Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

I have the following error since CS6 when exporting some videos: Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

All my drives have plenty of space, NTFS 7200rpm, everything was fine with CS5.5. Same problem with Encoder or Premiere Pro.

Much of the stuff I export is going fine but I have this error with some sequences and formats.

It always crash to this error when exporting sequences with "Match Sequence Settings".

For one of my projects, when exporting to wmv, out of 6 sequences one always crash to Export Error. Error compiling movie. Disk Full.

If I encode those sequences to mpeg2, everything is fine.

I installed the new update this morning but it doesn't help.

I have exactly the same problem.  The project was not created using an earlier version, I have deleted all the render files and am using the MPE software only.  No joy.

When trying to export using "match sequence settings" I get the disk full error.  My disk is not full.

I have never enabled parallel encoding and don't know where to find it in preferences.  Using any other encoding options it works fine.

Now, I have both Premiere Pro CS6 and CS5 installed on my computer.  I created the project in CS6 (and this is where I get the error).  However, if I open the same project in CS5, (after the dialogue to convert the CS6 project to CS5), I can export it using "match sequence settings" in CS5 fine, no problem.  No change, exactly the same souce, sequence and action, just a different result.  In CS5 it works, in CS6 it gives this weird error.

Hi, since my last post there has been no activity on this thread, so...

Has anyone found a workaround?  I find it incredibly inconvenient and unforgivable that I get this error when trying to export a movie in PPCS6 using "Match Sequence Settings".  Some facts:

1. I always get this error when trying to export from PPCS6 using match sequence settings.  It happens with all movies.  Starting a new sequence doesn't change it

2. I never get this error if I use another encoding option

3. My disk is not full

4. It happens whether I use software engine or GPU acceleration (and also if I delete the previews)

5. It happens on both the PC and MAC versions of PPCS6.  With sequences created natively on each machine and imported one to the other.

6. If I import the sequence into CS5, then hey presto, it works without error.  At the moment that is my workaround, but it is not at all acceptable that I have to do this.

7. The sequences were all created in CS6.  None of them were imported from another version

8. My source video is 1080p AVCHD footage

Any further thoughts on how to deal with this really frustrating and crippling new bug in CS6 would be incredibly welcome.

I have this problem all the time. Its something Adobe needs to fix but there are two ways to get around it.

1.Delete all your render files in the project and try again.

2.Turn off the mecury playback engine use software only.

I have found the mecury playback engine to be unreliable and I am dissapointed with its use in a real production enviornment. It's just a cool toy Adobe uses to sell there product. 

Also your effects will change when switching to software render so retweeking the whole project will be nessecery.

You  mentioned MPEG2 does not have this issue and WMV does have this issue. What other export formats have you tried that have or not have this problem.  Just for sake of narrowing down this issue, would you remove all effects you have applied to projects/sequences and try to export that project and see it the problem goes away?  Another test for WMV is to select a different Bitrate setting in Export Settings [Video tab]. Default is VBR, try selecting CBR and see if that solves the issue.

What I said about wmp is that 1 on 6, with the same settings, it don't works. I did some testing this morning  with a new 1 minute - no effects timeline from Canon XF 720p60. I tested wmp, mpeg2, "match sequence settings" and mp4. It alway crash at about 14%. That very bad because I have to export my video everyday for my job...

I tried with my old project with AVCHD and I'm still able to export to mpeg2 and 5 times on 6 in wmp. Changing the bitrate doesn't help.

It stucks between 8% and 14% in fact.
