Encore CS4 DVD Templates - Anyone?

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any websites that provide Encore CS4 templates for either free download or purchase?
In particular, I'm looking for wedding templates, for use with wedding DVDs that I produce.
I know that Encore comes with a dozen or so wedding templates, but I have used them all too many times and I'm hoping to find some new and perhaps more professional looking menu templates.
So, please, if you know of any good websites that have a selection of Encore CS4 templates available for either free or for purchase, then please post the link here!
Thanks in advance!

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.

Duplicated here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494273?tstart=0
Please pick ONE place to respond... this one would be better, since the Lounge is really not for technical questions
Since this is a USER forum, not Adobe support, the only way another user could reply is if they have the same equipment and software you have, use the same process you do, and then get the same error... and also have a solution
You really need to post DETAILS about your equipment (computer and camera) the process you use (STEP BY STEP description of everything you do from getting the video from your camcorder to the final burn process) and then the EXACT error message and just what it is that needs to be upgrade on your user's computer
Throwing a dribble of information out is simply not going to get an answer
For Windoze (not sure about Mac) This is aimed a Premiere Pro, but may help

For CS4 you must update the Roxio component, especially with Win8

Dual Layer 'Navigaion Failure' on DVD Build in Encore CS4

All,
I've searched the forum and see several post regarding dual layer DVD burning, but none recent.
I'm trying to burn a dual layer DVD ( Memorax DVD+R DL), using Encore CS4. Everything encodes fine, but when Encore starts to actually burn the DVD, I get an error message "navigation build failed' (or something like that, I don't have it in front of me right now). And yes, I did select the correct size DVD setting. :-)
Does anyone had this trouble or have any suggestions?
TIA,
jd

JD,
I would scrap the Memorex blank discs, and use Verbatim instead. Memorex has a very unpopular business model - buy the absolutely cheapest media from whomever and emboss the Memorex label onto it. In spindles of 100, users have reported up to 4 different mfgrs. stuff. One might get 10 discs that work, and then 10 that flat do not. There are several utilities that will tell you who the actual mfgr. is and the lot number. I just use the free burning utility, ImgBurn, as it will read the blank disc and report.
Now, Memorex is an easy target for me, and one of the "usual suspects," so there could be something else going on. Just in case there is, please give the full details of your Project, with Asset types, specs., and how your navigation is setup, and especially the Layer Break.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

Free dvd maker is better than encore cs4

Hi Forum,
OS: Win Vista Ultimate 64bit
Encore CS4
Windows DVD Maker
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.

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.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope that covers it, thank you so much for your help

Encore CS4 cancels itself during DVD writing.

When I try to build my DVD everything works fine up until DVD writing. Then Encore suddenly says "canceling" and ejects my DVD-R with nothing on it.
I've tried several DVD-R brands, cleared the media cache, checked the project for orphans and what not but nothing seems to work. I've also made sure Encore is at write speed 2X (the speed my Mac can handle).
I have 2 Premiere movies on the DVD (not Dynamically linked), and a bunch of .mov files in timelines from After Effects. Once again, everything seems to get transcoded with no problem, it's just afterward when it says "writing" that it suddenly cancels.
I'm using a Intel iMac purchased in 2008. Any help would be great!!! Cheers

Add me and my problem to your list of those who have had the Party HD menu.
I have a problem that may be related. Come see my thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/457417?tstart=0
Please any one with a solution post it somewhere. And I don't want to hear "Rebuild". There was a time a while back where one of my Premier Projects corrupted and someone in an obscure thread posted a link to an xml editor that could read into the project files for premier and allow you to edit out the corrupt bits. I used this and it fixed the problem enough that I could resurrect the project. I was hoping someone knew of a similar thing for Encore.
The Encore project i have been working on is so close to complete and more than 2 years in the making. It took me a couple of weeks getting my menus and AE backgrounds all sorted out, to have it collapse on me now means another 2 weeks or so rebuilding the menus. If I could look into and edit a backup of the project to see and fix what was wrong it would mean a lot of time saved.
I am suspecting that Party HD menu and possibly a few other "orphan" links to assets I deleted from the hard drive are the cause, but until I see the reference I wouldnt know. I really need to at least have a window into the Encore project file.
Anyone have any ideas?

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,

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.

Video DVD PAL poor with Encore CS4

Good day, I am new to this forum.
I ask if you can help on this problem I have with Enore CS4.
After you export a sequence from Premiere CS4 format MPG2 x PAL DVD on Encore, and built my menus for DVD video, the control of various features in Encore atemprima everything works well and the video is of excellent quality, but after doing Burning with a preset encore x DVD PAL, the video played back on any player (whether desktop, both PC) appears to have lost quality looks as blurry and with loss of contrast. I followed exactly all the settings encore, but maybe being transcoding is a loss of video quality.
I tried the PAL Ulead DVD Workshop 2.0 (the program always used before encore) with the same filmato MPG2 used encore, with Ulead DVD is perfect and does not lose quality.
Could you help me to see if something wrong or is it a problem encore cs4?
I have a PC with OS Win XP Prof. Service pak3, Ram 4GZ DDR3, Intel Core Quad Q9850, n. 4 HD 7200/rpm, Grafic Ati Readon HD 4870 latest drivers installed.
Thanks for the help I will be given.

Just to be clear, when you initially did a Burn to Disc for the DVD, it tested and played perfectly, including the full Linked Timelines. It was ONLY with the Flash Export, that things went pear-shaped. Is that correct?
Good luck,
Hunt

"Touch-DVD" in Encore CS4

Ist es in Encore CS4 möglich eine "Touch-DVD" zu erstellen? Ich hab keine Ahnung ob es überhaupt so heißt. Bei uns heißt es so :-)
Ist für eine Messe gedacht und soll folgendermaßen funktionieren.
DVD läuft auf einem Touchscreendisplay. User wählt einen Film im Menü aus.
Film läuft ab. Drückt der User während des laufenden Films auf den Bildschirm springt die DVD ins letzte Menü zurück.
Bei unserem alten Authoringsystem Spruce Maestro funktioniert das ganz einfach indem man eine vollflächige Schaltfläche über das Schnittfenster legt und diese Schaltfläche aufs letzte Menü verweisen lässt.
Hat wer ne Ahnung?
Grüße

Ist leider so nicht möglich weil Encore ja nur 1GB für Menüs an Platz zur Verfügung stellt. Wir würden aber so oder so eine DVD-9 benötigen.
Habe aber gerade erfahren, dass sie das jetzt doch als BD wollen. Da sollte es ja mit PopUps funktioniere, oder?
Hab damit noch nie gearbeitet.
Danke und Gruß
Christoph
