Blu-Ray bit rate (and other questions)

Hi, just getting ready to try out my new blu-ray burner and I had a couple quick questions regarding outputting via compressor, thanks for any help and advice:
1) What's the recommended average and max bit rate assuming file size isn't an issue?
2) Can I put multiple videos on one blu-ray? From what I can tell it's only one per disk...
3) The blu-ray template wants audio and video from one source, correct? Or can I drop in a quicktime video and a separate audio track? (For instance, I have a surround sound mix that was done elsewhere while the video was edited and output from an Avid)
4) Will compressor accept Avid DnxHD quicktimes?

I assume you mean to create a BD with Compressor.
1. 34mbps, if I remember, is the max. Just let Compressor calculate the average and max. With a good source, an average above 24mbps won't make a difference of quality, in my opinion.
2. No; you have to have a single movie all assembled in FCP first. But you can use chapter makers to mark multiple original movies.
3. One source only, correct.
4. I don't know.

Streaming multi bit rate and single bit rate

I'm trying to simplify my setup. Sometimes I need to stream multi bit rate and sometimes I need to stream single bit rate. This is due to the internet connections I'm sending from sometimes have poor upstream and multi-bit rate is too much bandwidth to send... So.... We resort to single bitrate. As I understand my encoder and server settings are different for each of these... I created a single and multi-bitrate profile for Adobe Media Encoder. That was simple enough. My question/concern is in regards the server settings. I would like to have a server setting for multi-bitrate and a setting for single bit rate. My goal is to void making changes on the server. I simply want to load the desired Adobe Media Encoder Profile. So, do I need to create a dedicated event for single bitrate? Below is the syntax I send to my server from Adobe Live Encoder. Instead of using 'liveevent' for my event would I just give it a different name? Does this stand true for my .m3u8 files? I'm confused to how to name differnet event/streams....
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record

Hi,
When you use a setting like: livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent then the encoder expects multibitrate streams (the %i is replaced by a number so the streams published will be livestream1, livestream2 and livestream3). You cannot use the same setting in the encoder for single stream. Instead you'll have to use livestream?adbe-live-event=<event_name>. You could create a new event under the same application.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other queries.
Thanks,

How to set the Codec, Frame rate, Bit rate, and Resolution for iMovie 10.0.5

To upload a video to Vimeo, I need to be able to set the codec, frame rate, bit rate and resolution to make sure the file is compressed to under 500 MB. Where in iMovie 10.0.5 am I given the option to adjust these settings?
Thank you!

Another question is in continuous mode, NI DAQmx uses Samples per channel to determine the buffer size. But according to the website you specified, it says if the acquisition is continuous (sample mode on the DAQmx Timing.vi is set to Continuous Samples), NI-DAQmx will allocate a buffer according to the following table. And for sample rate between 100 - 10,000 S/s, the buffer size is 10 kS. So if I set the sample rate to be 5000 S/s, and set the Samples per channel to be 20000, then what exactly the buffer size is? 20 kS or 10 kS?
Thanks.

Export failed to meet required bit rate and color space specs - ProRes 422 to MPEG2

Using Premiere Pro CC v7 I exported a ProRes 422(HQ) file to MPEG2 and selected the HD 1080p 23.976 preset. I needed the finished file to have a minimum bit rate of 50Mbps and the color space to be YUV422. I was way under the minimum bit rate and the color space was incorrect. Can someone please instruct me on how to achieve my desired results. Thanks!

The source frame rate is 23.976, so I guess I would go with 24p. My intention is to upload the file to a streaming video website. They have their specs laid out for me, I just happen to be new to all of this so I am having a tough time meeting them.
My question right now is, if i have selected the MXF OP1a XDCAM option with XDCAM 50 NTSC (4:2:2) video codec, will the export be in mpeg2 and what will my bit rate be? I have no way of viewing the bit rate with this configuration.
Here is a screen grab of their required specs:

"current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

Tony, Make sure you are in Songs view. Then View > Show View Options, and check the boxes for "Bit Rate" and "Sample Rate." See picture:

Thanks so very much. I chose MP3 and Download and it is working beautifully. Have a wonderful day and it is so nice of you to get right back to me. I'm trying to cut a DVD for my grandson's grad party and I got most of the photos and didn't have any music since I lost everything in a clean install. Could hug you!

The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed.

I've always burned my purchased CDs into iTunes using a AAC 320 kbps and 48.000kHz. Now when I select that option in iTunes 9 I'm getting a "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed." pop up screen. So is it impossible to burn my albums in a 320kbps/48.000 AAC format?. I had no problems in previous versions of iTunes using this setting. I guess I might have to switch over using a MP3 import setting instead.

Audio CDs are encoded with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. Ripping them at 48 kHz requires resampling and does not improve the quality. Unless you have a special need for 48, use 44.1.

Pioneer BD-203 Blu Ray drive Observations and questions

I have a DP35D motherboard with a Q6600 processor and 2mb RAM. I run XP with SP2 and PE7.
I use hi def video and usually write to a DVD burner, with no problems. I have 4 hard drives with a dedicated drive for PE7 video files, a 1TB drive.
On DVD all is well.
So I installed a Pioneer BD- 203 Blu Ray drive (all my drives apart from the DVD drive are SATA). Installation of the BD203 went well, the PC recognised it and I was not required to "do" anything. It was a bare drive so NO additional software was installed. I did not need to go into the BIOS or "do" anything.
I went into PE7 and the BD-203 was instantly recognised - so far so very good!
I took an existing 1hr 27 minute Hi Def video which I had successfully written to DVD and wrote it to BluRay. As a matter of interest it took 1hr 40mins to encode the video (as an MPEG2 file), then PE7 reported that the disc (BluRay that is) was being burnt (Burn in Progress) but there was no movement of the progress bar within PE7 and the hard drive was busy for just over an hour. Then there was activity on the BD-203 drive but the progress bar remained static - after maybe less than an hour the drive spat out the disc (a Traxdata 4* record BD-R disc) and NO error messages were reported. So all looked relatively good, at least thats what I thought. I have NO means of playing the disc at the moment and the BluRay disc certainly has some data written to it but only about half a discs worth.
I tried to read the BluRay disc on my PC and Windows XP said "Windows cannot read from the disc. The disc may be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows". I was not overly concerned by this as I have no BluRay reader on my PC.
I then encoded a separate 2 and a half minute video onto a Verbatim BD-RE disc. Obviously this was a much quicker process!! Once again the same set of processes albiet much more speedy.
Questions.
What encoding should I select MPEG2 1440 * 1080i PAL Dolby OR MPEG2 1920 * 1080i PAL Dolby? My camcorder produces 1440 by 1080i as I believe is common practice.
Can I assume that the resultant discs are OK or should I suspect something?
Is there a free/cheap BluRay player for a PC that wont interfere with the BluRay writing operation or cause any other problems? and which I can use on my PC in order to verify that the discs I have written to are OK?
Andy

Thanks, I will be tyesting my discs over the weekend.
But I can advise you that my DB203 does successfully burn DVDs and I can play those DVDs. From that I deduce that the drive is functional in the DVD writing mode - so I am a little more hopeful.
Andy
PS Will advise all re progress - as BluRay writing seems to be a bit of an issue!!

External Blue Ray Disk Drive and T61, Or is one available for the Ultra Bay yet?

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone has a Blue Ray Disk Drive connected to there T61? Can the T61 handle a Blue Ray Disk Drive? The reason I am asking is because I was thinking of getting one for my T61 and then playing Blue Ray movies thru my LCD TV, the LCD TV being monitor #2. Would the quality be as good as a normal Blue Ray player that is hooked to the TV? My graphics card is Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M. Thank you for in advance for any advice on this.
Cheers,

Hi Singtoh,
Check whether following is compatible with your T61:-

Blue Ray Disk Equipment and Players

Hi all,
just a quick question: in general, is it possible to watch blue ray disks (bd) with Archlinux? Which hardware equipment is best to be used and which applications for playing have to be used?
I am interested in the solution, so commercial applications are also valid for me. Has anyone experience with this topic?
Best regards,
Martin

@B
+1 on that, people always complain about privacy issues and yet they happily use _online_ services to store data .... go figure. As you say, even if you have local copies of the files, if the drm server goes down then ... "we're sorry but we can no longer provide this service, thank you for giving us your money but now we're rich and we don't need you anymore", not even mentioning that if you want to watch _the same thing_ on several different devices most probably you will need to buy it all over again (that's completely fair, as far as the ones receiving the money are concerned that is).
Current "anti piracy" laws would be hilarious if it wasn't for people getting sued for ridiculously high amounts of money and the legal constraints anyone faces if wanting to keep legal.
Also the current practise of ISPs is to limit the speed of non http traffic (or even all traffic during peak hours of the day) and according to recent news it is being considered to limit the speed of the http traffic during half the day if they decide you are using it beyond what is considered "fair use" ... there goes "the cloud" down the drain.
And lastly, as always, linux users get screwed as there is no support whatsoever from anyone (concerning the playback of media with DRM) if you want to stay legal or don't want all the hassle (and risks) of going around DRM.

LaCie d2 blu-ray 8X burner and Premiere Pro CS4/ Encore

Is anyone using this combo? If you are, have you burned a blu-ray movie yet?
I am wanting to purchase a player known to work with PP CS4.
I plan to use a Canon HFS 100 and the H.264 codec.
Any suggestions out there?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question directly about that piece of hardware. Others should be along with knowledge of it.
In the meantime, you might want to read this ARTICLE by Neil Wilkes from the Adobe Encore FAQ. There is a lot of good, general Burning info in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Blu Ray drive missing and incredibly slow boot times

I have an Ideacentre B520 i5 with Blu Ray drive. I've been having an intermittent issue that has become permanent. The Blu Ray drive is no longer detected by the machine, and it takes 4-5 minutes to boot up.
The history of the issue is:
A while ago the drive disappeared sometimes and boot up times took a while
I swapped the SATA connector inside the machine in case that was a problem - that fixed it for a while
The problem started occurring again except less occassionally
I left the system completely powered down for 5 days whilst on holiday, when I returned it was working exactly as it should - drive available and boots in about 45 seconds
The drive disappeared whilst in use one day, and does not reappear any more, even when the machine is left unplugged from the power socket
I have tried a clean boot (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135) but that does not fix it
The drive will open so there is power to it, but is not visible within the computer. It is infuriating not to be able to use it, and that the system now takes a very long time to start up.
What suggestions do you have to resolve this?
