Viewing the Flash Video Encoder log file

Flash Video Encoder provides a log file that lets you view the status of files that you have encoded. The log file opens automatically if any errors are encountered when encoding a video clip, or if you manually stop the encoding queue.

The log file is a plain text file that contains a record of all files encoded, whether successfully completed or not. The encoding status of each file you encode is appended to the end of the file (placing the newest entry at the end of the file). The log file adds entries until you manually clear them by opening the file in a text editor, selecting all of the entries, deleting them, and saving the empty file using the default filename (log.text).

The log file is stored in the following location:

• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Video Encoder\log.txt
• Windows Vista: C:\Users\user\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Video Encoder\log.txt
• Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Video Encoder/log.txt

To view the log file:

• Select File > Show Log.

  The log file is displayed using the operating system's default text editing application.
