Hi,
I'm authoring a dual layer film project and bought Encore specifically because it had the capability of producing a DDP image for replication. The problem, however, is that there seems to be a serious problem with how Encore decides the layer break - which it seems everyone is aware of apart from Adobe! I've read every post going on this and the general consensus is that the manual layer break option dialogue box doesn't appear for most people (including me) - or supposedly only comes up when Encore can't find a good place to place the layer break between videos. My experimenting, however, would suggest that when set to automatic Encore simply splits the whole project exactly in two and places the layer break wherever it falls - no matter if it's in the middle of a scene (as happens for me). Without an option to set the layer break manually, however, I'm stuck. And so is my project which is due out by Christmas. I've seen people talk about using ImgBurn and Gear Pro to sort out the layer break issue outside of Encore, but this is crazy given I've just bought a product on the promise that it should do this. Does anyone have any insight into whether Adobe are listening to this problem, or whether there are any other work-arounds which don't involve buying more third-party software? I'm extremely frustrated by this - and especially the fact that it's been talked about on forums for a good while but nothing seems to be happening to sort it out.
Cheers,
Paul
