Thanks Richard :-) Yes, I had a deadline of 3 days to re-hash a 50 minute video and 'learn' Encore, which wasn't too bad in itself. Only to find that CS6 didn't ship with any templates, to save on bandwidth. So like Richard, I started to design my own which on this occasion took longer than watching the tutorials.
But for the record, the templates for Encore (and Premiere) are available as a free download, it was all too quick to remember where exactly, they are on the Adobe site somewhere, trust me! (Heads to the Adobe forums...) Sure, if I'd of had the templates in the first place, it would of gone a lot faster, but it certainly was a learning curve! Encore is easy when you know what to do, which compared to Premiere, is a breeze. Simple way to 'dump' footage on a DVD to simply play with no menus: You create a 'timeline' under whatever your footage is shot at, input offending videos, render, dump on timeline, set all playback to loop, create DVD. Simple. SD, HD, FLV, whatever, Encore does all the work for you. Cheers, Neil.
