Using xppro with quad core AMD (Phenom 9600) and 2 gb RAM with RAID0 (2 1TBHD's).
I converted the AVCHD files from SONY XR520v to CIN AVI Progressive with HDlink. THen using the cineform 1920x1080 preset with Premiere CS3 I created a timeline with a couple of title overlays created same size as Quicktime (to get the alpha channel).
I successfully rendered out an MPEG2 file from this timeline as DVD sized file which worked fine with ENcore to create a playing wide screen DVD.
However, when I tried to render out an H.264 1280x720 Progressive file to put on Vimeo, it wouldn't render.
The exact problems are, 1. I used the Adobe Media Encoder and set it to H.264 with the appropriate size and Progressive
2. THe render appears to go normally ie AME appears to be rendering the whole thing.
3. However, generally, at the end there is an "unknown error".
4. Checking the file in My Computer, the file only has about 500KB and it won't play in the quicktime player (Buffer overrun detected).
5. Interestingly, I can successfully render a five minute portion of the timeline, but 10 minutes or more gives the above error.
6. I tried turning off the Hyperthreading switch (in the Export -Movie area) even though I'm not sure this applies to the AME and the same thing happens with a ten minute portion of the 24 minute clip.
7. CHecking with task manager during the H.264 run, all four cores are used at 99%.
I realize this is one of those problems, which is too complicated to explain adequately, but any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
