I converted a bunch of .wmv files to .m4v last light using Handbrake, so that I could import them into Acrobat Media Encoder CSV to convert to Flash. The project is to post about two dozen video contest entries received from employees from around the world to a SharePoint. 50mb file size limit, plus its good to have them all in the same format.

The problem: Acrobat Encoder imports the m4v files and appears to be encoding them fine. Once the progress bar reaches "complete" and the counter winds down to 00.00, they hang each time. Encoder just stops. I've tried this on both my early 2011 MBP and early 2008 MBP (both SL and both with identical software installations). Same result each time. Interesting to watch Activity Monitor during this process: on both machines it shows both cores at virtually 100% until the file hangs, then it starts switching between the cores, with one at 100% and the other at zero, then the reverse. Yet the files never complete the encoding.

New to both Handbrake and Encoder. Is there an obvious setting I've overlooked?
