Exporting FLV crashes

I have a 500mb avi file that I need to encode into an FLV file.
I brought it into premiere pro cs3, placed on the timeline and then used the Media Encoder to create an FLV. I used the settings of original resolution (950x640) bitrate of 2000kb/ps. There is no audio with this clip.
When I export it using these settings it goes fine until about the 20% mark. Then it slows down until at around 26% the percentage is no longer visibly incrementing. It will occasionally jump maybe one or two percent.
I continue doing other processes and premiere pro will eventually become unresponsive, it will not maximise anymore and in the end I am forced to End the Process using Task manager.
The clip is only 14 seconds long and has been created in 3ds Max.
I have 110Gb free on my C: drive and over 300Gb free on my E: drive (where it is exporting to)
I eventually gave up and used the Adobe Flash Video Encoder using exactly the same settings. It took about 20 seconds and the output FLV is fine.
What I want to know is why premiere cannot handle this? I have used the media encoder countless times with no problems, although it has always seemed slow... I have changed my Media Cache to be on my E: drive as this always has lots of space just in case, as I read disk space can be an issue.
Please, any ideas?
I can't really sit and watch it export all the way through as I have countless other things to do at the moment.

I am still having this problem, it only seems to occur when trying to encode video exported from 3ds max in uncompressed avi format. I have managed to get around it by using Targa sequence's instead. I am still a little puzzled, as it can't be the file size as I've worked with much much bigger files before with no issues.
