Adobe Encore DVD error

[EC]

When I wanted to import a movie in Adobe Encore DVD I got an error:
Could not import file xxx.mpg - the file type is not supported
what can I do?

[Forum Troll]

Make sure the file is a DVD-Compliant resolution and bitrate.

[guns1inger]

whats the source ?

[EC]

Details of the source file:
MPEG-1 VCD
29.970 FPS
352 X 240
Bitrate: 1150 kbps
Audio: MPEG-1 layer II
44100HZ
224Kb/s

Adobe Encore sucks for this very reason.
It does not support the full DVD spec.

However, your audio is wrong for DVD.
And the MPEG-1 may or may not have proper sequence headers.

i thought encore was a sweet software for burning?

i use dvd archetech.

have you tried that? or only using Encore?

[EC]

I converted the sound to 48000HZ and nothing changed.
I used just Adobe Encore.

Does Encore import muxed video? IIFC, it is the next gen of DVDMaestro, which only imported Elementry Streams.

Try demuxing video and audio into ES.

I demuxed the mpg file. I imported the m1v file into Adobe Encore and nothing changed.

If I will change the resolution of the video to 720x480 (standart of dvd) I will be able to import the movie in Adobe Encore?

You tell us. Run your video through RESTREAM and change the resolutions and try it.

SLK001:
The software only load MPEG2 files but I have MPEG1 file.

[SLK001]

I see nowhere in the Encore literature where is says that it will import MPEG1 video files. Strange... I thought that Encore was a higher level product. I guess that it is just another MyDVD type product.

Encore will not import half resolution mpeg's. It has to be full resolution.

Here this may help.
It is from the Encore Help file.

But no mention of MPEG-1 video files. And, a MPEG-1 video at 352x240 is a valid DVD resolution

If I will convert the file to MPEG2 720x480 with TMPGEnc (templete dvd [ntsc]) I will be able to impot the file in Adobe Encore?

[danzeb]

I had the same problem with Adobe Encore 1.0. it has some limitations when trying to import an MPEG1. Version 1.5 may be better. If you encode the file to MPEG2 720 x 480 you should be able to import it but you will have to try it to be sure.
