Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
I made a short test BD disc that you can download and burn to view. It is a simple project with two menues, button transitions to every movie and button transitions before either one of the two movies and button transitions between the two separate menues.
On a softwareplayer, PowerDVD 17 i see no black frames between transition and i dont see any black frames between transitions on my BD Player, OPPO BDP-93, connected to my television. For me this disc is 100% seamless.
1. Download this zip file: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
2. Un-zip the file.
3. Burn the file to a BD disc.
4. View the disc.
Please report back your findings.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
That works smoothly on my BD player Averdahl. I had a disc working smoothly on a DVD, but when I moved the project to a BD it all failed. I'm also having an issue with the motion menu. It animates in like yours, but I can't get the buttons to respond when they pop on or if I do get them to respond, they are up the whole time. I've made many motion menus in the past so I'm not sure what's happening.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
How did you create each project in Encore, as separate projects or as one (1) project and then just used the Project Settings to switch between DVD and Blu-ray (or vice versa)?
Always create two projects, one for DVD and one for BD. For DVD, use SD assets and for BD use HD assets.
And, i had similar issues once and it was actually a black frame in one of the transitions. So import the menu assets into Premiere Pro and place them butt to butt on a matching timeline and playback and see if they playback without black frames to rule out the assets.
Also note when having issues with Encore the best and most time efficient way to solve the issue is to start a new project in Encore and re-build everything from scratch and never use Overrides.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
I have two separate projects with the correctly sized media for each one. However, I believe I did start with the DVD project and systematically replaced assets and timelines to get to the BD.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
The DVD version is behaving. The only issue I'm having on that one is the one I mentioned where the looping and buttons aren't cooperating.

That´s the issue. Create a new project from scratch.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
Tried that to no avail. Arrgggh.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
I never use Loop Points in Encore. I use separate assets, iow one asset for the fade in, one asset for the menu. By doing this i never have to use loop points. I found that this elliminate the black frame issue to 100%.
The drawback is that it takes some planning and it takes longer time and it is more assets to keep track of, to know what they do or don´t do. You can download the project i used to create the BD disc here: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
Unzip the file and open Averdahl_BD.ncor in Encore and locate the files located in the Menues folder. I use prefixes on my assets, 00 for intro/fade up, 01 for main menu, 02 for chapter menu, 99 for button transitions. This has helped me to keep track of the assets.
Open up the project and maybe you will find something that will help you with the issue.

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
Two differences in how my project is setup compared to yours. I had a timeline going from the intro animation to the main menu. You had a menu doing the same thing. The second difference was I'm using PSD static images for the menus instead of 10 second encoded movies. I'll try replicating your process and see if it helps.
One question, why do you have #20 loops and not "Forever" on the menus?

Encore says the project is too big, but it's not
Hi, have a DVD project that I built with the last version of Encore. Running of Mac High Sierra on 3.4 ghz i7, iMac
It's a tight fit. The project is 8.51 gigs for a dual layer 8.54 disc. But it fits and I burned half a dozen DVDs with Encore.
I just went back to the project and made a small change to the menu. Trying to burn a new disc using the same Pioneer BDR-XD05 burner, on the same computer and it keeps telling me the file is too big for the disc.
I've gone through a bunch of disc, as I thought it might have just been estimating.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Encore says the project is too big, but it's not
The 8.4 GB dual layer is actually 7.95GiB, so make sure it is actually not too small.
The other common issue is that each layer must be less than half (because it must fit, per the layer break on, one half or the other). How did you set the layer break?
Encore is notoriously unforgiving, and I would not be surprised, if all else is well, that it just can't adjust to the change - many projects have been fixed by creating them again in a new Encore project.

Re: Encore says the project is too big, but it's not
HI Stan,
When you say "fixed by creating them again" do you mean just like, saving as a new project or rebuilding the whole thing?
Yeah, crazy. It looks like it did actually burn a functional DVD just now, but it says it left "some data" out. The DVD's can't seem to navigate to the main menu from other menus when I hit the main menu button on a remote. But it can go to the main menu when I hit the main menu on the remote when I'm playing the film. Maybe that was the data that was left out? What do you think?
I've exported the DDP and I'm gonna send it to Discmaker. Do you think they will would be able to resolve the issue at their level?
Thanks for your help!

Re: Encore says the project is too big, but it's not
Yes, I mean a full rebuild. New Project with new name. You can import previous menus, but requires relinking etc.
Sounds like it lost the "title remote" but kept the settings for "menu remote" for timelines. You can ask Discmaker, but that is worrisome.
Did you note the exact error message/warning?

Re: Button Transitions create black flashes
One question, why do you have #20 loops and not "Forever" on the menus?
Old habit actually.
Regarding the 10 second encoded videos: I normally use 30 second or 60 second assets for my menues but did this as 10 seconds to keep the size of the project down.

We will have a USB DVD ENCORE
how to do to record a project edited in Premiere CC with option of navigation between chapters (Menu) to deliver to the client on a USB, since the pc are no longer being manufactured with DVD / BD driver - Sorry for my english, because I do not speak the language I used a translator
↧
Re: We will have a USB DVD ENCORE
Are they playing back on a TV? If so the answer is you can't.
If they are playing on the computer, you can use the Encore export to flash.
The TV would have to have a DVD emulator option, and I don't think there are any.
For home playback, I am using the Plex server, but you get their menu options that are simply selecting movies.

encore keeps freezing
anyone know why encore keeps freezing? im trying to make a dvd with a menu and after a couple of min of using it it freezes....ive tried restarting, updating etc
↧
Re: encore keeps freezing
More info re what steps you can complete if any.
For example, Can you create a new project? If you do nothing then, does it crash?
If you add a menu from the Encore library, does that work?
Can you import an asset?
What OS? I assume Encore CS6?
↧
Re: encore keeps freezing
Yes . Cs6 - yes I can create a new project, add a menu and import but once I dont think theres a certain point when it starts freezing it seems like its just after a few minutes of using the program
