Audio clipping on Blu Ray

When I export using Encore to Blu Ray, the audio CLIPS! I can hear it clipping, especially the bass. I can't turn it up loud as I can when I am in Premiere. So wierd! In the editor Premiere, it works perfectly fine without clipping.
I've tried the highest audio setting to no avail
Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
MrD

Hey guys sorry for late reply.
Basically my levels are all below 0. I make sure in Premiere that no audio is clipping beyond the Red zero point.
I tried to watch it back on my computer with the blu ray drive playing the disc. I used the same speakers and computer setup as I did in Premiere... Also I tried watching it on a friends TV and it sounded clipped. I did not turn it up all the way, but it had that distortion I could hear.
@NIEL, the codecs I've tried are the two for blu-ray, Dolby and PCM. Either way same result... hmmmm

  • 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.

  • Mp3 audio tracks for Blu ray menus

    Hello, i have 3 blu ray menus (720p) and have linked each menu to a different audio file to play when the user selects the menu. When i preview, all audio tracks play correctly for each menu. After burning, only the main menu plays the audio while the others do not. I created a folder during the build process. My preset is Mpeg - 2. Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Some MP3's work fine, but some others do not.
    I always convert any MP3 to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and have never had an issue.
    Now, as I often am working with DD 5.1 SS, when that is the case, I Export to DD AC3 @ 48KHz 16-bit, and those have always worked fine too.
    Let us know if things work better with the PCM/WAV files, instead of those MP3's.
    Good luck,

  • Encore Menu Audio Glitch in Blu-Ray

      I've been trying to burn a BRD in Encore for several months now and have not been successful as yet. I can burn a disk in Blu-Ray with operating menu and everything is fine -- except - I cannot get the menu audio to play for more than 10 seconds.  I've tried using a custom menu made from Photoshop, menu from the Encore Library.  I've tried converting the audio from mp3 or wav to AAC format.  I've tried using Adobe Media Encoder to encode the audio. 
    I do not have these issues when burning a regular DVD.  Regular DVDs build just fine.
    I have checked everything in the Encore menu properties box and everything appears to be fine. I've reviewed the training disk and I appear to be doing everything correctly.  I've tried everything mentioned in this forum -- I think.     I've tried importing the audio asset as a .wav, PCM, AC3, and mt2a.  I  My system specs are listed below.  Can anyone provide any additional information on how I can fix this?

  • Whether / when to convert to PCM audio burning to Blu Ray discs

    I have been exporting FCP Sony HDV sequences as QT self-contained mov files into Toast 10.0.2 and burning via a Lacie BD external burner onto BD-R discs. They look and sound fantastic. But was wondering, I have stayed with the Dolby stereo audio tracks for the process and let the BD player do the down sampling to PCM audio for the HDMI output to my LCD monitor.
    Is there any advantage to my setting the encode to burn PCM audio tracks on the BD-R discs? Will this take longer? (already 25 to 30 hours encoding and burning a 90 minute QT mov file.)

    I think you have it backward.
    PCM tracks are uncompressed. You're compressing to AC3, and your DVD player is playing AC3.
    PCM tracks will leave less bandwidth available for the video.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • Audio popping after burning blu-ray in 5.1

         Just as a disclaimer, I am fairly new to Adobe Premiere and I am running Premiere Elements 8 on a Sony Vaio with an Intel Core i5-580M processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 GPU, 8GB DDR3-SDRAM-1066 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
         I am attempting to create blu-ray disks in full HD and 5.1 surround sound. Source video is full HD 1920x1080 with .M2TS extension. When I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 check the properties for my videos, it says the source audio format is "48,000Hz - compressed - 6 channels" and the project audio format is "48,000Hz - 32 bit floating point - 6 channels". This is despite the fact that the source should be 5.1. However when editing videos "5.1" shows up next to audio 1 on the timeline. I read something about this issue and I assume this isn't the cause for any poor audio after a blu-ray burn.
          I create new projects using these settings:
                   NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel
         After some quick editing I burn a blu-ray disk with the H.264 1920x1080i NTSC Dolby preset. When checking the quality of the burn the video looks great, but audio has a distinct popping or crackling occasionally that is not in the source files at all. Anyone have any ideas why a burn causes these audio blemishes to show up? I have never had any issues with 2 channel burns and I will probably just end up sticking with 2 channel audio if a solution can't be discovered. Also of note, the audio output is much lower from the burned copy than it is when played back from the source file. This will happen even when the clip volume is set to the max of +6.0dB. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks.
    If I play the original mts-file with Media Player Classic, the audio appears 99.9% clean. Using my headphones and 30 second test section, I could locate one barely audible "pop". PrE timeline zoom couldn't show any spikes or anything else suspicious, so I looked into this by extracting audio channels with Mediacoder to wav-file and checking how it looks at Audacity. One channel appeared to have this small step which caused the "pop". This is best described by following picture:
    Then, when I export the video (or just audio to wav-file) I get dozens of these similar steps which sound like "pop". Sometimes it is just on one channel, sometimes on both channels. They appear at every 2...3 seconds or so. For comparison, this is how the "pop" looks like when exported from PrE:
    Any further suggestions what might cause this increase in "popping" or how to fix it?

    I have a problem.
    I want to buy a motherboard with X58 Pro-E and build HTPC HD Audio.
    What does this mean "TRUE BLU-RAY AUDIO" ?
    There is no HDMI output, only S/PDIF !!!!!
    - There is no HD audio bitstream (DTS-HD MA/TrueHD) - no HDMI !!!
    - Does not decode HD Audio -> LPCM 7.1 - no HDMI !!!
    - That decodes the HD Audio (7.1) to analog?
    - If only decodes HD from Blu-Ray Stereo (via. SPDIF)?

    • The loss-less content protection technology with full-rate audio enjoyment from Blue-ray Disc
    • Support for 24-bit / 192kHz sample rate offers high quality digital decoders and speakers
    • support 7.1 channels playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs
     There is no HDMI because there is no onboard video. The video card you get would need to have HDMI output.
    LPCM: Linear Pulse Code Modulation. It is an algorithm used to convert analog audio to digital. It gives pure loss less representation of the original analog audio in digital.
    7.1 is the latest in speaker configuration. Mono is one speaker, stereo is two, 5.1 has 5. The problem with 5.1 is it produces angled audio. To get the best out put you have to sit in the center and all speakers have to be placed the right way. 7.1 solves those problems, even if the speakers are not perfectly aligned you still get very good results.
     S/PDIF-out JSP1 on MB connects to video card for HDMI sound.

  • Importing Blu-ray m2v file--over 3hrs and still 0% Completion

    Running Encore CS3 on a Quad-core, 3.5GHz. I exported via Adobe Media Encoder from Premiere CS3, a 18 minute Blu-ray format video with PCM audio, using the Blu-ray preset.
    I then tried to import these files into an Encore CS3 Blu-ray project. The video was at 0% progress when I decided to go out with the wife and kid for dinner. We did some shopping and returned 3 hours later. After all this time, the encode was still at 0%. CPU utilization was only 25% and not using all four of my cores.
    How long is this encode supposed to take?
    Seeing at it was going so slow, I cancelled it and I noted that the asset was there in the Project list, but when I put it on a timeline, the preview shows "Media Pending".
    At any rate, I thought Premiere's Blu-ray encoder was supposed to put this file already in the native format. Why is it transcoding again? And why is it so slow on a 3.5GHz quad core?

  • Problems with blu-ray pop-up menus

    I made the mistake of tacking this question/problem onto another similar post, so here it is again for some:
    I got this error message near the end of the disc build:
    Blu-ray Error: "fatal error". Code: "6", Note: "Graphics buffer underflows.&#8232;- Failed to multiplex with maximum IG PTS: 54900000 (in 90kHz).
    The blu-ray project I am working on is an 87 min live concert with about 8 other much shorter timelines.  The main menu has 6 buttons with a motion background.  There are few submenus as well, but the problem came when I started making pop-up menus for the various timelines.
    This is the first project where I really had to explore the possibliltes and limitations of Encore's pop-up menus.  I burned a test disc with just a basic pop-up menu to see how the menu's opacity would look over the final video.  All the video assets were set to to transcode "Automatically".  All audio assets are blu-ray compliant Surround ac3's or 16-bit stereo WAV's so could be left as "Don't Transcode".  This disc burned perfectly.
    I then went through the pretty involved process of making a final version of the main pop-up menus.  The main concert's pop-up menu has 5 pages (including page 0).  There are specific pop-up menus for other timelines, but those have no more than 2 pages.  None of the menus have more than 10 buttons.
    I tried to burn the disc, and it came back with the error above.  After reading some other posts, I thought it was worth a try to delete the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder before starting a new burn since it was already filled with files from my test burn.  That didn't help.
    Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    After countless tests and research, I finally have a successfully burned blu-ray with WORKING multi-page pop-up menus (that I am happy with).  Thank you to all the people who gave theoretical guidance and suggestions in emails and other posts.  There has been no shortage of oddities and obstacles to overcome when just trying to make a simple blu-ray.  Unfortunately,  I did not have the time to accurately pinpoint what was causing the original error message.  The project just needed to get done.
    The main pop-up menu has 4 pages, with 13 buttons on each page.  Only about 5 - 9 of the "buttons" on each page are actual buttons that link anywhere.  The other buttons on each page only serve as the remaining pieces of the menu's background and cannot be accessed on the final disc.  Totally ridiculous way to make the backgrounds for pop-up menus, but it works.
    Some of the other things I learned regarding pop-up menus + Encore misc:
    1.  If at all possible, totally create a menu .psd BEFORE bringing it into an Encore project.  Make the button order in the .psd what you want it to end up being in the end (bottom layer is button 1).  If you start editing and saving order after it has been brought in, Encore will almost always revert it back to some strange (possibly original) button order.  You will spend all your time re-routing button navigation and changing their numbers, only to find out later that Encore has changed it all back without notice.
    2.  As many people state, it is best to have Encore do as little thinking as possible.  All of my button groups originally had Text Layers within them with some fx applied.  I merged each text layer down into that button's background layer to essentially rasterize the text with the fx applied.  Each (+) button group therefore only had a higlight layer and a background layer.  After doing this for all the buttons, the .psd file size was greatly reduced.  Naturally I saved a copy before going through the merging process in case I ever had to go back and edit the text.
    3.  Originally the background for the pop-up menus were made from a rectangle cut-out of the background of the main menu.  This was the width of the frame and around 1/5 of the height.  I had changed the opacity to around 60%, and cut up the pieces to go with their respective buttons.  For the final disc, I just made a shape with the Rounded Rectangle Tool, and filled it with a solid colour.  It is probably only about half the size of the original pop-up menu's background.  I changed its opacity as well, but then merged it with a blank layer so Encore didn't have to think about the opacity setting.
    4.  I encoded all the video elements BEFORE they were brought into the project.  There are some issues with the way the file sizes are interpretted by Encore, but I won't trust it to encode anything again.
    5.  For some reason Encore wants to transcode 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .aiff files when making a blu-ray, but 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .wav files do NOT need trancoding (for both dvds and blu-rays).

  • Final Cut 7 - problems burning blu ray

    Hi
    Got my final cut studio upgarde today. Looks quite nice. Having trouble to Share to a blu ray disk. Redering takes quite some time and during create disk the progress goes up to 60% and stops.
    I use an LG Bluray burner with a SATA to ATA adaptor. No problems under MAC OS X or Toast.
    Any ideas or similar observations?
    Regards
    Rainer

    My bad, it seems I did screw up the machine. I had some recent changes (ie: larger Harddisk, Studio upgrade and more) and besides the Bluray problem I did run into some other issues fe: not being able to shut down, start up problems etc. So I followed the instruction for the reset and voila the issue is resolved, FCP now even renders faster. Sorry I have to say that I am just a MAC user since one year and perhaps with a bit more experience I should have been able to resolve this much quicker.
    But since the problem became visible juts after the upgrade I was sure it must have been coming form the software. I "shared" the HDV clip to blue ray, and after the much faster rendering the burning went fine.
    Regards

  • Toast 9 Blu-Ray FCE Codec setting?

    Hello, I have been experimenting with the new Toast 9 since it can produce HD clips in Blu-Ray format on standard DVD+R's to work in a BD Player.
    I have a new Sony AVCHD SR11 camcorder and import it into FCE4. I have tried several codec's but when Toast burns the disc in Blu-Ray it forces the the image to 4:3 from 16:9. I viewed the file and it plays 16:9 in Quicktime but the BD plays in my PS3 and my Sony 300 BD player at 4:3.
    I cannot figure out what Codec to use in FCE4 and hope others have figured this out. The picture looks great played on a BD player except the image is squashed to 4:3
    Thanks for the help

    Thanks for the reply. It is 1920x1080 in QT. I was poking around in this forum and noticed guys were trying MP4 to play back on a Blu-ray player. I will have to try that out. So if I get this right, all that Toast 9 is doing is converting the file to MP4? I might have to do a little more research. I was hoping others were playing around with this.

  • Blu Ray drive not working at all

    I have an HP ENVY 17-j092nr Notebook PC.  The Blu Ray player that came with it was the Mat**bleep**a BD CMB UJ 162. This drive worked, and then stopped.  It won't read any disc of any kind at all anymore.  Not audio CDs, no Blu Ray discs, no program instalation discs. Although I recently upgraded to Windows 10, this was an issue when I had Windows 8.1.  So it's not a Windows 10 problem. Checking the upper and lower filters in the registry, deleting them, re installing drivers, getting rid of iTunes, none of that has worked.  My device manager says the device is working properly. What the dirve does do often, with or whithout a cd in it, is it'll click three times, as though trying to read a disc, and then stop.  The action light on the dirve itself flashes while this is going on.

  • How do I burn BLU-RAY DVDS from my iMacs?

    I own a video production company and we can burn dvds in compressor, but we can't figure out how to setup a menu with multiple tracks to select different options.  Like a menu page.  Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac or by using an optional software? 
    A couple times compressor has gave us errors on burning a normal mov clip to Blu Ray, so if you recomeend or know any other softwares or even if I have to purchase a PC just to burn Blu Ray DVD's, can you please help me.

    Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac or by using an optional software?
    I do this using iDVD which is no longer available from Apple, but still available as part of iLife 09 and 11 versions from online vendors. You can either use Chapters or (my preference) simply import your videos as separate movies which will then show up as separate entities in the menu (and selectable separately).
    FWIW, Macs do not support burning or playing blu-ray without additional software (and a blu-ray burner) -  Roxio Toast is one that will work.

  • Blu-Ray audio does not loop properly on simple menu

    I have authored a Blu-Ray disc using CS4 of Encore. Each menu is very simple: No motion elements. I have added a short clip of music to each (about 30 seconds). This is already transcoded AC3 audio (to ensure it matches the audio on the main movie(s)).
    When playing back in test mode, the menus play fine. However, on a PS3 (the only BD player I have), it plays a few seconds (up to 10 seconds) of the audio and then loops. The false loop point occurs at different times on each menu.
    The loop point on the menus is 0. The audio length is set to 30 seconds in the project and the menu is set to loop forever.
    Anyone else come across this?
    Thanks

    Seems that this is a bug (rather bad one, actually), but there is a work around of sorts.
