  • How do export a 2 hours timeline to Encore

    Posted by Sergio Barrozo on July 3, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    Today I was working in a timeline with 2 hours and 14 minutes of duration, and when I tried to export to Encore, as I chose NTSC medium quality for export, appeared a message saying I had to lower the quality in order to export. I then tried NTSC low quality, but the message appeared again saying it could not be exported.
    How can I do to make a DVD from this timeline with 2 hours long?

    Does your burner do dual-layer disks??

    Yes, it does. But how can I put this 2 hour video in a single layer DVD?

    What versions of software are you using?

    With the size you have(2:14) on a single DVD the bitrate is going to be low, around vhs quality

    Yes, I know. But how do I set this bitrate when exporting to Encore?

    I’m using CS3.

    Sergio this is the only type of situation where I would suggest to someone that they simply create an AVI……then import into a new Encore project……and let Encore use the automatic setting to encode properly. Remember to set the the video to loop back to the beginning when finished and it should come up clean when you run a check disk. There’ll be no menu.Just set it to “Create Image”, start the process, then go to bed. When you get up there should be an image you can burn to disk.

    You said you tried something like this in a different post but did not explain why this didn’t solve your problem.

    Good Luck.

    Thank you for the explanation. It worked.
    The only thing I cannot figure out is how to replicate DVDs using the Image generated, inside Encore.
    I know how to do it in Nero, but with Encore I could not find out a command to read a disk image and make a copy.
    There´s a mention in Encore help that it can be done, but not explaining how.

    As you have already figured out you don’t do it in encore. You open Nero and go to “burn image to disc” then click on the image you created, choose how many copies you want to make and keep feeding your burner.

    If you must do it in Encore then open your project, go to “create disc” (same menu as create image)and follow the instructions after you have placed a blank disc in your burner.

    Slower and more prone to errors but it can be done.

    Good Luck;

    More likely Build | DVD Folder. Much better than build direct to DVD. You can easily make multiple copies, make some now and some more later, recover from burner issues without re-rendering the whole project, burn on multiple burners. Anything that will burn a data DVD, including built in Windows DVD burning will work. All my Dells seem to come with Sonic so that is what I use.
