Premiere Pro CS4 and Media Encoder rather big issue

[shinester184]

Hi guys,

I have been doing a mass encoding session encoding about six hours worth of HD footage today from Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder CS4.

All together I have encoded 5 long videos, just over an hour each. The problem I have is after ME has finished putting out each video (encoding to MPEG-2 1080i50i 25fps) the video file and audio files are encoded separately! So I have an audio file with no video and a video file with no audio which isn't much good!!

It has done this for all five vids

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Cheers.

Do you have a specific container in mind? You could use MKVMerge or MKVToolnix to put them into an MKV container, or I'm sure you could put them into MPG with Virtualdub.

Well I was hoping to use MPG as the container - I don't need MKV because I'm keeping the high def files on PC but writing them to SD DVDs so the MKVs don't really fit within 4.7gb allowance. It would be nice just to have to render the file once, rather tha twice in Vdub, but the wierd thing is M.E puts out perfectly good files if they are sub 10 mins which is really confusing.! But if nothing seems to be able to fix it, then I'll follow you advice

Btw, this won't be solved by a re-install as it happened on my old PC

Do you have Adobe Encore? If so then you can take the output MPG and audio and combine them there, I think? I say I think cause I haven't used the Adobe packages for quite some time but I'm sure I took an m2v video file and separate audio and combined them in Encore.
