Is the Encore CS6 version the final release of this product?
    Yes. The trend in the video and broadcast industry is moving away from physical media distribution. The
    future is in cloud and streaming content. Therefore we are focusing more on products that deliver to
    streaming services. For example, Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Premiere Pro CC include a new
    feature allowing users to create iPad-ready video with QuickTime chapter markers. The Encore CS6
    version will be the final release of this product.

Now with a PC Specialist Quad Core i7-3770, 16GB RAM, 180GB SSD, GeForce GTX560 Ti Graphics Card, Blu-Ray & DVD R/W Burners and can't wait to set it up. Now up and running.  What a difference in Blu-Ray footage.

Think you've missed Doog's point.
 
Adobe have rolled out CC editions of their software - BUT Encore has been dropped/omitted. There is and will not be a CC version of Encore.
 
They have taken out the dynamic link between Encore CS6 and the newly updated Premiere CC (previously called Premiere CS NEXT) which is a problem for some workflows (not mine thankfully).

@ Harry , I saw that Post :-)
 
and Adobe have dropped production of Encore, as they in their infinite wisdom believe that Optical disc Media is outdated and not the way forward....  they obviously haven't read this http://theconversation.com/more-data-storage-heres-how-to-fit-1-000-terabytes-on-a-dvd-15306   and not everyone is just going to dump their expensive DVD/Bluray players just yet....LOL

No they haven't.
 
Encore CS6 is still available, both to CS6 purchasers and Creative Cloud subscribers. Adobe haven't got plans to stop production of it. They may have stopped development of it, but that's something different than stopping production.
 
It's not straightforward to install it, if you're starting anew with a Creative Cloud subscription but all the instructions are here:

It's not just Adobe who think optical media are dead.

Apple never bought into Blu-ray, and you'll be hard pressed to find a current Apple computer for sale with a DVD drive. The new MacPro won't have one.

Rovi, who own Scenarist, the de facto pro DVD authoring tool, stopped selling it earlier this year, and are ending support at the end of the year.

 

In my own side-business, making special interest videos, our retail and wholesale DVD sales have dried up to nothing.  We sell via YouTube and Vimeo now.

The other week I had a conversation with one of my clients about how we were going to output her video. I did a straw poll amongst my friends. Not one has a Blu-ray player. People are watching HD content via download or streaming. We decided to distribute on Vimeo with a standby of H264 files via USB stick for anyone who couldn't stream the video files.

Although I edit in Premiere I never used the dynamic link to Encore, preferring to encode my own assets for authoring.  So, like Gavin, the DL is not something I'll miss.
