A year or so ago I upgraded Encore 1.5 to CS3 because I just couldn't get 1.5 to work on one of my discs. Upgraded to CS3 and it worked.
But since then I've had problems. Automatic mode on 1.5 worked flawlessly and accurately fit my big avi file onto the disc. I've stopped using Automatic in CS3. High motion areas in the video like pans or people walking across the screen were completely jittery. That problem goes away when I use manual settings. The new problem is that transcodes are brutally slow compared to what 1.5 used to be. Used to take 2-3 hours to transcode with 1.5, now it takes like 6-10 hours consistently in my projects.
Did they change transcode engines from 1.5 to CS3?
Perhaps it is my older processor? I have a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz hyperthreading processor. Just wondering if CS3 Encore is designed for duo or quad core processors and maybe the hyperthreading could be screwing things up? I know there's a way to disable hyperthreading and I'll probably try it next time regardless of the response I get here.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Has anyone found solutions?
