Encore CS3 and Windows 7

Windows 7 advisor is telling me that it will be a minor issue to run Encore CS3 under the new platform. Does Adobe have any plans to address this issue?

Some users have had good luck with Win7. However, two recent builds seem to have broken much that is Adobe. Their systems ran fine, until one of the later builds. The next build did not fix things. Have not heard where Win7 is now. Hope that MS was able to fix, whatever broke things Adobe. That is what beta testing is all about, so long as beta testers report back to MS.
As for Adobe working on Win7, it will not happen until Adobe gets the full release of Win7. Right now, it's a moving target and is still in beta, regardless of what characters appear after the Win7 name.
I'd anticipate that CS5 will be certified for Win7, provided that it's out by the release of CS5.
Personally, I'd wait for Win7 SP1 and use whichever verson of Encore is approved for Win7, but then I have work to get out, and do not have time to beta test OS's.

Encore CS3 and Final Cut Pro

Is there any way to import chapter markers into Encore from FCP, or do I have to recreate them all from scratch in Encore?
I have a feature-length movie I added chapters to in Final Cut Pro. I then exported it as QuickTime with DVD Studio Pro chapter markers included, then transcoded it using Compressor.
Importing the resulting audio and video files into DSP results in the expected Chapters in the timeline, but bringing the assets into Encore does not. I also tried exporting the QuickTime movie from FCP with the "All Markers" option, but that didn't work either.
I want to give Encore a chance over DSP due to the better integration with Photoshop and AE CS3 for motion menus and menu animation... but I'm currently using a Final Cut Studio-based workflow, and there doesn't seem to be support for that in Encore. I don't even see any mention of Final Cut in the Encore manual.
Note that I'm using Encore CS3 on Windows. FCP... is of course on my Mac.

This looks promising. Too bad there's no standard exchange format for DVD Chapter Markers.
http://www.spherico.com/filmtools/start.html
XML2Text (updated for XML version 2)
is a powerful tool to read FCP sequence XMLs, extract useful information and store this information in different formats or convert it.
Some of the key features:
* Get/review chapter Markers from Final Cut Pro Sequence Markers to create a chapter list for DVD Studio Pro or other encoders than Apple's Compressor.
* Create a merged tape of selects or used clips.
* Get Clip level Markers out of a Sequence and lift them to Sequence level markers
* Print a list of Markers from the sequence, with time stamp (Timecode)
* Extract the text from Markers to use to build menus in Adobe Photoshop
* List all Clips with Scene, Shot, log note, comment etc in a simpler list than a batch export without needing the original Sequence

CS3 and windows 7.

I have cs3 and windows 7 64 bit. I was able to run cs3 in xp, but everytime I try 7 it hangs up right before it asks for my serial number. The installation is perfect, everything goes great, but when I open cs3 it opens up a blank cs3 window, and the curser timer starts and that is all. when I click anywhere it says "not responding".
I have heard of this before in this forum... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/377888
The guy was running vista and got it to work through this.... http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3750
But I am running windows 7 and vista doesnt work on here, is there a license thing for windows 7?
I have been looking for weeks!!!!
I reformated my pc twice!
Someone PLEASE help.
Thank you.

Little confused here. How can CS3 install perfect when the serial number is not installed?
When you install PS CS3 on Windows 7 you have to install the software itself as Admin. Put the disk in but don't install. Choose explore the disk or open and then look for the PS CS3 folder. Open the folder and locate the .exe file. Right click on the .exe file and select run as Admin.
Before you do the install ensure windows defender is turned off. Ensure any anti-virus is not running. If adobe reader is installed remove it. ensure no other adobe product is running in the background.
I do not have CS3 installe but when CS4 is installed on windows 7 it will hang around 90 percent complete and will take 10 to 15 mins to finish. Might not be true for CS3 though....
After install, reboot computer.
After reboot, go to start, all programs and right click on PS CS3. Choose properties, compatibility, and check run as Admin. Hit apply then ok to close.
Click on PS CS3 to see if it will start. If it runs update to 10.0.1
Now if you have any problems running CS3 after all this right click on PS CS3, properties, compatibility, and check run this program in compatibility mode for: Choose Vista SP2. If you have display problems then go back to this tab and check disable visual themes and also check Disable desktop composition.
Hudechrome, a regular poster on here, has installed CS3 on Windows 7 before so maybe he might chime in with his words of wisdom (or something like that). I am not sure if he did what i wrote to install CS3 on windows 7. I error on a caution side of things.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 8 Issues

I have Dreamwever CS3 and Windows 8 and I keep getting errors that can only be resolved by closing down DW and losing the work I have processed so far. I happens mostly when I use extentions such as Webassaist Data Bridge. I have visited their forum but they advised me to checkout you trouble shooting service.
Please advise
tonytanner257

Hi,
If Dreamweaver is working fine without the extensions, I am not sure if we should be troubleshooting Dreamweaver. Just to be sure, Windows 8 is not a supported version for Dreamweaver CS3. It could possibly work, but wouldn't have been tested on Windows 8 as Adobe supports only the previous two versions of any software.
This is my best answer. You could wait for other experts for their opinion.
Thanks,

Mouse pointer Problem with CS3 and windows 7

Upgraded
to a new PC which has Windows 7(32bit) as an operating system. Installed my Photoshop CS3 and everything seems ok except when I magnify in the navagator panel. Once I zoom in my mouse pointer changes to 3 hands in the navigator panel. I powered up my old laptop which has Vista and my CS3
then matched up the mouse settings in the control panel on the new PC. Used the same usb mouse on both PC's, the older Vista laptop worked fine but the windows 7 PC would get a tripple pointer in the navigation panel when I magnified. In the windows 7 laptop I then set the compatibility for Photoshop CS3 to run in XP mode but the problem did not clear. I see in FAQ for CS4 people have complained about tripple cursers in windows 7 but the replies indicated that the recommended fix did not work. Any help apreciated.
Tom

Thanks for your solution. I by changing the setting to 125% I am now able to use CS3 without tripple pointers.
My eyesight is challenged so the decrease in text is a challenge but I can change the setting when I will use CS3 so I have a workarount.
Thanks,
Tom

Thumbs Up To Upgrading To CS3 and Windows Vista

Hi Folks,
After several years of using Dreamweaver 8 on my antiquated,
10-year old, 700MZ DELL (upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP),
I finally bought a new HP with Windows Vista. Then I upgraded from
DW8 to CS3 ($199) and couldn't be happier. I used to have the old
XP "login" issue (remembering the login) and was never able to
resolve it, despite using the recommened fix I found here, so it
was something I just lived with.
But that's all behind me now. This new DW works great with
Vista and so far, I have no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to
learning more about CS3 and all it's features.
I'm a total novice... (you can tell by viewing my website:
LBIBeachRentals.com ... LOL), but if I can do it, anyone can. Many
thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
particularly Peggy and Murray from OC.

the old program being obsolete? I appreciate your answer!
I did much the same recently - (upgrade) from MX to CS3. I
was using a boxed set but all I needed were the qualifying serial
numbers of two MX programs for an upgrade. The applications were
self standing and I never had to install the old ones.
I would suggest turning the Vista Aero interface off -
particularly if you also have Fireworks - after that it is great.

Indesign cs3 and windows 8.1

I'm having trouble installing indesign cs3 with Windows 8.1. The program says I need to upgrade screen resolution. My lowest screen resolution is the minimum required. I have the highest. Any options or ideas for getting past this?

I was able to get it running with Windows 8 (64-bit), but it did take a few tries, and I have not played with all the software yet. I have used Photoshop and Illustrator successfully, and I've opened InDesign. I remember having to copy a file off of the installation disk to my desktop and renaming it to "AdobePDF.dll" -- I think it had 64 in the original file name. During the install, it said it could not find that file, and that trick worked. (I only remember because that file is still on my desktop.)
My question is: Has anyone who has CS3 running on Windows 8 upgraded to windows 8.1?
My computer keeps asking me, but I don't want to break CS3. I don't use it a whole lot, but when I need it, I want it to work.
Thank you for any replies!

Encore CS3 and Premiere and AE video messed up

I begin to create a DVD in Encore CS3, it was working fine for a couple days and then suddenly the video preview and build became all messed up - sporadic blocky frames in the video. I tried creating a new project from scratch and even Encore's library files preview this way now. I rebooted and no help. I reinstalled Encore and no help. I checked Premiere and AE and now they have the same problem. Playing video outside of Adobe CS3 works just fine.
Do I have to uninstall and reinstall the whole collection, or is there some simpler way to get rid of this problem? I have a screen shot of what the problem looks like.

Problem with Encore CS4 (and Windows 7, possibly)

Greetings:
Anybody else having this problem? First I'll get my system blood work out of the way. It's a brand new HP Pavillion.
Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
8GB RAM
Over 700GB of FREE harddrive
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz
Video Chip Set: Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset
I have ensured that everything is updated. This includes:
All CS4 Applications
Windows 7
My Graphics Card Driver
My Display Driver
I have also updated the Roxio PX Engine to V4.18.16a. I had read on a forum that Encore uses this driver and it should be up to date.
OK, the problem, which I can reproduce with the simplest Encore project:
1.     Start Encore
2.     Create a new project - specify DVD - everything else id default.
3.     Create a timeline
4.     Import asset. It is a simple Standard Video AVI file, 720x480.
5.     Select timeline for editing
Here's what happens:
A) Monitor window behaves normally. I can click play and watch the imported video. Sound is fine, everything is fine. I can start and stop the play back freely. All is well.
B) Now, I can do a number of things to create the problem I am having. The simplest is to just go to the timeline editor, select the AVI asset that has just been there, running fine, and remove it from the time line. At this point, the monitor window's internal frame that used to represent the video view port area, disappears. By "disappears", I mean that the Monitor window goes to the background color which is used for empty, unused window regions. What had been there before was a jet-black frame representing the video view area
Now, if I go to the project window and re-select the AVI asset that I was just viewing and put it BACK into the timeline, the Monitor does not restore. If I play the timeline, the monitor is still blank, although I can hear sound.
In addition to this, I also find that Encore has slowed so that response to the simplest operation is extremely slow. It doesn't crash, although, it might if I hang around long enough - but I don't. If I shut down Encore and restart it, it will work OK until I start manipulating video assets again and then the same thing will happen.
I should mention that, yes, I have this new computer but I was using Encore on an older and much slower XP system with less memory and drive space and I had no trouble with encore. I should also point out that the AVI assets that I use to produce this problem are the same ones I had used successfully on the older system.
Is there anyone out there that would find this problem familiar? Anyone find a solution?
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.

Hi John:
Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Reinstall issues CS3 and Windows 8.1

I am trying to reinstall my CS3 Extended on Windows 8.1. My CD says the installer is corrupt. I downloaded the installer from the website and it says that the installer database is corrupt. Is here a fix?

I believe the reason is because pse 9 and pre 10 are already installed.
Some others with the same problem have mentioned that after unistalling both pse 9 and pre 10 and then cleaning out all the adobe files, then cs3 installs.
Then you can reinstall pse 9 and pre 10.
Before doing any of the above, make sure can get both pse 9 and pre 10 plus the serials from the manufacturer of your computer.

After Effects CS3 and Windows 7 (32 or 64bit)

Hi just a quick question. As I'm not a real tech expert. I was going to upgrade to Windows 7. In the 32 bit version is the amount of RAM use limited to only 4 gigabytes? And in the 64 bit version is After Effects CS3 free to use as much you put in your computer? I have a quad core cpu and wanted to take advantage of the multicore rendering.
That's important piece of info I need before upgrading.
Thanks very much,
James

After effect is a 32bit application, so it won't be able to get more than 4GB of ram per process. If Windows 7 32 is like Windows Vista 32, AE won't be able to use more than 2Gb per process and more that 2,7gb as a whole because of Windows limitations.
As AE CS3 & CS4 are 32bit application, even in 64bit environnement, they won't be able to use more than 4gb of ram in a single process, but if you enable multiprocessing, each new instances of AE will be able to access to 4gb of ram also, with a max of 16b of ram.
If you have a quad core, and want to use all your processor cores, you will need at least 8gb of ram, because AE needs at least 2gb per core.
So my advice is, drop Win 7 32bit for a Win 7 x64 AE will love you more, and use more of your power.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 7

We were just upgraded to Windows 7 from XP at work and althought my CS3 suite is not showing any signs of problems, Dreamweaver has this bug where when I am browins for a site folder using the Edia Sites dialog box, the settings don't save any folders deeper than one level, so for example, if I am locating the testing server location for a site, and that location is X:\devsites\sites\site4 and during the session I dorows to that location and open that site4 folder and click ok to select it, DW CS3 only takes the devcites folder top level as the desired folder. I have to manually type the path in the testing server folder field in order for DW CS3 to accept the location. Is there any support currently provided for bugs of CS3 since CS4 is already out?

See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/478327.

CS3 and Windows 8.1 compatibility

As above: After an system update my CS3 doen't run anymore. I suspect this update is a purpose of it. As for now, I cannot run,. re-install or even uninstall CS3 from control panel.
If I try to run CS3 setup file, it takes a long while for preparing installation and then nothing. When I re-run setup it says I must finish the previous installation process.
Any help, i.e. possible patches, appreciated.
Kind regards
Piotr Dylewicz

The general opinion is that it is not compatible. Not sure if there is an official Adobe report on this.
Here are a couple sites you can go to to read about it
Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop CS3 version 10

CS3 and Windows 2000

I'm going to presume that CS3 does not support Windows 2000, as searches of the knowledgebase, Forum and FAQ yielded no info, and the CS3 System Requirements does not mention Windows 2000 at all.
Can someone please confirm this for me? Thanks in advance.

You can do that in XP (only Professional, not Home Edition) - just disable Simple file sharing in Folder options. Vista doesn't need that option - it provides the ability by default (though you have to click an awful lot of buttons)

Recurring problem with encore CS3 for windows - pgc error

Hi,
I've been looking through the solutions to pcg errors and not finding what i need.
A couple of years ago I was getting these messages and looked them up here, found a workaround that I've been using since then. All of the sudden the problem is back and none of the workarounds work.
My workflow is as follows:
Create a timeline in Premiere and export as m2v (for dvd) import into encore add menu and burn. This has worked many many times. When it first started happening i employed the workaround of moving the m2v and wav files to a different folder (without the other files). Like I said this has worked for a couple of years. Now I keep getting error message referencing the last few frames of the timeline.
When I bring the m2v file into encore there is an extra approx. 9 minutes of black at the end of the timeline (there should only be 30 seconds of black). When I look at the file in a media player the extra black isn't there.
Does anybody know what to do here? Currently I am reexporting all timelines from premiere as .avi files and will try transcoding them in Encore (this worked the other day), but I have 6 hours worth of footage to retranscode now - so much wasted time.
Please help.
Thanks,
Michelle
