Hello. Since many people seem to like it I thought I'd try out Adobe Media Encoder as I just discovered it came bundled w/ my Illustrator and Photoshop programs (had it for 2 years and din't even know it - doh!).
When attempting to transcode a QT Ref file exported from AVID all seems fine until I hit "Start Queue" at which point the nothing happens. Elapsed time stays at 00:00:00. It says its encoding but my Quad cores don't do anything and the program becomes unresponsive and I have to close it. Doesn't matter whether I choose to encode to an H264 or FLV file. Footage is 23.98fps.
Funny enough, encoding goes smoothly when using an MP4 I created in Squeeze from the same QT Ref file. Am I missing something obvious or are there special settings I should be aware of when exporting the QT Ref specifically for Media Encoder.
Thanks for any insights!
