You said: “I have removed all overrides in the project and I have tried making a copy of the Main Menu to loop them back and forth to each other.”
I was trying to understand if you tried to actually use the looping feature or if you were just looping it that way. Does the menu continue to play and the audio just stops? Or does the whole disk stop?

You should be able to just do this by looping the menu.
Under Properties-Menu-Motion…. change the loop.

Sounds like a video card setup issue. Check your settings, is your display mode set to Dualview? If it isn’t that might be why it isn’t working.

Just for starters you could place a button in Encore similar to what you want yours to look like then edit it in Photoshop. Just right click on the menu and go to edit menu in Photoshop. This way you have a template to work from. I’m not really sure what you are doing wrong in PS to tell you how to fix the problem. This at least might give you a starting point.

So your taking a PAL project and burning a NTSC DVD? That’s your problem right there.
PAL is what 25fps? NTSC is 30(29.97) so you are in fact adding frames that aren’t there.
Also, you might be having an issue with the Aspect ratios and frame size being different.
You need to convert the AVI into a NTSC format first some how then burn it to disk.

The reason is that Encore transcodes the avi into a MPEG2 file which is a lot smaller then the AVI. I’m pretty sure Encore automatically transcodes the avi unless you change the settings manually, this most likely heppened in the background and you didn’t notice it. So you technically don’t need a DL disk since the project will fit on a normal sized one. If the quality isn’t good enough for you, you can change the transcoding settings to something you think looks better, but I doubt you would get close to the 9.5 gig size.

The first thing you should do is find what time of windows media file they want.
IE what are the requirments for streaming and what type of audience is it.
320×240? certain bit rate? maybe 300kpbs? what version of the windows media codec? WM7 or WM9? VBR or CBR?Once you get all that information then you can export the file as a WMV using the settings that you were given.
Go to file->export->Adobe Media Encoder.
This will bring up an export settings page, make sure to change the format type to windows media. Then you can change all the settings in there to meet the requirments of the streaming server. Once you have an exported .WMV you can change the file extention to .ASF and the file will be ready to go.Hope that helped.

Encore doesn’t offer scrolling menus, that would be nice if it did. The only option is to create an animated menu in After Effects that some how make it look like it’s scrolling, but I think that no matter what you do you will still be using buttons to navigate back and forth.

Just export as an uncompressed AVI… Encore is going to have to transcode the file into a MPEG2 and you will see quality loss at that stage. That is just the nature of putting a file onto a DVD but besides that you should be fine with making an uncompressed AVI.

That’s a good idea Vince, I’ll give that a try and see what I can get out of Squeeze.
Squeeze is actually converting the original file into a .fla so the text work can be done in flash…
