Encore CS4 Burn to DVD+R possible?

Hello:
Can someone please tell me ASAP if Encore is capable of burning a movie to a DVD+R. I have had success with DVD-R but at the moment I only have DVD+R. I noticed that the -R was an option in the build project settings but did not see a selection for +R.
Thanks for a reply.

Tell Encore to create an ISO on hard drive, then use the FREE Imgburn to write the disc

Encore CS4 - Problem creating DVD folder

I have been trying to create a DVD in Encore CS4 and have discovered that if I select the option to create a DVD folder on my hard disk, the resultant VOB files are corrupted in some way (although their sizes and names seem to be correct). However, if I instead burn a disk directly from the transcoded sequence, the result is often fine. Has anybody else encountered this strange issue?
I'm using a quad core (Q660 2.4GHz) PC with 4GB of ram and plenty of spare hard disk space, running the 64 bit version of Vista home premium (SP1 applied). The footage (edited in Premiere CS4) is 1080 25p from an XDCAM PMW-EX1, transcoded to 720x576 (i.e. PAL).

In reply to the two responses so far posted (and thanks for these, by the way):
1. I have not tried creating an ISO image instead. To be honest, I am more interested in knowing why the DVD folder creation fails.
2. I check the VOB files by attempting to play them in a software DVD player (Power DVD). The corrupted ones result in a blank (black) screen and no audio. The ones successfully burnt straight to a DVD will play fine when the folder structure is copied onto my hard drive.

Encore CS4 creating multiple DVDs

Windows 7
Ram 6GB
Encore CS4
Gentlemen !
I have a footage , which is about 7 hours long(Video ntsc) , besides cutting the footage into few pieces, is there any way I can create a set of DVDs, like a let's say DVD1 through 3 or 4
Here is what I do
I import my 7 hours footage , then I create a "TimeLine" on the time line I set chapter marks and I assign each chapter mark to a scene on the main page.
Before I used to do the same thing with 2 or 3 hours footage and it would work fine , but now that my footage is too long , its says all videos cannot fit on one disk , so
Is there any way I can put them on several DVDs ?
Thanks.

Create the separate pieces in Premiere Pro, and export as MPEG2-DVD, ready for Encore to put on disk.
Encore does not do a good job when you put a very large timeline in and crop it, etc.
4 disks will make it easier to break them up in terms of content. You are looking to keep the time under 2 hours per disk max. You can make multiple timelines per disk if that suits the material better.
You'll need to calculate the bitrate to use for the export from PR. If you calculate the fullest disk, you can use those settings for all of them. But you can calculate it for each disk, and get somewhat better quality on the disks that are not as full.

Will Adobe Encore CS4 burn MTS files to an external blue ray burner if I buy one?

Will Adobe Encore CS4 recognize/burn MTS files to an EXTERNAL blue ray burner if I buy one?

Internal vs external should not matter.
I have a burned to external with CS4, but it was a long time ago.
And most importantly, Encore is not a reliable burner for many users, and they, and I, use imgBurn rather than Encore to burn.
Also, "burn an MTS" file is totally different from authoring and burning. Encore (was it by CS4?) added a limited AVCHD passthrough option. I have not used it.

Burning 16x DVDs (im)possible ?

Hello community,
I owe a G3 800 (PowerMac4,5) with a standard internal DVD burner. I burned DVDs (-R) for years. I recently bought a case of 16x DVD -R (Philips), and I am having problems at the beginning of session, with a double error message prompting that I could not print the DVD (the first time, the error message was even more precise, with something related to being unable to calibrate the laser etc...). I tried with another brand 16X DVD-R (Imation), and the same happens now. I do not have any left of my old 8X DVDs (the last one worked well a few days ago). I cannot find more on the market (Valencia, Spain) which apparently has switched to the 16X standard. On one box of these, I picked a warning message on the possibility for having to upgrade the firmwares of burner (intended to PC owners probably). CD Burning is unaffected. The problem happens with Toast, Disk-Utility as well as finder burning, although with different messages (I grabbed the Toast message images if needed).
OK, now my question: could it be that this only change from 8x to 16x is causing the trouble ? If yes, is there a solution (other than hunting for old stocks of 8x... ?).
Many thanks
Yvan

There are several different Manufactures of 16X DVD-R Media.
Not all will operate in the slower DVD burners, You already found that out.
You must buy the absolute best Media. Next you must read the packaging of the media you buy. You need to purchase 16X media that tells you on the packaging that it will burn at 1X,2X,4X,8X,and 16X.
Not all of them will.
I use Maxell 16X DVD-R in the individual Jewel Cases.
Many of these other manufactures will not burn at all the slower speeds and they also use other companies to manufacture there products.

Another suggestion, let the Software choose the burning speed.
Do not manually choose the burning speed.

Opening of Encore projects burned to DVD

Hi Guys
I backed up a project using Nero, by burning the whole project with all the assets to a Verbatim DVD+RW. I did this to free up some space on my hard drive.
After the burning was successfull, I tested the opening of the project from the DVD+RW, by opening the .ncor project, and all I got was "internal software error:.\filespec.cpp, line 190". In short, my project does NOT open.
Luckily, I did not delete the original project from my hard drive as yet. So, when I opened it from my hard drive, it opened with no problems.
My question is: does Encore DVD 2 not work with burned projects?
Useful info:
Product: Encore DVD 2
Burning software: Nero 7 premium
DVD+RW media: Verbatim
OS: Windows XP pro, Service Pack 2
Computer: 3Ghz cpu, 1G RAM, Intel Pentium 4
DVD hardware: LG DVD writer with lightscribe
Thanks for all your help.

Encore can't open a project that is on a DVD.
Copy the project and assets to a local drive, and you should be fine.

Encore CS4 export to Flash, link highlights not correct

Hi,
I'm building a DVD project in Encore CS4.
I have many of the links set to highlight a specific menu item upon returning to a given menu.
For example, the default button on the Main Menu is "Section 1"
However, if the user clicks on one of the "extras" listed on that main menu, "about us" for example, then when they return to the Main Menu, I want the "about us" link highlighted, indicating that's where they just came from. (instead of highlighting the default "Section 1" button)
When I test the project in Encore or burn a DVD to test it the links work/highlight as expected.
When I export to Flash and run it in the browser, the default buttons are only ever highlighted upon landing on a menu, instead of the particular ones I've specified when coming from various parts of the disc.
Is this just a limitation of the Flash export?
To specify what item I want highlighted I'm simply using the drop down menu next to the "Link:" item in the Properties panel...
I select the menu I want to link to, then from the flyout, I select one of the available buttons so it'll be the one highlighted. Is this the correct process?
Thanks.

That is the correct process, and this could very well be a limitation of the flash export. Some of the features of encore only work with DVD projects and not with Flash or Blu-ray, although this particular feature does work with Blu-ray.

Encore CS4 Button & Loop Issues

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

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

A question about Encore CS4 Authoring Mode.

How does Encore CS4 "Authoring Mode", DVD or BLU-RAY, in the projects panel affect the workflow?
It seems that no matter what mode you select, you can still choose to author either a dvd or blu-ray disc in the "Build" panel.

Ok...
I think i figured it out. Appearently the author mode determines whether dvd or blu-ray transcoding will occur when you build or transcode now.

Blu-ray says capacity too big when burning DVD Rom Folder Encore CS4

I have tried 3 times now to burn a Blu-ray Image file with a DVD rom Content Folder. The Blu-ray Image size is 45.90gb and the content folder is 1.6gb. The disk is a Sony DL 50gb Blu-ray. I have not tried to burn direct to disk because cost of Blu-rays. I am using Encore CS4. Is it that you cannot make an image file with DVD-rom for DL Blu-rays. Is there a number preset by Adobe for image file size for DL Blu-ray. Please help

45.90 GB on your hard drive and 1.6 GB on your hard drive add up to 47.60 GB.
In computer GB, (47.60 x 2^30) that's over 51 billion bytes. Sony and other blank media manufacturers report the capacity of their blank discs in normal GB (50 x 10^9), or 50 billion bytes.
Your project is too big to fit on the blank media that you have.

Burning a DVD from CS4 on a Windows 7 computer

I'm unable to burn a DVD from the edited timeline in CS4. I have Windows 7 Home Premium software loaded on my PC. When I go from Dynamic Link to Encore I get an error message stating Encore is not compatible with my PC. How can I burn a DVD using CS4 and Windows 7?

Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim dual layer

DVD doesn't transcode or build in Encore CS4

Hi,
I am building a DVD which is 1hour and 55mins long with chapters and 4 menus. I exported the edited video and audio from Premier Pro into Encore where I then made the DVD menus etc.
When I tried to preview it, it crashed 8 times out of 10! But that's another story!
So I decided just to try and build it, there were no errors and it began to Transcode the premier pro file (video). That took well over 5 hours, and then it started on the (audio), it got to about a 1/5 of the way and there was no change for an hour or so, so I thought I'd just leave it overnight to see if any progress is made. It hadn't. I cancelled it this morning and followed some advice on the forums to Transcode the files that needed transcoding first, in this case, the Premier Pro project and an mp3 audio that I was using to play in the background for the menus. The Audio transcoded quite quickly, but again the video is going ever so slow, I've left it to do it's thing while I'm at work, but it had only progressed a smidgen!
This is my first time at creating a DVD with Premier Pro and Encore, so would appreciate any help possible as to why it may taking so long/showing no progress!
Many Thanks

>mp3 audio
Some mp3 files cause problems, convert to WAV and try again
Some other reading that may help

Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously

Hi
Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously
This happens with an entire series of chapters but does not happen with another series of chapters on thre same DVD.
I am missing something to solve this issue.
Can anyone help?

Hi Jeff,
I just checked:
There is no override on the montage

Having tbl making dvd-encore cs4,win 7,64bit

looked on forum for win 7 encore cs4 Win 7 troubles and found 2, turn off power saver and download some Roxie file. Did both but still freezes, not responding and have to end session, one at 12 min left, and now 2 min left. Also can't eject dvd, have to turn off computer. This is a SD dvd, 90 mins total time, the 1st encore project with new i7 computer, --last night it did burn it but the last 10 mins weren't there. Transcode is automatic. Any ideas--I'll see if I can work on this project in my XP computer, never had any tbl with XP....

Thanks for the reply, I will look into your ideas. I don't have screen saver on and no Nero, iTunes was downloaded with Quicktime and I beleive Win7 uses Roxio, I will check these out.
I put the hard drive docking station back on the XP windows quad core computer, the project was edited on this machine.
Encore burned the dvd complete EXCEPT now no sound, only the menu sound. When I play the timeline there's no sound. This seems to happen when I make a change in PPRO and then go back to Encore. I then export the audio from PPRO and bring it into Encore as an asset, drop it on audio 2 and then all is fine. I did that just now and still hear no audio. I've been using Encore for a year and no troubles. Glad I make the SD dvds 1st before the HD so I don't waste blu ray discs.
My win7 computer is a Dell with Win7 Ultimate, 12 GB ram, i7 920 processor, 1TB C drive and I use external drives to edit on in a docking bay with esata cable.
