  • Ahhhhhhh. What’s my alternative to Encore 2?

    Encore 2 keeps crashing during the build phase and frankly I’m tired of rebuilding my DVDs because Adobe won’t provide patches to commonly known problems!

    I’m producing a DVD that needs to out to replication on Monday so and I’m looking for another DVD authoring program to get the job done. My project will go on a Dual Layer DVDs with motion menus (preferably with seamless transitions.)

    I’ve come across DVD-lab Pro 2.2 and DVDit

    Personally I think DVD-Lab Pro is the best tool on the PC side. What kind of patches are you looking for.

    My roadblock came in the form of a Vobulator\TitlePlanner\CGOPGrouper.cpp, line 297 error.. After about 5 hours of banging my head I found a solution thanks to Jeff Bellune in response to a another error with CVOBUPlanner.ccp. The issue is with more than 19 chapter points the same timeline. If this was truly a limitation why wouldn’t Adobe check for it during the “check project” phase.

    Also in my quest to resolve the “line 297” error I un-checked my “motion menus” which resulted in yet another crypted error message..

    IMHO these issue can be easily fixed with a patch..

    What is your crashing problem with Encore about? You’re using QuickTime References? Well, then you should add inn the Audio tracks not from the reference it self but from a stand alone file (recomending AC3) and Encore won’t crash.

    I don’t recomend letting Encore encode anything to MPEG-2 anyway, but if this is the way you do it, I only wanted you to know that Encore will crash when using QT Reference with both Audio and Video.
