The Dolby DIgital transcoding in Encore has no user settings available, so any problems lie in the source material.
There are a couple of things that spring to mind here, depending on what the original source material was.
If it was originally MPEG audio, or MP3, then the problem is recompressing material that has already been heavily compressed & this will always result in quality loss. The lower the bitrate of the MP3.MPEG audio, the worse the quality will be.
Option 2 is if your source was 16/48 PCM WAV in Premiere, again – what was the original source?
Did you possibly use any form of processing on the Audio?Can you please be a lot more specific about your transcode setting (Dolby Digital? MPEG?) and the source of your audio files?

Your only option is Sonic Scenarist.
Version 4 Blu Ray is $50,000
Version 4 HD DVD is $50,000
Version 4 SD DVD is $50,000
CineVision Encoder is $60,000
Dolby True HD Media Producer is $12,000 and Mac OSX Garfield only.Have fun!

Which will not do the menus.

Please bear in mind that the NEXT button will take you to the next timeline you actually created.
The VOB are ordered in strict order of your timeline creation.
So – if you created timeline 4, then timeline 2, then a couple of menus, then some more timelines etc *before* linking any assets together, then this is exactly what will happen.Could this be the explanation?
Or were you honestly disciplined enough to create every timeline (NOT importing, not linking, just creating) in exactly the same sequence you wanted playback to happen in at “Play All”? -
Not got the foggiest, I’m afraid.
I will definitely try it here & see what the options are, but I am stumped.DL discs are easy enough, but you will need to take great care with the layer break.

What problem is that?
The link goes to a blank page…..usually though, if nobody answers it’s because nobody knows. -
95% of all PAL machines will play an NTSC disc.
95% of all NTSC machines will NOT play a PAL disc.
If you are sending to the USA, it must be NTSC. Simple.“Standards Conversion” of an authored disc is next to impossible to do.
Menus are a different resolution & PAR.
Video is a different resolution & frame rate.
You must rebuild as an NTSC project – redesigning all menus, and converting all Video.Sorry about this – but that is the way it is.

If you need this to work in the USA< then you need to select the NTSC standard, it's that simple. Most UK PAL players these days will also play an NTSC disc, either natively or as PAL-60, but most US NTSC players will simply refuse to read PAL discs at all. Your Video files will need to be in NTSC format, as will your menus. Video has to be at 720 x 480, and if your existing footage is all PAL and you have a copy of Premiere Pro about the easiest way to do thechange is to create a new NTSC project in PPro, import your PAL footage and then hit the ENTER key as soon as it is imported. This will turn it into NTSC for you, and you can then export from PPro either as NTSC DV AVI, or as NTSC MPEG-2 (Via the Adobe Media Encoder). My preference is to use AVI files in Encore, as this allows not only greater flexibility in placing chapter markers (Encore will transcode for you, and will automatically place a GOP header at each chapter marker. With MPEG-2 footage, Encore can only place Chapter Markers at GOP headers) Additionally, using AVI files will allow Encore to automatically set the best possible bitrate for your project when transcoding.

Can you let us know what happens after your builders look at the machine?
If they cannot find anything, then there are still some other things to try here.
It is also a possibility that your burner doesn’t like -R media as well.
+R media is by and large about equally as compatible with players as -R media these days, despite it being an “unofficial” format.
Main thing is that the verbatim +R work, and worked reliably. -

Sense code errors are Encore’s way of telling you that all is not well, and that Encore cannot get exclusive access to the burner. This is usually caused by other applications preventing it, and Packet wroiting is the usual culprit (but not always).
Often these are triggered by having conflicting software on your system – either running at the time of the burn or else just there & installed.
Do you have any packet writing utilities installed – InCD, Direct To Disc, anything like that?
Or – even worse – Roxio applications of any description?
Anti-Virus software running?
Norton Utilities?
What else is running at the same time as your attempted burns? For verbatims to kak out on you, something is badly wrong.
