Talk to me fellas
I’m looking to purchase a DVD authoring program. But before I do, I need to get feedback from real users and DVD authorers. I’ve heard good things about Encore. Please feel free to give me your thoughts. I just want to make the right decision.
I’m using a PC and AVID Xpress Pro.
Thanks guys.

Encore is very powerful, If you know photoshop, then you’ll love the compatability with encore, plus if you know/own after effects, then I wouldn’t consider a different dvd app, unless you have to have multi angle material. That is the main thing that encore is lacking.

Thanks Steve,
what so you mean by multi-angle material?M.J.

Well if you want the user to be able to hit the “Angle” button on their DVD remote and switch to a different angle (basically switch to a different video track, but with the same audio) then you need the ability to have mulitple video tracks and encore can’t do that. On a side note, I did a project with Encore 2.0 over the weekend, and I love the program even more. It is at least 5x better than encore 1.5. The slideshow feature is great. The flowchart was way more useful than I imagined. The program as a whole is great, and once I actually get the production studio (I was just working with the demo) I’m going to enjoy using the ability to import unrendered after effects projects for motion menus.
