I've gotten this error also. So far in my experience this points to a clip on your timeline hasn't been transcoded sucessfully/properly (even though it appears to have).  Start at the end, remove the last clip, and attempt to build.  Go backwards on the timeline removing each clip until you get a successful build.  Then, re-transcode the suspect clip or clips back down to the end of the timeline.

One thing I've noticed is if you do a 'revert to original' on the problem clip or clips and then re-transcode, be careful here as too many 'revert to original' then re-transcoding can really mess up Encore/Adobe Media Encoder (I learned the hard way).  If that happens you will need to start over and create a new project.

Lastly--it sounds strange but--make sure each clip that you import from Premiere has a complete video and audio track to the end.  For example, one of my clips in Premiere has titling at the end of the timeline, with no video or audio underneath.  The result--when imported into Encore it couldn't transcode it properly.  I went back and added black video underneath the titling to the end of the timeline and the transoding went fine.

I have been working on a huge project with several layers of menus for a blu-ray DVD (using CS4) . I had the same error coming up. It looks like a solved it though. Simply put, it does not look like Encore can handle basic editing functions when you export to blu-ray. In other words, do not shorten the asset you import on the time line. You can add an asset to another but when you cut some of it out, I found it does give you a "Code 24" error when you encode your Blu-ray.  So generate assets that are at the lenght you need them to be once in encore. That resolved the problem for me entirely and all my blu-ray encoding went fine after that.

Also as a tip: I have been dealing with assets that were imported via Adobe Dynamic Link and honestly, there seem to be too many bugs still in Encore to make that the workflow to use. I suggest you pre-encode all of your assets using Premiere Pro (Via Media Encoder) export as H 264 blu-ray and import those into your Encore Project. The encoding done from within Encore is more time consuming per my experience and Encore seems to have trouble tracking its resources at times if you have to change anything in your project. So go the pre-encode route!!!

Hope this helps anyone.

Dave,

Welcome to the forum.

Your current workflow is by far the best. Encore is but an authoring program, and does not work well, if at all, when doing editing work. It is always best to feed it exactly what you want, and in the best form for it to work.

Good luck,

Hunt
