Hello everybody. I have an URGENT problem with Premiere 6.5. I just made a project that is supposed to be on the bosses desk right now, but I am having some problems.

When I go to try to export it as an MPEG, there is no Adobe MPEG encoder option.

I remember when I first installed Adobe Premiere 6.5 I had some troubles with it, so I uninstalled and reinstalled on another drive. When I had the first install, I remember seeing it there, but now I do not.

Please reply ASAP!

Thanks

-Mark

Go to control panel/software and uninstall Adobe MPEG Encoder. Reboot. Then download from www.mainconcept.com the Adobe MPEG 1.2 or 1.3 Beta, and install that one.

Hi Mark,

This happens occasionally, and we think it might be a general issue because other people occasionally report not seeing other Premiere components such as the new titler.

One option that seems to work in these cases is to reinstall Premiere without uninstalling first. Another option is:

- Download the 1.2 or 1.3b update to the Adobe MPEG Encoder from <http://www.mainconcept.com/adobempeg/downloads.html>.

- Remove the current Adobe MPEG Encoder using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.

- Install the downloaded file.

Note that you should update to at least version 1.2 no matter what. It contains a variety of enhancements and fixes.

And getting two separate replies to two of them. Was driving me nuts not seeing my reply in the same post as Mark's while the reply was similar....

And you could save a little time by not posting the same thing 5 times.

I only posted ONCE! I was looking at my original post, and I didn't see any replies, so I went to the main index and now I see all of your replies.

So, before I saw your posts, I uninstalled Premiere 6.5. I am re-installing it right now, so we'll see.

Just to explain my problem a little bit more, I am producing a 4 minute video for a company showing off one of their products. I attempted to render it as an avi file and burn the file to a DVD+R, but the burned product skipped, and played fast at points, etc. So I am hoping that the MPEG encoder will help! We'll see.

I am using Windows XP Home.

Thanks

P.S. If this doesn't work, would you reccomend the 1.2 or the 1.3 beta?

Maybe the problem was caused by lack of debounce on the keyboard?

Then again, maybe he's using a Mac?

Just for your info, the error you mentioned before you posted it was working, indicates you have a 16 bits application installed on your XP Home which causes that error. Think about it.

Well it worked. I now have the option to output using the MPEG encoder.

Now I need your opinion. I am trying to output the best quality possible of my productions. I have a total of 4 small ones, totaling 12 minutes. Would the SVCD option sefice for putting them on a CDR?

Thanks

Try reinstalling A6.5! I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone is goong to be able to suggest anything further.

Have you checked to see whether there is an ADMPEG folder in the Plug in folder? There should be the file admpeg.prm within it.

Well, if you are trying to get the "best quality possible," DVD is the answer. SVCD can be very good, but the resolution and bitrate are significantly lower than DVD -- thus the quality is lower than DVD.

You may find that the Advanced Windows Media alternative in P6.5 gives better quality than MPEG at the same file size.
