Encore libraries question

Greetings all:
I have an interesting question...or at least I think it is...after I did a full install of Encore CS4 in my Encore libraries folder all the proper folders appear there for the "canned" templates, except that all the files are .PRTL files or .PRSL files, and these are Premiere Pro files...and I cannot view them in Encore in the Library tab because Encore does not recognize them. I am stuck and would love some help here...in the Encore libraries tab I can use the drop down and see all of the folders that are in the libraries directory...just no "canned" items are listed.

All the questions that Karl are bringing up are exactly the same for me...which is why I originally posted. But I have done a few other things since Bill last posted, but I will start from the beginning and detail where I am now...
1. I first installed from Discs, like Karl...there was no option to choose anything specific to denote templates that would or would not be placed into the install...when I seledcted Encore it simply checked several other boxes in the install that Encore needed to work properly...I selected to install, when install finished I noted that I had no library templates at all.
2. I then did the online update which then enable Encore "Resource Central", but still no templates were displayed. I looked at several posts on the forums and found that the folder path should be "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS4"...there was no such folder path. I then went to Resource central and downloaded several of the online templates...then looked for the above listed directory path, and it still did not exist...I assume they place the "Resource Central" templates in a different place (probably username area).
3. I went back and re-installed Encore from the disc...and did checked the templates...and something weird happened...it appeared to have the complete library structure that was necessary, I was excited...however that was quickly dispelled when I looked in those template folders under the Encore directory Library I quickly noticed that they were all Premiere Pro templates...how the heck that happened I will never know. I then posted here again about this and Bill was in the process of responding to that.
4. I then went back and uninstalled everything...used the clean up utility from Adobe, rebooted, and then reinstalled from scratch. Again, I was never able to select any install box that would denote templates, when I selected the Encore choice it automatically selected several other necessary files for that install to properly happen. I again allowed it to installed and checked Encore...no luck, the library structure was no longer there, just like in step 1...and after the online update, there were still no templates.
So, now, I am completely frustrated, because I have no way to determine how to load these templates from the disc. I have searched everyplace on the disc and nowhere does it allow me to install extra Encore content. I have searched every .EXE file to see if it indicates how to get this...I am stumped...and at this point perhaps someone could just post the templates somewhere so I can get them...no harm in doing this because you cannot use them unless you have the product, and if you have the product you should have these templates...I just dont and I dont know what to do now????

  • Encore Flash Questions

    These questions relate specifically to CS3.
    1) Is there any way to select what skin to use when creating a flash file in encore? You used to be able to do this quite easily using premiere/encore in CS2. Is there are way to change the default setting, or do I have the shell out the extra money to buy a copy of flash? (seems kinda silly if I don't need to use action script or anything).
    2) I understand that encore's export to flash doesn't include any subtitle tracks that may be in the timeline. Has anyone found a (semi-automated) work around for this? Is there some way to export the track to premiere so it's rasterized with the rest of the video?
    Thanks for your time.

    1. Encore didn't offer export to Flash before CS3. You might be able to alter the playback skin of the SWF in Flash, though.
    2. I have not tried it, but you may be able to export to DVD from Encore, then use the DVD features in AutoGK to strip the VTS with subtitles from the disc, and create a Xvid AVI with burned in subtitles that you may be able to import into Encore or Premiere CS3.

  • Itunes multiple libraries question, Help!!

    first all thanks for any help that is provided....
    my situation is this:
    i have a MBP w/ an 80 gb HD. i have about 80-100 GB of videos and another 30GB of music that i would like to be able to store on my Apple tv and Ipod. i first tried using an external HD to store it all, but ITunes would change my music folder path on me.
    so then i found out about multiple libraries, my question is this:
    Can an ipod be synced to multiple libraries that are all on the same computer?
    or anyone have any suggestions on how i can do this?

    Hey acrahm,
    The iPods that support Manually manage mode can sync with multiple libraries.

  • I want to set up an iPod for my dad... (Multiple Libraries Question)

    My dad has a early Shuffle (back when HP made 'em), and has grown tired of no screen and all. Being technologically deficient as he is, I was going to give him my old iPod Video for Father's Day (since I'm getting the iPhone, hopefully), and have it loaded full of stuff.
    If I use that Multiple Libraries deal, I can make a library for him, with his taste in music (that I want to stay far away from my library), and it won't affect my library at all, right? Max, I'd go into this library once a month, while I use my library every other day.

    It is possible to have multiple libraries in a single account and use each one for a different iPod without affecting the other. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library but if you are only going to update your Dad's iPod periodically this shouldn't be an issue:

  • Conversion Agent - EDIFACT Libraries Question

    Hi Everyone,
    I hope someone can assist. I am using conversion agent 8.5 and using EDIFACT library withvalidations. As per the standard documentation this library can do certain validations however when i try to run it, it is not doing those validations. Secondly for some of the validations e.g. Sender Number, Receiver Number I would have to specify these details somewhere within conversion agent where it can go and have a look however I can't find that also.
    Can someone please assist on this?
    regards

    Hi Jag,
    Thank you for the help however i guess by now you would have realized that this approach is not going to work
    regards
    Hi Guys,
    Any conversion agent expert can please help shed some light on the issue at hand please? The whole purpose of these withvalidations libraries is to do validations however for some reason they are not working e.g. UNT segment should validate the count of segments is corrects I give it wrong number just to test and it still doesn't pick it up (this was one example) but the stand library release note says it does validate. Any suggestions please? or directions?

  • Adobe Encore AC3 question

    Does anyone have any experience with Adobe's AC3 encoder - is it comparable to Apcak in terms of normalizing and mastering audio tracks...thanks.

    Maskio.
    What did you use to create the AC3 files?
    I use this all the time - as in on a daily basis - in EncoreDVD and have no trouble at all playing back the imported Dolby Digital files.
    There are 2 things that instantly leap to mind here:
    1 - Non compliant AC3 files, created with garbage like BeSweet or similar.
    2 - Conflicting filters installed to your system, for example the "AC3filter" being set up incorrectly.
    My guess is that you have one of these problems - or both.
    DTS audio is supported in passthrough mode. This is made clear in the manuals, and the Audio has to be prepared outside of Encore - or you cannot check the encodes.
    Checking for Audio/Video sync should be a simple matter - and is NOT something that should be done using EncoreDVD - it should be done in the POST process. This is the usual way that authoring applications work.

  • Encore DVD 2.0 and Vista?,.....and Encore CS3 questions

    Encore dvd 2.0....are you guys going to continue to support this and make a patch for it to run under Vista? if so where can I find it? Kind of bad to buy a product and the company drops support on it immediately after purchase and it won't run on the operating system....
    Also is/will there be and upgrade to encore dvd 2.0?
    I know that you have Encore cs3, is that the upgrade to encore 2.0? and will you be selling Encore CS3, separate from Premiere? I need nothing in Premiere and want the Encore dvd and for it to run with Vista. Please have an option to buy just the Encore CS3 without having to buy premiere and stuff that I don't need because if that is the case then I will not be buying Adobe products anymore. I won't be forced to purchase extra software I have no need for in order to get the one program that I want...it is not worth it..easier to change to a different company for that product...just asking...and if you care about your customers, you might at least listen and consider what I have requested..thanks..t

    >chances of them selling encore cs3 in the future separate?
    Since their entire marketing push seems to be the bundling of the 2 products, I would say "slim to none"
    >hurry and buy encore 2.o
    The least expensive way to get Encore 3 is to buy Premiere Pro 2 right NOW and get a free upgrade to Pro3+Encore3 when it is released
    If you have any previous version of Premiere, you may even buy Pro2 for the upgrade price and receive the free upgrade to the version 3 duo

  • Executables and indirect shared libraries question

    Hello all !
    On Linux when you compile a shared library you do not have to specify indirect library dependencies at link time.
    But what about executables : do you have to specify all the libraries direct and indirect at link time ?
    Is dlopen the only solution to by-pass such restriction ?
    Thank you very much for your help !

  • "Play" on remote vs. "Enter" - Simple Encore Menu Question

    Hi All,
    I haven't been able to find a good answer to this question as of yet, so I am hoping someone has a clear answer!  I am creating one of the simplest menus possible for my project.  It is composed of a screen capture from my timeline as the background image and a text button which is the name of the short film and acts as the "Play" button.  My project is only one timeline, so nothing complicated.  I am able to make the video play from the menu when I use the remote and physically push the "enter" button, but I would like it to play whether I push the "enter" button OR the physical "play" button on the remote.  I can't understand why pushing play on the remote wouldn't count as using the button?
    Thank you for your time, and if there is any solution or work around, this would be great!  Some of the people who watch my videos don't understand the difference between "enter" and "play" and then the whole thing feels much less professional.
    Thank you!

    I'm having this same issue.
    I have a single menu with one item that is going to play one timeline of video.
    I'd like to have it set up where the user presses play or enter and the video plays.
    I'm not able to do that. I haven't enabled any overrides. Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks so much.

  • Loading different versions of Linux native libraries - question

    I need to package libXm.so, libXm.so.2 and libXm.so.2.1 for a JWS application.
    Q: How do I use System.loadLibrary() to load libXm.so.2 and libXm.so.2.1 from within a JWS application?
    System.loadLibrary("Xm"); // loads libXm.so from root of JAR file.
    �yvind

    I dont like this either - its a last resort really :)The whole System.loadLibrary()/nativelib business is a bit ...
    I'm loading a library that might pull in libXm.so, libXm.so.2 or libXm.so.2.1. I don't have a way of telling which.
    AFAICT, I need to load all three of them. Thats 2MB/library.
    Hopefully loading libXm.so.* that are not used is at least harmless.
    I'm left with the feeling that although this might work, it is not the way it is intended to be done.

  • Encore CS5.5 Libraries - same, better than CS4?

    Hey folks - just wondering whether Encore CS5.5 includes all the libraries we got in CS4. I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and I'm running Prod Premium CS4 now. I just got the CS5.5 Prod Prem in the mail yesterday but I haven't installed it yet. My plan is to uninstall CS4 first since I don't anticipate needing it. But I am wondering about the Encore libraries.
    Is there any reason to keep the CS4 libraries installed?
    I ask because CS4 Prod Prem came with 4 disks + a Content Disk + a Learning Disk. CS5.5 includes just 4 disks total.
    guess I'll find out when I install CS5.5, but I plan to uninstall CS4 first. So I wondered whether I should keep anything from CS4 on my machine.
    Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
    And Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

    I installed CS5 only on my new machine when I made the double upgrade (PC and CS5). I left CS3 and CS4 installed on my other machine. I find it handy, but primarily for testing questions other users have. I always use CS5 for work.
    There have been a few issues where a bug is introduced and users say it helped to have CS4 as a workaround.
    But if I were doing what you are doing today for a production only machine, I wouldn't bother to uninstall CS4. But I might pick that moment for a fresh install of Windows, in which case I would not install CS4.
    I think Adobe had a strong recommendation not to install CS4 over CS5 (which you are not planning).
    Once upon a time, the Encore libraries were apparently "extra" and installed from a disk called "functional content." The CS4 and CS5 functional content disk is NOT such content. When you install from disks, you automatically install the Encore libraries.
    I can't compare CS4 and CS5 directly, but the Encore Library folder for CS3, CS4, and CS5 has files/folders respectively 1316/20, 1318/20, 1316/20. A "quick contents" compare in winmerge between CS3 and CS4 had only 4 differences (for example, CS3 used a mov and CS4 m2v for one of the motion menus).
    The interesting (non)difference is that they do not appear to ahve changed the par of the menus form the pre-CS4 days. If you open any of the menus directly in Photoshop, it says the par appears to be incorrect and asks if you want to correct it. (I say no.) If you use "edit in photoshop" from Encore, CS4 and CS5 does not ask (it is obviously  making the correction, probably upon import to Encore). Encore CS3 makes no such adjustment.
    What this means to me is the the Encore library menus are the old menus with the old pars. It doesn't matter much; there would be only a bit of distortion. I haven't tested to see if there is any. But for me it is evidence that the menus in CS5 are the same ones from at least CS3.
    That said, you can simply copy the library folder to another location until you determine whether you need it.

  • Adobe Encore Menu Buttons

    I have a menu that works find when I preview in on my pc.  it highlights the buttons and when I press play it plays the linked video.
    I build the project and then burn the dvd, I put it in my dvd player and the menu opens up but when I click the arrows on the remote I do not see any
    highlighted buttons.  It must be moving because if I het play it plays different sections,  I just can not tell what menu button it will play because I do not see the highlights.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I just Sat here for 5 hours trying different things and still no luck

    On my preview my buttons worked.  I do know that for something to be a

  • How to consolidate iTunes from MAC & PC on to a NAS box?

    === Background ===
    I've got 2 MACs & 2 PCs (WinXP) and I want to get the iTunes data consolidated to the network.
    I've got iTunes data (including purchased songs) on both MACs and 1 PC.
    MACs have iTunes 8.02. PC has iTunes 7.4.3.1 (but I can upgrade if that helps).
    All purchased songs have DRM and were bought using the same Apple ID.
    All the machines are on the same 10/100 network.
    I have a NAS box (BuffaloTech) that can be viewed from each machine.
    === Challenge ===
    I'd like to move all the iTunes content to the NAS box so that:
    - all songs/playlists, etc are in 1 place
    - I can use iTunes on any machine MAC/PC to see/play the same libraries
    - I can use iTunes from any machine to buy/add more songs to the libraries
    === Questions ===
    How hard is all this?
    Does the answer get more complex if some of the MACs have multiple accounts?
    I'd like each account to be able to see all the songs.
    I've read about moving iTunes to an external drive. I figure I can use the same process
    to move iTunes from one machine to the NAS. I wasn't able to see much about merger the other iTunes libraries in with the first. Should I do this through my iPhone/USB rather than through the network 10/100?
    Once I have the iTunes setup/consolidated on the NAS, how to I get the iTunes on each machine
    to use the data on the NAS. Will I run into issues (e.g. file locking) when more than one machine uses the iTunes database at the same time?
    What should I watch out for?
    Any recommendations regarding this sort of configuration?
    Thanks for any advice,
    -Dave

    Hey u2sweetestallie,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. If your backup drive (in your example, drive A) included the iTunes Library files, you can open the library by following these steps:

  • DVD playback issue with Windows Media Player

    Hi,
    This isn't an Encore specific question, rather, a DVD playback one. Has anyone had issue playing their replicated DVDs in Windows Media Player? I truly believe it's the media player, not the DVD.  When we put a DVD in the drive and try to open it in WMP, it jumps right to a video, or jumps directly to the last place we were in a video.... it's not defaulting to the main menu.
    Has anyone experienced this? Is it a programming glitch on my DVD? I feel like it's a WMP issue, as it's only happening on certain computers.
    thanks.

    WMP has never been a good player for DVD's. At some point in the past, much of that functionality was disabled my MS, in hopes to reduce piracy. For some versions, no burned DVD would even play, though replicated/pressed DVD's were supposed to play fine.
    I use CyberLink's PowerDVD and it is fine, even with my burned DVD's. The free MediaPlayer Classic HC plays my discs well too, with full menuing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do i import pictures from my old iMac directly to my new iMac using iPhoto?

    Hello! I have just got a new iMac and I am struggling with Migration Assistant to transfer data from my old iMac to the new one
    I have tried to follow the standard procedure with firewire cable without luck
    I am now desperately trying to find a smart way to import pictures stored in the old iPhoto (old iMac) to the new iPhoto in the new iMac
    can anyone help??
    Thanks a lot
    Valentina

    thanks a lot for your tips, which unfortunately I am not able to follow as I currently stand
    here is what happened, this morning when i started the new iMac I realized that i had in fact managed to complete the migration
    upon start-up, the new iMac gave me the option to choose whether to log-in as the old Me (i.e. previous account in old iMac) or the new me
    If choosing the old, I can access my old iPhoto and iTunes material
    If I log-in as the new me, I am in the new iMac and do not know how to access neither iPhoto nor iTunes libraries
    Question 1: Is there a way to access both libraries (iPhoto and iTunes) logging-in using the new credentials?
    Eventually I would love to get rid of this double users accounts as I do not find it too convenient, I would rather consolidate the important data (i.e. pictures and music) in the new account
    Question 2: Alternatively, if I were to follow the tip you gave me and forget about the migration altogether, can you help me locate the iPhoto library in the old iMac so that I can drag it as a single entity from the old Mac? could you also explain what I need to do to move it to the pictures folder of the new iMac?
    Thanks so much for helping, pls consider me as a very basic Apple user, I appreciate you making it very easy for me to understand, do not give a lot of details for granted as I do not know a lot of stuff (for ex, I would not know where to start to "drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac")
    hope you can help, make my day!
