Build and arrange slide shows with ease. Define shows as browsable or autoplay with optional narration or music. Set slide durations, add transitions, and apply pan-and-zoom effects.

Project checker
Verify your project at any time during production. Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 checks your navigation for broken links, verifies bit rates, checks subtitles for problems, and presents the results in a sortable list.

Work smarter with intelligent workflow

Adobe Photoshop integration
Create menus in Adobe Photoshop file format, using the Photoshop technology built into Adobe Encore DVD 2.0. Edit menus in Photoshop CS2 and see your changes instantly in your DVD project.

Updated user interface with workspace panels that dock and group
Organize your desktop quickly with workspace panels that dock and group. Move divider lines between panels to adjust your layout quickly, with no need to resize multiple windows.

Adobe Bridge
Browse, organize, and preview content files, and then drag and drop what you need right from Adobe Bridge. Search by or edit XMP metadata such as keywords, language, and format.

Integrated background transcoding
Let Encore DVD 2.0 automatically convert source files to MPEG-2 video and Dolby Digital audio, or manually adjust settings to optimize your DVD compression.

Adobe After Effects integration
Send a menu directly to Adobe After Effects 7.0 software for animation, export your animation as a movie file, and then add it to your menu background for a stunning motion menu.

Design with total freedom and control

Native Photoshop menus
Import native Photoshop files or create new menus in native Photoshop file format. Buttons, text, and images are stored as layers and layer sets so you can edit them later in Photoshop CS2.

Motion menu creation
Combine powerful Photoshop CS2 editing tools with video compositing tools to create unique motion menus.

Professional mastering tools
Create DVD masters using DLT tape and incorporate DVD-standard copy protection, region coding, and playback controls.

Integrated text design tools
Add and design text directly within Encore DVD 2.0 using tools similar to those in Photoshop CS2.

Styles panel
Easily apply styles to DVD project menu components. Use the supplied styles, or create your own by simply dragging them from the Menu Editor.

This review is from: Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 Upgrade [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

I've been using Encore since its first release. I don't know why many people complain about bugs and files corrupted. I've never had any problems in 3 years using this software. This is no Windows movie maker or iDVD. This is a serious prefessional software. If you want to learn it you should be comitted to research book like Adobe's Classroom in a Book or any other kind of tutorial book. I use this software at a professional level. I send DVD masters for mass reproduction every month and Encore has never failed me. I just upgraded to HDV and it handles it well too. I used to use Ulead DVD and as soon as I got Encore my whole production changed.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Bug Nest, June 11, 2006

DON'T BUY! This piece of software is full of bugs and inexplicable system errors. I have never been able to complete any project. Every time, my project gets corrupted for no reason and then need to be rebuilt from scratch. If you don't believe me, please visit the Adobe User Forum and read through all the messages from users crying for help with program and system errors. I own the whole Production Studio Suite but I ended up buying DVDit in addition.
