Hi All...
Thanks David for the info. I went back to the Adobe site and found two
recommended updates to supposedly correct the "Failed to return video frame"
error. One was a Windows update to correct problems when encoding MPEG files
on systems with dual processors and / or hyper threading. The other was an
Adobe update to install the latest encoding files to Premiere. After
installing both "fixes", I converterd one, fairly small project (12 minutes)
without any problems. Hopefully that took care of my problem.
I still think that I will take your advice and buy the Procoder Express since I
plan to do this on an on-going basis. Hopefully it will work better than the
Premiere converter and I am hopeful that it might convert faster. It took just
over 30 minutes to convert the 12 minute project inside of Premiere. This was
a first time for me so I don't know it that is normal or not. Anyway, thanks
for your help.
Also for anyone else who may be experiencing this same problem and would to try
the two updates..... they can be found at the following URL:

Good luck !

I think MyDVD will accept the AVI and do the conversion for you. It
wouldn't be my first choice but it might get the job done. I use MyDVD 5.*
with Premiere 6.5 and the Procoder Express MPEG-2 exporter plug in, but I'm
pretty sure my original version of MyDVD would work straight from the AVI.
It will take a while to convert. TMPGenc is probably still a great choice,
but I'm not sure the MPEG-2 encoder is still free for 30 days, as it was a
fair while back. If you think making your own DVDs will be a regular thing,
I'd either research how to make Pro work, which it must, or buy Procoder
Express. It makes a lovely MPEG-2 file, compared, for example to the old
Main Concept encoder that plugged into 6.5. I think Pro uses Main Concept
as well but the version would be newer and perhaps improved.

PS However you export your MPEG-2, creating separate audio and video files
(demuxed) will make MyDVD MUCH happier than a single program stream. You're
looking to make an m2v and an m2a. When you import the m2v into MyDVD it
will find the matching audio file on its own.

Hi Everyone,
I have been working with and learning Premiere Pro for awhile now
but just recently finished a project and wanted to convert it to an
MPEG file so that I could burn to DVD using Sonic's MYDVD. I have
been able to convert the completed project to an AVI file, but
everytime that I convert (using the export option) to an MPEG file,
I get this error after awhile:
"APP failed to return a video frame. Cancelling the operation."
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or if I maybe have some
settings wrong.
I have a fairly nice and stable system...
P4 / 3GHz
1Gig Ram
Matrox Card
Windows XP w/ Service Pak 2
All other aspects of my editing seem to work well so far but not
only does it not create the MPEG file, the program then halts and I
have to close out of it and launch it again.
Fortunately Sonic allowed me to use the AVI file to create the DVD
but I would really like to figure out why I can't create the MPEG
file.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Jeff
