Blu Ray via Encore: H.264 or MPEG?
Hi,
I want to create a Blu Ray via Encoe Export to be played on a Samsung 1400 Blu Ray Player. Which settings would you use? H.264 or MPEG? What is the best bit rate?
Regards, Sascha
h.264 will give you better quality at a given bit rate. If memory serves, something between 19 and 30 Mbps.

Jerky playback of Blu Ray with Encore CS4 and Mac
I was very pleased by the fact that I created a Blu Ray disk on my first try...however, the footage plays back very jerky...almost like the frame rate dropped by half...I am using DVCPro 720p footage and compressing in two ways...1st did it in Media Encoder using the both 264 and mpeg 2 for blu-ray, and chose the proper format for 720p. Then I let Encore compress it using the automatic option...on all tries the video is playing back extremely jerky. I am also burning to re-writeable Blu Ray disks and playing back on PS3...anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks.
Chad CampbellI did the same thing 720p 60p shot on a panasonic p2. I used final cut studio to co press to a mpeg-2 blu-ray stream and then build the blu-ray in encore cs4, it played back smoothly no dropping of frames or any other issues. That might solve your problems.
I use a mac pro. -
HOW LONG TO BURN BLU RAY VIA COMPRESSOR 3.5?
Does anybody know the ballpaerk figure as to how long a 115 minute FCP 7 project exported to self contained movie and brought into Compressor 3.5 to burn a blu ray disk on an external blu ray writer will take? Is Roxio Toast any faster? Thanks much for your help.

This is getting more interesting by the minute. I have now set the project up as two blu ray DVD's -each around 72 minutes. When I go to 'send to compressor' from fcp 7, if I select HD DVD 90 minutes (assume that is the correct method as there is no 'blu ray' option) and then set Job Action to Blu Ray, I get the message with that nice little yellow triangle warning stating: "Cannot create Blu Ray disc as no target that is either mpeg 2 video elementary stream or H.264 stream". The fcp project in compressor is dolby digital prof. 2.0 and HD H.264 6.75 mbps.
I'm obviously doing something wrong here(?)
The HD DVD presets create files that are usable in DVD Studio Pro for making HD DVD's - not for authoring Blu-ray discs.
Here's what you need to do:
Create a new preset from "H.264 for Blu-ray".
Leave the video format and frame rate set to automatic, but lower the bitrate down to 20 Mbps with a max of 25 Mbps.
Then add a Dolby Digital Audio track as a second target.
Under job action set to create blu-ray disc but save it to the hard drive rather than trying to burn directly. (I know this an annoying extra step but there's been issues reporting with burning Blu-ray/AVCHD discs over 10 minutes in length.)
This will get it onto a single disc and 20 Mbps h.264 will still look pretty good. -
Hi,
I am having problems exporting my Blu-ray - I used Media Encoder to export my sequence from Premiere Pro, using the H.264 Blu-ray codec.
This is the error message I recieve, which appears after it seems to have burnt the disc and is on 'building streams': Blu-ray Error: "device not read", code: "3", Note: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M2S file.
I have tried re-exporting my footage, and creating new Encore projects.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
ThanksYou have solved your problem by using Imgburn (which I use for ALL disc burning) but here is some general information... for anyone else who reads this and wants to know "why" there may be problems
As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator,
which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and
which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD or a BluRay, you must
have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option... and a Mac version

Blue screen of death when building blu-ray in Encore CS6
I recently purchased a new laptop and installed Adobe Master Collection CS6. I purchased the laptop for video capture and editing, as well as for blu-ray authoring.
Unfortunately, although the computer and software works fine for video capture and editing, I am unable to author a blu-ray. For authoring, I am using Adobe’s Encore CS6. After checking and previewing my creation, I attempt to build to disc using Encore. About 2 seconds after clicking the build disc in Encore, I get the “blue screen of death” (BSOD). This happens every time I try to build to blu-ray (only blu-ray has this issue; I am able to build to a DVD). I am using an external blu-ray drive on USB 3.0.
I am using Encore version 6.0.0.492

Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help -
I have the older rounded airport and would like to connect it to a Sony blu-ray player via a LAN. Any thoughts?
I assume that your Sony Blu-ray player is network-ready and has an Ethernet port ... correct? If so, there shouldn't be any reason why it couldn't be connected to the LAN (opposing arrows) port on the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to gain network/Internet access.

Hey
Has anyone here burn a blu - ray dics in Encore CS4 ?
And have there been any problems about playing it on a blu -ray player ?
Regards
Mikael
you can contact me here :
[email protected]
I have burn a blu - ray , but have a problemIt is normal for a player to briefly pause as it seeks the disc for the menu, transition, or video you are having it load. This is a limitation of the format.
Normally, a player will freeze the last frame of the previous menu until it loads the next menu or video. This freeze usually lasts 0.5 seconds to 1 second. If your disc was burned too fast, uses too high of a bitrate, had dust or scratches on the surface while burning or playing, this amount of time to seek the disc will increase (and possibly go to a black screen if it can't load it within a second or two).
The black screen you are experiencing is a player issue, not a menu issue. You might be able to reduce the freeze if you correct any issues you might have had with your disc. If your disc is flawless, then there is nothing you can do. If you try it on a different player, you will likely see a different result.
Menu content is stored on the disc in a different physical location than timeline content, which will make it take slightly longer to go from a menu to a timeline or vise versa. -
Blu-Ray Jerking - Encore Help Needed!
Hi all,
I'm new to Encore and i'm just about to complete a project which involves burning some videos to DVD & Blu-Ray. I have burnt 5 DVD's and everything works perfect, but unfortunately now I am trying to burn the Blu-Rays and they have major issues. When I come to play the Blu-Ray on my computer, first of all they won't work with VLC (newest version) and the video seems to be jerking slightly. I have also noticed when the video thumbnails appear, the video and audio freezes (only time the audio is effected.) Oh and i'm not sure if this is relevant but the first two discs I burnt the video started playing in my PC about 30 seconds into one of the videos, completely skipping out the intro video, menu and part of said video.
My project consists of:
Intro animation/motion menu exported from AE
Menu file exported from PS
Audio track
Four videos from FCP, all 1920x1080. One is a "Current Settings" .mov export from a ProRes 422 HQ timeline and the others were this but have been compressed to an MP4 in Handbrake.
The menu system has video thumbnails and all of the above videos are linked well.
The loop point has been set at 18 seconds which is when the intro animation finishes and the video menu has fully faded in.
Each video has an end point which brings them back to this loop point.
As mentioned, this worked absolutely perfect with my DVD's but with the Blu-Rays it's completely messed up. The only difference between the two are the Blu-Ray project settings, the video transcode settings set by Encore and I have imported the "Current Settings" .mov from FCP for one video and not the compressed Handbrake file. I have done the "Check Project" and nothing comes back.
I am using the following equipment:
"LG Super Multi Blue" Blu-Ray burner.
TDK BD-R 25GB 1-4x Write Speed discs
Dell XPS 8700s Blu-Ray player for playback with VLC (won't open:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///D:\'. Check the log for details.
& CyberLink PowerDVD 12 which does work but the above issues are noticed.
Please if somebody could give me some suggestions to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. I am going away for a week on Monday and need to have these burnt and sent out to the clients before I do.While playback with computer emulators is helpful, you ultimately need a disk test. A BD+RE is very helpful.
What does Encore show as the Blu-ray transcode status (in that column over to the right in the Encore project panel): Do not transcode, Untranscoded? -
Whay does button navigation change after I burn to Blu-ray using Encore CS6?
Very odd. I've set up my Blu-ray project - created and previewed all the buttons, menus and navigation. The main menu contains a "Play Video" button, which is supposed to trigger the entire video to play. The "Chapters" button takes the viewer to a chapters menu. Everything previews fine on my computer. After I burn the disc, however, the button functions on my main menu have flipped. The "Play Video" button now takes the user to the chapter menu page and the "Chapters" button now plays the video. Also, the "Play Video" button is programmed to be the default for this menu. Now the menu defaults to the "Chapters" button. By the way, I created the same project on a DVD which plays as programmed. Any idea why the Blu-ray is having these issues? I'm thinking I'll reload Encore CS5 and reconstruct the project there. Thanks.
Hi, Stan.
I realized the problem was that the colors for the selected buttons on the Blu-ray version display darker than they do on the DVD. So I was being fooled into thinking the selected buttons weren't selected. Anyway, this was pilot error on my part. I just need to monkey with the color menu until I get the BR to approximate the DVD. Thanks. Cheers, Steve -
Authoring to Blu Ray from Encore
I created a wedding video that I wanted to burn to a Blu Ray disk. I first tried to burn directly to Blu Ray but the "Build" button is grayed out. Then I created an .iso image thinking that was the best solution, and linked to it, but the dang "Build" is still grayed out.
I can burn to DVD with no problems. I just can't figure out why I can't build a Blu Ray disk.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Still no fix for Chapter Markers exporting in H.264 Blu-ray for Encore import Error
Why didn't this fix take place in the recent PPRO 2014.2 update?
I still get the error in Encore that I can import the movie file due to chapter markers.
Does this mean we cant any more use Encore for authoring DVDs or Blurays?
Really don't like the Delete the chapter reference file to do this.The bug appears fixed to me.
First, I updated only AME to 2014.2. I exported directly from PR 2014.1, and, as expected, the xmpses file is malformed and import to Encore fails. Export using the queue (and therefore clearly AME), the export shows a corrected xmpses file, and import to Encore works.
Then I updated PR to 2014.2. Now, direct export from PR also works.
I did not test updating PR and not AME, and that might present a different result.
What are your versions of PR and AME?
Edit: couldn't resist. Rolled back AME to 2014.1 with PR still updated to 2014.2. Direct Export from PR works. -
Please Help! 5D footage to Blu-Ray!!
Ok...I'm trying to finish a project, shot on the Canon 5D Mark II 1920x1080 30p, transcoded to pro-res, edited in latest FCS. I want to author it to Blu-Ray via Encore. I see that Encore only supports 23.986 framerate for progressive footage. How do I go about conforming it. It's a 5 minute program with interviews, and music.
Please help!!Here is the list of Encore's supported BD formats, from the Encore FAQ's.
Good luck,

Exporting H.264 Blu-ray material in CS3
System:
2009 Mac Pro 3.33GHz Quad core
Snow Leopard 10.6.5
16GB RAM
Radeon HD 5870
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, 3.2.0
Video material:
DVCProHD, 1080p60i/24p, 23.976fps shot on P2, MXF file format.
Exporting to:
H.264 Blu-ray via Adobe Media Encoder
I can render Blu-ray material, and even burn it in an internal LG 10x Blu-ray burner that I installed. The result was wonderful when played back on a Blu-ray player and HDTV.
What I cannot figure out is why I have to render projects in small little segments, rather than one large one, and then line them all up on a timeline in Encore. I then have to rearrange my chapter points, since Encore places a chapter marker at each clip. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it's just annoying.
I've tried different settings, and the one that gives me the most success is starting with the preset for H.264 (Blu-ray), HDTV 1080p 23.976 High Quality, and switching the Profile from High to Main, and leaving the rest alone. I'm not sure if I tried HDTV 1080i 29.97... maybe I should. Whether it crashes or not seems to depend on how many effects are in the clip, or how long the segment is, but I can usually get away with up to about 10000 frames of video without a crash. The crash almost always occurs during the second pass of VBR encoding. It closes Premiere and offers the crash report window, which I am not good at decyphering. Anyway, I always submit the crash report with what I was trying to do. Adobe has many of them from me now.
Can anyone shed some light as to why it only allows 6000-10000 frames go through this encoding process? My system will show that it only used about 6 out of 16 GB of RAM after a fresh reboot. It helps if I reboot between each encode session, as well. If I try to encode two short segments without rebooting between, I usually get a crash. Also, I can encode DVDs just fine with the same project. I encoded the 105 minute movie with all the same effects, clips, etc. and the DVD was flawless on the first try. It's just the H.264 Blu-ray setting that jacks it up.
I'm glad I can get the thing done piecemeal, but I was hoping someone could at least explain why it's so difficult. (:I would agree, and I think it must have to do with RAM. When I get a segment exported successfully, the Activity Monitor shows very close to all 16 GB used in many cases. I surmise that when the program sucks too close to all 16GB up, it crashes.

DVD Remote "skip" Function Doesn't Work for Blu-ray Projects (CS5 Encore)
I have graduated from SD to HD and I need help.
I just finished my first HD project in CS5, burned it to a Blu-ray disk and immediately encountered a problem: the skip forward and the skip backward remote functions don’t work. (I have encountered several other problems on the way to get here but I solved those with the help of the manual and by browsing this forum ). In this project, I am doing exactly what I have done in my previous SD projects (where this function works):
In CS5 Encore, I added “Chapter Points at Intervals…”.
On the timeline Properties Panel, I kept the default selection “Operations: All Permitted” (that includes “Search for Chapter” in the “Permitted User Operations” menu).
In the “Project Preview” window, clicking on the “Next Chapter” or “Previous Chapter”, the function is executed correctly.
Still, after burning the blu-ray disk and pressing the “skip forward” or “skip backward” buttons on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP-BD65) remote, the “Operation is not permitted” message appears. (This very remote button function works on all my SD projects.)
More background info: I am also using Encore Chapter Markers from the PrPro project linked with Adobe Dynamic Link, chapter marker End Actions (Jeff’s The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, pp. 178-180), and Bill’s advice on using the “dip to black” transition to avoid the ~1 second gap between chapters in the Chapter Playlist that I use to play all chapters. The following observation may be unrelated: in Encore’s Monitor Panel, the “Step Forward” button with pressing the Alt key does not move the CTI to the next GOP mark. The “Step Forward” or “Step Backward” functions (without pressing the Alt key) work (moving the CTI one frame)..
At this point, I desperately need the Forum’s help.
Thanks,
- Laci.Up to now I worked only with standard definition projects and outputted them
to DVDs. This is my HD project. My problem is that I am a bit confused with
the proper (and simple) settings for a blu-ray project. Your
questions/comments imply that I am making a "DVD project" - but then, how
can I burn it to a BD?
Here is what I am doing, and please, let me know if/where I am making my
mistake:
1. On the camcorder the recording format is set to "AVCHD 1080/60i
HA".
2. In the CS5 PrPro new project:
a. General > Capture Format: HDV
b. New Sequence > Sequence Preset > AVCHD > "AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)".
3. In Encore: File > Project Settings > Basic:
a. Authoring Mode: "Blu-ray"
b. Transcode Settings: "Codec: MPEG-2; Dimensions: 1920 x 1080; Frame
Rate: 29.97, Fields: Upper Field First, Audio Transcoding Scheme: Dolby
Digital, Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate: 15.0 Mbps"
c. In the "Default Transcode Settings" window, the Blu-ray tab is
highlighted. (There, I could change the codec from MPEG-2 to H.264 -
according to some articles it would give slightly better quality in certain
circumstances - I don't know.)
d. On the Encore Project Panel, right clicking on the sequences, and
choosing "Transcode Settings" from the menu, I get a window that says "DVD
Transcoding" and "Blu-ray Transcoding". In the Blu-ray Transcoding section,
I choose Codec: MPEG-2, Dimension 1920x1080, Frame Rate: 29.97, Quality
Preset: Automatic Using Project Settings.
e. Going into the "Edit Quality Presets", I change the "Export
Settings Preset" to "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality" (from the 1280x720)
4. Now, in the Project Panel, under the Blu-ray Transcode Settings I
see: "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality MPEG-2".
Are these the correct settings for a high quality Blu-ray project? I am
re-transcoding the project with these settings to see if I still get the bad
transitions.
Thanks for your advice,
Laci. -
Encore CS5.1 Blu-ray Replication Problem - Master Failed BDA Compliance Testing
I've authored a Blu-ray in Encore 5.1
I purchased and used BluStreak Tracer with Export BDCMF
I sent the BDCMF to Cinram for duplication.
From Cinram I received "Master Failed BDA Compliance Testing"
The specific error is:
Verifier: Sony BD-ROM Verifier for FS and AV
Version: Version 2.04 Build 0049
Compliance: ERRORS DETECTED
Errors: 1
Warnings: 0
INPUT INFORMATION:
Source: DISC IMAGE
Type: BD25
Layer 0 Logical Sector count: 9008416
Path: Z:\01 TO_BE_BD_AACS_PROCESSED\SA_BPVZBG1001.1.A\Lovers Exile BDCMF\UD.DAT
ERROR INFORMATION:
Code: ES1711: Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus audio streams
Summary: The bsid field is not set to 1000b (8), or 110b (6). (See BD-ROM Part 3-1,
9.9.4)
How may I fix this problem? How do I get Enocre to set the bsid field to where the specs require it?
Are there any other work arounds to this particular problem as I am in a bit of spot because my client wants to distribute this fine disc we have created and Cinram will not because the Encore authoring does not appear to be conforming to the official specifications? A fair bit of money is on the line.Finally made it throug to tech support and they created a case number and they will call me when they have a solution. I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime I've got to find a solution.
The audio is encoded in the m2ts file so I’ve got to do the audio and video together. I’m considering re-encoding via Encore but using H264 instead of mpeg but I’m not sure what audio encoding options are available as of yet if I go that route.
I’m first trying to establish the tools (mediainfo run in cli) to be able to evaluate what BSID is spit out.
Another option I’m exploring is to re-render the m2ts files output by Encore (located in the stream dir) in Sony Vegas and see if they conform to BDA spec. I’d then have to replace the files in the Stream dir and wash it through BluStreak tracer but I’m not confident it will compile the CMF properly doing it that way.
A third option is to encode all the video via vegas, replace the footage in encore with the pre-encoded stuff (telling encore not to transcode it). I'm not sure if I can do this in Encore though.
Again, first step is to get the tools to “see” the problem.
Any advice is appreciated!
