How to customize shortcuts in Encore DVD 2.0?

Hi!
I need to customize some shortcuts because i am using a keyboard with a Swedish layout. If i press
Ctrl+; to show guides on a menu the menu zooms out...
In "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore DVD 2.0\Required" there is a file named
keymap.xml that i have customized some shortcuts in, but not all of the aviable shortcuts, Ctrl+; included, can be found in that file.
So, do you know where i can find the file so i can change Ctrl+; to something else? Is it possible at all?
/Roger

There's no supported mechanism for modifying shortcuts in 2.0, sorry. It is on our list of feature requests though...
It sounds like "Ctrl + ;" is mapped to "Ctrl + ," on your keyboard. The Swedish keyboard layout shown in the link below shows that the comma and semi-colon characters share the same key:

Try holding the Shift key down when you use "Ctrl + ;" to see if that gets you the Show Guides gesture.

I cannot imagine the Rendering for a Motion Menu taking this long, if all is right with the Asset used in that Menu. I've rendered 2.5 hour Projects in far less time.
I'd check that Asset. What is its format/CODEC? How long is it? Is the Audio separate from the Video?
Also, do a search on this forum for "render" and variations on "render bar dropping back," as there have been a lot of articles on this happening, though usually with the full Render/Burn of the DVD. Some of these have tied that problem to mouse-drivers.

Link Menu Buttons to Subtitle Track in Encore DVD 2.0?

I desperately need help with subtitles in DVD 2.0. I did: “Timeline > Add Subtitle Track” on each of my 10 timelines. I added a few subtitle texts to check how it works. So far so good. I created a submenu with “Select Subtitle, etc.” Then I tried to ‘link’ the Subtitle Button on this menu to subtitle track #1 – but it wasn't available in the Subtitle Button’s Properties panel’s Link drop down menu (and the Override drop down menu was grayed out).The Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 Manual says (on p. 222) that “You can set the audio or subtitle track with any link control (such as End Action or Override) in the Properties panel.” This doesn't seem to be the case unless I am doing something wrong (most probably). Also, on the same page, the manual says that “2. Select a button to set … the subtitle track… 3. In the Properties panel, choose Specify Other from the Link pop-up menu.” There is no “Specify Other” selection in the list. (One comment: The subtitle track does not show up in the Project panel – may be this is the problem?) I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Laci.

HI Bill, I have another subtitle question. I finished my first (big) Encore DVD 2.0 project yesterday (). I build the DVD image but when I tried to burn it to a DVD disk it turned out that the project has about 122 million more bytes than what would fit on the disk (). So, with PE 7, I edited some of the 9 movies in the project (exported them with same name, to the same place as during the first time) and I opened the Encore project. I noticed that it used the old (imported by Encore) avi files. Then I did something not very smart: deleted the old (and long) avi. files from the project and imported the edited (and shorter) new avi files. At this point, I noticed, that my laboriously created subtitles disappeared .
Do these subtitles still exist somewhere? There is a file in the project, called "SpuSplit.ses" in the SubtitleDataFiles folder but I do not know how to open it or if it would help at all. More important: What should I do next time to save the subtitles (or audio for that matter) if I still want to make some (minor) editing on my project after building the DVD? (I assume that I have to create the subtitles in script files and then import them as many times as I want. Am I right?)
Thanks for any help, Laci.
(BTW, I uploaded my picture and it is in 'My Profile' but does not show up with these massages.)

Making menu dvd in Photoshop to Encore dvd

Hello to all. The menu always I make dvd at photoshop and passes into the post Encore dvd. As you will see in the photo below I have made 3 Buttons (Play Movie - Chapter Selection - Slideshow) and a main video is not as much as you click on Button of the 3 poles was playing then. My problem is that I do not know what name to give him from Photoshop while I do the video in the central TV as Button whenever you go up the the arrow button takes like.
I do not want like a button but as a video that plays as long as you expect. How can this be;

Welcome to the forum.
If I understand what you are trying to do, which is play a Video in the Background of a Menu, then this THREAD in the Encore Forum might show exactly what you want to do. Also, most subscribers to the Encore Forum use Photoshop for their Menus, so you might want to read that linked thread, and if that is not what you want, post to the Encore Forum.
Good luck,

Advantage of using Encore DVD vs PremierPro to create DVD

I'm just learning these products and have a basic question for the gurus out there.
If I'm creating a DVD that just has a simple one-button (play) menu screen, what are the advantages and disadvantages to exporting the movie from PremierPro and importing into Encore DVD to create the DVD, vs just exporting to DVD directly from PremierPro?
Thanks!
Kathy

In the simple case you mention of single play button in a menu, the only possible advantage of doing it in Encore would be that you can customize your menu in Photoshop.
Otherwise, exporting to DVD from Premiere would be simpler.

E63 - How to customize 5 way key functions in stan...

Hi All, I remember having seen a menu to cusomise the 5 way center key somewhere in the E63 settings, but I am unable to find it anymore. Earlier the center button used to show contact names from address book, right direction key used to show the time/date/location/timezone, left dierction key was mapped to messaging and up and down direction keys were also mapped to some other stuff. Now the keys arent mapped to anything and when I press them nothing happens.
Does anybody know how to customize the 5 way key?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
first you have to switch the home screen to "Basic" (Menu -> Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> Home screen -> Home screen = Basic).
Then you can customize the 5 way navigation key with Menu -> Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> Home screen -> Key shortcuts.
Don't forget that you can use the 5 way navigation key the way you want only if you switch the home screen to"Basic".

2Hours Duration on Encore DVD

Hi,
I'm using Encore DVD v2 to finalize 2hours and 14mins long video for the first time and Encore MSG pop up suggested either delete some content or increase disc size.
what is the deal here, i check the help readme, stated that 4.7gb dvd could record up to 2hrs? is there any way around this, like tell encore to decrease the quality of video contents and fit everything on a dvd for me? I don't want Dual-Layer which will be 4.7gb on disc 1 and 2.1gb on disc 2...
I'm thinking of finalize as 6.8gb image then use DVD Shrink to fit on 4.7disc, but if i do this will get lots of artifacts, since about 35mins worth of slide show will not be crisp..
any other solution

JTS
Yes, i'm using automatic transcoding, and the msg i getting is below 2Mbps
AR
it is set as DolbyDigital
Well i'll try it again next time on my next project, as for this one, what i did was burn the to custom ISO 6.83gb and i used dvd shrink and its now fit on 4.7gb disc, quality is not that bad.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ONE MORE QUESTION, how do i now delete the project and all it contents off of my hard from Encore, or do i have to manually delete the folder?

Exporting to encore dvd with trial version of PPro CS3

My question:
Are we supposed to be able to use Encore DVD with the trial version of PPro CS3?
If so, then what are the proper steps?
Background:
i have downloaded a trial version of PPro CS3. I have wanted to check out the Encore DVD maker that now is included with the PPro. However, when i attempt to export a timeline to Encore, the 'export to encore' is not active. In other words, i see the words 'export to encore' but they are faded and thus the link to it is 'dead'.

Trial does not with any flavor of MPEG due to license restrictions
You may import-edit-export DV AVI type 2
Encore is not activated until you pay and convert the demo to real
Read the FAQ article
Converting Download Trial to Registered
(read subject
How do I convert a trial version to a version for unrestricted use?)

Problems importing .wmv file as an asset to CS3 Encore DVD

If anyone has any insight, it would be very much appreciated. I tried to find the answer by looking at this forum and google and I haven't been able to find any information. When I import the .wmv file on a mac to Encore DVD CS3, I am getting the following error message"The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help correct the problem."
Unfortunately this error message doesn't tell me where to look to resolve this. I have filp4mac installed and I am able to view .wmv files. So any insight on how to correct this issue would be very much appreciated. Take care - Julie

If your asset is very very large (like over two hours long) then Encore might insist on scanning the entire asset before importing it. You should notice your hard drive light on steadily, or a lot of disk drive activity from Encore using a program like Process Explorer.

Wrapped or Chopped Subtitles Encore DVD 2.0

I'm using full version of Encore DVD 2.0 (completely registered)
When I import my subtitles and preview... the subtitles appear to be ok. But when I build the project the subtitles appear as they are "Wrapped" or "Chopped"... I've tried to reduce the size of the font, but the problem occurs in both cases: when the subtitle line has 3 or 10 words. I've tried using Arial Narrow-18 to 14-Regular-Medium Stroke and Tahoma 30 to 14-Regular-Medium Stoke with the same results.
Another problem is that when I tried to import other subtitles I receive an "Cannot import subtitles, save them as UTF-8 or UTF-16 and re-import"... how can I do that???, I made my subtitles in notepad and in Subtitle Workshop (saving as Encore DVD format).

Edgar,
Be honest. In the first couple (or was it the last couple?) of your multiple posts, you
did not include the fact that you had used Subtitle Workshop. Read
HERE and
HERE if you need to refresh your memory.
Although I did not read
this post entirely, I picked it as the place to respond because it was your own topic, not piggybacked on someone else's topic.

Reinstalling Encore DVD 2.0

I have installed Creative Suite Production Studio Premium on my computer. Encore DVD 2.0 has become corrupted. Is it possible to just uninstall only Encore and reinstall only Encore from Creative Suite Production Studio Premium. Or do I have to uninstall all and reinstall all. And related question: how?

Simply rerun the installer from your DVD set.
Initially you should try the repair option, but if this fails then uninstall justt the EncoreDVD component, reboot & then re-install the EncoreDVD component.
One thing you might want to try before going to this extreme is trashing the Encore prefs file, and forcing it to rebuild this next launch.
99% of the time, this will work.
Go to the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0
and delete the "ProjectPrefs.xml" file.
Then try to launch.

Encore DVD 2.0 "Timeline has a (Hpgc) error at 00:00:00:00

System: Win XP, 1GB RAM etc. I've used Encore DVD 2 for 3 years, never had this error message:
"Timeline has an error at 00:00:00:00.
PGC Error - PGC Info - name= (Name of Timeline) ref= Hpgc, time= 00:00:00:00"
Check project was initially fine. I rebuilt entire project, same error. But Checking project, this time round, said it was an AUDIO error.
Transcoding all works, then the error appears at the Start of the actual build.
Help, I have 30 orders for this DVD, and nothing to show!

@Stanley,
Thank you for some more input on the PGC Error mess, like the "H" being a designator.
@Raymond,
John's rec. for G-Spot is a good one. I use this about every week, and sometimes on many files in a day - depending on what client's load onto my desk. This little freeware program will do many things, but probably the most important is to tell you exactly what your AV (Audio/Video) file consists of, which CODECs are used for the Audio and the Video and whether your system has them installed.
As Stanley points out, MPG is not available (in or out) in the Premiere Trial version. Still, you should be able to File>Export>Movie and select, first Video (only, non-muxed) DV-AVI. Then do this again, but select Audio (only, non-muxed) PCM-WAV. This will give you elemental streams.
In Encore, Import_As_Timeline, your DV-AVI, and Import_As_Asset, your WAV. Drag your WAV to the Timeline.
Now, as the trial version does not allow any use of the MPG CODEC (licensing restrictions on the trial ONLY), you can't burn to DVD, which is MPEG-2, but you can Preview. You can also explore building a DVD with Menus, etc., you just cannot burn to folder, disc, etc., until you get the full version.
I have never had a PGC Error, nor have I ever seen a "Mismatched Audio" error. I tried to put much thought into the two PGC Error threads, but do not think I was able to help, at all. Also, most subscribers just posted, "yeah, me too," and never came back to answer anyone's questions. I also agree with Stanley, that most errors occurred well within the Project's Timeline, not at the beginning. I also agree with Stanley's suggestion to look at Jeff's and Neil's comments in those two threads. If noting else, their suggestions on how to work with Encore will give you a nice education.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Re-reading this thread, I think I warned Raymond about a moot point. Raymond, if you have Encore2, of course you can burn a DVD. I saw the mention of "trial," and jumped to the conclusion that you had the trial of CS3 *only* which would not allow you to use EncoreCS3 for a burn operation. Obviously, the trial of the Premiere side will preclude your Exporting in MPG, and also preclude Exporting Audio with the SurCode Dolby Digital AC3 encoder (separate purchase from Minnetonka, but a great plug-in if you do Surround 5.1 Sound). Please pardon my warnings, and caveats, if you have Encore2.
Also, the Check Project function is mainly checking navigation within the DVD specs, and I've never seen any Asset errors from it. Maybe I just have not had any???? Still, good luck!

Encore DVD 2.0 Forces Transcoding on Spec MPEG Files

Since I have upgraded to Encore DVD 2.0 it insists on transcoding many of the MPEG files. The file are 720x480 NTSC and within the MPEG specs. Also the file is marked a do not transcode in the project view.
In fact if I use Encore DVD 1.5 and load the same MPEG file and create an identical project it does NOT transcode the MPEGS files.
Encore DVD 2.0 also freezes on occasion when you preview the project. Again Encore DVD 1.5 does not have that issue with the same files.
Please let me know how to correct this problem.
Thank You

The files are from DVDs I have previously created and new material. so a verity of applications. But the key here is they work perfectly with Encore DVD 1.5, and some of them were from DVD created with Encore DVD 1.0 they must have worked with with it as well.
Thanks
