So I deleted a file named com.Adobe.Adobe Media Encoder.4.0.plist and it launched. Now let’s see if it works.

Yes, there’s something to be said for System 7. Move the files and they just work.

None of your suggestions worked for me. The CS3 Flash Encoder works but I want to use the CS4 version that has more options. Sorry to sidetrack your post with this issue but you made me think when you said your software worked. The difference is that I used Migration Assistant to move my files to a new laptop instead of CCC. I’ll keep my eyes and ears out for a solution. Let me know if you hear of any. Thanks.

I miss System 7.

I’m assuming you reamed out permissions with Disk Utility, but if not, try that voodoo.

I Googled the issue, and apparently you’re not alone. One suggestion was to turn off “Preview While Encoding” in preferences, but if you can’t get it to launch, that’s no help. Did you recently allow the Acrobat 8.2 update? That seems to be causing problems for CS3/3 apps, but perhaps it poisons CS 4 as well. See:

I’ve not gotten Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to work for me since I “upgraded” to Snow Leopard. It crashes on launch every time. Sounds like you got everything working. Any ideas? (I tried deleting the prefs but that didn’t help) I should have tried it your way.

And Fireworks feels like it’s from another planet… cute Seagate drive, BTW.

That’s one sexy drive and I’ve been meaning to clone my laptop for a while now. I religiously use Time Machine, but if my laptop craps out on me, this could be a major stress reducer.

Thanks for the tips, Mistress of the Mac!
