Solved my own problem… got extensions mixed up with codecs. The reason the files wont work in the old system is because QT 7.0.3 doesn’t support H.264, has nothing to do with QT… so unfortunately I’m going to have to re-compress in mpeg 2

Much appreciated fellas… I’ll look into it!

Thanks for your help, but I just switched to DVD studio pro. Brought the elements in and it went pretty easily. You’re right, Encore CS3 is crap. I really appreciate your help though.

Sorry, forgot the embed:

I uploaded the screen shot, hopefully that worked. So I want the buttons to navigate so that the viewer can just scroll forward with one button if they want… some less technically inclined people have problems navigating a menu where they have to utilize all directional pads.
So if you start at the upper left “heart to heart” thumbnail, you should be able to use the right directional pad to get to “just for the love of it” (which works), then have it wrap to “yearning”… “a walk in the park” should scroll right to “Stairway”. And so on… as it is now you can only scroll across one “level”, if you will. And “stairway” does not scroll to the Play All and Next buttons… you have to come at them from the top.
As for the thumbnail issue… you think its just a glitch? This would really suck to have to rebuild in DVD Studio Pro.
And yes, the audio was an mp2 format… that was a simple fix.

Because you said it would only handle PCM and AC3 and my files were neither of these.
It seems the files I compressed to were a little iffy beyond just that. I did my compression in Episode 6 which is really buggy to begin with… but I may have screwed with some wrong settings. I went back to V5 and it that seems to fixing that.
However I’m having two other issues. My thumbnails aren’t working and I cant get my buttons to route properly.
I did my menu in photoshop. I have the (+) in the folder title and (%) for the thumbnail placeholder title. The buttons show up in encore grayed out. I attached an asset… it turns black. But when I preview, nothing plays.
On button routing, I have 9 buttons stacked by threes on a page and I want the curser to progress through the numbers 1-9 in order when you push forward/back, up/down so on… I have the buttons labeled the correct number in the properties but the buttons only route on one level (ie. if the upper left button is highlighted it only sorts through the three on the top layer, if the middle left button is highlighted in only sorts through the three on the middle layer. It doesn’t wrap). I went to the preferences tab and found the button routing options… but no combination of anything would cause any changes.
Any thoughts?

Wow, a post on halloween… that’s dedication! Thanks! The audio format could very well be the issue… When I get past another deadline today I’m going to check that out and get back to you. Unfortunately CS3 is all I had access to… had I known about the bugs I would’ve just designed in DVD studio pro, but as it I designed elements in Photoshop and know the Photoshop-Encore connection better.

BTW, if anyone comes across this… it was definitely just a FashCard issue. My two 16gb delkin drives start glitching after 5gb… got a 64gb wintec card, filled that whole bad boy up without issue.

Thanks, I’ll look that up!

Thanks guys, you confirmed pretty much what I already suspected. I just broke some of my own rules (well everyone’s really) about shooting flat. Everything just looks so flippin phenomenal in the camera’s view finder (don’t have a field monitor) that I didn’t even think of it.
The 24-105 has been an amazing lens for me, most the time its fine, but this time it was a bit dark… but it really wasn’t the “noise” I was worried about, I understood that was the cost of shooting with such high ISO, I’m worried about the compression artifacts. Maybe the high contrast and saturation compounded by a high ISO caused the artifacts as well as the noise.
@Michael, do you know where I could find a link to where I can read up on what the House team did with their stuff? I always like learning more.
