If someone is scared by web-hackers, then close internet connection.
Does any of you use Klite codecs?
I’m not really positive impressed ’bout them.
I suspect sometimes they have “collisions” with Adobe Media Encoder, expecially.
Let me know if I help some.

You all speak about uninstalling, but did anyone try to go to Adobe folder and replace the .dll file “ad2ac3dec.dll” (of the previous version)? I did it, and it seems to work.
This is a way to have the .ac3 file in the older version of PPCS3.
Honestly I do not know how and why this file get corrupted after updating.
I also had the same problem in After Effect CS4 after the (bloody) update.
Please, write if this is useful for you also.
Cheers.

Giorgio
