I have not seen it with long file names, but have with certain, seldom used characters (at least in file names), and also with spaces. I've taken to using the underscore, instead of spaces, like it used to be. So far, no issues. Now, I usually have rather short file names, so maybe I have just never exceeded some limit.

Good luck, and thank you for reporting,

John T., it was that discussion, between Jbowden, Neil Wikles and Jeff Bellune, IIRC, that led me to always use the underscore, though I had never encountered a problem myself. When those folk list possible problems, I try to listen. That was probably in the old forum and it's now lost and gone forever. Neil was citing several filename incompatibilities based on Sonic Scenarist, and it was postulated that similar issues could exist with the Sonic Authorcore. In that discussion, the underscore solved issues for the OP, and over time, many more dropped by to say thanks, as it had solved their problems too. Great thing about these fora, but brings sadness to me that so very much was lost.

At least I was able to finally read every post (except for the Mac Error Messages sub-forum), so I did get a wonderful overview of Encore and found solutions to so many problems - now, if I could only remember what those solutions were...

John,

I will second that.

I was using Encore CS3 on the Mac  and getting continual crashes.  So I bit the bullet and bought Encore  (i.e. Premiere) CS5 hoping that Adobe may have fixed the problem.  With CS5, the  crashes continued -- but at least I had a little more information:  Photoshop File Error -1. 

That information was enough to  lead me to a forum discussing the long filename problem.

I thought about  the long filename problem and decided to check my filenames and paths to  see what I had -- even though I use a Mac.

My project folder was  named something like "Something Blitz 2006".  I changed the name to  simply "Blitz06".  You can guess what happened after that.  I was able  to build and write my Blu-ray disc perfectly. That was the ONLY change I  made.

In hindsight, maybe I didn't need to buy Encore  CS5.  I wish I had known about this bug two days and $299 ago.

Hi Bill

I also have the same problem now...

I have shorten th paths names and file names to 6characters and as well as no spaces..Eg. Hant1&2

I am still getting the  Encode Failed message just after Transcoding started on .prproj(video) file.

What else I can try to get it going on Encode on Encore to make the DVD.  I have used ApproCS4 File >> Adobe Dynamic Link to Send to Encore.

Any other advice would b highly welcome !!

Thx

Hi Stan

Thx 4 ur input to my prob.

I have removed the & from the file name..now it's Hant12..still does the same "Encode Failed" When start to encode the file.

All the file paths been changed to Hant12 also...no difference..

I have saved the file in Encore and started to Build..still the same error.

What a drama !! Never had this problem before...

The file size is 2.7GB out of 4.7GB DVD disk. Put a new disk also..still the same..

What else I can try??

Thx for giving me tips to  try out...

Hi Stan,

Thx for the update.

Yes, I am building the project using BUILD Tab and using File >>>Dynamically Link >>> to Encore in Premiere ProCS4.

This is never happened to me before using CS4...do u think that I have to re-install the CS4 again..

Whot a tragedy I am facing with !!

Thx 4 all ur suggestions..
