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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Create BluRay on DVD9 with Encore CS4?

    1. Can Encore CS4 create a DVD9 in BluRay format that will play on any BluRay player? I listened to a podcast that Toast could do this, so I'm hoping it the new CS4 Encore can.
    2. Any links to instructions for above?
    3. Which codec to go with? I also have Squeeze 5, which just got a great review against the Adobe and Apple compressors for H.264. If time is not an issue, which format will give me the best quality?
    Thanks!

    Miseree,
    As Joe said, you can't directly burn a BluRay project to a regular DVD from Encore.  However, you can do it and if you read through this thread, you can see how it was worked out and apparently one can even burn about 60 minutes of BluRay materal to a dual layer DVD.
    http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/145/862674
    Right now it's a little more complex to burn a BluRay DVD that will play on a Play Station 3, though.  You still need a BluRay player to play the disk.
    Let me know how it works out.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    computer took 20 minutes to show screen when turned on..
    It runs out of memory and i am looking for the place where secret files may be stored...maybe the ones that do the transcoding? or ones creating the dvd...maybe thats the cause???

    Cheers

    no typo... when i put mouse over C: that is what it said.. I minimsed Encore and Prem , as they were non responsive on every action for a minute or two... then closed, then uninstalled cs2 and then got 13 GB not enough to defrag( it did say it couldn't defrag a few files??? , which i do often.. enough to open them, tread very carefully, then burn the dvd. Preview was too slow to check, so luckily...well i checked all had sound, all footage was ok, all links worked and burnt. It took 4 hours to transcode, but it worked. Then I made 20 copies using encore...so with patience, assistance from the world I am back on track, but would love to clear the computer up so it can be defraged correctly and i have some speed back, and put my personal stuff back on, Pre project...CHEERS

  • Creating DVD menus in Encore CS4

    I have only very briefly experimented with trying to create a DVD menu for my Premier Pro CS4/Encore CS4 projects.  I must say I have found it not at all intuitive.
    Can anyone please:
    1: Recommend a nice clear tutorial on how to create DVD menus in PPro CS4/Encore CS4
    and/or:
    2:  Recommend a nice simple not-too-costly programme with which I can create DVD menus from my PPro CS4/Encore CS4 projects.
    The menus which come with Encore seem pretty naff, too.  If anyone can recommend some simple software which has nicer ones I'd be grateful.
    Thanks all!

    Unless PSE 9 has changed things, the big limitation in using Photoshop Elements is that it cannot create the Button Layer Sets, but can edit them, from the Library Menus. Photoshop has no such limitation.
    I do not know if GIMP can do the Menus, but it is often recommended as a free alternative for PS. As I have PS, I have not even seen that program in decades.
    One additional source for pre-made Menus is Muvipix. These are free to subscribers, and for sale to non-subscribers. Also, they are done as PrE Menu Sets, but can be broken down and modified to function as stand-alone Menus for Encore.
    There is a source for pre-made Menus, in the UK, but last time I checked they were heavily weighted to weddings.
    Personally, I just start with a Library Menu, and modify/build what I need in PS.

  • 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. 

  • DVD Audio not synching in Encore CS4

    Problem: I'm creating NTSC dvd in Encore CS4 and audio starts out fine but begins "skipping" around after about 2 minutes. Project looks and sounds fine in PPCS4. The project is 3hrs and 40 min. long. I'm using Verbatim DVD-R's and have been using them for over 2 yrs. - Windows platform. Write speed is 18x. There are no transitions or edits at the point at where audio starts "skipping" or "jumping" and the video shows a man speaking in front of an audience and continues showing him, then all of a sudden the audio skips.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The 2-DVD set is probably a good idea. I have been faced with similar. I have one client whose player will NOT play any burned DL discs. For him, I need to break things down to multiple disc sets.
    Even with limited motion Assets, I try to limit DVD-5's to 120 mins. of Duration. If I go much over that (just a rule of thumb, based on my tests of quality), I'm reaching for the DVD-9's, or looking to find logical disc breaks in PrPro.
    Good luck,

    I have shot some footage and have they in dvd pal format.
    I was able to create a motion menu, slide show and advd with encore cs4. i could play the dvd on pcs and normal dvd player on the tv.
    But: Slide Show and all Movies are flickering. Menu also.
    Than i tryed Windows DVD Maker (Free when you have Ultimate Vista).
    I used there absolutely the same videos and photos. Result: Slide show and video quality was perfect and without flickering problems.
    I spent a lot of money and o can not believe that this free tool dvd maker is better than encore cs4.
    so please help me to solve this problem.
    I really don't know what i could try.
    Thank you and see you soon.

    Hi,
    Could somebody tell me which settings i should set on premiere cs4 to export in a good format to import to encore cs4?
    Maybe i could solve my problem on using the right settings on exporting a video from premiere cs4.

  • 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

  • Encore cs4 crashes upon creating a new file

    I recently purchased the Production Premium CS4 and when I try to run Encore or Premiere Pro, when I make a new file the program will quit and give me an Adobe crash submit screen.  I have tried chaging the sizes and types of the files I create, defragging the harddrive, reinstalling Encore and Premiere, installing updates, all to no success.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Usually, the problems with Roxio are in relation to its DLA (packet-writing) module and Encore "seeing" one's DVD drive. In a Custom Install, one can choose to not install this (plus a little indexing/cataloging module). Usually, just the necessary parts of Roxio do not cause that many problems. However, uninstalling it, to do a Custom Install, can pose a problem, as the little tentacles seem to reach everywhere.
    I have the full DivX package on my workstation, and the CODEC's on my laptop. To date, they have played fine with Encore2, though I do NOT use any material that uses that/those CODEC(s) as Assets - only for my conversion program to convert to DV-AVI Type II for work in PrPro, and to Export to DivX for streaming (again in PrPro). Does not mean that a more recent version of Encore might not have a problem with it.
    Now, many games love to "hook" various aspects of a computer system, when they are installed. This is to wring the most performance out of the computer. This would be an area that I'd look at very, very closely. One place to start would be any fora for the particular games, and also reviews on gaming sites, that test and report. Look for any comments about games that need to boost the performance of any sub-system on the computer. Back in the later DOS/early Windows days, I had a separate boot disc for almost every game, because each needed RAM, and graphics managed in special ways. Now, the system requirements are so very much greater, than way back then. Would be worth an investigation.
    Wish I had a "magic bullet" for your problem, but only see things to qustion and nothing that screams out at me.
    Good luck and please report back,

  • Encore CS4 DVDs can't play on some computers without an upgrade - why?

    Can anyone give me advice on this.
    The DVD's I've put together in Encore CS4 demand upgrades on two other computers other than my own which play them ok.
    Why the required upgrade?
    The original footage was taken on an AVCHD camera then burnt to PAL DVD discs by this method.  I created a DVD image first and then used Nero to burn the image onto the disc...the reason for this being... I want the image on my computer for permanent keeping and I wanted to test the image this way.  Encore doesn't seem to have this facility.
    I also need urgent help. My discs need to go for replication this coming week.  I need to know what to put on our website as a warning and also where to get upgrades for some computers.
