Let us know how the new project turns out.
Here’s a wild guess – did you use time remapping or any other kind of speed changes in PPro?
Also, have you installed any software recently that has anything to do with MPEG encoding or playback?
What is the source format of your audio files? Any .mp3s in there?
Overall, your project seems straightforward and shouldn’t cause any problems at all (as you have already guessed).

That’s good info to start with. 🙂
1. Did you set any overrides, at all, anywhere in your project? If so, remove them. This probably isn’t relevant to your situation, but it’s a really good thing to do. Overrides can mess up your disc navigation something terrible.
2. What is your source video format? MPEG? AVI? QuickTime? If MPEG, what software did you use to transcode it?
3. Did you add your own chapters, or did you import them from Premiere Pro?

Do you have any overrides set, anywhere?
Have you tried it on different hardware DVD players?
What brand of blank media are you using?

Here’s the fix from the FAQ on Adobe’s Encore forum:
Symptom:
Transcoding keeps getting to 99% or so, and reverting back to 75% and continuing Ad Infinitum in a seeming never-ending loop.Problem:
The registry is corrupted.Solution:
1. Close all programs.
2. Run Regedit.
3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Adobe -> Common.
4. Delete “Media Cache”.
5. Restart computer.-Jeff

Please give as many details as you can about how your project is constructed.

This is normally done automatically by Encore based on which button is the default button (usually button #1).
Are you getting different results?

Put the intro chapter into its own timeline. Does that help?

Unable to reproduce here. I tried SD DVD, Blu-Ray DVD H.264 and Blu-Ray MPEG2, all using 3000×2000 jpegs.
What version of Quicktime is installed on your system? After Effects had problems with 7.4 – perhaps your QT version is having a go at Encore?
If changing QT versions doesn’t help, then I’m out of ideas.

Converting in MPEG Video Wizard can be tricky if you are not very, very careful.
Check whether your field order got inverted during the conversion.
Check that the file didn’t get re-encoded during the conversion.
Alternatively, it may only be a preview issue in Encore. Interlaced video will have interlacing artifacts when displayed on a computer monitor. That’s normal. It will look good on an interlaced television. If the preview monitor in Encore is set to 100% zoom, those artifacts will be apparent.

Well, now that is interesting.
I’ll see if I can duplicate it here on my Windows box. I’ll post back one way or the other.
