Have you downloaded and installed the update? I tried Ulead Video Workshop 2 the other day, but I have to say that I do not want to incorporate yet another program for transcoding to mpg2 as adviced. I pulled my strength and motivation together last night and after 30 minutes, voila! I had a one-page menu with six videos created in Encore. Yeah, it wasn't fancy, but it worked. I think that I should accept that it DOES take some effort to get your products in the right packaging. I totally agree with your point that it is overbloated. I did make a fancy menu with animations and all the bells and whistles one time. I did some graphics in Photoshop and it turned out great, but it was really hard to get information on how the graphics were supposed to be formatted (with all the layers) for it to turn out as desired. One thing I do hate though, is how sluggy it is when I want to trim the in-out points of my movie. It is totally and utterly hopeless, and so I have to trim the clips in PPro. I do have a question though: how do I make a single and simple DVD in Encore with no menu and just some videos back to back?
