John,
I have spent insane amounts of hours authoring a Blu Ray project for a football documentary… I racked my brain about why it ALWAYS freezes for a sec when hitting the loop set point during the menu when it NEVER happens on a DVD.
I spent hours on the phone with ADOBE tech support on the issue, we screen shared and he tried to essentially duplicate the particular situation on his end and guess what??? THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR END.
He told me that he was going to get their engineers on it because it is a SOFTWARE issue. Not just a specific error to me.
So to recap John…
You are not doing anything wrong… ENCORE is just quite faulty… it is funny to me that Adobe let something like this slide through.
Let me know if you have any other questions…
