Matrox .264 assets in Encore CS5

Hi,
Question #1.
110 min of HD video 1920x1080 Matrox .264 file exported from Premiere timeline using Matrox MXO2 Mini with MAX. Using bit rate calculator http://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php for Blu-ray disc it came out 28500kb/s. Final size of Matrox .264 video - 21.6GB, AC3 audio - 150MB. After I imported to Encore those assets, under BUILD tab Disc Info tells me 26.67GB. HOW COME???
Question #2.
Size of BD disc selected BD-R 25 GB. If I do Check Project - NO ERROR. After I build the BD .ISO image - massege build failed, not enough spase.
WHY it did not tell me when I did CHECK PROJECT???

Hi,
Sometimes AuthorScript session files get corrupted and Encore throughs error code 3.
You can burn your project after removing all the files from -
Project folder\AuthorScriptHDMVSessions\ .
If this does not solve this issue then please upload error message screenshot.
Thanks,

Loop a video asset in Encore CS5

I need to be able to add over 100 short video assets to a project and have each video play continuously until the next button it hit on a remote which will advance to the next video in the list. Is this possible? I need each video to loop as it will play at an event and we don't know how long the video will need to play until we need to advance to the next section/video. Last time I had to do this I just repeated the video clip for a really long time so that we would be ensured that it would not advance to the next video, But I feel sure there is a better way to do this.

What you need is scripting, which Encore does not provide.
I would play with putting each video on its own timeline. Use multiple menus to branch. Use 4:3 menus even if the videos are 16:9, so you can get more buttons on a screen. You cou ld try making them black so they might not jar with the different aspect ratio of the videos. Use very short transitions and/or motion on the menus to make the menu appearance less disruptive. (Trade off with number of menus re the 1 gig limit for menus.)
For many of the videos, you are now 2 clicks away: click one "menu" (the menu option that will take you to the previous menu), then use the remotge control numbers to select the next track.
When submenu 1 is exhausted, you go back to main menu (title menu), and select submenu 2.
Yes, the operator must know what they are doing.

To Adobe, Are We Going to See a Fixed Encore CS5?

I am posting this as a long time Adobe user. I have installed the CS5 suite and am using Encore CS4 because when I import pre-encoded Blu-ray assets into Encore CS5 it says the disc is full. The assets are not too large to fit on a Blu-ray.
I see a lot of problems posted in this forum and the general attitude is wait until a fix or CS6... Well that is what was said about CS4...
I have submitted an error report on this issue a few weeks ago. It would be nice to know if anything was being worked on as upgrades are supposed to be an evolution of the product. Pardon my frankness but Encore seems as if it is an afterthought compared to the rest of the CS suite.
Thank you.

$400.. Yikes?
I've been a long time beta tester and hadn't kept up with the retail price. I purchased the full version when I first started using it back in the Passport days, I think it was $299 back then.
I see the cheapest thing they have is "MusicTime Deluxe" (Encore Lite) which is $120, oh well, I should've checked the price first.
There's also the free:

Why do Encore CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 have intermittant Sync issues?

I am noticing that Encore CS5 is "buggy" regarding sync issues with material edited by Womble and Corel Video Studio and I am guessing other programs as well?
In high definition I take AVCHD and edit in Corel Video Studio. If I leave the project as one single 42 minute segment and import this asset into Encore CS5, more often than not there are bad sync issues. To get around this I have to divide the 42 minute project into approximately 6 smaller ones- Each smaller asset ends where I had done the editing. Encore does not have any problems now with these 6 smaller assets.
In standard definition I edit in Womble and export as a MPEG2 Program. Sometimes Encore has a problem with the asset sync and sometimes it does not. (I am guessing about 20% of my assets end up with a problem). The same asset if brought into TMP or brought back into Womble does not have any sync issue. If brought into Premiere Pro CS5 it will exhibit the same behavior as Encore- If Encore has a sync problem, so will Premiere Pro. So to get around this I then have to go back to the original womble file and break it up into smaller pieces, at every edit point I cut and export the smaller file just after the end of the transition I applied. With a 6 hour project I may end up with dozens of small files to get around this problem- not very efficient.
Any ideas how to fix this or why Encore is so buggy? Would moving the original assets around in Womble- example taking something that was at the end of the timeline and then moving it to the beginning cause these issues for Encore? Or is there some other cause?
Encore CS5

I've used VideoReDo in the past, which I believe has some similar strategies to Womble. I found when I tested streams, that there were often problems in the source streams, and that the fix was not 100 percent.
You may also find such files that are not 100 percent the same length video to audio.
In any event, the possibility other than Encore being buggy is that the files you are bringing in have problems when Encore tries to validate them. I'm not saying Encore doesn't have its problems, but clean mpeg files do not have sync issues ordinarily.
For some scenarios, I like your workflow (edit mpeg files in a frame accurate mpeg editor that is not retranscoding the whole file), but the results are often not consistent.
You don't say, and I would certainly look at, the nature of the audio stream you are using. I can not tell you what the problems are, but some streams just do not edit well, even though they may play back okay in some players, but still have issues in Encore and/or Premiere.

Audio will not conform in Encore CS5

I had to replace the audio file in Encore CS5 as it wouldn't fit on a 4.7 DVD. I exported out of Premiere Pro and rendered as an ac3. I have replaced the asset in Encore CS5 but it will only conform about 1/5 of it and then stops. Any ideas?

Issue with Adobe Encore CS5.1 and Matrox MAX H.264 encoding on Windows

Here's some information on an issue that we've identified with Matrox products and Encore CS5.1:
"Issue with Adobe Encore CS5.1 and Matrox MAX H.264 encoding on Windows"

Still flickering on Encore even when rendered in MPEG-2 DVD in Pemiere Pro CS5.5. Looks perfect in Premiere Pro.
Any other ideas?

Encore CS5 crashes on importing assets

I am running CS5 on a fresh install with Windows 7/ 64 bit with 8GB RAM on 2.66GHz quad CPU, NVidia GeForce 8800GT video card with latest video drivers. I also have a Matrox MX02 Mini installed. Photoshop CS5 and PremierePro CS5 so far work perfectly. Encore CS5 will run but crashes when I try to import an asset. It doesn't matter what kind of an asset it is (wav, mp3, avi, mpg, etc.), it will crash. Encore will show a window which says "Preparing Transcoding Settings", tries to import the aset, says that it has 20 or 30 minutes to go (even for tiny files), and then it crashes. The crash involves that same message window blinking for a while (looks weird), and then the program crashes and an error message appears. I am running the latest CS5 updates from Adobe (updated today). However, the crashing of Encore CS5 happened even before today's update. I need to burn a DVD pronto but I'm stuck. Please help.

Sorry when I see disappointment and frustration and when I see someone's going to leave Adobe.
I have your same "gear" and everything works ok.
Just in case you haven't jet done it:
-download Encore update and leave it on your desktop
-uninstall completely the suite and eventually all third plug-ins
-run Adobe cleaner or go to register and clear everything that mentions your suite
-re-start your pc
-re-install your suite with every antivirus and/or antiadware, spyware switched off (obviously don't stay connected with internet)
-after that update your Encore
-swith on your antiviruses and re-connect with internet
-let Adobe Updater modify your other applications.
See what happens.
Apply one by one your third plug-ins
If this will work you had to give me a pizza
Don't forget to run your applications as administrator

Premiere CS5 h.264 export file and TMPGEnc Express 4.0 won't accept but Encore CS5 will accept, why?

I have just exported a sequence of video in h.264 and TMPGEnc Express 4.0 won't accept the file. I have used CS3 before and works fine. It will work with Encore CS5 though. When I rename the extension file from .m4v to .mp4, it imports fine to TMPGEnc Express 4.0, why?

Encore CS5 turning my 264 menus into MPEG2...why?

Blu Ray authoring on a Mac using Encore CS5.
Video is compressed in Apple Compressor 3.5 as H264 and all is well until I build the project. Encore then takes my 264 encoded menus and recompresses them into MPEG2 making them play back herky jerky and they look like poop. The buttons still work, but the menu's video is unacceptable.
All the other video in the project stays as .264 and looks fine. I have the project set up as H264. Anything I could be missing here (other than the deadline)?

They're legal streams just like all the other H264 files in the project that play back fine.
I can set them to Don't Transcode.
They still come out converted to MPEG when the disc is burned and I can verify this when playing the disc back as everything except the menus shows up as AVC.
I wouldn't even care that much if the files get converted, but they stutter and jitter and generally look horrible.

ProRes to Blu-Ray H.264, then Preview problems in Encore CS5

Hello all,
I've been taking 90 minute or so ProRes 422 QuickTimes (29.97 interlaced) into Media Encoder CS 5 and creating H.264 Blu-Ray files for use in Encore CS5. I'm using the 1080i maximum quality setting and adjusting it so that target bitrate is 25mbps and max is 30. Also doing 2-pass VBR.
The issue I'm having is when I import these files into Encore CS5 and then preview them in a timeline they are artifacting all over the place. They look like my cable signal when it breaks up, except through the entire program. I've re-transcoded in the Media Encoder and am having the same issue. I've also tried transcoding within Encore (which is really the same thing), and still it persists. I haven't made a BD-R yet to check that and I know the preview in Encore CS 5 is very buggy. But I'm wondering -- has anyone run into this? Is this just a preview problem, or is there something actually wrong with the transcodes?
Also, if anyone has a tip for where I can open the *.m4v files coming out of Media Encoder so that I can check them somewhere other than in Encore that would be awesome. VLC player doesn't work, neither does QuickTime. Thanks everyone!
Best,
JD

Jeff,
Thanks for the response. Here are the answers to your questions:
Some obvious but necessary checks:
Are you authoring in a Blu-ray project and not a DVD project? YES, it is a 1080i 29.97 Blu-Ray project.
Are you checking the transcode status column for Blu-ray and not DVD? Definitely looking at the transcode status for Blu-Ray, and not DVD.
If all is OK with those checks, then please check the audio:
Are the files multiplexed? If so, try elementary streams.
Are you using elementary streams? If so, try multiplexed.
On these notes -- what is a good way for me to know if the transcoded files are multiplexed or elementary? The interesting thing is that when I bring in the M4V and WAV files into Encore from what AME creates, the WAV file does NOT require transcoding, but the video file (M4V) does.
Regarding the preview issue I was having it's worth noting that when I checked back in preferences the playback quality was still set to DRAFT, as if when I switched it to HIGH it just didn't take (and I tried this more than once). I put it to HIGH again today and this time it seems it took, as preview playback quality is good again. Just seems strange to me that Encore has a mind of it's own sometimes with certain things.
I'm really more concerned with the transcoding at this point. I did a project a couple weeks back where I just bit the bullet and transcoded the M4V again in Encore to author the ISO file, and several chapters of the program came out stuttering on the disc. The original Quicktime source is fine and the preview playback on it was fine during those chapters. I can't seem to find a throughline for these problems -- just seems to happen every now and then and can't control it.
I authored a 53 minute 1080p 23.98 disc in early January that worked beautifully. Everything was great - no problems.

Encore CS5 constantly locks up/freezes working with large H.264 file

This is driving me mad, I'm trying to author my first Blu Ray with this program, a single layer output with H.264/AVC video. I've encoded the video elsewhere and I have a 21GB .264 file. It's a BR legal file but as soon as I import it into Encore CS5 the fun and games begin. Firstly it takes a good five minutes to import and Encore appears to have crashed. Finally though it does import and looking at 'Blu Ray transcode' it says 'Don't transcode', so it's a legal file. However if I then try to do anything with the file in Encore, like add it to a timeline the whole program locks up again. 10 minutes later it's added as a timeline but trying to navigate that timeline to add chapters is impossible, the program locks up (Not responding) if I try and move the slider or pretty much do anything. It means making a BR with this file is pretty much impossible.
My PC spec is as follows:
Core i5 2500k 3.3Ghz
8GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM
120GB Crucial SSD boot drive with Encore installed on
500GB Hard Disk & 2TB Hard Disk
Windows 7 64-Bit Home Premium
Is there anything I can do to actually make Encore usable with this large file and finally finish authoring a disc? I've tried loading the file from all three drives and it's the same. The media cache is currently on my 2TB drive because I want to save space on my SSD and minimize writes to it.

Taking 5 minutes to import is normal. Encore has to index the entire file so it knows where the keyframes are. Don't try to do anything while that's happening.
Once in, however, Encore should respond normally. At this point, I'm drawing a blank as to why it isn't.

Encore CS5, BluRay H.264 and Profiles

I find in the manual that Encore is only allowing Main profile H.264 files to be used untranscoded. Yet, everywhere I have read and learned about H.264, the ideal way to get the best compression is to use the high profile and a level of 4.1. In fact, this is the most common preset in most encoders for BluRay preset H.264 encoding.
So, what gives?   Is Adobe really going to force me to transcode my H.264 high profile footage?   This is odd since one of the transcode templates in AME as instanced from Encode (1920x1080i hihg quality) is preset to high profile, level = 4.1
I guess it is OK for AME to transcode it when triggered from Encore... but not anywhere else. For example, use this same AME preset from PPro, import the resulting H.264 file into Encore, it wants to transcode it...   very frustrating.
I have an encoder that I feel is superior to the one in AME and it has the same template settings as the BluRay presets in AME. Encore won't take them...
Am I missing something here?

I agree with your comments. Any experience with BDR media and 25m rates on players?
As much of my material is mid-band, or darker...   I am worried about banding that I see in X.264. Also a lot of footage I shoot is interlaced due to the high motion of the event. So, I am in a bad place. I have a lot of mid-band footage that has a lot of motion in it. I could go to 30p, but I don't alway like how it looks when some of the events are fast moving.
I am open to investing in a solid H.264 encoder if it gives me what I want...
Every burn I've done to TDK BD-R50B or Sony BD-RE50 has played fine in my PS3, with rates as high as 40mbit/s (burst for a minute or so, not the entire project). So I can't comment on lower-quality media, because it's all worked for me thus far.
Like I said, I've done interlaced with x264 just fine, but the x264 developers claimed (as of three months ago, anyway) that interlaced encoding was "broken" so you author with such output at your own risk. 1080i @ 29.97 works for me on powerdvd9 and a real PS3, all 60 fields present, using the following batch file:
x264 --crf %3 --preset veryslow --weightp 1 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --level 4.1 --keyint 30 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --tff --aud --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --sar 1:1 %1 -o %2
Called like this: batchfile.bat infile.avi outfile.m4v NUM
...where NUM is the crf number I want to use (I use 16 unless the files get too large). If you're trying to keep maximum bitrate down then this is not what you want to use, use the one with bitrate contols on the website URL in my last post. My input footage was upper-field-first, hence the "--tff" in the above example.
One note on large files and dual-layer media: Don't create a file larger than about 24G. Otherwise Encore and other programs will blow a gasket (in my experience) when it comes time to try to place the layer break, which it can't do because the file goes over the layer size.
There are good commercial programs that can produce H.264 content, but they range from $700 to $8000. I've used some of them, and they do have significant advantages if you want to re-encode certain sections with different bitrate targets, but generally most of my work can be serviced just fine using AME or x264.

Encore CS5 Blu-Ray Preview Playback Issues / Authoring Issues

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Encore CS5 on a Mac Pro (Nehalem) 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon w/ 8 GB Ram on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I've recently upgraded to CS5 after having no luck using CS3 to make Blu-Ray discs. So far my experience has been a little disappointing -- it feels like they still haven't got it right. Below is a list of my issues thus far -- perhaps some of you have run into similar things:
- When importing MATROX encoded H.264 Blu-Ray files Encore CS5 hangs up. I tried this with a 54 minute encoded file. Instead I re-transcoded using the CS5 Media Encoder to the Main Concept H.264. This worked fine, although the import still hung up for several minutes before anything made it's way into the project.
- When I try opening my already existing project with a 54 minute video inside it hangs up and takes as long as 3-5 minutes to finally open successfully. This seems to happen consistently.
- After rendering motion menus and rendering them in the project the playback preview stutters. It's very steppy throughout as the video plays in the background. I even tried authoring a disc and playing it in a Blu-Ray player -- it did the same thing once authored. I've tried re-encoding the video in Media Encoder and have found the problem persists. Has anyone else experienced this with motion menus? By the way, I'm transcoding @ 25mbps (max 30mbps) in the Media Encoder.
- While trying to re-author my Blu-Ray the playback preview does not play audio on the main video when I click to play it. I've tried re-importing the asset and previewing but this does not work. I'm going to re-author the disc anyway to see if it plays right on the disc but can't understand why the preview doesn't work even if the Blu-Ray itself is fine (which it is). I should add that the first time I authored this disc the audio was fine on the main video. Preview was also fine. So I'm not sure what's happening now - I haven't changed anything in the project.
- Portions of my video on the authored video play back with slight stutter even though the source video (ProRes HQ QuickTime) does not. Is this a problem with the Main Concept H.264 encode? Should I try a 2-pass VBR transcode as another try (instead of 1-pass)? My target bit rate is 25 mbps (with a max of 30 mbps). That shouldn't be too high for a player to handle without stutter. The stutter also happens in the same place every time so it makes me think it's the encode of the file itself that's the problem.
All in all these are mainly quirks about Encore that have begun to add up and frustrate me as a user. It would be nice if these things just worked as they should. But if anyone has ideas or can think of something I might be missing in all of this that would be great to hear.
Thanks for reading.
All the best,
JD

As a follow up, I tried knocking down the number of chapters by 1/3 so there would be a total of 28 chapters instead of 41. As it turns out, the disc is still exiting the timeline and returning to the main menu at exactly the same point (which happens to be one second into a particular chapter of the timeline, just shy of 90 minutes into the timeline). It's as if Encore has split my single timeline into two timelines.
If it's of any help understanding what's happening, the entire timeline is 02;05;23;21 long. When Encore creates the Blu-ray disc, playback of the timeline ends at approximately 01;26;43;10. I then have to go to my Scenes menu and pick up where I left off as it's the only way to see the last ~39 minutes of the sequence.
As I mentioned, if I burn this as a standard definition (4.7GB) disc, it plays normally with no breaks. It's only if I burn it to a 25GB single-layer Blu-ray disc that I see the problem (using multiple Blu-ray players).
Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this problem.

How do I best compress a multi file project in Encore CS5 to fit a standard DVD?

Hello,
I have created a series of small films in Final Cut Pro X, they have been exported as seperate audio and video tracks, ac3 audio and mpeg video from the presets in FCPX.
I want to use Encore CS5 to create DVDs out of them and I have used it before but only know the basics. The problem is that after I import all the media files, that I want on the first DVD, as assets and put them on the timeline it adds up to 7.23 GB, even though the time is just under 2 hours. I know that that might be pushing it a little bit in regards to the amount of time that I can fit on a regular 4.7 GB DVD, but it should't take up that much space. I removed a bunch of files from the timeline to see what I could fit and only got just under 1 hour. I can see that it is possible to decrease the file sizes, for instance by going to 'file'-'edit quality presets' and doing stuff there, but 'm not sure of the best way to do that.
In other posts I have seen mentions of encore compressing files to fit automatically, but what i want is a way to fit all the video files, not the audio i guess, to a dvd with minimum quality loss. does anyone know the best way to do this?
the only thing i can think off is either to use more DVDs than I feel that I should have to, or to burn a 7.23 GB image and then shrink that using soomething like DVD shrink, but that seems unecessary.
So I have a feeling that there is a smart way to do this and would appreciate any help.
Thanks. Nik

hello,
Firstly: John, if I export as a .mov and then import to Encore and transcode there will that mean that the file will be shrunk with minimum quality loss? because the .mov file i get using a simple movie export is massive.
below follows my findings and more questions. I suppose I should maybe be moving over to a FCPX & Compressor 4 forum. I think I need to do some studies on Bitrate here.
I tried the option of automatic transcoding in Encore to fit all files on a DVD and the results weren't terrible, in fact they are almost good enough, but not quite. it's sequences with fast movement that really are affected. So Stan, not much difference.
the problem is that the footage i am working with is pretty poor quality to start with. I am working with a bunch of Super 8 family films that have been scanned on to DVDs.
In FCPX a film that is 32 Min Pal SD 25p surround sound keeps coming out way to big. Below are some examples:
-When I export directly from FCPX as a movie (.mov) with the simple export settings and 'keep current settings' the file ends up being a massive 11.16 GB! With all other setting options the file is also expected to be very big ranging from something like 2.3 GB to 23GB.
-When I send it to Compressor 4 and choose the 'SD video sharing' option for uploading online it ends up at 1 GB. These are the settings and summary:
Name: SD Video Sharing
Description: SD for upload to web sharing sites such as YouTube and Vimeo
File Extension: mov

Adobe Encore CS5.1 producing DVDs with flickering video

Hey all, new to the forums but been using Adobe software for a couple of years now.
I've got Encore CS5.1 as part of the Adobe Master Collection CS5.5, and recently I've been using it to burn DVD videos.
I made a video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 a few weeks ago and rendered it as an mp4 file in h.264 HDTV 24fps (video recorded with my Nikon D3200 D-SLR). I then imported the mp4 file into Encore as an asset (I didn't use Dynamic Link to insert the prproj file into Encore) and burned it onto a 4.7GB DVD (no menus or anything, just a simple DVD) and it looked absolutely fine on both my PC and on the TV and the recipient of the DVD was very happy with the result. The video was 28 minutes long and 6.2GB in size.
Recently I have been making more videos in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and attempting to burn them onto DVDs using Encore CS5.1, but I've not been having so much luck.
Whenever I create a DVD with Encore, the video playback is always a bit 'flickery' no matter how I import the video into Encore (have tried using both Dynamic Link and importing the mp4 file as an asset - both result in the same problem). The video playback results in flickering lines and it's really distracting. Again, I am rendering in mp4 h.264 HDTV 24fps and burning onto 4.7GB DVDs. If I watch the video in Encore on the Monitor, it also looks a bit flickery with lines showing. The video I am trying to burn onto a DVD is 25 minutes long and 4GB (but Encore transcodes it so it's just over 1GB in size I think).
I am also trying to burn another video onto a DVD which again is rendered in h.264 but is 48 minutes and 11GB in size (Encore transcodes it so it's about 2.5GB) and the same thing happens: flickery lines which is really distracting.
I did briefly have a trial version of CS6 installed and I rendered the video again in Premiere Pro CS6 and tried burning to a DVD using Encore CS6, but still got the same results. I don't have CS6 now, I installed it purely to see if CS5.5 was the problem.
I don't understand why the first video I burned to DVD using Encore was perfect and now it seems to be giving me flickery video once it's burned to a DVD whenever I use it.
I have updated it to version 5.1.0.342 which at the time of writing is the latesrt version of CS5.1.
If anybody out there could help me that would be great, thanks!

Still flickering on Encore even when rendered in MPEG-2 DVD in Pemiere Pro CS5.5. Looks perfect in Premiere Pro.
Any other ideas?
EDIT: Was looking for Google for people with similar problems to me and I came across this http://forums.adobe.com/message/3959757?tstart=0
I am currently re-rendering the video in PAL DV Widescreen MPEG-2 DVD and using maximum render quality.
