Turns out that the General tab of Encore preferences includes a box to set
transcoding by ame. This box had been checked, although I didn't remember
ame being used.
So I fired up one of my projects again, reverted the sequences to original,
and set one of them to "transcode now". This opened ame which shows all the
information I wanted. And since ame is a separate program from Encore, I
was able to look at all the Encore info as well.
Since this was a test, I aborted the ame action, and instead just triggered
a "build" in Encore. This time, the Encore transcode function was used not
ame, despite the fact that the preference was set to use ame.
In other words, if you go straight to "build" without previously
transcoding, ame is not used despite the preference setting, and details are
sadly lacking. However, if you force transcoding before doing a build, ame
is used, and lots of info is available.
So perhaps the suggested feature is to ensure that ame is used for
transcoding when doing a build provided the ame box is checked in the
general preferences.
