Encore question - @Bill

Sorry guys ...need a quick answer please and I see Bill is in the house..
How do I make a DVD Loop. (Never done it previously except in Encore 2 out of CS2 where the option was right up front)
I am in Encore CS3 at the moment

OK, offer 'em a glass of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, and charge my account. You want to burn at less than max, regardless of how many folk are in the next room. I probably go a tad overboard here, choosing speeds like 2.4x, but a moment (and that is really all it is) in the burner can make a difference in playability. And, as you know, so can the choice of the blank media - Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden have NEVER let me down with now right at 2K discs delivered. Don't use those Aussie Memorex counterfeits... Now, I know that no good citizen of NZ would counterfeit anything.
Good luck,
Hunt

PP2 to Encore Questions (Several Subjects)

I am getting close to wrapping up a 1.5 hr. project in PP2, that will go to EncoreDVD2. I posted a similar thread to the PP2 Forum, to get ideas on how best to get my material out of PP2 and into Encore. Got a lot of good ones, plus a few warnings, that I am taking to heart. If you saw the similar post there, this is about the same, but to get ideas/help for the Encore part of the project. Also, since this covers Assets, Import/Export, Menus, etc., I posted it the general area of the forum. Hope that this is not a problem.
Ive done several projects of this length, or longer, in PP2 and burned a few directly to DVD from PP2, but usually Export as AVI, Import into EncoreDVD and do the authoring and burning from there. To date, I have not done any other form of Export, say discrete audio/video streams, etc.
This Project has 15 Sequences, ranging from 04:00' up to 15:00' and Dolby 5.1 Master (Minnitonka SurCode plugin) for each. I plan on doing Chapters from the 15 Sequences in EncoreDVD, plus a Play All, and probably some other navigation tools - nothing really fancy. Sequence 01 will be a Play First, going to a Main Menu (see below), from which one can select Play All, or go to Scene Selection Menus. One of the warnings from the PP2 Forum was about my Dolby 5.1 audio. I had forgotten that Encore will convert it to stereo, unless I Export each one as a WMA file. After all of the work getting the placement of my Audio Tracks, just right, Id hate to loose that.
Recommendations were made about whether to Transcode to MPG in PP2 (separate A/V files), or to Export via AVI (again, separate A/V files), and letting Encore do the Transcode. I plan on testing the two Export methods, to see which one yields the best quality. All audio editing will be done in PP2 & Audition and complete there. Other than the 15 Sequences, the only EncoreDVD assets will be audio & video, and the various elements for the Menus, plus short audio for each. Ive been reassured that the encoding engines in the two programs are the same. I do not anticipate having any problems with fitting the finished material onto DVD, but could use DL, if necessary. I also believe that I will be well within the 1GB limit on the Menus. The only output will be to DVD for set-top players, no ROM content, no computer play, etc. It is just the final step in the process (in EncoreDVD) workflow, that I am asking about.
Now my questions: Any thoughts, suggestions, caveats? Id like to let Encore fit the project to DVD, either +R, or DL, but can do the bitrate calculations for the AV aspects. One thing has me puzzled, though, how do I calculate the Menu assets used, to get the best bitrate under 7? There will also be short audio for the Main & Scene Selection Menus. In PP2, all Im dealing with is the time and bitrate, and can do that. However, there is still the matter of the Menus and their few assets.
Also, I plan on having a Motion Menu for my Main Menu. It will basically be a chalk board, onto which the title of the film will be written. Then the buttons and other nav. items will appear, but just be artwork/static. This will be replaced by the real menu, that will identical to the final look of the first one. Reading this forum, it appears that I need to do at least two, nearly identical menus. One, the blank chalkboard, then the animation of the chalk writing (thinking of doing this via PS Layers), which will just be each complete letter appearing, not drawn in. Now, the nav. items would fade in, but not be workable on this image. At this point, it would go to the real menu, with the chalk writing in place and all of the buttons, etc. active. I assume that I would set up my Flowchart, as Sequence 01 Play First, and link it to my faux-menu, animating the writing, etc. Link that to my real Main Menu, linking the various buttons, i.e. Play All to my Playlist, and the others to my Selection Menus, which would then have the various Sequences linked normally. D

>One thing has me puzzled, though, how do I calculate the Menu assets used, to get the best bitrate under 7?
That's the beauty of Encore's Automatic transcode function. It accounts for all your assets - menus, motion buttons, audio, etc. - to make the video assets fit onto the selected DVD size at the best possible bitrate.

CS4 Premier Pro Dynamic Link to Encore Question

I have DL'ed (Dynamic Linked) a project in PP CS4 to Encore CS4 and it worked just fine except that in the sequence in PP CS4 I edited some of the audio tracks with render and replace using Sooundbooth CS4. The audio effects I added in Soundbooth CS4 played back as encoded in PP CS4 on the time line but not in the final product from Encore.
What would have caused this? Can added effects in Soundbooth be DL to Encore CS4 or do I have to render out in PP CS4 then pull the assets to Encore?
Much thanks in advance for assistance.

I don't believe that any of the effects I wanted to apply in SB were
actually applied but there are other cuts and edits I would not want to
loose by re-applying the clips to the timeline. Are you saying that the
edits would remain in tact and that theoriginal video and audio with
edits would be replace? Also, you should know that some of the final SB
effects that I added (which were not added to the audio clips) contained
other SB effects that were retain and had to do with filtering noise and
very lager gain adjustments which I would NOT want to loose just to
recover the more subtle effects lost in the last SB effects I wanted to add.
So my concerning is replacing what is on the time line now with raw
files in the project panel.
Does that help in explaining my concerns?
Thanks again!!

Random encore question

Why did Adobe choose loop playback numbers 2, 3, 17, 20, 40, 128, 1024 (excluding "none" and "forever") in Encore? There has to be a reason for choosing those numbers.

Yes, inquiring minds want to know....
And it might be Sonic/Roxio that had the reason.
But, in the end, you select OR TYPE your own value. So it won't matter.

Exporting video from Premiere 2 Encore... change video in Premiere... Encore does not reflect change

Hi everyone,
I have a good question, hopefully it's a Premiere question, but it's also an Encore question.
First off, I have my video project, simple segments of video, that I've added to my timeline, and I've added a simple
title to the whole thing ( entire length of videos )
So far so good.
So what I did was export the project to Encore, where it loaded fine, and in Encore I worked on making a simple DVD menu for the movie.
I did about 2 hours on the DVD menu, and then saved the Encore project.
.... then I realized that the video project in Premiere needed some tweeking, so I went back and did that. I saved the Premiere project
and now I'm stumped as what to do next.
After I saved the newly tweeked Premiere project, I exported it to Encore, and of course, as I knew it would happen, Encore opened up
a new project with none of my menu system I had made for the DVD. Argh, now I'm very disappointed..... HOW would I go about getting
the DVD menu to work with the newly tweeked Premiere project ?
I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, and that there is indeed a way to fix this. I'm really really hoping so.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Dave.

Hi Dave, To be honest Colin's way is the correct way to do it and it has worked so you should probably do it that way. I just like to
take the full control back so if I do make changes I like to give it another version number and then match that version number in my
new saved Encore project taken from the original. It is also the very last thing I do as well so I just find that workflow means I
control every asset and version but no doubt about it Colin's way is the correct method and the one that allows all
changes within Adobe to reflect through. Cheers, Steve.

Question on Premiere Forum Structure

Now that the Premiere forums have been restructured, I have a question. From the titles of the various forums, it appears that Premiere Pro CS2 is in the "Premiere Pro 2.x and earlier" catagory. Since there was but CS2, I wonder about the ".x" designation, there was never a 2.1, 2.5, 2.anything. I see the "Premiere (CS versions)," and Premiere Pro CS2 was definitely a "CS" version, and I am getting lost. It was hard enough trying to figure out the various version designations of previous editions of the software, especially when the "Pro" designation came in and then the CS/CS2 versions came out and was called PP and PP2, though they came out long after higher numbers in the non-Pro designations. Just where in the heck SHOULD questions on Premiere Pro CS2 be placed? While I'm asking questions about forum structure, has any thought been given to rolling the "Production Studio" forum into the Premiere forums? Where should Encore questions go? I'd still think in the Encore forums, but since it is only available bundled with Premiere, since CS3, I wonder. I saw a lot of Encore questions in the old CS3 forums. Would the MODs want them to be posted into the Encore forum? I'd think so, but do not really know. [Disclaimer] I am in no way advocating that Adobe change anything about the forums. That was tried, and I still vividly recall days of being without my Adobe forums. Please do not do that again! <Grin> Just trying to get this all straight in my feeble mind. Thanks, Hunt

While the Creative Suite moniker was introduced with 2.0, in my physical package, only Photoshop and Illustrator use the CS2 name. Premiere Pro is just called 2.0. After Effects is called 7.0. Encore is 2.0 and Audition is 2.0.
CS wasn't used across the board until CS3, so I can see why the forum headings are labeled as they are.

Encore CS6. Putting over 1 hour on a DVD

I have previously managed to put a large file onto a DVD in Encore CS6 but can't remember how. I have a project in Prem CS6 and it's about 1 hour 20 minutes long. Try as I may I only get a disc with about 1 hour 12 minutes. Clearly my Encore CS6 is set up incorrectly for this. Can anyone guide me through the required steps. I will mention that the project has no menus or chapters.
Many thanks. Pete

Complaint against the retention department- Billing

I have been a long time customer with AT&T. I recently, three maybe four months ago took advantage of my upgrade to the new Samsung S6 phone. I have never had any problems with my phones in the pass. This new device was just not working. Then I spoke with representatives in the retention department just about every 10-13 days notifying them of the problems I was having with my new phone. So Mr. Frank a manager in retention stated that he could save me $20/month on my account. I asked if my plan have to change. He stated "no" he saw that I was paying $30/month for unlimited talk and text and he can take $20 off since I have 2 phones. Not knowing that he changed my data plan. So last month my bill was increased $114 over for overages for talk/ I spoke to a Zackary on July 7, 2015, I explain my problem with my bill he assured me that the bill will be taken care of and was there anything else he can do. I then went on to explain the problems that I have had with my phone. He then offered a free upgrade. He asked me what phone I wanted I said the Samsung Note 4 edge. He then that he suggested that I should go with the NOTE 4 not the edge. I told him ok. The next day I checked my account saw that my account was not credited for the $114. After talking to a Yolanda and Nicollentia Johnson, Lakeia was the only representative that took the time to hepl me. Lakeia assured me that my account would be credited and it was. So once i received the Samsung Note 4 on July 10, 2015, and took it to the At&t store to activate my phone, I then asked the Representative what was the difference between the edge and the regular note 4 she stated that the edge is the newer model and that if it was her she would ask for the edge since that did a free upgrade to the NOTE 4. I called retention talked to Amber and she stated my account would be billed $99 I told her no I was told that it was a free upgrade. I was told that it would be credited once At&t receive my Samsung s6. So when I received my terms and conditions I called back again to verified that i would not be responsible for the $199 and was told no… I talked to a Elisa. She assured me that once both the Note 4 and the Samsung s6 was return it would be nothing added to my account. On July 27, 2015 I talked to a Madison about my account billing for the month of August, i was charged for the $99, $199, $80 for upgrade fees/ so my bill is over $568 who said there was nothing she can do about my bill. ...I asked if a manger could call me. I never received a call back. I call July 28, 2015, talked to a Alan in retention who had me on hold for 15mins if not longer and then was disconnected, called back talk to a Brianna who was very helpful she took her time to go through all my notes but then told me that my account was flag to not apply any credits. She stated that this was wrong and was trying to get a manger on the phone to go over my notes. I was then disconnected from her. I called back and talked to a Latonia who told me that she will have a manager by the name of Deavanie call me back. I requested that a supervisor review the phone calls from July 7 till now. Retention has made it very difficult for me to get help. Some of the people are not documenting what they are advising the customer on the phone therefore flagging me. I don’t appreciate the help or the lack of I have received. All I want at this point of time is for my bill to be corrected. My bill should be no more than $160/month. I have a working phone finally.

Setting start/finish markers for transcoding for BR disc image

CS4 4.2.1
Sorry this is a very basic question. When exporting a sequence using Export>Media you can set the start and finish points in the timeline in the Export Settings box, but when using Encore you can't, and it transcodes everything from time zero to the end of the last clip, and no setting of Work Area or Sequence Markers will change that. Why?

I think your original question is what Bill and Ann got to in the end. I have a strong preference for not trimming timelines in Encore. It has proven too fussy. You appear to be using dynamic link, or the work area bars would fix your export from PR. And when Encore takes a sequence from PR, it brings the whole thing and transcodes the whole thing for Encore.
Bill's "another workaround" method is what I think is the best way. You appear to ask only about 1 export, but can use Bill's method for multiples.
In PR, nest your full sequence in a new sequence. In the new sequence, trim to just what you want in your movie. Dyanmic link that to Encore.
There is a timeline in Encore. You have your asset (the exported movie or dynamic linked PR sequence), but you must make this a timeline, which is what Encore actually uses in the project. when you double click the timeline in the project panel, it will open a timeline window.

Edit Original in Photoshop?

Have hundreds of .jpg's in Encore 2, in various folders and slide shows.
Suddenly need to colour balance a bunch in Photoshop so thought I could
select in project window (or better in slide show) and get to Photoshop.
Pics come in many cases straight from camera - is that the reason. Do I have
to open all in Photoshop and save again to access this feature, or go
through the routine of find in Bridge and then open in Photoshop and then
resave etc??....

Peter,
I can't answer your Encore question but as a layman who has worked with many digital pics I found that most of my pics needed something done to them before I was happy with them. So I started a routine (work flow) of downloading my pics to a folder, deleting many of them, and then manipulating them in PS. I have over 10,000 family photos(that includes
scans and digital camera pics) going back to the turn of the century which Ive manipulated in PS and put into slide shows or mixed with video
and authored in several different authoring programs (only use Encore now, it took Adobe a while...). It took me a while to fall into that routine but it has worked for me. Only ocassinaly will I "open in PS" from inside another Programe to manipulate the pic.
Just my thoughts,
Kent

The easiest way to test is to try it out in the system.
If it works, you have not missed any step. Otherwise you will get an error message.

Creating small, text-editable PDFs?

I have many documents from school that I'd like to scan, convert to PDFs and then compile together into one PDF file. The problem is that whenever I scan a document, I can't compress it down enough without sacrificing quality, so I can't have a small PDF file. I have a few eBooks, and, looking at their properties, somehow the creators of those eBooks were able to compress their PDFs down enough without sacrificing any quality to the documents whatsoever. Here's an example:
one eBook that I have is 696 pages, the filesize is 4,159,863 bytes, and it looks like it was simply scanned and put together, because the quality of the eBook matches the book that it came from (which I happen to own). True, the images in the eBook are black and white (some of the images in the book are in colour), but there is no noticeable depreciation in their quality. Whoever created it was using the application PScript5.dll version 5.2, the PDF producer Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 (Windows), the PDF version is 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x), and was NOT optimized for fast web view. How did the author get the page size so small (kb wise) yet retain quality? If one were to do the math: 4,159,863 bytes divided by 696 pages equals 5976.81, then divided by 1000 equals 5.97681. Almost 6 kb per page? How is that possible?
The smallest I could compress scanned images was about 20 kb, and the quality was terrible. In fact, the only way I could shrink them to that size was to scan them in Black and white (1 bit), and then distill them as much as I dared. The vast majority of documents that I'm scanning are black and white text with very little in the way of graphics.
Here are the programs that I have at my disposal:
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 and HP Director (for scanning with my HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer, which has OCR technology)
Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.2720)
Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 (10/26/01) (yes, it has paper capture)
Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5.2001101100
It is driving me absolutely crazy that I cannot figure this out. Even creating my own job option in Distiller and adjusting the settings didn't help.
It should be possible, with the programs that I have, to get the results I want. For those of you who believe I should upgrade to something beyond Adobe Acrobat 5, here's another example for you:
There used to be a link on www.iartonline.ca (which no longer exists) to a PDF that is 13 pages long, created with the application Microsoft Word 8.0, the PDF producer is Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Windows, the PDF version is 1.2 (Acrobat 3.x) and has a file size of 79,719 bytes. In contrast, I scanned two school documents (using OCR) into Microsoft Word, corrected any errors, and converted it to an Adobe PDF from there. The resulting size (for TWO PAGES) was 25 kb.
So, in conclusion, it HAS to be possible for me to scan my documents, retain their quality while compressing their size, and compiling them into single file PDFs.
I apologize for the lengthy explanation (this is why I couldn't ask the question on WikiAnswers), but hopefully this will save others interested in answering from asking irrelevant (to me) questions.
Thank you for your time.

Well, back to square one. IrfanView seems like a good program, but I'm running into the same issues I had before (sacrificing quality for a more compact file size). Using IrfanView to scan the sheet music opens up HP Director (since I have an HP printer it makes sense that this would be the default program). With HP Director, my output type options are as follows:
1. Millions of colors
2. 256 colors (8-bit)
3. 256 colors (web palette)
4. 256 colors (system palette)
5. 256 gray shades
6. Black & White (1-bit)
Choices 1 and 6 are out automatically. Since the output dimensions (area to be scanned) is 7.86 x 10.37 inches, at 200 DPI, the image size is as follows (using the remaining choices from above):
2. 3.19 MB
3. 3.19 MB
4. 3.19 MB
5. 3.19 MB
The scale is 100%. After selecting choice 2 (256 colors - 8-bit) and scanning to IrfanView, the Image Information is as follows:
1571x2075x8BPP, 3.11 MB
So I'll save this as a TIF file (using ZIP compression) and the resulting file size will be 532 KB. Opening this file with AA5 and saving it as a PDF will result in a file size of 512 KB. The quality is definitely there, but the file size is way too big.
If I go through all that again and use JPEG compression instead of ZIP, the resulting file size is 1,836 KB. After opening the file with AA5 and saving it as a PDF: 354 KB. Once again, the quality is there, but the file size is too big. It appears that JPEG compression is the better choice in this particular case.
So what can I change? Going back into HP Director, I adjust the scale (size) to 50%. Output dimensions: 3.93x5.19; DPI: 200; output type: 256 colors (8-bit).
In Irfanview: 788x1035x8BPP, 797.5 KB; quality is a little bit less. Saving to TIF with JPEG compression: 592 KB. Opening with AA5 and saving to PDF: 125 KB.
Interesting side note: I decided to perform a Paper capture on this 125 KB PDF file. In the Paper capture Preferences, I chose 'Searchable image (compact)' as the PDF output style, and chose 'None' for Downsample images. Result? 267 KB.
Trying that again, this time with the PDF output style of 'Searchable image (exact)' produces the same file size (267 KB).
Mind you, when Paper capture was performed on the PDF, it straightened the image, which may have contributed to the larger file size. I noticed that IrfanView did something similar: if I rotated the image slightly (in this case, 1.10), IrfanView changed the image's BPP from 8 to 24 (but I changed it back to 8 BPP by going to Image>Convert to Grayscale).
Tried scanning it at 150 DPI instead of 200; quality was still there. TIF file size: 911 KB, PDF file size: 201 KB.
100 DPI. TIF: 468 KB, PDF: 109 KB. Starting to get a little blurry, but that could have been due to making the rotation change and then converting back to grayscale.
Tried scanning at 75 DPI, 256 gray shades and half the scale (size). Quality was HORRIBLE.
IrfanView has no "Print to file" option, so using Acrobat Distiller is out.
I've noticed that, if you rotate an image in IrfanView, sharpen the image, then convert it back to grayscale and save it as a TIF file, it will be blurry when it's opened in AA5.
HP Director doesn't always straighten the scanned image, even though there's an option to do so (and I always check the box for that option). I've re-scanned the sheet many, many times, but it's only at random that HP Director automatically straightens the scanned image.
I did a scan with 75 DPI, 256 gray shades, 100% scale. It looks great in IrfanView (602x775x8 BPP, 458.17 KB), but when I save it as a TIF (JPEG compression) and open it with AA5, the quality had considerably diminished. Even redoing the scan and saving it as a TIF with ZIP compression, it's still the same.
I tried Packbits compression, same thing; LZW, ditto.
So I upped the DPI to 150 and tried again, this time using JPEG compression. TIF: 1,077 KB, converted to PDF it was 231 KB. The quality was there, but the file is TOO BIG.
All in all, I've tried a few different approaches and it seems to me that I can have one or the other: quality or compact file size, not both. But I refuse to believe that. It MUST be possible.
I have an eBook that is 736 pages long and is 6.75 MB (7,077,900 bytes). The PDF producer was Adobe PDF Library 5.0 and the application used was Adobe InDesign 2.0.2. The quality of the eBook almost exactly matches the actual, physical book (I know this because I've borrowed the book from the library).
Did Adobe PDF Library 5.0 and/or Adobe InDesign 2.0.2 create such small PDFs from scans that were responsible for such a small eBook, or was it some other program? And, if it was some other program, then what's the name of it? Is it freeware?
You can download the eBook in question for free here: http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf
Bill, in HP Director, after clicking on "Scan document", the user is presented with 4 choices:
- Text & Graphics as image
- Text as image
- Editable text
- Editable text with graphics
The settings for these 4 choices can be modified. For the first two choices, resolution can range anywhere from 75-19,200 PPI, and the output types can be Millions of colors (24-bit), 256 gray shades (8-bit grayscale) or Black and White (1-bit).
The settings for the latter two give less options: resolution can be either 300 or 400 PPI, and the output type does not include the Black and White (1-bit) option. (This bit about HP Director is mostly for your information to give you a better idea of the program's capabilities.)
It IS possible to scan a document with HP Director, do OCR on it and save it as a PDF. The file, however, is very large.
I now understand that a document can have OCR performed on it OR have AA5 do a paper capture, but not both.
I really appreciate the time you've taken to address my questions, Bill. As I've stated before, this will also serve as a guide to others in the future should they have similar problems/questions.

Adobe Photoshop Quick Mask Won't Work

I'm using Adobe Photoshop 7. I didn't feel like upgrading.
Ok. I'm trying to use the Quick Mask but it won't mask. Instead, it does a light red mask instead and it won't select anything. I deletes the mask. I can't figure out how to make it so it creates masks instead. I had found a way where if you double click the quick mask button, it will bring up that menu where you can decide what it shows. I change it and it doesn't make a difference. After I select my masked area with the light red and exit out, nothing happens. When I double click the quick mask when on another layer and click the other option, it will make the whole screen red. When I draw with the brush while everything is red, the blank area is the new mask. (Blank as in Un-Red. The brush acts as an eraser.) Please help. I asked a few of my friends and I posted on a clan forum. I also asked on Yahoo Answers. I scowered Google but couldn't find anything that matches my problem. I'm getting quite pissed because it was working perfectly dismorning. I could use the way that is working right now but it is quite irritating.

Noel Carboni. Right after I conducted MTSTUNER's test, I had not touched the colors. I went and drawn random lines using white first. Nothing showed up.
Here, I flopped them by pushing the flip over/switch button.
It started doing the usual..
Sorry guys. I feel kinda like a jerk. I didn't fully understand what emil was talking about. Plus, I think I was multi tasking. Talking to some people about finances. My appologies. But, thank you all for trying to help. I really appreciate it.

Export to VOB - ready to burn

Am I missing something or it is really not possible to export timeline to DVD - VOB (VIDEO_TS folder, ready to burn)?
Currently I'm exporting final sequence into AVI, then converting it to VOBs using GV ProCoder.
CS4 is exporting to mpeg which again can not be directly burned to standard DVD.

The direct authoring/burning function was removed with CS3, when Encore was first included in PrPro.
As the others have said, Encore (now included) is the application for authoring/burning.
Good luck, and if you have any Encore questions, Adobe has a great forum for that application, HERE.
