Adobe provided the solution. I am posting the information just in case someone else has the same problem:
If you have installed the 4.0.1 update manually, and the problem still
persists, then please do the following:
1. Quit all applications.
2. In the Finder, go to Applications/Adobe Encore CS4.
3. Control-click the Adobe Encore CS4 application file and choose Show
Package Contents.
4. In the Finder window that appears, open the Contents folder. Next,
open the Required folder.
5. Drag the “config.xml” file to the Trash.
6. Start Encore. -
The only solution was mentioned above. Go to https://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd and download Voltaichd for the Mac. It works well converting AVCHD clips to AIC and possibly ProRes (go into the Prefs and set the advanced options for ProRes.) You get 10 free conversions then have to pay the $34.95. I haven’t played with it yet other than converting one AVCHD clip to AIC and that worked well.
Sorry, but that’s the best solution that I have come across. (The other option of course is to export your timeline in Premiere to a QT movie – that causes more work.)

Sorry I don’t have an answer for you. There are some real experts on this site. You might want to re-post your question as it’s own thread.
Good luck!

I “hear” “they” will be coming out with fixes in the near future. Until then, the program is worthless.

First, thank you for your response.
I’ve seen the blog and video before and while it is quite interesting, ProRes will not play smoothly in Pr 4. The playback is extremely poor, so poor, any editing or refinement cannot be done. This problem was verified by Adobe and is listed as a now known bug along with several others that I reported. Basically Pr4 on a Mac for AVCHD and several QT codecs are totally unusable.
I would have to do all the editing in FCP and then import into Encore for burning – which works well. What good is the suite, other than Blu-ray burning, if the main app, Pr, can’t be used.
Thanks again.

Eric thanks for the post. Your information made the most sense to this Pr newbie. Please read my response to Raj to review my understanding. Thanks again!

First, I thank you and Eric for responding.
I am able to import AVCHD into FCP as apple prores. Those clips now reside in my Capture Scratch folder as prores clips. Eric suggests then to use Pr preset DVCPRO or HD so I can then import the prores clips into Pr then edit in the sequence. I will try that although I believe I did in the past with problems (maybe.)
The other suggestion was to use just a regular SD DV NTSC preset and then edit. I assume that I could then open a new HD project using a HD preset, then import the DV project, render for 1920 X 1080 and burn to Blu-ray. I hope that is the correct understanding of all of this.
Am I getting the drift here or am I missing a step? As you can tell, I’m really new at Pr.
