    Encore CS6 Transcode issues

    davidbeisner2010 Community Member

      In previous versions of Encore, selecting "Automatic" for the transcode solution on my DVD has always given me the best possible transcode to fit all the video I had prepared onto the disc. In this version, the "automatic" solution gave me the highest transcode available for an NTSC DVD, and ultimately left me with three times too-much data for my disc. I had to manually create a transcode setting at a bitrate that would allow me to fit all my video onto the disc (only two hours, so certainly not too much for a DVD). Anybody know why the change in behavior with the "automatic" transcode option? It's rather frustrating because it was so quick and easy to just set it at automatic and know that Encore was handling it properly to give me the best balance between quality and quantity for the disc.

       

      Also, where do we go now to select whether to use Encore or AME for transcoding? That option appears to be gone from the preferences menu... In previous versions I experienced faster transcode times using AME over Encore, and would like to continue doing that.

          Can you give some more details about your project. The project size, duration. Also did you compare it with CS5.1 Automatic settings? How much is the difference betwen the two?

           

          Also, to use AME for transcoding from Encore in CS6 -

           

          Mac -

           

          Goto Encore->Preferences->General and select the check box " Transcode assets using Adobe Media Encoder aaplication"

           

          Win -

           

          Goto Edit - >Preferences->General and select the check box " Transcode assets using Adobe Media Encoder aaplication"
