Blu-ray builds to an ISO always change my 5.1 audio to stereo.

I'm editing in Premier Pro CS6 and sending via a dynamic link to Encore. I'm building my menus and importing other timelines before making the final build as an ISO (Blu-ray Image). I believe I have everything set to the proper Blu-ray specs however the builds always change my 5.1 audio to stereo. The Blu-ray Transcode Status shows Transcoded and the Transcode Settings show Automatic for all the sequences and -- or N/A for the timelines.
Is there anyone out there who has idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated, thanks

I don't think you can dynamic link 5.1 audio. Encore will handle it as pass through, but with dynamic link, there is no compliant file for Encore to use.
If the Bluray transcode status shows "transcoded," it means that Encore has transcoded it (into stereo). You want to see "do not transcode," but by definition, dynamic link shows "untranscoded."
You can export the audio only as 5.1 and import that. Encore can handle the video only as dynamic link. But I worry about a very small difference creating sync issues.

Blu-Ray build results in a non-readable / corrupt iso-image

Hello
I have been working on a project that was created with PP CS5.5 using Windows 7 x64. The PP project has various footages in 1080p, mostly from Panasonic HDC-SD900 with 1080p 50p AVCHD material. There are some clips that were shot with Canon EOS 7D, and a crappy helmet camera. All the sequences were exported using H.264 Blu-Ray that results in m4v & wav files.
Everything works fine in Encore, even when previewing and checking the project, but when I build it to an image and mount it, windows can't read the image. It says it's ureadable / corrupt. I've tried to mount the image with three other computers, using Virtual Clone Drive and Daemon Tools.
Before I started to work on this project, I created a small test-image with Encore that had a few seconds worth of material from the SD900 just to see how blu-ray image building works, and it worked fine.
I've tried to change the BR-R size to 50GB in Encore, but I get same results. This was the only thing that came to mind, because the project output size was very close to 25GB.
I tried googling and searching this forum, but to no avail...
Please help.

Blu-ray build: no video (solid red, green, etc image)

Hey everyone,
If this problem has already been addressed, could someone please point me in the right direction? I searched and didn't find anything similar, but wasn't too sure what to search for.
My problem: Everytime I build a blu-ray project in Encore, I am getting the same result; the video will play (according to the progress bar on the player), but the image is always a solid color, sometimes it's red, green, tan, black, apparently just random, but always the same color throughout the entire video.
I have tried so many different things at this point, I'm at a loss for how to proceed further. I've tried this with at least three different projects, all of which were created in Premiere. I have attempted both the dynamic link from Premiere to Encore and exporting the video first and importing into Encore later. I have tried transcoding as .264 and MPEG2 (I am not very knowledgeable about the settings, so I use the defaults). I have tried building the project in Encore as a blu-ray folder and as an ISO. I have burned to discs and played just the digital files on my PC.
The video always plays fine up until after it is exported from Encore (that is, it previews fine in Premiere, exported video from Premiere plays fine in players like VLC, and the video previews fine in Encore).And I have no trouble building DVDs in Encore with the same video, timeline, and all that jazz.
The only thing I haven't done yet is gone to the trouble of trying to reinstall Encore, which will be my next step if noone here has any suggestions. I am running CS6 with all recent updates. I have been testing the blu-ray playback in PowerDVD and a PS3.
Like I mentioned above, I'm not very proficient in video. If I left out important details, just let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!

When I play the m2ts file, it works fine in VLC and also in PowerDVD. That's interesting, but I'm not sure what that means?
If the actual m2ts file from the Encore build does not show the problem, but what I assume is the same file on disk (or in iso) shows the problem, what could cause such a problem? (I don't know.) The more frequent oddity is a problem on burned disk and not on iso or folder, which points to the burner, burn speed, or media. But that does not appear to be the issue here.
I can't find the example at the moment, but try creating a tiny bluray project and see if the problem occurs. If so, you can upload it for me to take a look.
For example, one menu with one button, linked to a 30 second timeline, using a sample of your material that is causing the problem. If that shows the problem, I would also try a bars and tones sample to eliminat your actual video - although I assume your video is part of the equation.

External hard drive and blu-ray build-in player

Hi staffs,
This is fifth times that I contact you via apple support, I hope you guys won't be annoying with my problem ask.
Anyway, this time there are three questions that would like to ask and some of them might be suggestion for MacOS 10.10 before fall release.
first question ....., I'd like to ask about external hdd which i already plug-in to my mac but I can't move any files from Mac HDD to them even change the filenames for the files in there. Question is., do you have any suggestion or else as solution for this problem.......
second question ....., will be all about blu-ray disc player and burning as build-in or that you can integrated software as dvd player. I don't understand why apple keep away to put this solution into macos and why do users need to spend 3-12 dollars for purchase application in store for this innocent issue. I don't wanna say this as the question but I want this suggestion as the real case to make apple renovate dvd player to all content players and rename its to iPlayer or iMedia. I hope this case will be solve in coming macos x.
third question, about map application in marvelick os........why don't you put the quicklook or street view into application i really need it so much.
All these questions and suggestions are asking by sincerely mind and need so please not just sit and skip mine, so I look forward to see your reply. Thanks
Peter

If you would like to make suggestions to Apple, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
You are not speaking with Apple here. These are user to user technical forums and we volunteer our time to help.
First: how is the external hard drive formatted? If it is Windows formatted, Mac can probably not write to it, so check that first and then format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition scheme.
Second: Apple does not offer blu-ray because it does not have the license to do it. You can get an external blu-ray player/burner and then you need Roxio Toast to burn in blu-ray.
Third: give Apple the feedback on that.

Blu Ray building process stops at a certain point in Encore CS 5.5 for Mac....

In Encore CS 5.5, I am trying to author a 3:21 hour long video as one timeline imported from PPRO CS5.5 on a BD-DL. File size is 38.30GB. In transcoding everything works normal. When it comes to building, it stops at 26.87 GB or 26.92 GB. This has been happening third time in a row. From the sound it looks that Blu Ray burner is trying to continue with the burning process, but nothing happens. When I tried to burn the file as Image, i got Error Code 25. Can anyone help?

Did it give any error when you say that it stopped at some point while burning the disc? If it didn't give any error, for how long the burning did not proceed further? Sometimes the progress bar might stuck at some point but the burning keeps on going. You might want it to go overnight to see if this really hangs at that point.
Error code 25 while burning a dual layer image is a bug in 5.5. This is related to some kind of layer break for dual layer image. This should have been fixed in 6.0.1 (patch update to 6.0)

Chapters Incorrect on Blu-ray Build

I have been trying to build a bluray and dvd of a project i have worked on. When i build the dvd, it comes out fine. However, when i build the bluray, the chapters are all wrong. some are missing and others are randomly sprinkled throughout the project. can anyone help with this?
thanks

I have no solution, but think it might help, if I ever get around to testing this, if I get a more complete picture. What is the source material and sequence settings in Premiere?
The Encore transcode for DVD must be mpeg2. What do you have it set for bluray? H.264?

Best Way to Play Blu-ray disc/Blu-ray ISO on Windows 8

Nowadays, almost any computer can play DVD movies as long as there is a DVD drive provided, whatever it's a PC or Mac, homemade DVD or commercial DVD. But what about Blu-ray movies? Could your Windows 8 PC play this high definition movie formats without fuss? How to play Blu-ray on PC with Windows 8 system? This article will tell you the best way for playing/watch Blu-ray discs or Blu-ray ISO Files on Windows 8.
In order to watch Blu-ray discs or BD ISO on Windows 8, you must have three things: 1) a Blu-ray disc drive, 2) a Blu-ray movie, and 3) Blu-ray Player Software(Need decrypting Blu-ray function). It is this third one – software – that causes the majority of problems for Blu-ray users. The free player like Windows Media Player, VLC Player, etc don't have Blu-ray decrypting function and not support playing Blu-ray movies. So this Blu-ray Player for Windows 8 from UFUSoft will be the best solution for you.
Follow the following steps to Play Blu-ray discs or Blu-ray ISO movie and media file on Windows 8:
Step 1: Connect the Blu-ray driver to your Windows 8 PC via a USB connection. The USB of the driver should be above 2.0.
Step 2: Free Download the Windows 8 Blu-ray Disc/Blu-ray ISO Player and then install it.
Step 3: Insert your Blu-ray disc into the Blu-ray driver. Next, open your Blu-ray movie by just pressing the “Open Disc” in the main interface to select Blu-ray drive and then click "OK" button to load the Blu-ray directly. You can now enjoy your Blu-ray movies on Windows 8 PC.
Another option is to load Blu-ray folder, you can click "Open File" button to directly select the Blu-ray folder and click "OK" button, now you can watch the Blu-ray movie on Windows 8 PC.
Step 4: Stop the playing the Blu-ray movie on Windows 8. If you want to stop playing the Blu-ray disc, you only need click Stop Button and eject the Blu-ray movie.
Tips:
1. When you want to play the Blu-ray ISO image file, you need to load Blu-ray ISO image file to the virtual drive firstly, the open method is the same with loading Blu-ray disc.
2. While the video is playing, click the "Snapshot" button to take a picture from a video. Click Open Snapshot Folder to find the captured picture. You can choose the snapshot format and the snapshot folder in the Preference window. And also you can choose the image format like JPEG, PNG, BMP.
3. When playing Blu-ray disc, you are allowed to choose the specific title/chapter in the "Controls > Title/Chapter" column to play.
Hope this way could help you have no problem to enjoy Blu-ray disc and Blu-ray ISO files on Windows 8, more info please enter: Play Blu-ray disc/Blu-ray ISO on Windows 8 PC.

I am sorry to say that you cannot play Blu-ray movies on any Mac. Whether any of us agree or disagree with this, it is the way of things currently. One can rip Blu-ray movies to a Mac, and play them without menus or extras, but this is illegal and it is a violation of the terms of use of these forums to discuss.

Saving in Blu-Ray format

Final Cut Studio HD has an encoder that supports Blu-Ray format. So, if I purcfhase Final Cut Studio, is it possible to burn a Blu-Ray disk... or just to save media in a Blu-Ray format? Is there something like.. "an external blue ray burner?"

Here is the nightmare I'm facing...
FCP 5.1.4, Encore CS3. HDV edit in FCP, full rez QT out. Compressor interprets as 1920x1080 instead of 1440x1080. Whatever. When I apply an h.264 preset, the interpretation for output is 720p...huh?
So I gave up on Compressor 2.
I tried importing previously compressed SD MPEG2 files into Encore, rejected them. I've since updated to Encore 3.0.2 but I don't know if that's fixed it. Nonetheless, now I have to let Encore handle the transcoding of my full rez program(s) related to this project.
Buggy program, by the way. On 4 or 5 tries now of building a Blu-Ray project as an iso, Encore always reports the same error after MANY LONG HOURS of transcoding/building...Error code 6. Googled it, nothing useful on fixing it.
I am pretty desperate, does ANYBODY have a workflow for burning Blu-Ray video discs editing in Final Cut and authoring in Encore WITHOUT Premiere in the equation?? For what it's worth, I do not have Premiere installed.
Thanks in advance.

Partial Audio Missing on Blu Ray Disc

I have a project that is approximately 90 minutes that was created in Premiere CC. When I burn a Blu Ray disc for this project using Encore CS6, and subsequently play the disc in a Blu Ray player, the last 4-5 minutes of audio is missing. It plays perfectly all the way through in Encore when I watch it in the monitor, and if I play the audio file separately on my computer, the entire thing is there. I don't understand what could possibly cause this issue. No matter how I transcode, MPEG2, H.264, etc. it still has the issue during playback on a Blu Ray device. Any suggestions?

Regarding Encore building a Blu Ray disc and having the audio quit part way through the video, I also have experienced that nasty problem.
From reading the Ray Tisdale postings on this issue, I discover that I had a similar problem, and have discovered a resolution which I wanted to share, to help others experiencing this mystery (which I have no doubt there are).
My project is 15 chapters of story, one hour 10 minutes total, a documentary, developed in chapters using Permier Pro in CS6. These were developed separately, exported to files separately, imported into Encore, then placed in sequence on a single timeline. This is how I am accustomed to doing it, having recently migrated to CS6 from Sony Vegas Pro 12.0/DVD Architect 6.0 (If DVD Architect did not blast the image resolution down to approximately VHS when producing DVDs, I would still be using it). The project in question was originally developed using Sony Vegas, but I could not get image quality up to decent standards (two years of messing around, debugging, dealing with tech support, and etc.), so I ported the entire video image for image and word for word to CS6, essentially manually remaking the entire video for the second time (a six month part time effort).
Reading Ray Tinsdale's post gave me the clue as to what might be happening with my project. As a BD I would experience full program operation when Previewing and when burning a DVD, but a Blu Ray build would make a disc that started off fine - three complex menus with music and the first chapter working fine (audio and video) but part way throuigh the second chapter the audio just quit and stayed missing for the remainder of the video (images were fine, full BD resolution).
No amount of effort would resolve the problem. Besides trying multiple changes - such as synchronizing file format of all audio, and innumerable other attempts at guessing the cause - this (requiring about two days of my time) included taking a brand new Solid State Drive, installing Windows 7 from distribution disc, installing all computer drivers, and only software necessary to run CS6 (including Encore), update windows (192 updates) and CS6, and all other software, and protect from internet virus (etc.). A computer as fresh new as it could be from the factory still produced the same problem when Encore made a BD disc. This effort narrowed the problem down to being an Encore problem. P.S. I had done the same with Vegas Pro to determine the image resolution was an internal Vegas problem, not my use of the program or details/settings of my project.
On reading Ray Tisdale's resolution I revised my project to have 17 timelines (including two others besides my 15 story chapters - such as splash screen and etc.). Timelines are linked as necessary to play as if the chapters were sequentially placed on one timeline. After some brief and trivial debugging using the check project function, I rendered to a folder - discovering that the audio was not missing, although I was unable to get it to play as a BD disc from the folder. With this success I burned a BD disc and now I have a BD video with audio from start to finish.
Although I now have a working video with audio start to finish (as I designed my documentary), there is an annoying pause between chapters as the BD player shifts between files (each chapter/timeline is built into a separete file and linked as specified). From my DVD Architect experience I know that the only resolution to this (pause between chapters when playing on DVD or BD player) is to produce a single rendered output file combinining all chapters in Premier Pro, then to render it as a single huge output file (requiring an equally huge amount of time - this was 12 hours with Vegas Pro, and I have not yet tried it using PP). When the single huge output file is imported into Encore and placed on one timeline chapter markers are inserted at appropriate points, so that navigation menus can function as designed.
Now, I suppose that I am better off than with Sony Vegas. Both have extraordinarily annoying and mysterious deficiencies and bugs (which the program vendors will not admit) and extraordinarily annoying problems. But at least with CS6 I get good quality video images.

Encore CS4 is transcoding compliant Blu-Ray audio assets when set to 'Do not transcode'

Hi there,
I have a Blu-Ray concert video project consisting of 3-menus, 4-sequentially linked timelines (intro-1, intro-2, main concert timeline, and credits).
All audio assets consist of 96k/24-bit WAV files from the same professionally rendered mastered audio source.
Here's the issue:
When importing my 96k/24-bit audio assets in Encore CS4, they all show as Blu-Ray compliant and maintain the 'Do not transcode' property in the assets menu.
However, after rendering the project to Blu-Ray I immediately noticed that the main concert timeline (2-hrs 10-min) had been transcoded down to 48k/16-bit while the other smaller intro/credits timelines had rendered correctly and were playing back at the desired 96k.24-bit rate.
In order to eliminate possible issues with the main timeline's audio file source, I created a smaller main timeline (35-min) using the exact same audio source files and lo & behold - the main timeline was not down-transcoded and is playing back at the desired 96k/24-bit rate.
I'm wondering if there is a non-documented limitation in rendering audio files over a certain size as my main timeline is made up of 2-total WAV files of 2.2Gb each.
I have the ability to import a single AIFF file at 4.4GB for the main timeline - but for some reason CS4 does not recognize AIFF files as Blu-Ray compliant and will show the transcode setting as 'Automatic'.
Imported AIFF files always showed as 'Do not transcode' in the Blu-Ray assets menu in Encore CS3 (even though there is a documented bug which prevents rendering AIFF audio to Blu-Ray and I would have to convert to WAV files and re-import anyway in CS3).
My next step is to try splitting the main timeline into shorter chunks, but this is not the direction I want to go in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Cheers

Ok, solved my own problem - solution below for those with similar issues.
1. My audio timelines exported from Final Cut Pro as AIFF are actually 'AIFC' which is technically not Blu-Ray compliant, thus Encore will need to transcode. Unfortunately - Encore has no quality preset settings for dealing with PCM audio transcodes higher than 48k/16-bit (why not?). Encore CS4 will happily pass 96k/24-bit through to a Blu-Ray build without transcoding if the supplied file is true AIFF (not-AIFC) and/or similarly compliant WAV files.
2. My main Encore timeline consisted of 2-WAV files at 2.2Gb each placed in a single Encore timeline due to the total audio being over 4GB thus requiring me to split the source audio files in half in order to stay under the 4GB limit for WAV files, and also because I had to export the FCP audio timeline using Compressor in order to generate Blu-Ray compliant audio files (non-AIFC). Also - (possible bug?) if Encore has 2-separate audio files in the same timeline it will transcode the audio to the current project's default audio settings (48k/16-bit in my case) - even though the assets are showing as 'Do not transcode' in the asset menu for Blu-Ray. It clearly states in the Encore CS4 manual that imported WAV files at 96k/24-bit will not be transcoded - but it appears in this case when 2-audio files are placed in the same timeline that it will transcode with no warning - bothersome to say the least.
I suppose the alternative is to work with a lossless audio format which supports files larger than 4GB - which would only require a single audio file for a single Encore timeline, but other than DTS Master Audio (not available on this project) I'm not sure what audio format would work in Encore to support 96k/24-bit audio files larger than 4GB.
If anyone knows - drop some knowledge!
-Cheers

     But the menus are the same as 4.7 or 8.5 Gb '. But when I do the blu ray and burn the ISO menu is green but the film is direito.por it owes nothing to do with the layers
open a menu of any library in this case was the encore wedding montage Wide Menu. edited in photoshop to 1280x720, 1280x1024, 720x576 and it was the same green screen and the Butterfly clearer in the chapters but not read.
     The format of the project is 1280x780 50 fps PAL. I've worked with cs4 work right and never had this problem since I upgraded to BR cs5 never worked.

Blu-ray Error: "file not found", Code 8 and "Fatal Error", Code 6 Bug Resolution

Hello All,
After 4 wasted hours, I found that a Blu-Ray build will fail if the name you give the disc (altered from the default, "Untitled Project") is over a certain number of characters. The interesting thing is, a DVD build using the same timeline and chapters (if you have to author both SD and HD discs) will work fine. I do not know the number of characters that should be the limit, but Encore allows more than that limit. Beware, this was a time suck that cost me a day. Hope this helps someone.
Best Regards,
Mike J

Burning the BDMV is not the same as burning the image. You could try burning the BDMV and the CERTIFICATE folders. But Toast should be able to burn the image.
