Cheers Brad.
The workflow for encoding doesnt get more basic than this…
uncompressed AVI/Quicktime is imported into Quicktime, and any compression in MP4 using either h264 or MPEG4 improved (or a .mov with h.264) on any platform results in gamma shift. -
perfect – thanks a lot!

I was aware of the limitation of 18 buttons for widescreen, so I made that particular menu 4:3
I have an old 32bit lying round, might try transferring it across. -
Hey guys, cheers for the reply.
Yes, Encore has great usability and after dabbling with the others, I find it by far the easiest. I dont need scripting or anything so its fine for what I need it for.My problems: crashing like no other. usually on disc build (if I get that far) or more often than not when I try to load the encore file it will cause it to crash.
My work flow: (OS: XP64) Build menus in Photoshop, import them into Encore, import the footage and connect it all up. The video files are uncompressed AVI’s. Sometimes when I cant open the encore file (which is quite a lot) I rebuild the project and encode the avi’s using TMPGenc 3.0 (I have no preference for what software does the encoding). Encore will often crash when it goes to encode the project at build time. I think a problem might be that I have 24 links to timelines/submenus from the front page. Problems seem to occur when I’m building it when it begins to get heavy/complex.Any of this sound familiar?

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the reply. I took the chance and went ahead scaled up the 4:3 stuff. Havent output it yet but it looks ok so far…
The next problem is dealing with the menus in Encore – 4:3 menus support 32 buttons, whilst 16:9 only 16! I cant think of any limitation that would force this decision. Anyway, I have about 20 buttons, so have gone 4:3, will this be stretched on a 16:9 monitor?

Fantastic! Cheers Steven.
theres one thing Im noticing, normal photos are getting stretched, while the video looks fine, when i interpret footage to pixel ratio of 1 (square), it looks ok. so I need to convert all my photos to square PR and the vids can maintain 1.422?
Thanks again

theres a ctually a plugin here, but it takes about a half second to read the .pic, so scrubbing is painful…
anyway, ended up rendering them all from AE to avi’s then bringing them in.
