Why is Encore not being updated to CC?

I've used Adobe for 2 years now and love what Encore allows me to do in DVD authoring.  With the new CC suite, I'm not sure I understand why this product is being "dropped".  I know that those that don't have it can install it, however I'm not sure why Adobe dropped it as in the Mac world I don't know of a DVD authoring software package that does what Encore does.

One of the things I was hoping they would fix was the output for DVD images does not change from project to project.  If I have Project 1 and I have it create a DVD image and give it a folder and file name of Project1.iso and then open another project, Project 2, it does not chnage the ISO name saved when I closed Project 2.  It still says Project 1 (and if the folder path is long, you can't even see the iso name unless you click in the field and scroll all the way to the right).

Is everyone still using Encore or is there yet another option out there that gives as much flexability in creating paths and navigation the way that Encore does?

    1st, you may still use Encore CS6 http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/ just not with Dynamic Link (which sometimes has problems anyway, for some people)

    2nd, I have not used it, but there is an Encore alternative http://www.deskshare.com/dvd-authoring-burning-software.aspx

    See http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/faq.html for Adobe's explanation.

    Very poor explaination on Adobe's part:

    Is the Encore CS6 version the final release of this product?

    Yes. The trend in the video and broadcast industry is moving away from physical media distribution

    (Sorry but those of us who are in the biz of DVD creation for High School Productions, Recitals, Concerts are being left out of this comment.  Maybe being a full time Software Developer and a frelance Videographer is time to create a new DVD Authoring tool)

      The idea of dropping this product is totally absurd IMHO! Since blu ray was released most people still use dvds and I do not see this going away in the next ten years or so. Fo instance if we have to include interactive closed captions or subtitles for internet and all future methods, how are we going to achieve this in Premiere Pro and AME!

      I will be grateful if someone from Adobe would come around and record a tutorial on creating interactive subtitles using PrPro and AME. In a couple of years to come Encore would be incompatible with the operating systems and this means that DVD and blu ray authours will be doomed. I started using Encore since CS3 and have never seen major upgrades except the CS6 64 bit. Why can't Adobe just modify the code to allow this app work with the other CC family until blu rays and dvds have all ceased to exist!
