I posted the following problem on the Encore forum to little avail. So I'm in hopes that someone here will have some information and help. I have edited a movie in PPro. It's about one and a half hour long. When I export it via MPEG2, non muxed, I can not import the M2V into Encore. The WAV file imports OK. The import dialog box shows up and the progress bar moves to about 80% and then sloooows done to a crawl and finally flashes back to 80% and continues this loop forever, no error message. So I try exporting from PPro with the AVI (movie) option. This file imports immediately into Encore. I have tried several transcode settings to transcode the file before I try to burn file or disk. However none of these settings have been successful. The progress bar takes it's time to go to the end, it then disappears but no transcoding takes place no matter how long I let it go before hitting stop. The MPEG file was exported from PPro with VBR 2 pass 8 mbps PCM audio. I don't have Roxio or Nero. I ran reg1staid several times. My disks are defraged. My machine is : Pentium 4, 2.8 ghrz, with 2 Gigs memory. I hope somebody has some insight into this and can help me solve this frustrating problem. In the meantime I'm back to Sonic's DVDiT.
How much available Memory do you have? Virtual, Actual HD, RAM? Just before compiling? You'll need working Buffer space.
VBR 2-pass 8MB/sec? Why? What was the max setting? What was the target setting? to be blunt, at 8Mb/sec, you should be using CBR not VBR.
