Premiere subtitles to encore DVD

I have a sequence in Premiere CS3 with a video and an audio track with an speech in english.
I have another sequence with the same video and audio, but with subtitles in portuguese.
I want to export the first sequence to Encore, and only the subtitles of the second sequence to Encore too.
I´ve heard this is possible but I couldn´t find out in Encore help.
How can I do this?

Export from PPro as AVI, with settings appropriate to your area... NTSC or PAL
I second John's recommendation. That is my workflow.
My guess would be that your MPEG-2 Exports are not 100% DVD-compliant, or that the Export settings could be improved upon.
Good luck,

Premiere 5.0 Encore - DVD Hauptfilm in zwei Versionen

Hallo zusammen,
ch möchte einen Film in zwei unterschiedlichen Versionen auf die DVD bringen. Die eine Version soll ca. 20 Minuten lang sein, die andere über drei Stunden dauern.
Die erste Version soll ausschließlich Scenen aus dem langen Hauptfilm enthalten. Die erste Version ist also eine verkürzte Fassung.
Ich könnte natürlich in Premiere CS5 die einzelnen Sequenzen doppelt anlegen, aber das ist doch nicht der Sinn der Sache, oder? Wie kann ich einen Film in zwei Versionen auf eine DVD bringen? Was muss ich bei der Vorbereitung beachten?

Keine Ahnung, was du dir erhoffst. Um den Hauptfilm "verkürzt" auf DVD abzuspielen müßtest du tonnenweise Marker platzieren, von denen du aber maximal nur 99 hast, und diese dann in einer Playlist alle manuell verlinken. Das ist ein Haufen Arbeit. Außerdem tauchen dann besagte Marker wieder im "normalen" Hauptfilm auf und verhaglen dir da die Navigation. Und natürlich sind's nur harte Schnitte, die zudem aufgrund der MPEG-2 Kodierung nicht framegenau sind und die Sprünge können Hänger verursachen. Auf gut Deutsch gesagt: Es wäre bescheuert, es so zu machen. Schneide einfach eine verkürzte Version in Premiere und überleg dir auch mal, ob der Hauptfilm überhaupt 3 Stunden lang sein muß. Kein Mensch guggt sich langweilige Hochzeitsvideos oder Konferenzmitschnitte so lange an. Dann paßt auch alles auf eine DVD, ohne dass die Kompression alles häßlich macht...

Quality reduction from Premiere Pro to Encore DVD

I have 3 videos exported as mpgs from PPro that are 4GB, 1GB, 1GB. I was happy with the overall quality of those files. But when I imported them into Encore and burned a DVD, they only took up ~750MB of space on the disk. The quality of the DVD output was not nearly as crisp as the exported mpegs.
How can I get the best quality DVD output from my videos to transfer to Encore?
Thanks in advance

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.)

Integration of other Adobe products..Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD

Prior to obtaining CS2 I have been working with the other video/audio Adobe tools; Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD.
I fully expected to see integration of these products into the Bridge application after CS2 installation. I was disappointed, there does not appear to be any such integration. I do hope that this is in plan, and that I don't have to spend an "upgrade" fee to use integration that should have been there to begin with.
Even if there is no further integration, it would be nice to be able to continue using the Bridge as my "file manager" in the event I have to transfer my CS2 activation to another computer; after all I still have 4 licensed Adobe products installed on the machine, even if there not, quote, CS2 applications.

I can't use Bridge with my video products anymore. I have 3 systems in my personal development environment. I am now past the 30 day period before activation of CS2 is required on my video editing machine. Now I am no longer able to use Adobe Bridge with my other Adobe (video) products.
Also, now I've noticed that the next level of video products is available, they now have Bridge integrated. As I anticipated in my first append, I cannot continue using Bridge with my Adobe video products unless I spend more money for an upgrade. If the intention is to have Bridge become an integral tool in the creative process, this policy is short sighted. It can't be that difficult to bring out an update for the CS2 level of bridge that would enable it to work with users that have AE 6.5 or PPro 1.5 installed.

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

Premiere pro 1.5 and Encore DVD 2.0

I have Premiere Pro 1.5 but I like the new features of Encore DVD 2.0. Does any have any problems and/or comments if I upgrade to Encore 2.0, but still use Premiere 1.5. Especially around the areas of compatablity and importing.
Thanks in advance for your advice

Hi Roxanne,
I use Premier Pro 1.5 for all my video editing. I export my video files out of PP 1.5 as Microsoft AVI format into Encore 2.0 for DVD authoring without any compatibility problems. I use Encore 2.0 and it works great for me. Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Don

Help needed on Encore DVD 2.0 Transcoding Process!

Hi Guys,
I'm really first running Encore DVD 2.0 on WinXP SP2. My Computer is P4 3.0 GHz with 2 GB of Ram.
I have used Premiere elements converted the media file to 20GB .avi file ( 1.40 Hr duration) and exported to Encore DVD 2.0. In Encore, I have created menus, added subtitles and eveythingelse which needed for building disc. I've selected 1 Pass VBR which I believed it would make transcoding faster.
It is now in the transcoding progress ( Building disc), I have a feeling that I might did something wrong since the transcoding progress has been taking more than 8 hours. In the transcoding box, please see
http://www.maicans.com/images/Image.JPG
The upper bar has moved to and stayed like that since the beginning, only the lower bar is still moving.
Does anyone has any idea why it takes so much time for transcoding. Have I done anything wrong?
Thanks,
Bank Vichayotin

Maybe this will help:

Is there any way to EXTRACT subtitles from a DVD?

Is there any way to EXTRACT subtitles from a DVD? My ultimate goal is to convert an existing DVD into a flash file for web use. It has subtitles which I want to retain. I have tried pulling the DVD files (.VOB) and encoding them to .wmv.
I was thinking perhaps I could import the DVD into Premiere, Encore, etc. I am able to pull the DVD video files off but the subtitles track/file is NOWHERE to be found.
Any ideas?

You cannot do this with Adobe tools. The subtitles are a separate image stream inside the vob.
As with any third party or Adobe tools, I assume you are using them for legal purposes.
Try the following link for a description of a process used. I have not used this tool. It is one of many, but I thought the description was useful.
http://www.booki.cc/avidemux/extract-dvd-subtitles/
The easier way to do this is to get the subtitle file from the creator. However, many DVDs are created using a script image file, the person authoring the disk may not have a text file of the subtitles, and I don't think you can use an image subtitle file for flash subtitles.

Can't activate my older version of Encore DVD 2.0

My computer died. Got my computer running and trying to re-install and activate Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 but the activation server is down for that. Adobe doesn't activate ver 2.0 anymore. They want you to upgrade to Encore 6.0. I don't have the money to upgrade and I want to use my ligimate bought copy of Encore DVD 2.0. Followed a thread and found out others got phone calls from the support team with a authorization code to activate it. The forum said they updated Adobe's internal documentation so that support agents could help others with this same issue. However, I tried to get the same help with no luck. I still want to use my 2.0 version because it works and I don't see a need, nor do I have the money to upgrade. I have a legal ligimate store bought copy. Why should I have to buy another version? If others are being helped with their Encore DVD 2.0, why can't I?

I suspect that what you were seeing was re Premiere and other CS2 applications.
Encore was not CS2; just a plain "2" application.
I cannot find a download of version 2; 1.5 and then it was first bundled with Premiere CS3.
Call support and see if they'll give you an old version of CS3!

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.

Encore DVD to Encore CS3

I have a DVD that was created with the Premiere 2.0 and then into Encore DVD. Now I need to make this same DVD into a BluRay. I have the new Encore CS3 but it is not letting me open the file.
Any hope of this working?
I also I cannot open the old Premiere file into CS3. Is there a way around this.
Thanks,
ms

Unless you still have the original, untranscoded AVI files, then forget it. Seriously.
And if you need to make more than a couple of burned copies, forget it.
You cannot replicate Blu Ray created in Encore CS3 - the plants will
i not
accept the discs.

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS5 and DVD authoring

I have a reoccuring problem with Premiere Pro and authoring DVDs. This is how it goes.
I shoot a video using a Canon 5D Mark III. 1080p 24.
I then edit in Premiere Pro CS5, with proper settings on the sequence which are the preset Digital SLR > 1080p > DSLR 1080p24.
Everything is hunky dory.
Then I have to export...and the frustration ensues...
I export using the HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality export preset with the H.264 export codec. This gives me a decent .mp4
I then bring this file into Encore and author the dvd. I used the regular dvd and the blue ray export settings as a test, but the video always ends up looking horrible with artifacts all over the place, especially on areas of high contrast. It looks like a badly compressed .jpg.
This happens at various times when exporting animation/motion graphics from After Effects also. When I use a ramp in the background, the gradient is often very banded...
When I rent a movie from the video store, the images and type look good on whatever i play the dvd on or watch it through. When I burn a dvd, it looks universally bad using all kinds of players on all kinds of monitors, projectors, etc...
Can anyone lead be in the direction of an article or video that will thoroughly explain this so i can learn it once and for all?
Thanks in advance.

Jim, lol.
Thanks everyone as usual.
So, should my composition settings for after effects be set to 24 or 23.976 and can i render them as 16 bit?
Will this reduce the banding and artifacts along with using dynamic link? Or will it ultimately be 8 bit by the time the dvd is burned and go back to the banding....?

Titles on linked Pr sequence not appearing on Encore DVD?

I have a sequence linked from Pr pro CS5 to Encore CS5. I have added titles to video track two in the Pr sequence. They link up just fine in En. When I preview disc in En, the titles come in and fade out just as planned. All looks great. However, when I burn the project to DVD, there are no titles on the DVD??? I saved the Pr project, even rendered it prior to creating DVD in En CS5. I have done this process twice. Both times no titles on DVD. What am I missing??
Thanks very much for advice. This is a once a year project, so sorry I have to re-learn many things again...and again.
Kenny

UPDATE:
Anyone have any ideas of things I could test? As I stated, the disc when played in my PC shows the titles, just not on two different stand alone DVD players I have?
Stan, you mentioned source/sequence settings? Is there something specific I could provide?
So you know what I did to create these titles. In Pr, working with the sequence I have dynamically linked to En in the timeline. In Project panel, new item, title. Then edit title and drag to video track two in timeline, set keyframes for fade in/out.
To make my next title, in title edit window, New Title Based on Current Title, rename it, edit, drag that to timeline etc.
These titles show in En when previewing disc and on burned disc played on PC as stated.
Stuck in the mud?
Thanks for any/all suggestions!
Kenny

Subject: Titles on linked Pr sequence not appearing on Encore DVD?
I would build to a folder and see if that plays correctly on the computer. (Rule out disk/burning issues.)
Do a small test project if the files are large, but bring the same bit out of Premiere with no fades on the titles. Do they burn?
I wonder about your source/sequence settings.
I always find such problems very odd.

Premiere CC to Encore CS6 (bitrate?)

* A few times my media has been to big to fit the Disc (DVD & Bluray 25) when I export multiple Sequences from Premiere CC via AME to Encore CS6. Other times it looks like I could have upped the Bitrate/Quality Settings a little bit more and it would still have fit.
Premiere CS6 to Encore CS6:
I would Dynamic Link my Sequences and select 'Auto' Transcode Settings in Encore. This seemed to evaluate all of the media in the project and adjust the Bitrate/Quality Settings so everything fit the Disc.
Premiere CC to Encore CS6:
I have been exporting from Premiere CC via AME but guessing at the correct Bitrate/Quality Settings.
Since Dynamic Link is no more...
- What is the recommended way of figuring out the optimal Bitrate/Quality Settings for your media going to disc?

You could use a bitrate calculator.

Yep... that's exactly what I thought they were forcing us to do. I just got used to doing it the 'lazy' way. I went with Bitrate Calculator Lite: www.bitratecalculator.com as I'm not always connected to the www.
