Encore CS4 Menü Probleme

Hallo zusammen,
Ich arbeite gerade an einem Kapitelmenü, mein Hauptfilm besteht aus 9 Kapitel. Habe demnach auch neun Buttons die einwandfrei funktionieren.
Jetzt habe ich neben den Buttons eine Landkarte abgebildet, die je nachdem welcher Kapitel angewählt wird eine andere Ortschaft anzeigen sollte.
Jetzt zu meinem Problem:
Wen ich den Button und das was zusätzlich auf der Karte angezeigt werden soll in den gleichen Ebenen-Ordner in PS (z.b. (+) Rückfahrt), dann wird der Buttonbereich in Encore so gross, das sich die 9 Buttonbereiche überschneiden. was ja nicht geht.
Wie kann ich es machen, das wen ich einen Button z.b. unten links anwähle, oben rechts im Bild zusätzliche informationen auftauchen?
Und nicht nur der Button sich verändert.
Gruss Hans

Also im DVD Studio Pro 4 hat es funktioniert mit der Funktion Ebenenmenü.
Ja, schon, aber Ebenenmenüs sind Kacke, weil eigentlich auch nur ein Hack unter Ausnutzung eines anderen DVD-Spec Features. Unabhängig davon, hat das eine mit dem anderen nix zu tun. BD Menüs funktionieren nun mal ganz anders als auf DVD und schlicht und ergreifend verwendet ihr das falsche Tool, wen nihr von Encore solche Wunderdinge erwartet.

Encore CS4 Importing Problem

When I'm importing my .mpg file into Adobe Encore CS4, it just gets to 71% and stops. The time keeps increaseing and increaseing with no end in sight. Heres a screenshot...
Now I know it only says 1 Minute and 24 Seconds in this shot but that's just for this one. I refuse to wait anymore. I've waited hours and hours before with zero progress.
Now I've looked this problem up and some have said to delete the "regedit > blabla > adobe > common > Media Cache. DELETE
So that's what I did. I've completely upadted my CS4, I've ran it as administrator. I restarted, I don't know, a million times now. Reinstalled. Everything I could possibly even conjure up with the limited brain power my skull contains. And I still can NOT get this simple file to Import. Also, I've re-exported the video multiple times at multiple bit rates and qualitys, (which takes 8 hours an export) and still nothing.
I'm really trying to hold back my anger in this post.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I have not heard of the "never-ending Import/Transcode" in some time, but perhaps this En FAQ Entry will help?
Good luck,
Hunt

Encore CS4: Menü kopieren- Buttonnummern verdreht

Hi,
wenn ich eine Menüseite kopiere um die gleiche Seite nochmals in einer andern Sprache zu machen verdreht mir Encore die Buttonnummern.
Sprich, Button 1 im deutschen wird zu Button 7 im englischen.
Bei Buttons die nur unterstrichene Textebenen sind tauscht mir Encore dann sogar die Texte aus. Der Button heißt dann z.B. im englischen anstatt "Hauptmenü" auf einmal "Button 3"
Die Verknüpfungen bleiben aber bei der originalen Buttonnummer, also verweist mein Button 7 im englischen auf Film 1. Verstanden?
Warum ist das so und wie umgehe ich das?
Gruß

Automatisches Umbennen kann man ausschalten im Eigenschaften Panel (automatische Bennenung) und in CS4 gibt's dafür auch 'ne globale Voreinstellung. Die Nummerierung ist gewollt, nur funzt es halt manchmal nicht so, wie man das gern hätte. Uralte Macke. Kannste nix machen, einfach Knöpfe wieder umbenennen.

Help, uninstall of Encore CS4 causing problems with PP CS4

I uninstalled Adobe Encore CS4 (from my Master Suite). It gave me an error at the end, but I ignored it and used encore for my project. I thoguht that all was fine. I opened up Premiere Pro today and it opens, but it does not have the abiltiy to do HD any longer. Obviously whatever failed in my re-install affected Premeier. I am going to uninstall CS4 and reinstall the entire program. Any advice to ensure a clean uninstall and a clean install? I've had issues before and want to do it right - and hopefully once.

Lisa,
Most likely is that you have been bitten by the "Revert to Trial" Bug. Did you recently update PrPro?
If so, and you are missing your HD options, you now have the "trial," though you started with the full-paid version.
Here are the steps to perfrom:
Deactivate, if possible
Uninstall PrPro
Download and run the Adobe Cleaner Tool CS5 (that is the latest) several times, rebooting in between each
Install PrPro and immediately Update, before launch
Launch and test.
Good luck,

Encore CS4 Start-Up Problem

Hi,
When I try to open Encore CS4, either by creating a brand new project, or by using dynamic linking to bring in a short sequence from Primiere Pro, I get about 80% through the progress bar labeled "preparing transcoder settings" when I get the following error messasge, and the application crashes:
Adobe Encore Debug Event
Adobe Encore has encountered an error:
[..\..\src\AMEPresetProber.cpp - 258]
As best I can make out from the crash report, Encore is trying to run dvacore.dll when the crash occurs, although I'm not absolutely positive about this (I'm basing this on the program counter address where the exception_breakpoint occurs ; this address fell within the range populated by dvacore.dll if I am reading the crash file properly).
I'm assuming the error message is telling me that a routine in the C++ source file AMEPresetProber.cpp was running at the time of failure. I'm further assuming from the name of the file that Encore was looking through a list of Adobe Media Encoder presets when the problem occurred. But of course, without access to the source code, there is no way to see what the program was doing, or what error code 258 means.
If anyone has seen this problem, and has a suggestion on how to fix it, I would appreciate your input.
As an FYI, I did carefully read a long thread about Encore CS4 crashes, and tried several of the fixes there -- Updating my nvidia card drivers, installing the "roxio" px patch, updating QuickTime, and erasing Encore's preference files. I also checked Adobe's web site to see if there were any updates for Encore CS4 (I am running 4.0.1.048), but when I tried installing the only update available, I was told that it was older than the version I currently had loaded. At this point, short of reloading the entire CS4 suite, I'm out of ideas of what to try next.
I'm also wondering if there is something I could change with Media Encoder's settings that might help, since the problem seems to occur when Encore is looking over AME's presets.
Thanks in advance for your input.

P.S. I'm running Vista Ultimate, service pack 2 on a dual-core 2.4G 6600 machine with 3GB of RAM.

Hi Stan,
Thanks for responding.
Truth be told, I got so focused on the Encore problem, it didn't occur to me to see whether Media Encoder was still functioning properly on my machine.
At any rate, I did byte the bullet, and re-install Encore, and the problem in question went away. Interestingly enough, when you opt to re-install Encore, CS4 automatically re-installs Media Encoder as well, so I guess the two programs are pretty tightly joined at the hip. Not surprising, perhaps, since I suspect that Encore is in some ways just a special case of Media Encoder, at least as far as the transcoding is concerned.
Of course, once I got Encore up and running, I tried to bring over a very, very small sequence from Premiere Pro and build it, and Encore crashed again (In PproHeadless.exe call to ImageRender.dll). Frustrating, since as a newbie all I'm trying to do is understand how the sequence settings I'm using in Premiere translate into final DVD output. The project I am working on involves a mixture of still images and short video clips culled from many sources in many formats, and my first renders in Premiere yielded lots of letterboxing (I'm learning the hard way about pixel aspect ratios and the like). As such, I figured before I built too many sequeneces, I should find a set of settings and work procedures that yield good results.
I used dynamic linking to bring over my sequence from Premiere, and I'm thinking that perhaps having both Encore and Premiere open at the same time requires too many resources on my limited system. Time to go figure out other options for moving sequences from Premiere over to Encore to see if that is in fact the issue.

Premiere CS4 to Encore CS4 Export Quality Problems

I recently purchased a non-linear editing machine with an RTX2 Matrox Card and CS4 Professional. After six or seven projects, I finally noticed that all my imported .avi files exported through Adobe Media Encoder and burned through Encore CS4 are not as crisp, sharp, or look like the original high quality SD footage after the DVD is burned like it always used to look in CS2. ( jumped from CS2 to CS4)
These DVDs were of plays, football, and basketball games. It seems that when the camera shoots a close up, the video looks fine but after you shoot from a distance, there is a considerable difference in the footage. ( alomost blurry) I just caught this and nobody has complained but I watched one of my older DVDs I produced with CS2 and it had no quality loss whatsoever. There is a night and day difference
For the sequences, I am using Matrox SD, NTSC, Standard, 720 x 486 and capturing with firewire through the Matrox card. The raw footage is beautiful. The Video Preview Option is NTSC Standard and the Codec is NTSC Matrox DV/DV Cam.
I can playback a timeline from the Matrox card and burn directly to a DVD burner and the footage is perfect, but when I export, I have chosen Microsoft .avi file, Matrox DV/DV Cam/ MPEG2, and MPEG2DVD.
I have even changed the sequences codec to Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame and tried exporting using that out of Adobe Media Encoder and am getting the same results.
None of my customers have complained yet, but I definitely do not want to continue producing almost blurry DVDs.
I am using Adobe Premiere CS4 Version 4.1.0 and Encore CS4 Version 4.0.1.048 and Matrox Version 4.1.0.23
Can this problem be related to and eliminated by updating my CS4 Production Suite and my Matrox Software.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced this same issue and what solution they came up with or if anyone knew if the updates would correct this important issue. I just filmed a lengthy play that I have to author through Encore CS4 and I cannot release any more of my productions until this problem is solved. This is a big dollar production and I need some assistance on this matter as soon as possible. Thanks Jimi White

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I just purchased my non-linear with CS4 Production Suite and the Matrox RTX2. I have several projects that I am working on right now and I was advised by Adobe, Matrox, and my non-linear vendor, 1 Beyond, to finish those projects before performing updates.
I also found out that If I export using the MPEG2 8Mbps, it cleared up the video dramatically. We had to go through a number of export presets in order to find out what worked best in Encore. I am going to try to finish the project now and will advise on the results.
This is a basketball highlight DVD and that's when I noticed the problem. My other productions were photos to music, and non sporting events and I didn't notice any problems with those DVDs ( they actually looked decent. Worst part about it was, I finished the project once and burned 18 DVDs, and then reviewed one of them and found the problem. I have to start over and just eat the DVDs printed and all.
Thanks again, it was nice of you to get back to me.

Encore CS4 problem uploading flash streams to remote ftp in build

Hi
I'm working on a windows XP and trying to upload to my my remote server which has a new install of the Adobe Flash Streaming Media Server 3.5
as for Encore
under build when creating a streaming flash I can't log into my ftp site, only to local folder.
I created a link to my ftp site under networks, when trying to link to this FTP Encore won't accept it.
no problem creating flash progressive downloads but impossible to upload the streaming version.
progressive is really not the desired output.
how can I log onto the ftp site?
thanks in advance
Klaus

If FTP still doesnt work for you, please try uploading videos to FTP server without using Encore (try windows FTP or a FTP client). If you cannot upload videos anyway, the problem could be with FTP server configuration.
Following are the steps to setup your streaming server. (Steps are for Microsoft IIS FTP server on WinXP. You can use another server also)
1. You have to install a Flash Media Server 3.5 and a FTP server for this. FMS 3.5 free developer edition can be downloaded from www.adobe.com
2. Install IIS on winXP from Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (You may need a windowsXP installation DVD)
3. Configure FTP server to point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod\media" folder
(FTP server can be configured from IIS window in Control Panel > Administrative Tools> IIS. Right click Default FTP site > Properties > Home Directory Tab > Set Local Path to "FMS3\applications\vod\media\media" folder)
4. Encore streaming script for the server will still point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod" and not to Media folder inside Vod. (For example, if FMS server name is amgupta, FLV streaming location will be "rtmp://{FMServerName}/vod/"
5. Encore streaming script should be updated at 2 places with the new server names. ("rtmp://FMSservername/vod/flv:" and ftp://FTPservername ). The script is located at "X\Adobe Encore CS4\Required\flashExportScript\localFMS.jsx" where X is the install location of Encore CS4)
Hope this works.

Subtitle problems with Encore CS4 and BD/Blu-ray -- here is a solution!

Do you have problems with subtitles: for example they vanish completely after doing fast forward or turn them off and on again. Then here you can find one possible solution.
I am using Windows Vista 32bit. Thus Encore CS4 is the last version which I can use. Because Adobe will never provide a solution for this version, I was looking for another solution.
At least I found a workaround for my subtitle problems.
Now I am doing the following steps:
1. Create the blu-ray disk in a folder without subtitles
2. Create the subtitles with a program like "subtitle workshop"
3. Save the subtitles in the .srt format.
4. Use the program SubConverter Express v1.5.0 to convert the subtitles in the .sup format. Here you must choose a suitable font & font size.
5. Add the .sup to the blu-ray folder structure with the program BDFix Express v1.7.3. When doing that, you can also choose the language i.g. "deu" for german. You will find a detailed description in the forum on www.defsoft.com. It is very easy to understand.
6. BDFix will create a new folder with all necessary files to burn a blu-ray disk. Nothing changes in comparison to the folder which was createt by Encore except that subtitles were added.
7. You can burn this folder with a tool like imgburn.
With this workaround you will have the following advantages:
1. It seems that these subtitles were added in a blu-ray specification conform way. Fast forward/backward, switching on/off, chapter jump still work perfectly.
2. The subtitle fonts are rendered in a much more smooth way than Encore does.
3. The 5 frames gap between subtitles is not longer necessary.
4. This solution ist quite fast (about 20 minutes for a 25 GByte disc).
5. You can use these programs also for other blu-rays to add or remove subtitles.
6. You do not need Encore to add/change or remove subtitles. You can do that also years later. You only need the burned blu-ray disc.
To be honest, there is one disadvantage:
- The two programs (SubConverter & BDFix) cost about 200 US Dollar. But to cure my nerves that was worth it.
Hint: You can do a first test with the freeware versions. But there are two limitations. SubConverter can only import 30 subtitle lines and BDFix will only create 3 minutes of subtitles.
Greetings,
Ralf

FLV and F4V use different codecs for Flash video. H.264 in case of F4V and On2 VP6 for FLV. There's a difference of bitrate between different quality presets. You can check the bitrates of files generated using some tool. Your video might be very static to feel the different be the two quality settings.
F4V is the new format and need a newer version of Flash Player. Please update your Flash player and try again to play the F4V files.
Playstream doesnt support F4V format. You can only export FLV files to Playstream.
It might also be an issue of low bandwidth while playing a streaming video. Are you playing is locally or from a web server.

Problem with menus with Encore CS4

Hi,
I am creating a DVD of my home footage. So I did the video editing in PP, created a main menu in Photoshop and buit the DVD in Encore. The problem that I have is with the highlight button on the menu. To create my button, I created a group that contains 2 text layers, the first is simply black text (displayed when the button is not selected) and the second is a subpicture (=1) of the same text in a different color for when the button is selected. When I do a preview in Encore, everything looks fine but after building the DVD, it's not. For some reason, when I highlite a button, only the end of the text doesn't change color, it's very weird. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Look at the end of the letter n.
I've tried different fonts, different colors, different sizes, played with the fill and opacity but I can't seem to figure it out, everytime, the end of the selected button stays black. Any idea?
Thanks.

Problems Burning in Disc in Encore CS4

Hello all,
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Encore CS4 and I'm trying to burn a blu-ray disc but the program is giving me problems.
All of my video assets are .m2v movie clips, which includes the motion menus I am using, compressed to that format in Sorenson Squeeze.
The first time I tried to burn the disc I received an error before it even started to render the menus. The error was Src\VideoFrameManipulators.cpp-563. I did some searching and decided to import the quicktime movies of the menus and use the quicktimes instead of .m2v files. When I tried to build the project again it got through rendering almost all the menus and then I received this error message Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114].
After that I tried transcoding each menu video separaretly and that did work, I got the same PPixHandleUtilities error again. I tried re-importing the files, relinking the files, etc, nothing is working. I'm at a loss.
I have burned a blu-ray disc already so I don't think it is the drive.
I'm running Windows Vista Business 64-bit as the operating system.
Any thoughts?
Kristin

I too am having problems burning data disks to dvd. While it appeared to burn without problems. It took over an hour sometimes 2 or 3 to burn the dvd which upon completion was not recognized in either my Dell or my Mac. I hooked up my external drive where my music is kept to my Mac and it appears to have burnt correctly readable by both machines and took about ten minutes to burn each dvd. So it appears the Windows version is majorly screwed.

Encore cs4 - PCM encode problem

I have a problem with ENCORE CS4 related to PCM encoding. Settings in the project I set up the PCM. I also set up the export settings set to PCM. But when it has finished transcoding and when I look in the "MediaInfo" tells me that the audio in video is AC3 not the PCM. Someone knows how to solve this problem? The video i shoot is 1920x1080 25p, PCM audio,....
Thanks,
Sebastian

It was my fault. I made a preset, but i didnt it switched on, but now everything is fine!
Thx,
Sebastian

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 menu button problems

I just started using Encore CS4 and I made a menu for a video. The menu was taken from the library, but I added another button by typing text, then right clicking the text and selecting the choice to make the text into a button. When I burned it to DVD, the text button had no highlight, so I could not choose it when the DVD was played in my DVD player. When the DVD was played in my computer, I could choose the text button and it worked fine, it just didn’t work in my DVD player. So, my question is: how do I create a menu button in Encore (from scratch and not from the library) that has a highlight when selected on my DVD player?
Also, is there a good source for freeware buttons and menus that I could download and use in Encore?

I don't fully understand what I did, but it is now working. That is, I created a new button and the highlight works just fine. If I look at the layers tab, the new button and the old button have the same layers. I guess I could open them into Photoshop, but I have never used PS, so was hoping I could do this all in Encore. Guess now is a good time to learn PS.

Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

Hello,
I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
Thank you,
Chris...

Hey,
thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
Thanks,
Chris...
