Encore insists on transcoding already compliant M2V streams

[Zetti]

Hi all,

Has anyone also faced this issue ?

It happens with EVERY M2V stream I've retrieved from DVD discs using DVD Decrypter, I can state by sure that the streams are indeed compliant cause Maestro and Ulead WS2 accepts them with no problems; but Encore insists on transcoding; the option "don't ranscode" keeps gray shaded out

Does anyone have any clue on that ?

Thanks,
Zetti

Most authoring programs have options to control the output video quality. They usually have some preset templates or you can create you own. If the template that you are using does not match the input exactly, the program will encode the file to make it match the template you told it to use. You either need to use a template that matches your input file or create a new one that does.

Thanks, this is very true with Ulead programs, but I'm pretty sure it's not the case of Encore.

It allows to choose among a lot of pre-defined settings, but should also allow me to do not transcode the video if it understood it is compliant, but unfortrunately it says it is not and forces me to choose a setting to transcode it;

I know the M2V stream is MPEG2 DVD compliant in advance (maestro and Ulead accepts them, and Ulead doesn't force the transcoding);

Thanks anyway,

Zetti

Thanks, but actually no.....it doesn't help me......high bitrates or muxed streams aren't the problem, definitely, also it asks for transcoding 720 X 480 movies, which isn't the issue as well.......confusing,

Thanks anyway,
