Blu-ray video/audio asset

Use Preimiere and Media Encoder.
Should I muxed the video/audio or not? The demuxed m4v file can't seem to be played standalone.
Thanks!

Played HOW standalone?
A muxed file is generally made to play on a computer
As far as I know (I always give Encore an AVI and let it do the encoding to create a DVD... I don't do BluRay) Encore "prefers" a 2 part (video file and audio file) asset
When you feed the video file to Encore is should (again, I only use AVI) bring in the audio file of the same name, as long as it is in the same place as the video file... if you, you may need to import the audio file separate and link on the timeline
But... what does it say in the user guide about how to go from Premiere to Encore for BluRay?

What is a Blu-ray Disc-compliant asset?

I know this question sounds silly, anyone knows what Blu-ray Disc-compliant assets are? (I imagine 1920x1080 etc, etc) but is there a definition anywhere that explains more about it, I couldn't find it anywhere in the Adobe Help documents, according to the Adobe Encore Help : 'Blu‑ray Disc-compliant assets typically do not require transcoding", obviously I want to avoid transcoding any HD files if possible. Thanks for your help.

And yes like demon_hunter83 said, I do want to get the best possible quality (regardless of encoding/transcoding time), but I'm asking this question because I want to build my projects in a blu-ray format, and because my (slow) computer just took 53+ hours to transcode 1 hour 12 minutes and 58 seconds of HD footage to a DVD ISO built, I have no complains about the DVD quality I got, but I basically want to avoid transcoding at all possible, for those 2 reasons, first the time it takes to transcode and second to avoid any quality loss (if any), but when I hear people say that I have to transcode the files but at the same time the provided help says that it can be avoided by using blu-ray disc compliant assets I have to stop and ask someone who has been there or that has much more experience than me. Thanks again.
what that means is, if you bring in a mp4 or whatever file recorded on your camera, take it off of your camera memory, and dump it straight to Encore, completely vanilla, it HAS to trasncode it to a DISC proprietary format (be it DVD or Blu-ray) for it to work on a set-top player. if you take that SAME mp4 file, import it into premiere pro, and edit it (or dont. your choice), then export the video out to 'mpeg dvd/Blu-ray,' or 'h264 bluray,' THAT file will import into encore without needing to be trasncoded (because premiere already did that for us). so thats why it says "that it can be avoided by using blu-ray disc compliant assets" because they are importing a DISC proprietary asset that has already been trasncoded in premiere/avid/final cut/vegas/etc first.
as far as it taking forever and a day to trasncode, that is just the nature of working with HD if your system is not optimal. what are your specs for your system?
i prefer to do all encoding in premiere, while others (hunt, and such) prefer to drag in AVI assetts to encore and let it go, but with encore not having true background processing, i basically have to allocate a huge chunk of time to do that. so i would much rather set all assetts how i want them, and set up a queue for AME and while assetts are transcoding in AME, i can work on making menus and crap in Encore/PS and that is my preferred workflow. i set the assetts to trasncode to disc compliant formats, so all i have to do is drop it in encore, set my menu links to the assetts, and build disc.
but you can NOT get around having to transcode your camera footage. EVERY single one of us who uses any kind of format other than film, has to recompress an already compressed format to get it to disc. atleast with film you can work with notive lossless form source, somewhat. but such is working with digital captureing formats
the only way to avoid trasncoding to a blu-ray/dvd spec file is to burn an AVCHD disc, but those are NOT blu-ray spec, so it depends on the players and alot of factores whether or not they would even play. and encore does not even burn those types, so you would have to find other software that does that. but thats the only way i can think of... but again... it would have to be purely vanilla files from the camera, because if you did any editing in premiere, you have to transcode all that info to one final file... preferably a disc proprietary format

Encore a good choice for authoring Blu-ray videos with complex menus?

I currently use FCP X for editing videos of live band performances. I have been dissapointed in Toast Titanium for aurthoring the resulting Blu-ray videos because of the limited menu options.......I will often have 30 separate videos on a Blu-ray disk (one per song).
I am considering buying Premiere Pro CS6 to obtain Encore because I have been told it provides more complex menu options.
(1) Are you happy with Encore for aurthoring Blu-ray videos?
(2) Would I also need to buy After Effects?
I ask the 2nd question because I have watched an excellent "Authoring with Adobe Encore" tutorial here:
http://www.precomposed.com/tutorials/products/pro_motion_menu_kits/Encore_Authoring/
These folks offer some nice looking Menu Kits
http://www.precomposed.com/products/pro_motion_menu_kits/
but they use After Effects as well as Encore.
Thanks for the help.

Output to Blu-Ray and Audio from Gaming videos.

Just a simple questions, does premiere pro allow output as Blu-Ray. I have a series of home movies, I want to produce as Blue-Ray and all I can find is only DVD publishing.
On another issue, I am trying to create a video of online gaming that I play and the clan I belong to play to promote the clan, I have some footage from Arma 3, War Thunder, however with my Rust game the audio is very slow. How do I correct this, Would the video resolution affect the audio. I use Bandicam to capture my online gaming footage which is outputted as AVI file. This plays well in Windows Media Player, Realplayer, and PowerDirector (Does Blu-Ray 3D). I have been told by quite a few clan members that premiere pro was a good video editing software so I wanted to try and see for myself seeing I have a complete Creative cloud Subscription.
Video informations is as follows:
codec MPEG 1 Resolution: 1912 x1060 @ 30fps
Audio is MPEG -1 Layer 2 48000Hz @192 kbps Monophonic
Codecs are installed.
The audio, almost sound as thought I am speaking in game in slow motions, I have tried to increase the speed, got as far as 500% which is still too slow. I am new Premiere Pro.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could assist me with this.

Premiere Pro BY ITSELF will not create DVD or BluRay... you may export files for authoring in EncoreCS6, which is a separate download... go to the bottom of page #5 at The PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 for more information on using PProCC with EncoreCS6

No video playback on Blu-Ray (but audio is there)

I'm having a quirky issue with the Blu-Rays I'm burning for a client. The SDTV (16x9) burns are perfect, however when I reset Encore CS4 on Vista premium (32bit os) 4GB ram 64-bit processor to make a blu-ray the longest timeline (1:37:25:00) plays audio only under a black frame. All other HDTV files (1080i HDV original) play fine including one SDTV (4x3) file. I have rebuilt project from scratch with identical results. all files were imported from Premiere ok and were transcoded to MPEG-2 NTSC @ 1080i High Quality for Blu-Ray output. (I chose MPEG-2 as it is basically identical to HDV record format) Preview plays fine on desktop as does the BD-RE disk, but on PS3 and set top player I get no video over audio for the one longest file only, and it happens each and every time.

OK, I thought the solution was:
Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "on"
But apparently that is deprecated and I need to use:
xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
How and when would you guys run this command?

Thoughts on using AME to transcode Blu-Ray video...?

My workflow for Blu-Ray and DVD from Premiere to Encore has had to change since the demise of the Dynamic Link (due to the lack of an Encore CC).
In many ways this has turned out to be a good thing.
My typical project is an opera performance captured on a high-end consumer camcorder (Sony HDR-CX550V) which records an AVCHD folder full of clips. I edit the project in Premiere, adding titles, chapter marks, dissolves etc. I have started to make two-camera projects as well.
I was distraught when I discovered that the link between Premiere and Encore no longer worked in Premiere CC, but soon discovered a great deal of power and flexibility in setting the file sizes by varying the target bit rate and making other changes (such as changing the default PCM sound to Dolby Digital which takes up a lot less space).
I have discovered a curious anomaly, though, with my Blu-Ray transfers. I understand that the preferred file for Encore to ingest as Blu-Ray would be the h.264 Blu-Ray but have discovered that it takes several hours to transcode...and once I'm done, Encore wants to transcode it all over again...another significant time period wasted. An opera such as MAGIC FLUTE, which the company played in 2 hours 51 minutes (without intermissions, etc.) took FIVE hours to transcode to h.264 Blu-Ray and then Encore listed it as a file to transcode (another 2 hours or so).
Along with the added time, the process requires so many multiple transcodes I can't imagine some quality is not lost.
I decided to experiment with the MPEG-2 Blu-Ray setting and found that while it made larger files (still controllable by setting the bit rate...it wants to choose 30 but since the CAMERA can't provide a file with more than 21, setting the target bit rate at 20 makes the video just about fit, with auudio set as Dolby Digital).
The encode time for the above file is just above 1 1/2 hours. Encore ultimately takes some time to index the file (maybe 20 minutes) but puts a "don't transcode" marker on it so no further transcode is done. However, it comes up with a message complaining that the metadata is corrupt and recommending that I delete the .XMPSES file (but will lose my chapter markings). I delete the file, re-import the .m2v file...the chapter markings come in just fine. Is there a reason AME has to make this .XMPSES file in a way that Encore has something to complain about?
Also...is there a reason AME can't output an h.264 file that doesn't have to be re-processed by Encore? I understand .m4v is more advanced and efficient...but if creating one is such a more difficult, time-consuming process and I get a more-than-acceptable result with the .m2v Blu-Ray file, is there any logical reason why I should still consider the "preferred" h.264 encoding?

I wasn't aware that Encore did this automatically.
What I DO know is that with the new workflow eliminating the Dynamic Link I have the responsibility to do my own bit budgeting, and the ability to make choices in the export process to maximize the quality of my output.
I have a customer base that I can best describe as "cheap"! I recommend they buy a Blu-Ray player or computer disc reader. Even with their flat-screen TVs, they still opt for DVD.
I make recordings of opera performances for the benefit of the opera company (small amateur and semi-pro companies in New York City) and the performers. They balk at the idea that, say, THE MAGIC FLUTE, which weighs in at 2 hours 50 minutes on average, needs to be delivered on 2 DVDs for maximum quality (and I'm going to bill an extra $5 over the cost of a single DVD). So, real estate on these discs is extremely tight. I don't use dual-layer because I find them neither reliable nor cost-effective; in my experience they take forever to burn, the error rate is through the roof and they cost significantly more than single-layer.
SO I accommodate by lowering the bit rate.
In Premiere (or later in AME) I choose my favorite preset (NTSC DV Wide Progressive). The timeline comes in at a whopping 7928 MB, far in excess of the 4.7GB allowed on a single layer DVD. By the single act of changing the audio manually from PCM to Dolby Digital, the amount magically descends to 6,333. Now we change the bit rate from 5 to 3.5 MBPS. The proposed project size goes to 4,503, and I'll take the risk of doing an image at that rate (although sometimes I get burned by having the project exceed disc capacity and have to go back and do it again, since the numbers displayed as proposed project size are predictions/good-faith estimates AND there are other elements that have to go on the disc; since the transcode only takes about 45 minutes now, that's not a big deal). Yes, that's going to make a blurrier image than 5MBPS. My customers seem to prefer that to buying a Blu-Ray disc player for $79.95 at Best Buy and paying me an extra $5 for the Blu-Ray edition. Perhaps that's explainable by the fact that a previous videographer in one of these companies made the videos by recording the show in VHS and playing the VHS tapes into a VHS to DVD recorder ("Progress! We now have DVD!") I can assure that I get a better result than THAT.
The point: probably Encore would have transcoded the WAV file for me into AC3. It also would have freed up a bunch of space in doing so...and that space would be wasted since I didn't account for it in the bit budgeting process. Thus, in order to ensure the best video quality possible (i.e. the largest possible size video file in relation to the audio on the disc), it's necessary to mandate Dolby Digital/AC3 at the point of setting up the export. Allowing Encore to do it ensures a large blank area of disc space and if the project is more than a certain size, an unnecessary sacrifice in quality.

Encore won't create 5min simple blu ray video

I can't figure it out. I have a simple 4-5 minute video I worked with in Premiere and all I want to do is put it on a blu ray disc with no menu. It really doesn't get more simple than this. Using adobe dynamic link I'm able to create the build as an image. I burned it to a disc and it won't play. So I tried opening up the image using VLC media player and it won't open. Also I tried exporting the movie from Premiere as an MPEG2 and then importing it into Encore and same problem. Is the video too short? I've never had this problem.

Hi,
thanks for all the replies especially Stan for trying to replicate the problem! Here are some screen shots of what's on the disc:
Above: disc show the title of the movie

To answer Ann's question, Yes it is a BD disk and yes it is a BD project

Which H.264 settings for Blu ray with mixed assets

Hi,
I am still learning with the different options that I can chose in Encore for transcoding an asset but I am not sure what to chose.
I created a project in PP which uses the following formats 1080i/25,1080i/50, 720p/23,976 and 1080p/25.
the main scenes in PP is in 1080i/25. Most clips are documenting sports or moving objects.
If I use the automatic transcoding setting in Encore, it will be transcoded in 1080i/25 but is this really good? Although I am in a PAL region I think, for Blu Ray, I could also use NTSC settings like 1080p/25.
What shall I do?
Thanks

Blu Ray video disk will only display on W500 screen, not on attached screens

My W500 (Win7-64bit) plays blu-ray disks perfectly on the W500's screen. But it will not play on an attached 1600 x 1200 DVI monitor, either attached through a mini-dock, or via the DisplayPort and a DVI convertor adapter. In both those cases, WinDVD 2010 (which I purchased to replace WinDVD 8 provided) says "Your display environment does not support protected content playback" WinDVD 8 gives exactly the same message. The same Blu Ray drive plays DVD's perfectly to the 1600x1200 DVI screen. Anyone understand what the problem might be ?

Hello,
I saw your reply in this five year old thread asking about HDCP.
HDCP is short for High Definition Copy Protection. It means the devices at both ends (video card, monitor) must support encrypting the signal between them in order to prevent digital copying/piracy.

Blu-Ray video capture and burning with G4 Power Book ??

Good afternoon.
Has anybody figured out this route with a G4?
If so, please explain in nauseating details! Hardware, software, etc.......
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your reply.
It's also my understanding that OS X doesn't natively offer Blu-Ray support, and that an external Blu-Ray player/burner is required (see OWC) along with capture and burning software (Toast 10).
I'm wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded.

Blu Ray Video

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between a BluRay player and a 3D BluRay player.

To watch a standard Blu-Ray any player will work but as Jimmie said you MUST have a 3D Blu-Ray Player to play movies in 3D.

Encore CS4 is transcoding compliant Blu-Ray audio assets when set to 'Do not transcode'

Hi there,
I have a Blu-Ray concert video project consisting of 3-menus, 4-sequentially linked timelines (intro-1, intro-2, main concert timeline, and credits).
All audio assets consist of 96k/24-bit WAV files from the same professionally rendered mastered audio source.
Here's the issue:
When importing my 96k/24-bit audio assets in Encore CS4, they all show as Blu-Ray compliant and maintain the 'Do not transcode' property in the assets menu.
However, after rendering the project to Blu-Ray I immediately noticed that the main concert timeline (2-hrs 10-min) had been transcoded down to 48k/16-bit while the other smaller intro/credits timelines had rendered correctly and were playing back at the desired 96k.24-bit rate.
In order to eliminate possible issues with the main timeline's audio file source, I created a smaller main timeline (35-min) using the exact same audio source files and lo & behold - the main timeline was not down-transcoded and is playing back at the desired 96k/24-bit rate.
I'm wondering if there is a non-documented limitation in rendering audio files over a certain size as my main timeline is made up of 2-total WAV files of 2.2Gb each.
I have the ability to import a single AIFF file at 4.4GB for the main timeline - but for some reason CS4 does not recognize AIFF files as Blu-Ray compliant and will show the transcode setting as 'Automatic'.
Imported AIFF files always showed as 'Do not transcode' in the Blu-Ray assets menu in Encore CS3 (even though there is a documented bug which prevents rendering AIFF audio to Blu-Ray and I would have to convert to WAV files and re-import anyway in CS3).
My next step is to try splitting the main timeline into shorter chunks, but this is not the direction I want to go in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Cheers

Ok, solved my own problem - solution below for those with similar issues.
1. My audio timelines exported from Final Cut Pro as AIFF are actually 'AIFC' which is technically not Blu-Ray compliant, thus Encore will need to transcode. Unfortunately - Encore has no quality preset settings for dealing with PCM audio transcodes higher than 48k/16-bit (why not?). Encore CS4 will happily pass 96k/24-bit through to a Blu-Ray build without transcoding if the supplied file is true AIFF (not-AIFC) and/or similarly compliant WAV files.
2. My main Encore timeline consisted of 2-WAV files at 2.2Gb each placed in a single Encore timeline due to the total audio being over 4GB thus requiring me to split the source audio files in half in order to stay under the 4GB limit for WAV files, and also because I had to export the FCP audio timeline using Compressor in order to generate Blu-Ray compliant audio files (non-AIFC). Also - (possible bug?) if Encore has 2-separate audio files in the same timeline it will transcode the audio to the current project's default audio settings (48k/16-bit in my case) - even though the assets are showing as 'Do not transcode' in the asset menu for Blu-Ray. It clearly states in the Encore CS4 manual that imported WAV files at 96k/24-bit will not be transcoded - but it appears in this case when 2-audio files are placed in the same timeline that it will transcode with no warning - bothersome to say the least.
I suppose the alternative is to work with a lossless audio format which supports files larger than 4GB - which would only require a single audio file for a single Encore timeline, but other than DTS Master Audio (not available on this project) I'm not sure what audio format would work in Encore to support 96k/24-bit audio files larger than 4GB.
If anyone knows - drop some knowledge!
-Cheers

Audio clipping on Blu Ray

When I export using Encore to Blu Ray, the audio CLIPS! I can hear it clipping, especially the bass. I can't turn it up loud as I can when I am in Premiere. So wierd! In the editor Premiere, it works perfectly fine without clipping.
I've tried the highest audio setting to no avail
Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
MrD

Hey guys sorry for late reply.
Basically my levels are all below 0. I make sure in Premiere that no audio is clipping beyond the Red zero point.
I tried to watch it back on my computer with the blu ray drive playing the disc. I used the same speakers and computer setup as I did in Premiere... Also I tried watching it on a friends TV and it sounded clipped. I did not turn it up all the way, but it had that distortion I could hear.
@NIEL, the codecs I've tried are the two for blu-ray, Dolby and PCM. Either way same result... hmmmm

Blu-ray ripping, authoring, media player questions

OK, what are the best apps out there?
Playing blu-ray DVD audio:
I want to send multichannel surround sound to my audio interface. It needs to stay full resolution (eg. 24/96) - no downsampling! (Yes, I'm aware of how to do this with a DAW which is how I currently listen to DVDA content)
Ripping blu-ray DVD audio:
Simple. Rip the full res multichannel audio files to either individual wav files or a multichannel wav file.
Authoring blu-ray DVD audio:
Author stereo and surround audio files to the blu-ray format from individule high res files (L,R for stereo; Lf,C,Rf,Ls,Rs,Lfe for 5.1 surround). Only interested in PCM digital. Not dts or dloby.
I'm only interested in the high res stereo and multichannel surround audio. I don't watch movies much and could care less about those features.
Serious replies only please. Responses to anyone suggesting converting the audio to CD or mp3 quality will be vicious!
Thanks!
PS. Just to be clear before I get trolled by some sony employee...
Any BR-DVD to be ripped would be purchased and owned by me. I am not interested in any way in purchasing a restricted hardware disc player. Here in the 21st century we serve music and video (at the highest quality) to our sound/video systems from the computer. Thank you.
PSS. Yeah, I know I should ignore blu-ray and treat it as a nitch fly-by-night thing. Unfortunately audio content is starting to be released by some in this format only. And they're being encouraged by folks buying the restricted hardware DVD players. So here we go...

I've gotten some recommendations for tsMuxeR and Pavtube for rippers.
I've also been warned about Toast10 for authoring. It has a bug will not let you do PCM surround.
I'd still like to hear a recommendation for a good authoring app.

Instructions: Create Blu-Ray disc in Compressor with Final Cut TImeline

I searched mightily for simple instructions on how to do this. The Compressor help files are woefully inadequate in providing a simple walkthrough to do this. Burning a Blu-ray directly from Final Cut does not allow one to optimize the conversion like compressor does. So:
1) Right click your chosen sequence in Final Cut
2) Click "Share" The Share dialog box will come up.
3) Choose "Blu-Ray" in the destination drop down in the top-left corner of the Share window (don't forget to choose the destination location of the files at the top of the dialog)
4) Click "Send to Compressor" in the bottom-left corner
Compressor will open and a job will automatically be created with Blu-ray video
and Dolby ac3 audio. Set options and submit as usual in Compressor

The send to compressor option occasionally creates problems. Most people would recommend exporting as a self-contained movie, then bringing that into compressor and using your workflow from there.
