Adobe Premiere Encoder Problems

[Machine514]

I downloaded the latest encoder for Premiere and it does not work (I also tried 1.2).

This is what I did and the exact problem that I ran into.

-I uninstalled the encoder that came with Premiere.

-I then installed the 1.3 version encoder. It asked for the location of the premiere.exe file, so I pointed it to the file.

-I then rebooted and opened Premiere and encoded something that I was working on. It extracted with no errors.

-I then went to play the video file and I got an error that said I needed the following file..."mplvpx.dll"

-I downloaded it off the net, put it in the windows/system directory and now I went to play the m2v file. I did not get an error but it just showed a black screen with a red "X".

Anyone see this before? How can I fix this so I can use the latest encoder?

Thanks!

Are you able to play *other* m2v files successfully? I'd sure check that first before I'd blame the encoder. Also, MainConcept doesn't produce DVD compliant PCM files -- so if you are encoding to separate streams you need to reprocess the audio (I use BeSweet to change it to AC3, but you could just as easily reencode it to compliant PCM).

Finally, you might want to get on the Adobe MainConcept forum and ask this question -- I'll bet you they'll have an answer for you post haste (the MC boys frequent and respond daily to questions/problems).

My computer does play other m2v files.

I never reprocess the audio stream. I have burnt many DVD's with the file from the Premiere Encoder. what is the problem with that?

I will try the other forums.
