Converting Blu-Ray

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to convert Blu-Ray to MKV in Arch? Would save me spending time in Windows 7 if I can do it in Arch. I can don't mind pre-ripping it to m2ts in Windows but it takes so long it would be nice ti be able to do it in Arch.
I'm only new to Arch so apologies if this has been covered before.

  • Blu-Ray on iPhone?

    Hi all, I have an iPhone 4 and I want to watch Blu-Ray movies from iTunes. Is there a program that is recommended by anyone that will convert the BD movies so they are vewable on an iPhone? A friend of mine has an iPhone 4S and is wanting to do the same. Thank you.

    No. I was asking if there was a legal piece of software that converted Blu-Ray movies into a format that the iPhone can understand. I was doing a search and I found several programs call 'Blu-Ray to iPhone Converter'. One had a free trial. I just wasn't ready to plunk down 40 bucks and see what happened. These are BD movies I already own I want to get them onto iTunes and watch them anywhere I go. I have job related travel during the course of the year and it would be nice to watch my movies on the go.

  • I have a late 2013 27" iMac, can anyone recommend a really good external blu-ray player?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a stock late 2013 27" iMac and I'm looking to purchase a really good external blu-ray player. I would prefer a Samsung USB 3.0.
    Thanks!

    There are many solutions for watching BLU-RAY MOVIES on MAcs.
    One is to download Bluray for Mac ... with a blueray player, this little player plays most bluerays perfectly.
    You can download a trial for free here: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
    Second, You can get a program called MAKEMKV and use it in combination with VLC PLAYER to convert BLU-Ray to MKV format or STREAM from LOCAL NETWORK FAST to watch Blue Ray Free!!!!
    GET MAKE MKV here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34693/makemkv
    And VLC PLAYER HERE: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2139_4-10210434.html?tag=mncol;tx t
    There are videos on YOU TUBE to show you how to use MAKEMKV and VLC together.
    Also, I just purchased a SAMSUNG Ext. SLIM Bluray writer for under $100 that works great for playing and burning Bluray Disc!
    Good Luck

  • How to convert Hi8 to iMac? Have 2 video cameras: Sony CCD-YRV98 video Hi8 and Panasonic SDR-SW20 digital video. Please provide the steps to convert to iMovie '11. Also, is there a way to burn in blu-ray?

    I already have two video cameras. One older (Sony) in Hi8 and the less older one (Panasonic) which is digital. Between the two can it be accomplished to transfer the Hi8 video on tapes to iMovie?
    I have the newer iMac 21.5" and also would like to know if it is possible to record this on blu-ray. The iMac didn't come with iDVD, which means I have to get that uploaded. Any other suggestions?

    Sony Hi8 camcorder
    No it is an Analog Camera - and have NO Digital-Out
    I may be made a Wrongful assumption in that the - Panasonic digital camcorder - was a Digital 8 Camera.
    If it is - it has a Digital Out (FireWire) and can playback the Hi 8 tapes from the other Camera.
    If it is a miniDV Camera - it also have a FW-out (Digital out) - BUT can not play Your Hi 8 tapes.
    Then there are not so many ways to do this.
    If Your Panasonic digital camcorder - Has Analog in RECORDING ( not all have this, it was an EXTRA Cost ! ) - Then You can playback from the Hi 8 Camera to this and record onto a miniDV tape - to be played and Captured/Imported into Your Mac.
    The Panasonic digital camcorder - Might have a feature - Play trough - that makes it possibly to use it as an Analog - Digital bridge - some can do this - But You've not told the exact type/no: etc - So I can not guess.
    If this still do not work (The Panasonic digital camcorder do not have an Analog in connection/function)
    - Then You need an Analog/Digita Converting box - from Hi 8 to this A/D-box then to Mac via FireWire.
    There are several types and prices - I got a fairly expensive box due to that I've lot's of old VHS tapes in even bad quality. And this - Canopus ADVC-300 - has a function - Timebase Correction - that helps a lot in regard to drop outs and Audio slowly going out of sync. I just keeps perfect even over several Hours of VHS-tapes.

  • Best approach to convert HD camcorder footage to blue-ray (and archive)

    I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder that I have used to take HD footage.  I would like to archive the tapes' raw footage (for backup purposes) and also burn a blue-ray for each tape.  Prior to the Canon (and switching to Macs) I had been using Studio on a Windows system to do the same for footage from a standard def Sony camcorder.  Despite reading through the material on this forum and elsewhere I am confused about a couple of items and am hoping someone can help me understand how to archive and burn the camroder footage to BD easily.
    Coming from the Windows environment, I was used to Studio taking raw footage and converting the entire tape to one .avi file that I could then edit in a baisc manner (trim, add menus, add transitions, add chapters, etc. but not adding other audio, etc.) and burn...all in Studio.  The Windows desktop I had been using for standard def is not powerful enough for HD (it's from 2004) so I have to explore other options.
    I have a MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo process and 4 GB memory and am using Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I also have iMovie 08 (7.1.4 [585]) and Toast Titanium Pro with the HD/BD plug in (11.0.04).  Toast will not recognize the Canon camcorder connected using the Firewire 400 connection (but will recognize the Sony).  So I have used iMovie to download the camcorder footage to my MBP in HD (full quality).
    Here are my questions:
    1.  when downloading, it appears that iMovie does not retain the raw/same format as used by the Canon but converts it to something called Apple Intermediate Codecc.  Does this converstion affect the quality of the footage?  I do not want to use the convered material as archival material if it's already been converted once.
    2.  If the answer to # 1 is yes, iMovie converts the raw footage, is there another program that I can use in a Mac-environment that will simply download the footage in it's original format?
    3.  iMovie also splits up the footage into clips vs. showing one file and I cannot combine the clips into one clip (to be analogous to the workflow I have been used to in Studio).  Is there a way to do so?  Short of backing up my entire laptop (which I do), how can I extract the original footage from iMovie and copy it for archiving on a NAS drive?
    4.  Where is the best "place"/approach to perform basic editing (adding menu, adding chapters for different sections of the disc, etc.) on the footage?
    5.  If the answer to #4 is iMovie, would I then simply burn the iMovie project in Toast to Blue-ray?
    I had thought achieving my goals would have been easy in a Mac environment (like it is for everything else) but am surprised to find it so difficult compared to how easy it was in Studio.  (Am I really better off getting a lower-end Windows 7 desktop and upgrading Studio and keep that just for converting our HD camcorder tapes to blue-ray?  I would rather not do so of course.)
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Calbe and AppleMan1958
    Thanks for the replies.  Based on your replies, I think I can stay in the Mac-environment.
    1 and 2.  I cannot archive as AppleMan1958 suggested to keep the original without conversion because the footage is HDV 1080i.  I understand however that iMovie will import and convert using a lossles codec.  (The camera is tape-based and doesn't show up in Finder.)
    3.  Having archived copy (if there is software that will let me do so for HDV) will negate the need to find the iMovie "version" but if necessary can do so directly.
    4.  One follow-up questions...if I use iMovies, do I simply use the project or the actual movie for purposes of burning to disc?
    5.  I agree Calbe...it's different so I'm thinking it's difficult.  I am sure I'll get the hang of it once I better understand how the flow works from camera to disc!
    AppleMan1958, is there another consumer level app that you can recommend that I can use for archiving HDV?
    Thanks for the quick replies.

  • MXF OP1a Master file converted to Blu Ray in AME to .m4v showa up in Encore as Untranscoded

    Just started creating Blu Ray DVDs from MXF OP1a AVC-I 100 Master files.
    I use AME to convert to BR matching the settings of the master. It converts successfully creating  video .m4v and PCM files.
    When I import them into Encore 6.02, the Project window info displays the video file as  " Remix. m4v    Video file      Untranscoded".  And     " Remix.wav   WAV audio   "Untranscoded"
    Whats up with that? If they have been trancoded by AME why does Encore say they are Untranscoded?

    The project panel shows both the DVD and the Bluray transcode status/settings. Make sure you are looking at the Bluray column.
    What is the audio format for your disk settings? If set to dolby, Encore will show your pcm as untranscoded. Also, try changing the setting for the pcm asset to "do not transcode."
    Are you using 5.1?
    I use AME to convert to BR matching the settings of the master.
    Are the settings of the master BD compliant?

  • Blu-ray burning converts 5.1 audio to 2.0.  Why?

    When burning a Blu-Ray disk with 5.1 audio, the audio is converted to 2.0.
    Attempting to create self-contained quicktime files and bringing them directly into compressor still fails to keep the 5.1 audio.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    If this project is starting in FCP you need to make sure that your channel assignments are correct there first. Meaning, by default, FCP is setup as stereo 2.0 and will mixdown the audio tracks. You need to change your sequence audio settings to 6 channels and then manually assign your tracks in the timeline. Then, when you send to Compressor (or export a QT) you'll have discrete tracks instead of a mixed-down stereo pair.

  • Compressor doesn't convert the entire Blu-Ray file.

    I have FCP 7. Tell me if I've done something wrong here.
    1. I exported as a quicktime file a wedding video that is about 3 hours long.
    2. The file is all their from beginning to end. I then drop it into compressor and set it up to export the 120 gig file to fit onto a Blu-Ray.
    3. Compressor exports the file but only up to the 2.5 hour mark instead of the entire 3 hours.
    Is this a glitch or a setting that I'm not familiar with.
    I burned the file in toast.
    Thanks.

    I checked the Bit Rate which only allows 147 minutes. I lowered the bit rate and will see if this solves the time issue.

  • Encore cannot transcode and burn ABC-TV HD mpeg2 converted broadcasts to Blu-ray

    I have not been able to transcode and burn a Blu-ray with ABC-TV HD broadcasts at the correct frame rate.  There doesn't seem to be an option in Encore CS3 that allows a new project at 1280 x 720 at 30 fps.  The closest I can get is 24fps and then the resulting video looks like an HD kinescope with a film look without smooth full motion.  If I create the disc at full HD 1980 x 1024 at 60 fps then the video is in slow motion.  Does anybody have any suggestions for a fix in Encore or another software that can transcode HD mpeg2 at 1280 x 720 @ 30fps?

    From the FAQ Section, here are the Encore supported BD formats.
    Good luck,

  • 1080p 50 footage to Blu ray appears to convert to either 1080p 25 or 720p 50 is Share FCPX  or Compressor

    Has anyone been able to burn 1080p 50 footage to Blu ray, I can only seem to create a file of 1080p 25 or 720p 50 in either FCPX or Compressor 4 as the 50 option is greyed out in 1080p. As far as I can tell most blu ray players can handle AVCHD 1080p 50, even after the latest upgrades this still does not work. The footage is on the time line and project properties are correct.

    wrong assumption.
    'Disks' (BR/DVD) are completely different encoded than the stuff in your timeline.
    To keep things simple, the rule is:
    length matters, not size.
    A single-layer DVD with maximum quality settings fits ~60min of video.
    And, due to standards, is always SDef.
    Same disk fits ~20min of HDef in a sort of BluRay-standard = you can burn a BluRay-structure onto DVD-r ... not fully compatible, but for 'quick'n dirty'.
    Same DVD-r fits only a minute as 'data' from your timeline, which probably is encoded in proRes = ~40GBs/h ......
    forget size ........ think of hh:min:sec

  • Converting NTSC DVD to Blu-ray or PAL DVD

    Why doesn't Encore allow me to change a DVD project to a Blu-ray project with the ability to choose the frame size and rate, or to change an NTSC DVD to a PAL DVD? It looks like the option is there, but they are grayed out.
    I exported my Premier Pro CS3 project for NTSC DVD, PAL DVD and Blu-ray, hoping to simply change to Encore CS3 project type, and then replace the assets with the appropriate file/format exported from Premier.

    >Maybe worth a feature request for CS5?
    God in heaven - NO!
    As Joe just pointed out, these are 2 completely different TV standards, running on different frame rates at different resolutions.
    The results of attempting this "on the fly" with menus etc would very closely resemble a dogs dinner.
    >I would therefore guess that you are stuck with copying the menus and other such assets into a new Encore project for each output format.
    That won't work.
    NTSC is 720x480, PAL is 720x576. They have different PAR as well.
    If compliance is what you need, then design your menus in Square Pixels at 720 x 540, and resize the image (in PS) to the required TV standard before importing into Encore. 16/9 is worse, as you need to use different designs for each TV standard. There are no short-cuts.
    Asset preparation should be done

    @Chris:
    I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
    I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
    of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

  • PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

    When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
    I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
    Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
    I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
    I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
    So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
    1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
    2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
    3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
    So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
    If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.
