• Page 27: Chapter 3: Planning The Project

  Chapter 3: Planning the project Planning the DVD About planning The first task of authoring a DVD is planning. This planning can be as minimal as deciding to use a template to organize your family’s vacation photos and video, or as robust as using project management software to coordinate a production team creating an interactive kiosk.

• Page 28: Balancing File Size And Quality

  This balance is achieved by manipulating the video content’s data rate—either automatically (by letting Adobe Encore DVD set the data rate) or directly (by setting the transcoding settings or using a third-party application).

• Page 29
  Determining disc size Before you can prepare a bit budget, you must determine the size of DVD on which to distribute your project. Adobe Encore DVD can create projects for a variety of DVD sizes. The size you choose is based on the amount of video and the replication method.
• Page 30
  For video assets, the Adobe Encore DVD transcode presets use data rates ranging from 4 to 9 Mbps. You can edit the presets’ data rates, but you cannot exceed 9.0 Mbps, nor can you go below the Adobe Encore DVD minimum data rate of 2.0 Mbps.

• Page 31: Bit Budgeting

  For large, complex projects, though, bit budgeting becomes much more important to the authoring process, providing a check against the actual data rates achieved. Generally, for projects with less than two hours of video, you can skip bit budgeting and let Adobe Encore DVD set the data rate automatically.

• Page 32
  ADOBE ENCORE DVD 2.0 User Guide Average asset size Use the following averages for bit budgeting: If compressed using the Dolby Digital Stereo standard, audio is generally 192,000 bps (0.192 Mbps). Use 0.192 Audio Mbps or reference the settings for the audio encoder you plan to use.

• Page 33: Transcoding

  DVD-compliant elements that will be burned to the disc. (Files that are already DVD- compliant do not require transcoding.) The transcoding feature of Adobe Encore DVD is flexible enough for a variety of users. New users unfamiliar with transcoding can let the application manage the process entirely, while those with more experience can control it precisely.

• Page 34
  You can assign transcode settings and transcode assets directly from the Project panel. Upon transcoding a file, Adobe Encore DVD updates the project link so that it points to the transcoded file. Consequently, unless you delete the original file, you can revert transcoded assets to their original version. Adobe Encore DVD transcodes in the background, so you can continue to work while transcoding.

• Page 64: Chapter 5: Creating Projects And Importing Assets

  About projects Adobe Encore DVD files are called projects. A project stores links to all the content that you intend to include on the DVD, as well as the menus and timelines (which combine video or stills, audio, and subtitles). Adobe Encore DVD creates a folder for your project in the same location as the project file.

• Page 65: Aspect Ratios

  1.22, and as a regular 4:3 screen if it contains nonsquare pixels with a ratio of .9. Adobe Encore DVD lets you specify the pixel aspect ratio…

• Page 66
  Occasionally, an asset may contain incorrect information which, in turn, prevents Adobe Encore DVD from identifying it correctly. If you need to change an asset’s pixel aspect ratio, you can use the Interpret Footage command to specify it.
• Page 67
  The screen aspect ratio is determined by two factors: the resolution of the image and the size of the pixels within it, or the pixel aspect ratio. As the resolution for a given asset is constant, (for example 720 x 480), Adobe Encore DVD sets screen aspect ratios based on the asset’s pixel aspect ratio.

• Page 68: Importing

  To specify the screen aspect ratio Adobe Encore DVD determines the screen aspect ratio for you. You can, however, change it if necessary. The type of asset determines how you specify the screen aspect ratio. For menus, and timelines containing still images but no video, you specify the screen aspect ratio in the Properties panel.

• Page 69
  Also, because the content is already DVD-compliant, the time it takes to build the project will be reduced. Note: In certain instances, Adobe Encore DVD needs to transcode DVD-compliant files. For example, if the data rate of a DVD-compliant file is too high for the amount of content, the program transcodes the file to bring its data rate down.
• Page 70
  To import as a timeline You can import an asset and create a timeline for it in one step. When you import an asset as a timeline, Adobe Encore DVD places both the asset and its timeline in the Project panel. The timeline also appears in the Timeline panel.
• Page 71
  Importing from Adobe After Effects You can import a file from Adobe After Effects either as a discrete movie file, or as an Adobe Dynamic Link. The Adobe Dynamic Link option provides the most workflow-friendly import. It lets you import an After Effects compo- sition without rendering it.

  When creating a menu template, you can select the Self-Contained option, which determines how the menu template is saved in the folder structure on disk. If you select this option, Adobe Encore DVD creates a folder in the same location as the menu template (EM) file with the same name as the EM file. This folder includes the Photoshop (PSD) file and any assets used in the menu background, making the menu template easy to transfer to a different computer.

  To edit, reformat, or move subtitles You can edit subtitles that you typed in Adobe Encore DVD or imported from a text subtitle script. You can change the text, reposition or resize the bounding box, apply new colors, or change the character settings. You can modify either individual clips or all the clips on a track.

  Subtitles that you import into a timeline come with preset start and end times within the video. When you type subtitles in Adobe Encore DVD, the default display time is initially set to 2 seconds. You can change the display time by dragging the subtitle clips in the Timeline Viewer, trimming the subtitle in the Monitor panel, or editing the Duration value in the Properties panel.

• Page 163: Importing Subtitles

  About importing script files You import subtitles using a script file. Adobe Encore DVD accepts three different types of script files: Text Scripts, Image Scripts, and FAB Image Scripts. Scripts specify the start and end timecode of the subtitles. The big difference between them is that text scripts contain the subtitle text, whereas the two types of image scripts instead reference predesigned and formatted image files.

  You can import subtitle image files using two different types of scripts: image scripts and FAB image scripts.
