Premiere very sloow to export

[pharries]

I have Adobe Premiere 6.5
It takes 13 hours to export a 1 hour movie!
I have 1GB RAM and 40 GB available for the temp directory
The wndows, user and scrath temp firectories all point to the same drive with > 40GB free space.
I have tried using no compression, Msoft codec and other codecs -still remains very slow
Others seem to have same problm on Adobe forum but no answers
HELP!!!

I have Premiere 6.5 and it exports to mpg in 3:1 source ratio. Less if it’s AVI. I have upgraded the Main Concept encoder to v1.3 (the original is v1.0).

I’m guessing you have a codec problem. Recently I had a similar problem. I installed Vegas Video 4, I wanted to try it out. Vegas use’s Main Concept encoder v1.0. I played around with it a little but was more comfortable with Premiere. Then the other day I was exporting a project in Premiere and it would get about 40% and then crash! I tried to export to AVI and same thing happened. Adobe recomends uninstalling old version of encoder before upgrading, so I'm thinking there was a conflict with Vegas encoder.

I got tired of playing around and decided to restore XP with Ghost image taken before Vegas was installed. Now everything is back to normal(you gotta love Norton Ghost).

Good Luck!

to pharries:

Exporting from PREMIERE to MAINCONCEPT (or anything else for that matter) is FRAMESERVING and it just takes longer. The end.

10 HOURS is because your PIII Dual-600 setup is slow. Video processing does not take advantage of dual-processors very often. So it is just using your one slow 600mhz processor. Sorry. You'd need a P4 for better speeds. 10 HOURS is about right.

Be sure to update Premiere and Mainconcept encoders to latest versions.
