Preview menu house icon what do they mean?

Jul 5, 2012 8:17 AM

On my preview interface there is a light gray area which as two icons on the bottom.  One looks like a house and the other looks like a funnel. What do they mean?

 

What does preview area mean.jpgThe problem I'm having is related to these icons. When I hit the play button the dvd plays fine until I hit the return to menu, then when I hit play again the house icon goes to number "2' and the video stops playing and returns to root menu. When I hit play a second time it plays fine and the house icon in on "1" again.  What would be going on?

    Do you have any overrides set?

    There should be no effect from motion/audio on the menu and what link is being accessed. Makes me wonder about performance issues.

     

    Have you rendered the menu?

     

    Sometimes Encore's preview is not as the DVD will be, and ultimately, you must burn a test.

     

    To delete the music from the menu (not the project), open the motion tab (in the right of  your screencap), click on the audio, and hit delete. You can then delete it from the project if you wish.

    Some file formats/CODEC's, while supported, can take a lot of processing horsepower to use.

     

    I have never used QT Reference files, so this is only a guess, but I can say that WMV files take about 5 - 10x as long to process, as a DV-AVI will.

     

    I use a fair number of MOV [Animation] files, as Button Transitions. They are tiny, but do not slow down my Transcoding, that I can detect. They just work fine.

     

    Good luck,

    What is version of Encore  you are using?

    You can try increasing RAM from Encore Preferences and use 64 bit system that will improve performance.

    64 bit for Encore is new with CS6.

     

    A disk playing fine like this supports performance issues in processing.

     

    Good news on your disk!
