Hello, If anyone out that has had experience with Adobe Encore please let me know if this situation sounds familiar to you. I have gone through the tutorial a couple of times and have sucessfully outputted the DVD folders to my hard drive. When I play the files from my computer (both the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS are intact and together as Encore created) it plays fine with WinDVD 5. However, I have tried to make my own project but when I go to play it after Encore has built the folders WinDVD 5 loads but immediatly says STOP and the DVD never plays a thing. My project includes one mpeg2 file (720x480 "Closed GOPs" , created from an ATI AIW card), three audio files (.mpa exported from Ulead Media Studio Pro), and one subtitle track. Encore accepts all these files with no complaints so I am assuming that they are not the issues and maybe it is a navagation issue? I have even tried to make the simplest DVD that I could and it still just says STOP and never played. What I did was to make the timeline for the mpeg2 video file, added the three audio tracks and subtitle track to that timeline. I made the timeline the first play with no menu. It would play in the Encore simulation but will so the STOP thing when built. Here are some of the settings I have; Timeline: First Play End Action: Stop (I have also made it go back to the timelines 1st chapter, no luck) Override: Not set Menu Remote: timeline chapter 1 Disc: First Play: Timeline Chapter 1 A1 SX Override: Not Set Title Button: Timeline Chapter 1 Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! LegalKill

Why don't u define a black bmp as the 1st play that will jump to a second timeline that would contain your main title. As u describe the problem the main title doesn't get to play at all.

oddyseus, Thank you for the suggestion. I think I might of found out the problem this morning. I restarted the whole project again and this time it worked. The only thing I have done different is not add a subtitle track to the timeline yet and started over fresh. So, at this point I am not sure if Encore just bugged out on me or if the subtitle track was causing a problem. Will let you all know when I find out for sure. Thanks! LegalKill
