1. Re: Does Encore CS4 has Autosave function like Premiere Pro
Stan Jones Oct 29, 2013 5:32 PM (in response to Michelmnr)There is no autosave function.
You can do a "save as," and the old version becomes your backup.
But if you did not save a copy at the time, you can't go back.
You can go into the project folders and see if the menu is one of those saved. But even if it is, all the links etc must be redone.

2. Re: Does Encore CS4 has Autosave function like Premiere Pro
Michelmnr Oct 29, 2013 9:42 PM (in response to Stan Jones)Thanks - Yes I was affraid of this. Actually I can use my original project that has the same main menu with the harder work already done. I wonder what could have messed up the new one?
And my second project, I just encoded following your tip, went too big for the folder I picked because I did not delete the previous one (it could be around 45gb! In single layer encoding I could only see 26gb?). This is the one whose menu is messed up. and it has a blue line in the building area that seem to be how far it encoded before running out of room. But now it gives me a msg that there is a problem with Photoshop...this is I think the menu failling.
I also thought that blue line may mean the encoding could be happy to continue if I created more space on the folder. So I'm trying to redo the menu for what it may be worth.
Anyway I think I learn a lesson, "save a copy manually as you go" with Encore!

A good lesson. I developed the fear that anything, even "save as," will mess something up, so the lesson I have learned is "Always expect to start the project over from scratch." I see the original as the testing to get all the problems fixed. And I rarely have to start over (since CS3 anyway).

4. Re: Does Encore CS4 has Autosave function like Premiere Pro
Michelmnr Oct 31, 2013 5:33 AM (in response to Stan Jones)Say that again, I finally fix the project to encode and probably would have done better starting from scratch too. I find the size confusing. I noticed the blue line seems to be the size of the project. I added back my HD video clip and it seems to show 37 GB. But this time I won't hold my breath to long and "que sera, sera" I may have to do it all over again! it just a shame to waste so much real estate. 12, 15 GB is a lot especially when one think about DVDs. I may need to think about finding appropriate BR size
I found the above in a "recovered session! But today I have to report that I have not made any progress:
I noticed whilst burning with imgburn there are a lot write Retries (440, and I'm barely 2% complete. I must admit I have no idea how all this works - I can see the buffer at 100% and the device buffer line flicking to 100%
I just lowered the writing speed that was X8 down to X2 (here we are at 3% with 550 write retries).
I was quite hopeful with the setting to DL 50GB that should have been the problem.But!
According to imgburn, the source shows 35316,957,184 bytes so it should fit onto 50gb.
I know all this is very complex and I'm not up to it to understand the whole process - yet knowing I have had one successful burn and in the past I had not trouble with DVD burning - I should get somewhere!
Searching more for an answer I found a 2009 post that talks about BD DL and suggests each layer will only take 25 gb and therefore we should try to have two parts no more than 25 gb in the project to burn on a 50gb DL BD? Have you heard of such thing?
Well It's almost 7hours and the burning is 96% - Since I have no changed anything I don't expect too much about this session.
