Activity Forums Adobe Encore DVD DVD not recognized by duplicator

  • DVD not recognized by duplicator

    This was my first project with Encore and everything went smoothly until I burned the disc and tried to put it in a duplicator to make several copies. I did make sure the copy protection was off. I checked the project and no issues came up.
    The DVD plays fine in a DVD player, buttons work, etc., but the duplicator doesn’t recognize it as a valid disc. Is Encore not “finalizing” the disc when it’s finished or is is somthing else that’s keeping it from being recognized? The duplicator is a Primera Bravo Pro.

    How much content is on the disc?

    Under an hour. I transcoded it at 4mb VBR 2 pass.

    Sorry I wasn’t clearer, I meant how much data is written on the disc?

    That should be enough data (I’ve heard reports that this happens when data is 1 GB or less).

    Which disc format did you burn to?

    Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 16X

    That’s fine quality. I’m guessing that somehow it’s not being properly closed by Encore.

    There are a couple of avenues you may want to try – one would be to build a DVD folder and use ImgBurn (freeware) to burn it using the same brand of DVD-R and try this with your duplicator. Another would be to try burning a DVD+R instead, and see if that works on the duplicator’s system.

    Use Encore to build a DVD folder (you can do this in the Build panel), and then use the folder as the source for ImgBurn.

    So do I still use Encore to set up the disc and export the file to ImgBurn?

    I’ll give it a shot. Thanks Joe, you’ve been a big help again!!
