Good troubleshooting! Will Encore render a menu that uses elements, other than highlights, that are not rasterized. (I don’t know; curious.)

Those filenames should be no problem. I once calculated length only to be about 79 including spaces. IF that is the problem, make sure you’re not using slash symbols or such. All that is just a possibility. Paths, I think, have sometimes been an issue, but not generally.
I forgot the beginning quote, and I quoted it because I never understood it either. A psd cannot include a .mov. But there was some process at work that that user believed made a difference. If your psd is not an After Effects export, rule that out.

The usual culprit in Photoshop -1 errors is filename length or odd characters. Also one report of fixing this where it was an AE generated psd with mov’s as layers” resolved by flattening.
Photoshop -1 was one of the issues for some Mavericks users, but I doubt it applies to you. They were having trouble clicking on menus in Encore. But here’s one of those threads. The linked post suggested some options related to permissions. Use at your own risk: I am not a mac user, and no one responded to that thread regarding success or not.

Mavericks has been an issue, but I don’t recall this as one of the problems.
What do you mean by “won’t render”? Is the render motion menus option available or greyed out? What is the format of the video for the motion background?

[Michal Goldstein] “Where would I set it to automatic?”
Sorry; just saw this. The automatic has nothing to do with links, only with the transcode setting.
Bottom line for you, do what Jeff is describing. Automatic requires a lossless intermediate or dynamic link.
But for the information, you right click the asset for the timeline, pick “transcode settings,” and pick automatic (for DVD and/or Bluray).

> I thought that if for example you import an AVI movie into Encore, it will do the transcoding automatically for you to fit. Maybe the auto-fit was only with Dynamic Link.
Just make sure all other motion menu etc work is done, all assets are linked, and set each timeline asset to “automatic.” Encore sets the datarate to fill the disk. You have less control over transcode settings, but the automatic is used by many.

Jeff, good points. I made two assumptions: if it was just total size, it should show “do not transcode” with a warning for disk over size; also, since he used an mpeg2-bluray preset, it should be demuxed. But I don’t compressor, and could be wrong.

I would export a short bit from Vegas, and see if Encore sees that as untranscoded. What are the Vegas export settings? What are the characteristics of the actual file that was exported (mediainfo or the like).

Upon import, what did Encore show for in the Project Panel under the Bluray Transcode Status column?
The maximum is only relevant for motion asset rendering by Encore.
Did you say “a” file?

I’ll answer the easy part.
Right click the subtitle track in Encore. “Export Subtitles.” (It’s a text file.)
I think there have been some improvements in Premiere CC, but perhaps they were limited to closed captioning.
But “loading it up to the internet” leaves the question of what format that will allow subtitles.
