[bart conover] “They did not build a check disk”
Make sure they give you a check disk. Insist on it.

[Seth Low] “when you build the disc, the main is just a single static frame”
Are you talking about the Main Menu, or the main video of your reel? What is your desired behavior, specifically?
[Seth Low] “would having 17 clips on a single main be a problem?”
How many buttons (total) are on the menu? For a widescreen DVD, 18 total buttons is the limit.

12 seconds…hmmm.
I think it was my last pit stop that cost me.

Try File>Render>Motion Menus and see if that helps.

My next question then concerns the source footage and sequence settings that you used in Pr. For example, was the source footage an HD format like HDV or AVCHD?
But if you used D1/DV source footage and your Pr sequence is set up with a DV frame size and frame rate, then you should test a different workflow.
1. Export the Pr sequence as a DV .avi file.
2. Import the DV .avi file into ProCoder 3 and encode as DVD-legal MPEG2. Don’t multiplex the video and audio – encode to separate .m2v and .wav files. Make *sure* to set ProCoder to close the GOPs.
3. Import the .m2v and .wav files into Encore and burn a test disc.If the quality improves significantly, then either Dynamic Link or Encore’s transcoding are doing something they ought not to do.

Did you burn an RW disc as a test? Did you just use Encore’s preview? Did you use a computer-based media player like Windows Media Player or VLC?
It’s important to know what display device(s) were used to make the quality judgment.
If the quality is bad on a burned disc, then you should investigate possible interlaced/progressive issues, scaling one frame size to another, and/or any changes you made to Encore’s transcoding settings.

Click on the Disc icon in the Flowchart tab.
In the Properties panel, set the “Title Button” control to whatever menu you want as the target for the Title button on the remote control.

1. Make sure you save your AE project first. Dynamic Link via dragging won’t work on “Untitled Project.aep”
2. File>Render>Motion Menus

Subpicture highlights are 2-bit, 4-color overlays. They can’t have anti-aliasing, gradients, drop shadows or any other effects.
You need After Effects, Premiere Pro or any other editing application to animate the boy with the text balloon. Then use the output as a video background for the menu.
