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.

Can't Reinstall Encore CS4

Hi
After burning a DVD, Encore crashed - computer started rebooting. But after that Encore would no longer run. So I uninstalled Encore (which is part of my Master Collection CS4) but when I tried to reinstall Encore, it was no longer listed as one of the options in the installation menu.
Any help or assistance will be GREATLY appreciated!
Heidi

Heidi,
The only extra step should be the insertion of the original version's DVD, so that the installer can see that you have that. It will come, IIRC, when you plug in your S/N and the installer recognizes that it is an upgrade. Once that original installation disc has been recognized, you should be asked to reinsert the upgrade's installation disc.
Now, for the programs that you are uninstalling, make sure to Deactivate first. This is done from the Help screen, for all products that require Activation.
Good luck,
Hunt

Encore DVD 2 Tryout uninstall disabling optical drives

When I uninstall Encore DVD 2.0 Tryout version, my PC's optical drives get disabled. No other DVD/CD playing/writing software can access the drives.
I disabled the "enable recording to this drive" option, but it still gave the same problem. I reinstalled the Tryout version (though I cannot use the software itself), and found that the optical drives were then accessible. I tested this on another machine and the same happens.
I am using WinXP ProSP2 on both machines. One PC has a DVD-ROM drive and CD-RW drive using Roxio Drag-n-Disc for the recording, the other PC has a DVD-ROM drive and a DVD+/-RW drive using Sonic RecordPlus for the recording. Upgrading these software is not an option for me as they work fine for my needs when the optical drives are accessible.
I could just leave the EncoreTryout installation on the PCs, but they take up a lot of space for something I cannot even use.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the link -- it helped eventually. I tried the registry change given in the referred document, but it did not help me. The document actually did not directly address my problem -- my problem dealt more with uninstalling Encore rather than installing it. However, the document gave me an idea on how I could address the issue I had. In case this helps others, here's what I did to get some success:
1. Uninstalled all DVD burning software.
2. Installed Encore Tryout.
3. Installed Sonic RecordNow (my DVD burning software for that PC).
4. As everything worked fine, I copied the Registry key for the entry given in the above referred document.
5. Then uninstalled Encore Tryout. Of course, Sonic wouldn't work now.
6. Restored the Registry key that I copied in step 4 above.
7. Rebooted the PC, and Sonic works now! Hope it stays that way :-)
P.S. I don't think this is the best way to fix this issue, but faced with no other option than to reinstall Windows, this is the only solution that I could manage.
Thanks again.

Encore DVD...is XP really necessary?

I'm using W2K and have happily, and wilfully, avoided XP. But Adobe claims XP to be required for Encore.
Any idea on what might not work under W2K? Sure, I can get the OEM version for about GBP100, but I'd rather not give pirate Bill anything if I don't have to.
Anyone know who/where in Adobe I can contact for clarification?
Cheers

"And XP supports hyperthreading for the newer Intel CPUs, which W2K doesn't. "
Yes it does - ever since SP2 (or so I recall). I've got a dual Xeon Presonia system (Dell Precision 530) and with 1 Xeon & HT enabled W2K Pro sees 2 (virtual) processors & well threaded apps (i.e. from Adobe) make use of this very well. HOWEVER adding the second processor causes isssues with W2K pro because W2K Pro only licenses dual CPU systems & doesn't differential HT instances of processing from physical processors (Unlike Xp). When I dual boot to W2K Server it sees 4 processors & again Adobe apps scale well to make use of the leftovers offered by HT functionality (man it screams on Photoshop filters).
So W2K Pro does support HT but only in single CPU systems where HT is enabled. For dual systems one ahs to upgrade to W2K Server or AS or of course Xp Pro (where cpu's are counted physically rather than as HT instances of processors). FWIW - I may not be using Intel's or MS's specific terminology but my own in hopes of explaining.
Having said all that - has anyone tried dual booting between Xp and W2K? I prefer W2K (driver support) but might consider Xp Pro to run Encore DVD etc and test the waters. If Xp can be installed over W2K non invasively allow the use of either (obviously needing to reinstall drivers & apps for Xp) do they co-exist well? Wonder who's tried if anyone?
Thanks,
B

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

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.
720x480
Codecs: Mpeg video, Mpeg layer

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!!

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

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!

Encore DVD 4:3 or 16:9

Heelo Everyone,
I need a bit of a help.
I have a project but not sure what to do.I want to make DVD using Encore DVD.I have Several Video Clips which will be the DVD.
The problems are:
1.half of the video clips are 4:3 aspect ratio and the other half 16:9.So do i make a Encore project for 16:9 or for 4:3 ratio.I will be encoding the clips into DVD Mpeg-2 file so i will use Encore DVD only to compile the DVD.I dont know if i insert this files are they are 4:3 ration and 16:9 ratio in 16:9 project settings will that affect my 4:3 videos?I know that Encore has an option that if a widescreen dvd is inserted in 4:3 screen it will envelore the image .I would appreciate your help on this one.
2.All my videos are Progressive Scan.Do i need to convert them to interlace(because all commercial dvd are interlaced)?Which field should be first?I am in Europe.
Thank you very much

The Encore project setting does not set 16:9 vs 4:3. You can mix screen ratios, as long as you do not mix them on the same timeline.
The letterbox etc settings are generally set by the player, by telling it what your TV is.
DVDs save as interlaced, but they code it so you can play it as a progressive as long as the player supports it.

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.)

"File path not found" when opening an Encore DVD project made 2 years ago

Configuration:
XP SP3, Encore DVD CS3 coming from Creative Suite.
2Gb RAM, fast-enough-CPU, large-enough-harddisk (~70Gb space).
The project, as I remember, should has been made with Encore DVD 2.0 2 years ago.
The project file is placed on the C:\ with no invalid characters on the path or filename.
The message prompts when I try to open the project file and after some loading(1 sec).
I have been searching on the Internet for these problems on other people but there are no satisfactory solutions yet. Does anyone have the same issue?
Thanks!

ummm - I think this must be something like:

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,
Hunt
