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

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

Encore CS3 crashes when building to Flash (Windows)

I've built a project that has no problem burning a DVD or rendering an ISO image. However, when I try to author a Flash version of the project, it spends hours transcoding, then Encore CS3 crashes. (Generic Windows "Encore CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close" error.) The only issue that shows up when checking the project is an orphan timeline, but it is linked into the project through playlists.
Any suggestions on how to create a flash version successfully?
Specs:
AMD Dual Core 4800+ (2.51Ghz)
2 Gigs memory
Windows XP SP3

I'm also having issues with Encore crashing all of the time. Whenever I try to build a flash file it crashes near the end. I have a few large videos in there and can build a flash file without the videos in, but why does it keep crashing when the videos are in.... I thought this is what this software is designed for!
Has anyone had any luck getting around their crashes?
To reduce the size of the videos what setting do you suggest changing?
Thanks and good luck to everyone else using Encore!
Matt.

Encore CS3 won't go past splash page

I installed Encore CS3 as part of the Adobe CS3 Master Collection and it won't start. It brings up the box that shows it starting the program, but then, as it's about to open, it crashes. Any ideas?

After scouring the other forums I found post explaining that you need to turn Adobe Version Cue on, and it works. No need to remove drives or anything.

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)

Please help. Where is the Encore CS3 download?

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

My adobe illustrator CS3 won't work with OS X Yosemite

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.

IDVD selectively won't recognize .mp4 format - how to burn for dvd player?

Hi -
I'm trying to burn a .mp4 movie for my gf's family so they can watch it on their TV instead of my tiny comp. After trying DiskUtility and iTunes (both to no avail, DU wouldn't even allow me to select a .mp4 format to burn on the DVD; iTunes burnt the movie, but it doesn't play on the DVD player ...). I thought I'd try iDVD, but it won't recognize the movie I'd like to burn - says the format is unrecognized. Tried with another movie, same format (.mp4) and it worked just fine.
I'm really at a loss - I didn't expect it would be so difficult to burn a DVD! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Rax

Alright, my results correspond with Russ' hypothesis: both videos I tried are in the same format & at the same FPS, the only difference b/w them is the audio. The one that worked is Stereo (L R), the one that does not is the 5.1.
Unfortunately, I do not have Quick Time Pro, I just have QTP 10.1 that came w/ Lion (& an older version that I added b/c it allows playback speed control). Here, the export options are:
480p
720p
iPod touch & iPhone 3GS
iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV
Audio only
None of these were an obvious choice to me, any suggestions? I've heard something about "Toast", would this be an easier / better option?
Thank you for on-going help. Very much appreicated.
Kind regards,
Rax

Encore CS3 crash while building slideshow

Wanted to post the solution to an Encore crash regarding the slideshow build step.
Scaling down the resolution of 66 tiff images that had made up a slideshow
worked around a problem in Encore. The final step of creating an iso
image had been failing after many minutes of processing the slideshow.
Using images scaled down to 720x480, the native resolution of an SD DVD, resolved the problem.
From CS3 Bridge, selected all the images,
then from the Bridge menu Tools -> Photoshop -> Image Processor ...
selected the 'resize to fit' option
and specified 720 for width and 480 for height and saved the images
to a new directory.
Had to delete the old slideshow timeline and build the new one but
Encore makes that simple enough. Import the images as a timeline,
set the transition, add the music track, set the random pan and zoom,
and linked the new asset to the menu again.
I don't know if another resolution would have been better given the
slight zooming resulting from the random pan and zoom feature but the
results look fine regardless.

Andrew,
Though it sounds too late to help with Encore, there are a couple of things to think about. That 80% Transcoding issue throws up a few possibilities to me:
1.) heat buildup in the CPU - Transcoding is very CPU intensive
2.) power supply not up to the task, or going bad
3.) HDD filling up to a critical point - that slowdown and then hang could be a sign of this, as HDD's loose a good deal of their efficiency near the 75% full point, and will shut down, as 100% is approached.
4.) something in the Project at about that point?
5.) something else entirely
Good luck, and happy authoring, regardless of which program you use.
