Problems with "DVD buttons "highlights"" made in Encore CS5
fordchevyman Jul 7, 2010 6:42 AMBefore I begin I am running a MacPro Xeon Quad processor early 2009 model with internal Pioneer BDR-205 Bluray burner. Using Production Premum CS5 upgrade. I upgraded a real old version of Premiere. I hope to someday be able to use my MX02 Mini from Matrox when they get the supported software ready, as currently it only supports CS4. I did try to install since I bought it from videoguys and they gave me the assumption it worked together. But uninstalled the software and too the card out.
Am I the only person that has Encore CS5 that has problems with getting DVD's to represent the navigation button highlights correctly. I've always used Encore 1.5 so I'm accustomed to Encore and know how to do everything that needs to be done in the software. When I Upgraded to the new Production Premium encore was not to much different looking, just a few visual changes to the interface but not many, same as for after effects and premiere pro so I feel right at home with the all the software. I ran accross, to me, a major bug with the encore software, and maybe I'm the only one with this problem, remeber I'm using the Mac version.
When I make a Bluray everything is perfect the menus, buttons, the navigation highlights for the buttons, all come out the color they are supose to be. When I make a DVD the problem I encountered 100% of the time is the "DVD menu button highlights" come out so messed up. Some colors for the highlights want even display on the TV your watching it on. Then some colors look sketchy or dashed istead of solid, real "glitchy looking". Blurays handle any highlight color correctly and represent the way the supose to on the TV your watching. Please note if you watch a DVD you made on a laptop or computer the highlights come out correctly. If yo watch the DVD you made on a NTSC tube tv, HD ready projection tv, HD DLP projector, or a LCD TV the button highlights do not display correctly, and sometimes don't display at all.
I even ran a test by just using the preset menus in encore and I used the ones that are not specified as HD and I get the same problem. I did not chage the titling or anything except I set navigation to the buttons. In my finding I have found a work around that appears to work 100% of the time. Use black or white highlights, rgb value 0,0,0 or 255,255,255. These work everytime but if I use any color other than these two problems, problems, problems!
Talked with an adobe agent on the phone and he did a remote screen to see my screen and everything I'm doing is correct. They seem to not know of this. Has anyone had this problem, if not let me know what your doing.
