Adobe Encore CS3 Recorder: None Found?

I'm using Encore CS3. I have burned DVDs with it many times before, but today it tells me in the "Build --> Destination" box: "Recorder: None Found." I click refresh but nothing happens. I know I have two working DVD writers connected to the computer, but Encore refuses to recognize them. I tried re-installing, but I still have the same problem. I have also tried running the program as administrator. What can be causing this problem?

When a program works one day, but not the next, then something has changed.
The trick is finding out what has changed.
Did you add any new software (maybe Nero, or Roxio)?
Do you use Quicken and its Backup Up to Disc, where you burn to a CD?
Did you add any new hardware?
Have you run any Windows OS updates, or hot-fixes? [usually results in broken/obsolete video or audio drivers.]
Do you have a Restore Point from when things did work?
Take a look at this ARTICLE in the Encore FAQ.
Good luck,
Hunt

ADOBE ENCORE CS3 Multiple Timeline AUDIO issue

Hello All,
I have ADOBE Encore CS3 project setup and i have the following assets in the project.
1. Timeline1.
2. Timeline2.
3. Main Menu
4. Sub Menu or Chapter Menu
5. Audio for Main Menu (MP3)
6. Audio for Sub Menu (MP3)
Setup:
1. Main Menu contains the links to Timeline1, Timeline2 and Submenu. And Main Menu has been selected as Start of Play screen.
2. SubMenu has Chapters linked to Chapters on Timeline 1, Timeline 2.
3. End of Action is set on both the Timelines. And the End of Action being set to go back to Main Menu on both the timelines.
The Problem is:
In the preview mode:
1. The Main Menu display with the audio. When the link to Timeline1 Video is selected, Timeline1 Video is played and Audio is heard. No Issues here.
2. End of Action is clicked on the Timeline1, and it comes back to the Main Menu. No Issues here.
3. Timeline2 is selected Video is displayed and audio is heard. No issues here.
4. End of Action is clicked on Timeline2 and the control comes back to Main Menu. No Issues here.
5. Now I select Timeline1 Video again from Main Menu, the issue is, TIMELINE1 VIDEO is played, but NO AUDIO is heard. This happens always whenver i come back from Timeline2 to Timeline1 either from Chapters Menu or Main Menu.
Could you please tell me whether it is a ENCORE issue or is it something related to my authoring.
Please Advise,
Venky

What happens if you actually create a disc instead of using preview?
Try to an RW disc, and please check this.
Remember that preview mode is not an actual multiplex of the final VOB filesthat compiling the disc will create, and as such can be a little wobbly whereas a real disc will be properly multiplexed together.
Also - just to humour me - please do not use MP3 audio, as you are forcing on-the-fly sample rate conversion which is not a good idea.

When does Adobe Encore CS3 support DTS-HD audio

When does Adobe Encore CS3 support DTS-HD audio?
Today I have tried to make a Blu-ray disc project with a 5.1 DTS-HD (192 kHz)audio track, but the DTS-HD audio track was much longer in the timeline than the videotrack! while the DTS-HD was encoded properly and was excactly the same length then the videotrack,
I think DTS-HD is still not supported by Adobe CS3....when will there be an update to solve this?

Okay - bug confirmed here.
DTS-HD MAS is not being correctly parsed by CS3.
I tried this using a 24-48 5.1 DTS-HD MAS file, and a file lasting around 20 minutes came in at over 4 hours in CS3.
Admittedly, I used the Blu Ray + HD DVD Primary profile.
So, I tried again using a 4.18 duration 5.1 mix at 24/48 resolution, using the pure Blu Ray profile.
When imported into Encore CS3, this came out at an apparent 1 hour 6 min file. Clearly, something is wrong here.
Further - it would appear that despite it being possible to import the stream, DTS-HD is simply not supported at all - you have to enable the "All Files" option to get the import dialogue to even see the file.
Yet again, we see Audio as the poor relation in a video suite.
Maarten
Best file a feature request for DTS-HD support.

Same form should also be used for the Bug Report.
If enough people ask for this, it may get implemented - and as Adobe are concentrating on Flash & Blu Ray these days, you may even get lucky.

Download for Adobe Encore CS3?

In the process of reinstalling Adobe Encore CS3 from an Adobe created disc, I get a message from McAfee antivirus that the disc contains a virus. Is there a way I can download Adobe Encore CS3 directly from the Adobe website?

The only way you can download a product from Adobe is if you originally purchased via download, so you may go back to "your" account at Adobe to use your original download link
Since you have a disc from Adobe, and I do not remember ever reading of a virus on an Adobe disc, I will guess that McAfee is wrong
Until I upgraded to CS5, I had CS3 on disc, and Norton did not complain when I installed
I suggest you contact MacAfee

Cannot find original adobe Encore CS3 file to download

My computer was hacked and I had to reformat everything only to find that the keylogger was in my router. I lost everything in 4 computers. I bought and paid for Encore CS3 but can only find "updates" and not the original program to update on my Adobe account product page. I also updated Premiere Pro to CS4 which I found.
Please help. Where is the Encore CS3 download?
Thank you.

Adobe Encore CS3 compatiblity with Windows 8.1?

Is Encore CS3 compatible?

CS3 is old enough, and Win8.1 is new enough, that you may not find anyone here with that combination
Have you tried installing and using?
Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will often be needed
You also MAY need to right click the program icon and select a compatibility mode from the popup option window (I know this for Win7 but do NOT know if Win8.1 has the same popup)

I want adobe encore but it not found in the ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD

the question is if I buy Adobe Premiere Pro
did the encore and the encode included in it ?
thanks

As the above post comments, one gets Encore via having the CC license, then downloading a "Previous Version" through the CC desktop app, choosing Premiere Pro CS6, but then if you only want Encore, in the installation box you say only install Encore.
Adobe has a blog post on how to setup Encore ... as you'll need to both download/install, then download a couple other "libraries" of things for it, unzip & place those in specific directories, THEN Encore is totally available for use. Found at the following link:
Encore CS6 not installed with Creative Cloud
It would also be useful to search here for "encore installing"

Can Adobe Encore CS3 make a 24p DVD or not?

I'm trying to create a professional quality 24p DVD (Progressive: 23.976 fps) But when you open Encore and choose Authoring Mode: DVD I only have two options PAL or NTSC and all the other options are disabled! But that screen says: It will be either 29.97i for NTSC or 25i for PAL. I'm trying to make a real DVD here! Not a home movie. How do I get rid of the interlacing and get it to 24 fps? If I change the transcode settings inside the project after accepting one of those bad settings does that do anything? It doesn't seem like it when I write my DVD.

JackSkyyler wrote:
Anyway, the thing I'm confused on is: how would it work when I'm in a 29.97i project? It doesn't seem like it could be writing it correctly.
Oh, and in format should I be using MPEG2 or MPEG2-DVD
I tried the MPEG2 because I'd already tried this for MPEG2-DVD and it didn't seem to work plus I couldn't find the pulldown option on it.
You need to do some serious research on the DVD spec and what's legal and what's not. Encore's got its share of bugs, but there's no hope for a successful project unless the author knows what he's doing. 24P isn't for home movies (as you've noted) and it moves you squarely into big-boy land. Your questions indicate that you have no idea about how 24P footage can be stored on an NTSC DVD. May I suggest the DVD FAQ at the DVD Demystified web site?
Two En CS3 bugs are noteworthy:
En will re-transcode your video, even if it is DVD-legal, if it contains multiplexed audio that doesn't match your En project audio settings. That's why it's best to transcode to elementary streams: M2V video and WAV or AC3 audio.
If you allow En to transcode your 24P video, En will hard-code the 2:3 pulldown into the video stream instead of simply setting pulldown flags. You'll end up with a real 29.97 fps interlaced video file and your 24P look will be ruined. En CS4 and En CS5 don't have that issue.
Your other option is to hire an experienced DVD author to author the disc for you.

Adobe Encore CS3 resets computer during import

While trying to import a 630 MB .M2V created by Premiere CS3, it stops processing the file and then the estimated time starts incrementing about 1.5 seconds or more per acutal elapsed second, and eventually the computer just resets.

Interesting. While I've seen drivers, both Audio & Video, cause all sorts of issues, I've not heard of a BSOD situation. Thanks for posting.
I do strongly recommend that one keep these two sets of drivers updated religiously. Many OS updates (most happen in the background and users do not usually even know that they are being applies) will render both the Audio & Video drivers obsolete in a heartbeat.
When someone posts that their system worked one day, but not the next, this is usually the first thing that I'll recommend. In very many cases, what changed was a simple MS update, and no one was even aware that it was happening. That is one reason that I have all updates set to full manual, with only notification of availability. I want to know when something is possibly going to require additional intervention, like updating all drivers.
I also have every computer set up to NOT reboot on error. I want to see the BSOD and take any notes that might yield even a clue as to what happened. Unfortunatley, most of the data presented is stuff that even MS's coders cannot figure out.
When someone is experiencing big problems, this VIDEO will offer some tips, some utility recs. and maybe some insight into how best to troubleshoot. There are also some subtle laughs along the way. Warning, it's long and does have a lot of tech-speak. Not for the technically challenged.

Adobe Encore CS3 Won't Build or Check Project to Burn to DVD

Instead, it just crashes. Everytime. I press 'Build' and 'Check Project' and after a minute or so it just goes kuput.
I have freed up half my memory and manually transcoded the video and audio in the project thinking that would solve the problem and it hasn't. Something is up. Anyone know what else could be the problem?
By the way, I'm using a Intel iMac with an external drive. And I've done this with both the project on the external drive and on the Mac's main drive. Neither works.

I am Win-PC, but these may help

Oops - mea cupla - it's stated clearly in your original post.
Sorry.
Okay - let me try & undserstand your flow here.
Are you are re-using assets or have you imported them several times under different names?
If the former, this might be the trouble.
If using the same background each time for each of thre 4 menus, what happens if you import the footage 4 times with 4 different names?
So, instead of
movie clip.avi (is that a space I see in the filename?? more on that in a moment)
you would use
movie_clip_1.avi
movie_clip_2.avi
movie_clip_3.avi
movie_clip_4.avi
and do the same for the audio too.
I have often had terrible trouble with another Sonic tool where the importers allow you to link the same asset multiple times, yet when you compile it all goes to hell in a handcart.
Workaround = never use the same asset more than once unless you change the name.
I would also rename each copy of the menu as well, just to be safe.
The other thing - not that this is the problem for you - is to try & avoid using spaces in a filename. Always use an underscore instead of a space.
I hope this helps.

Adobe Premiere CS3 keeps crashing everytime I attempt to export to Encore

Hey folks,
As the title suggests, everytime I try to export my project onto the Adobe Encore CS3 programme it crashes, with the message "sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your project."
Can anyone help at all? My gut feeling tells me that I'm going to have to reinstall everything again but if there's any suggestions to do something other than this it'd be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

I agree with your gut feeling, especially since all relevant details were left out. Some suggestions

Adobe Encore DVD - vidéo avant menu

Bonjour,
Je travaille actuellement sur un projet de DVD, dont l'authoring est
réalisé sur Adobe Encore CS3.
J'ai donc un menu, qui fonctionne on ne peut mieux, mais avant ce
menu, j'aimerais avoir une vidéo qui n'est pas "passable" (comme le
fameux "télécharger un film piraté c'est du vol" qui nous prend 1
minute de notre temps sur beaucoup de DVD =p ).
J'ai donc mis cette fameuse vidéo "à lire en premier" dans
encore, et lorsque je lance le pré-visionnage, ça fonctionne comme sur
des roulettes (sauf qu'en cliquant sur le bouton menu, je peux
passer cette vidéo sans problème, alors que je voudrais justement qu'on
ne puisse pas la passer, mais bon... au point où j'en suis!) (bien que
je n'ai autorisé aucune opération dans l'option prévue à cet effet, je
précise)
Bref, je sens que je commence à vous perdre, alors j'en viens au
fait!
Je lance donc ma génération de DVD en dossier DVD. Une fois tout
l'encodage terminé, je lance mon DVD, et là! Oh miracle! Je n'ai pas de
vidéo avant le menu. J'arrive directement sur le menu. Et pourtant
(chose incompréhensible pour mon pauvre petit cerveau maltraité), elle
est bien dans le fichier VIDEO_TS, en .vob...
Alors, voilà les différentes solutions que j'ai testé:
1. La vidéo est un montage, à lire en premier.
2. Je crée un menu sans rien, d'une durée de 1 seconde, qui envoie
directement sur la vidéo concernée qui est toujours un montage.
3. Je crée un menu, sans boutons, qui fait tourner cette vidéo (la
vidéo est donc un menu ^^').
Aucune de ces trois possibilités ne fonctionne... Je re-précise
qu'en prévisualisation sur Encore, ça fonctionne très bien! J'ai ma
vidéo avant mon menu. Mais je ne l'ai plus lorsque le DVD est généré.
J'en viens donc à me dire que ce n'est peut-être pas un problème de
réglage, mais un bug d'adobe Encore, ou bien un dis-fonctionnement dans
mon projet (je ne sais pas moi, un fichier corrompu, ou n'importe quoi
qui donnerait un sens à cette mascarade!)
Je vous épargnerai les habituels "Heeeelp je pète un cââââble!" ou
"Pitiééééééééé aidez-moi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" mais je n'en pense pas moins
^^'
Merci d'avance pour votre aide, qui je n'en doute pas, me sera bien
plus utile que le néant qui me sert d'idée...

Merci pour ton info. On ne pense pas toujours au problème externe au logiciel utilisé. Moi, je ne parviens pas pour le moment en prévisualisation dans encore CS5 à faire reprendre un menu animé créé sur aftereffects CS5 au Loop Point (marque sur le projet AfX) et boucle dans encore. La seule chose que j'ai réussi , c'est à créer un chapitre au point de boucle du projet Afx sur encore ( à 8 s sur 30 s) et à pointer sur celui-ci. Dans ce cas on revient effectivement au point de boucle et non au début du menu mais pour pouvoir utiliser les boutons, il faut attendre 22 s ! C'est la première fois que je fais un menu avec boucle et je cherche, je cherche....;0)

Encore CS3 crash when i click Build (SWF, BluRay, DVD Burn/Image/Folder) or Check project

So I'm finally done with my DVD. Now i want this burned to a dvd or make an image file. Each time i hit BUILD or START (Check proj) the program quits and I'm left with the normal OS X message: The application Adobe Encore quit unexpectedly >> Ignore - Report... - Relaunch
My DVD is not that fancy but i got a menu with 3 buttons made in PS with a pointer highlight and a animating background made in After Effects (using dynamic link) with some music. All of the buttons link to After effects comps with dynamic link. All of the after effects compositions are transcoded and works within the DVD preview (except the DVD menu background wont play, and i got a feeling it will play when i export an image or DVD). And all the After Effects comps links back 2 the menu when done. So there should be no error in the project flowchart.
My flowchart: http://www3.sqr.no/index.php/get/64a267e640fddd15128d082abb72e3d92a3aedf680aabe20995beb7e e10ae32f
(small jpg file)
So i hit build and Encore quits, shut down, finada (Every time!). No matter what out put settings i use. I've exported DVD's from encore before on this computer without problems.

Don't know if this any help but hope anybody got some ideas. I've been trying to look for a solution on the forums, but without any luck.
By the way, I'm using a Mac Pro v3,1 (early 2008) with 2 x 2,8ghz quads, 10GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512mb) and plenty of disk space.

Hey, i think if there could be any of the possibilities you talk about, it might have been a naming error. All files i created had the same name in the new project as in the old one. But i used 1 asset arrow that i copy pasted from a library button "Red facets button" and shift pasted on my own buttons as highlight (paste sub picture). In the first project i did not do this as a straight forward thing, a lot of deleting and adding because i had never done it before and there might have happened something with the naming of the arrow i pasted. I used the same arrow in the second project but without messing with delete, paste all the time. But some how there is no problems now, just something wrong with the last project file =S
Not so important:
I also noticed while building the new project i once got an "General error", not sure why but happened after a random crash. And 2 get rid of it i had to delete the menu and make it again (i could not edit anything in the menu without getting the error). I rebuild the menu and had another crash when exiting the program, because i thought my computer needs to boot after 2 days online. When i reopened the project i got "General error" in the menu again, but after some clicking it didn't show up (random). Finally i got my project setup and everything works, i did the copy past as sub picture as a straight forward thing.

Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

Hi,
I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder. "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
The files we're shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash. I tried this twice....
    Thanks in Advance

Hi Hunt,
       Here is the skinny. A window base PC. footage shot with HD sony HD cameras, Project imported to Premiere CS3. Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality. Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3. After about ten files or so. I got the error message. Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch. Even build a new test project with the same problem.
    Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded. So it will be a double compression and I dont want that. So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
   what do you think ????
