Why is Encore not included with Premier Pro CC as advised previously?

I have purchased versions of Creative Suite CS6 and the popular plan for CC 2017.  I was advised that Encore would be included with Premier Pro CC when purchased.  Information I can find reveals that I need to use Encore CS6.

Is this my only option to create DVDs or Blu-ray?

Parts of Encore were licensed from another company, which was bought and "killed" by yet another company... Adobe seems to have decided not to try and write a completely new version of Encore

>Presumably ImgBurn comes at extra cost

Read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1322583 for notes on installing Imgburn WITHOUT any toolbar add-ons... Set Imgburn to use the slowest burn speed your drive and media will use... I set my burn speed to 1x and let Imgburn adjust to the actual minimum

I have replied to this single input that should also include the previous from Ann Bens and Michael Stehly.

I had included in my question that I already purchased Creative Suite CS6.  This includes Encore CS6 in addition to other CS6 apps including Premier Pro CS6. Using Encore CS6, I have successfully created menus with DVDs from videos using a Panasonic PV-DV952 digital tape camcorder.

Ann had suggested I use Cineon for Pro Res editing Exports for Sony 60 fps HD AVCHD video to maintain resolution.  As I have found this appears to be similar to an Adobe MXF file.  In the final Export, I will use either mpeg2-dvd or H.264 bluray preset for DVD or Blu-ray.

Michael has useful information to create an Image File(iso) in Encore for use with ImgBurn to burn DVD or Blu-ray discs if Encore burns create problems.  Presumably ImgBurn comes at extra cost.

I now find that CC 2017 has been upgraded to simply CC in the latest updates.  It is a pity Encore was not updated into CC.

Encore is a tool to author dvds and BDs.

In order to get Encore you need to install Premiere CS6 from the CC app.

Export from Premiere 2017 with mpeg2-dvd or H.264 bluray preset.

Load files in Encore, make menu and burn.

Create an Image File(iso) in Encore.  Use ImgBurn to burn your DVD or Blu-ray discs.  Trying to burn your discs in Encore is not usually very successfull.
