1. Re: Encore 1.5 vs. CS3 upgrade results in auto jitters and slow transcodes
JSS1138 Oct 17, 2009 8:24 AM (in response to cutmymovie)I did not notice any significant difference in the Automatic transcode speed or quality between any version of Encore. I'm not sure what might even cause such symptoms as described.

2. Re: Encore 1.5 vs. CS3 upgrade results in auto jitters and slow transcodes
NolfiVideoPGH Nov 2, 2009 3:15 PM (in response to cutmymovie)I have been having problems with CS3. I have been getting a sawtooth effect on almost all my DVDs. I have tried everything I know. Out of desperation I went back to Encore 1.5. No problems with sawtooth at all! I loved 1.5 and CS3 looked promising but I have been frustrated with how the video keeps turning out. The transcoding hasn't been slow for me just bad video.

cutmymovie Nov 2, 2009 10:07 PM (in response to NolfiVideoPGH)Thanks for posting and indeed let me know if you find a solution. For me it was like I said before, manual transcoding. I haven't had a project yet to try the field frame issue in auto. I also couldn't go back to trying 1.5. The interface was horrid. Had windows EVERYWHERE and had to move them around constantly to get to other windows. I don't move a single window out of default in CS3. I'll post again if I find anything else out.

5. Re: Encore 1.5 vs. CS3 upgrade results in auto jitters and slow transcodes
cutmymovie Nov 13, 2009 11:29 AM (in response to cutmymovie)There is definitely something fundamentally flawed with Encore's transcoding of avi files to Mpeg 2 for dvd.
I've pretty much given up now trying to transcode in Encore itself.
I just do not understand why Encore trips over my AVI files occasionally, when other programs can take the same AVI files and make Mpeg 2 files out of them that Encore is perfectly happy upon importing them.
I think I mentioned before that I upgraded from Encore 1.5 to CS3 because no matter what I did, Encore would error when trying to build a dvd, a dvd folder, a dvd image. Now it happened to me AGAIN in version CS3! I even tried reinstalling Encore CS3 with no improvements.
Luckily, I found out that Premiere Pro 1.5's media encoder seems to work. Also does a big thing I needed it to do: Create the GOP or whatever to add chapter marks on the exact frame I needed it to be on. To do that you have to add a numbered marker at the exact point on the timeline in Premiere. When you are done transcoding, take the mpeg2 file along with the audio wav file that Premiere creates and put them on the timeline in Encore. Then you can add the same chapter marks in the exact points you had them in Premiere. I think in later versions the chapter marks carry over from premiere into encore, but I'm happy that I can at least put them back in the exact frames in Encore.
Other programs make the mpeg 2 file and you can only then put chapter marks where the GOP is I think, every 5 or more frames.

JSS1138 Nov 14, 2009 7:28 AM (in response to cutmymovie)Typically it's every 15 or 12 frames for NTSC.
