At first I rendered out two video clips with audio as MPEG2 BluRay with wav audio to be burned to disc from one Encore project timeline. The audio cut out shortly after going into the second video clip.
I read to export one long audio file to resolve the issue instead of having it broken up into two. I did and it fixed the initial dropout but now the audio drops out towards the end. I tried again with an ac3 audio file to no avail.
I need to deliver this BluRay today. Any ideas?

Any reason you didn't export the full video and audio as one clip rather than 2?

I'm doing that now but initially it was because I didn't have time to do another export. Logically, first big mistake, I didn't see the harm in two clips in one timeline. If the BluRay files worked after rendering from Premiere and play properly in Encore then all is good. Now I'm going to try with everything as one video and audio file.
Thank you for responding, Stan Jones! I'll post the results.

Multiple files on one encore timeline can produce problems. Usually this is because there are small gaps due to GOP boundaries. But sometimes you can never discover the problem.
Another alternative for you to get your project out is to use the original files, but place them on their own Encore timelines. Join these using a playlist. If you picked a good place to split the two files, this will not be apparent in playback.

Out of curiosity, does creating a playlist eliminate the pause that occurs at chapter markers? I'm guessing it wouldn't but I've never created a playlist.

I think it does not eliminate the pause. Encore has some bugs, but I think those for pauses relate to Loop points in motion menu. You'd have to just give it a try and see if it's acceptable.

You should only get a pause at chapter markers if you have added a command of some sort as the player will pause to read the command and then continue. I did not know that was even possible in Encore.
Try to avoid stacking clips into one sequence - this is not a good idea, and please remember to treat Encore as an assembly tool, not an editor.
