Encore shows “untranscoded” on transcoded files
I have three projects that I did a few months ago. Saved them because I knew I would need to make changes to the ROM content only (changing a PDF file) Today I open the first project, rebuild the image file, only took a couple of minutes. Next project I open, it starts trnnscoding and decides to ignore the transcode from the first time a few months ago. While I have it open, I go into the sources/transcodes folder and find the m2v and ac3 files just as they were a few months ago. I then close the project file, open it back up and the transcodes magically get DELETED by Encore. It makes no sense and it does not happen with every project but it is rather annoying to have to spend another several hours transcoding. Be nice to get this fixed somehow or if someone can shed some light as to why this happens. I checked the adobe.com forums and others have written about the same problem.

Anyone know a solution to this? I have the third project open and it’s showing one of three assets as transcoded, yet when I go to the \Sources\Transcodes\ folder, all the folders for the videos are there and contain the transcoded files. How can I make Encore SEE these so I don’t have to waste hours again?

bumppppp, can anyone help me with this? I really don’t want to transcode the whole thing again for no reason…….

Why it happens? Good question. Have you moved, rearranged or otherwise done *anything* that might make Encore think the transcoded files aren’t where Encore thinks they should be? It could be something as simple as having your project files on an external drive, then having the drive letter changed or reassigned by Windows when you plugged the drive back in.
I would try 2 things:
1. See if “Revert to Original” is available. It may not be because the asset status is “Untranscoded”. If it is available, do a revert, then use the History list to undo. Save, close, re-open Encore.
2. Do a “Replace Asset”, then point Encore to the transcoded file.

Can’t revert to original. But if I do replace asset of an AVI, with the M2V file that it transcoded, what about the audio? It transcodes the m2v and ac3 files separately? Or will it automatically pick up the accompanying ac3 file?
-
actually wait, now the ac3 file is gone! WTF is up with Encore, it just chooses to randomly delete transcodes, @#%ing annoying

Sorry to bump this but I’m having the same problem. It happens if I do something as simple as changing the end action on a timeline. All of a sudden, “Untranscoded”.
Can anybody shed some light on this?
