Blu-ray discs and a HD dvd build

I have read in other posts that it does not appear that a HD DVD(as opposed to SD DVD in the DVD studio pro settings) program can be burned onto a Blu-ray for TV viewing. First of all if anyone knows that this has changed please speak up. Otherwise my question is is the HVDVD_TS folder that DVDSP creates for a HD program a compatible folder with Blu-ray players(or HDDVD players for that matter). Assuming one can eventually burn a video program onto a Blu-ray can the Blu-ray players read the HVDVD_TS the same way that the Apple DVDPlayer does or set top DVD players read the VIDEO_TS folder.
Also does anyone know if the Blu-ray players can read a BD-R at all.

There are other Win options too but as Adobe are adding Blu-ray support I'm pretty sure at NAB next month Apple will add support too... Plus if you look here:
http://www.nab.org/nabshow/Conferences/sessiondetail.asp?id=1205649
It says tools for Next Gen authoring on Mac & Win... so lets hope dvdsp has a nice update and a solid SD Update. I'd like separate tools as always but we'll see what NAB brings.
Remember Premiere & Co. are Mac again so I'm sure Apple has some FCS sh*t for their a$$ to launch in April we may even get new macs with internal blu-ray burners if we are good boys and girls...

Encore 5.1 on OS 10.5.8 burns Blu-ray discs but crashes on DVD build of same project

I've spent a few weeks creating a dual-layered Blu-ray Disc with 20 menus and 44 timelines ranging in length from 9 seconds to 18 minutes.
The end product will be a dual pack containing both the replicated Blu-ray Disc and DVD.
I pre-transcoded both the BD and DVD and linked the assets appropriately. The Blu-ray Disc builds correctly and seems to not have any issues.
When I try to output to DVD Encore crashes almost immediately. I've also tried to save just a DVD image and it crashes in the same place.
I don't really want to recreate this entire program in DVDSP but that is my plan.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

So I fixed the issue by deleting all the ac3 and m4v (including the linked m2v) files out of the timlines ans replacing with the orginal Self-Contained Reference Movies from FCP7. Then I let Encore transcode and build overnight, presto in the morning one working DVD.
Now I just need to transcode again for Blu-ray or revert to a backup...

Does Yosemite support Blu-Ray disc and 4K playback on the iMac with a 4K player?

If I plug a Blu-Ray or 4K player into an iMac, will Yosemite support playback? What additional software is needed and available?

It's hard to say considering Apple hasn't supported Blu-ray yet and the downloaded Blu-ray resources are really not what we exactly want. The most directly way is to install Mac Blu-ray player and Blu-ray drive. Macgo is the best now to support 4K Blu-ray and Yosemite.

Once and for all: Can DVD SP build Blu-Ray disc content or not?

Maybe I’m crazy, but…
Everything I’ve heard to date has Apple backing the Blu-Ray format. Believing this, I just spent $900 on a new Lacie D2 external Blu-Ray burner (which IS Mac compatible). I also purchased Toast 8 (which IS Blu-Ray compatible).
All I need to do now is build my disc content (assign H.264 1920x1080 content, build menus, etc.) then drop it all into Toast and burn Blu-Ray video discs… right?
So what is all this I’m reading here about DVD Studio Pro supporting the HD DVD format and not Blu-Ray???!!!!!!
Am I going to be able to do this using DVD SP or not, and if not, can anybody tell me a program I can use to build my Blue-Ray disc content? (All of my HD content is H.264 (1920x1080) rendered directly from Adobe After Effects).
My deadline for this project is fast approaching and I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on this. If I can build Blu-Ray discs and burn them on my Mac using Toast 8 and the Lacie D2, I’ll make my deadline and justify the $900 spent thus far.
Can anybody help?
Thanks, SM

Wait a minute,
Maybe I don’t need to buy PC to run DVDit Pro HD. I have a Mac Pro! With Boot camp I have a PC! Any reason I shouldn’t try running DVDit on my Mac via the Boot Camp beta? That way I'd also be using my Lacie D2 Bu-Ray drive. And with Roxio's 30 day return policy I haven’t much to loose...
I'm calling Roxio tech support. Let you know how it goes

A LITTLE LATER:
Just got back from digging into Roxio's discussion forum and here's what I found:
I have travelled down the same frustrating path my friend!
But I did succeed doing it all on my new mac Pro, finally...
Install BOOTCAMP (free beta). Install WINDOWS XP ($269 from AMAZON). Install ULEAD BD RECORDER, which comes with DVD MOVIEFACTORY 6 (free trial, $80 to buy).
BDAV worked well from SONY V1-U burning to MATSHITA BD-MLT SW-5582 and played perfectly in new SAMSUNG 1200 palyer on my 57" DLP.
TIP - install BOOTCAMP et al on its own HD, and use NTFS... This will come in handy when doing a BDAV from a file such as HDV1080 that is larger than 4GB.
To do BDMV, you'll need SONIC DVD-IT PRO HD ($499) which I have yet to try...
Frustrating process, but kinda cool to figure it all out, especially when NOBODY in sales at any of these places seems to have a clue.
So there you go - must be possible

Blu-ray discs don't seems to write a 'lead-out'. Help!

Hi,
I am using Premiere Pro CS4 with Encore CS4. Up until now I have always used DVD's and not blu-ray discs and have never had a problem. I now film in full HD and would like to be able to build blu-ray discs in Encore.
I import to Encore through dynamic link, and set my blu-ray project to PAL 1980x1080, 25fps - the same as my original footage and premiere sequence. The disc appears to burn ok, and you can see there is data on the disc. However, the disc is rejected by my sony blu-ray player, and both the blu-ray disc drives in my PC. It keeps telling me that the format is unsupported. I have tried lowering too 1440 and even 720 and it makes no difference at all. I made sure the region was correct too - region 2 (as i'm in the UK).
I have tried importing very short sequences so that I can watch the process, and I have noticed that unlike my DVD discs, the blu-ray doesn't seem to write a 'lead-out). It says it's complete but it's almost as if it doesn't finialise the disc for playback.
I am so confused, and at this stage rather frustrated! Has anyone got any pointers as to what may being going wrong here?
Thanks,
Cath

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.

Blu-Ray disc freezes for half a second between chapters

I'm brand new to using Adobe for video editing. I just finished my first Encore CS6 project, it's been quite a learning experience. I have a 40 minute video with 18 chapters that I edited in Premiere Pro and exported for Blu-Ray as a single sequence. Encore still insisted on transcoding it, it was irritating to have to wait but it worked. I created a simple blu-ray menu with a chapter index with 10 items per page created from a chapter playlist. The first play is the first page of the menu, and each chapter plays sequentially. There are no end actions on any of the chapters, they are intended to play sequentially starting from any chapter selected in the menu. Encore said I have an oprhan timeline, but I don't see how, since it's my only time line and each chapter points to it.
I built a Blu-Ray disc and it works great except for a half a second freeze in audio and video as it plays through each chapter point. I built a DVD from the same project and it does not have this issue but its video is jerky during movement such as a scene where I'm panning the camera to follow an actor.
The export settings from permiere were:
1920x1080, 29.97 fps, upper
VBR, 2 pass, Target 25.00 Mbps, Max 30.00 Mbps
PCM, 48 kHz, Stereo
I found several threads that seemed to be similar to these issues going all the way back to Encore CS4, but I haven't found any solutions.
So to sumarize:
I have four issues in order of importance:
1. Blu-Ray freezing briefly as it plays through chapter points
2. DVD has jerky video in higher motion scenes
3. Transcoding what should already be Blu-Ray ready video
4. Orphaned timeline that doesn't seem to affect anything
Any suggestions?

I wanted to test a possible issue with the freezes, but never got to it. Sorry you did not get any responses.
The bluray should not freeze as you go through chapter points on a timeline. The fact that the timeline is an orphan is curious. You might post a screenshot of your flowchart.
What version of Premeire are you using to create the exported files?

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.

Optiarc BC-5500A on HDX9494NR not reading certain blue ray discs

Hi guys.
Looking around the web it seems that this particular drive requires a firmware update to be able to read dual layer blue ray discs.
This is the only thing I can think that is wrong with my drive, since it reads most blue ray discs, except the brand new one. I just got (500) days of summer from Netflix. It plays on my PS3 but it won't play on my laptop. Other blue rays that I have like Transmormers and planet earth work perfectly.
The symptom is that when I insert the drive, the computer starts scaning for 30 seconds and eventually it gives up. With the other blue ray mentioned, it detects them immidiatly. 500 days of summer doesn't look to be scratched or dirty.
Any ideas?
A few stats: I am using windows 7 ultimate and watching the blue rays with totalmedia theater. Firmware reported by the drive is 1.86 (sep14, 2007)
I found interesting that there is no post about this around here. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue, or do I have a bad drive?

dont hope to get helped here... they got your money and now you are on your own.
I also had problems with this drive. In my case it just stopped reading blu ray discs (it still reads dvd's and cd's).
If you do a quick google about this drive you'll find A LOT of users have problems with it. So its a pretty **bleep**y drive.
HP's solution to this is to just ignore all the complaints.
Same thing with drivers for their hardware. They only update them once and then its over. And if you go to the manufacterer's website (like nvidia for the graphics card) and try to use their latest version available on their site it wont work because HP adjusts the hardware so you can only use drivers from HP's site.
And when you friendly ask if it would be possible to provide updated drivers, they just ignore you...
My conclusion and advice to you is this: NEVER AGAIN BUY SOMETHING FROM HP! because once they got your money you're on your own.

Runtime error when burning blu ray disc

I am attempting to burn a 1080i/29.97 blu ray disc and when it gets to something like 99% finished, i get a runtime error, and then
encore crashes. Could it be there there is not enough space on the disc? The video and audio combine to somthing like 23.5 GB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Also, running encore 4.0.

This Adobe KB Article might be able to give you some tips.
Good luck,

Blue ray disc players

I recently bought Vizio blue ray disc player and it has BD live capability. What type of cable do I need to access BD live on my blue ray disc and how do I connect the cable so that I can access the BD live content on my blue ray disc.

We received an Insignia blu-ray player for Christmas. I hooked it up to our Insignia widescreen HDTV and followed the onscreen prompts regarding setup (it's currently in 16:9 widescreen). However, when I play a blu-ray disc, it does not utilize the full screen--it's got vertical bars at the right and left hand sides of the screen. I did not select the "pillar-box" option and really am at a loss as to why the player doesn't utilize the full width of the screen. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Importing a Blu-ray Disc that I created

I created a Blu-ray Disc and I lost The master file. How can I import the Blu-ray Disc to be re-edited again?
Thanks

Let me Google that for you.
Be sure to rip into a video format that works well in After Effects: ideally, an intermediate codec like Quicktime PNG or Animation, Quicktime ProRes, Uncompressed AVI etc.

Can't play blu-ray disc

We have an Insignia NS-WBRDVD2 Blu-ray disc player. Tonight we rented a Blu-ray disc and it wouldn't play. We got the "WARNING, your Blu-ray Player requires an update in order to play this disc" red screen.
We updated the firmware, it rebooted and we still have the same red screen and inability to watch the movie. The update screen now shows that no update is available since we just did an update.
Please advise how to fix this issue.

Just to give you more information on why nothing can be done.
Blu-Ray uses AACS keys to protect the content. Those AACS keys are updated with new keys in newer movies and manufactures update their players with the new keys. However in your case Insiginia is no longer providing updates for your player after December 2011 which means there is no way to get the new AACS keys for that player to play newer movies using those new keys.

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

How do I create Blu Ray Disc with DVD Studio Pro ?

Folks, I think that I'm in trouble... I created 3 HD projects with DSP (i do not have the tapes and fcp project anymore, neither the HDV 1080i mov file) and I need to be burned it with a Blu-Ray Media, and play it with a BR Player... So far I made the following steps:
1-) In FCP, I exported some Quicktime Movies with HDV 1080i60 codec (movie with chapters, menu bg movie, extras).
2-) In Compressor, I used the preset HD MPEG-2 19,0 MBPS for videos, and Dolby digital professional 2.0 for audios.
3-) In DSP I created a HD DVD Project (DISC window, GENERAL tab, DVD STANDARD = HD DVD; DISC WINDOW, DISC/VOLUME tab, DISC MEDIA = BLUE LASER, LAYER OPTION = OTP) with movies, extras, menus...
4-) In ADVANCE BURN (under FILE MENU) I chose BUILD.
5-) Now I got a HVDVD_TS folder, with my movie compilation...
NOW, my doubt is... The folder HVDVD_TS can be burned on a BR Media and be played on a BR Player ?
If not, what can I do with my HVDVD_TS folders to be compatible with Blu Ray ?
thanks a lot for any help.
Best Regards
Marcelo

That can't be done. Get the tapes back and start over. Get the new Toast in the tutorial I posted to make a Blu ray disc.
You could try this tool to demux the streams, transcode to QT then re-encode for Blu Ray but I wouldn't go that direction unless you know what your doing. You would also be encoding twice which is not good.
Get the original source back and go the toast route from the start.
