    Can anyone recommend a Solid authoring program other than Encore? I have just started using Encore CS3 and have run into a lot of bugs. I have used Sonic in the past and found it pretty reliable but have not been shopping around for awhile.
    It needs to be able to burn DVD and Blu-ray discs.

    Thank you!!!

    Not many choices out there for both DVD and BD. Encore, DVDit Pro and Sony’s prosumer tool. Maybe the new CS4 is better haven’t tested it myself yet.

    Bought CS4 in December – trying to get Encore to transcode DVCPRO HD to 16:9 SD correctly has been a nightmare. In fact I haven’t found any way to do it. Sonic does it easily with the same files. A shame because Dynamic Link etc has promise – however not yet delivery. By many accounts CS4 should still be in Beta (practically speaking). However my experience with Premier Pro CS4 is great – worth it over AVID just for the super fast trim handles IMHO.

    Thanks for the information. We were actually thinking of upgrading to CS4. Has your overall experience with CS4 been positive?
