As usual, Thanks for your reply…
Once I compared 15Mb/sec to 40Mb/sec H264 on Blue-Ray using same project…. And I did notice more aliasing on the video with lower bandwidth… So I went to 40 and stayed there.
I’ve not encountered any failures of 40Mb/sec H264 yet… Say compared to DVD’s at higher bandwidth… (Which I encountered in great amounts years ago…. be it hardware firmware, Media quality or Read/Write speed.
In a web conversation it was inferred that pretty much anyone could put on a DVD Label on a player/burner hardware, but Blue-Ray label inferred a test to be qualified to wear the BRay Label… And that may have attested to the fact I wasn’t seeing as many failures on burned media with BR, vs. what I encountered ‘early on’ with DVD’s…Looking for 1939 Indian Motocycle

Jeff:
Here is the steps that I was following today when the iso isssue came up….
In PPRO (Where I edited down the 6 hours of footage to 3x 27 min shows per each DVD (5 DVD’s total).
The settings I ended up using for the 2 Pass VBR
Quality 5, Rates: 3.67 6.81 7.92 Maximum Render Quality
That file, when finished, was imported as a timeline in Encore after deleting existing timeline.
Added Chapter stops to the new timeline, then linked the Menu buttons to chapter stops…
and then diagnostic check, then test play it, then build ISO….ISO didn’t work. went back to last project that did… It, too wouldn’t… Fired up Laptop, went into older test dvd there. Same… ??? Try BR session… Same… ?????
And then suddenly they both worked!!!
I posted it was OK after creating ISO Build, and it didn’t encode video!
I think Encore just wanted me to know who is in charge!

2 hours later…. and BOTH WORK FINE…
There was a destination (Encountered that before)….
It wasn’t that both were operational simultaneously (at the end, I was comparing one against the other)…
Then it works! and it just finished making ISO of the VBR patch we talked about earlier……
Is Adobe still having us phone home? Could it have been that… ???
Both are on network here…
Both systems are ‘clean’ of spyware, etc…Yeah… I just checked the ISO File. 4.177GB….. Thanks for that info….
As for the build going low tally….. You got me… but it happened to both systems…. and both systems are now OK..
Haven’t been drinking…. but now that you mention it………

Well, I’ve certainly had better days….
Encore CS6. I can no longer Output to BR or DVD Image…. on either desktop or laptop….
Even called up projects that I had done so before… and had been successful…
On both DVD and BR when I select Build tab, DVD DISC, DVD FOLDER, and DPP IMAGE all have build highlighted.
Wen I select DVD IMAGE — Build goes low tally (Not Highlighted)
Blue Ray IMAGE does same (Not Highlighted).both of the computers are doing same.

I have found a way around one issue, and have stumbled onto another!
I’ve developed a 2 Pass VBR that works fine without a second render in Encore…. and it can Output to DVD Folder without an error…
However… If I select Output to DVD Image, that option is Grey’d out…. Why? (I normally export to Image (ISO) because it is less prone to error out.. than Output to DVD Disc usually does)…I tried Output to DVD Disc, and that fails 3/4 way through with Hardware Error, on any of 2 different disk burners…
Only difference in this project is I replaced a MPEG2-DVD Render based on CBR with MPEG2-DVD Render with 2-Pass VBR…. With CBR timeline… I can Output to DVD Image (ISO). Change to 2 Pass VBR– Output to DVD Image is Greyed out…
Therefore, Can you Output to a DVD from a successfully created DVD Folder?
Should Output to DVD IMAGE with a 2-Pass VBR MPEG2-DVD Render Timeline work?

Gives me much information… as I had hoped to receive! :)!
Printed out, and reading and further examinations commence Now!
Thanks for the in-dept answer…

And here’s question #2 for you, Jeff…. Question based on PPRO MPEG2-DVD Encode vs. Encore Encode…
Say you have a long session in PPRO…. Which would look better after burn to DVD in Encore:
Go for the highest quality MPEG2-DVD Export…. Disregarding Converted FileSize altogether, such that the Encoded MPEG2-DVD Filesize is say 12-14GB, or higher….. And letting Encore Re-encode it to fit on 4.7Gb DVD…….
OR……
Exporting same long file In PPRO… Using settings that limit the size of the file to 4.6GB, so Encore doesn’t have to encode it…
Which, in your opinion, would look better when viewed off DVD?

Man I’m screwing up left and right… The 18 was doing MPEG2 not MPEG2-DVD.
I’m cranking it up to 9mbps now —- via MPEG2-DVD — CORRECTLY!!!
Well at least the work around is still working! :)!

My last post has an error in it…. Following refers to CS6 Settings in PPRO and Encore
My comment about increasing to 9.4Mb is incorrect, as (If I have this correct) that’s only if Encore does the MPEG2 conversion… I did it in PPRO/Export….
Now in that (PPRO/Export I see the Bitrate Settings as CBR and 18Mbps…..My question is…. IF Max Bandwidth of DVD Standard is 9.4Mbps…. and PPRO/Export is set at 18Mbps.. ???
What would the maximum Mbps setting in PPRO/Export be for a NTSC DVD?Jeff, I’d like for you to share your expertise in this… 9.4Mbps does not equate to 18Mbps… Where, then IS Maximum?

I’ve done Dynamic Link to Encore from PPRO before, so I’m guessing that It has something to do with the type of footage (SD MXO2) and Dynamic Link….. As:
Went back into PPRO (CS6), and exported to MPEG2-DVD at Maximum Render Quality, and then back into Encore (CS6), deleted the timeline, then imported as timeline asset, the MPEG2-DVD footage just exported via PPRO/AME.
Then, of course I had to re-link all chapter stops… and test session….But when I did this, it built an ISO file FLAWLESSLY!!!!
OK…. (Jeff) See how much time I saved by using Dynamic Link? (Ha-Ha!!!)
Even upped the data rate to 9.4Mb/sec and still had no problem….
Solved (Whew!!)
