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

Have you applied the special update?
For CS4 you must update the Roxio component http://forums.adobe.com/thread/400484?tstart=0

  • Can my Mackbook play Blu-ray discs?

    Recently I bought a LG Blu-ray drive, but all my blu-ray discs did not seem to work even with Blu-ray drive. I tried Powerdvd,and it can not be compatible on my Mac OS. Is there any good Mac Blu-ray Player?

    There's this one. You'll find at least a couple of others under different names, but they're all by the same company. The only real difference between them is the looks of the control bar.
    It's kind of expensive because you're paying the license fee on the built in codec so it can read and decode the movie for playback. You also have to be online when watching a commercial Blu-ray movie as it does some sort of authenticity verification of the disk.

  • Low Rez Menus on my Blu Ray Disc... Help Please?

    Hello everyone.  I just created my first blu ray DVD and the everything is great and works as it should but the resolution of the menus are horrible.  My project is full HD at 1920 x 1080.  The menu background and buttons are actually blurry!  I use Windows 7 by the way.  Any ideas on what I did wrong?  Are there special HD menus that I should have selected from? 
    Thanks for any help.
    Bob

    OK.. guess what?  I picked an HD menu this time confident that I just messed up the first go around and I burn my blu ray disc, second one now, and my menus are a little bit better but are still BAD!  I then did a bit of research on the web and learn that I'm not the only one with this problem and apparently this has been a problem with PE7,8,9 and now 10!  Have a look at this thread:  http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71706
    My video is excellent but my menus are blurry.
    Wow.... not good.  Can anyone point me to a work around or a fix to this problem?  Again, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.  The menu that I used was the Pan and Zoom under Slideshows, I changed the background image to a 1920 x 1080 image, I added music, and I changed the color, siz and location of some of the text.
    I guess my next test is to use a stock HD menu with no changes and see if I get an HD menu but every time a run a "Test" I use up a blank blu ray disc.  This could get expensive.
    Again, any help would be appreciated.

  • Is it possible to write 2 different project on one blu ray disc?

    I have about 23 Gb project of stills photos and still cameras video clips. But I also have some additional footage on hd from an hd  video camera.
    My blu ray disc are all 50 gb and I wonder if I could  add a second project to the disc and how to go about it, as well as if it is possible how I'll create menu/s to get it working.
    I posed the question in quite a few places but it does not return any relevant answer.
    I have not worked with blu ray before but since the writers are much cheaper it became affordable for me and I got an external usb Samsung writer.
    Window 7 recognises it but Encore (CS 4) does not -  anyway I found out it's probably better to use the "folder" option than the disc. I have created a rewritable BD using the image (iso) option with "imgburn". and although it stopped at 75% I was surprised that the BD plays with the complete project and no problem! (my rewritable is only 25Gb) so I can't experiment with with these particular projects.)     Thank you

    My try does not seem so lucky
    I added to my earlier succesful BR project 2 more time lines. On one I had video clips from several still cameras (2 panasonic and one Nikon) and on the other timeline, my .mts clips from my hd Everio video cam.
    The Encore projects was previewing well and did not return any error (pre building).
    I output the encoding to a folder and followed the imgburn well detailled instruction to burn to a folder,  i found them on the net and they were very well explained and my burning went exactly through the same steps explained.
    so the procedure progressed over a few hours (it showed the size of 25.5 GB) When it was complete the disk was ejected with a message that it could not be shut again and this happens with slim external drives or Laptops. 
    I'm not sure what is going on now, but when I put the disk in my entertainment player It asked me If I want copy or format the disk and it won't play.
    As this is the second time it happens I put it back in my BR writer, and like the first time It's going threw (I think), a "miscompares" check.
    Now it's through 40% and not showing any error, but i seem to remember that I clicked "Yes" to ignore "miscompare"
    So I don't really know what is going on, this is almost like 15 hours the process has been on (including the retry).
    The BD-RE (50gb DL) is the same colour as the new one I have not idea if anything is written on it.
    My first successful project was only animated stills with sound track added to it and burnt onto a rewritable 25 gb BR.
    Well any help will be welcome:)

  • Re: Satellite A500-1DN - Blu-Ray disc Writer needed

    Hi all!
    My problem is that in my latop i have a CDDVDW TSST TS-L633C writer.
    With this i can 't record or play blu-ray content.
    Is this possibility to get a blu-ray disc writer in my laptop from toshiba? If yes, how much does it cost?
    Thanks in advance!
    atibrd

    Hello
    Unfortunately I cannot give you presice info about that but what I know is that just several Toshiba notebooks are delivered with Blu-Ray disc drives and I was not able to find any info about Blu-Ray driver used on A500.
    On my Satellite P500 I have Mat****a BD-MLT UJ240ES and this drive has BD read and write function. I dont know if you can use this ODD on your notebook model (compatibility).
    I recommend you to contact Toshiba service in your country and ask for help. They should know if you can use this ODD or not.
    Price? Google!!!

  • Can't write to Blue-ray Disc

    After experiencing failures attempting to perform an 18GB data backup to CD or DVD using almost every backup program on the market, I decided to try using Vista Live File System to a Blue-ray disc.  While I can use Vista's Live File System to write CDs & DVDs, I get the error "Windows can't write to the disc you inserted...".  Has anyone seen this issue and found a solution?  My Blue disk drive shows as: HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H20N ATA Device.
    Thanks in advance, Gary

    Yep! And so far, I can't use it.  Neither can I use any commercial backup program to write to either (yes, I have 2) optical drive, CD, DVD or BD inserted.  Silly me...expecting all this to work right out of the box!

  • If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

    It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
    I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

    Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
    If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
    If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
    However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
    Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

  • Blu ray drive no longer recognizing dvds or blu ray discs

    Until about a week ago I was able to read cds, dvds, and blu ray discs with my dv6 product number lm720av.  Windows 7 64 bit.  I put in a disc recently and it tries to read the disc for a couple of minutes before it stops trying and shows no disc in the drive.  I looked online and it looked like there were other instances of this happening but no one had a solution.  It can read cds but not dvd or blu ray at this point.  I tried uninstalling the optical drive via device manager and it uninstalled no problem then windows automatically found the drive and reinstalled the drivers which did not change the results.  I saw online people were suggesting running sfc under administrator mode in the command prompt.  No change.  Does this mean my blu ray diode failed?  I see two lenses in the drive, is one cd and the other a combo dvd/blu ray?  Any other suggestions?  
    I am about 3 weeks out of warranty on this laptop.

    Hi,
    The following procedure will test if your notebook can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the notebook.  So if you find that the notebook will not boot from the DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
    Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD.  Download the ISO from the link below.
    Windows 7 64bit
    You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, insert the DVD and then restart the notebook and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the DVD and restart.  If the notebook will not boot from the DVD, it will just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the DVD.
    Let me know.

  • 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

  • Fcp 7 project through compressor 3.5 or share re: creating blu ray disc

    Am I missing something but it seems you can't send a fcp project to compressor 3.5 via the "send to" option as there isn't any appropriate settings for blu ray, only HD DVD.
    But you can through the share option. Is that the case or am I just getting too old for all this new high tech stuff??
    "Roger Retired"

    Hi iamfrustrated
    I'll have to tell you I don't have much experience with compressor, I've been using Episode to transcode my DVD files and Encore to author my DVD's and I am just getting started with burning Blu-ray. But I would think you could simply burn a Blu-ray disc image to your hard drive from within compressor and then even use toast if you want to turn make additional copies. Is that perceivable?

  • 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?

  • Bad Quality blu ray disc, no matter what settings I use.

    I hope somebody has a solution for this issue:
    I exported a .m2t file from premiere using the mainconcept pro hd plugin. the video is a 1920 x 1080i 29.97 fps .m2t video at the highest mpeg quality settings on the plugin. The file its 29 gigs on size and looks great when played back directly, it is 1 hour and 45 minutes long. Then I imported the file to encore cs3 and made a nice set of menus and chapters, etc. Then I set the quality settings for transcoding to the best quality mpeg for 1920 x 1080 interlaced video, and check the project settings as well to the best quality. And here is when I notice a few strange things: 1.- The disc info bar, in the Build section, shows that the blu ray disc is using only 2.7 gigs of space, even when the .m2t file is 29 gigs and I`m using the best quality settings. 2.- the preview image in the monitor section looks choppy and very low quality. 3.- finally, after hours of transcoding and burning, the quality of the finished blu ray disc is very, very bad, and the total size of the files burned into the disc is about 7 gigs total. I tried many different quality settings in the program, but the results are the same or worst. I tried burning the original 29 gigs file using other program (cyberlink power producer) with no menus, and the results are far superior. (the things is I need the menus and chapters in this project, so I HAVE to do it in encore). Is there a way to get a decent quality blu ray using my video file in encore ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I had a couple of other thoughts.
    Are you using an Apple possibly with Leopard OS?
    If a PC which OS.
    How do you view the 29 GB file when you say it "looks great when played back directly"?
    Have you ever successfully burned a bluRay disk with your system?
    29 GB seems too big for that amount of footage (at least to me).
    You might check out this thread (particularly post #7 of 9)
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b5bb15
    which describes a workflow revolving around H.264. and the possible role of "forced interlacing" by Encore.
    I don't know if Jeff would agree, but there are a lot of problems with BluRay authoring. All you have to do is look up and down the list of posts. Personally, I think I bypassed all that by using Cineform.

  • 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...

  • Enocore CS5 error when trying to burn to blue ray disc

    My project consists of 4 AVCHD clips imported separately into Encore as timelines and then I deleted the timelines to keep just these assets.  I built a new timeline and added these three clips to this timeline.  Three of the AVCHD clips are on the timeline with a total time of about 3:30.  The fourth is a 30 second clip used for the motion menu  background.  The file size is 22.95 GB.  There are 39 chapters in the project, the top page (page 0) has three buttons linking to chapters 1, 21, and 30 (the start of each of the clips).  The other pages of the menu have 6 video buttons per page linked to chapters.  All of the clips when highlighted will lead to the project setting "Do Not Transcode" (which is what I want) and I am buring this to a 25GB blu ray disc.  When I checked the project everything seemed okay- no error messages.  I then went to build the disc and after about 20 minutes I got the following error message:
    "Blu-Ray Object: "<Menu>NTSC_FISH top menu",Error:"device error",Code: "2",
    Note: "Too many primary video streams in clip (Spec Table 9-3,Annex B)" 
    The menu name is NTSC_FISH topmenu.  Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix this?

    I went to the original motion menu source and saved it as Microsoft AVI (file name:    Premiere pro avi for menu.avi) instead of AVCHD hoping that might help and then brought that file into Encore and linked that as the motion video for the top menu (the other menus don't have a motion background). I tried to animate the buttons for all the menu pages.  When I click on the Premiere Pro avi for menu.avi asset the options show for DVD Transcode automatic and for Blu Ray Automatic (for transcoding).  The file shows as 720X576 and it is 34 seconds long.  The top menu is checked to animate buttons and I can uncheck it if I want, the submenus-start at page 1- have the animate buttons grayed out but checked and I can't uncheck these even if I wanted to. When I tried to burn this to disc, it got further along- burning 13.15 gb to disc and then I got the following error message:

  • HP HDX 16 Blu-Ray discs will not play!

    I have researched this Blu Ray issue for days without a real solution.  I am running Vista and notice many people feel upgrading to windows 7 was the issue, but I do not believe it is since I am still on Vista, with the same Blu-Ray disc issuey here.  Also I do not have Itunes another popular fix.  I did upgrade all the drivers I could and all the software I could from HP but did not resolve the issue.  I can play regular dvd discs but not the Blu-Ray ones with the exception of 1.  Surprisingly it is a newer one also.  Updating the Media Smart has also caused a problem with not being able to use the keyboard light at the top to open the dvd drive.  (one problem at a time though.) 
    The DVD Lightscribe drive shows as:  HL-DT-ST-BDDVDRW CT10L ATA Device
    After years of this issue being a problem does anyone have a real fix solution? Or  Does the Blu-Ray player need to be replaced and with what.
