CS5 - Encore - MediaOffline

Hey,
i have set up an entire DVD using Premiere CS5 + Encore via DinamicLink -> all in the same Folder including Pics and Videos. -> Saved on an External HD.
Now: Because my Laptop is not as good as my PC, I wanted to creat the dvd on my PC. DVD 2 had no problem in Encore. DVD 1 was saying Media Offline in Encore -> i opened Premiere but all is fine and all videos play normally. Also Encore finds the Premiere File using Bridge or show Asset in Browser.
So whats the problem here?
I have read several discussions but mostly it was about CS5 working with CS4 or CS6 etc
PS: excuse my english since i am german ive tried my best though!

Well 2 days later and after trying like 1000 suggestions and after just writing this discussion it finally works somehow...
-> i hooked up the external HD with my Encore & Premiere file
-> started Encore -> "Media Offline"
-> restarted PC -> still having external connected
-> started Premiere and played some files in Premiere to make sure they work and are linked to pics and videos
-> then started Encore and finally no message "Media Offline" -> all via Dinamic link
well, that worked for me

CS5/Encore crash dumping/Bluescreen occasionaly ???

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
App: Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and CS5
This may be more of a "CS5 Encore" issue, but basically
I am Building a BD from PPro CS5 from:
"File -> Adobe Dynamic Link -> Send To Encore" , ...
So, half-way through the build/encoding process (while creating a BD, or DVD image file) it crashes my system. ?
(I have successly done this, with the same work project in CS4 without these annoying crashes ?)
Anyone else run into this within CS5 ?
Here's the error output after it comes back up:

Ya thanks, there is a way to start Encore and
"import" your work project from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, without CS5 running.
But I honestly thought once in Encore, PPro would/or SHOULD just "shut-down" its memory/cpu usage,..., but I guess that is not the case as easily as it might be. -hence "dynamically linked -as in lets ALL buy MORE CPU's and Memory -yes, Bill, loves us.
I will try just Encore alone next time.

Can I upgrade my CS5 Encore to CS6 Encore?

Hello. My CS5 Encore has let me down. It keeps on forcing a Close Down after trying lots of options. When I get my movie into Encore timeline either via Dynamic Link or Media Encoder, the Monitor Panel is blank. If I then click the Play button, the whole program freezes and forces a Close Down. I am on Windows 7. I have tried both Bluray and MPEG2 formats in PAL.
I have the full CS5 Premiere Pro Suite and want to know if I can upgrade just the Encore part of the suite to CS6 and if so, how? I do not wish to subscribe to monthly CC payments so would really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you. Janice

Hello Ann John and Richard and anyone else who may be interested in helping with my problem. I have re-installed and upgraded my Adobe programs. Some had errors so I quit and tried again 12hrs later. Same message, however, the errors only related to After Effects, Bridge, Extension Manager, Illustrator, Pixel Bender Toolkit, Flash Professional, Photoshop and Photoshop Camera Raw. Would there be any connection to my problem if these programs have not upgraded fully?
I have created a short video with audio and tried all of the export options through Dynamic Link and Media Encoder. I have Imported the movie into Encore also. Each time I can get the 1 minute movie into the Encore program. I can get the movie into the Timeline if I go File Export Timeline or if I go through Dynamic Link. I can't get it into the Timeline if I Export as an Asset, create a Timeline and try dragging the Video and Audio files down into the Timeline. On all of these options I am not able to see any of my movie in the Monitor Panel which is open-and that seems to be the issue. As soon as I attempt to get anything displayed in the Monitor Panel, Encore freezes and is forced to close down.
Hoping someone can help solve this problem as it is very very frustrating.
Cheers.
Janice

Subtitle problems CS5 encore 5

I have a single timeline, 4 chapters, each in a different chapter playlist. 16:9 format, 2 audio tracks, 2 subtitles tracks.
When the DVD is made the preset combinations of audio and subtitle play correctly EXCEPT the subtitle 2 that is NOT displayed . On the DVD remote of 4 different players it show that Subtitle track 2 is selected but it is not visible on the screen. If I preview it in Encore it works fine but once built it falls apart...
any suggestions on hwat I might be doing wrong?

DVD Remote "skip" Function Doesn't Work for Blu-ray Projects (CS5 Encore)

     I have graduated from SD to HD and I need help.
I just finished my first HD project in CS5, burned it to a Blu-ray disk and immediately encountered a problem: the skip forward and the skip backward remote functions don’t work. (I have encountered several other problems on the way to get here but I solved those with the help of the manual and by browsing this forum ). In this project, I am doing exactly what I have done in my previous SD projects (where this function works):
In CS5 Encore, I added “Chapter Points at Intervals…”.
On the timeline Properties Panel, I kept the default selection “Operations: All Permitted” (that includes “Search for Chapter” in the “Permitted User Operations” menu).
In the “Project Preview” window, clicking on the “Next Chapter” or “Previous Chapter”, the function is executed correctly.
Still, after burning the blu-ray disk and pressing the “skip forward” or “skip backward” buttons on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP-BD65) remote, the “Operation is not permitted” message appears. (This very remote button function works on all my SD projects.)
More background info: I am also using Encore Chapter Markers from the PrPro project linked with Adobe Dynamic Link, chapter marker End Actions (Jeff’s The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, pp. 178-180), and Bill’s advice on using the “dip to black” transition to avoid the ~1 second gap between chapters in the Chapter Playlist that I use to play all chapters. The following observation may be unrelated: in Encore’s Monitor Panel, the “Step Forward” button with pressing the Alt key does not move the CTI to the next GOP mark. The “Step Forward” or “Step Backward” functions (without pressing the Alt key) work (moving the CTI one frame)..
At this point, I desperately need the Forum’s help.
Thanks,
     - Laci.

Up to now I worked only with standard definition projects and outputted them
to DVDs. This is my HD project. My problem is that I am a bit confused with
the proper (and simple) settings for a blu-ray project. Your
questions/comments imply that I am making a "DVD project" - but then, how
can I burn it to a BD?
Here is what I am doing, and please, let me know if/where I am making my
mistake:
1.       On the camcorder the recording format is set to "AVCHD 1080/60i
HA".
2.       In the CS5 PrPro new project:
a.       General > Capture Format: HDV
b.      New Sequence > Sequence Preset > AVCHD > "AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)".
3.       In Encore: File > Project Settings > Basic:
a.       Authoring Mode: "Blu-ray"
b.      Transcode Settings: "Codec: MPEG-2; Dimensions: 1920 x 1080; Frame
Rate: 29.97, Fields: Upper Field First, Audio Transcoding Scheme: Dolby
Digital, Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate: 15.0 Mbps"
c.       In the "Default Transcode Settings" window, the Blu-ray tab is
highlighted. (There, I could change the codec from MPEG-2 to H.264 -
according to some articles it would give slightly better quality in certain
circumstances - I don't know.)
d.      On the Encore Project Panel, right clicking on the sequences, and
choosing "Transcode Settings" from the menu, I get a window that says "DVD
Transcoding" and "Blu-ray Transcoding". In the Blu-ray Transcoding section,
I choose Codec: MPEG-2, Dimension 1920x1080, Frame Rate: 29.97, Quality
Preset: Automatic Using Project Settings.
e.       Going into the "Edit Quality Presets", I change the "Export
Settings Preset" to "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality" (from the 1280x720)
4.       Now, in the Project Panel, under the Blu-ray Transcode Settings I
see: "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality MPEG-2".
Are these the correct settings for a high quality Blu-ray project? I am
re-transcoding the project with these settings to see if I still get the bad
transitions.
Thanks for your advice,
Laci.

CS5 Encore Animated Menu Rendering Problem

Anybody who could help! I am still experimenting but haven't find the solution (either very simple, or a serious bug ). Here is the problem: If I do any edit on the menu after setting the poster frames and/or inserting a motion (avi) or still (wav) background and re-render the menu, it plays the audio but shows the highlights only on a black background. Before rendering, all the (non-moving) background and/or the button pictures can be seen. For a simple experiment, I use the "NTSC Blank Menu" from the "General" Set in the Library panel with the "Drive-in Video Button". My only solution at this point is to start from the beginning with the Blank Menu and copy everything from the non-functioning menu, and insert the background and/or the button pictures (via the poster frame selection), but do not touch anything at this point, and render it, it works as it supposed to. I checked the layers in Photoshop and there is no difference between the functioning and non-functioning menu layer sets. (It points to the animation part as a possible culprit in Encore.) Also, I couldn't find any way to just remove/reinsert the background/button pictures and make it work. This might even be a quirk only with this menu? I would greatly appreciate any suggestion. - Laci.

Hi LaciG,
I just encountered the same problem tonight. So I knew exactly what you were refering to. I tried several approaches to work around this issue including erasing the motion menu background source file and re-importing in and starting the menu from scratch again and neither worked. Eventually I did find a work around here it goes: First I erased the buggy menu and motion menu source file (AVI). Next I copied the whole Encore project file and renamed it. Then I copied and renamed the avi file I used as the motion menu. After this I went in and used the template menu I originally used but renamed it in the asset list. Like you said when ever you mess with the menu like changing the chapter timeline poster or such, it messes up the render. So I made sure everything was the way it needed to be then added the AVI to the motion menu. I re-rendered and it worked. I know this is convoluted but it works, I guess this a good start but I may work on finding out what specific step it was in the process that did it. I had a similar problem in CS4 but could never figure out how to fix it and now that I have Windows 7 using CS4 Encore was a nightmare so I switched to CS5 and ran into the same bug as you. Well I hope this helps

CS5 Encore won't burn m4v on Verbatim Blu-Ray disk?

I have CS5 and Pioneer BD-RW BDR-206 (Firmware 1.04) burner drives and made my first Blu-Ray program in Premiere CS5 and exported it as Blu-Ray format (m4v), but when trying to burn it on my system, Encore CS5 doesn't recognize the blank disk (Verbatim HardCoat BD-R 25GB, 6x) and keeps asking for a disk.
I put in a regular DVD and it recorded to it without problems...but it wasn't Blu-Ray.
What's going on? I must be making a 'simple' mistake somewhere. Thanks for your help.

Hmm... I don't know if it is possible for other software to allow Encore to "see" a drive as DVD but not BluRay, but some reading that may lead to a cure
As well as the below, right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a dual layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

What's the difference between CS5, Encore CS5, and On Location CS5?

I'm about to launch my trial software and try some video editing, and clicking the desktop icon, I'm presented with 3 folders (besides the "Read Me" files): Adobe CS5, Adobe Encore CS5, and Adobe On Location CS5. I want to know the difference between the three so I know which one to open and start editing my videos. Sorry if I'm being dumb, but I'm a newbie to video editing.

OK, thanks. That helps. It's what I guessed, but don't understand how this happened or why I would want it (others might, but I never did).
But I want all my contacts to sync. How to I go about this? I don't want a bunch of dups, but I guess I'd accept that if I can easily delete the dups on the desktop (likely tedious on iPhone). As I said in the original posting for some reason some the iMac contacts are missing the address (can't imagine at some point they weren't there).
How did this happen in the first place? Maybe doesn't matter now, but would like to avoid it in the future.

CS5 Encore Multi page menu background problem

I am trying to create a multi-page Blu-Ray so there is seamless background video playback while navigating to different pages. On one of the secondary pages, I am needing to cover up a portion of the BG video with a still and some buttons over the still. Encore seems to ignor anything but buttons for all sub pages..
I'm sure it's just an issue with my PSD layer structure/ naming, but I have no Idea.
Here is page 1, each tile is a looping video
This is what Page 2 should look like. All 3 tiles to the right are stills.
Here is a shot of my layers if that helps. The highlighted folder is what is being ignored..
I know with a single page menu, you can have it set up this way, with anything you want as a BG all just put into a folder.
With the way it's currently set up, when I build an iso, it ignors the stills on the right and shows the video with the buttons ontop of that.
I have also tried making the stills the actual buttons, but the loss of color quality and an issue where some pixels are rendered transparent makes that solution not work for my purposes.
Please help, thanks!

With that confirmation, I used the workaround of making the main menu button a title-sized heading at the top, then making its text vary (e.g. the Page 0 version was Main Menu from Page 0, from Page 1 "main menu from Page 1" etc). Since the main menu button has an opaque background, it appears to change the title for each page.
Edit: You cannot use this method for a background, since it creates overlapping buttons.

Adobe CS5 Encore stops working on startup.

For over a year, I have not been able to get Encore to run. It kept stop responding on strartup. Yesterday I removed the following plugins from the Plugin Folder under Encore in the Programs folder: GPUCenterPeel.prm, GPUPageCurl.prm, GPUPageRoll.prm, GPUSphere.prm and GPUSpiralFlip.prm.
Encore now runs althrough I have not tried to create a DVD yet.
The GPUCenterPeel.prm, GPUPageCurl.prm, GPUPageRoll.prm, GPUSphere.prm and GPUSpiralFlip.prm plugins appear to be Adobe Plugins.
Does anyone know what these plugins do and are they important? Is there a site that I can download a good set of these plugins if they are importat?
Thanks,

CS5 Encore first play broken

I have a Encore project that has a timeline (quicktime video) set up as first play. It previews properly, but when I burn the disk, the produced DVD starts at the menu after the timeline when I play the disk through WMP or VLC. I don't have immediate access to a hardware DVD player to test this with, and since my target audience will likely be playing the produced DVD's from WMP or VLC it would be agreeable if the DVD's worked as advertised. Version 5.0.0.508
Three coasters and counting.

You have the end action of the main menu set to itself. Some users had problems similar to yours with this configuration, that ppeared to be resolved when the end action was changed to "stop."
Why all the overrides?
I thought there was a point to the introductory timeline, but its end action is to go to the man menu either way.
I would first change the menu end action, and see what I have. Then I'd remove all the overrides and see.

CS5 Encore library is missing

I followed the instructions at this address to solve the problem but it did not.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html
Install went normally, but libraries do not show up in the application.
Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to fix this by downloading the patch from:

Unzip and replace the library and styles folders in:
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Encore/5.0 Worked perfect but it was very confusing.

Problems creating PAL DVD containging clips with Encore CS5

Hi,
I was asked to create a menu for a DVD containing several movie clips which are mostly .FLVs and then some .AVIs. Though I'm complete new at all this DVD creating thing I got a nice working menu but when I built the DVD (which took about 45 mins) I got an error stating something about "no mpeg movie". The disk was burnt anayway (no way I could prevent that) but it doesn't work either on my pc or the DVD player.
Do I have to convert the clips before importing them into Encore? and if so, which software can i use for that? I have only limited internet access at the moment so I cant research the whole WWW for a solution. Therefore sorry for bothering you with such newbie stuff
anyway... thx for answers
M.
Oh, I'm using Productive Suite CS5 (english version on Win 7)

Depending on what is inside that AVI (see below) you should have no problems with Encore transcoding the AVI into the MPEG2/VOB format used on a DVD
I don't use FLV so have no idea if it will work with Encore (see further below)

Encore's (cs5) 'end action'- more like 'no action'

anyone know of issues with CS5 Encore's end action not working. I've linked my end action from chapter one to chapter two, etc and/or end actioned my time lines in many trial and always errors ways. I can't seem to get passed the second chapter before it links to Main menu page.
Also, getting a runtime error when trying to open Encore...??

End actions work fine for me in CS5.
I am not using the link one chapter to another workflow, however.
This method is often paired with overrides; do you have any set?

Adobe Premiere Encore CS5 & Trouble With Building

I'm writing to ask help for my collegue who has worked for a DVD for 3 days and ended up with the same problem consistently.
He did everything right as usual with CS5 Encore. Made everything including subtitles and menus, in order to create a master copy. So that we could print hundreds of it, to sell.
But whenever he pressed 'build' , the program cancelles itself.
Just to check if it's a problem with the pc, we tried it on another pc. And same problem occured.
And we made a very simple dvd sample with the same program and pc; and it worked!
So, it's quite obvious that there is something wrong with the dvd we made, which prevents us from 'building'
What could it be? We need immediate help. Thanks a lot.

As this sounds like an Encore issue, it would probably be best to post in the Encore Forum. While there will be some of the same folk as here, there are a few there, who do not hang out here, but know Encore intimately.
Before you do, however, please gather as much data on the friend's system, the method of getting from PrPro to En, the Source Files' specs., and a description of the En Project. That would be very, very helpful, and save you having to answer 100 questions.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum,
Hunt
