The first place I’d check is the number of channels – did you export as stereo when it should have been mono, or vice-versa?
Additionally, if you are exporting as a muxed .mpg file, please consider exporting as demuxed, elementary .m2v video and .wav audio files. Things generally go much smoother in Encore when the imported assets are demuxed.

Is the audio perfectly matched to the other audio on the track – format, channels?

That is a known bug in v 1.5. You may safely ignore that particular error.

You have the ability for almost limitless customization of menus in Encore because of its integration with Photoshop.
AAMOF, if you follow Encore’s layer-naming conventions, you can create your entire menu in Photoshop – from scratch or by editing one of Encore’s templates.
Adding the type of links that you want is as simple as adding buttons to the menu. The limit is 36 buttons per 4:3 menu, 18 buttons per 16:9 menu.

Unfortunately, the only other reason that I know of for the program not to update is that it is a pirated or hacked version.
You may want to contact the seller on Ebay and ask where or how the program was obtained.

Launch Encore and check Help>About. You may already have version 1.5.1.

I forgot to include some info in my last post.
Region Coding is technically part of the CSS copy-protection system, and as such, is not functional for burned discs. To enable CSS and Region Coding, the Encore project has to be written to DLT tape and sent to a mastering house. CSS and Region Coding only function on replicated/pressed discs.
That’s why I had to ask about PAL/NTSC.

[jwlinux] “Additionally, we have already sent 2 discs overseas, and the recipients cannot play them – so I know for sure that the DVD discs are region locked.”
Just to eliminate any variables, are you absolutely sure this isn’t a PAL/NTSC problem?
I see that Cedar Creek Software is based in Waco, TX. So I assume you are producing NTSC discs? What TV system is in use in the country where you sent the discs?
No insult intended here – I’m just making sure that I have all of the facts.

You don’t have to do anything. Unless you specifically set a region in your project settings, all DVDs produced by Encore will play in all regions.
Provided your video is in the proper television format, that is.

[Addman] “I got it figured out…”
And what was the solution? It will help anyone else who comes across this thread looking for an answer.
