Encore CS5 loss in rendered DVD chroma/saturation

Hey,
I am trying to find out why when I bring in a video asset into Encore, why that asset losses about 10% of its chroma/saturation in the picture. Let me explain, I have rendered out a file from our editing system VT5 as an .avi uncompressed 422 file (SD 4:3 720X486 29.97). I then brought it into TMPGEnc (Tsunami MPG Encoder) and encoded the .avi uncompressed 422 file out in the setting DVD MPEG best settings. I adjusted the encoder to out put the .avi file as a .mpg file and it helped had the same aspects (chroma/saturation) as the .avi file. This is where I get lost I bring it into Encore CS5 and it does not need to be transcoded because it is a native file. I set the menu up in Encore so that it can play as a DVD and Build it out. The DVD, when played on any of the TV monitors, has lost 10% of its Chroma/saturation. I checked, thinking it was the TV monitors that were cutting down on the quality. But not so because the .avi or the .mpg file originals have not lost the same amount of Chroma/Saturation on the TV monitors, because I the TV hooked up to the TV monitor. Is there a setting in Adobe encore CS5, or any version that prevents this from happening. Either it be a setting I can change in Encore before I build, or is this just what happens to videos when put out onto a DVD using Encore. Any advise or suggestions would be great.
Sincerely,
Confused

Is this an NTSC, or PAL Project?
Are you viewing the output on a properly calibrated CRT monitor, either PAL, or NTSC, depending on your location?
In my NTSC Projects with EncoreDVD 2.0, I have never observed anything like this, when viewed on a calibrated NTSC monitor.
With other viewing situations, there is usually a total lack of calibration amongst consumer TV's. Only a very tiny portion have ever been properly calibrated, and the vast majority are just as they were set at the factory. Hence, they are totally useless for critical chroma/gamma judgement. There are many professional TV calibration discs available, and I strongly recommend using one to do a proper calibration of any TV, being used to critically judge quality.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Encore CS5 freezes when building DVD

    Hi!
    Just spent lots of money on CS5 and got lots of problems. Cannot build DVD at all. Even 50 sec. HDV, DSLR or any kind. Encore becomes frozen after few min of transcoding.
    dual xeon
    Nvidia quadro 4800
    12 gb ram
    RAID 0   2 T plus multiple single drives.
    Matrox mini, I have installed just the card but not the software since it is not working with  CS5.
    My previous versions of CS3 and CS4 worked fine. I would say that CS4 was much more stable.
    Any comments?
    Thank you in advance.

    I may have had a breakthrough in that, after removing several media converter apps, I now seem to have dependable DVD production. I thrashed around and removed a few things before I checked again, but my suspicion is that ffmpeg might be the culprit, (but I don't have time to reinstall it to verify that notion now).
    I'm happy if that fixes the problem, but still can't help but feel that it's a program flaw if its able to zone out so silently, without an error message, or even reporting that it's not responding, (but just perpetually idling). That was a frustrating and erie problem that I hope can a least be improved on to the point of crashing with some kind of diagnostic if not surmounting whatever the conflict is. So far, 4 DVDs without a hitch. Yea.

    Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    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

  • ENCORE CS5 'FREEZES' WHEN TRANSCODING

    I have built a project (3.75 minutes) in PremierePpro CS5, consisting of AVCHD, stills, and audio tracks. It plays correctly in that application. I then use 'dynamic link' to send to Encore  CS5 - that seems Ok. However, when building (for DVD) the project (and other similar) appear to get about 3/4 way through (according to the progress bar) then 'freeze'. On cancelling, I get the message 'encore not responsing', followed by 'premiere pro not responding'. Ive tried other methods of getting the project into Encore, but the results are the same.
    Any ideas?

    I'm getting a similar lock up of Encore CS5 when building a DVD.
    The source has already been rendered in PP using the AME MPEG DVD settings that follow the source material (24p DV).
    It locks up during the same process each time. The DVD spins up to speed as if it is writing but the progress bar stops about 10% and never moves. I can't cancel the process (it asks if I want to cancel but nothing happens). I can't eject the disk. It continues to spin even through a restart (but I can eject at this point). Windows continues to function fine throughout (for other things).
    The resulting DVD has only about 10 seconds of the opening menu but then locks up (so nothing past that ever got written).  Maybe there's a problem with the menu video or audio?  I'm using the NTSC wedding monogram menu with a 16 bit 44.1khz wav file for audio.
    Note: Building to an ISO file instead of direct to DVD works fine. I then use imgburn to make the DVD. I'd just prefer it worked without the extra step.

  • Encore CS5 slideshow transitions not rendering reliably to DVD

    I'm trying to create a relatively simple slideshow DVD in Encore CS5 on Mac (10.6).  The slideshow is about 35 images long, and most of the transitions are cross-dissolves.  However, there are exceptions: a couple of the transitions have no effect (ie, snap from one slide to the next).  All of the slides but one are manual advance.
    The problem I'm having is that the cross-dissolve time (most are set to 3 seconds, vs. the default 2) seems to render as a variable length: hit the "next chapter" button on the DVD control, and the transition time might be the requested 3 seconds, but is occasionally zero seconds, or 1 second, or 2 seconds.  I haven't been able to find the rhyme or sense behind this, although I haven't devoted much time to studying it either.  The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
    An additional complication comes from the one autofollow slide in the show: it automatically advances as expected, but at the next manual transition, it cross-dissolves, appears to pop back to the image, then does the cross-dissolve again, finally ending up in the correct slide.
    Due to project deadlines, I've given up trying to make this work in Encore and moved to a different product, but I'd appreciate any feedback on how to do this all correctly next time.

    Many users have problems with Encore slideshows. The major advantage is the manual advance. I don't use them, so have little to offer.
    The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
    I worry that your "set x:xx IN THE PROJECT" means that you have not checked each slide duration. It is possible to have a project setting, but for individual slides to have been set to something else.

  • How do I best compress a multi file project in Encore CS5 to fit a standard DVD?

    Hello,
    I have created a series of small films in Final Cut Pro X, they have been exported as seperate audio and video tracks, ac3 audio and mpeg video from the presets in FCPX.
    I want to use Encore CS5 to create DVDs out of them and I have used it before but only know the basics. The problem is that after I import all the media files, that I want on the first DVD, as assets and put them on the timeline it adds up to 7.23 GB, even though the time is just under 2 hours. I know that that might be pushing it a little bit in regards to the amount of time that I can fit on a regular 4.7 GB DVD, but it should't take up that much space. I removed a bunch of files from the timeline to see what I could fit and only got just under 1 hour. I can see that it is possible to decrease the file sizes, for instance by going to 'file'-'edit quality presets' and doing stuff there, but 'm not sure of the best way to do that.
    In other posts I have seen mentions of encore compressing files to fit automatically, but what i want is a way to fit all the video files, not the audio i guess, to a dvd with minimum quality loss. does anyone know the best way to do this?
    the only thing i can think off is either to use more DVDs than I feel that I should have to, or to burn a 7.23 GB image and then shrink that using soomething like DVD shrink, but that seems unecessary.
    So I have a feeling that there is a smart way to do this and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks. Nik

    hello,
    Firstly: John, if I export as a .mov and then import to Encore and transcode there will that mean that the file will be shrunk with minimum quality loss? because the .mov file i get using a simple movie export is massive.
    below follows my findings and more questions. I suppose I should maybe be moving over to a FCPX & Compressor 4 forum. I think I need to do some studies on Bitrate here.
    I tried the option of automatic transcoding in Encore to fit all files on a DVD and the results weren't terrible, in fact they are almost good enough, but not quite. it's sequences with fast movement that really are affected. So Stan, not much difference.
    the problem is that the footage i am working with is pretty poor quality to start with. I am working with a bunch of Super 8 family films that have been scanned on to DVDs.
    In FCPX a film that is 32 Min Pal SD 25p surround sound keeps coming out way to big. Below are some examples:
    -When I export directly from FCPX as a movie (.mov) with the simple export settings and 'keep current settings' the file ends up being a massive 11.16 GB! With all other setting options the file is also expected to be very big ranging from something like 2.3 GB to 23GB.
    -When I send it to Compressor 4 and choose the 'SD video sharing' option for uploading online it ends up at 1 GB. These are the settings and summary:

    well thanks for the help both of you. it seems that outputting way too big files might be one of the many annoying bugs of FCPX.

  • Kernel panic rendering AVCHD footage in Encore CS5 or CS6

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro running CS6 and 10.8.2. My usual workflow is burning two hour multi-cam live performances to DVD. Usually this is two cameras of DV, one camera of AVCHD, all in a DV timeline.
    Lately I've been trying to burn DV timelines of nothing but AVCHD footage, and somewhere through the rendering process I always get a kernel panic. This happens with different projects, footage from different cameras (I'm using a Panasonic AG-AC130 or HMC40), whether I'm using Encore CS5 or CS6. The projects never finish. It seems to get 50-75% through rendering video before crashing. Rendering these projects on my MacBook Pro work just fine (though much slower). Timelines where it's not 100% AVCHD are still working fine.
    I had began having kernel panics unrelated to Encore, but traced this back to a heat issue. It's an old machine after all. After installing smcFanControl, this problem has gone away. I don't normally burn timelines of nothing but AVCHD, but I'm certain there was a time in the past I was able to burn these without issue. I monitor my system temperature during rendering and I'm somewhat confident that's not what's crashing the system.
    The top part of my latest crash report is listed below. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

    After a not-too-intense Bing search, the particular panic you're getting seems to be an indication of:
    Your Mac Pro is dying.
    Bad drivers in combo with an unforgiving OS.
    I don't have any easy advice for number 1.  If it is still a heat issue, you may need to redo the thermal paste on the CPU and blow the dust out of the heat sink.  If it's a deeper problem than that, some serious repair work up to and including replacement may be required.  Either way, it will be a painful fix.  For number 2, try updating your graphics card drivers (which card do you have?) and/or going back to 10.6.x or Lion 10.7.x and see if things improve.

    EDIT: Although Encore and Premiere Pro have their share of bugs, a lot of times they expose weaknesses in a system because of how much they tax all of the hardware and software. 

  • Adobe Encore CS5.1 producing DVDs with flickering video

    Hey all, new to the forums but been using Adobe software for a couple of years now.
    I've got Encore CS5.1 as part of the Adobe Master Collection CS5.5, and recently I've been using it to burn DVD videos.
    I made a video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 a few weeks ago and rendered it as an mp4 file in h.264 HDTV 24fps (video recorded with my Nikon D3200 D-SLR). I then imported the mp4 file into Encore as an asset (I didn't use Dynamic Link to insert the prproj file into Encore) and burned it onto a 4.7GB DVD (no menus or anything, just a simple DVD) and it looked absolutely fine on both my PC and on the TV and the recipient of the DVD was very happy with the result. The video was 28 minutes long and 6.2GB in size.
    Recently I have been making more videos in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and attempting to burn them onto DVDs using Encore CS5.1, but I've not been having so much luck.
    Whenever I create a DVD with Encore, the video playback is always a bit 'flickery' no matter how I import the video into Encore (have tried using both Dynamic Link and importing the mp4 file as an asset - both result in the same problem). The video playback results in flickering lines and it's really distracting. Again, I am rendering in mp4 h.264 HDTV 24fps and burning onto 4.7GB DVDs. If I watch the video in Encore on the Monitor, it also looks a bit flickery with lines showing. The video I am trying to burn onto a DVD is 25 minutes long and 4GB (but Encore transcodes it so it's just over 1GB in size I think).
    I am also trying to burn another video onto a DVD which again is rendered in h.264 but is 48 minutes and 11GB in size (Encore transcodes it so it's about 2.5GB) and the same thing happens: flickery lines which is really distracting.
    I did briefly have a trial version of CS6 installed and I rendered the video again in Premiere Pro CS6 and tried burning to a DVD using Encore CS6, but still got the same results. I don't have CS6 now, I installed it purely to see if CS5.5 was the problem.
    I don't understand why the first video I burned to DVD using Encore was perfect and now it seems to be giving me flickery video once it's burned to a DVD whenever I use it.
    I have updated it to version 5.1.0.342 which at the time of writing is the latesrt version of CS5.1.
    If anybody out there could help me that would be great, thanks!

    Still flickering on Encore even when rendered in MPEG-2 DVD in Pemiere Pro CS5.5. Looks perfect in Premiere Pro.
    Any other ideas?
    EDIT: Was looking for Google for people with similar problems to me and I came across this http://forums.adobe.com/message/3959757?tstart=0
    I am currently re-rendering the video in PAL DV Widescreen MPEG-2 DVD and using maximum render quality.

    good morning John,
    thanks for your answer
    it confirms the answers i received in the hardware forum
    with the same type of question
    build the project in Encore
    use ImgBurn to burn onto a regular dvd
    i was going to try last night
    but fell asleep from a long week of work
    got the coffee machine already brewing now
    so hopefully it will be a productive day...

  • Mac DVD Superdrive not recognized in Encore CS5

    I'm trying to burn a DVD using Encore CS5 on my new Mac Pro.  I already spoke with Apple to troubleshoot to see if it was the drive.  It was not the drive.  Therefore, there is a problem with Encore not recognizing the drive.  In the destination window in Encore, where it says "Recorder" in the build tab, it says "None Found".  Anyone know what the problem is?

    Well, in the WINDOWS world some software will cause Encore to not be able to "see" a drive, so read the links below... I don't know if the same kind of thing happens in the MAC world

    Again in the Windows world, if the user can't or won't remove the offending software for some reason, the solution is to have Encore build the project to hard disk (folder or create an ISO) and then use 3rd party software to burn the folder or ISO to DVD
    Added
    In fact, just go ahead and tell Encore to write the project to your hard drive and then use other software to write that output to a DVD... if that works, you know that "something" is getting in the way of Encore being able to communicate with your drive

  • Encore CS5.1, Issue burning onto 8.5GB DL DVD using WIndows 7, 64bit

    Is anyone familiar with the inability of Encore CS5.1 to burn 8.5GB dual layer disc using Windows 7, 64bit.  After many failed attempts, it turns out that you need to set Encore as Windows XP compatability in order to get the disc to burn.  Is this just a glitch with Windows 7 + Adobe Encore CS5.1?
    The problem with changes the compatability on Encore is that you lose the dynamic link with Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    Any other suggestions on being able to burn without changing the compatability of Encore?
    btw, 4.7GB DVDs work fine.
    Thanks,
    Gianni (JohnQ)

    To burn dual layer you MUST right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator from the popup window... this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account
    I think you can select to "always" Run as Administrator from that popup window

  • Encore CS5 will Only Burn One DVD At A Time

    Hello All , I am having a problem that I didn't have with CS4 ,If I set CS5 to burn more than one DVD it shows a hardware error after the first one , If I set CS5 to burn one DVD it works every time I only burn at 8X .This is not a major problem because it doesn't take much longer to burn them one at a time
    but it would be nice to know why .
    Regards
    Kevin

    Thank's for your suggestion but I have always set CS4 to burn say 10 DVDs and just change the media when prompted (only 10 days ago) in CS5 this doesn't work only the first one will burn , I am sure there is nothing wrong with my hardware is works flawlessly with all other software.

  • Burnning dual layer dvd Encore CS5.5 errors out.

    Here is the greatest error I have ever seen.
    I got to burn a dual layer dvd transcoded from AVCHD 1080i with fallowing settings.
    Edited footage in PPro and send to Encore via Dynamic link, created dvd project using Mpeg2 with 9mbps, Dolby 192 for Audio.
    File size to be burned on dvd is 5.67gb, aprox 1 hour 10 min transcoded with 9mbps, 720x40 wide screen, audio is 192kbps Dolby.
    There are three menus one is main and tow sceen selection menus, noting fancy everything as default. menus linked as usual nothing fancy and and it is very basic.
    All assets, that used for motion menus and main video is transcoded fine, but when it gets to put dvd together I get this error
    Encore starts organizing videos for disk and after that it gets to this above and thats it. Press ok Build progress box gives fail message and option to Ok it. After pressing Ok button this box goes away to build panel.
    I have tried to change an Automatic layer break to manual still get the same error, I have tried a custom layer break and still get the same error again, I have tried dvd, and an image, and folder for dvd, still the same error there to. I have redone project from scratch and still got the same result.
    However previously I have burned many Dual layer dvds using the same method described, and same settings described, and never had this problem.
    Nothing on the PS was changed except the updates installed regularly.
    Anybody have any Idea what is this all about? Because I just burned 16 Blu Ray discs, and 16 Dual layer discs on one of the project, and next one a day latter this happens.

    I'm having the same problem. not once did it, the encore was automatically break in the case of dual layer dvd. now he does not. I mark the box DUAL LAYER 8.54gb, do DVD disc or image or folder, or change the marking of the layer break from automatic tomanual, and it does not. in the end he always gives the message: duallayer requerid.
    wanted to know how to do this manually break, because even in the manual or here on the website of adobe, has no suchinformation. does not show clearly how to manually break. please if someone can give a help, thank you.
