1. Re: Why does encore crash when I open a project made on enocre 1.5?
Bill Hunt Jun 30, 2010 12:38 PM (in response to fordchevyman)I have read of many issues trying to open PC En Projects on the Mac, and vice versa, even with the same version numbers. Only a guess here, but would think that there is an incompatibility X-platform, unlike with most Mac/PC versions of PrPro Projects. The two Project files, En vs PrPro, are quite different.
Remember, that is but a speculation on my part, and it's from reading of others' issues. I have never tried Opening a Mac En Project on my PC, but do so with tons of Pr/Pro Projects, and almost all goes well.
Good luck,
Hunt

2. Re: Why does encore crash when I open a project made on enocre 1.5?
fordchevyman Jul 1, 2010 11:01 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)That makes since. I did find out this morning with experience that if you import menus that you've made in enocre 1.5 they don't work to great. I had a menu with thumbnails with video motion previews that did not come across when when it came down to build the DVD. After the DVD burned, i put the created DVD in a set top DVD player to preview, and when I went to the chapter selection menu with motion thiumbnails I could not navigate to any of them. I had no control of the buttons. nothing would highlight at all. Went back to encore and created a menu from scratch and copied the thumbnail from the bad menu and that seemed to work other than the highlight arrow was really goofy looking, still flaky. So needless to say I'm goin to have to make new menus inside CS5 and not bring any buttons I made in encore 1.5. The photoshop graphics are perfect so I can take those elements just not any of the buttons ot thumbnails.
So I'm sure your right. Also a lot programing wise probably changed from 1.5 to CS5.

Bill Hunt Jul 1, 2010 1:26 PM (in response to fordchevyman)Remember, I was only guessing on that compatibility, but I've read of similar issues, without the X-platform aspect. Maybe Jeff, or another user, who's used many versions of En can reply.
Between you and me, I'd be more inclined to reconstruct (as you say, the PSD's can be reused), rather than try and sort out incompatibilities, and force things to work. For me, the Menus are the most labor-intensive part of an En Project. Where those exist, even if you need to Edit in Photoshop a bit, I'd start from scratch, just using the earlier Project as my guideline. I think that you might actually make less work for yourself in the end.
In my one Project to fail, I just started over (had most Assets just sitting already), and rebuilt. It worked the second time around, and I never bothered to find out what MY error was in the one that failed. Easier to redo, than troubleshoot.
Good luck, and let us know that everything works perfectly.
Hunt
