I have the same issue. In addition to it, encore runs very erratically and has a tendency hang up when using it. I have a, half an hour long hd video that I exported from premiere using dynamic link that I’m sending to dvd that has ben taking 12 hours or so to transcode. I have a 8 core mac pro with 12 gigs of ram and a 9800 gt video card, if any one has any ideas.

I read somewhere that having spaces or long titles cause problems like this but when I removed all the spaces and reduced my titles and file names to 5 characters, I still have the same issue. When I’m transcoding only about 20% or less of the cpus is being used and my computer becomes completely un unusable. Everything stutters and hangs.

Stuff like this really makes me look closer at final cut. Between this and the way that encore performs when rendering, and it’s frequent crashes on my 8 core mac pro, I’m feeling some definite buyers remorse.
