DVD Audio not synching in Encore CS4

Problem: I'm creating NTSC dvd in Encore CS4 and audio starts out fine but begins "skipping" around after about 2 minutes. Project looks and sounds fine in PPCS4. The project is 3hrs and 40 min. long. I'm using Verbatim DVD-R's and have been using them for over 2 yrs. - Windows platform. Write speed is 18x. There are no transitions or edits at the point at where audio starts "skipping" or "jumping" and the video shows a man speaking in front of an audience and continues showing him, then all of a sudden the audio skips.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 2-DVD set is probably a good idea. I have been faced with similar. I have one client whose player will NOT play any burned DL discs. For him, I need to break things down to multiple disc sets.
Even with limited motion Assets, I try to limit DVD-5's to 120 mins. of Duration. If I go much over that (just a rule of thumb, based on my tests of quality), I'm reaching for the DVD-9's, or looking to find logical disc breaks in PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt

Free dvd maker is better than encore cs4

Hi Forum,
OS: Win Vista Ultimate 64bit
Encore CS4
Windows DVD Maker
I have shot some footage and have they in dvd pal format.
I was able to create a motion menu, slide show and advd with encore cs4. i could play the dvd on pcs and normal dvd player on the tv.
But: Slide Show and all Movies are flickering. Menu also.
Than i tryed Windows DVD Maker (Free when you have Ultimate Vista).
I used there absolutely the same videos and photos. Result: Slide show and video quality was perfect and without flickering problems.
I spent a lot of money and o can not believe that this free tool dvd maker is better than encore cs4.
so please help me to solve this problem.
I really don't know what i could try.
Thank you and see you soon.

Hi,
Could somebody tell me which settings i should set on premiere cs4 to export in a good format to import to encore cs4?
Maybe i could solve my problem on using the right settings on exporting a video from premiere cs4.
Thank you

Audio not synching during publish

Hello everyone. I'm working in Captivate 4, (purchased, not
trial). I'm relatively new user, but have been working intensely
for about a month developing my tutorial.
My project previews correctly, (entire file is 117 slides, 9
minutes long.)
However, after publishing to an AVI file, the audio does not
match up with the video - the audio playback is slightly slower,
and after 2 minutes, has lapped the slide.
I tried different publish settings, but have not found
anything to work, although changing some settings have improved the
output somewhat.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
This file will be published on YouTube. This is a
demonstration video only.
My audio was developed using text to speech, (so no music
quality sound is required) and each slide has one audio file per
slide, (nothing embedded.)
Settings I chose were:
Video Format: MJPEG Compressor (tried Indeo, but syncing was
worse)
Audio: PCM (only choice)
Encoding: FM Radio (64) and 11.025 KHz Frequency
Encoding Speed 5
I restarted, and do not have any other program actively
running (except Kasperski)
We recently reformatted the hard drive on this machine, took
every program off, defragmented, so the system is very lean and
clean.
Added more memory, so now we have 3 GIG of memory.
Running XP, the only installed programs are MS Office,
Kasperski, and Captivate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Audio not transferring to Encore from Premiere Pro CS6

I'm trying to export a sequence through the Adobe Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro CS6 to Encore and the audio is not transferring with video. The video is 30 minutes long with multiple video and audio tracks. The video came through fine, but no audio track. However, I also brought a timeline into the project that was less than 3 minutes and the audio track came with it. Any suggestions/help much appreciated! Thank you!

Yes--that is correct. Audio track in Premiere but no audio track present in Encore. I believe the audio format in Premiere is Stereo. It is HD footage shot on a C-100 camera. The sound was recorded into the camera and all brought in together. I did end up doing the work around that was suggested and just exported an MPEG2-DVD and pulled the audio in manually. But, would love to try to figure out how to make it work directly using Adobe Dynamic Link. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Teri, do this for me, if you would, please:
Check "
Movie > Preferences > Preferences tab > (check)
"Include Audio When Movie Is Generated".
Did that help?
To Everyone Monitoring This Thread: Another easily
overlooked troublemaker is the "Audio" icon (tiny speaker) located
beneath the timeline when you are viewing a single slide
(duh - sorry, brain fart - of course that's when yo see it because
the timeline isn't visible until you go to Edit mode - double duh).
Anyway, if you click it, you will turn audio off for
all single-slide previews - note ... I said ONLY previews of
the currently open slide. This will NOT affect other previews, nor
will it affect audio in the published product . . .
Hope this info helped some - have a good weekend!

Mac DVD Superdrive not recognized in Encore CS5

I'm trying to burn a DVD using Encore CS5 on my new Mac Pro. I already spoke with Apple to troubleshoot to see if it was the drive. It was not the drive. Therefore, there is a problem with Encore not recognizing the drive. In the destination window in Encore, where it says "Recorder" in the build tab, it says "None Found". Anyone know what the problem is?

Well, in the WINDOWS world some software will cause Encore to not be able to "see" a drive, so read the links below... I don't know if the same kind of thing happens in the MAC world

Again in the Windows world, if the user can't or won't remove the offending software for some reason, the solution is to have Encore build the project to hard disk (folder or create an ISO) and then use 3rd party software to burn the folder or ISO to DVD

In fact, just go ahead and tell Encore to write the project to your hard drive and then use other software to write that output to a DVD... if that works, you know that "something" is getting in the way of Encore being able to communicate with your drive

Audio not synching with video when capturing

When capturing video from my Sony DV camera, the audio is always out of synch with the video which has forced me to move the audio in the timeline to manually synch. The amount by which it's out of synch seems to vary, i.e. not always out of synch by the same number frames.
I'm sure there's a capture setting to fix it but have yet to locate it.
Thanks.

A separate issue perhaps, but after my recent upgrade to CS6 I need to render out a stacked 18 minute timeline done in CS5 (Win 7/Matrox MXO2). All 7 tracks of audio are out of synch 8 frames late. When it comes to common backwards compatibility issues that I feared, it's a pretty simple fix after a render, unlink and re-render. I don't see this mentioned in the archives, so if anyone has an explanation or quick fix I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Adding Chapter Marks makes DVD audio not work

I sent a 65-minute video to Compressor from Final Cut Pro X. In Compressor I used the 'Dolby Digital Professional' and 'MPEG-2 for DVD' settings from the Disc Burning folder as targets, and added a job action to create the DVD. I left all default settings. DVD worked fine with good audio and great picture. Then I manually added Chapter marks in Compressor and created another DVD. This DVD had no sound for about half the video. Any ideas on how I can add Chapter marks in Compressor without losing audio? This is for a school Talent Show with about 25 different acts, so I really want to have a Chapter selection on the DVD. If I try other apps to make the DVD (FCP X, iMovie, iDVD) the video quality suffers terribly, so I'm hoping I can get Compressor to work. Thanks for any help.

I've come up with a fairly straightforward workaround for this. In Final Cut Pro X, before sending to Compressor, do an audio-only export to an AC3 file (Share...Export media, select "Audio Only" for Export and "AC file" for Audio file format). Then use the "Send to Compressor" function from the Share menu in FCP X. In Compressor, create a DVD using the standard "Dolby Digital Professional" and "MPEG-2 for DVD" settings and adding a "Create DVD" job action. Make sure the target AC3 file name in Compressor has a different name (or location) than the AC3 file you created in FCP X. The resulting DVD does have intermittent audio as before, so it can be discarded.
Here's the trick:
Open the folder containing the Compressor-created AC3 file, copy the file name, then move that file to the Trash. Find the FCPX-created AC3 file, rename it with the name of the Compressor-created AC3 file, and move it into the folder where the Compressor-created AC3 file was before you moved it to the Trash. Now you can resubmit your job from Compressor and it will burn a new DVD using the AC3 file you created from FCP X, which should have good audio. For me this created a great looking DVD with the high quality MPEG-2 video from Compressor, and the good audio AC3 from FCP X.
I think there is a bug when sending FCP X projects with multi-cam portions to Compressor. I've seen two other cases of this on the discussion boards and multi-cam appears to be the common thread. I can't think of any logical reason that an AC3 file created in FCP X would sound fine, but the same FCP X project sent to Compressor results in an AC3 file with intermittent audio.
At one time I thought the issue was exceeding the capacity of the DVD. But after experimenting I learned that an AC3 file created in Compressor from my multi-cam FCP X project has intermittent audio, even without a "Create DVD" job action. (I used VLC to play back the AC3 file and had the same intermittent audio I had with the DVD).

Audio not synched with video

I imported a video clip and when I placed it in the viewer, the audio and video are not synced. How do I sync the audio and video so they match up?

Is this a constant sync problem or does it drift over time?
If it is constant, drop the clip on your Timeline and unlink the audio -press command and L keys.
Slip the audio back into sync and export the clip with current settings, self contained.
Reimport back into FCP and use that version.

Encore CS4 is transcoding compliant Blu-Ray audio assets when set to 'Do not transcode'

Hi there,
I have a Blu-Ray concert video project consisting of 3-menus, 4-sequentially linked timelines (intro-1, intro-2, main concert timeline, and credits).
All audio assets consist of 96k/24-bit WAV files from the same professionally rendered mastered audio source.
Here's the issue:
When importing my 96k/24-bit audio assets in Encore CS4, they all show as Blu-Ray compliant and maintain the 'Do not transcode' property in the assets menu.
However, after rendering the project to Blu-Ray I immediately noticed that the main concert timeline (2-hrs 10-min) had been transcoded down to 48k/16-bit while the other smaller intro/credits timelines had rendered correctly and were playing back at the desired 96k.24-bit rate.
In order to eliminate possible issues with the main timeline's audio file source, I created a smaller main timeline (35-min) using the exact same audio source files and lo & behold - the main timeline was not down-transcoded and is playing back at the desired 96k/24-bit rate.
I'm wondering if there is a non-documented limitation in rendering audio files over a certain size as my main timeline is made up of 2-total WAV files of 2.2Gb each.
I have the ability to import a single AIFF file at 4.4GB for the main timeline - but for some reason CS4 does not recognize AIFF files as Blu-Ray compliant and will show the transcode setting as 'Automatic'.
Imported AIFF files always showed as 'Do not transcode' in the Blu-Ray assets menu in Encore CS3 (even though there is a documented bug which prevents rendering AIFF audio to Blu-Ray and I would have to convert to WAV files and re-import anyway in CS3).
My next step is to try splitting the main timeline into shorter chunks, but this is not the direction I want to go in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Cheers

Ok, solved my own problem - solution below for those with similar issues.
1. My audio timelines exported from Final Cut Pro as AIFF are actually 'AIFC' which is technically not Blu-Ray compliant, thus Encore will need to transcode. Unfortunately - Encore has no quality preset settings for dealing with PCM audio transcodes higher than 48k/16-bit (why not?). Encore CS4 will happily pass 96k/24-bit through to a Blu-Ray build without transcoding if the supplied file is true AIFF (not-AIFC) and/or similarly compliant WAV files.
2. My main Encore timeline consisted of 2-WAV files at 2.2Gb each placed in a single Encore timeline due to the total audio being over 4GB thus requiring me to split the source audio files in half in order to stay under the 4GB limit for WAV files, and also because I had to export the FCP audio timeline using Compressor in order to generate Blu-Ray compliant audio files (non-AIFC). Also - (possible bug?) if Encore has 2-separate audio files in the same timeline it will transcode the audio to the current project's default audio settings (48k/16-bit in my case) - even though the assets are showing as 'Do not transcode' in the asset menu for Blu-Ray. It clearly states in the Encore CS4 manual that imported WAV files at 96k/24-bit will not be transcoded - but it appears in this case when 2-audio files are placed in the same timeline that it will transcode with no warning - bothersome to say the least.
I suppose the alternative is to work with a lossless audio format which supports files larger than 4GB - which would only require a single audio file for a single Encore timeline, but other than DTS Master Audio (not available on this project) I'm not sure what audio format would work in Encore to support 96k/24-bit audio files larger than 4GB.
If anyone knows - drop some knowledge!
-Cheers

Encore CS4 Button & Loop Issues

I am building a DVD in Encore CS4 and have two issues. The DVD consists of a main menu with one button linked to the main timeline (3 min 45 sec) and a video(1 min 2 sec 21 frames) linked for the menu to have motion along with an audio clip with the same run time. The video and audio were exported from Encore CS4 as MPEG2-DVD.The loop point is set to 9 sec 11 frames and is set to forever.
Issue 1- When I try to preview the project in Encore before burning it starts as it should but stops at the loop point (9 sec 11 frames into it) and plays from the beginning. When I burn the DVD the loop works properly but I can not see it in the preview prior to burning. I wasted a couple of discs lining up the loop point due to no preview. I should also note that
Issue 2- When the DVD is burned and played it loads the menu which plays as it should. At the 9 second mark a button appears signifying the loop point which when selected begins the actual video, as it should. After the video finishes and it loops back to the 9 second mark the button vanishes. The only way to navigate at this point is to hit the top menu button which starts it from scratch.
I went back to a test burn I made and the button remained continuously after looping. What could I have hit that is now making the button vanish? And what can I do to get a full preview before going to build?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Cole

1 is a problem. Encore's preview capabilities have never been flawless. Use rewritable disks to avoid coasters.
2 is new, but I can't think of anythjing off hand to explain it.

Encore CS4's Slideshow component= WORTHLESS

Hi,
When I create slideshows in Adobe Encore CS4 and then build them, they look "fine" when played on a computer DVD player.
However, when playing the authored DVD on an actual DVD player attached to a TV, the playback is cropped, images come out extremely dark, and each song flickers at the start of the slideshow.
I've done a lot more testing of building slideshows in Adobe Encore CS4, before I came to this realization:
ADOBE ENCORE CS4 IS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR WAYS OFF FROM BEING READY FOR PRODUCTION USE FOR SLIDESHOWS. DO NOT USE ADOBE ENCORE CS4 FOR ANY SORT OF ACTUAL PRODUCTION USE FOR SLIDESHOWS.
I am extremely frustrated how obvious that there was absolutely no quality assurance testing with Adobe Encore CS4. When you use Adobe Encore CS4, the whole feel of using the software is that it was totally rushed out the door at about 55% complete.
My top complaints:
-When importing multiple images to the Encore library, occasional images do not get imported at all(WTF???????????????)
-images that are imported to the Encore library occasionally LOSE THEIR ORIGINAL ASSET when saving, closing, then re-opening a project.
-Encore CS4 slows down literally, exponentially, as you add a lot of images to the library. At about 500 images of about 3-4 megs each, my Core 2 Quad with 6 gigs of ram slows to a crawl.
-when in the slow state, Adobe Encore CS4 crashes randomly (and this slow state is when most of the slideshow editing needs to get done)
-authored playback is cropped
-authored playback comes out extremely dark on DVD players
-99 slide limit, which is overcome by dividing the slideshow into two slideshows, but.. there is a long and awkward pause when shifting between two slideshows during playback
Using Adobe Encore CS4 for slideshows is gauranteed to leave an extremely bad user experience and some loss of respect for Adobe.
I have no choice but to learn what other DVD slideshow building software is out there. So far, Nero, and even Windows Movie Maker, which comes free with windows seems better than Adobe Encore CS4, in terms of building slideshows.

I've been using Adobe Encore CS4 to author Blu-Ray discs with slideshows on my iMac. I've found a solution that seems to work well. But I don't use the Encore slideshow editor for this purpose.
When I import high-quality 16:9 JPEG photos directly into Encore and build a slideshow using the Encore slideshow editor, the results are terrible when viewed on a big-screen HDTV connected to a Blu-Ray player. The colors seem off, and the resolution is horrible. There are all sorts of jagged edges and other artifacts. A slideshow on a standard-definition DVD built using iPhoto and iDVD looks much better than a "high-definition" Blu-Ray slideshow built using the Encore CS4 slideshow feature.
A better solution is to simply build the slideshow in iPhoto, cropping the individual photos to 16:9 (or using the 16:9 setting on your digital still camera, if it has one), and export the iPhoto slideshow as a high-definition QuickTime movie file (*.mov). You will have to play around a bit to find the option in iPhoto that allows custom export settings, but once you find it you can encode the entire slideshow using the H.264 codec with full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Then you can import the resulting *.mov file into Encore as an asset, then create a timeline for it. You basically treat it like a movie in Encore. The final result looks great on my 1080p TV. Breathtaking, in fact.
Encore CS4 for Mac seems to have lots of bugs in it. For example, I just downloaded the latest update yesterday (I think it was 4.0.1). Now, whenever I try to build a Blu-Ray project, I get an error message, no matter what I do. Even if I start a new project from scratch. So I had to use Apple Time Machine to restore the previous version of Encore (4.0.0.258), which works fine.
Another bug is that you can't change the title of an HD menu in Encore. Encore has a very limited number of HD menus. If you want to change the title of an HD menu from the generic one provided ("Our Travel Diaries", for example) to your own title ("Our 2009 Summer Vacation", for example), you can't do it in Encore. Well, maybe YOU can. But I can't figure out how to do it. So I export the menu to Photoshop Elements, change the text there, and re-import it into Encore. You can change the titles of buttons directly in Encore. But not the actual menu title.
Also, Encore has caused trouble for me when I try burning Blu-Ray rewritable discs. So I simply use Encore to create a *.iso image file, then burn it using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium.
Anyway, with these various workarounds, I'm finally able to create high-quality Blu-Ray discs with movies and slideshows that look great on my 60-inch Sony SXRD 1080p TV.
It's a shame that somebody doesn't produce a simple interlocking suite of consumer-grade Mac-compatible tools that can be used for the entire HD workflow from camera to Blu-Ray disc, similar to the way in which iMovie, iPhoto, and iDVD work for standard-definition DVDs. Apparently, the latest version of Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows does this sort of thing. But there's nothing equivalent for the Mac. And Apple still seems to be dragging its feet with regard to Blu-Ray.
Some people have expressed the opinion that it's OK for Encore CS4 to include a slideshow editor that's essentially useless. I tend to disagree. Any significant feature that gets added to a piece of software and that's advertised as being useful ought to work at least reasonably well. But then my background is in the hardware industry, not the software industry. In hardware, even a minor glitch can cost a company millions of dollars in lost revenue, recalls, loss of customer confidence, etc. Software designers, by contrast, seem to be able to get away with a degree of sloppiness that would quickly bankrupt a company in the hardware world.
However, I'm at least grateful that by using Encore CS4 in conjunction with Final Cut Pro, Compressor, iPhoto, Photoshop Elements, and Toast, I'm able to produce a very nice Blu-Ray disc that provides jaw-dropping picture and sound quality for movies and slideshows.
