Encore CS3 First Play and End Action problems

I have one menu, one timeline. I'm trying to have the DVD start with the menu for about 2 minutes, the length of the audio asset linked to, then start the first chapter of the timeline. No overrides used in the project.
First Play of the disc: set to the default menu.
End action of the menu: set to first chapter of timeline.
Menu-motion: Audio linked to an audio asset, duration about 2 minutes.
In Encore DVD 2.0 this was trivial and worked. Not in CS3!
Most of the time it loops the menu indefinitely. Sometimes it will loop twice, then start the chapter.
Preview from the menu works. Preview from the disc doesn't, nor the final DVD burn. I've seen this was discussed here before, I just can't find the topic.
Any fixes?
Thanks

Johnathan,
Tell us more about your Assets on this Play First Timeline. What are the files, format, Duration, etc.? Is this file muxed, or elemental streams? The greater the detail, the better.
I have not seen the behavior that you observe, hence my questions.

  • Encore CS3: First Play timeline freezes after burn only

    Ok, so in Encore CS3 I have this timeline,it is set as first play and at the end it goes to a menu.
    The video plays fine until near the end where it freezes on a frame for a few seconds and then continues fine. There are no other problems on the dvd. It occurs both on a physical disc and a disk image so it's not a player problem but it does not appear in Encore's previews.
    I have tried re encoding the source file, deleting the timeline, re importing the footage.
    Any suggestions?

  • First Play and End Jump go blank in Property Inspector

    I am using dvdsp2. In my Property Inspector window, when I go to the First Play drop down menu it is blank. There are no items to select in the drop down menu when I select the disc in the Outline tab.
    The same goes for End Jump in the Property Inspector when I click Track 1
    I tried a reinstall but it did not change anything.
    Any help please?
    So, what I'm noticing is that in the Property Inspector when I click First Play, where it says Menu 1 in the drop down menu it clears when clicked. This does the same in the Remote Control section. Drop Down menus Title, Menu, and Return all clear(go blank) when I click them.
    The same goes for Track 1 in the Property Inspector. In the Remote Control section
    Angle, Chapter, Audio, Subtitle drop down menus all go clear when clicked. Only the Menu drop down stays but does not drop down. It shows: Same as Disc.
    Maybe there's a link.
    Thanks

  • Encore CS6 First Play problem

    Long-time Adobe user with CS6 Master Collection. Not come across this one before, though.
    Simple Encore project using 3 PPro sequences via Dynamic Link.
    Set up so a 20 sec video plays automatically then drops into a static menu offering choice of two timelines.
    All tests OK, previews in Encore OK, and builds OK.
    HOWEVER, the resulting DVD skips the intro video and starts with the menu, despite the intro video being set as First Play and testing OK inside Encore.
    I've built the project from scratch twice now with the same result.
    Any hints as to cause and cure?

    OK. I eventually tracked it down.
    Before adding the intro element, I started with the menu. When I added the intro movie, all looked good on the flowchart and it played OK in Encore, but, as I explained initially, when burned to DVD playback started with the old menu, not the new first play.
    I tried deleting Encores preferences (start with SHIFT+CONTROL) to no effect.
    I tried adding STOP at the end of menus, to no effect.
    I also tried a variety of other first play items, but the DVD always started with the non-first-play menu.
    Eventually I looked at the project properties and found that the title button and main timeline were still pointing at the original first-play menu item, not the one currently selected. Changing the main timeline had no effect, but changing the Title Button to the new first-play timeline finally solved my problem.
    It seems possible that there is an issue with updating all relevant items in Encore CS6 (Windows, fully updated) when changing first play. Or am I missing something that makes it my fault here?

  • Black pause between timeline and end action

    I am using Encore DVD 2.0 and After effects 5.5
    I made my menu in Photoshop and animated it in After Effects. I brought them both into Encore DVD, set the animation as first play and the end action as the static menu. When I preview it, there is a few seconds of black between the 2. I want the transition to look seamless. Is there a setting to get rid of the black? or is there any other way to do this without having to go out and buy a better version of after effects?

    I want to solve the same issue!! Did you solved yet???
    Where are you observing the black "pause," in Encore's Preview, or on a burned test DVD RW on a set-top player?
    That can make all of the difference.
    Good luck,

  • To get first date and end date after entering any month and year

    Hi,
    I need to to get first date and end date of a month and year in yyyyMMdd format. I am reading month and year from a properties file. But I don't know how to get the first date and End date in given format. The properties file gives me just text. But I don't know how to get the date format using this. I need this urgently. Can anyone help me to get code for this?
    I am reading the fields as,
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.load(new FileInputStream("AnyMonthVolume.properties"));
    String date_month = props.getProperty("date_month");
    String date_year = props.getProperty("date_year");
    Thanks.

    I know this has been posted a while ago but incase someone looking for it, here is the code to get the end of current month date.
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
         cal.setTime(new java.util.Date());
         cal.set(Calendar.DATE, 1); //set the date to start of month
         cal.add(Calendar.MONTH,1);
         cal.add(Calendar.DATE,-1);
    System.out.println(cal.getTime());

  • How to calculate first date and end date of this year in Query

    Hi Expert
    I want to calculate following dates with inputted date in query.
    I have no knowledge on ABAP and I just can create a query with simple logic.
    Could you teach me how to calculate following date?
    (If inputted date is April 12 2009)
    - First date of this year (Ex January 1 2009)
    - End date  of this year (Ex December 31 2009)
    - First date of last year (Ex January 1 2008)
    - End date of last year  (Ex December 31 2008)
    - First date of this month (Ex April 1 2009)
    Thank you!
    Take

    HR_JP_MONTH_BEGIN_END_DATE   use this FM to get the begin and end date of the Date you are passing. eg when u give input as 04/12/2009, it will return
    04/01/2009 as begin date
    04/30/2009 as end date
    pass the Year in this FM HR_E_GET_FISC_YEAR_DATES, you will get the Fiscal year Begin and End Dates

  • First Play and not want menu button be functionally

    I create warning video as first play. I don't want that menu, title buttons are working. I want to prevent people hit menu button while warning video. I could not figure out how to do that.

    Did you ever find an answer to why you can't sent your first menu to play? This is driving me mad too.
    I think I found it. In the advanced tab of the menu inspector I unchecked the "display condition" box at the bottom. I am not exactly sure what it means as I have only had a couple of hours of playing with this app. I think it was looking for an alternative target which wasn't set.

  • Scripting play all end jump problems.

    hi all
    in my project i have a script that plays all of my tracks following the 'scripting a dynamic play all button in dvd studio 3' help sheet i found on this discussion forum. for it to work i need to set the end jump of the tracks to a 'play next script.'
    However, when i want to play one individual track from the menu it finishes on a black screen and remains there as i cant set the end jump to return to the main menu as it is in use with the play next script.
    can anyone help im at my wits end
    many thanks in advanced.

    Ed:
    Wellcome to the forums!
    You can get the PLAY ALL / PLAY EACH chapter feature using just Stories with no scripting at all. Check this Stories Tutorial.
    I found that way easier than scripting.

  • Encore  CS3- Domain User  DVD Device Permissions Problems

    Encore is unable to see DVD Device and the Adobe utility only corrects for Local computer accounts and not domain accounts. The network administrator must setup an additional account (Local)to the computer that all Premier/Encore user must now log off there domain account and then login to local account so that they are able to burn there project to DVD. I was told by adobe support that they cant help because it works via a local account and that the issue is a domain issue and not an issue with there software. Is there a reg. hack that one could use to correct the problem with Premier/Encore to use windows xp security to allow the application the same permissions that windows give the Domain local user.I was also told by Adobe support that maybe if I had gold support they would maybe have a tech group who could handle network related issues with there software but he was not sure.This would be great to get resolved after buying a site license of the Master collection for a school
    Thank You
    Allan Shaw

    Every message concerning networks is that Encore (and Premiere) are not designed to run on a network... so they mostly do not
    I've also read that a non-Administrator user account is usually not going to work well... if at all
    The simple fact is (from what I've read in these forums) that Encore and Premiere are written for ONE user on ONE computer... and anything else may work by accident, but not by design

  • Help with this IF, Else, Else If and End If problem? ASP/VB

    Hoping someone can help me with this. I have three database
    tables,
    orderdetails, paidorders, ordercomplete and the following
    recordset:
    <%
    Dim rsOrderSearch
    Dim rsOrderSearch_cmd
    Dim rsOrderSearch_numRows
    Set rsOrderSearch_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_connNAME_STRING
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT orderID, (SELECT
    COUNT(*) FROM
    dbo.tblpaidorders WHERE dbo.qryorderdetails.orderID =
    dbo.tblpaidorders.orderID) AS PAIDORDER, (SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM
    dbo.tblordercomplete WHERE dbo.qryorderdetails.orderID =
    dbo.tblordercomplete.orderID) AS COMPLETEORDER,
    itemdescription FROM
    dbo.qryorderdetails WHERE orderID = ? OR customerID = ? OR
    itemdescription
    LIKE ? ORDER BY orderdate DESC"
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.Prepared = true
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.Parameters.Append
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 5, 1, -1,
    rsOrderSearch__MMColParam) ' adDouble
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.Parameters.Append
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.CreateParameter("param2", 5, 1, -1,
    rsOrderSearch__MMColParam1) ' adDouble
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.Parameters.Append
    rsOrderSearch_cmd.CreateParameter("param3", 200, 1, 255, "%"
    +
    rsOrderSearch__MMColParam2 + "%") ' adVarChar
    Set rsOrderSearch = rsOrderSearch_cmd.Execute
    rsOrderSearch_numRows = 0
    %>
    If the orderID appears in the ordercomplete table (thus
    COMPLETEORDER would
    have a COUNT value of 1), I want to display "Completed".
    If the orderID appears in the paidorders table (thus
    PAIDORDER would have a
    COUNT value of 1), I want to display "Awaiting
    Pickup/Delivery".
    For everything else, I want to display "Open Job".
    For some reason, the following doesn't display the "Awaiting
    Pickup/Delivery" option, but seems to be displaying
    "Completed" correctly.
    I've tried various combinations, but it looks correct to me!
    Is it?:
    <%IF (rsOrderSearch.Fields.Item("COMPLETEORDER").Value)
    > 0 Then%>
    <span class="greentext">Completed</span>
    <%Else%>
    <%IF (rsOrderSearch.Fields.Item("PAIDORDER").Value) > 0
    Then%>

    Pickup/Delivery</span>
    <%Else%>
    <span class="redtext">Open Job</span>
    <%End If%>
    <%End If%>
    Also, the above code is in a table cell within a repeat
    region. If I move
    this to a different table cell within the same repeat region,
    it doesn't
    display at all! This seems more like a bug to be honest, but
    considering
    the above code doesn't work, I'm wondering if that is the
    reason?
    If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Relating this to my other more recent post about the crash
    when udpating
    site cache, do you think that this:
    <%IF (rsOrderSearch.Fields.Item("COMPLETEORDER").Value)
    > 0 Then%>
    <span class="greentext">Completed</span>
    <%Else%>
    <%IF (rsOrderSearch.Fields.Item("PAIDORDER").Value) > 0
    Then%>
    <span class="orangetext">Awaiting
    Pickup/Delivery</span>
    <%Else%>
    <span class="redtext">Open Job</span>
    <%End If%>
    <%End If%>
    ...would be sufficient to corrupt my site, or site cache (or
    whatever it
    is!)? I had suspected my own personalisation of DW's
    MM_Username to
    MM_Username1 was causing the problem but, having just spent
    an hour editing
    every file within the sub-directory that is causing the
    problems, in Notepad
    (because DW crashes when I open them), and renaming my
    MM_Username1 back to
    MM_Username, I notice that DW is still crashing. So I have
    ruled out the
    MM_Username because this had been working fine anyway, up to
    yesterday.
    So...the only other thing I've done on the site is to add
    this:
    <%IF (rsOrderSearch.Fields.Item("COMPLETEORDER").Value)
    > 0 Then%>
    <span class="greentext">Completed</span>
    <%Else%>
    <%IF (rsOrderSearch.Fields.Item("PAIDORDER").Value) > 0
    Then%>
    <span class="orangetext">Awaiting
    Pickup/Delivery</span>
    <%Else%>
    <span class="redtext">Open Job</span>
    <%End If%>
    <%End If%>
    Would this crash my site cache? I'm really at a loss as to
    what has
    happened.
    Can you have two COUNT(*) .... AS suchandsuch in one SELECT
    statement? I
    wondered if that was maybe it.
    Would appreciate your help because, as it stands, I can't
    open this
    sub-directory in DW.
    Thanks
    Nath.

  • This is my first iPad and am having problems setting up apple ID message tells me ID is not verified - help, feel such a wimp!

    This is my first I-product and I am having problems getting going. Can't buy apps as ID is not verified - I have tried but no luck, help!

    When you sign up with an e mail address, apple will send an e mail to that address to verify it is really your, and that you are the one setting up whatever you are doing.  The same process happens if you change your e mail, or add an additional e mial.
    So watch you in box in that e mail account for an e mail from apple.  You need to respond to it to confirm the set up.
    If your provider has a spam filter, check in there.  Some aggresive spam filters block the apple e mail.
    Lastly, some report that they never get the email, cannot respond, therefore cannot set up whatever they are trying to set up.  If that happens, try an alternate e mail address if you have one.

  • Encore First Play Error

    Hi all-  I have been searching on this site about a First Play issue I am
    having.  I have 2 timelines (INTRO 1 and MAIN) and several menus in my project.  I have INTRO 1 set to "first play" and linked the end action to the first menu, which then goes to the main timeline, or more menus.....  the whole works plays perfect when I preview.  The first play, menu, everything.....it works great.....
    However, when I build the project, I get an error that states "internal software error at 29:21 in INTRO 1"  .  INTRO 1 timeline consists of a 29:21 second MPEG2-DVD file that I rendered out of After Effects.  I have tried deleting this timeline and replacing it (and re-linking it) as well deleting the MPEG asset from the project and re-inserting it.  Still same error.  Maybe I need to install the latest patch for Encore?  Or am I missing something?  I haven't tried to override anything.....maybe i should insert the sequence directly into the timeline rather than the rendered MPEG file???
    If I can't get this to work, I plan on making 2 Main Menus.  One will be set to first play and have the INTRO sequence and the rest of the Main menu on the front end, and then I'll just set a loop point where I want the menu to repeat.  after going into the rest of the menus, I'll link all their back buttons to the second "main" menu (the one without intro on the front).  that way, after the first time the DVD is loaded, and the user starts to navigate the menus, the user won't have to sit through the INTRO again if they want to go back to the main menu.  It makes sense in my head, but does anyone see any problems?
    I hope i have been clear on all this!!!
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Thanks Guys--
    Yes, there is something about PCG error.....butafter some research and tests,  it seems to be a format uncompatability thing.....(I'm running CS4 by the way)
    I did play around with it a bunch last night.  It seems that the problem lies with the .m2v file that is rendered out of After Effects.  It's not playing nice with Encore.  I tried removing all the sound out of the menus....then the difference in length should not matter.  I still got the same error.  So i deleted the assets alltogether...then i tried rendering my files out as MPEG 2's instead of MPEG2 DVD's.   This time I got an error that there was an aspect ratio mismatch.    So then i removed both video and sound from the menus---- And the project worked great!!!  Ok, so now I went back and tried to render the movie parts as AVI files.  I rendered one of the menus as an AVI and brought it in as an asset- linked it to the video, and linked the sound to the old sound .wav file, and wouldn't you know ---the project worked---(well, that menu worked perfect, the others were still blank of course, but the buttons were still there)....  .  So I made all the menu parts into .avi, and linked them, but when i checked the project, it gave me an error that the disk is not big enough.....Of course my .avi's were all uncompressed (about 5 gigs).....Do i need to figure out how to render a smaller .avi?  I haven't been able to get AE to do that yet.  Uncompressed seems to be my only option.  Isn't there a way to pick what size file to make??  I'll have to look into that as I have not been able to figure out how to change the quality of .avi's.....
    Maybe there is another file format that would work better?  high quality .wmv???

    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.

  • First Play to Menu

    I have i have an easy problem to fix... I inserted an asset to First Play when the dvd is put in, but after it plays it doesn't automatically go to the menu. Is there a way to make this happen?
    Thanks!

    Nope. I tried that, even tried putting a chapter marker in the middle of the intro movie and sending it to another track, not a menu. It still just played the whole intro movie and then went to black. In the end, I went back to my master project (I was building a few different versions of a movie, one with an index menu and a choice to view next or return to main after each chapter, one that just plays straight through), did a save-as, and just redid the indexed project version exactly the same as I had already done.
    For reasons I can't fathom, when I did the +exact same thing+ with this new version, it worked just fine...go figure. I had burned a test copy with the intro movie in a menu, not just a track, with some extra buttons and decided I didn't like it, so made modifications. I wonder if having the build folder already set up somehow interfered with having the new version of the first copy play properly after I had deleted the original first play and main menu and replaced it with a new first play and different menu that it would return to between chapters...
