Burning Blu-Ray with Compressor

Do any of you kind people know where I can find a step by step process to burn a Blu-Ray disc using compressor. I was able to do it once and it burned with no sound, and I have not been able to replicate even that process. I am able to use Compressor just fine other than with Blu-Ray. Apples documentation on how to use the Blu-Ray encoding part of Compressor is rather scant. I really need a detailed step by step guide on how to do it.
thanks--pete

This is a good one.

    File>New Batch From Template>Create Blu Ray.
    Then drag your exporting movie file onto the Compressor movie well or right click on the downward arrow and choose Source>File to locate your movie file.
    But a blank BDR or BDRE in your blu burner and chose submit.

  • 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.

  • Burn Blue-Ray with 7.1 sound - Dolby TrueHD

    Hi everybody, well, new version of FCS is out, including Compressor 3.5. It's great to see the Blue-Ray burning possibility, but it seems there's no support for 7.1 surround sound. Is there any way to burn Blue-Ray discs on Mac with Dolby True HD 7.1 surround sound? Thanks

    not possible yet.

  • Best export format for encoding & burning Blu-ray with toast?

    Hi!
    Have a 1 hour and fifteen minutes program which I burn to Blu-Ray with Toast 10/HD. The problem is the time it takes, about 25 hours. Is this resonable really?
    Maybe it´s depending on the format I put out from Final Cut - H.264, 1920 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)Stereo (L R), 48,000 kHz
    Does anyone know if there is a better export setting in Final Cut to get the process work faster in Toast?
    Best / Urban

    I've never used toast to burn a BluRay however I have used encore and I export 10 bit uncompressed out of FCP and compress that. If your over an hour of program you'll have to scale back the data rate to make it fit, a 90 minute feature looks good content wise, but any text on it will show signs of the reduced data rate. the encode typically takes about 8 hours to build the disk image on an 8 core mac then about 45 minutes to burn from the image. I burn first to a rewritable in case of issues, then if it passes muster I'll burn the master

  • Can't Burn Blu-ray with Share

    Content shorter than 20 minutes usually burns ok. Content longer than 20 minutes fails with message "check to see if boot volume has sufficient space." I've tried directly from FCP and via Compressor with same error. Uninstalled and reinstalled and updated latest FCP Studio. Able to burn with Toast 10 but would prefer to use FCP. Name brand discs. Lots of free disk space. No other apps running. Comments welcome. Suggestions other than Encore are welcome. Thanks.

    I have actually not had any issues with Share, whether to DVD or Blu-ray HD, particularly in Snow Leopard. I did find the share to MobileMe flakey, as to duration of time required, but don't do that much. There is the oddity that DVD+R media will not work with Create Disc -- only DVD-R.
    Creation of the discs are very fast.

  • Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

  • Has a stop marker any function when burning blu-ray discs with Premiere Elements 12?

    Stop marker when burning blu-ray discs with Pre 12. Does it works?

    Amiral
    No.
    This applies to Premiere Elements any version.
    Stop markers placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc are not recognized at playback of that disc using the Blu-ray player.
    If you need Blu-ray disc with stop markers, you can export your Premiere Elements Timeline content to an appropriate file type that will be compatible with a 3rd party software which will get the job done. I have heard that a software such as DVD Architect can do that, but I have not been there and done that.
    Stop markers function at playback of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc only. And, never place a stop marker at the end of the last item on that Timeline.

    Thank you.

    Add On...I have found that the situation is the same for stop markers and AVCHD on DVD and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.

  • What do i need to burn blu-rays?

    Hello everyone. I'm new to Final Cut Pro, and Macs in general, so please bare with me. I'm a film student, and recently purchased a Canon XH-A1s and a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro 6 to jump start my video production business.
    My only problem is that i only have the ability to produce HD video, so when it comes to distribution, DVD is really not an option. I've heard with an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7 that you can finally burn Blu-Rays without a third party application, just wondering if that was true.
    I was planning on upgrading to Final Cut Pro 7, and purchasing an external, USB Blu-Ray read/write drive. Should everything work ok if i go down that route?
    Thanks everyone,
    -Billy

    The Mac does not come with a Blu-ray burner. So you would be burning a Blu-ray compatible file to a standard DVD-5 or DVD-9. Neither of which are ideal for authoring Blu-ray content.
    Do an exhaustive search online about Blu-ray authoring and disk creation. This is not something for the hobbyist video creator (and I say hobbyist in the sense that you're not creating thousands of copies for mass distribution, so no one take offense.)
    Blu-ray is expensive and requires a lot of planning and prep to do it right. But you can't burn an official Blu-ray disc on a Mac as they stand. And, Compressor doesn't burn discs, it only creates files. DVD Studio Pro would be the app that would burn the Blu-ray disc, and DVDSP has not been upgraded since long before Blu-ray came on the scene.

  • How to make a 5.1 Surround Sound Blu-Ray with FCP

    Being disappointed that FCP only makes Blu-Ray discs with a stereo soundtrack I decided to find a way to make one with my 5.1 soundtrack. After hacking the build process by replacing the stereo AC3 file with a 5.1 version while it was still making the video file I stumbled on a very simple method of making a 5.1 Blu-Ray.
    In FCP, choose Share and select Blu-Ray. Check the box that says something like "burn Blu-Ray disc". When the project is ready to transcode and burn, hit the "Send to Compressor" button. Once in compressor, right-click on the Dolby Digital 2.0 setting and select "Edit Setting" (or "Change setting", not sure which, my FCP machine somewhere else at the moment) and browse to the 5.1 Dolby Digital setting. Select it and submit the job. When done, you'll have a 5.1 Blu-Ray disc of your project.

    There is no way to create a real Dolby sound unfortunately. The mac currently only supports 2 channel outputs. There are interfaces you can buy that will separate the bass and send it to the subwoofer, and fake a 5 channel sound field, but ultimately it will only run 2 sets of stereo speakers, and one mono in the middle, so it is not true surround sound.
    Here's a similar thread with more information if you are interested:
    How can I connect 5.1 speakers to Macbook Pro 13 bought Summer 2011
    I wish there were a way to do it, I personally am a recording musician and an audiophile, and have looked for the same thing on several occasions. But unfortunately at the time, it seems as though there is not the hardware to do it.

  • MacPro will burn dvds but won't burn blu-rays anymore?

    I've been using Compressor (ver. 3) to burn blu-rays and dvds of my movie for several months just fine.  A few days ago after opening my blu-ray project in Compressor it did the usual: tray opens and it says "Please insert blu-ray media…"  I put a blank disk in (the same kind I've been using all along) and pushed the keyboard eject button to close the tray but it didn't move.  I manually pushed the tray closed and I could hear it spin up several times and then it spit the disk back out.  I repeated this several times with no luck.  I tried different blu-ray media (didn't work).  I tried burning a dvd and it DID work, so I'm thinking it's not the blu-ray drive.  However I tried burning with Disk Utility and it wouldn't work.  I also tried to make a blu-ray burn folder and it wouldn't work.  It doesn't make sense that it can burn dvds but not blu-rays.
    I'm not sure what else to do.  I haven't upgraded (still on Lion).  Would upgrading to Mavericks fix this?  Everything's been working great so I didn't want to upgrade and mess it all up.  I fear taking it to an Apple Store will cost more than purchasing a new blu-ray burner.
    Any thoughts or advice?  Thank you for your help!

    Upgrade to Yosemite.

  • How do I burn BLU-RAY DVDS from my iMacs?

    I own a video production company and we can burn dvds in compressor, but we can't figure out how to setup a menu with multiple tracks to select different options.  Like a menu page.  Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac or by using an optional software? 
    A couple times compressor has gave us errors on burning a normal mov clip to Blu Ray, so if you recomeend or know any other softwares or even if I have to purchase a PC just to burn Blu Ray DVD's, can you please help me.

    Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac or by using an optional software?
    I do this using iDVD which is no longer available from Apple, but still available as part of iLife 09 and 11 versions from online vendors. You can either use Chapters or (my preference) simply import your videos as separate movies which will then show up as separate entities in the menu (and selectable separately).
    FWIW, Macs do not support burning or playing blu-ray without additional software (and a blu-ray burner) -  Roxio Toast is one that will work.

  • Is my hl-dt-st bddvdrw gbc-h20l capable of burning Blu Ray discs (BD-R)?

    Hello. I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9470 Desktop PC with an  hl-dt-st bddvdrw gbc-h20l drive running Windows 7 Ultimate (the pc came originally with Vista). For the first time I tried to burn a Blu Ray disc BD-R in fact. When I loaded the disc into tray, the pc started trying to read the disc, without success for endless minutes. In fact the door could not open even manually - I had to restart the system to take the disc out.
    I always thought that the specific drive was capable of not only reading but also burning Blu Rays - could someone let me know? Is it a matter of appropriate software?

    You're welcome.
    Click on support & driver links on the HP site, enter the complete model # of the PC, you will see a links for information pertaining to your PC, like: HP Pavilion Elite m9470gr Desktop PC Product Specifications

  • Burning Blu-Ray: Sometimes successful / Sometimes not

    I've been burning Blu-rays for the last couple of days. After a couple of burns, I get this message:
    But, here's the deal:
    I do indeed have a disk in the burner
    I can't eject said disk (so the computer may "find it") without dismounting...
    If I do unmount the burner, FCPX starts the burn process all over... with the same above message
    A "cycle" ensues... until I restart--not just the app--but the computer.
    Then... I'm good for a couple of burns before the cycle starts again.
    Trouble shoots:
    I've tried this across TWO different burners--two different brands, one NEW out of the box. Same result.
    This has happened across TWO different projects in the same library
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Burning Blu-ray disks.  Third party hardware needed?

    I have read from earlier posts that it is not possible to burn Blu-ray© disks from DVDSP. Can third party hardware be purchased to burn such a disk having assembled the digital assets in DVDSP? Any recommendations?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your responses. I see that from DVD SP Late-Breaking news that'HD DVD projects authored by DVD SP 4.0.3 fully comply with the 1.0 version of he HD DVD specification...the new HD DVD standard. The disks will play on Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later.
    I haven't commited to the Blu-ray© player, just the Sony HD camcorder.
    When the time comes, I will burn to a red laser disc per the Apple recommendation. And thanks for the Roxio link which makes it clear that a PC is needed for Blu-ray©
