    Trying to create WS DVD in CS4 and CS3

    jbandy Community Member

      I'm trying to create a Widescreen DVD in Encore CS3 with no letterboxing. I use the CS4 Media encoder to export video at 720x480 Progressive widescreen pixel aspect ratio, Quality high, CBR at 8
      I then created a SD DVD project in Encore and noticed that all the clips looked stretched to me. I tried playing them in Power DVD and they look normal or not stretched.
      I then tried to create a image and a disc in encore and recieved an error Internal software error at 00:00:00:00 %0, line Intro Part 1 of 2 - PGC info: name = Intro Part 1 of, ref = BPGC, time 00:00:00:00.

       

      I also noticed that Encore is having trouble exporting 2 clips that I created in CS4. The I exported them the exact same way but the clips that encore is having problems with clips that have a pixel aspect ratio of square 1.0. The other clips have a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2 (widescreen) When I remove the 2 clips with ratios of 1.0 I was able to successfully build a image.
      If I put them back on the timeline and conform them to 1.2 I cannot build a image.

       

      I'm guessing that something is wrong with my export from CS4. But I used the exact same settings.

       

      I tried authoring the same clips in both Encore CS3 and Encore CS4 and recieved the same error.

       

       

      I looked at my project settings and I don't see anything that I would change to make the project SD widescreen. I thought you could do this in this program What am I doing wrong?

       

      Please Help, I have to be able to do this today!
