Blu-ray Error: "file already exists", Code: "6", "Audio buffer underflows. Total bit rate too high

Hopefully someon can help me out here - I'm stuck in my tracks. I'm reading through lots of threads on this topic, but don't understand what is going wrong here. CS6. Note: I have used Encore prior to put this material on a disc. I presently have a separate sequence paired down with only about 1/5 of the whole production. 1920x1080i, 29.97, H.264 Blu-ray, VBR 2-pass, PCM inside PP to produce .m4v/.wav. Here is what is confusing me - I tried a target of 10 and a max of 20 and I still get this error. I have tried different max bit rate "Default Transcode" settings in Encore as well. Note the time code listed "0.000000" - maybe that tells someone something. I don't really understand Encore yet, so maybe it is something I set wrong in Encore vs. my exports?

There are many similar, but not identical errors. And I assume you had already followed John's advice to review older threads. It is true they never quite pin a single set of issues down.
What specific version of Encore? Updated to 6.0.2.004? Encore staff once said updates solved some of these errors.
You say .wav for source files in Encore. But what format in the project? ac3?
Your versiono f the error is different from other one I see because it has a "audio buffer" rather than "video buffer" underflow.

Thank you ram8kumar. I will answer step-by-step, as you did:
- there is no subtitle in the project
- .PSD file is not to large, 2 files 1920X1080 and only 2-3Mb, and they only used as menu (I did this a milion times before), there is no slideshow in the project
- Disc name is not blank
- there is no sledeshow (burning a slideshow with no pan and zoom or with no transition with H264 settings)
Lest two might be the problem.
- I exported .h264 files from PPro CS5 with Matrox MXO2 Mini with MAX, Matrox preset and if I remember right target was 30Mb/sek
- Audio and video track duration in the timeline was 1(one) frame difference.
Thank you agan, and I will post the results as soon as I will get done with it.

Blu-Ray Error: "file already exists", Code: "6", Note"video buffer undeflows. Total bitrate is too

Hi,
I have just installed CS6 upgrading from CS4. I am doing a large project (2.5 hours of video) and have transcoded 6 sections successfully from Premier Pro using VBR-1 - the default. I saw somewhere on one of the forums that this may be a problem, but I cannot work out how to change to VBR-2 as it suggested or CBR for that matter. I have added a second sound trak and to enure this was not the problem I deleted it again.
I have tried several different options in Encore, and by increasing the max bit rate it seems to get further along, but I get the identical error. Currently, without the second sound trach and with a max bit rate of 40 it writes 4.1gb of the 31.0 gb file (it's a double layer blu-ray).
Any ideas?
Piccadillypunter

Thanks for the update idea - I had looked for Creative Suite updates, but they dont show there - don't know why.
I have now applied updates to Premier Pro and Encore. I also re-transcoded all assets from premier pro using VBR-2 with a target just under 23 and a max rate just under 25 (it wouldn't let me get 23 and 25 but just a fraction under in both cases). I then set up a completely new Encore project to ensure there was no "carry over" and tried again. This time it gets 12gb into 29gb of writing the file and then gives the same error, but with a different ridiculous number -1.04nnnn.
I'm out of ideas. Does anyone anywhere actually successfully use CS6 to write Blu-ray images - or this simply a marketing ploy for something that doesn't actually work?
This is sooooo frustrating - it gets so close, but then this bitrate thingy is a killer. Does anyone know what the actual problem is - or is it a furfie - (that maybe an Aussie expression - is it really not thast problem but that is what shows)
Hope someone can help me.

Blu-ray Error: "file not found", Code 8 and "Fatal Error", Code 6 Bug Resolution

Hello All,
After 4 wasted hours, I found that a Blu-Ray build will fail if the name you give the disc (altered from the default, "Untitled Project") is over a certain number of characters. The interesting thing is, a DVD build using the same timeline and chapters (if you have to author both SD and HD discs) will work fine. I do not know the number of characters that should be the limit, but Encore allows more than that limit. Beware, this was a time suck that cost me a day. Hope this helps someone.
Best Regards,
Mike J

Please help: Blu-ray error - file error - video buffer underflows

Hi all,
Just got a new video editing system and Blu-ray burner and was very excited to test out Blu-ray burning. Unfortunately I keep getting the following error whilst burning my timeline:
blu-ray file error: file already exists - code 6 note: video buffer underflows
The timeline consists of just one AVC video track and an ac3 track.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Ben

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the input but none of those solutions worked. Tried renaming the project but to no avail. I am using Vista 64bit so that MSXML solution is irrelevant too.
Interestingly I hit a buffer underlflow problem with Vegas DVD Architect 5.0 when I make a project with non transcodable elements. I literally have no idea why I am having these problems, but its pretty upsetting that I bought this whole new system, including Vegas and CS4 just for video, and I cant create a Blu-ray disc with either software!
Cheers

Blu-ray Error: fatal error, code 6, audio buffer underflows...

Ughh.... So its been a few months since I stopped using CS6 Encore because it loves to crash for all kinds of bad reasons. Today I needed to do a new project, and used a simple 1920x1080p MP4 file created by Adobe Media Encoder, and used a basic menu template in Encore. Also added a slideshow timeline with one Mp3 audio set to loop. During the building image part of the build process, I get the fatal error code 6, audio buffer underflows. Total bitrate too high neat time = 0.00000 seconds -
First off, I set the BR transcode setting to auto and it spends pleanty of time transcoding the file to a 15mbps bitrate, so why is Encore not first taking care of all the source files correctly in transcoding...?

Ok.... 100% the fault of the software. I am an SE, and build systems all the time for my business, so if I knew of these simple problems, Id go into the code and devise a solution...please Adobe, fix Encore.
Here are my simple finding from solving this problem (first post):
- Of the 2 simple Mp4 files produced by Media Encoder, one, which runs only 2 minutes, had a peak of a little over 10mbps. I dropped the file back into Encoder and set the same mp4 profile to max of 6mbps and then replaced the file in the encore project, ran build and it worked fine.
SO.... If I can use a simple free bit of software to look at the bitrate of a file (google Bitrate Viewer) and determine that the peak was possibly too high, why oh why cant adobe write a better transoding logic algorythm to decide if a video in a timeline needs to be reprocessed at a slightly lower bitrate before just attempting a build and then throwing an error. For the love of all that is holy, please tweek your transcoding decision process to prevent these simple errors.

BluRay error message "code 6, audio buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 000000 seconds."

Hello,
I’m trying to create BluRays using Encore and I keep getting the following error messages: ‘code 6, audio buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 000000 seconds.”
For info, I created a H264 Bluray - NTSC 24fps master from an Apple prores HQ in Adobe Media Encoder. Duration: 52m, size: 11go. I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.5, the bluray burner is Samsung SE-506CB/RSWD and the BR disks are TDK Blu-ray Disc 50 Spindle - 25GB 4X BD-R - Printable.
I looked around in forums and tried the following without success: replacing disk name to shorter name without space, creating bluray without menu frame, I also tried with a Mpeg2 bluray master. I tried to export a new master but I can't seem to be able to change the audio bitrate.
Can anyone please help ?
Thanks.

Hi Stan, thanks for getting back.
I tried to create a new master from Media Encoder but I can only export audio in PCM, I don't get a dolby option. See pic below.
I tried a new project in Encore and chose PCM instead of Dolby in the preference menu, but I still got the same error. Should I try again limiting bitrate to 15 ? I was on 30 before.
Please help, I've already wasted 10 bluray and this is getting really frustrating!

How to fix 'file already exists, code 6' cs5.03 win7 64bit bluray please

hello,
at the last part of a 31gb bluray h264 iso image burn
encore stops responding for 20 minutes (disappears from task manager
and performance monitor entirely) and then says 'code 6 file already exists'
the same error has occurred twice at the very end of the build
i cleared the preferences each time
any help is appreciated...
jeffrey

hello,
after a lot of reading and
some digging, figured out
how my system does things:
when you tell encore to write a bdmv folder
you come out with 2 folders: bdmv and a temp folder
using image burn you load up the first bdmv folder which contains
the streams, etc.
then tell image burn to load up the certificate folder
which is hiding in the temp/db/certificate directory
very clever...
disc burns successfully and menu navigation in tact on pc
and on hdtv through set top bluray
thanks for all the help...
have a great day...

Bit rate too high error

hi,
i am trying to burn my project which has 2 videos of 10 minutes each.
one of those videos has 19 sub-menus, which are very simple pages with nothing more than a button that says play (leading to the 2nd video). I also have 19 subtitle streams. all the video was encoded in compressor and the audio is ac3.
for bit rate setting i am using 6 and a max at 7. still getting error. not sure what the next step is here. the total i see as the project in terms of space looks like only 800 megs so i am not sure why i am getting this error. please help. thanks.

Try trashing your preference and getting rid of any PAR file associated with the disc and rebuild. Delete your old asset from the import window and trash it on your computer as well. If that doesn't work I would build the project from scratch and try again. Im looking for the data rates for a subtitle but I cant find it right now. But 6 mb/s CBr should be good.

Stumped - Video Bit Rate too High Error

I just upgraded to FCP 7x and I am trying to burn a disc on DV Studio Pro. It runs through the rendering fine, then when it is ready to burn it shuts down and says the video bit rate to high. So I went to the manual and the manual suggested changing the codec to Apple Pro 422, something like that. I did and am now still getting the same error. This has never happened before and I've been using FCP for 6 years. Anybody know what to do or has had a similar problem?

Let's get some terminology correct. I believe you mean it "compresses" fine. How are you compressing the file. In Compressor?
the manual suggested changing the codec to Apple Pro 422
I think you may have misread that. All SD DVD's are made from m2v files for picture and ac3 or aif files for audio. Pro Res is an editing codec.
This is my quick and easy how to make a first play SD DVD.
Just send the sequence to Compressor (Right click the sequence and send or export to Compressor). From Compressor choose the settings for DVD Best Quality 90 minutes (If your project length is longer choose a longer time). Submit the files. This will create 2 files. An m2v for picture and ac3 for audio.
Bring both of those files into DVDSP. Add the files to the empty track (a green box). Right click the track and select first play. Build the DVD then Burn.

File already exists " Code 6 "

After transcoding a large Blu Ray project I keep getting this error message.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I get the same error trying to produce Blu Ray ISO image or Blu Ray Disc.

The only error that I have ever gotten in En was the same as yours, or very close (do not recall the Code 6 part). In my case, I had a "template" Project, with the initial setup, and folders, plus some common Assets in it. I was then doing 17 Projects with unique Assets added to each. Everything worked perfectly, until # 15, which was almost identical (except for the unique Assets) to the first 14. Never found what was wrong with #15, but I just grabbed that "template" Project, Imported the unique Assets, altered my Menus, as before, and then all was good. Projects 16 & 17 authored without a hitch. I still feel that there was some OE on my part, with #15, and I must not have committed it with #15A. In my case, most of the real work was done in the "template," so it was not an issue for me to start over, but knowing exactly what I had done wrong, would have been nice.
Good luck, and glad that you got the Project finished, AND with some improvements along the way.

Another save for web devices error - File already exists?

I've been using the same Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 for about a year now, and only now this problem occurs to me.
Whenever I try to preview gifs in any browser (tried a few), I get the error message "Could not complete this operation. A file by this name already exists."
Tried renaming the files, replacing them, creating new ones, tried to enter preview on old files that previously worked, but always get the same error message.
I did some research and tried deleting both the main Save for Web and Devices pref file, and the other so called "hidden one" in the plugins folder. I've tried reinstalling photoshop from scratch. Nothing works.
Please help me. I'm near desperate :/

Ah, sorry, now I see what you're doing.
I haven't had the issue myself, but I can guess that one or more of the temporary files it needs to create in order to show them in your browser must be failing in creation. Check the permissions on the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable - you should have Full Control of your TEMP area..
Specifically, it creates a "Save for Web" subfolder there. You might be able to delete that entirely in order to start afresh.
Just to test, I've opened Photoshop CS4, entered Save for Web & Devices, and pressed the Preview button myself and it worked okay here... Your TEMP area is likely different than mine.

Using my superdrive to burn on a Imation DVD-R 8x
Disc Meter in DVDSP reads 1.3 GB

Hey David-
The total running time of all video (including video
for motion menus) is 1001 seconds (the book told me
to break it down into secon ds).
As far as the bit rate, I checked it and am exporting
currently to a max of 5 with an average of 4.5 (for
the video).
The audio is AIFF all the way, I think encoding in
Dolby is something a newer version fo compressor
does. I have FCP 4.5 with DVDSP 3.
I did export the audio as PCM AIFF, didn't shrin kthe
size in fact enlarged it slightly.
Do you figure if I have a bit rate max of 5 on video
with 3 1.5 bit rate audio tracks, I'll be all right?
Tom J
With your version of FCP & DVDSP, you'll need to encode the audio into Dolby Digital 2.0 with A.Pack, which is a separate program on your hard drive. With Final Cut Studio, Apple did away with A.Pack and merged its functionality into Compressor.

"bit rate too high" in menus with overlay files

Hi
I opened in DVDSP4 a project I was working in DVDSP2.
In DVDSP2 the project could build without a problem but now on DVDSP4 during build the program either gets stuck or gives the message "Muxer Bitrate Too High" when it reaches a menu with an overlay file (tiff or jpeg / advanced colors).
I didn't add any new assets to the project, just used transitions between buttons and menus available in DVDSP4.
As soon as I remove the overlay file, build continues succesfully.
Anybody has an idea about why this is happening?

Thank you for looking into this issue
Here is something I tried out:
I set the same file used for the overlay, as background image, and build was successful, which probably means that DVDSP can handle this type of file
Ps. Originally the files were tiff (they worked fine in DVD studio pro 2)
When the build problem started in DVDSP4, I converted them in jpeg but I had the same results.

Encoding error- Muxing bit rate too high

hi,
i am trying to burn my project which has 2 videos of 10 minutes each.
one of those videos has 19 subtitled tracks and simple sub-menus. All the video was encoded in compressor and i tried both a VBR and CBR. I am only using audio that is AC3. For bit rate setting i am using 6 and a max at 7. The muxing craps out about 33% though. When i open the last file in MPEG Clipstream, i can see it dumps out at about 8 minutes but there is nothing on any of the subtitle streams that appears out of place. Total project is under 1 gig in terms of space so i am not sure why i having problems. i also posted this on the dvdsp forum but so far, no one has been able to help solve the issue. please help. thanks.

What happened when you tried this?
