That’s what’s so weird about it…they were .mov’s and a .mp4. The compression must be where I am losing it. Doesn’t make sense. They don’t say what compression should be used I believe. I’m rechecking but I’m pretty sure they just said to use a .mov, MPEG2-DVD or .avi uncompressed. I wasn’t trying to use DivX or anything like that.

Ok, I’ll definitely do that, but what about the actual file you are creating…do you use MPG2-DVD, .mov, .avi, etc? I believe that’s where it’s getting me every time.

Yes, they seem to work making me think that I’m totally doing something wrong…obviously. What did they do differently…I went thru the whole tutorial and did what he said to do, but still can’t get the thing to work correctly…is there a setting that you always use that is a fail-safe? Thanks!

Well, everyone seems to be able to play the Hollywood-type movies on their systems. I just don’t see where I’m creating the movies any differently. I transcode them before building the project and no errors occur. The DVD obviously works fine on the DVD for television just not everyone’s system. Is this a rare thing? I also took the files from Lynda.com and tried them in my project and it worked fine…what in the world could I be doing wrong when encoding them?

Ok, so then do I just create my movies as Quicktime and then transcode inside of Encore? It didn’t work that way, but most people have Quicktime or some type of codec that allows them to view a movie from a DVD…what do the Hollywood movies use so that we can all see it on our computers?
That figures about the MPG2 codec! Thanks.

I believe the image uploaded correctly. It shows the screen size is 655×480.

It will show correctly actually on screen unless I see what it will look like on TV settings (button I mentioned). That’s just a viewer though and doesn’t do anything to the aspect ratio. When I play the video’s separate they are correct. When in Encore and built they become what appears to me as a square-pixel aspect ratio…even though it isn’t.
I will try the Flash conversion as well. Thx.
The video’s that aren’t showing correctly indicate that the PAR being used is correct as well.

I created the larger file in Flash and then converted it. The other three were created in AE. I made sure I had the Comp Settings set at 720×480/ NTSC DV. The footage (limited) was created from an HD camera and the rest was created in AE.
Everything is squashed as if it were all square pixels…
I need this DVD as a presentation tool for TV and a comp monitor.
Thx.

The sides are cropped out in AE. Yes, flash is square-pixel based so not too concerned with that one, just the .mov and .avi that I created in AE at 720×480. Do I have to make them 720×540 and when it goes into Encore it will compress the file to 720×480? Someone mentioned this…
Yes, I want the file at 4:3. Where else in Encore would it allow me to get the correct ratio? When I click on the button that says, “Correct Menu Pixels for TV Display”, that’s really what it looks like. Even after I make sure the “Interpret Footage” is correct and “Edit Quality Presets” are correct.
