When you bring a higher than DVD resolution image into Encore, Encore downrezzes it to the project setting when you render the menu and/or build the project.
You can only avoid that if you make the background image the correct size. You can only avoid Encore rendering if you don't add any other elements other than highlights (the layers in photoshop with =1, =2 etc.).
If any of the images are part of a highlight layer, you get big problems; I don't think that is an issue for you.
Logos have often been scaled in various ways; I wonder if that could be having an effect.
But, I did not think the image looked that bad once it had it set to the DVD pixel size and was viewing it at the size.
You certainly do not get an accurate test viewing as your client was on a large computer monitor.
Create a test disk and view on an HD TV with an upscaling player. For me that is the modern, practical test.
The other test you might do is to take the logos out of the equation by making a menu with several fonts/sizes to simulate the text issue in the menu. DVD and small text are just not a winning combination. The logos may be scaled too small for so many on one screen.
When I build an autorun DVD with no menu (Encore CS5) and set the timeline as first play, the build test shows a "Title Remote Not Set" message... which I have always ignored and gone ahead with the project build to ISO (other than "not set" the only option in the Disc tab is for "Stop" which I don't think I want)
I have 2 DVD players, and neither remote control has a TITLE button, so I just figured I could ignore what seems to be a warning, not a real "error" that would stop the project
But... I'm curious... is there some part of the DVD specification that I'm missing, and will having the "Title Remote Not Set" cause some kind of problem?
I've never tested this, and had the same question. I almost always put a simple menu in a project even if first play is a timeline. So I just set the title remote to the menu.
Joe Bowden once explained one part of this as:
Title menu is the menu that comes up when you press the Title or Top Menu button on your DVD player remote control. Usually, you want your beginning menu to come up here. Set Title Remote in the Disc properties.
Based on that, I had assumed that the top menu button may function as a title button.
Richard Knight once said:
I have found if you don't set it with 'menu less' discs they won't play in most dvd players.
But, as you say, with no menu, your only option is "stop," and you probably don't want an inadvertent menu press to stop the disk.
>Richard Knight once said: I have found if you don't set it with 'menu less' discs they won't play in most dvd players.
Hmm... maybe I will switch my process and enter "stop" for the title remote... when sending a "quick" video to someone I would rather have it stop if they hit the wrong key... not refuse to play at all
<<Then just Import results (.m2v and .wav) into Encore and author. You should see "Do Not Transcode" next to the video, and audio will be "Automatic" and will transcode to Dolby Digital.>>
That worked.
For last night's lecture (2:05) I used Dynamic Link again and set the disc size to "Custom: 4.0 GB". Automatic successfully created a 4.54 GB DVD.
Oddly enough I thought I had a resolution to this. Yesterday I ran the Adobe Serialization Tool and it worked fine. Not working today.
Here are some other weird things Encore does in 23.976 projects.
I often produce a draft with burnt in code for a client and I've been in the habit of just replacing the asset in the final project provided there is no change in the running time. However pointing Encore to a new 23.976 asset will result in tat asset now being recognised as 29.97 by Encore. The timeline stays correctly flagged at 23.976P So on principle now I delete the old timeline and start from scratch.
The timeline reports a shorter duration than the assets (by about 5 seconds over 1 hr and 23 min on the project I'm currently working on) - I'm thinking maybe the DVD spec allows for playback at true 24 fps as opposed to 23.976P .. or it could just be the way Encore calculates time.
I'm impressed that Stan can remember me saying things that I don't remember saying myself- can he come and help me find my car keys!
They're under the sofa cushion; the one to the right of the TV!
I have cs6 premiere pro installed along with encore which I use for dvd authoring. 2 times in the last month it has asked me for a serial number when I try to launch encore. So then I install and reinstall and then it works. I would love to bypass reinstallation and just figure out why it needs a serial number, bc I don't have a serial number. Thanks

So they are!
I am attempting to build a DVD and during the build process towards the end of the process, the trancoding just stops. There is no error and the CPU utilization is still high but the application is not showing any changes. The first transcoding work well and completed quickly. Since then nothing system wise hs been change.

Thanks John.
I have googled & read some of the answers in the forums and will try some of those methods. Someone in my family tried to help by posting this question and they didn't realize I'd already been researching the issue. I don't know how to remove it or close the discussion though.
When selecting a chapter from the scene selection menu, I would like for the chapters to just keep playing to the end of the project. What setting do I choose or not choose? An end action? No end action? Thanks.
I linked to the next chapter in the "timeline", not the next chapter in the scene selection menu, seems to be working.
No end action.
I assume you have a timeline and it has chapters. You will have an end action on the timeline. You will have the default (no end actions) on the chapter markers. The scene selection buttons will link to each chapter you wish. When the chapter gets to an end, there is no end action, so it simply continues on.
I did not see your second post until I posted that.
If you mean that you are setting an end action on (for example) chapter 2 to go to chapter 3, why? For some players, that may create a pause.
It was odd. First chapter would just repeat itself. Even with overide "not set." Setting the other chapters now to "not set", working fine, but still the first chapter needs that overide link to move forward, yes, small pause. Thanks.
