DVD Architect templates can be custom made but it is rather difficult,
DVD Architect 3 now supports Adobe Photoshop Layers file format so the will be a lot easier to produce like the 200 plus menus I create for Adobe Encore
I will be creating menus templates for DVD Architect soon.

Glass Mastering comprises a number of stages needed to create a metalized glass master from which the stampers are produced for the DVDs to be stamped/replicated

Encryption CSS/Marcovision is done at the replication facility when making the Glass-master, depending on the replication facility you may be able to send your DVD-r master to the replicator and have them add the CSS/Marco-vision when creating the glass-master

Duplication is done with a CD/VD duplicator which you can purchase for a couple grand, you buy blank media and burn the Disc your self or have someone else do it for you

Replication is the process of making a glass-master, Stamper and the DVDs are manufactured and not burnt to blank media.

maybe that helps

Hi,

I would start of with setting your transcoding settings to 7mbps or lower instead of letting Encore encode it automaticlly

Also try different media brands and avoid cheap media

and burn at 1x, 2x ,4x
