Adobe Encore CS5 supports rendering of high-definition Blu-ray video. This feature is especially useful for experts who create video projects using Adobe Premier Pro or Adobe After Effects. You can specify the Blu-ray video dimensions up to 1920 by 1080 pixels and adjust the frame rate. When creating Blu-ray videos, you can include the option of creating pop-up menus that are accessible during disc playback, a feature not available for regular DVDs.

Flash Websites

After finishing your project in Adobe Encore, you have the option to export it to Flash video. Using this alternative, you can create interactive websites or Web games and export them to your server or desktop. Encore creates three files when exporting a project as Flash: a SWF file, a XML file and HTML file. It also generates a Sources folder that contains the video and image files associated with the project.
Presentations
-
Adobe Encore is useful for composing business presentations because it has the ability to combine multiple videos, slideshows and data. Create slideshows using images in popular formats including JPEG, GIF, PNG and PSD. You can also add subtitles to your slideshow for each image. Finally, export your presentation to DVD or Blu-ray, or choose to export it to Flash and post the presentation online. One thing to remember is that Flash does not display slideshow subtitles
