i got sick of Encore and borrowed Sonic DVDit from a colleague.
worked perfectly, no problems at all.
took me 6 hours to redo the DVD in Sonic but it was worth it. DVDit is far more intuitive and it does all the timelineing for you, linking of chapters for you etc. User interface is much better than Encore and it’s stable!!!! from what i’ve read about encore following making this post there are thousands of people like me who have wasted their money on encore. Just as well photoshop, illustrator and after efects are ok or adobe would go out of business with the code that’s in encore.
don’t get me wrong, i’d love to be able to use a future STABLE version of encore that recognises unlimited layers from a photoshop file, it’s just that Encore 1.5.1 is a steaming load of the proverbial. until that time comes and people on forums are recommending encore again (probably version 5 onward based on encore 1.5 coding issues), for god sake keep away from it. It will waste your time!
