Imported Subtitles Don't Burn on DVD Disc

I am new to Encore. These are the steps I followed. New project, import an .AVI as an asset, create a timeline, drag the .AVI on a timeline, then Import Subtitles as a text script selecting an adb.txt file that I paid to have created. In the monitor the subtitles play. In the preview mode they do not. When I do File > Build DVD > DVD Disc the subtitles are not displayed on the disc.
It is only a 6 minute video that I want the video and the subtitles to automatically play - just as it appears in the monitor. I did the check project button and it stated that I didn't have an end action set. I don't need it to do anything when it is done with playing the video and subtitles the first time.
Please help.
Thanks,
Angie

I just read your post from yesterday where you wrote
"a button must always be selected when you enter a menu, so you would never have a case where no button is selected (but you can fake this with a button with no subpictures set to be your default button, although this is a usability design flaw)."
I want to create a DVD to use as the source for creating VHS copies, so I think it would be OK to use a fake button process.
If you agree, can you explain how to do this?

  • UP Against a Deadline Panic--Subtitles Don't Burn to DVD

    Everything in Encore CS4 works perfectly--except the subtitles that do not burn to the DVD.  They preview fine in the Monitor, but they do not show  on the burned DVD--everything else on the DVD is there crystal sharp and clear.  Anyone have any possible fixes.  I am bang up against a deadline and I have gone over the tutorials and docs and am doing everything by the book.  The project is an SD DV DVD project.  Help!

    Jeff,
    Thanks for the quick response.  I had to go out on a shoot, and just got back to a computer hooked up to the net.  I decided to try a completely simple project.  An SD dv avi, with subtitles put on in Premiere with a simple menu with one play button. I added a subtitle track, put on two more subtitles, which again played perfectly on the Encore monitor.  Simple flowchart:   Project x> menu play button> video asset.  Burned perfectly, menu works, video looks great.  Of course, Premiere subtitles burned--BUT not the Encore subtitles.  Go figure.  By the way, I had an Encore using colleague check it out.  He hasn't a clue why it won't work!  So, I am redoing the original big project, putting on subtitles in Premiere.
    But I still would like to know whether it is me or Encore that is screwing up.  This last test was an absolute basic test. And I would certainly like to use Encore fror subtitles in the future--it is much faster than doing them in Premiere. Any ideas?

  • Why can't I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro ?

    I transferred some video footage to "iMovie' for editing and when I tried to burn it to a dvd disc, there was no option for that operation. All of the choices were to transfer it to You Tube, of facebook.Can I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro laptop or not?

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

    You dvd has been written in sessions (three in this case).
    You can copy all the data from the original DVD into one folder and burn the folder onto another DVD.
    Do you want to make your life harder? Do the following: start Disk Utility (inside /Applications/Utilities) and click on the new image icon on top left. Pick a name for the image and specify the size (4.7 or 8.0 GB depending on the size of the original DVD as well as the rest of parameters from the drop down menus: encryption-none, format-read/write. Save the image and expand it (open it). Coppy all the required data inside it and burn it.

  • Idvd: once a project is burned to dvd disc the resolution is very poor.

    I have created a project in idvd with several sub menues and images. Once I burn the project to dvd disc the resolution is very very poor. Besides the images being very pixelated, the menu screens are just as bad(pixelated), so it's not just an image quality issue. The funny thing is, when idvd is open (in the editing mode) and I play the project, everything is crystal clear. Then I burn the project, and play it in my computer to verify and the quality is terrible for both, my images and the menu and sup menues. I did import my (hi-res, average of 5mb) images into iphoto, then pulled them in to idvd from iphoto. I used a supplied template, but did change the positioning and font of the text on the menu and sub-menues. I have chosen the encoding to be 'best quality' rather than 'best performance' under the idvd preferences menu. There has to be something else I can do to get a great quality with this program.
    Thanks!

    The funny thing is, when idvd is open (in the editing mode) and I play the project, everything is crystal clear.
    iDVD's Preview function can and will lie to you. Use apple's dvd player as a more accurate indicator of what the final image (or rather disc image) will look like.
    Additinal recommendations: Use best performance for QT content 1 hr. or less and not best quality setting. This may help somewhat. Also make a disc image first from the file menu in iDVD6 and then lower the burn speed to 4x or lower in apple's disc utilities or roxio toast. Use only Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R for troubleshooting purposes only.
    Lastly, when shooting on minidv camcorders make sure not to pan too quickly. Avoid sudden movements. Use a tripod whenever possible. Make sure your subject is in focus and well lit. Use new / quality minidv tapes only.

  • In iMovie or iphoto I have made a good slide show with music. I want to burn to DVD disc for viewing on any DVD player.

    In iMovie or in iPhoto I have made slideshows that I want to burn to a DVD disc. But they only play on computers and I want it to play on DVD players. How do I do that?

    Hi
    You need to do a Video-DVD
    Your Mac can only make Data-DVDs without any extra program.
    • If it's some Years old then iDVD was included to do this
    • If brand New - iDVD is not supplied any more. Nor does Apple sell it either.
    (Can be bougth from Amazon or second handed in boxed version of iLife. The iLife on Apple Store do not contain iDVD or iWeb any more)
    alt. is
    If there are/is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • Encore subtitles don't appear on DVD

    Hi, I've put subtitles on a video in Encore.  They need to appear on the DVD (client does not want option to turn them off).  All looks fine in the preview window, but when I build the project and burn to disc, there are no subtitles on the video.  Am I missing something obvious?  I can't find anything in Encore which gives an option for the subtitles to be on or off.  I've been wrestling with this for days and my deadline is looming.  Any help with this would be most welcome.
    Shaun

    The DVD spec allows subtitles to be on or off. Even if you set them up as turned on, and provide no option for a menu to turn them off, all a user has to do is to use their remote to turn them off. I see no option in Encore for remote subtitle action to be restricted.
    You need to take the project back to Premiere, add the subtitles there, and make them part of the video. What your client wants are not really "subtitles" as provided as an option on DVDs. Well, they are subtitles, but the restriction you want is no possible; at least not in Encore.
    I don't know if scripting allows this, but your solution is straight forward.
    The only problem: I don't think Premiere provides an option for importing a subtitle  track (you can export from Encore if you added the subtitles there).

  • Internal Software Error while Burning to DVD Disc

    I am using PE3 and during the latter part of the burn, the process stopped and the following error message was displayed.
    .\Vobulator\Block Planner\Block Planner.cpp.line215
    Had no trouble the first time. Have tried burning to both +R and -R. Would appreciate any help, as I don't understand this message, or what I can do about it. Thanks

    I assume that you are using Encore CS4 for this Project. Is that correct?
    Now, let's look at your SlideShows. Is there any chance that the Audio is longer than the Video (the slides and their Duration), by even one Audio Unit? If so, then extend the Duration of the Video by a tiny amount. I do my SlideShows in PrPro, and always have about 2-3 Frames more Video, than Audio. I find Encore's SlideShow feature to be rudimentary at best. Also, make sure that your still images have been resized to the Project's Frame Size, outside of Encore. This would be true if you were doing SlideShows in PrPro too.
    Last thing, Encore can have issues with MPEG Audio. This can either be in muxed AV files, or Audio streams, like MP3. In general terms, MPEG is not even an optional Audio stream for DVD-Video. In PAL-land, it is "optional," but that is falling out of favor. The exception is the DD AC3 Audio stream, but it is unique. If I had MP3's, I would convert to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit outside of Encore, and NOT use anything MP3. If I am doing the Transcoding in PrPro, prior to Import into Encore, I always do so as elemental/elementary streams, i.e. one Audio-only and one Video-only file. I then Import the Video-only file as a Timeline, and the Audio-only file as an Asset. Once into Encore, I just drag the Audio-only file to the appropriate Timeline, where it snaps into place.
    Oh, one more thing: ganging Assets on the same Timeline can be problematic, and for some of the things mentioned above, like slightly longer Audio, than Video, plus gaps. I always have one Video Asset per Timeline, and then use Play Lists for my navigation.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps.

    PS - if this is related to Encore, there is a great forum for that program, with some excellent subscribers, like Jeff Bellune and Neil Wilkes. You can get some very good and specific responses from them. Here is the Encore Forum link - see you there.

  • Burning to dvd disc

    After I export a project using quick time to a .mov file, when I used toast titanium to burn to disc, the quality dropped very bad even though I set it to best quality and medium. It got lines when ever there are fast movement in the clips. But when I used I-dvd to burn to disc it was fine except that sometimes I don't want to use the themes. Please advise..

    I'm not sure what question you're asking. If you want your DVD content to "auto-play" when the disc is inserted, click on iDVD's Map button and drag your QT file into the auto-play screen at the root level of the DVD.
    How are you judging the quality of your Toast DVD? View it on a television, rather than a computer monitor, for best results.

  • Importing subtitles into DVD Studio Pro 4 that were created FCP Studio 6

    Greetings!
    So in all the DVD Studio Pro 4 documentation, I couldn't find any work flow that allowed you to create subtitles, via *Text or Boris 3D Titles* in Final Cut Pro Studio 6 and then export or import your work into DVD Studio Pro to be used in the subtitle fields... Is that possible?
    After painstakingly entering in subtitles for a feature film line-by-line, timing them perfectly to picture and making them look beautiful with crisp-text & a slight drop-shadow... It would be wonderful to import those files (as graphics files? DVD Studio Pro can import those...) in our DVD for release, with optional subtitles-- Instead of making/encoding 2 versions; with & without subtitles.
    What is the best way to export these files, created for the film subtitling in *Text or Boris 3D Titles* so that we can import them into DVD Studio Pro 4 subtitle tracks... Could they be exported with an Alpha Channel so that the background is transparent? And will this then be excepted into DVD Studio Pro 4 to be placed in the subtitle fields?
    Please help us conquer this seemingly-necessary procedure... I would really hate to think that to achieve this task we'd have to re-enter, re-design & re-time ALL subtitles to make our DVD... All of your suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    OK-- I love that I've found a way to answer my own question on this forum (but actually I must credit my buddy James for finding out about 'TitleExchange Pro') It looks pretty cool and should do exactly what I've asked about: Exporting/ Importing subtitles made in FCP to DVD SP...
    TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things simple.
    If you ever wished to get your titles out of FCP into DVDSP (or another DVD authoring application), get titles into FCP from another source like DVDSP or STL, or ceate a QT with all your FCP subtitles without the need of rendering (and get automatic selection of language) or just "equalize" your FCP titles TEP will be the right tool.
    There's a slight catch but it might be worth it, if this works as well as it states...Cost 135 EUR:) You can download a limited demo version that works for 30 days & 50 titles...If anyone wants to give their feedback on this software, please post it here-- We'd all be interested.
    Download & more information about this process at: http://www.spherico.de/filmtools/TitleExchange/
    Also, check out this video tutorial on the product... It explains exactly how to do the task-at-hand... http://www.studiodaily.com/main/minisites/finalcutpro/f/mtutorials/6851.html

    Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.  choose Open Finder from the pop-up menu. The disc appears on your desktop.
    Double-click the disc to open then drag the files and folders you want to burn to the window.
