Encore doesn't give me the "don't transcode" optio

[kosarx]

OK, I have used this process many times with great results. For some reason, this particular MPEG is giving me issues. I'll describe my process:

I am converting sporting events to DVD. I first convert from VCR to my stand-alone DVD recorder. I typically use 3 DVD-RW's to convert a game (usually football). I then rip the 3 DVD-RW's to my PC into 3 seperate .vob files, one for each DVD-RW using DVD Decryptor. Then, I use MPEG2VCR to edit and create 2 seperate MPEG files, for each half of the game. I import the MPEG into Adobe Encoreand create menu. Then, I create a DVD folder, then use DVD Shrink to skrink and burn the DVD with Decryptor again.

No problems with this process. However, with this one particular MPEG, Encore wants to encode it before it creates the DVD folder. When I try to select "Don't Transcode", it is greyed out.

Any ideas? Again, this process has worked many times before.

Thanks for the help, guys!

Maybe your video is not the anal 720x480 spec it requires. Adobe Encore is really crappy for this reason, it does NOT support the full DVD spec, just a small infintesimal little sliver of it.

Thanks, lordsmurf, but I actually checked that as well. It looks good.

Issue resolved!

All I did was re-transfer from VCR to DVD+RW, re-edited, and it imported correctly into Encore.

Go figure!

Thanks again!
