OK, found my answer to that one too… Uncheck automatically route buttons in the menu’s properties, click on “Show Button Routing” and then manually route the buttons.

OK, managed to fix that problem. Now my buttons refuse to scroll in order. Shouldn’t they scroll in numerical order? I can’t seem to figure out why one of them gets skipped when I scroll through…
Can anyone help me with this? -
I finally got CS5.5 to successfully export using the MPEG-2 DVD format, but when I use the files in Encore (imported as a timeline), I get the error “Project exceeds disc capacity” when checking the project. I used a bitrate of 6.5 when encoding in Premiere (which should be correct, according to the calculator, for an 85min long video).
It took about 4 hours to encode, so if I’m going to adjust the bitrate and try again, I want to be sure to get it right because I really need this project to be done today!!
Thanks

btw, I have set the end action on my timeline to return to the main menu.

I am having the same problem! Normally when you press the stop button while playing a DVD, it returns you to the main menu, and that’s how I’d like my DVD to behave. The project checks out fine, but when I’m previewing, it behaves exactly as you described above.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Well, I finally got a DVD burned using the Dynamic Link, and using the CS5.5 version of Premiere and Encore. Still having some problems – the DVD plays fine on my computer, but the sound is just hissing when I try it on a regular DVD player. I’m going to try another player, and also try burning using higher bitrate setting for the audio – for some reason it’s defaulting to 192, but telling me that 228 or higher provides good quality for stereo.
Also, I have edited the Quality Presets in Encore, but every time I go to check them, they’ve changed back to their original settings (which is MPEG2 Blu-ray for some reason). Maybe this is because I’m using the Dynamic Link?
I also figured out why Premiere was not exporting my entire timeline – the Source Range was not set to Entire Sequence for some reason (that’s usually the default I think). I’m exporting using the MPEG-2 DVD preset now and maybe that will allow me to create a more reliable DVD with Encore.
I have spent WAY too much time on this project – but I guess mostly this was because my CS6 programs are not working properly. I have fully licensed programs, but do not have the original disks, so I’m worried that if I run the uninstall, I won’t be able to re-install. Do you know how that works? If I run the uninstall program, does it leave me a .dmg program that I can then run to re-install?
And I still have the problem that when CS6 was installed it wiped out the Library and resources from CS5, so even though my CS5 programs are working better than CS6, I’m missing those resources and not sure I can get them back.
Sorry I’ve posted such a wide range of questions here! One last simple one – when I am previewing my DVD in Encore and I press the Stop button, I would expect it to return to the Main Menu, but it just stops where it is, leaving the scene on the screen. No errors are showing when I check the project. I’ve tried setting an End Action for each chapter, linking to the Main Menu, but that results in an error when I run Check Project (“End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point”). Pressing the stop button does seem to cause a problem when I’m playing the DVD too – the DVD just goes to a blank screen instead of back to the Main Menu. If you press Play again, it continues playing from the scene where you pressed Stop. How do I make the DVD go to the Main Menu when the Stop button is pressed?

OK, now I am trying to export from Premiere Pro CS5.5 using the MPEG-2 DVD preset and the other info you gave above, but for some reason the file that’s being created only contains the first 4 seconds of the movie! I have been trying to create this DVD for days now and am getting really frustrated!! I can’t understand why the program is not exporting my entire timeline…
-
Well, no luck. I even created a new quicktime movie with lower settings that was half the size of the original; created a new Encore project using that, but still the file is too large to burn to disc.
I checked my CS5.5, and I do have the MPEG-2 DVD preset in that program, so looks like I will have to start all over and use CS5.5. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you so much – I will try it and let you know!!

Strange that I don’t have the MPEG-2 for DVD preset – why would that be? I’ve searched and searched and definitely don’t have it. I’m at a loss as to what I can do to actually create a DVD movie now! Seems like this should be such a simple thing to be able to fit an hour-and-a-half long movie onto a DVD-R that is supposed to be able to handle up to 2 hours…
Please Help!!
