Blu-Ray Export Settings

I am in the process of finishing a Blu-Ray project and I want to export it for Blu-Ray discs. Usually I would 'build' an ISO and burn that to a disc, so my first question is, is that the best way to do it? Export an ISO of the project and then burn that onto discs, or should I burn to discs straight from Encore?
Secondly, should I build a BD-R or a BD-ROM (and would I need different discs?) I want these Blu-Rays to play in most Blu-Ray players if not all. And also, what is BD-ROM content that I can add?
My last question is how do I name the Blu-Ray disc so for example, when someone puts it in their PS3, it says the title of my film instead of "untitled"? Is this something in Encore or in my ISO burning program (providing I burn ISOs)?
Thanks!

Export an ISO of the project and then burn that onto discs, or should I burn to discs straight from Encore?
Partly because Encore burning effectiveness was poor in the past, many of us have never tested it in CS6. So I much prefer build to image (or folder) and burn with something else (I use ImgBurn).
Secondly, should I build a BD-R or a BD-ROM (and would I need different discs?) I want these Blu-Rays to play in most Blu-Ray players if not all.
The selection of disk type when building to an image is regarding the type of disk you will use. Re the compatibilitgy issue, see this thread, starting with Neil's post at 16:

Not where I can check it, but I believe you just have to name the disk in disk properties. (Select the "disk" in the flowchart, or click in an open area of the project panel.)

Blu-ray export quality

When burning 1440x1080i25 to Blu-ray in Encore: in Export Settings, should you set it to High Quality or Long Form or Maximum Quality to get the best visual quality from normal DV tape footage?
Why when I select PCM in audio does it revert to Custom, and what is Custom? (which of the above three is it?)

When you first enter Encore, in the New Project box, in Advanced tab, in Audio Transcoding Scheme, you can select Dolby Digital, MPEG-1 Layer II (greyed out), or PCM. Then if you click File > Edit Quality Presets > Audio, you can select either Dolby Digital or PCM for the Audio Format Settings.
I need to know whether Dolby Digital will encode my music unaltered, or whether it will compress the VU level (make the loud parts softer and the soft parts louder)
It would also be useful to know whether PCM encoded sound will play on all BR players?

Try Save As and rename the file. Can you export the file now as a different format?
I'm guessing it's a corrupt file or it's written on bad blocks on your drive resulting in problems.

AVCHD - Blu-ray: what settings for best quality?

Hi Folks,
I've got a BD-burner and I want to export my edited HD avchd footage to BD with minimal quality loss.
Can you please advice me on the right settings?
* should I go for the 'Match Sequence Settings' option in the export menu?
* or probably select 'MPEG 2 Blu-ray' option for best quality?
* what is better in terms of quality of the outcome: 'MPEG 2 Blu-ray' vs. 'H.264 Blu-ray'?
Finally, I have a question related to Adobe Encore: the same footage exported through Adobe Media Encoder in 'MPEG2 Blu-ray' (takes 13 GB), Adobe Encore reports will take only 8GB?!? I'm puzzled here. How come the same footage got exported into files with different length? Is there a way to set the Encore to export in the maximum possible quality? Where can I locate this menu setting?
Thank you very much!

Forgot to mention, I'm using CS5 and I shoot in avchd, 30fps,

Combine 720 x 480 & 1280 x 720 on Blu Ray - best settings?

What is the best way to combine mutliple formats on a Blu Ray disk. I need to dsplay SD & HD video (720 x 480 & 1280 x 720) clips on the same disk. I have both formats on separate sequences in Premiere Pro and Encore. The sequences are set up corresponding to there respective specs. When I burn a disk evrything goes fine but the playback of the SD is inferior to a standard DVD. If I just burn the SD sequence to a Blu Ray disk, without the HD sequence then the playback quality is better.
I realize that displaying SD in HD shows all the flaws but this is definitly not good quality, lots of artifacts in flat tonal areas with motion.
Anyone have any good ideas for tweaking the transcode settings for the SD sequence , etc?

One way you can be certain that encodings of the SD material are up to snuff

Why don't you scale down the 1280x720 to SD. Hopefully, your SD footage is widescreen and you could make the 1280 widescreen as well (exporting from Ame) and burn a widescreen DVD in ENcore.
Then play the disc in an up converting DVD player.

Sorry John, but downscaling HD to SD to play in an upscaled SD player makes little if any sense to me.
@the OP - are your problems from a burned disc, and if so what is your player and firmware revision?
BD should be able to handle mixed resolutions with no trouble at all, but you need to be careful.
Not all players can handle the switch between HD & Sd very well - we had this issue on a commercial title recently where the extras were all 720 x 480 SD against the main title of 1920 x 1080/24 - certain players connected via HDMI had definite issues switching between resolutions.
One way you can be sure your SD footage is up to par would be to encode all these assets to MPEG-2 before importing them into Encore project.
This way you can proof them all before importing - set the files to "Do not transcode" in Encore, and from then on all issues with quality are down to the player.

Blu-Ray export fails.

This is a strange and *very* frustrating problem.
I'll choose Share >> Blu-Ray and select the Output Device as "Hard Drive (Blu-Ray)". Now, this used to work: it would create a disk image. Now, after having made no discernible changes to FCP X or any settings therein, It simply says "failed" as seen here:
I've tried using background rendering and not. I've re-installed FCP X and Compressor.
This is frustrating as ****...it's the last thing keeping me from sending to our client. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Well, it appears that trashing the .plist files may have worked: it's getting further than it did before. Whatapainintheass.

Blu Ray export is corrupted, help!

When exporting as Blu ray, FCP burns the disc allright, but when I view it with my blu ray player, all the video clip parts of thw movie are replaced with one 2second loop from the beginning of the movie. All photos show correctly though, and the sound plays properly in the background. In the timeline the movie plays correctly. FCP has rendered it 100%.

CS6 H264 Blu Ray Export Dolby Digital not bitrate selection Issues

Hello,
if we try to export in H264 for Blu Ray Format and switch to Dolby Digital the bitrate selection vanishes from the setting:
But if we deselect the audio export and select it again the bitrate can be set correctly.
Seems to be a small error in the media encoder CS6

Slight brightening of screen before new credits and scene transitions -- Blu Ray Export

Hey friends ---
I have an annoying problem and is one of those things that isn't 'glaring' which makes it difficult to find a straight, easy answer to.
After exporting my premiere pro cs5 timeline to bluray mpeg2 and authoring/burning it through encore, I am noticing a VERY annoying 'flicker' or 'brightening' of the black screen right before a new opening credit and even after scene transitions during playback of the final burned bluray disc. It's as if the screen brightens slightly one frame before the new credit or during the first frame of a new shot. Very annoying, and yes, it is subtle but it is very strange -- and whats worse is that it's not consistent. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't!
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
My source footage is from a canon 7d, 1920 x 1080p -- film shot at 24 fps. I am burning on BD-R bluray discs and am using my Playstation 3 for playback.
I've attached my bluray exporting settings --- maybe someone knows what's happening here and can help out ?
Thank you very much !!
Sincerely,
-Mark

It's probably your TV. Dynamic contrast features on television are usually the culprit. If you can find and disable the setting for "dynamic contrast" (or something similarly worded) then check it again, that should solve it.
Dynamic contrast isn't terrible when it's implemented more subtley. Larger and more expensive HDTVs usually handle it well. Smaller HDTVs (36" and under, usually 720p sets) are surprisingly bad at this.
It's not a bad thing...it can bring out details in dark scenes and handle highlights better in bright scenes. Generally speaking, the HDTV uses this function to compensate for the shortcomings of the LED/LCD/Plasma screen.
However, if you want constant contrast (to see a movie exactly with the sort of contrast intended by the director, and avoid possible artifacts) then you turn this setting off on your HDTV.
Keep in mind, this isn't something you can control for the end user. It's a hardware setting on HDTVs and is pretty universal (which is why you see things like "1,000,000,0000:1 contrast ratio!!!!!!")
If that doesn't turn out to be your issue, then hopefully someone else can shed some light on it. My bet says this is the problem.

Export to Blu-ray from Final Cut Pro 7 with LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray

Hi all
I've got an iMac with Snow Leopard and I'm editing HD video in Final Cut Pro 7. I've created AVCHD discs on DVD to play in my Blu-ray player but now I want to create Blu-rays that will play in a regular Blu-ray player.
Has anyone got any experience of using the LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray Re-Writer with FCP 7? I've checked other posts and it seems one user has had success with an earlier LG Model.
Basically if I connect this drive and use the Final Cut Blu-ray export option in share, will I be able to burn a playable Blu-ray?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi I have one of those drives too .. I use FCP to edit export the movie using 'current settings' and then import that movie Compressor .. alternative I also have Toast with the Blu-Ray plugin .. it gives a nice menu template and works well. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/plugin/overview.html

Premiere CC 2014.1 Blu-ray MPEG 2 export causing error in Sony DVD Architect Pro

I've filed a Bug Report for this but wanted to post here in case it helps anyone else or on the off chance someone can give me a solution / better work around.
Something has changed in the results of a Blu-ray MPEG2 export from Premiere 2014.1 vs those of the previous CC version. The result is that my authoring software of choice, Sony DVD Architect Pro, fails to prepare a disc image giving an error in the final stage of preparation. This workflow has been working fine for 2-3 years.
My work around is to export to original format (mxf / XDCAM EX HQ) and then go back to Media Encoder CC rather than 2014 to produce the Blu-ray MPEG2 file, which works without problem.
Here's a copy paste of my bug report in case anyone with a similar setup has an opportunity to replicate (I'd be very grateful to anyone able to confirm whether its a bug or something specific to me that I might be able to fix).
******BUG******
Export from Premiere 2014.1 directly or via Media Encoder of MPEG 2 1080 50i Blu-ray files causes error in preparation of Blu-ray disc in Sony DVD Architect 5.2.
This error does not occur when using the same Media Encode export preset in the previous version of Premiere Pro CC / Media Encoder.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Export Sequence from Premiere
Export, in my case XDCAMEX 1080i HQ, using a media encoder MPEG 2 Blu-ray preset:
Preset Name: HD 1080i 25
Format: MPEG2 Blu-ray
Bitrate Settings: Medium (Target 25Mbps)
2. Create DVD Architect 5.2 project
Set up as single movie Blu-ray project in DVD Architect:
Disc format: Blu-ray Disc
Resolution: 1920*1080
Framerate: 35 interlaced
Choose the file exported from Premiere
3 Prepare Disc
- Select Make Blu-ray Disc
- Click Prepare
- Choose Location of iso
- click next then finish
Result
Around 50% - 60% through the process the following error is displayed:
An error occurred while preparing compilation
Details:
File name: STREAM/00000.m2ts
Status: TSWrapper.dll::CTSWrapper::ProcThreadMain::Failed to read ES file. - The ES file may be shorter than the size described in the MUI file.
Expected results:
A shiny ISO ready to be burnt to disc and sent sent to eager customers.
Its taken me a full day and a half to isolate problem - someone remind me why I fall for the software updates every time?!
Cheers

There is a known bug in the H.264-Bluray export. I assume it has nothing to do with your issue, but perhaps it will give you something to consider.
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6848505#6848505
It appears due to a malformed xmpses file. It creates a problem on import into Encore, and I think it should do the same upon import into Architect or it would be ignored entirely. The test is to delete the xmpses file and see if that avoids the issue.

Export from Premiere to Encore to create a Blu-ray

Hi!
I've imported in Encore CS4 an HDV footage that I've edited in Premiere CS4. The footage was exported using Blu-ray H264 settings. I inserted the video and audio file into the project, I burned fine the Blu-ray, but the final result was that the entire footage was interlaced, so not "cinema-like". Is there a way to deinterlace my footage in Premiere or Encore so that the final Blu-ray is in progressive format? I've tried Red Giant Frames, but it seemes that Encore doens't mind of my settings and re-encode everything as he wants.
Maybe I wasn't so clear, so sorry for my english, but I'm italian. Thanks for the answers. Bye!

Premiere Pro CS4.01 has a new sequence and export option: Maximum Render Quality. It provides good quality deinterlacing and scaling from inside of Premiere. There are ways to deinterlace the footage external to Premiere that produce higher quality results, but that's a whole different workflow with several different tools.
Make sure to select Max Render Quality in your sequence settings, and then make sure that the Adobe Media Encoder has the same setting checked. (Look in the flyout/wing menu of the codec settings section of the AME.)
Be prepared for long render times.
You don't want to deinterlace in Premiere without Maximum Render Quality selected - your exported video will lose half of its resolution and will look terrible.

DVD & Blu-Ray audio out of sync after export

When I use FCP X's built in DVD or Blu-ray export option, about halfway through the video, the audio becomes out of sync and becomes ahead of the video.
How can I fix this?

Freddy,
You will see that I am experiencing the same issue with my DVDs and BDs per my question 3 hours prior to yours. It never was an issue until very recently. I may have a solution. Realizing that my audio was acting as if I had "Drop Frame" audio attached to "Non-Drop Frame" video, I went back to my source material to verify my acquisition settings. All elements of the production were recorded appropriately as "Drop Frame." Playback on the "Timeline" (Passé now) was perfect. No audio sync issues there. So I felt it must be some rendering setting within Compressor and the render engine. When you go to Compessor (Send to Compressor), you will gain access to the audio render settings for both DVD & BD. Typically, the "Retiming" under the "General" tab of the Audio Inspector is set to "100% of source." I Went ahead and checked off the radio button below that to render the audio at the exact duration of my program (nearly 3 hrs long). I did this for the DVD version of the program and placed it into DVD Studio Pro to replace the bad sync audio. Well wudda ya know....it worked. I haven't burned the DVD yet, but that is next. I suspect that if this works for the DVD, it may work for the BD render as well. Wish me luck. I hope this helps.
On a side note: If all else fails, render a MASSIVE master file and use that in Toast to make a BD. Not the best option, but it will get you out the door.

Exporting to blu ray and using episode problem

I have a 60 min HDV time line of which I would like to export to Blu Ray ready for the future so I can then delete the master files and clear some space of the main hard drive.
I bought a program by flip 4 mac called Episode Pro which plugs in to compressor and you can use it to export files apparently quicker and better.
Episode has a drop down box with Blu Ray settings for Video and Audio which I choose. so far so good.
When I tell it to export and then bring up the batch monitor it tells me that it take 3 or 4 days and the first try took 3 days and then a message failed came up.
After that I had to reboot because it messed up FCP too
Am I doing something wrong in episode and if I was to use normal compressor for Blu Ray exporting what settings should I use, I only see HD DVD?
Thank you in advance,
Regards
Darren

These are settings for compressor that I use.
I use bootcamp, windows, and DVDitPro HD to burn blu ray disc.
These settings are what DVDitPro likes ( no re-encoding)

Help with Connection Settings for Blu ray-to-Airport Express-to-TC?

I'm trying to use the network capability of my Sony Blu ray player and having no luck. I have the Blu ray connected via ethernet cable to the Airport Express, which in turn is connected wirelessly to my Time Capsule. The problem I'm having is horrendous because I'm so lame and no amount of forum or internet searching has helped.
The Blu ray network settings wants the following information:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server (Primary)
DNS Server (Secondary)
Do I get these settings from System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced or do I get them from either the Airport Express or Time Capsule using AirPort Utility?
I tried giving the Blu ray player a static IP Address in Time Capsule using DHCP Reservations and the Blu ray's MAC Address, but that's not working either. Between the AirPort Express, Time Capsule, cable modem, and MacBook Air there are numbers everywhere and I just don't which set to use.

Are you trying to connect it to your AirPort Express wirelessly? (That's probably the case if your AirPort Express is your only Wi-Fi device, as its Ethernet port would be connected to your broadband modem.)
Is your AirPort Express "N"-capable? What type of encryption are you using on your network?
Have you installed the "supplied Wireless LAN Adapter"?
