Sounds like your frame is too small...</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-make-blu-ray-disk-using-adobe-encore#post-47908 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:45:42 +0000 asadovnikov 47908@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I captured HD 1080i footage from Sony FX1000, used Abobe Premier Pro to edit it and Adobe Encore to authorise disk. First I produced DVD and its quality was very good. Then:</p> <p>1) I imported timeline from PP into Encore using Adobe Dynamic link (same step as for DVD).</p> <p>2) I selected "blu-ray" in Encore "built" window and created BluRay Disk image. To my surprise, the size of BD image was only 2.2 times larger (10.1GB vs 4.5GB) then the size of DVD image (I expected ~5x difference). However, I did not find any knobs in Encore to change the size/quality.</p> <p>3) I burned image onto Panasonic BD-R media using Power2Go software and LG GGW-H20L writer.</p> <p>4) Watched it using Sony BDP-S360 BR player and SONY HD projector connected through HDMI.</p> <p>It worked! - but: the quality of BD picture was not better (maybe - even worse) than the quality of DVD picture.</p> <p>Player and projector work O.K. becasue they show amaizing picture from Hollywood BluRay discs.</p> <p>My questions are:</p> <p>1) Why I do not see quality improvement on my BD compared to DVD?</p> <p>2) Why this disk is recognizedonly by 2 out of 5 BluRay players that I have tryed?</p> <p> </p> <p>Than you in advance,</p> <p>Alexei</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/btn-hot-zonehit-state#post-44063 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:24:20 +0000 jerronsmith 44063@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I don't think so. I believe that Encore reads the entire photoshop layer as a part of the button.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/btn-hot-zonehit-state#post-44034 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:56:44 +0000 PHASEII 44034@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi </p> <p>I am making a dvd menu with an active area and an image to be displayed when the button is highlighted. Encore sees this highlighted image as a button, therefore it interferes with the other buttons on the menu. Is there a way of specifying the hit state for a button so it doesn't include this highlighted image? </p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/two-adobe-questions#post-43392 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:32:19 +0000 chuckengels 43392@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You need to go into the main menu of Media Player, Tools/Options/Burn and set it up first.  Take a look at all of the options tabs and make sure everything is set up correctly as you want it.  I have burned dozens of CDs with Media Player and no problems with quality or anything else ;)</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/two-adobe-questions#post-43391 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:40:43 +0000 chrisColorado 43391@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks guys!</p> <p>Chuckengels: I've used Windows Media player for CDs and it stinks!

So if I export these videos at a lower maximum bit rate it might work?? The target bitrate that they were exported at was 2.0.   I would really like to know if I can have this DVD just play as a DVD-rom specifically for the computer. This is a very large project as far as sizes goes and requires a dual Layer DVD</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/encore-quality-issueshelp-me#post-39365 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 02:27:45 +0000 BarefootMedia 39365@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'd suggest you try decreasing the bit rate of the MPG2 files you are writing to the DVD.  Computers have to emulate the actions of a DVD player while maintaining the bit rate off the DVD.  If your DVD doesn't have a lot of video on it, the usual default of DVD authoring software is to use the maximum bit rate for DVD players.  But decreasing the default bit rate will let the computer keep up with the video output.</p> <p>You might also want to check out how many background activities your computer is busy with.  A friend of mine had the video playback on his computer grind to a halt.   As it turned out, he'd installed an animated wallpaper which was monopolizing his processor cycles.  So you may want to try playing the DVD on a faster computer to see how it works there.</p> <p>Good luck with your project.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/encore-quality-issueshelp-me#post-39363 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 02:10:15 +0000 dfxoutlaw 39363@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> So I am authoring this DVD for an online education community who sells DVD's to aspiring VFX and Game artists....So a mass majority of these DVD's will be played on the Computer.  I have everything ready to go and Encore gives me no errors.....All my video is exported at 640 X 480 to maintain proper aspect ratio of the tutorials on the DVD...the pixel aspects of everything including the Menus are square pixels..... When I play this project on the using any of the DVD player software on the computer I get very bad pixelation....is this because of the Burning process itself? The dvd plays good on the regular DVD player with the exception of the video getting cut off in the safe areas... What do I need to do to have these play at a high quality on the computer?? Has anyone else had this issue?

My issue is that when I create the menu and preview it in Encore, it works just fine. However, once I burn the DVD onto a DVD and put it in my DVD player, some of the menu selections are skipped over. I have some working menus that I have no problems with. I even copied them and just replaced the information and it did not work. I created custom menus in Photoshop because I wanted some specific text effects.
