Lock encore DVD markers - possible?

Is it possible? otherwise they stay in place and if you ripple delete somwhere - they are no longer in place!

This would indeed be a good feature request. Have you filed it here: Adobe Feature Request Form?

Wow.
Not at all. It's just not a big deal to me to have to move the markers if I find that mistake or have a new flash of inspiration. I don't plan on moving them more than once. (Okay, maybe not more than twice.) Plus, I'm going to check each chapter point again anyway, even if the ripple delete for chapter markers function existed. It's a good feature request; IMHO it's not a critical FR.
"Then when the final edit is done, move from clip marker to clip marker
and add Encore chapter markers to the sequence before exporting to
Encore."
Having to change 30 clip markers at the end of a project is a major pain.
Not if you follow my "workaround". Use a keyboard shortcut and you can get the new chapter markers inserted in less time than it takes you to read this post.

DVD menu in Encore from DVD markers in timeline

How can I use the DVD markers on the timeline in Premiere Pro (thus also in Encore) to build a DVD menu in Encore. In premiere pro 2 where the DVD authoring was included the DVD markers automatically presented themselves as a DVD menu.

I edit most Projects into "scenes" or "chapters," on separate Sequences. In Encore, I usually have one En Timeline per Sequence, or Chapter. However, one CAN have one long Timeline, where the Chapters are deliniated via Markers.
When you say "I cannot get more than one scene in the menu." I am not sure that I am following you. You should be able to have 16, or 32 (depends on the Aspect Ratio of the Menu) Buttons, per Menu (total Buttons), and each linked to a Chapter in your Encore Timeline. What exactly is happening, when you try to link your Buttons to the Chapters?
Good luck, and let us know a bit more, as I do not think that you will need to re-do your Project in PrPro, or probably not even in Encore.

Print out of Encore DVD Flowchart

I'm asking out of pure curiosity's sake.
Is it possible to get a print out of an Encore DVD flowchart? Obviously one could be made in either Illustrator or Photoshop, but it could be helpful to get a print out of a ready made flowchart.

Without going the raster-image routes, mentioned above, I know of no direct print function. I will usually do my flowcharts in AI, as I can have so much more control that way, and can even plug in graphics of the Menus, so that the client can see things cleanly, and can sign off on the Project.
I know that is not as easy as just pushing a button, and generating an 11 x 17 high-rez PDF, which would be great, but I do not know of any other ways.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

CAN I LOCK A DVD AFTER IT'S BEEN BURNDED SO NO-ONE ELES CAN COPY IT?

Can you lock a DVD after it has bee burned?

It is possible, but not an easy or cheap solution in the case of video DVDs (ones that can be played in a DVD player).
If you mean a playable DVD (one that can be played in a DVD player) - you can only do this with additional software such as RipGuard. It's not a cheap solution and requires a pc with WinXP. There are DVD replication houses that can do this for you, of course for a fee. Even if implemented, however, there are plenty of DVD ripper apps out there that can defeat the copy protection.
If you mean a data DVD (one that contains data files that may be read by a computer but not played on a DVD player) - you can do this by creating an encrypted disc image in Disk Utility and then burning it to DVD media. You will then need the key (password) in order to open the disk.

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.

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.

Move Encore Chapters Markers

Hola amigos!, Aquí con una super duda: ya tengo mi secuencia terminada y hasta con marcadores de Encore señalados, pero ahora tengo la necesidad de mover toda la secuencia un poco a la derecha para poder insertar otros clips, ¿Cómo le hago para que la secuencia se mueva junto con los marcadores de capítulos tipo Encore?
--Sería ridículo pensar que no se puede y que tendría que mover cada marcador de capítulo uno por uno!--
Hello friends!, Here with a super question: I have my finished sequence and even Encore markers identified, but now I have the need to move the whole sequence a little to the right to insert other clips, how do I get him the sequence moves along with the type Encore chapter markers?
- It would be ridiculous to think that you can not and would have to move each chapter marker one by one! -

Unfortunately, DVD Markers (Encore Markers) are attached to the Timeline, and not to the Clips in a Timeline, like Clip Markers are. They do not move, when the Clips are moved. About the only way, that I can think of, is to do this manually. Maybe I am missing something, and others can furnish you with the trick.
Good luck,
Hunt
Por desgracia, los marcadores de DVD (Encore marcadores) se unen a la línea de tiempo, y no a los clips en una línea de tiempo,como marcadores de clip son. No se mueven, cuando los clips se mueven. Acerca de la única manera de que se me ocurre, es que hacer esto manualmente. Tal vez me estoy perdiendo algo, y otros pueden presentar con el truco.
Buena suerte

Can encore chapter markers auto shift after ripple delete?

I need to break up a 4 hours sequence into two shorter ones to make 2 dvds. However I've already marked all the chapters. I duplicate this long sequence and ripple delete the first half to make the 2nd dvd sequence. However the encore chapter markers didn't move with the ripple delete. Is there a way to attach these markers to certain location of the video clips so I don't have to move them when I change the length of the sequence?
using premiere and encore cs4

One work-around I can think of is to put a bunch of minute-long dummy video clips on a track and position them on the desired chapter point. These clips would shift along with ripple delete, and I can move the chapter points to line up with these dummy clips quickly.
For the current project I don't plan to ripple delete or change the length anymore, so I manually re-position the chapter points this time, for the last time I hope.
I did switch to dynamic link -- seems to be the only way to get the chapter points into encore, and I'll admit it's an improvement over cs3 where I export an avi file and import that into encore.

Ripple Delete including Encore Chapter Markers

Hi Everyone.....my first post!!!
I'm trying to do a ripple delete of about 25 seconds of video at the start of the time line......the remainder of the time line has 10 Encore chapter markers in there correct places......when I perform the delete the video moves over correctly but the chapter markers stay in there original places and do not follow the 25 second jump.
I have looked in the FAQ's on here and the PP Wiki site and other places and have not found an answer.
Can it be dun?....What do I need to do?
I'll bet it's something simple that I'm missing......surely this feature or setting is built into the program.
Using PP CS3 V3.1.1 Win XP Pro SP3 P4 3.6 HT and 4Gig of ram. Video drive is Fibre Channel array through a Dell 56F switch at the moment
Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Chapter markers (and sequence markers, for that matter) are locked to a specific time code in the sequence. You'll have to change the chapters markers manually, which should only take you a minute or two:
1) Ripple delete the footage you want to remove from the head of the sequence, making note of the duration of the removed piece.
2) Right-click on the time ruler on your timeline, and find the option to jump to the next Encore chapter marker. You can also customize your keyboard settings to map the "next" and "previous" commands to your keyboard, which will make this process even faster. In any event, the CTI (current time indicator) will jump to the next chapter marker in the timeline.
3) Making sure that you have no clips selected in the timeline (press Ctrl + Shift + A to de-select all), use your numerical keypad to type a minus sign ("-") and then the duration that you noted up above. When you press enter, the CTI will jump back that amount of time.
4) Using your mouse cursor, select the chapter marker where you were just positioned and drag it back to the CTI. It should snap into place. Repeat this process to move the remaining marks, which should not take too long as you only have a few marks.
Hope that helps...!

4:3 and 16:9 mix onto one Adobe Encore DVD

Using Adobe Encore DVD, I have made a 4:3 and 16:9 mix of movie timelines and menus on one DVD.
Encore previews the mix of 4:3 and 16:9 movies/menus in the one project correctly.
The dvd disc I made plays 4:3 and letterbox 16:9 on my 4:3 TV correctly.
The dvd disc I made plays 4:3 and 16:9 in InterVideo DVD on my computer OK.
Why when I take the disc to the shop to view on a widescreen monitor does it not show each aspect ratio correctly. I hope it is just a setting there but we tried many settings on the DVD player and on the monitor. When 4:3 played correctly, 16:9 did not and vica versa.
Is it me or the shop?
This page was helpful http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329473.html
Thanks, freddo

We were just stuggling with this for some time, and eventually discovered that we were not properly using Encore.
We had two videos: one as 4:3, the other as 16:9.
We created a menu, brought the videos into the timeline, linked everything properly, but would not get the expected results.
We eventually learned that we were supposed to create TWO timelines; one for the 4:3, and one for the 16:9.
Hope this can save someone some time.

Encore DVD Writing Cancels won't play on DVD player issue

So I have a very confusing issue with encore.
When I press build everything works fine. Then writing begins. The moment the writing reaches the end of the progress bar (the exact moment) the progress bar goes to empty and the bottom bar says canceling and ejects the DVD. Usually (not every time) a pop up menu saying "end of file" appears next. When I press ok for end of file message the pop up disappears and suddenly the DVD progress bar is filled and the DVD says completed (as if nothing just happened). So I'm confused whether it worked or not!
I reinsert the DVD that just ejected into my Mac and it works! Then I put it into a DVD player and it won't play, it won't play on my old Xbox 360 either, but it WILL play in a Bluray player?!
Everytime I rewrite the files I get different results. They all work on my Mac and blu ray but only 1 of 4 works in the Xbox. The one that does work in the Xbox will read in the DVD player but plays choppy and skips around as if the DVD is scratched or damaged?
! Other differences involve the write speed, sometimes the options are 8x or 4x. Other times its 3x,2x, and 1x. When the latter write speed options occur I cannot press "test before writing" it's greyed out. When 8x and 4x are the speed options I can check it. I used different DVDs and it didn't help.
I work for a company that needs to copy the DVDs but they can't be copied. Don't know why?
Here are my settings
Mpeg 2-DVD exported from Pr.

I really need help with this weird issue quickly thanks.

Just an Update, I've tried many things to no avail still have a few others to try. Being a Large file it takes a while to try things.
I went ahead and got Toast, but considering that the Image Iso and the DVD Folder both gave me the End of File Error and the Disc "Failed Completed" Error I figured it a no go and it was. It did however give me something that Opened everywhere (Mac,Xbox,Dvd) , but it did not play on the Dvd correctly.
I've done numerous things in the Mac permissions end Like trying as a different user and running as the Root User, but it was also unsuccessful.
I've Re- Exported the file many different ways, but finally had a breakthrough using a version of M2v. It's definitely an error with Finalizing. My disc previously began to mess up and give "END of File" after it finished writing, it never even made it to the "Writing Lead Out" stage. I beleive this is why it plays it certain places fine, but probably not as well in systems (like Dvd players) that require those last few steps like writing Lead Out.
The only issue I have now is that when I put it into the DVD player it say "No title"!?!? AY CARAMBA!!!
Now I'm working on trying to figure this NEW problem! I have all my menus and links in place, but no go. I think it may be related to the previous problem in that something beneath the surface is wrong with my computer. Being a used Mac with a restored Hard Drive there are probably endless possibilities, but I hesitate to think that way because it may also have absolutely nothing to do with it.
So any help is greatly appreciated
whether it be a specific issue you know of dealing with used Macs and issue similar to mine
or just on the "NO Title" error as a separate issue. I'm hoping this "No Title" is something simple and unrelated, I've already burned through about 13 discs and even more pain pills for the headaches!!

DVD Markers in FCP 3

I had heard that one could put DVD markers in a project in FCP 3, and then drop that project into iDVD (I am in iDVD 4) and that program would be able to read them and add them to the DVD menu.
Is this true...?
Best,
Evan Jacobs
Message was edited by: Host

In FCP3 you can add chapter markers that iDVD will recognize. When your playhead is at a location that you wish to add a marker, hit the "M" key twice. A window will open and you can give your chapter marker a name. The name will carry into iDVD, but can be changed there if you wish. Be sure to click on "add chapter marker" in the window before you close it. You cannot add a chapter marker within one second of the beginning of a project. I usually just skip placing a marker there since iDVD places one there anyway. After opening iDVD you can change the name of the first marker from "Beginning" to whatever you wish.

Encore chapter markers which move with clip

Problem: Encore chapter markers which move with clip
CS4 Production Suite
XP Pro SP3
I have 9 sequences with each containing 4 Encore chapter markers. As expected in the real world, the end users continually want edits to the sequences. If I razor out a piece of a clip in the sequence, the Encore chapter markers stay fixed to the time ruler and do not move with the clip. As a result, one has to manually move each Encore chapter marker to re-align with the proper location on a clip. This is time consuming and makes no sense. Is there anyway for the Encore chapter markers to act like clip markers so they move with edits?
If not, does someone have a plugin which would look at the Encore chapter markers in a sequence and place corresponding clip markers on Video 1. After editing, the plugin could re-align the Encore chapter markers with their respective clip markers.

What is needed are Encore Chapter Clip Markers so Encore markers follow the clip. Just as you would move the current-time indicator to the frame where you want an Encore chapter point and then right click (Windows) in the time ruler and choose the type of marker, a new context menu item "Encore Chapter Clip Marker" would be available which would place an Encore chapter marker on the clip in the currently selected video track. With this, one could edit the sequence and know the Encore chapter point is still at the same frame of the clip.
I encourage others to either copy this feature description or their own version and submit it to the Feature Request Page for Premiere.
Feature Request Page
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
One should submit this Feature to both Premiere and Encore since both are effected. By the way, Encore has a Feature Request user form you may also want to submit this to. Premiere does not appear to have a Feature Request user form so I used the Feature Request Page mentioned above.
