Obviously if you set it up and walk away it works, so there is your remedy 🙂
Seriously, this is what you should do (which it seems you are doing):
After editing (no need to render anything) ADOBE DYNAMIC LINK> Send to Encore. Encore will open up and ask for a name to save. Give a name and location and select Blu-ray or DVD, NTSC or PAL and click OK. Will prepare encode settings. Wait for it to create a timeline with your PPro project.
Then in the Project window click on the TIMELINE and in the PROPERTIES window make sure you give an END action such as STOP.
Click on an empty area in Project window and in PROPERTIES window ignore Override, and in TITLE BUTTON> Specify Link> select your timeline sequence.
Now BUILD> Check project> there should be no errors. (Don’t build until you correct errors. Your DVD may not be playable).
Make sure FORMAT is what you want (Blu-ray/DVD) and select OUTPUT as Disc, DVD Folder, or Image.
In Properties window give a Disc Name.
Now click BUILD and WAIT………. a long time… depending on how big your project is and how fast your machine is. If you think it will help, walk away. Should be done when you are back.
