InactiveI have spent around 200 hours creating my first masterpiece in 1.5. I go to export to DVD and it ‘encounters’ a problem at Assembling and stops. So I purchased CS4 and that just refuses to open my 1.5 project.
I have managed to export to file AVI from 1.5 and I thought I would put it through Encore and out to DVD…BUT each time I start Encore it tries to ‘Transcode’ something and hangs. Yes I have been through the Adobe site and followed the instructions about removing the 4.0 folder and contents and, if I have this correctly, on re-start Encore creates a new folder if it can’t find an existing.
I am getting frustrated, and angry, and about to throw hundreds of pounds worth of software back at Adobe and demand my money back….But that does not get my project out onto a DVD master for duplication.
Any thoughts would be welcomed.

ParticipantWhat export options are you using to create the AVI?
Are you exporting a standard DV-AVI file?

ParticipantThat is all perfectly fine, so I really doubt there is anything wrong with the AVI video file. Must be a problem with Encore as far as I can tell, gonna need some other help as I am not a Encore expert. The Adobe Encore forum has some really good guys, and one of them is a moderator at Muvipix.com, Bill Hunt. If you can’t get an answer here then stop by muvipix and see if Bill or someone else can help with this.
Can you add the file to a Premiere CS4 project without any errors or problems? Have you tried the ‘Send to Encore’ option from there?

InactiveChuck, thank you kindly for all your help. It, at times, helps to take a problem back and forth…. until suddenly there is a eureka moment. As I type, my project, now in CS4, is rendering, so I will add one more post if all works, as I now expect it to. Thanks for the Encore contact.
Regards
Peter
