Greg,

We’re moving out of DVD production too. These are older training projects our client is hoping will be work with DVD software for a few more years. Most of our training content is built for online anyway.

Take care!

Greg,

That’s a good suggestion!

I believe I discovered the solution to my Encore issue last night. I was adding slideshows within the project that were set to manually advance by the user. The DVD is used by an instructor in front of a class so they need to be able to advance the content one image at a time. That worked fine in MPC-HC, Windows 10 DVD Player and on traditional DVD players. I wasn’t adding any on-screen buttons because they were jpgs and not PSDs. I did a test by replacing a set of the slides as menus instead and added a previous and next set of buttons to them. VLC plays the DVD test fine now.

I am running into issues with Encore not displaying content in the monitor window for some reason. It will show menus but not videos…it used to work fine. I also often have to restart my system after closing Encore because the application won’t reopen again without a restart. Are there any preferences or settings that can be changed to get the monitor window to play video and show slides?

Jon,

I’m using Encore CS6 as well and have produced a number of DVD projects for a client. They are having issues running those projects on a PC using VLC. The discs run fine on DVD player but they want to offer their customers the ability to also play the DVD content on a PC and they’d prefer to use VLC.

My projects run fine with the MPC-HC player on Win10 and windows media player on Win7 but VLC won’t run them beyond the opening menus on any system. Once it hits the first slideshow, it won’t advance.

I’ve also tried running an ISO of the project with VLC and it stops at the same place. Could my issue have something to do with chapters in my DVD build? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Barry
