Chapter markers won't work when Blu-ray Disc burned

I just burned a Blu-ray Disc directly in FCP7 (using Sharing). My 5 chapter markers are nowhere to be found when I play the disc back in my player.
What happened? I don't want the chapter markers as subtitles -- simply want them to work as chapter markers.
I'm sure I've burned Blu-ray before and the chapter markers exported just fine. Don't know what's wrong, this time.

Larry, in Compressor, open the preview window and be sure the markers are there before encoding. If not, create a chapter list in DVDSP format and import it. I'm not sure why they don't show sometime, but I believe that if they appear in the Compressor preview window, they will be there on the final disc.
You can export a marker list from FCP and manipulate the text file (I use TextEdit's replace function) to turn it into this format:
00:23:24:15 Chapter one
00:35:12:19 Chapter two etc.
This can be imported in the Compressor preview window.

Blu-ray menu button made with dynamic link won't work on Blu-ray disc

Windows 7
CS6 cloud
Ok. So I used dynmamic link to my encore project and I also imported an mpg.4 as an asset for a separate menu button. I have two buttons on linked to the premire pro project and one linked to the mpg.4. Everything works fine in preview and the flow chart is fine everything is going where its supposed to go.
When I play the blu-ray disc the menu shows, the video thumbnails show...but when I hit the menu button that is supposed to play the premier pro video it does not work. But when I hit the menu button for the mpeg.4 video it does work.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Please post a screenshot of your flowchart.

Go to next chapter not working with Blu-ray disc

I’m using Adobe Encore CS 5 to create Blu-ray disc but when the disc is created the go to next chapter buttons do not work. In Encore when using the preview option the go to next chapter buttons do work but once the Blu-ray is created and I try to go to next chapter while playing the disc I receive a message that reads "operation not available". I have created multiple Blu-Ray projects, used different brand Blu-ray media and even used my Windows system and my Mac system but the same issue keeps happening. I’ve also played the Blu-ray on multiple Blu-ray players and it happens on all of them. The Blu-ray burner I’m using is a LG BE14NU40 External Blu-ray burner and I have contacted them but they tell me it is a problem with Encore not the burner.

Google "encore blu-ray next chapter remote".
Example: Re: Encore 5 "Next / Forward" Button Not Available For Blu-Ray?
You'll find lots of issues. This function may work if the project is very simple. But perhaps not.

Preview works perfect, Blu Ray disc doesn't - Encore Cs5.1

Hello All
I have never had any trouble creating blu ray discs before until this one. I have a project created with no errors reported when i check it. The flow chart looks good. The timelines dont have crazy long names with spaces. The preview plays PERFECTLY!!! After burning the project to a blu ray disc i see that the buttons on one particular menu will not work even though they are connected to the proper timelines. Also the FirstPlay which is a short 20 sec video timeline will not play.
Its driving me crazy cause ive never had trouble creating a blu ray before. Ive tried to play it in three different players and all the same results.
Am i missing something

Well im not sure yet but i think this was a problem with me Premiere Pro exports. I had exported all but one video with a 25 frame rate. apparently blu-ray will not play that. Im currently exporting new video in a 29.97 frame rate and will attempt to burn a new disc.

H264 file conversion for use in DVDit on PC for Blu-Ray Disc Burn

We're trying to create our first Blu-Ray HD disc project and have met with some success. The problem is the frame update rate on the Blu-Ray during playback. It's not real time. Here's the workflow that we created since FCP doesn't support Blu-Ray yet. We're taking the original animation source footage created in AVI with the following specs: progressive, 1280x720. 59.94, 158 mb/s and importing into FCP. Then, after editing we export an H264 out of Compressor with these specs: progressive, 1280x720. 59.94, 16 mb/s. We then take that H264 file to DVDit on the PC and author the Blu-Ray disc. The resolution of the video is fantastic but the frame rate lags at certain areas. This is unacceptable to the client so we're trying to fix the problem. Any Ideas or better workflow? Thanks.

Hi Video Dude
here's a good article I posted on the DVDSP forum as well. It tells a bunch about workflow and the problems the author faced. I hope you know that this is kind of a new technology - so much so that I would frankly say it's in the beta stanges at this point even though you can buy players and authoring software - problems might come up that you have no control at this point. Just so you & your client relize this. Check for plyer updates as well.
Good Luck

No Chapter markers in share - DVD or blu ray?????

Hi there,
Latest version of Lion and FCX.
I burned my 1st blu ray for a client last night (wuhoo!). It looks great. Outstanding actually. Used a Matrox CompressHD card to compress the H.264.
But I noticed no chapter markers present.
Thinking it was the matrox card, I did some investigation.
Turns out that chapter markers are 'apparently', NOT transferred during the share feature??!??! It doesn't matter what I use for compression - markers simply don't transfer from FCX to Compressor 4!?!?!
Maybe I did something wrong - I'm just learning FCX after using FCP for years.
I had to re-create the chapters in Compressor 4.
Is that the way to have chapter markers carry across?
If so, that is simply one of the most asinine decisions about this product. Forget all the hassles about not importing previous projects etc.. as that is a different issue, but discontinuing one of the most basic features from the previous product is just ridiculous.
Can anyone confirm the chapter marker workflow? Again, it could be me doing something wrong, but I have a funny (and SAD!) feeling I'm not...
Cheers,
Keebler

No, you're not doing something wrong, chapter markers are a glaring omission from FCP X but apparently, Apple sees no future in DVD or even Blu Ray, so we're stuck with using Compressor or some other application to add chapter markers.
Fortunately, this is very simple if you list the timecode (each on separate lines in a text file) where you want the chapter markers to be - Compressor will import them and the markers appear automatically.
I agree with you though - it's pretty lame.

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.

IMac won't accept blu-ray discs

My iMac won't accept a blu-ray disc when I insert it - the iMac spits it back out after about 10 to 15 seconds. I then tried a normal DVD and the iMac accepted it and started playing it almost immediately. Is it not possible to play blu-ray discs on an iMac or Powerbook? Are there any fixes?

Hi guys,
I in the same situation as Seattle Oz, in that I am thinking of buying an iMac and would like to use it to produce high-definition videos. I currently use a Sony VAIO VGN -- A R21S which has a Blu-ray disk drive. I am told that with the use of Roxio Toast, I can burn to a Blu-ray disc but cannot play it. I find it pretty incredible that a product that is renowned for video editing and allows you to produce a Blu-ray disc doesn't actually have the facility to play it! However that being the case, what does anyone else do, to produce HD quality videos and how do they export them, if not by Blu-ray disc. I would also like to know what format the output is in, when it is burned onto the Blu-ray disc.

Blu-ray disc

Is it possible to burn a HD Blu-ray disc from and FCE project? I have Toast 10 Titanium, and a LaCie Blu-ray disc burner.

You use Toast. You export to QuickTime Movie. Take the export file to Toast. Toast burns the disc.

How do you get Chapter Markers to work when burning a Blu-ray Disc in FCP7?

I created my first-ever Blu-ray disc yesterday, using FCP7. My edited video was 95 minutes long -- it took 10 hours to encode and burn the disc, using an external Blu-ray burner.
The Blu-ray disc looks and sounds great -- but my 21 chapter markers are nowhere to be found. When I play back the disc in my standalone Blu-ray player, clicking "next" on the remote simply advances the video in 30-second increments (instead of taking me to the chapter markers I'd carefully created in FCP -- because this was a music concert performance, the markers are important and I need them to work.)
Somebody please help ...

Hi Larry,
just to clarify in the 'edit markers' dialogue box you have clicked 'Add Chapter Marker' button and this has added the text '<CHAPTER>' to the 'comment' box.

Blu-ray disc chapter buttons not working on authored disc.

Hi all,
I've created many SD dvd's with chapter menus without problem. However, my first attempt at a blu-ray disc is causing me trouble.
I'm running Enore CS4 under Windows 7. I had to install the "pxengine4_18_16a" driver because Encore CS4 was hanging up when i selected the "BLU-RAY" format under the Build tab. After i got Encore CS4 working, i started assembling the BD video.
I linked all of the chapter menu buttons to chapter playlists pointing to single chapter points in the timline. I tested the BD in Preview. It shows that the menu buttons are linked properly and are functioning. However, the authored BD disc isn't playing the chapters after selecting the chapter menu buttons. All of the other BD disc buttons work like; PLAY ALL, RESUME, MENU, MAIN MENU, just not the actual buttons that play the various chapter points on the timeline.
Is this a result of installing the "pxengine4_18_16a" driver or something else?
Has anyone encountered this problem with BD authoring?

The BD is not playing properly on the pc or a standalone?
I test BD first as an iso with Power dvd ultra with Virtual Clone DVD.
If the menu works properly its the standalone, might burn with a lower speed.
When dvd came out first there was a lot of incompatibilities, history is repeating itself.

Chapter Markers won't appear on Marker list in FCP X settings when trying to Burn a Standard Definition Disc

Help,
Trying to burn an SD DVD disc in FCP X from the Share menu. I've set Orange Chapter Markers with Titles in my project from the timeline and these don't appear when I check the box to use chapter markers for Subtitles in the Destinations box to burn a DVD. I've set a photo in the main menu and it appears with the Title of my Project, but in the Chapter Menu it only shows the default list of Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Shouldn't my Chapters show up on the list after I set them up on my timeline in the project? Also, I did burn a disc with my Chapters not showing up the chapter list and my disc only plays from the Main menu with the picture inserted. There's a slash line in the Chapter list button stating I can't use that option and I can't play chapters. Trying to get this project out the door before January 20, 2013. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Dave

This "Share" feature behaves the same in both FCP7 and FCPX (it may actually be the only thing they have in common).
Since the specification for DVD-Video does not support titled chapter points, the text that you have entered for the marker does not appear on the burned DVD. You only get DVD chapter points at the same time index as the time code position of the FCP marker (and even then, it's at the closest i-frame of the MPEG2 GOP structure). Also, the first frame is always "Chapter 1". So, if your first FCP7/X marker at two minutes is named "Later that day...", then on the burned DVD it will appear as "Chapter 2".
Checking "use chapter markers for Subtitles" was a good guess; however, this feature turns extended markers into subtitles (a very, very quick way to create subtitles, but limited when compared to what can be done in DVD Studio Pro).
Could a QuickTime movie burned to a DVD-R/+R work instead of a DVD? QuickTime chapter markers support text.

For CS4 you must update the Roxio component, especially with Win8
