Error Setting Up Transcoder Cs4
• PRINT • NEXT >> • Error Setting up Transcoder (not answered previously) by ryan loetscher on Oct 28, 2010 at 6:24:44 pm Looked at the other posts for this issue, did not find the solution. Pretty straight forward: Mac 2x 2.26 Quad, Encore CS3. I have 13 tracks that add up to about an hour, separated into two menus with thumbnails, and a title page menu with a 14th "play all" track. All videos were compressed in Telestream Episode 6 with standard DVD encode settings. All videos say "transcoded" in the Encore project... all audio says "un-transcoded" for some reason, but when I try to transcode them in Encore it says they are already DVD acceptable formats. Problem occurs when I click to transcode anyway... or if I just try to build the project... it says Error Setting up Transcoder. I checked the transcodes folder as was suggested in a previous post and there is nothing there to delete. I am trying to re-encode everything now, but since that is going to take me a while I thought I might as well post for other explanations while I'm waiting in case that doesn't fix the problem. On an added note, two of the audio files kept coming in at only a few seconds, which is wrong. I had to re-encode them several times and eventually re-injested the files of the disk and encoded those and that seemed to work... probably unrelated to this issue, but worth mentioning.

Thanks! The audio format could very well be the issue... When I get past another deadline today I'm going to check that out and get back to you. Unfortunately CS3 is all I had access to... had I known about the bugs I would've just designed in DVD studio pro, but as it I designed elements in Photoshop and know the Photoshop-Encore connection better.

"Encore failed to encode" & Limitations & Recommended Settings In one Adobe CS6 Encore (a DVD constructor) project, the [Check Project…] feature found no problems, but on attempting to [Build] the project, the following error was reported: "Encore failed to encode". A web-search (further below) revealed that this error message could have reflected any of a number of potential problems. In my specific project's case, I found that shortening the filename name fixed the problem. Possibly the filename length was the issue, but it could have been any of the following (experimentation is needed to confirm what it was). https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/145/868865 Possibly Encore doesn't like one or more of the following, as regards either filenames or, possibly, the total text representing the volume, folder-chain and file-name. Long filenames Possibly the limit is 80 characters. Specific kinds of character in the filename, such as: Spaces (it's safer to use underscores instead). Unusual (legal but not popularly used) characters, such as "&" (ampersand). It is possible to configure http://blog.davidesp.com/archives/755 Encore to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) instead of its own internal one. Doesn't work for Encore's [Build] operation but does work for its [asset >RtClk> Transcode Now] operation. The advantages I expect of of using AME in this way: It has been said (as of CS5) that AME is faster, being 64-bit as opposed to 32-bit for the encoder in Encore of CS5. I suspect/hope that AME might also be more robust than Encore's internal encoder. …and also higher quality; indeed one post implied this may be true for CS6. Consistency is a great thing; having used AME from Premiere etc. I expect any lessons gained will apply here. AME has some nicer usability-features than Encore, such as a Pause button and the ability to queue a number of jobs. These features could be handy for encoding multiple assets for a DVD or Blu-Ray Disk (BD). For me, the learning-points about Adobe are: Potentially (to be tested) the best workflow for Encore is: Encode via AME: Preferably from Premiere. Or via AME directly Or, if Encore is so configured (away from its default) then via its [asset >RtClk> Transcode Now] opt

I have never successfully completed a project in Encore due to this. Any error setting ideas? Also, is there a way to avoid Encore altogether and still get a nifty menu through Premiere Pro 1.5? The only reason I am even concerned about this is because this project requires a menu. Thanks for any help.

As for adding menus in Premiere. I'm afraid that this is not possible, you can only burn a simple DVD whihc will only play the movie (with chapters).
