Blu-ray & DVD

Have you installed Adobe Creative Suite 4 and can't actually get anything done in Encore or Soundbooth because they will not open old projects or maybe not even open at all? It's probably because you are trying to use it on a domain and have folder redirection on. Apparently Adobe don't think you are going to use their programs on a network! This is how I managed to get Adobe Encore CS4 and Soundbooth CS4 working in the end.

Stream 1.5 has not been updated in a long time and so does not provide multiple CPU support when encoding MPEG video. This is quite annoying when encoding at max quality and you drop frames because your 8 cores are not being used! You can add multiple CPU support by updating a couple of DLL files.

So, you're trying to import some perfectly good assets into Adobe Encore for your Blu-Ray or DVD project?

Whats that? Its sitting there at 99% or something and not getting any further?

Yep, Encore is a load of shite. But I think I have found the solution.
