ok stan, yeah i never tried to just make an image and burn using another program. i will figure that out. it definitely has never been a problem with smaller projects where i didn’t need menus.

and yeah, timelines were transcoded and the build worked but during writing it just spit it out without a message/error and left me with the spinning beach ball to meditate over.

sigh.

ok…so NOW after rasterizing all of the text in the menus i was able to start the build. about 1g into writing to disc encore ejected it. *smashing head on table*

well, so i opened a new menu which only had video background into photoshop and drew a square with the marquee tool, filled it in with a solid color, and when i opened that preview in encore it worked fine. so that led me to believe that the text is the culprit, and so far it looks like i am right. so what gives? this was never an issue before!

i tried making a new project. i made a new menu and linked an m2v video to the background. i tested the preview and it played the background video just fine. once i brought it into photoshop and added a layer of text, saved it, and attempted to preview it in encore the video is no longer rendered, and when i try to render it i get the same error as before.

NOW… i tried rasterizing all of the type and finally encore is letting me render! however, i have a lot of menus so it will take some time before i can try to build the disc. and i am worried the text will lose quality now. will let you know.

when you say filename length do you mean with the video files? because they are pretty short already…i can try to make them a few characters long though…

“Also one report of fixing this where it was an AE generated psd with mov’s as layers” resolved by flattening.”

that sentence doesn’t quite make sense. flattening what? the video?

happy to clarify, stan.

i do have the option to run the render, but it instantly provides the error message: “photoshop file error -1”

here is a screenshot of the layer format in case that helps:

they are m2v files made in compressor. again, they render fine when i remove all of the text buttons/layers.

let me know if you need any other info. thanks!
