Encore CS5 Menu Problems

Allow me to begin by saying thank you in advance for any and all help. Please know I am a marine biologist first and a video editor second so I'll apologize for my elementary questions.
2011 macbook pro, 8gb ram, all working files (connected assets) are on the hard drive, Panasonic BD burner connected firewire 800, Encore CS5
This is a blu-ray project.
I have created a movie that has only 2 menus. The main menu and a chapter selction menu.
The menus have a video file playing in the background with text generated from the video editor appearing 10 seconds in. This menu is very basic...video background with 3 buttons overlayed on top placed where the text appears. Of these buttons, one plays the main movie, another plays a behind the scenes, and the last directs the user to the chapter selection menu.
The video files for the menu background were transcoded in Media Manager to Blu-ray h.264 and imported assets as .m4v video and .ac3 audio.
The actual movie files are also imported in this same manner and are working fine.
Preview works fine except where indicated below in the form of the background video being in poor quality.
Problem:
When the disc is inserted into a blu-ray player, the main menu background video looks worse than standard def videos. At the loop point set for the buttons to "appear and activate" (10sec) the video freezes, screen turns black for just a split second (literally, split second) then re-appears normally with all buttons working fine, the video plays accordingly but is still in bad quality. The buttons work as supposed to and the movies they're connected to are brilliantly played in blu-ray quality without any problems.
On the chapter selection menu, the same applys to the background video where it plays in poor quality but the problem here is again at the loop point but has a different action. At the time of the loop point (again 10sec) the video stops, then jumps back to the beginning of the Chapter menu and starts over again. It does this over and over, never allowing me to get to the buttons for chapter selection. It just loops back to the beginning of the same menu. The only way to stop this is to press the main menu button on the remote to get back to the main menu.
So...2 things:
1) howcome the background videos in the menus are in bad quality? Do know in the preview, the background videos are in the good quality sometimes. In other words, when I press the preview, sometimes the videos are shown in good quality, and sometimes they're not. I onced "fixed" it when it previewed in poor quality by disconnecting the wip to the asset, then reconnecting it. It played fine in the preview once but then the next time I previewed it, it was in poor quality.
2) why are there 2 different glitches at the loop points on the menus. Both menus are identical in properties, not in asset connections. As a matter of fact, the chapter menu was created by copy/pasting the main menu, changing the assets, and using more buttons (these buttons were also copy/paste from the main menu buttons but have different links). Also know that in preview, the loop points work just fine and the buttons appear without a problem, but the video quality is diminished as with the main menu.
2 Burn processes tried and have identical problems:
I created discs using 2 methods and the problems are identical in both. I burned a blu-ray disc directly from Encore which exhibited these problems. I also made a folder and burned the BDMV file in Toast Titanium Pro 10 and also have these same identcal problems. I did make an .iso file also, but don't know how to test that on a blu-ray disc. I am using BD-RE discs so that I don't waste a lot of money.
Please help. I am in crunch time and have less than 2 weeks to complete this and get 100 discs burned.
Thank you again for reading this and for any and all help.
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
about loop point frezees (black video), no way out, sorry: this is an Encore CS5 bug and we all are waiting for the brand new CS5.5.
Jon Jeddes has tried to find a solution with other sws support but he met lot of difficulties.
About your low definition results, it could depend by many things.
Don't know Media Manager, but, usually, low definitions are related to low bitrates (check yours are at least 25 Mb per second).
Hope this will help.
Ciao

Menu problem with IE

menu problems with IE connected with spry - see site:
1.
http://www.whatwomenwant-tv.com/index.html
(horizontal menu bar - will not display fully, probably to do with
flash)
2.
http://www.whatwomenwant-tv.com/about.html
(horizontal menu bar swerves to the left)
3.
http://www.whatwomenwant-tv.com/streetinterviewswomen.html
(vertical menu bars in questions are all over the page)
thanks 4 help.

I tried in Firefox 3 and IE7 and they both seemed fairly slow
for any action to take place. But IE7 did seem pretty slugish.
It seems that you're already determined what the issue is,
you have waaaaaay too many menu items. Seems to me that that number
of items don't belong in a menu. There are even menus that are too
long to appear entirely on the page, so they can't be easily
accessed without accidentally hiding the menus again, which I did
several times. IN particular:
Cartuchos > Technologica
If you cannot change to a different format to show all of the
items, then perhaps you can split up the menu so that you don't
have too many at one time. I checked the code of your page and it
seems that you've got a lot of other scripting going on there
besides Spry, so is the issue with Spry or with everything else
you're trying to do with that menu. If you can try to recreate the
page with only the menu items on it (and not pulled in dynamically
on the fly), and then add back to your page a bit a time, you might
be able to find out what is really causing the delays.

You might need a #

Sudden menu problem in CS4: Running OS10 Mavericks. Anyone got a clue?

Cannot keep history and layers windows open simultaneously. Others likewise. By sudden I mean, one day it's fine, the next there's a menu problem. Assistance appreciated.

If you have placed your layout the way you want it, use the Save Workspace, give it a name, and only check Palette location in the Save dialog.
Then switch to another Workspace and back to your saved workspace to see if that fixes the problem.
Last resort is to reset Prefs. Hold down ctrl-alt-shift, start Photoshop and agree to the reset.

Spry menu problem - CS6 Dreamweaver

I wonder if anyone can help me with my spry menu problem which I have with a fixed 960px wide horizonal menu bar that has 8 items in it. The sub-menus don't seem to display properly when you click on them in that some of the submenus only show up at the end of the menu bar itself in Explorer browsers 8/9. Does anyone know of any code I can apply to fix this problem? I am new to spry menu features and so any help would be very much appreciated.

Also validate the rest of the code in your pages to see if you have any critical errors that need fixing. For example, a missing doc type declaration might explain Spry failures.
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
As an FYI, Adobe abandonded the Spry Framework late last year, after CS6 was released because Spry drop-menus don't hold up well on touch screen devices. If you can't get satisfaction with Spry, try jQuery Superfish. It's a better menu system.

Adobe Encore CS6 loading problem

Every time i leave my app and come right back into working on my project, a few seconds in my cursors gives me the apple loading symbol. Why does this happen? it slows down the process so much. As long as im in the app working theres no problem but the second i leave the program and come back to work it gives me the loading symbol again. Its becoming a annoyance.
I use a mac osx 10.8.4 procesor 2ghz intel core i7 with 8gb of ram
im able to do all my video editing and photo editing fine except with adobe encore (loading cursor problem)

I would first look at Encore Edit -> Preferences -> Memory. May be swapping out memory. 8 Gig RAM is not all that much.

Help Me with Encore CS6 Menu and buttons

Hi I need help with Encore CS6 Menu's. I have a Premiere CSs 6 video which is 3 hours long and 21 chapters. It looks like I can get 18 of the buttons to work. I also want to set up a exit button. Is there a 18 button limit to a menu? Should I be looking at using menu index's or play lists?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ed

I assume you have a single video on one timeline, and you have chapter markers for your chapters.
A button (e.g. "play movie") links to the timeline (default is chapter one, which is what you want). The end action of the timeline is "last menu."
Commonly, a second button on the main menu goes to a chapters menu. Each chapter menu has links back to the main menu and to the next and previous chapter menus.
For EACH chapter, you create a chapter playlist with that one chapter in it. The end action of the chapter play list is "return to last menu."
There are no end actions on chapters and no overrides anywhere in the project using this method.

Spry Horizontal Menu Problem

I switched to version 2 of the Spry Menubar due to sub-menu problems associated with iPads. Now I am having problems with sub-menus within IE8. It is not possible to *quickly* scroll down the menu without the sub-menu disappearing. Here is an example:
http://gerberanalytics.com/tennis/tennis_header_test.php
It works ok with CS6 in the design view, but not on the local test server or on the production server. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Gramps,
I appreciate you providing this. I took a closer look at the errors and I made a few changes but this validator service continued to kick out errors. In fact if you put Adobe's own web site into this application (http://www.adobe.com), it comes up with 44 errors. As I mentioned before, the Adobe Widget Browser application for Spry Menubar 2 is essentially creating my code so I doubted that this was an actual problem.
While I have been interacting with you, I have also been awaiting an update from Adobe's senior technology staff for a solution. I heard from them today. Here is what Adobe said: Spry Menubar 2 has problems with IE 8 and IE 9 (which I already knew). The first person with whom I spoke at Adobe suggested that my customers running the IE 8 and IE 9 browsers should switch to a different browser, such as Chrome. I explained that asking users to switch was not a solution -- that's about 35% of my users. I then asked to speak with a manager / supervisor.
My conversation with the supervisor went a bit better. He told me that those running IE 8 and IE 9 on a Windows XP machine are ok. Vista is a problem. Windows 7 is also iffy. My machine is a Vista and my wife's machine is a Windows 7. It does not work on either machine for us.
I told him that Spry Menubar 2 should be withdrawn from their site or there should be a warning to insure that people are aware of the problems. He didn't say that they would do that. He suggested that I should check back with him in a couple of weeks. I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling that this was a priority item for them.
At this point, I'm bailing on Spry Menubar 2. I may return to Spry Menubar 1.6 which requires a "double tap" on the nav buttons to work on an iPad. I may also check out jQuery.
Thanks for the suggestions but it looks like Adobe has some serious issues. If your customers are using iPads (and they are), Spry Menubar 2 is not a solution to fix the problems encountered in Spry 1.4 and Spry 1.6.

CS5 Encore Animated Menu Rendering Problem

Anybody who could help! I am still experimenting but haven't find the solution (either very simple, or a serious bug ). Here is the problem: If I do any edit on the menu after setting the poster frames and/or inserting a motion (avi) or still (wav) background and re-render the menu, it plays the audio but shows the highlights only on a black background. Before rendering, all the (non-moving) background and/or the button pictures can be seen. For a simple experiment, I use the "NTSC Blank Menu" from the "General" Set in the Library panel with the "Drive-in Video Button". My only solution at this point is to start from the beginning with the Blank Menu and copy everything from the non-functioning menu, and insert the background and/or the button pictures (via the poster frame selection), but do not touch anything at this point, and render it, it works as it supposed to. I checked the layers in Photoshop and there is no difference between the functioning and non-functioning menu layer sets. (It points to the animation part as a possible culprit in Encore.) Also, I couldn't find any way to just remove/reinsert the background/button pictures and make it work. This might even be a quirk only with this menu? I would greatly appreciate any suggestion. - Laci.

Hi LaciG,
I just encountered the same problem tonight. So I knew exactly what you were refering to. I tried several approaches to work around this issue including erasing the motion menu background source file and re-importing in and starting the menu from scratch again and neither worked. Eventually I did find a work around here it goes: First I erased the buggy menu and motion menu source file (AVI). Next I copied the whole Encore project file and renamed it. Then I copied and renamed the avi file I used as the motion menu. After this I went in and used the template menu I originally used but renamed it in the asset list. Like you said when ever you mess with the menu like changing the chapter timeline poster or such, it messes up the render. So I made sure everything was the way it needed to be then added the AVI to the motion menu. I re-rendered and it worked. I know this is convoluted but it works, I guess this a good start but I may work on finding out what specific step it was in the process that did it. I had a similar problem in CS4 but could never figure out how to fix it and now that I have Windows 7 using CS4 Encore was a nightmare so I switched to CS5 and ran into the same bug as you. Well I hope this helps

Encore CS4 Menu Loop & Title Button Problems

Unable to find this issue in an existing thread.
Root/first-play menu is motion and set to infinite loop. Sometimes it will loop and sometimes it will just jump to some other timeline after the first pass. There seems to be some kind of interaction with the title button. The title button is linked to the root menu. If the motion menu fails to loop, it will instead, jump to the place in a timeline where the title button was last pushed after the first pass. If the title button has never been used, then it just starts at the beginning of another timeline (consistent for each DVD build, but can vary will different builds)
I have gone over and over all the menu and link settings and cannot find anything missing or wrong. The problem is independent of media, record speed, or player. If I play in my PC, it will not loop, but just jump off to another timeline after the first pass. Everything works as expected in Encore simulation (preview). The DVD has 2 sub-menus and 4 timelines.
The title button is also acting strange. If you press title a second time before entering a timeline, it will go back to where you were in the timeline when you pressed it the first time. Press it again and it will go the expected root menu & button.
Alan

Sorry you didn't get a response to this question before now. It is an odd problem, and I don't see that you are doing something wrong that leads to an answer.
I would double check to be certain that no overrides are set anywhere (accidentally or otherwise).
The last time I recall a problem where things were just odd, there was a simple error that none of us thought of.
I would troubleshoot by doing a save as, and then removing elements one at a time, or creating a new project, and adding elements one at a time.

Encore CS6: I have to click under a button for it to work. Button/Menu Problems

I have created a menu with adobe encore cs6 and photoshop. everything seems to be in the right place but when i preview the menu, some buttons are the way i made them but others i have to click below the image for it to work. I do not know what other information you will need.

From Encore, right click the menu and "edit in Photoshop." Look at each button group and make sure that every layer is positioned correctly.
If that doesn't show you the problem, in Encore in the menu viewer, click the "show routing" button. Then give us a screenshot. (That is the simplest way I know to show the bounding boxes of all the buttons.)
Let us know if you get it sorted!

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.

Menu problems in Encore

Hi,
I am new to this forum and I dont know my way arround.
I created 35 buttons in 2 seperate sub menus(18 buttons on first page and 17 on a second page). Everything works fine except I canot access the LAST buttonn on the 2 pages. Buttons 1 - 16 works fine but canot access button 17. Same thing for the 2nd page buttons 19 - 34 works good but but cannot access button 35. If I let the video linked to button 16 or 24 play, at the end of these chapters, the video will continue and play the info linked to button 17 and 34.
Can anybody help me?

Welcome to the forum.
I assume that you are doing Widescreen Menus. Is that correct?
[Edit] - the max. number of Buttons on a Widescreen Menu is 18, so you should be OK there. Now, that is ALL Buttons, and not just Chapter Buttons, so Main Menu, Back, Forward, etc. count too.
Are all of your Buttons showing completely on the DVD?
Good luck,
Hunt

Encore CS4 Root menu problem

Heya peeps,
On my main menu (the first one that appears when a dvd is inserted after a quick animation) if i click the button to start the movie and then press root menu the player takes me back to the main menu. However when i goto scene selection for the same movie (the scene selection menu is accessed via a button on the main menu) and choose a chapter then i press root menu it takes me back to the chapter menu. i want root menu to goto the main menu after choosing a chapter from the scene selection menu. please help

m1n1g33k wrote:
i assume then u cannot change the title link for the movie? as in set it to goto the chapter page it was played from
Sure you can.
Go to the Build tab, or go to the Flowchart tab and select the disc icon. The Properties panel for the disc will become available and you can set the Title remote function from there.
