Encore 5.5 DVD menu and chapters

[Jon Geddes]

It seems your media streamer is not respecting the DVD programming on the disc, and is instead just playing through the vob file.

It;s not respecting my authority-ing !?

I got it to play but the quality result is not what i desired.. I’m still finding it rather difficult to understand the things i need to do to keep the same quality.

Right now i’m trying a blu-ray version. I matched my project settings when i had premiere output a MPEG-2 for blu-ray (the project was avchd from sony .mts) so i made the MPEG-2 1920*1080 square pixel upper field first 25fps at a high bit rate (30 something for target and 36 for max.)

Encore turned it into a blu0ray and said i didnt need to transcode the m2v file as it was allready legal for blu-ray…. I had it make a blu-ray folder and when i went to the streams folder i saw that it hat turned the MPEG2 into .m2ts… so it transcoded again?

The m2ts is just the container file. Your m2v file info is contained within that m2ts without modification. It also includes some header info for the stream, which is why you will notice the m2ts file is larger than your original m2v and audio file combined. This is normal.

Had you imported an h.264 file, you will notice is also places it into an m2ts stream without re-transcoding.

I see. I thought the m2v was the container for an MPEG-2 and thus thought it would remain the same. Pity my mediadevice refuses to show the Blu-Ray menu though. But considering that i got the DVD’s right and that the BLu-ray movies plays well also I’m just gonna assume that it will work out now.

thanks for the help. I’ve learned a lot!
