Are you trying to import an image sequence? If so, when the import dialog opens, select only the first image in the sequence and then check the “Numbered Stills” checkbox.
If your’re trying to do something else, please explain with more details.

Tested in Encore 2.0: If you revert, then save your project and close Encore, the old transcode files will be gone.

Greg,
My first concern is the media – it can really have a negative impact on disc performance in a wide variety of players. Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim are very nearly bullet-proof, and Maxell and TDK are generally very reliable. This is important because burned discs have a lower surface reflectivity than pressed discs, and some players just don’t handle anything but flawless media that ia burnt flawlessly.
Test on a software player, too. See what happens.
Rather than Nero, try the freeware ImgBurn or just burn the image from Encore. Unless Nero is “mission-critical” for you for some reason, I recommend getting rid of it altogether. I used to use it (version 5) and have since switched to Gear Pro Professional Edition. There were several reasons that I made the switch, but I haven’t looked back. Others still swear by Nero and that’s fine for them. The choice is yours.

Right-click the asset in the Project panel and choose Revert to Original, or select the asset and choose File>Transcode>Revert to Original.
If you leave the transcode setting at Automatic, you will get better quality video when the asset is transcoded in a DL project.

1. All menus, or just the first one that is displayed?
2. Upon returning to the menus from later in the disc, are all of the menus in good shape?
3. Is this in Encore’s preview only, or on a burned disc?
4. If on a burned disc, what software and hardware DVD players have you tried?
5. What brand of blank media are you using?
6. What burn speed are you using?I haven’t heard of this before, so it may take a bit of digging.

But you can use multiple copies of the same menu and the auto-activate feature of a button to trick the audience into thinking that they are seeing only one menu.

Unfortunately, there aren’t yet any reasonably-priced, good authoring solutions for hi-def DVD (Blu-Ray or HD-DVD). If you don’t author to hi-def DVD, then you will have to reduce the resolution of your HDV output to SD. At SD resolution, Encore and a host of other authoring packages can author your DVD just fine.

Thanks for checking this out. I had high hopes since it worked for me in 3 different test projects where I was able to induce the error.

[vickimoroughan] “She is unable to view the entire footage without pausing and locking up. Does the issue have to do with the fact that her player is a progressive scan player?”
Almost certainly this is *not* the issue. A progressive-scan DVD player internally de-interlaces the video and sends it to the component outputs. A standard DVD player sends the video directly to the composite and/or S-video outputs.
Media and burn speed are also good, so maybe a dirty disc? How old is her player? Can her player read other burned discs (from any source)?
I don’t think you need to change anything in your authoring unless the disc is completely full. It’s harder for some players to read completely full burned discs. In that case you may want to consider a dual-layer project. Currrently, Encore only supports +R DL discs. For -R DL discs, you would need to create a disc image and then use a third-party burning app like Gear Pro to burn to DVD-R DL.
