Encore cs4 creates invalid disc image (iso file)

I have a video I edit in premiere cs4, exported an .mpg file that I import into encore to create a DVD. This works mostly fine (I have to delete the .xmp* file before importing to encore).
Today I edited the video, re-encoded the mpg file using quality 5 and 2 pass vbr, and added a slide show (about 6 photos) to the encore project. It also builds fine to a disc image (iso file). But when I try to burn the iso file using windows 7, it tells me the iso image is invalid. I tried imgburn and got an error message like this:
session 1 track 1 MODE1 .... 2054
dvd format: MODE1 .... 2048
If I ask imgburn to continue it then says something about CSS and encryption, which I don't use, so I assume the iso file is too messed up.
I burned a DVD5 directly from encore, and it works in a dvd player.
Any idea why this invalid iso happens and whether there is a work-around?
Since cs4 is not the latest version, I assume there is no hope of bug fix?

There seem to be major problems in the disc creation process. I am struggling since several days now and I am not able to produce a working Blu-Ray Disk or iso image with Encore 5.5:
- when producing Blu-Ray ISO images, you get an ISO that is recognized as DVD iso in all virtual drive programs. Therefore, you cann not burn them on a BD-R disc, also viewing them is not possible because it is a "DVD with blu-ray content".
- when burning directly to disk, Encore does not close the sessing. This means, the Disk is not playable on all home Blue-Ray players. It was playable on my computer, but after closing the session manually the disc was a coaster.
- when burning on a virtual burner (Virtual CD 10), the Blue-Ray plays ok on my computer, but I am NOT able to make a ISO image from this disk because some errors (unreadable blocks) on the disk are reported during creation and image creation stops.
- from time to time (not reproduceable), Encore produces an additional AACS folder on the created Blu-Ray.
I am an experienced user and dont have any issues with other software solutions, but with Encore I was not able to get any usable results so far.

Creating a disc image from an iso file

I have a samsung Bluray player that requires and update. I downloaded the file (which is a zip), then expanded it. It is an iso file. I need to create a disc image (not a simple burn to a cd) in order to update my samsung player. How do I do that? Disc Utility?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The ISO file is on my desktop. I didn't understand how to get it to show in DU, but when I hit BURN, a navigation window opens...thank you.

How do I burn a disc image (img file) to dvd?

I created a disc image from iDVD, but my disc drive on my home computer is broken. With a flash drive, I copied the img file onto my work computer & burned the file to disc. However, while the file copied, the disc doesn't play as normal dvd. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Though the replies above were very helpful and most likely would have worked, my work computer doesn't allow access to Disc Utilities. However, I bugged my IT guy and he showed me another way, using the Burn Application. I just needed to use the correct setting, as was mentioned above, I was burning data & not DVD. I'm sorry I don't have it in front of me, but I think I had to click the DVD tab & then select DVD/Video from the drop-down menu. One quirky element: I wasn't able to drag/drop the img file into Burn. I needed to drop the contents of the img file (the VIDEO_TS folder). Then it worked fine.

Disk Utility Unable to Correctly Burn Bootable Discs From ISO Files with Yosemite (10.10.1)

My problem is with burning ISO images to make a bootable DVD disc with OSX 10.10.1. I cannot drag and drop an ISO file (in this case, Ubuntu 14.04 server iso) to the disk utility and then burn it with Yosemite. I have to first open the ISO file, then attempt to burn it. The DVD it creates is unreadable. I tried to convert the ISO file to CDR and also IMG - same problem: disc unreadable error.
I then went back to OSX 10.9.5 and tried the same thing - worked like a champ. I was able to drag and drop the ISO file into the Disk Utility window and successfully burn a bootable DVD disc from the same Ubuntu ISO file I tried using with 10.10.1.
Hey Apple, what's up? You broke Disk Utility in 10.10.1. Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a work-around? I hate to have to keep booting an older version of OSX to accomplish this task. So far, Yosemite has been a bust for me with all the other problems I have experienced. I might as well go back to 10.9.5 on all my Macs until Apple gets their act together with Yosemite.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Trying to create encrypted disc image on external drive

Hi,
I'm trying to create a 10Gig encrypted disc image on an almost empty 2Tb external HD. I go through the usual steps using disc image. But about 1/4 of the way through "creating image" it stops, saying "file too large". Why is this, and is there a way around it.
Richard

Oops. I've just realized that the external HD is formatted as FAT32, so that explains it.

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.

Cannot Create Encrypted Disc Image

So, I can't seem to create an encrypted disc image in Disk Utility, as the linked screen capture shows:
http://imgur.com/7dv3t.png
The "Create" button is grayed out. This occurs even if I try different settings for Volume Format, Partition, Encryption, and Image Format.
Anyone have any ideas on why this is happens?
(Running 10.5.8 on a MBP Santa Rosa, with no modifications except for 4GB of RAM, and I wasn't able to create disc images even before the 10.5.8 update.)

No problem. I remember being stumped by the exact same thing myself.

Mounting CD/DVD image (*.ISO file) under Windows 7

Does Encore, or any other prgram in the CS5 suite, have the ability to mount an ISO file as a CD or DVD under Windows 7?

Here is one program, but I have never used it: http://download.cnet.com/Mount-ISO-Files-Virtually/3000-2169_4-10628996.html

Can't create BR disc image

Trying to export Encore project to a BluRay disc image. The error message says I'm using too many characthers in the image name, but I'm only using six characters, all letters.
Help?

Can you post a screenshot of your build panel? Of the error message? I don't recall this error before, and a 6 letter name certainly shouldn't result in an error.

Creating encrypted disc image on iPod classic

Can I create an encrypted disc image, using Disk Utility on my iPod to store documents?

Can I create an encrypted disc image, using Disk Utility on my iPod to store documents?
Yes. You need to enable disk use for the iPod, and the image must be smaller than 4GB if you're using a PC formatted iPod. There is no way of accessing the documents on the iPod itself.

Encore CS4 - restoring my "Disc" tab?

I somehow accidentally closed the "Disc" tab in Encore CS4 - the tab that has the pie chart showing how much of the disc is used by the project so far, along with choices to check the project and build the DVD.
Can anyone tell me how to get that window back? I looked under the "Windows" menu, which is where I logically expected it to be, but all it has is separate options for "Build" and "Check", but nothing for "Disc".
I really liked the layout of the "Disc" menu, and would really like to get it back. Anywhere else I can look to find it?

That's all under the Build tab now. And CS4 doesn't have a pie chart - it's just a bar graph.

Encore Cs4 creating chapters

Gentlemen !
Windows Ultimate
CS4 Encore
I have a 3 hours and 25mins video (NTSC AVI)
Basically its a family video, which includes an Intro, dancing part, dinner and ending
I wanted to make a DVD disk
So I imported my video as an asset and created a timeline for it
Now how can I divide the my into at least 4 parts
Basically I want to have 4 chapters on the main menu , like the first chapter would be the intro, the second chapter would be the dancing part and so on...
But I must have at least 4 buttons on the main menu and each button represents a scene
Thank You !

The best option for such a long video is to create it as 4 videos, divided as the 4 sections you want. Then you link a button to each of the videos for the individual sections, and you create a playlist to "play all." (You add one more button for the play all.
With the one timeline you will have, you set a chapter marker at the beginning of each of the sections (chapter 1 is set by default in Encore). Be sure you set the chapter markers before you transcode. (Chapter markers have to be at a gop boundary. Encore will take care of that as long as you set the chapter marker before transcoding.)
Your "play all" button will link to that timeline. You will create 4 chapter playlists (CHAPTER playlists, not a "playlist") with one (only) of the 4 chapters in a chapter playlist. Your section buttons will link to those chapter playlists.
Are you planning a dual layer disk? That's a lot of video for a single layer. Layer breaks sometimes create issues with long timelines.

Can I boot from an image (*.iso) file?

I have XP Pro and OSX on my MBP using bootcamp only (not parallels or fusion). I can boot in linux from a CD when I initiate bootcamp (option key on startup). Can I locate the image from the CD on my computer and boot without the CD (and if so where do I put the file)? I want to use triple boot now to add Linux, but don't really want to repartition for it. If there was an easy tool to put an additional 10G partition for Linux I would do that.
Thanks

How can you have a partition for Linux without a partition? You do not want to repartition but yet you want a new partition. Have you really thought out what you want?
Thanks

Disc image file & CSS encoding?

I originally exported a project with CSS encoding from DVDSP to a DLT tape for replication. (DDP 2.0 with CSS)
I then created a disc image file of this project and don't remember if I had checked CSS format. Is there a way to determine this by looking through the Video_TS folder or possibly another way.
thanks,
dave

Dave,
Disc Images, per se, cannot have CSS applied to them (they're fixed at 2048 bytes per sector). This is so you can write the Image to DVD-Recordables - which is not allowed to have CSS on them, or mount the Disc Image on various machines; again, no CSS allowed in that application.
For sure, Disc Images do have CSS applied to them, but this is only during DDP 2.0, DDP 2.1, or CMF formatting. Though then, you'll have an unplayable Disc Image in that case, until the replicator applies the unscrambling keys during mastering.
So, if you left the CSS option on, it would have no affect (setting ignored) if formatting a regular "img" to hard drive or Recordable.
Take care,
