Adobe DVD Encore "glitch" ERRRR

[likwid8]

Correct me if Im wrong but Adobe DVD Encore is an excellent program when it comes to making your own DVDS, especially when creating amazing menus and chapters. One thing although that I noticed is that if I were to load a preset DVD file (mpeg-2), just so I can make my menu and chapters, when making a DVD folder it transcodes and thats what really bugs me. Why cant it just make DVD folder without transcoding anyway to avoid that? Or export the menu to another program so i can load it and author it? Thanks.

RECAP:
---------
Will load DVD mpeg file and I make menu + chapters
But when authoring it transcodes (not needed)
anyway to avoid that?

What the reason you don't like transcoding process?

[likwid8]

Because my video is already encoded to DVD, i just wanted to load use DVD Encore to make my menus and chapters... why re-encode the video again? any other programs that can let me do this without encoding?

TMPGEnc DVD Author does exaclty what I want but the templates are awful

In the project tab, right click on the name of the film. When the drop down box appears choose transcode settings>don't transcode. See if that works.

Did ya try to convert the video without audio (m2v) and then the audio to AC3 with Acid or FFMpeg? Import those assets (video.m2v and audio.ac3) and place them in a timeline. That works for me. Never transcodes that way.

Well no never tried that, I guess ill demux my mpeg file to a m2v and a mp2, and load the m2v separately and then convert the mp2 to a ac3?, wont mp2 work fine without converting to ac3? thanks let me know.

[likwid8]

ok i loaded the .m2v file only without audio and it still transcodes, errrr

[haznut]

The mp2 should work just fine...but with AC3 you´ll get the same sound quality, about 1/3 the size of the mp2, and it´s multichannel...mp2 is not.

Well i don´t understand how that cannot work...how did ya encode to m2v? what is the format/codec of your original video? Did you try what Laddydaddy suggested?

Maybe is have old version of Encore like 1.0 or beta version.

not quite sure if this is what is causing it, but once transcoded the project will use the trascoded file as reference. if you want to transcode it with other settings, you have to select the avi or wav, right click and select "revert to original" (don't know the exact english translation) - then it will use the original avi or wav as reference, from there encore will reencode with the settings you choose, or in your case, NOT reencode if that's what you select.

hope you understand what i mean...hard to explain.
