ENCORE ISSUE AGAIN

This has been discussed many times before, yet I feel as though Adobe remains silent whilst so many have complained. I have not yet found a clear reason why Adobe dropped Encore for CC. The popular belief is that optical media is dying and as such, there is no reason for an authoring program. I don’t fully agree with that premise, but even if it were true, there is still a need for Encore.

I produce videos with Encore, create ISO files with them and put them on a PC for viewing. The Cyberlink player works, as en example, very well with authored Bluray or DVD ISO files

Even without optical media, viewing a longer video production with menus and chapters has it’s advantages.

Now, with plans to puchase a camera such as a GH5 and film in 4k, Adobe’s solutions for authoring are unrealistic to the point of being absurd.

And, if I have a 4k film, why should I have to downscale it to 1080P? In CS 6, one can only create films in DVD format or Bluray HD format. The 4096 x 2160 4k is not available.

This is unrealistic. The solution would be to either update CS6 Premier Pro and Encore so that they can handle full 4k resolution or add Endore to CC. It’s unrealistic for Adobe to charge the monthly price that they do and not have a fully compatible Encore in the mix.

There seems to be a good way of of doing business and a bad way of doing business in the digital world. As an example, I have a Samsung laser printer that I purchased in 2015. The lastest drivers are from 2017. They no longer work with Windows 10. Samsung sold their printer business to HP and HP have not written better drivers. As a result and after lots of work, I was able to make the printer work using the Microsoft PLC6 drivers. But, why do I have to be the person to make their product work better when they won't do it themselves?

Recently, I purchased a Canon 7250 printer, it's drivers are up to date even though that printer was made in 2012!

Which business plan is Adobe following?
