Adobe Media Encoder CS4 runtime error

[saywhy]

I am wondering why I am getting a runtime error while attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4...As soon as I launch Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it crashes I have installed and reinstalled Flash a couple time, to see if this corrects the problem, which it doesn't, and just last week it was working fine...Does anybody have a ideal what is going on?

I can see this issue has years and years, I will tell you shortly what was my experience dealing with this error:

• Enter the forum a read al the replies.
• Test every solution/suggestion
• Having bad feeling about adobe
• One week of work lost
• Try all over again

The Real Problem:

In my case the problem was (as somebody else said) an error with the audio track of my video, not with the encoder/decoder but the audio track itself,

My solution:

I separate the audio track from the video, import them in Premiere and then export the video with the AME normally.

Hope this will help you all.

This has nothing to do with SSE2 I wish people would stop posting that as a solution. You need to have a REALLY old processor to run into that problem.

The issue is Quicktime.

I am on Windows 7 x64 and I get the "Load Audio Only" error when the latest Quicktime is installed (7.6).

If you uninstall Quicktime, Media Encoder and all other affected programs will work.

But, you can't use iTunes which blows.

Stuff like this just undermines Adobe's credibility as developers.

Well, I've now the same problem: AME, at the Loading Audio Only splash, simply crashes. I tried everything: uninstall/reinstall CS4, uninistalling Quicktime, upgrading AME with the last update (CS4.2), upgrading my OS, drivers and everything... Result: a fu**!!

I'm really bored of these Adobe crap that doesn't work when it wants. I tried also to delete the folder 4.0 in my users\Apps blabla folder, restarted the SO but nothing happes: AME crashes ALWAYS loading Audio Only. Any suggestion?

Thanks megadoosh, that's fixed my problem. I don't think there's been a moment in the history of Quicktime that it hasn't screwed up something on my system, I wish developers wouldn't use it for their programs.

megadoosh solved it - uninstall Quicktime and it will work.
