ENCORE CS3 Grafik für Highlighted Button verwenden

Hallo,
ich verwende die CS3 Suite und somit auch ENCORE.
Ich möchte als Highlighted bei der Auswahl eine Grafik verwenden.
Ich habe das auch alles geschafft, in Verbindung mit Photoshop, jedoch wird die Grafik nicht angezeigt sondern nur einfärbig und die Umrisse.
Kann mir jemand sagen ob das in ENCORE CS3 möglich ist und wenn JA wie es funktioniert.
DANKE

The beauty to using Stanley's suggestion of starting with one of the Templates, is that the Button Layer Sets and the necessary naming conventions will be there for you, already. Saves a lot of mistakes and extra work.
Make special note of the Button Layer and Layer Sets' naming. Those initial characters are VERY important, as the take a regular, Layered PSD and turn it into a functioning Menu in Encore.
I will Rename those Layers & Layer Sets, AFTER the space (leaving those necessary characters in place), to match up with my Timelines, or other Assets. Then, rather than trying to remember that "Button 1" one Scene Selection Menu 3 links to "Liz's Birthday," I will see the name, "Liz's Birthday."
I also name my Timelines, usually from" 01 Intro," to "0x Whatever," so I can easily see the order, and then use those names (after the space). I find that a little extra work initially, saves me a lot of extra work and confusion, later on.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I also highly recommend Jeff Bellune's book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. Though written for EncoreDVD 2.0, 100% of the book translates directly to CS3 & CS4.

Highlighting button picture doesn't work CS3

Hello all,
i made my buttons in Photoshop CS3, imported them into Encore CS3.
When the button is active i want use as highlighted a image.
The menu works, also the highlighted function but it doesn't show the
image like in photoshop, it only shows a single-painted image (most grey).
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Herbert Posch,
Unfortunately, because of the DVD-spec., a Highlight is only a 2-bit color image from one of the Menu Highlight Color swatches. Now, you can create variations of multiple colors, but nothing approximating a continuous tone image.
You can "fool" the user, by creating a duplicate menu with the images in place of the normal Highlight. You'd have your Highlight on the original Menu transparent and the Button to Auto-Activate. You'll need a duplicate Menu for each Button though.
It takes a bit of work and it will help to have a navigational flowchart drawn out ahead of time, but the effect can look quite convincing. If you go this route, do a test burn to DVD RW, as you will likely get a black flash in Preview, that should not be on the burned DVD.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

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.

Internal Software error PGC for encore CS3 !!! solved !!!

Almost everybody here knows the next error:
PGC "timeline name" has an error at xx:xx:xx:xy internal software error : %0, line timeline name - PGCINFO: name= timeline name, ref=BPGC, time=xx:xx:xx:xy
Where the y in time stands for the length of the timeline minus 2 frames. The BPGC error can also be FPGC or DPGC dependant on how many menu's there are in the project.
It kept me awake for weeks and after reading this forum several times and comparing encore CS3 with encore 2.0 filenames I found the solution.
This Error is a bug in encore witch has nothing to do with blank filename spots and sonic coding or codecs or planning your workflow with a pencil but pure with the combination Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3.
This is what generates the problem:
In Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 you build project with video, sound and chapters. Then you export the project via the Media Encoder not Multplexed.
Premiere CS3 then creates the following files:
filename.M2V (video file mpg)
filename.AC3 (audio file ac3)
filename.M2V.XMPSES (an adobe file with preview info and chapter pointers)
filname.XMP (??)
It is the .M2V.XMPSES file witch creates the PGC error. If you use the MULTIPLEX DVD option then ADOBE will not create the .M2V.XMPSES file so there will not be an error. This trick mentioned by ADOBE and many others is just to go around the bug instead of solving it. Also with multiplex you have just one sound track. I use two sound tracks like 5.1 and a 2.0 track witch you can choose in a menu.
Some people say it is the blank spots. Also not true. They have probably just erased the blank spots of the M2V file and forgot the .M2V.XMPSES file.
When you just delete the .M2V.XMPSES file and then open the M2V and AC3 file in Encore as a new asset, make a timeline and menu's and the project will built and burn. Only if you delete this .M2V.XMPSES file Encore takes a longer time to import the M2V file and will be without the chapter points.
Almost everything else will work like menu with sound and even a movie background (use M2V files). Only the motion buttons in a menu still wont work unless you use a black background !?!. Haven't figured this out yet. Only solution for this is use Encore 2.0. In this older version also the motion buttons will work without error's (everything else also so why buy CS3??)
Here is what you must do create a DVD without errors:
-Create a project in Premiere Pro, even with chapters.
-Write down all chapter points (minutes:seconds:frames)
-Create two new unique maps in explorer for example D:DVD1 and D:DVD2
-Export in Premiere with Media Encoder without the Multiplex:DVD but with NON to the D:DVD1 map
-Copy from D:DVD1 only the M2V and AC3 files to D:DVD2
-Start up Encore DVD CS3 or 2.0
-Create a new unique project in Encore for example "DVD" and save this in the map D:DVD2\
-Then use Save-as (under file) and pinpoint to D:DVD2\dvd to be sure that all Encore's files are placed in this folder.
-Select M2V file and make new timeline.
-Make chapter points (you wrote down the points, did you?)
-Create menu's, even with sound (AC3) and movie background (M2V)
-Then render project if you have used a video for menu background
-Finally Built and burnnnnnn!!
-If you like to use motion buttons in a menu then use Encore 2.0
I have double checked my work flow and it really works. I have built a project and burned with success Then I deleted the timeline and the M2V file. Copied the .M2V.XMPSES file in the used folder. Re loaded the M2V file in encore (this time much faster! and with chapter points). Tried to built and burn and back was the error. Also this happened in in Encore 2.0!!
Hope that this will solve the PGC error once and for all !!!

> Where the y in time stands for the length of the timeline minus 2 frames.
This can actually vary, and so far at least, I don't think we've seen a pattern as to type of pgc error based on how many frames from the end it reports.
> The BPGC error can also be FPGC or DPGC dependant on how many menu's there are in the project.
Number of menus is not relevant; the iteration of the first letter is more related to subsequent occurrences of the error. In my current tests it did not always update; they may have been too similar.
> This is what generates the problem...
Well, the problem does not occur every time you do what you describe, any more than it occurs every time spaces are left in the file names. What you have is, as some other suggestions, a workaround. Thats not bad, and I wonder if you are onto something as to what is contributing to the problem.
So, on to the interesting part whether the xmpses file, or at least what Encore is doing with it, is contributing something. I took an old test project that throws the PGC error and did some experiments.
Background. I am a user who does get the pgc errors regularly, but not always. Creative Suite Production Premium, with PPro CS3 3.2.0 (374) and Encore 3.0.1.008. Pentium 4 2.8GHz 2G RAM, XP SP3, Multiple drives, Nvidia GEforce4 MX440 i.e. an older system. I have lots of stuff loaded and running, including virus protection and firewall, so there are any number of potential conflicts. But I get no crashes, and only one problem other than the pgc. (PPro and Encore monitor windows do this diagonal thing I suspect the display card, but the drivers are up to date. Maxing and then back to fit fixes it.)
If you want to attempt to replicate my studies, here is a link to my problem clip and the first Encore project I describe.
http://www.videoandcomputer.com/test/pgc_test.htm
This project involves a very short AVI export from PPro CS3 - just over 8 seconds - called pgcbad_clip1.avi. Just to answer any question, the source is dv camera capture, and the source and avi export I use are dv avi type 2. There were no effects added on the timeline.
Test 1: Create a project in Encore CS3. Use the sunset menu and delete all the buttons except "play all." Import the avi as a timeline. Set the timeline end action as "return to last menu" and set the button link to the timeline. Auto transcode. (Project settings are 8mbps max and a3c.) Check project shows okay; there is never a problem with that. Build to a DVD folder in a new folder. This project throws the pgc error.
Test 2: Now create a new Encore project in a new folder. Use the same process, except import as timeline the m2v and a3c files from the first run. (I.e. if the clip is pgcbad_clip1.avi, in the test1 project folders, there is a folder called pgcbad_clip1.avi that has 6 files.) Note that in the folder they are imported from is an xmpses file from the first project's encore transcode. The build again fails with the pgc error - same frame, etc, but I really think the frame number doesn't matter.
Test 3: Now create another new Encore project in a new folder. Use same process, but before importing the m2v and a3c as timeline, delete the xmpses file. Drumroll...... Build succeeds!
Go figure.
This is not the repeatable bug option weve been looking for, but based on a clip that always fails, it does demonstrate the odd event of deleting the xmpses file as a workaround. I wonder if that will give adobe something to work with.
Can anyone else get my clip to work/not work in a straight project?
Test 4: Just to answer the question since the avi file fails here, will the elemental option succeed? I exported elemental m2v and wav from PPro, used the same project process, and transcoded the wav. That build also works! I have seen this work both ways. I have had projects where the elemental failed, and an avi export worked. I do believe the elemental options work more consistently. But my project that I completed yesterday used all avi exports, animated buttons in the submenu, - no pgc error.

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.

Encore CS3 subtitles won't default to "off"

I'm using Encore CS3, and have a couple of subtitle tracks, but want the default to be "subtitle off" and despite my setting the disk build properties to "Subtitle: Off", the disk, when created (and even in the Encore preview windows), the subtitle always defaults to playing the first subtitle track. I don't want the viewers to have to turn off the subtitles every time they view the DVD. The "Play" button for the program on the main menu is set to "Subtitle: No Change". So, unless I go and turn the subtitles on, the DVD should theoretically play with subtitles OFF, right?
Now, I can force the "Play" link to play the track with subtitles off, but then that prevents the viewers from turning the subtitles on via the subtitles menu (which throws back to the "Play" link, which would then turn the subtitles back OFF when it's hit.)
I suppose I could create a separate identical copy of the main menu, the "First Play" one with the subtitles forced "off," and then one that the subtitle selection menu can throw back to, that is set at "No Change", but that all seems kind of unnecessarily circuitous.
So far the only other "workaround" I can think of is to make the first subtitle track a blank track, and then put the "real" subtitles on tracks 2 & 3. But that seems like kind of a cheap workaround.
Anyone have any insights? Thanks!

Hello.
You don't actually mention if this problem occurs in preview or in a real player.
If in preview - what happens on a real disc?
if on a real player, is the player perhaps set to have a default subtitle language? I ran across this on a recent project & had to force subtitles to default off on the disc, as the player insisted on displaying subtitles because it's firmware had set it's language as "English".

How to download Encore CS3 Content/Library

Hello,
I have losed the Encore CS3 media, and I have succesfully to download the program installer, but I can't find in the web the place to download the Encore CS3 content/Library (menus, buttons, etc)
Do you can supply me a link to download it?
Thanks,

There is a separate download for the Encore CS6 functional content... as far as I know, CS3 is "all in one" so when you download the program, everything is included in one install

Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
My System:
WinXP Pro SP2
2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
Intel PERL mobo
3GB 400MHz RAM
NVidia 7800GS video
I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
etc) when using any CS3 app.
The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono
channels LAME3.96r, 717436 KB.
footage5.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six

footage6.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage7.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels

footage8.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels

footage9.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.2 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 2291904 KB
Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
"planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

Editing Menus in Encore CS3 with Photoshop 5.5

Realllllllly need someone's help on this. I'm new to Encore CS3, and bought it bundled with Premiere Pro CS3 which i really like. Now, i'm trying to use one of the pre-supplied menu templates in Encore, and tailor it to my specific video project by renaming the title and the buttons in the submenu for chapter selections. I read that all editing has to be done with Photoshop, and the only version of Photoshop that i have is 5.5. Will this work with Encore CS3? What is happening is that i am trying to get to the correct layer of the menu in Photoshop to change the text, and once i finish making the text changes, then i import the edited version back into Encore, but Encore then doesn't read the button choices when i try to link them to video. It's like the menu just died. So how in the world can i tailer the text on those supplied menu templates to my particular video? And does Photoshop 5.5 work with Encore CS3? I sure hope so, cuz i can't afford to buy more software! Thanks so much for whatever help anyone can give, i'm about ready to scream!

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!

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

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.

Blu-ray Bewegtmenü in Encore CS3 überhaupt möglich?

Hallo,
habe gerade ein Bewegtmenü (vollflächiges Video + transparenter vollflächiger Button)in Encore CS3 erstellt und dieses Projekt als DVD und als blu-ray gebrannt.
DVD läuft einwandfrei. Video im Menü läuft flüssig ab und Button funktioniert auch. Wie in der Encore Vorschau eben auch.
Die blu-ray hingegen zeigt mir nur ein schwarzes Bild (getestet auf Sony + Panasonic blu-ray-Player) wenn das Videomenü ablaufen sollte (Button funktioniert aber). Habe es im Notebook dann auch noch getestet und was merkwürdiges festgestellt. Das Videomenü spielt ab aber zeigt nur ein schwarzes Bild.
Wer kann mir das erklären? Und wichtiger noch, wie bekomm ich das ganze so zum laufen, dass auch auf der blu-ray mein Videomenü korrekt abspielt.
Danke schonmal
Christoph

Hallo Mylenium,
vielen Dank für die Antwort. Die 24p funktionieren aber nur im NTSC und nicht im PAL-Format.
Heute hat Panasonic eine neue Camcordergeneration mit 1080p50 vorgestellt. Ist bekannt, ob Adobe dieses Format unterstützen wird?
Vielen Dank für die Antworten!

Encore CS3 missing Library Files

I have installed Encore CS3 and also purchased the Adobe Master CS3 DVD 30 day try out. On three different PCs. Running Windows Pro, tried different user types, MSconfig to turn off program when installing, you name it.... When I run Encore and look for any Library file nothing is there.. just a General Tab and no files. I called Adobe after 45 minutes, 5 different contact people I was told to do a reinstall (duh!).. I did that same problem.
Can anyone tell me how to get Encore CS3 to install the Library content files or where to locate these to install.
Thanks
DP

Neither does the full version. I purchased the full version this week and NO LIBRARIES
I upgraded (at least I thought I was upgrading) Premiere and Encore this week. I am close to asking for a refund since I have had nothing but issues with both.
My problem right now is the libraries for Encore CS3. You know the templates for menus and buttons etc. Some people call that content but the useless people in India call the manuals content so I am trying to be clearer.
I bought the downloaded version so please do not tell me they are on disk #3. I download 5 files and installed them. Some of them I re-downloaded and I installed twice. They are.
- ADBEPPROCS3_ALP.exe (Premiere Pro CS3)
- ADBEAENCC3_ALP.exe (Encore CS3)
- PPROCS3_Cont_ALP.EXE (Premiere Pro Content/manuals)
- AENCCS3_Cont_ALP.exe (Content/manual installer for Encore CS3 manual)
- AENCCS3_Cont_ALP.7z (3 gig file of foreign language manuals)
I am running on an HP M8040N with Vista Ultimate (32) I of course search the Adobe site and Google and I have seen other people with the same problem. After spending 1 hour with "Tech Support" in India I was told I needed to call Adobe Tech Support Monday thru...you get the idea.
WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR...the pre made Templates, Menus, Buttons, etc. that came with the disk version of Encore.
Can anyone help or am I effed for the week-end and most likely beyond?

Encore CS3 Font Selection - No Instant Preview disappointment

It is disappointing that I need to open a different application rather make my font selection in Encore.
I am supprised Encore CS3 does not have an excellant font preview.
Where are the Architects and Product Owners??? Is it pulling too much functionality into Encore? Are you expecting most edits to be done in Photoshop, so why bother?
Microsoft Word 2007 gives instant feedback as I scroll through my fonts. This is what I would really like to see with both Encore and Photoshop.
And where is the autosave functionality found in Premiere. Two crashes due to msvcr80.dll has taught me to hit ctrl-s frequently.

Steven,
In Encore, make sure the Menu Viewer and the Character panel are visible in their frames.
Use the text tool to highlight the text you want format with a new/different font.
Click in the font name drop down list (not the drop down arrow) and then use the arrow keys to move up or down the font list. As you do so, the highlighted text will change to show you how it will look as each font is selected by the arrow keys.

Basic Encore CS3 Tutorials?

Hello! I'm a brand new Encore CS3 owner and user. I have learned Premiere Pro, and love it, but am having fits and starts trying to get Encore to do even the most elementary menu. What i need is a tutorial (hopefully free!) that guides you through the entire process starting with launching Encore, to burning the CD, and explaining the menu process etc. The tutorials that came with the whole CS3 bundle were hopelessly way too specific in explaining doing certain things that i have no intention of doing this early in the game, and the User Guide is completely useless as well in identifying the steps along the way to follow in authoring a DVD. So is there any kind of basic tutorial out there that i can download that will get me up to authoring my 1st DVD in Encore with just the basics?? I can learn the fancy stuff later, like motion backgrounds, motion buttons, music, etc., but for now, i just want to put a menu together, for example, that i can modify somewhat from the templates provided. MANY thanks for any suggestions! Alan

There are also a lot of basic things covered in the manual as well (assuming you got a version with the printed manuals).
Try looking here, or in the PDF manuals if you did not get printed manuals.
