You are like a lot of users here (me included) who have issues about Encore encoding.
The one issue I always had with Encore is the encoding. I would rather ask now, then waste lots of time downloading trials, etc. Most consumer level authoring packages don't allow either of these requirements.Ĭan anyone give me suggestions on other authoring tools that will give me this level of customization, perhaps TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5?
I also tried Magix Video Pro X5, but it did not allow the custom navigation. You'd get to the end of the sub pages then the prev buttons would be the default all the way back to the first sub page, which would then have the next button highlighted again.Īnyway, I have tried Sony DVD Architect, but the demo keeps crashing on me.
This is hard to explain, but the idea is that once you select the "scenes" button from the main menu, you can navigate through all the sub menu pages by just hitting the "enter" button. This would continue until when you link to the last sub page the default selection would then be on the "prev" button, since there are no more "next" pages to go to. Then hitting enter will bring you to sub pg 2, again with the default selection on the "next" button. Scenes will link to submenu pg1 with the default selection on the "next" button. For example, on the main menu there will be two links, "Play" and "Scenes". Specifically, there are two requirements that I need.ġ) I want to be able to have multiple audio tracks.Ģ) When the main menu links to submenu pages, I must have the ability to set what button gets linked to (defaulted to) on the next submenu page. Since Adobe has stopped developing the software, I am looking for a replacement. I have been using Adobe Encore, on a PC, to author my DVD's for many years.
