CS4 Media Encoder Issue at DVinfo.net

Paul Budline · January 10th, 2009, 11:52 AM

I've edited an 8 minute video in very high quality 1920x1080i, originally shot in XDCAM HD MP4 ... with some standard DV .AVI shots incorporated into the piece.

I'm trying to export this timeline to a high quality blu-ray MPEG 2 file - 2-pass VBR, 25 min, 30 target, 35 maximum. Using the MPEG2 Blu-ray preset on Adobe Media Encoder for 1080i 29.97 high quality, but changing 1-pass VBR to 2-pass VBR.

It starts okay but always stops completely partway through. At times there is the dreaded PProHeadless.exe message, at other times nothing at all. Has anyone run into this problem, or are there any suggestions?

Thanks very much.

PS Since then I have tried CBR 30, also without success.
