Frage von sven.s:
Hi Folks,
We are looking for a (semi) professional DVD Author program. What would you recommend? InsideWeb unfortunately I have no useful comparisons found in the DP and the last test is synonymous already several months old.
In the inner circle are not currently Adobe Encore and Sonic DVDit Pro. Pros? Contras? Alternatives?
Thank schonmal
sven

A first impression on the working methods and the functionality of some of Programs you can get at http://www.videohelp.com/author. Programs described therein are more for domestic use.
As Me: The last "50 ¬ program. However, to make the Programs for household s.and s.Probleme (see this forum).
For professional / commercial use is worth a higher output, the Programs and rarely make problems are more 'zukunfstsicher "(Blu Ray, HD ...). If even Sonic, Scenarist then :-)
Antwort von sven.s:
Hallucinations and thank you for your contributions!
What bothers me s.DVD-lab, is the lack of simulation function. Though you can test the menus, but not the entire disc without compiling it does not completely. Or because I've missed something?
Encore For example, you can jump s.beliebiger place in the DVD "" and all Steuerungesmögl. with the virtual remote control to try. There's at DVDlab sowas?
And how schauts with scripts from?
Antwort von AndyZZ:
With the preview of the menu is in my opinion the only advantage of Encore. Scripting mastered DVD-lab Pro, because one must be familiar but synonymous. Encore does not do that. A great advantage of DVD-lab is the visual menu structure that has probably only s.Version Encore 2.0.
I have DVD-lab Pro v1.53 at home and so far have not regretted a second. In the meantime had sold Encore 1.5 and have it again.
Antwort von sven.s:
Hi Andy,
with respect to flow diagram has actually tightened Adobe. This then falls away as a decision. The lack Preview DVDlab really bothers me, however, is the price, of course, unbeatable.
Has anyone other than the lack of Project overview nor what specifically disturbed in Encore? One could hope that the simulation function is implemented in DVDlab soon:)
bye

Hmmm. is already almost a year ago. I was partly too cumbersome. Perhaps I was simply synonymous with comfortable, I really incorporate.

Hi guys,
I'm 1 weeks with Encore DVD 2.0 rumgequält - and was bitterly disappointed at all that the program can not.
And then I have the trial version of TMPGEnc DVD Author pobiert 2.0. Rumgespiet 3 hours and bought. Well I finally got exactly the menus, which I've always wanted.

Thank you

Greeting Wiro well, even in principle, but even the world's best DVD authoring specialist will be able to generate zb DVDlab with no preview. Does not stop. To that extent, it depends not
only on the user.
da Vinci is synonymous with ner toothbrush can not paint Mona Lisa :-)
Thus, it is interesting to see what
the program everything (can not)!
Antwort von Mr Jo:
Well ..
then you can make me so smart ;-)) So I had the problem that it has not been able to create a main menu, whose contents were shooting clips of the respective sub-menus. In the sub this thing worked smoothly - on exactly this question I received here in the forum, unfortunately no answer for hours reading the help has solved the problem in any way ..
Furthermore: Animated main menu (with selected clips of me, do not create for me) in length of 50 seconds, plus background music .. And a fade-out function, volume control, and this music is missing .. As it stands, the video clip has created previously defined for length, may be hidden, and and created in the desired volume.
Next: Slideshow with Encore .. wonderful, you can even make virtual camera moves through the pictures .. but only 1 transition as the default transition between images. You require additional transitions must be defined in this manual. Such thing as random assignment of different transitions do not exist. 99 images slideshow on limited, as is generated for each picture a chapter .. times even the selected background music heard? The violence against Americans in every chapter transition. It follows: slideshow feature completely useless.
I felt the work with Encore as tedious and lengthy. The handling is not intuitive. Normally I would expect that I have an Imported films can simply drag the Timeline to define chapter. But there must be with the right mouse button, the part of the Timeline, add ..
There is no question that the function of the linking of chapters in Encore is unbeatable, but for various things, I'm just queued. Then I had the New TMPGenc DVD Author 2.0 just fine .. what was difficult in Encore, there is easy, fast and really intuitive.
Maybe my problems can be solved here, yes. Then I'll have to judge the matter may be new.
Greeting Mr Jo
Antwort von Wiro:
da Vinci is synonymous with ner toothbrush can not paint Mona Lisa I see it differently.
If da Vinci had complained about his life that his brushes, easels and paints for this and that are totally unsuitable, the Mona Lisa would not have arisen before.

Antwort von Jörg:
Hi Jo,
so a little bit, I could well imagine what you missed. From old posts Your preferences are well known. This may be only: Encore is definitely not made primarily for slideshows, just as APP ....
That is so something like this can also create, all right.
99 slides should be enough, they were nevertheless almost 3 times and the slide film s.Stück.
The right mouse button you may indeed not at all? Ctrl + T for the experimental timeline.
The animated menus audio, etc. I have the impression that you are confusing with Encore Edit and composition programs. Everything you want is to get out easily. Just not entirely in the egg-laying ..
The animated menu is created with me in AE, in each (for me) and kind imaginable way, is the corresponding audio in APP or synonymous Audition or AE, as it happens.
I would not get the idea of trimming my audio in Encore.
How long now my menu is always synonymous with what content I decide themselves how often, etc. Also loopt
Perhaps a flaw lies in the assumption of Adobe, Encore would run with the rest of the family. Whoever does so will not support your criticism.
Seis drum, you have found the SW of your dreams, and only that counts.

Antwort von sven.s:
ok, the problem with the lack of Vorschai DVDlab has relativized somewhat. When you create the DVD, you can set the option to "test compile" Enable. It will then skip the film and replaced by stills (for 3 sec). While still not ideal but schonmal much better:)
Antwort von Mr Jo:
Hi,
Encore is definitely not made primarily for slideshows, just as APP .... That is so something like this can also create, all right. @ Joerg - APP 2.0 points of the time I complained Flimmerfehler the stuff no longer. Thus, it has become my new favorite editing program .. And it shows that the developers of APP 2.0 have the behavior of APP 1.5 also recognized as incorrect. ..
Nevertheless, and however:
So somehow I do not look .. Let's just about no polemic, but constructively solve .. And of course, in Encore ..
The challenge:
I have 5 ready-cut film (or 2 movies, 3 slideshows). The finished projects are already available in Mpeg2. Now I would like to tinker a pretty menu in Encore 2.0. This at first I miss the respective film chapter. This I do in the Encore Timeline. Let's assume that I've missed every movie now for simplicity only 4 chapters ..
As a next step, I now create a menu for each of these films - this, I create a problem synonymous, synonymous, I get the background, the background music, the Loop and regulated the amount of time. That particular menu, I can assign to the wonderful individual chapters respective films. Where no problem ..
Now I have is, 5 menus to 5 shooting. And these 5 menu, I would now like a main menu parenting, so that the existing sub-menus to be. So I set up my main menu, with the appropriate links to the respective sub .. And these links are text buttons .. link synonymous and good work .. On the cobbled together, the flow chart that is s.sich ja genial ..
But what I do that from this text buttons movie clips? You know certainly the tutorial movie about the new features of Encore 2.0 - Just as it looks to me. A main menu with text buttons to submenus with film clips ..
Even if I add any links to the main menu and the submenus simply pull in the flow chart in the main menu, I just get a thumbnail of the sub - but I would just like to see a thumbnail instead of the 50-second sequence of the film ..
Now I would expect that I am in the properties of this simple text button or thumbnail of a sequence of clips you want to define me .. But far, so trivial that seems to be not ..
What am I doing wrong, where it hooks in my head, how can I solve this problem?
So guys do not praise the program and told me that everything can, I can not stop .. please how do I get exactly the subject ..

Greeting Mr Jo na dann mach video from your text buttons buttons. Take the set of Encore or Photoshop as a prefix before the% level.
Your 5 x50 sec.clips have you done done in Premiere, the link you now in Encore. The rendering of Bewegtmenüs not forget that it should have been.

Antwort von Skinnyrules:
Hi Jörg,
I'm beginning to understand .. see at But honestly: Is this a simple, intuitive way?
This reminds me s.meine programming beginnings. Something had to be kept for each list box in the dialog, the wheel reinvented. Define the list box: Width Height, relative position in relation to the upper left corner dialog, Height, font, background, frame, list field name, identifier name. Selection of the field content via input from * ini files, or from SQL databases. Vorabbestimmung the field size, so durchlaufenlassen counter or results Rows query. If one so fluid after 2 years shakes out of his sleeve, then it is really easy .. now click the Joungsters in the progi with 3 mouse clicks together ..
Many THX for this lesson, I'll sit down time .. 'm just not thinking in that direction ..

Antwort von prem:
simple and intuitive? Probably not, that's probably not a Programm.Comparison to earlier versions, Adobe Encore 2.0, however, is a boon-Honestly, would not grovel here repeatedly brought a ray of light in, I'd be converted. The beneficial effect of 2 is well thought out, well enough of the function may be that others do even more.
Good beat but is synonymous here with the end of the other Adobe programs. Who builds his menus in Photoshop layer comps scriptet, this animated in AE ... hat was. Whether all of this effort, however, is necessary and reasonable?
Test again Jo, Wiro's right, tools and crafts must be right.
Gruß Jörg
Antwort von AndyZZ:
In DVD-lab you can build your menus synonymous put them together in Photoshop. DVD-lab can. Read psd files and detect the levels of synonymous. A bit of fine tuning, of course, is always remained.
