thanks for the reply. I’m using dvd -r disks and have tried a number of different brands and the bit rate is lower than 7.0 mbps, but the problem seems to be just with adobe encore. I have movie factory 3 and it does not show the same problem. I like the way encore is put together and how it produces the dvd (menues etc) and would like to keep using it if I can fix this issue.
