Burning DVD without Encore

[batkins]

How can I create DVD title menus and burn a DVD of a file created in Adobe Premiere Pro CC without Adobe Encore (as it is no longer available for download)?

[kglad]

you have to have a cs6 license or use a non-adobe program.

[sjgruning]

With the latest Mac upgrades, using Encore 6 is not even possible.

Search the net for DVD authoring systems. There are quite some.

DVD Styler for Mac and PC.  This  is a free program.

With Creative Cloud you should be able to download Encore CS6 from "Previous versions".

unfortunately that is no more an option: Changes to Creative Cloud Download Availability | Adobe Blog

Note that as pointed out by kglad in post 1, you may be able to accees Encore if you have a perpetual license to a product that includes it (PR CS6, Production Premium CS6, etc). But it is no longer available as part of a cloud subscription.

I even tried to fool my new system by my original version Creative Suite Production studio Premium to see if I could have it install Encore DVD.  However, it said that the After Effects and Encore programs are updated programs and I needed a license number for both After Effects & Encore to complete the install.  I don't have those anymore so I'm out of luck.  Something that I found kind of funny though is all of the books still have the plastic wrap on them and never been opened.  Oh well, I'm off to find the next greatest DVD authoring program out there.  I remember I had a free program on my old Dell T7500 Precision workstation but I have since shut that system down and moved onto the newer T5820.

Also, on the new CC, you can no longer install Premiere Pro furhter back that CC 12.1.2.

If you hear of any programs that offer the DVD authoring program (either inside of Adobe or not), please let me know.

You don't install Encore... you install Premiere Pro (CS6 or earlier) and the bundled Encore is also installed

Alternatives to Encore (which I already posted in reply #2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DVD_authoring_software

Yes, I understand that but CS6 is not available anymore through Creative Cloud...PP 12.1.2 is the farthest I can go back.  I've been looking over the list and it's so hard to find something like Encore that had professional looking menus that are fully customizable.

Take a look at either EasyBD Studio from https://dvd-logic.com or DVD Arhitect from https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/dvd-architect

EasyBD Studio is afaik still alive while DVD Architect is end of life since years back. EasyBD Studio has a hefty price tag, DVD Architect is cheaper but lacks some features such as pop-up menues and the ability to use BD compliant H.264 and limit you to MPEG2 unless you buy Vegas to encode the files.

Cyberlink Power 2Go 13 has a free demo version.  It does not have the ability to import your own backgrounds

[Sierra Gray]

True, but their full version does do a lot of what you need, and it works.

[Media Editor]

With Cyberlink Power2Go 13, I am able to burn about 25 minutes on a DVD.  It  plays on a DVD/Blu-ray player.  The quality is as good as Blu-ray.  I can create an H.264 file  in Premiere and Power2Go 13 does not reincode the video file.  I select the AVCHD format.

[neil wilkes]

Your best bet is DVD Lab Pro 2

There is a 30 day trial period.

It requires you to feed it properly formatted elementary streams (DVD MPEG-2).

For Blu-ray you need to spend serious coin.

I purchased Premiere Elements 2020.1 and it still does not support burning a DVD. Tech solution to burn the ISO file with another program.

[Ann Bens]

Only window version of Elements 2020 supports dvd.

[Sierra Gray]

This is not the case. I have the latest Win 10, installed March 6th. Tech support said it was the drive, however it works great with other software.  Tech support would not say what drives work. I purchased a new DVD drive delivered today, same problem.

Not going to try other options.  Will return the software when I receive a RA number.

Mac or Windows?

[Sierra Gray]

Windows 10, Version 1909.

[Ann Bens]

I checked I my copy of 2020 on windows shows a disk/dvd option under export and share.

Make sure firmware is up to date.

[Sierra Gray]

I did not check that as it is a new drive, MFG started 2018. Will look into that in the AM.

Thanks
