DVD pauses right before credits Encore CS3

Hello,
     I am making a DVD and have burned a copy, everything is fine except when the video goes into the credits the video pauses for a second or so.
Here are my steps in creating the DVD.
1. Edited movie in Premiere
2. In Premiere I went to Title>New Title>Default Still and on the 'Roll/Crawl Options' I added a Roll
3. Typed in my text and closed it.
4. I Put the Credits video clip in the timeline and added a 'Cross Disolve' transition
5. I Went to File>Export>Export to Encore   I Exported the movie with this summary -
   NTSC, 720x480, 29.97 non-drop frame [fps], Progressive, Quality 5.0
     48 kHz, 16 bit, PCM
     VBR, 2 Pass, Min 1.50, Target 4.00, Max 7.00 [Mbps]
6. In Encore I added a basic menu
7. I then Burned the DVD
Again my problem is that halfway into the cross disolve leading into the credits it pauses for ~1sec. I think it may be the way Encore burns the disc because this does not happen in the preview window of Encore.
I am using . . .
Windows XP Profesional
Premiere CS3
Encore CS3
All help is appreciated,
Nicholas

I have never heard of DiscMaker brand. Could be great, or maybe not. Many companies buy the cheapest discs that day, and then rebrand them, like Memorex, so you never know what you are getting.
An ISO is an Image of the disc, and is created, when you choose Burn to Image. It is similar to doing a Burn to Folder, but is different. The great freeware, ImgBurn can burn either the ISO, or the VIDEO_TS created with Burn to Folder. I like that second option a bit better, only because the VIDEO_TS folder will play in most DVD software players, like MediaPlayer Classic HC (freeware). ImgBurn will also tell you what the mfgr. of those discs is.
I edit most Projects, a bit differently, than many others. Each segment of my Project is in a separate Sequence in PrPro. Each starts with a tiny bit of Black Video, and then fades into the footage with a Dip-to-Black (could use a Cross-Dissolve here too). Each ends with a tiny bit of Black Video, with the same Transition. My Credits would be on their own Sequence, as all of my "chapters/scene." In Encore, each Sequence goes onto a separate Timeline, and each is created in their proper order in Encore, so my Into is done first, "Scene 1" next, and so on, then my Credits are the last to be created in Encore. That keeps the writing of these in order, so the laser does not have to skip about, unless the user does so. This makes playback as smooth as is possible, and with the Dip-to-Black, there is never any clue given the user, that the laser has to move about. Unless they had a very accurate stop watch, they'll never pick up that their might be a slight pause, waiting for the laser.
Good luck,
Hunt

No DVD predesigned menus in Encore cs3

No DVD predesigned menus available in Encore cs3. XP pro OS 3.06 Ghz Intel premium dual CPU 3.25 GB Ram. Any solutions?

Hi Jbowden,
Thank you so much for answering, very much appreciated. Yes, i'm aware that many changes have taken place in all the more recent versions of Photoshop, but i was hoping that the older one would still work, and it looks like it should. It does seem to work in layers, in trying to read the manual. But the real surprise is what you mentioned, about being able to edit menus right in Encore, because the Encore manual seemed to indicate that editing could be done only in Photoshop. That's great news! I just now tried looking ath the Concore manual again, but how in the world do i do that? Say edit a button on a submenu that says "Episode 1" to read "Monday"? Or Chapter 1 instead? Or now would i edit the main name in the "Sunset" menu from "Inspiration" to something else? For the life of me, i just can't figure out how to do that! Forget motion and stuff, i'm just hoping to achieve a regular menu that i can author a DVD with! I've been using DVD IT up to this point, and the whole concept of each program seems to be radically different. Thanks so much for all your help!

Error Message in Buiding Slideshow Encore CS3

PGC "my project" has an error at 00:06:20:04.
internal software error: %0, line project name-PGC info: name=Project Name, =Bpgc, time=00:06:20:04

I've had trouble also making a slideshow using Premier CS3 or Encore.
I've taken the M2V file made with CS3 and reencoded it on Premier Pro 2. With this new file Encore CS3 will burn a DVD.
I beleive that Encore CS3 has a problem with the Meada Encorder for CS3 because if I reencoded the CS3 M2V file using Premier CS3 I still get the PGC error in Encore CS3.
I've has also noted that when using Encore CS3 for a slideshow with a large number of large photos files, that when zoom and pam or Default Transition are selected Encore hangs up for long time with no indication that any operation is taking place. After this long time control is return to the operator. Beleive that Slideshow is processing the requested selections but it would be nice to know that this is going on and the program is working.
Adobe has done a very poor job of beta testing Encore CS3!

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.

(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.

Encore DVD 2.0 and Vista?,.....and Encore CS3 questions

Encore dvd 2.0....are you guys going to continue to support this and make a patch for it to run under Vista? if so where can I find it? Kind of bad to buy a product and the company drops support on it immediately after purchase and it won't run on the operating system....
Also is/will there be and upgrade to encore dvd 2.0?
I know that you have Encore cs3, is that the upgrade to encore 2.0? and will you be selling Encore CS3, separate from Premiere? I need nothing in Premiere and want the Encore dvd and for it to run with Vista. Please have an option to buy just the Encore CS3 without having to buy premiere and stuff that I don't need because if that is the case then I will not be buying Adobe products anymore. I won't be forced to purchase extra software I have no need for in order to get the one program that I want...it is not worth it..easier to change to a different company for that product...just asking...and if you care about your customers, you might at least listen and consider what I have requested..thanks..t

>chances of them selling encore cs3 in the future separate?
Since their entire marketing push seems to be the bundling of the 2 products, I would say "slim to none"
>hurry and buy encore 2.o
The least expensive way to get Encore 3 is to buy Premiere Pro 2 right NOW and get a free upgrade to Pro3+Encore3 when it is released
If you have any previous version of Premiere, you may even buy Pro2 for the upgrade price and receive the free upgrade to the version 3 duo

Encore CS3 error, won't build DVD?!

I've created a basic menu in Encore CS3 with two buttons and two separate timelines. I've checked and previewed my project several times and everything works OK. However, whne I try and build a DVD disk, I get this error message: "PGS "file name" has an error at 3;29;14 (the very end of the video clip) Internal software error: %0. line (my file name). PGC info: name= "my file name" ref= EPGC.time=00;3;29;14.
I rendered this video clip out of After Effects CS3 as an mpeg2 file. Have tried re-rendering out of a new After Effects project and result is the same. Have also tried different disks, same result.
The second clip in the Encore project works fine; it was captured the same way in the same format. Both timelines play fine whne previewed in Encore and all links and buttons fiunction perfectly.
What does this error mean and how do I correct the problem?
Thanks!

Some of us experience this pgc error (only in CS3) and have found no real solution. There are a variety of workarounds. I believe the most persistent version is the result of some unidentified combination of hardware and software.
One qualifier: I'm not sure that any of us that reported had exported the timeline file from AE. I don't see that it shojl dmatter, but I'd consider the possibility that it is an actual asset error.
I believe that there are 3 variations, and they may have different implications: timelines (your issue), motion menus, and slide shows.
Copies of projects and assets taken to a machine/user who does not experience the error work fine. Some users have done a ridiculous amount of testing (I'm one), and some have declared a solution (I am not one, and believe there are probably multiple causes). Since CS4 is out, I doubt we will ever see any further resolution, and, since the problem can not be reliably repeated in a new project with new assets, no "bug" was ever demonstrated.
The first rule is to use flawless workflow. (I'm copying this from notes on a previous post, and I still don't find a link right off to Neil Wilkes' and Jeff Bellune's descriptions, but one example is never changing assets with Encore closed.) But I have instances in which I was perfect (ha, ha), and the error occurred.
In most instances, one or more workarounds can be used. If you used a muxed file, do it again with demuxed. If you used files that were in the same folder as the xmpses files (the files premiere creates to carry project/chapter info), delete the files other than the m2v and wav and reimport the asset as a timeline. (You will have to redo the chapter markers. It is best to delete the old file from the project, and have the newly imported file renamed. However, I have done it various ways successfully.) If you have long file names with spaces, shorten and remove the spaces.

HT1583 When burning a DVD of photos and music from iDVD, the photos blur right before the transitions and the music has about 5 second glitches here and there before the music starts again. Is there any way to burn the DVD without this happening?

Each year I am in charge of making a slideshow of photos and music for my annual company meeting. I always use iDVD to set up my photos and music and then burn the DVD to play at the meeting. Every time I burn the DVD, it blurs right before the transition of the photo. It has always done this and I'm not sure why. It will also make the music glitch in a few spots for about 5 seconds or more. If I burn another DVD to try it again, the glitches will still be there, but in different spots. I've tried the highest quality of DVD's possible and this still happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

Try disabling transitions altogether!
There is a technical reason that this breakup happens - it is to do with how slideshows can be saved within the DVD specification, they can either be recorded as 'video streams' or as a collection of 'still images'.
When you add transitions iDVD has no option but to use a video stream, this can result in terrible 'breakup' because the mpeg 2 encoder isn't designed to handle scenes that are static with a sudden short change. You can see 'artefacts' in the video stream…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact
'Still image slideshows' avoid the issue altogether by only showing a static image, no video compression is used & because the scene doesn't transition so it shouldn't breakup.
NOTE: Music on the slideshow is irrelevant, both types can use a soundtrack.
I cannot remember if it is possible to force iDVD to only make still image slideshows, I always use DVD Studio Pro to correctly setup DVD's. I'd suggest you use the option to save the DVD to a disk image & then open that disk image so that DVD Player can preview it, that should save on the number of test disks you burn.
If you cannot make it avoid using video streams you may be ether off making your own video slideshow in iMovie & then import that into iDVD. It may eventually look better despite being a video stream!
iDVD isn't really condusive to professional levels of control.

Encore DVD to Encore CS3

I have a DVD that was created with the Premiere 2.0 and then into Encore DVD. Now I need to make this same DVD into a BluRay. I have the new Encore CS3 but it is not letting me open the file.
Any hope of this working?
I also I cannot open the old Premiere file into CS3. Is there a way around this.
Thanks,
ms

Unless you still have the original, untranscoded AVI files, then forget it. Seriously.
And if you need to make more than a couple of burned copies, forget it.
You cannot replicate Blu Ray created in Encore CS3 - the plants will
i not
accept the discs.

Can't create working DVD in Encore CS3

Hi,
I'v created an Encore CS3 project which works perfectly when built to a flash (.swf) and the buttons, menus & videos all works perfectly in the preview in Encore.
I've tried burning DVDs two ways:
1. directly from Encore
2. burn an image to my hard drive and burn that to disc using "ImgBurn" which is freeware recommended by another forum user.
Both have the same result - the video will play on my pc, but the buttons won't work. When I try a DVD player, the first play opens up but it won't allow me to arrow through menus or select anything - I tried both the play key & the enter key on the remote.
I'm burning to a DVD+R
Any ideas? What have I done wrong?

The first thing I would check would be whether there are any overlapping buttons.

Premiere CS3 avi to Encore CS3 DVD

I have captured an avi video in Premiere CS3. I want to burn it to a DVD in Encore CS3. Do I want to create an MPEG 2 file first and then send it to Encore or do I want to send it directly as an avi file? I want the DVD without menus.

> What is the advantage of creating the MPEG2 file in Premiere CS3?
1.) If you have a 24p timeline, you can export it as 24p MPEG2 -- for some reason Encore will not encode 24p
2.) You dont need to create an intermediary AVI file.
a) A lot of folks think that DV is the ideal intermediary for DVD. It is not. The format is quite lossy; especially for graphics, photos, animation, titles, etc.
b) Alternatively, you can export as a lossless or uncompressed format, but these files are very large for long projects -- and Premiere does not output uncompressed very efficiently anyway. Better to use a lossless codec like Lagarith.
c) Jeff's approach is a fine one also, but this will only work for a single sequence (which is totally appropriate to the OPs needs, however). For multiple sequences, it is best to use lossless AVI files as I mentioned in my last point.

Encore CS3 subtitle from DVD to avi

I have two problems in my subtitle process.
1) I have made subtitles manually in a 5 minute movie, within the safe margins of the screen. None are more than one(1) line long. I have the movie to play at once (no menu) and just a single subtitles track. It works fine when I preview it in encore (cs3), however, when I build a DVD folder and play it, there are no subtitles and I cannot enable them.
I am quite new with encore, so perhaps I am missing something vital (apart from not being experienced ;)). What should I do?
2) I need my subtitles to work if I convert the DVD files to another format. That is, I will be needing it for a youtube video, with subtitles or something similar. Is there any method to prefer above others - and what should I be aware of, when I convert.
Will subtitles from a correct DVD folder, be integrated in a conversion?
Thanks in advance,
- M.

Encore CS3: Not closing DVD's

I had no issues with Encore 1 or 2, but ever since I've installed Encore CS3, my DVD's are still "open". This is confirmed by using Roxio 9's disc properties.
The reason this is important is, my DVD dubber will not dub open discs. I need them closed.
Is this a bug? Again, when I burned DVD's with Encore 2, they were fine. It wasn't until I upgraded to CS3 (just two days ago) when the 'open disc' issues started.

Most applications will dub open DVD's.
The problem I ran into is, I have a DVD duplicating tower and it just won't accept open DVD's. We've contacted the manufacturer and that's just the way the machine and drives work. The DVD's need to be closed.
Again, this is the only system that I've ever run into a problem (regarding open DVD's).
That's probably why Adobe isn't getting many complaints. Most people are using Nero or Roxio, which isn't giving them any issues when dubbing. Since my company is using a specialized dubbing system (which the average user wouldn't own), I seem to be one of the few who are noticing this issue.
and Minu, I'm confused about you saying that DVD-R's are being closed, because that's not the case with me and the Adobe tech even confirmed that Encore CS3 will not close DVD-R's.
p.s. I see jbowden posted while I was typing this. Yes, this is only an issue with certain dubbing systems that require closed DVD's.

IDVD 5.0.1 -spits dvd out at "finished recording" right before burning

howdy:
i am going crazy trying to burn a dvd with old home movies that were transferred from vhs. after i dubbed them onto dvds, i ripped them using dvdxdvpro, which broke each 2-hour dvd into 8-minute increments. i then edited them and put them in the correct order using imovie and thought i was home free. but when i use idvd to burn it, the same thing keeps happening: it goes through all of the correct motions (taking hours to encode) and then spits the dvd out at the finished recording screen, right before it has a chance to burn. because the movie was large (3:59), i used a double layer dvd. a friend thought the movie was too large so i tried making a mini version that is 24 minutes, but the exact same thing happened.
also, it seems like my movies are really big: 78.21 gb for the large one and 6.43 for the small one. is there any way to make them smaller?
thanks much

Hi
Size in Gbs of no interest to iDVD only time. This includes times for menu !
To be able to work iDVD needs a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk
This can't be altered to other hard disk. Space has to be there.
This is for 4x3 standard TV-video. For HD most probably about 4 times more is needed.
else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
Yours Bengt W

Maximale Qualität auf DVD mit Encore CS3?

Ich brenne direkt aus dem Schnittprogramm CS3 mit Adobe Encore auf DVD. Doch der volle Speicherplatz der DVD 4,7 GB wird trotz maximaler Einstellungen in Encore nicht ausgenutzt.
Einstellungen: Widescreen, CBR Qualität 5 und 5 MBit/s, Anzeige Speichermenge: 4,5 GB. Auf der gebrannten DVD bleibt aber ca. ein Viertel Speicherplatz frei.
Bei einer höheren Qualitätseinstellung in Encore, z.B. 5,3 MBit/s - kommt die Meldung Speicherplatz überschritten, brennen nicht möglich. Tatsächlich stimmt das aber nicht.
Wie kann ich mit Encore CS3 den Speicherplatz einer DVD voll ausnutzen?
Bei Double Layer tritt das gleiche Probleme auf.
Für Rat bin ich dankbar.
Gerhard

Hast du mal darauf geachtet, welche Frequenz du hast 44,1 oder 47 kHz? Da kann der Ton schon mal weg sein. Da gibt es unterschiedliche Standards für VideoDVD und TonCD.

Encore DVD 2.0 Menüs in Encore CS3

Hallo ihr Lieben,
ich habe gerade eine mittelmäßige Herausforderung mit dem neuen Encore CS3.
Nach Öffnen meines aktuellen, mit En 2.0 erstellten, Projektes musste ich feststellen, dass alle automatisch erstellten Textunterbilder in den Menüs verschoben sind (kein schöner An- und Ausblick bei einem Projekt mit über 60 Menüs.
Deaktivieren und wieder aktivieren der "Textunterbild erstellen"-Option oder des Textes als Button hilft nicht. Bei neu geschriebenen Texten werden die Unterbilder exakt platziert.
Hat jemand einen Tipp oder eine Idee, wie man diesen offensichtlichen Import-Bug beheben kann?
Liebe Grüße
Rayco
