Authoring to Blu Ray from Encore

I created a wedding video that I wanted to burn to a Blu Ray disk. I first tried to burn directly to Blu Ray but the "Build" button is grayed out. Then I created an .iso image thinking that was the best solution, and linked to it, but the dang "Build" is still grayed out.
I can burn to DVD with no problems. I just can't figure out why I can't build a Blu Ray disk.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
I'm using CS5 with Mavericks - is that the problem?

Over on the Windows side, a requirement to author a BluRay is the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR process (below) but I have NO idea about Mac permissions

Blue screen of death when building blu-ray in Encore CS6

I recently purchased a new laptop and installed Adobe Master Collection CS6. I purchased the laptop for video capture and editing, as well as for blu-ray authoring.
Unfortunately, although the computer and software works fine for video capture and editing, I am unable to author a blu-ray. For authoring, I am using Adobe’s Encore CS6. After checking and previewing my creation, I attempt to build to disc using Encore. About 2 seconds after clicking the build disc in Encore, I get the “blue screen of death” (BSOD). This happens every time I try to build to blu-ray (only blu-ray has this issue; I am able to build to a DVD). I am using an external blu-ray drive on USB 3.0.
I am using Encore version 6.0.0.492
Here are the blu-ray drive specs:

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help

Exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60

I am exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60 using compressor 3.05. I export straight from Final Cut 6 to compressor. It all looks great except I end up with some frames in the video that pixelate. It is just one frame, and the average viewer may not see it, but if you go frame by frame you see it. I thought it was just a bad export, but I exported the file again and the same thing happens again on the exact same frame. The fact that it happened again on the exact same frame was very odd to me. It is this way on five different video files. It's certainly not like that in the original on my timeline, so I don't know why it is doing that.
I guess I will try exporting a quicktime file first and then putting that file through compressor to see if that makes a difference. Any ideas from anybody?

Exporting a quicktime file first still produced the pixelated frame. I'm not sure what else to try.

How to create Blu-Ray from previous files?

Back in November of 2010 thefifthlion posted a similar question, but the thread was archived so I could not post a follow up in that same thread.
My question is similar: how to create a Blu-Ray from previous Compressor files. His answer was to create a disc image by selecting "Hard Drive" from the Output Device pop up menu. Then use Toast or Disc Utility to burn the copies. Fine, but here's my revised question to that:
Compressor just spent nearly 20 hours compressing a 2+ hour video with "Create Blu-Ray" selected for the When Job Completes. Before it completed the Blu-Ray burner apparently fell asleep or went offline somehow because the computer wouldn't recognize the drive by the time Compressor was done. So I had no choice but to selct "Cancel Burn" and stop the process, restart the computer, and get the Blu-Ray burner back online.
You probably know where I'm going with this. I now have two files on my desktop - the video and the audio file created of the project from Compressor. BUT WHAT CAN I DO WITH THOSE FILES NOW? Needless to say I don't want to go through the entire 20 hour process again - only to have the same thing happen with the burner drive. As per the below paragraph (copied from thefifthlion's original post in November) is this the best way to burn Blu-Rays in Compressor? Always create a disc image rather than burn right away... and then use a third party burner like Toast 10 or Disc Utility to burn the disc? I can't believe Compressor doesn't have an option to open the project again and burn a Blu-Ray straight away.
> Output Device pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to choose the device to format to. The pop-up menu displays a list of your system’s suitable output devices, including optical drives and the computer’s hard disk. Each device also includes the words Blu-ray or AVCHD to indicate which type of disc it creates. Choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) file that you can burn to Blu-ray Disc media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in the Utilities folder). Other settings may change depending on the device you choose.
Thanks very much for any feedback.
Eric

Follow up question:
I went through the process again (approx 20 hours!! ) and this time made the video a disc image. I don't have Toast (though I think it might be time to get it) but I keep reading that Disc Utility can burn a Blu Ray using that disc image. So, I went through another multi hour process to burn that 20+ gig file onto a Blu Ray, but it appears that it didn't burn it as a playable disc, rather, more like it put the file on the disc as data files. All the info is there, 20 some gigs, I can see all the files, but the disc doesn't play.
Now I apologize if it's a silly question if it's known that you can't make a playable blu ray with Disc Utility, but I don't know either way, that's just what I've read and this is the first time I've tried it.
Soooooooo, if I always make a disc image, should I just get Toast and use that to make the blu ray?
By the way, a brief update: the whole reason this thread came up was because my Pioneer blur ray burner goes offline (sleep) after an hour or so and doesn't come back or wake up. So with a long processing time in Compressor the drive goes offline and then can't burn the disc, so I lose that whole session. Turns out that Pioneer (by their own admission) is not made to be fully compatible with Macs!! In particular Mac Pros. I took that drive out and replaced it with an LG. Haven't tested it yet but I'm looking forward to it.

Jerky playback of Blu Ray with Encore CS4 and Mac

I was very pleased by the fact that I created a Blu Ray disk on my first try...however, the footage plays back very jerky...almost like the frame rate dropped by half...I am using DVCPro 720p footage and compressing in two ways...1st did it in Media Encoder using the both 264 and mpeg 2 for blu-ray, and chose the proper format for 720p. Then I let Encore compress it using the automatic option...on all tries the video is playing back extremely jerky. I am also burning to re-writeable Blu Ray disks and playing back on PS3...anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks.
Chad Campbell

I did the same thing 720p 60p shot on a panasonic p2. I used final cut studio to co press to a mpeg-2 blu-ray stream and then build the blu-ray in encore cs4, it played back smoothly no dropping of frames or any other issues. That might solve your problems.
I use a mac pro.

Anyone using Encore to burn to Blu Ray from FCP?

Given that there's no way to burn a "real" HD DVD, is anyone exporting their FCP movies to Adobe Encore and burning to Blu Ray? If so, have you had any success?

I'm yet to Author a BluRay w/ Encore using Media from FCP... but I do Author SD DVD's by exporting DV QT's from FCP then importing and encoding w/ Encore.
Seems like you'd be able to do the same by exporting an HD QT w/ a CODEC that's also on your PC.

Burning Blu-ray from FCS 7

I want to try burning an HD project to blu-ray. I can see that it is possible to use the 'Share' function to author directly from FCP. My questions:
1. Is there a specific burner required that will operate with an iMac intel 11.1 or will any external mac compatible blu-ray burner work? I imagine firewire 800 would be the connection required?
2. I have imported my 5D Canon HD footage converting it to apple ProRes 442 1920 x 1080 (pal) and am assuming this format will export from theFCP timeline project using the 'share' option.
3. If There are problems using the share function I expect to try the compressor and adobe encore authoring and I guess the same questions above would be relevant.
Grateful for any helpful feedback, but particularly in relation to buying a blu-ray burner which is my next step.

Hi Tony,
1. Just got an external BR player from these people, connects via USB, works great : www.mcetech.com
2. Share from FCP doesn't work very well. Better to export as Quicktime at current settings then drop into Compressor and go from there.
3. Never tried Encore but Toast also works well.

Blu-ray Error - Encore CS6

Hi,
I am having problems exporting my Blu-ray - I used Media Encoder to export my sequence from Premiere Pro, using the H.264 Blu-ray codec.
This is the error message I recieve, which appears after it seems to have burnt the disc and is on 'building streams': Blu-ray Error: "device not read", code: "3", Note: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M2S file.
I have tried re-exporting my footage, and creating new Encore projects.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Thanks

You have solved your problem by using Imgburn (which I use for ALL disc burning) but here is some general information... for anyone else who reads this and wants to know "why" there may be problems
As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator,
which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and
which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD or a BluRay, you must
have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option... and a Mac version

Making a Blu Ray from FCP7

Hi there
So I'm still a little confused as to my workflow for being able to make Blu Ray DVD's. There seems to be different opinions through the forums I have read. I want to be able to offer people Blu Rays instead of DVD's. It seems that I cannot do this through DVDSP (although a lot of the posts I have read about it seem to be quite old so maybe they have found a way now)
I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8
I use FCP7
I uses the 120min DVD best in Compressor usually
I use DVD Studio Pro to make my menu and burn to DVD
I shoot HDV 1440x1080 using a Sony V1E
My Question: What do I need to buy and set up to make a Blu Ray?
From what I have read it looks like a Blu Ray Burner like 'Pioneer or LG' I think I would rather an external one rather than mucking around trying to fit it externally and the it looks like I have to use Encore to make it instead of DVD SP. But if this is the case then what do I export my movie as out of FCP7 and then how do I get it onto the Blu Ray?
Thanks so much for any help out there :-)
Mich

Hi G, I have done the similar steps but without making the self-contained movie first: i.e. I used "share" in FCP 7 and output to "hard drive" and I think I successfully made a "disc image" but now when I try to burn it with my new LG interior blu-ray burner using disc utility it (disc utility) and having tried 2 different brands of of BD-R (Kodak and Panasonic) the Disc Utility says "the disc inserted does not have enough free space"
The disc image is 21 GB and blank BD-R's I have tried are 25gb and I have burned DVD disk images on to dvd-r's using this device (LG HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH10LS30). I am using 10.6.8 operating system.
My questions would be: Do I need Lion to burn a Blu-Ray disc image? Do I need Toast? What is wrong? Do I need a special driver. I asked OWC (where I bought the drive) and they said I need Toast but I that contradicts what I have read. I am using a Mac Pro 8-core early '08 with 10.6.8

Burn Blu - ray in Encore CS4

Hey
Has anyone here burn a blu - ray dics in Encore CS4 ?
And have there been any problems about playing it on a blu -ray player ?
Regards
Mikael
you can contact me here :
[email protected]
I have burn a blu - ray , but have a problem

It is normal for a player to briefly pause as it seeks the disc for the menu, transition, or video you are having it load. This is a limitation of the format.
Normally, a player will freeze the last frame of the previous menu until it loads the next menu or video. This freeze usually lasts 0.5 seconds to 1 second. If your disc was burned too fast, uses too high of a bitrate, had dust or scratches on the surface while burning or playing, this amount of time to seek the disc will increase (and possibly go to a black screen if it can't load it within a second or two).
The black screen you are experiencing is a player issue, not a menu issue. You might be able to reduce the freeze if you correct any issues you might have had with your disc. If your disc is flawless, then there is nothing you can do. If you try it on a different player, you will likely see a different result.
Menu content is stored on the disc in a different physical location than timeline content, which will make it take slightly longer to go from a menu to a timeline or vise versa.

Blu-Ray Jerking - Encore Help Needed!

Hi all,
I'm new to Encore and i'm just about to complete a project which involves burning some videos to DVD & Blu-Ray. I have burnt 5 DVD's and everything works perfect, but unfortunately now I am trying to burn the Blu-Rays and they have major issues. When I come to play the Blu-Ray on my computer, first of all they won't work with VLC (newest version) and the video seems to be jerking slightly. I have also noticed when the video thumbnails appear, the video and audio freezes (only time the audio is effected.) Oh and i'm not sure if this is relevant but the first two discs I burnt the video started playing in my PC about 30 seconds into one of the videos, completely skipping out the intro video, menu and part of said video.
My project consists of:
Intro animation/motion menu exported from AE
Menu file exported from PS
Audio track
Four videos from FCP, all 1920x1080. One is a "Current Settings" .mov export from a ProRes 422 HQ timeline and the others were this but have been compressed to an MP4 in Handbrake.
The menu system has video thumbnails and all of the above videos are linked well.
The loop point has been set at 18 seconds which is when the intro animation finishes and the video menu has fully faded in.
Each video has an end point which brings them back to this loop point.
As mentioned, this worked absolutely perfect with my DVD's but with the Blu-Rays it's completely messed up. The only difference between the two are the Blu-Ray project settings, the video transcode settings set by Encore and I have imported the "Current Settings" .mov from FCP for one video and not the compressed Handbrake file. I have done the "Check Project" and nothing comes back.
I am using the following equipment:
"LG Super Multi Blue" Blu-Ray burner.
TDK BD-R 25GB 1-4x Write Speed discs
Dell XPS 8700s Blu-Ray player for playback with VLC (won't open:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///D:\'. Check the log for details.
& CyberLink PowerDVD 12 which does work but the above issues are noticed.
Please if somebody could give me some suggestions to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. I am going away for a week on Monday and need to have these burnt and sent out to the clients before I do.

While playback with computer emulators is helpful, you ultimately need a disk test. A BD+RE is very helpful.
What does Encore show as the Blu-ray transcode status (in that column over to the right in the Encore project panel): Do not transcode, Untranscoded?

Burning Blu-ray from FCP? Seems I've encountered a glitch.

Followed these instructions (Ken Stone):
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/burn_br_mac_superdrivestone.html
Only difference is instead of using SD disks as instructed in those guidelines, I'm using actual Blu-ray disks with an external Blu-ray burner. The external drive is turned on and plugged into my mac and I chose it as the burning device (meaning my mac recognizes the drive).
Well, the export process finished and it didn't prompt me to insert a blank disk for burning, but it left the Blu-ray and AC3 file in my desktop.
How can I take those files and now create a Blu-ray disk? Is that something I can do from FCP or Compressor? I'm kinda stumped.
Any help is appreciated!

Ha... yea, it was a total blonde moment on my part (I have blonde hair and I have the moments frequently... haha). BUT! The question still stands! Because the drive wasn't plugged in it didn't burn the DVD, it just saved the video and audio file to do so. So is it possible to get them back in somehow to burn the disk w/o having to go through the LONG export process again?
Fortunately, I guess because it didn't recognize the drive, FCP actually turned it into a disk image. I found that file this morning in my 'Movies' folder. I was then able to open Disk Utilities and burn it that way. I'm the proud new father of my first Blu-ray disk! Needless to say, the results are STUNNING. I'm totally blown away.
I'm gonna mark this as 'answered' because I found the disk image... but just for the heck of it... I'd still like to know if there's a way to get the BD file and AC3 back into Final Cut, should I not be so fortunate to get a disk image again in the future.

Which DVD Burn Software for Blu-ray from Folder

Per the recommendation in Steve Grisetti's PrE11 book, I would like to burn to a folder and then to DVD and/or BD-R. However, based upon the Adware problems with downloading ImgBurn, it does not appear to be the way to go at this time. I understand using Custom install on their "options", but it appears that even the most knowledgeable people sometimes get caught.
Therefore, what is the recommended software for burning DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs from a folder (for those that don't have old versions of ImgBurn). I will purchase software if that is the best route.

Ed
I do not endorse any particular program (up for purchase) for the task of taking video files to DVD-VIDEO, AVCHD format, or Blu-ray disc format on disc. Note that I wrote Nero or program like Nero. One of the app of the Nero program is the "Nero Burning Rom". Use that in your google search. That is the app in a Nero version that you should need for your task. If interested in Nero for this feature, please check out the Nero web page for the versions that have the Burning Rom and the associated price after you have looked at the tryout. The following is a how to for Burning Rom feature
http://ftp6.nero.com/user_guides/nero2015/burningrom/NeroBurningRom_en-US.pdf
There are other programs on the market that can accomplish the task. Nero products have a long history of often competing with other programs for the burner, but I have not run into that issue using an OEM version that came with one of my computer burners. All the Burning Rom should be doing is taking your files already in the DVD-VIDEO or BDMV structure to disc, not creating those structures.
In spite of what you have read, I do not consider Premiere Elements burn to folder to be a "native" approach/route to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. I see that only as a troubleshooting alternative when the user experiences unsolved Premiere Elements burn to disc issues. Have you run into problems with the Premiere Elements burn to disc - burner not recognized and/or media not present/other?
Looking forward to learning of further developments.

5.1 mix for blu-ray from 6 mono tracks

Hi there,
I'm not too well versed in creating 5.1 mixes at the moment. Here's the project I've set out to do...
I currently have a 1hr 45min Apple Pro Res video with six mono tracks intended for a 5.1 mix for Blu-ray and DVD authoring. All six channels are in the order they should be in for 5.1 (i.e. 1st track LEFT, 2nd track RIGHT, 3rd track CENTRE, etc.). I'm just having difficulty in bringing the file back into Premiere and exporting it for Blu-ray H264 setting with the 5.1 mix functioning properly.
Please advise,
Mike

I'm a bit late coming to this thread.
As Jim says the problem with Premiere is that you can't just send a track to the LFE.
One work around that I use-
Put the LFE mono track on 2 tracks in your sequence. Send one track to centre and LFE and the other track just send to centre BUT put the invert audio effect on that track. This will cancel out the feed to the centre just leaving the LFE.

Whay does button navigation change after I burn to Blu-ray using Encore CS6?

Very odd. I've set up my Blu-ray project - created and previewed all the buttons, menus and navigation. The main menu contains a "Play Video" button, which is supposed to trigger the entire video to play. The "Chapters" button takes the viewer to a chapters menu. Everything previews fine on my computer. After I burn the disc, however, the button functions on my main menu have flipped. The "Play Video" button now takes the user to the chapter menu page and the "Chapters" button now plays the video. Also, the "Play Video" button is programmed to be the default for this menu. Now the menu defaults to the "Chapters" button. By the way, I created the same project on a DVD which plays as programmed. Any idea why the Blu-ray is having these issues? I'm thinking I'll reload Encore CS5 and reconstruct the project there. Thanks.

Hi, Stan.
I realized the problem was that the colors for the selected buttons on the Blu-ray version display darker than they do on the DVD. So I was being fooled into thinking the selected buttons weren't selected. Anyway, this was pilot error on my part. I just need to monkey with the color menu until I get the BR to approximate the DVD. Thanks. Cheers, Steve
