Encore Trail won't transcode?

Hey guys, I'm new to Encore 2.0. I have just download the trail version of Encore 2.0 and installed it. So when I tried clicked on "Build DVD," the transcoding started. However, when it's done transcoding it started to "import" whatever the .avi movie file I had in the timeline, and it just hung there forever. Then, I tried to do "transcode now" with the .avi file, and the same thing happened. Seems like it would get stuck on importing the file. I even uninstall and reinstalled the program a couple of times. Does the tryout version not have the complete transcoding feature? Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
ps: By the way, when I clicked on "Edit Project Transcoding Preset", I noticed that under "Export Settings", the "Format" option for both Source and Output was already set to "MPEG2-DVD." The drop down box is grey and it wouldn't let me change anything. Is this how it's supposed to be?
Any help would be really appreciated

Sorry, I went away for an emergency for a few days. I had a "non-compressed" avi that I created it in Premiere. But I actually figured out why it wouldn't transcode. I called the adobe custom support, and they said the trail version didn't come with the function to actually burn your movies to dvds. So what I do now is to convert the file to MPEG in Premiere first, and then burn to DVD in nero. This way, the DVD's quality is still good, and doesn't have the nero look. By the way, I don't usually need to create menus. I just burn the auto play dvds. So that's why I can get around by doing this.
If you know any other things that I can try, I'd be glad to hear. Thanks for the help.

Encore CS5 insists on transcoding .m4v

Kind of stuck here.
Trying to author a Blu-ray and I encoded a large video file out of Premiere CS5 with Media Encoder CS5 using H.264 Blu-ray.
I always do this and then bring the clips into Encore and it never tries to transcode them but for this particular project it insists on transcoding and the transcoded file packs in another 4GB or so.
Here are my encoding settings:
Format: H.264 Blu-ray
Codec: Main Concept H.264 Video
TV Standard: Automatic
Frame dimensions: 1440x1080
Frame rate: Automatic
Field Order: Automatic
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic
Profile: Main
Level: 4.1
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 Pass
Bitrate Level: Custom
Target: 25Mbps
Maximum: 30Mbps
I don't get why Encore won't build without transcoding first. The initial encode took 20 hours and I don't want to wait for Encore to transcode the video again nor do I want the extra 4GB.
Any ideas as to what happened with my encode or is it a problem with Encore?
Thanks.

Agreed. If this is pre-audio then my idea is not correct.
My guess is that there is still a bit rate issue even if the file settings are correct. A bitrate analyzer may help, but that sounds like a lot of trouble (determining if the large/master file somehow clips just of the 30 mark and your short sample does not).
I like Ann's idea best so far
Best of luck,
Erik
Yeah, even if I change the project settings to 40.0Mbps and reimport the clip Encore still wants to transcode.
At this point I'm thinking something went wrong with the encode and I should just re-encode and try again.
Unless someone has another idea, I'll post my results when the encode is complete.

Encore CS4 Fails to Transcode

Guys the problem I already decided to freeze, but I have another problem, when I go to transcode some videos in encore cs4, it's transcode failed, someone help me? I'm using Encore CS3 to get to transcode.

Encore CS5 won't boot up from desktop icon in Windows 7

Encore CS5 won't boot up from desktop in Windows 7 64bit version.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for that reply.
I have always opened it separately from Premiere in the past. In this instance I have some MPEG files unrelated to Premiere.
No problems during install or reinstall. No error messages when clicking on the desktop icon.
It seems to not be part of the Cloud suite at all.
The system is Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit with 16gb memory i7-2700K CPU @ 3.5Ghz.
Lets know if more information needed. One thread suggested that it needs an update to pxengine (owned by Roxio) but I could not locate it at their site – it appears to be integrated into their programs, of which I have Roxio Creator 2012 installed.

Encore freezes up during transcode in CS5

Hi,
I have a 2 hour project shot in HD (1080-60i). It transcodes to a Blu-ray DVD just fine.
However, when I try to produce a SD DVD using the same project, my computer freezes up: the transcoding seems to continue on the background but the mouse, keyboard and other programs freez up. The system shows that this happens when the utilized RAM reaches 11GB out of 12GB available. My set up is i7-930, 12GB RAM, 5 dedicated HDD with plenty of space.The only thing I can do is a cold restart as the keyboard is dead and Ctr+Alt+Del do not function.
Any ideas why this is happening and potential solutions?
Thank you.

Thank you folks for the tips.
Very helpful guide by Jeff on creativecow.net - thank you too.
Jeff, can you please share your opinion on the workflow that would produce better/more consistent results:
1. I'm going to cite one of the guys from your CreativeCow post: 'instead of just "send to encore" inside premiere and transcode in Encore ...it's better to encode to MPEG2 DVD in PrPro and then just start a new Encore project and import into Encore and burn...correct?' - is this the preffered workflow, or
2. I can use my HD project authored in Encore, select the proper settings to transcode it to SD in Encore (like 'Use maximum render quality') and come up with a SD versoin of my HD footage without sending the footage for down-rez to PrPro?
Thank you

Clip for trailer won't load, regardless of the size the error message keeps popping up, "That clip is not long enough. Choose a longer clip for this part of the trailer."

I got it out!
Here is how.
None of the Apple-suggested ways worked. However, before totally giving up I started Roxio Popcorn and pressed the big eject button on it. It came out effortlessly!
So, I thought "Weird..."
I put the CD back in and reproduced my original problem. I got it out just as easily using Roxio Popcorn Eject feature.
So, I then thought "Maybe it is the disk?" There is nothing wrong with the disk as far as I can tell. It is perfectly round, has a smooth label-side surface. It is not even a label, it is a standard software install disk you buy in stores.
I inserted a different disk. The mini mounted it, I browsed it, and then ejected it by dragging it to trash. Worked fine.
I tried a few other disks.
The drive seems to work fine.
Maybe that CD is cursed, I dunno. I tried that disk in my PowerBook and it works fine there.
Who knows ?
I am still backing up my hard drive as I type this message in case I need to take it to the store.

"Error setting up transcoder" Then how do I stop Encore from trying to transcode?

All my assets are DVD compliant MPEG-2s or AC3s made with MainConcept. All assets are set to "Don't Transcode". Yet when I try to build the ISO or DVD Folder, after the initial long pause the status window appears and within seconds I get this error.
This doesn't make sense to me. Why is Encore even trying to transcode anything? How do I stop it from doing so? What's the point in having the option to select "Don't Transcode" when its going to try and do it anyway?
Anyone found a way round this? This is really urgent as I must have this project done for Christmas day as its a present. Thanks

What am I, a mind reader? ;)
If you can transcode other projects in Encore, then I'd suggest you do a SaveAs on the project, and then in the copied project, begin deleting assets until you can build without error. Then add them back one at a time and build again until you find the culprit(s).

Encore CS3 Freezes when Transcoding

I opened an older DVD menu that was made in Encore CS2. I made some changes to it cleaned up orphan timeline and dead links and added audio to menu. When I tried to export it to DVD it freezes when transcoding and locks my work station. I've done this several times on CS2 but this is the first time I have done this in CS3 and I get this problem. I tried transcoding seperately and my PC still freezes. The encore preview menue is great. Does the program only transcode AVI or does it do AVI and MP3. I really dont understand fully what it does when transcoding because either it didn't do this in CS2 or it did but it was flawless so I paid it know attention. Any assistance would be great.

- Using the .m2v file the problem occur as with the .m2p files...
- I tried directly with the quicktime ref. Here it can't even trancode the Ref file!!! I tried transcoding it while still in the project but this option is DISABLED from the right-click menu.

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...

Encore CS4 won't go into Blu-ray authoring mode

CS4 running on an HP Z800 with a Windows 7 operating system. I am trying to author my first Blu-ray project. The encode from the timeline went fine. When going into Encore, however, trouble starts. After filling in the new project screen (title, Blu-ray, 1280 x 720, MPEG-2, 59.94 fps) the project window opens up. Everything in the project window is still set for a SD DVD. I change the burner selection to the Blu-ray burner, and then select the Blu-ray option. At that point the little circular blue indicator starts rotating...and continues to do so. I've let it go for as long as five minutes and nothing changes. Then I go into the Task Manager and the entire computer seizes up, causing me to have to shut down manually. What is going on and why won't Encore go into the Blu-ray authoring mode?
Thanks.
Spencer

Ramesh!
Thank you so much...it worked! After installing the pxhelp engine the Blu-ray function within Encore came up and appears to be functional. One more question for you, if you don't mind. As I said in my original post, the program was encoded for Blu-ray directly from the timeline using the Adobe Media Encoder. The resulting file came in at just about 16GB. Once I brought that file into Encore as a timeline, though, it was only 7GB and it was listed as "Untranscoded." Shouldn't an encoded file for Blu-ray function just like an encoded file for a DVD? If not, did I miss a step? Does it have anything to do with the pxhelp file, since the program was encoded before that file was downloaded? Any assistance you can provide here will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Why does it take CS4 Encore 2 days to transcode Blu-ray h.264 High Def

I have been trying to create a Blu-ray disc for Days by adobe dynamic link from Adobe Premiere Pro. I have no problems with creating a DVD. I only have problems when I try sending over 1080i High Definition footage instead of Standard Definition. I was able to create a successful Blu-ray with only 53 minutes of footage, but now I am trying a fully edited video with Titles and Transitions and the length of video is somewhere in the area of an 1hour and 54 minutes and it has been trancoding for over a 24 hour period and still not finished. I have CS4 Master Collection, Windows Vista 64X bit, i-7 processor at 2.66 and 6 gig of memory Hard-drive external 7200 RPM 1.5TB Seagate and 2 Internal Harddrives 750 G and 1TB. I am curious if anyone else has experienced this problem when sending footage over with adobe dynamic link directly to Encore??? When I use the Media Encoder by itself from Premiere it only takes about 6 hours to render 1 hour and 53 minutes of Video into the H.264 Blu-ray format. I am racking my brains to understand why. Also it seems that it Transcoded about half within 5 hours and has seemed to have considerably slowed down since. Please anyone with any suggestions would be very helpful. Also my project shows in the build as being 13.42GB and I it is transcoding in the H.264 Blu-ray format.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunatley I have tried the idea of transcoding the footage and exportig to encore by importing assets and it freezes and Encore hangs there without any response. I think I have lost the last hair in my head trying to figure this out. I am not sure if the imported file is too large for Encore to import as the file is almost 14G but it is very frustrating. I was thinking of going to CS5 but I wanted to up-grade to Windows 7 and have been hearing a lot of issues with CS5 running correctly, so I am waiting till they get all the bugs worked out with that. Also I was curious in CS5 is Encore a true 64 bit program now along with the Media Encoder and Encore or is it just Premiere Pro that is 64 bit? This is one of the reasons I had moved from CS3 to CS4 is because I thought the entire CS4 Master collection was 64 bit only to find out it was just Photoshop. It did work out some issues with Flash that I was having as well as Acrobat, but I want true 64 bit rendering. Please let me know Thanks again. Joe

Encore project won't load

I have 2 encore projects - significant because they have about 22 video clips linked together with a dozen or so menus. One is a copy of the main project and neither of them will load for me.
I'm using CS5. Prior to today everytime I wanted to load this project it took ages to gather all the bits and finally put them into timelines and now it won't do it at all. I have a couple of clips that need to be changed before re-burning a final copy for duplication.
Please get back to me asap as I have a deadline of tomorrow to sort it.
Thanks,
Cheryl

I follow the directions exactly, import the assett into Encore and it still wants to Transcode.
I wasted my entire weekend encoding and working on this project and now it is all a waste of time.
Anyone have a clue on how I can fix this?

Encore csa wants to transcode files that are already dvd compliant

Hi:
I have a PPCS4 sequence that is already DVD compliant. The video files are .mpg and the settings for the sequence are NTSC. I can author the individual files in Encore with no problems, but when I import the sequence they're edited into in PP, Encore claims they are untrancoded. The original files were AVCHD, and I transcoded them into vob, and then to mpg, because PP wouldn't open vob files. I've tried countless ways to get the best quality final product, and the AVCHD-vob-mpg seems to be the best. I just can't stop encore from transcoding and then my final product is crap. The footage is interlaced and it has serious "combing" when I have Encore encode it again. Below are the settings for all of the various files/sequences/projects. If anyone can shed light on this, I'd be very grateful.

Personally, I would not go from AVCHD>VOB>MPG.
I would go from AVCHD (if that is all there is) to an interim uncompressed 4:2:2 Quicktime first & then encode that straight to DVD compliant MPEG-2.
You don;t mention if your .mpg file is an audio/video multiplex, and given the retranscoding I suspect it is.
Encore prefers elementary streams (separated audio & vide) where the video is an .m2v file and the audio is a 16/48 LPCM file.
The reason your transcodea are looking so bad is because AVCHD is lossy, and going to a multiplexed VOB file is also lossy, then from this to .mpg and you are losing detail every single time you go through another lossy version.
Take your source files, encode to interim lossless/uncompressed & from there to MPEG-2.
