Hi Sean,
Is this happening when your opening just a few specific files or when you open every file? If it’s just a few .movs that do this then they’ve probable been corrupted in some way. Since your using Quicktime Pro, you could just clip of the excessive length and save as a new file.
Try it, maybe it will help.

Hi Julie,
What version of Premiere are you using? The option to export to Encore should be there. Have you considered exporting you video from Encore as an mpeg-2 file? Then importing to Encore?
As for Encore not reading your DVD drive, try to see if another program can. Check to see if your DVD is actually recognized by your computer (if your on a Mac you can do this via Disk utility. If your DVD drive shows up in everything but Encore then you could try reinstalling Encore.
Hope this helps, give it a try and let me know know how you get on.

Thanks guys for sharing your opinions on this.
It seems the general consensus would be to pre-qualify a potenital client by asking lots of questions about what they need over the phone or email; and only then if they seem like a good prospect to work with, it’d be okay to meet them. I agree with Nick’s notion that when one does meet a new client, it should be from the perspective of securing a long term relationship rather than just a one time transaction. The tricky part is when to decide if a potential is ‘qualified’ enough to warrant meeting face-to-face.
Thanks again guys, really appreciate it.

Hi Michael,
Since nobody else responded to you, here’s my opinion based on my limited technical knowledge on how SD video should look on LCD/Plasmas…
Based on my experience on watching normal SD DVDs on HD LCD TVs, I’d suggest that you always take your video to Encore in an either PROGRESSIVE or DE-INTERLACED format, NOT INTERLACED. Then when you burn your disc, don’t burn as a progressive DVD, just burn as a regular DVD. My DVDs look great on LCDs when I follow this workflow.
Let me know if this helps.

Have you tried to reinstall Encore? How about trashing your the Encore preference file?

Hi Marco,
I had this problem once. How did I resolve the problem? I trashed my preference file. Try that and see if it works.

Hi Diego,
I don’t know whether this applies to PCs….(I use a Mac) but have you tried deleting your Premiere Pro preference file? I bet that would fix your problem 😉

Hi Mark,
Are you sure Premiere Pro has a render queue feature? I know After Effects does but Premiere?
Have you not tried just using the Export feature?

Hi Brad,
If your exporting to DVD, use MPEG-2.
You should definitely be getting good quality if you are using the animation codec, maybe you need to tweak the individual settings? Are you de-interlacing? Is quality at 100%? Are you restricting data rate? etc…

Hi David,
I’m always weary about operating system updates, especially when they are just newly released. Software and drivers already installed on your computer have been configured especially to work with your existing operating system so it’s not all that surprising to hear you’re having incompatibility problems.
In future, I would wait a few weeks before you rush to upgrade your system with new OS releases…. that way you’ll find out about computer glitches and incompatibility issues from else where rather than have the headache of dealing with it yourself… these things have caused me my own fair share of problems in the past.
Just my opinion 😉
