I am having the opposite issue. Main menu loops fine but after looping in submenus, they jump back to the main menu. I found sadly that the main menu only loops when I set it to Never, not forever. Odd don’t you think?
Still trying to figure out why the submenus won’t do more than one motion menu play then jump back to the main. End and overrides are pointing back to the submenu itself but they still jump to the main.

I have an older copy of Procoder on my laptop. I suppose I could test that but I am pretty sure it will do the same as Sorenson and “expand” the video to fill all the lines.
On PCs here as out workstations. A few of the graphics guys, the 3 audio suites have Macs and we have one FCP suite right now.
We had looked at an Anystream solution for the whole plant once but I haven’t checked on what they are doing for a while now.

I still don’t see what they need 32 full lines for really but that’s fine.
I used Avid FreeDV (one decent use for it anyway) to capture footage at my desk and export a 30 second test as a full rez QT file according to the DG time line requirements. Sorenson, although it allowed me to choose the above setting failed when it came time to actually squeeze the test anyway.
I see no current way to use Sorenson. Shame really as the automatic FTP from the out box would have been great anyway. I say we bang on Sorenson’s door till the answer and I too will request this as a feature. We have about 10 editing suites here now and all the PCs, which is most now have Sorenson installed. Sure would be a good thing.
Thanks folks.

I am currently looking at the MPEG2 encode section of the latest Squeeze and if you create a new encode setting in the MPEG2 section of Squeeze using the “none” under format constraints you can then set the frame size to 480 x 512. You can set other attributes as well. In our spec sheet from DG, it mentions 18MB/sec is the preferred total data rate. That isn’t going to happen for us under Squeeze as the max is preset at 10,400Kbps. Still, that’s better than a normal DVD so I suppose that would be OK since these aren’t true HD spots.
Has anyone done and successful tests with Sorenson?
