"Create BluRay Disc - Fails at end"

I don't want to burn a BlueRay disc just yet, I just want to create the files which I will load into an authoring app on another platform.
When I use the compressor BluRay Disc template it appears that everything worked until the very end when Comprssor complains that another application is using my removable disc drive. I can only hit cancel. It does leave a .H264 file that is exactly 3gb behind though. I haven't tried to test that file.
What are the encode settings for the BluRay H.264 job so I can manually create my own template that doesn't attempt to burn the file?

Sadly, no change after updating v10.8.5(combo). A normal boot with an attempt to "buy book" from iPhoto, gets almost to the end of the upload and then gives me the following error:
In Safe boot, I get to the beginning of the Assembly process and iPhoto crashes. Here is a portion of the problem details:
I compiled my book on Thursday evening, thinking that would be the painstaking part. Purchasing it has become too much of a time consuming adventure! I did call Apple Technical Support last evening and the service agent suggested that I check the Apple Support Community discussions, so thank you for taking a greater interest in my problem.
One other thing I found regarding problems submitting photobook orders is at the bottom of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2516. An excerpt from this webpage is below, but I can't find the "NetServices" entry in my Keychain Access window to try this fix. Do you think this is a piece to my puzzle or simply old info as it was last modified on May 24, 2012?
Again, I was able to order a photocard (cancelled the order within 90 minute window) as a test, so I don't believe I have an account problem.
excerpt:
If you are using iPhoto '08 or iPhoto '09 and are unable to submit your order after following the steps above, please follow these steps to reset your Keychain:
Quit iPhoto.
From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
If you are unsuccessful with submitting your order, please contact Apple Technical Support.

Problems creating BluRay discs with AME Presets / Encore

Bill Hunt has kindly suggested I post this 'issue' here in Encore Forum as well as Premiere CS4.
Apologies for the rather lengthy description - just to illustrate the steps I have been through !.
Any input welcome :-)

Compressor: send mutiple jobs to same BluRay disc?

I've made a few AVCHD discs using the new Compressor, but always with one job in the batch at a time. Is it possible to add other jobs to the same batch, each with the "Create BluRay disc" job action, and have them all burn to the same disc? Or will Compressor attempt to burn each one to it's own disc?
JVK

You can put as many jobs in Compressor at once as you want. Only one per Blu Ray, though.
I highly recommend getting Bruce Nazarian's "Fast Path To Blu Ray For The Mac" book. Very inexpensive, will clear the whole Blu Ray thing up for you.

try this...
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

Unable to create recovery disc, after burn failed to verify

I had tried thrice to create recovery disc in DVD but every time MSG comeing some error is there unable to verify
Kindly Help

Recovery partition is meant to be used on a working system, it can however be used in a different manner but is difficult for most people unless you are a computer geek of sorts.
See this thread on how someone used the files from the restore partition to recover to a new hard drive, you would need another working Windows PC to do this.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/Another-System-Restore-question/m-p/1945...
If you call HP on the phone they can verify for sure if they have the recovery discs or not.
If they do not, you can purchase them here

Hp g5000 system recovery disc fails 1002

Hi
My frends daughter took the hp laptop to america and subsequently the hard disc failed so with no recovery disc she went to a repair center and had a new hard disc fitted.
i ordered the system recovery disc from best2serve but the laptop would not boot from it?
I tried the disc in my HP Desktop and it worked fine so DVD player is suspect also.
I then tried my Dell Vista recovery disc from my C521 desktop and that worked fine.
If i then mounted the recovery disc it looked fine and i could read all the contents Strange Just cant boot from it.
Anyway downloaded the HP Bios update in case that would fix it (no good still would not boot)
so went back to my Desktop and built a USB Bootable flash drive with contents of Recovery disc
It booted fine and started recovery Manager selected rebuild Hard disc (cant remember exact words)
and shortly after failed error 1002 contact HP
have searched error 1002 and WoW wish i had just not wasted time buying the recovery disc as endless calls all say They do not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps It also destroyed the working Dell Vista that was on
can anyone suggest where to start
1) to Install Genuine HP recovery image from recovery disc (with suspect dvd)
2) get money back if possible
3) ps AS USUAL OUT OF WARRANTY
This question was solved.

More on this saga,
the 120 gig drive replaced by 250 gig after first disk failed.
Purchased another dvd drive as could nor read HP recovery dvd (neither would work)
the second drive has exactly the same problem it would not read the dvd-r or dvd+r copies that I had created.
Wasted my money on problem that did not exist
( I should have known that XP and Dell Vista disks worked o/k so problem is with the Bios Firmware for this drive)
This time I used a USB Flash copy of Windows 7 Update DVD and removed all partitions leaving a completely unformatted disk.
Then rebuilt the USB flash drive this time with HP Recovery disk and started the recovery process. (the 1002 must mean I want a empty disk)
As I speak it has been going for over 2 hours with FBI gui manager doing bits of updating and rebooting.
one post says it will take 3 hours and 25 reboots ( i have lost count)
By Chance HP rang to say how was it going with replacement DVD that was sent (I bet he wished he had not rung he spent over 1 hour waiting with not much help as to what was expected to happen)
Told him about not being able to read DVD (solution 5 year old PC may not be able to read it!!!!!!!!!)
any way Flash usb copy of DVD does work if that help anyone.
One of the reboots showed PC Angel? something about recovery but as FBI GUI minimised I did nothing (dissapeared after next reboot)
Then went into recovery Manager and said creating recovery please wait (another 1/2 hour)
small problem ends with recovery manager said i wanted to recover and seems to have restarted the whole process again!!!!!
urgh
Will update if the recovery fails or works so it may benefit all

Problem creating Bluray

I am creating my first bluray for a tv series of 6 half hr episodes.
I have made the DVDs in the past in DVDSP & created the blueray in Encore to have it match the design of the DVD.
I am having 2 problems.
#1. I have one menu that has 7 buttons - play all, & buttons to play episodes 1,2,3,4,5,6
      I have tried the info in this article, but it doesnt quite work for me.
      http://library.creativecow.net/articles/kurkoski_tim/play_all.php
      It enables the play all button to work & play through all 6 shows that way, but the overrides do not link properly for some reason.
      I have set them to override to the next menu button.
      ex. if you hit the play ep 1 button it will play the show, but at the end i want it to return to the main menu with the button for ep 02 highlighted.
      what it does is it goes to the start of ep 02 & begins playback (same result as what the "play all" button leads to).
      is inconsistent as well as sometimes when it gets to the end of ep # 3 it will go back to the main menu, but highlight the button for ep 6.
      the next time i try it it will keep playing the video for the next show, or highlight a different button on the main menu.
#2. I have transcoded the final QTs (1920 X 1080p, 23.98 fps, ProRes HQ) in apple's compressor.
      I imported those mpeg2 files into encore & in properties set it to not transcode.
      When i burn a disc it says the build is approx 16GB of media & am burning to a 25 GB re-writeable bluray disc.
      Yet when I burn a test it transcodes the footage. Then the next time i open the project up it tells me the media for the project is 300 mb.
      What is going on here?

Ok, I am just basing this on my experience with burning DVDs in DVDSP.
I have never had a burn take more than 10 min - single or dual layer.
Here my burn times for this blueray have been 6 hrs, 3 hrs, and the last one was 2 hrs.
I am asking, because the company I am working for wants 100 bluerays burned once the design is approved.
They are expecting to have these done over a few days, and not a month or two.
You mention it depends on a myriad of factors, but I assume you burn them.
Can you give me an exaple of what time it takes for you?
ex for the last burn was 2 hrs with original media 1920 X 1080p, ProRes HQ, 23.98 fps, converted to H264 for bluray & AC3 files in compressor
Thanks again Jim.

Comparing video quality of AVCHD BluRay discs using Final Cut Pro Share vs Compressor

Up front, I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to using Final Cut Studio 3 and would appreciate some feedback from the Apple forum experts.
I have spent a lot of time trying to determine how to achieve an optimum group of Compressor 3.5.2 settings so that the playback video quality of an AVCHD BluRay disc is equal to or better than one created by using the simpler auto settings of FCPro Share, version 7.0.2.
When using Compressor’s auto/default maximum settings, I experienced the same error message reported in:
Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12073794#12073794
I have since made some Compressor AVCHD Discs with smaller bit rate settings and compared video quality with a single FCP Share AVCHD disc. Both seem to be equal in providing a very good video when viewed on my new Panasonic DMP BDT 310 BluRay player. However, the Compressor AVCHD discs show some motion artifacts not present with the FCPro Share version, especially when scrolling text or when objects are moving through the field of view, and visible artifacts are seen from a stationary chain link fence and other lattice work in the background of the video sample.
My sample video used for the comparisons between Compressor and FCP Share discs is a 21 minute duration home movie, originally captured from a mini DV, Canon HV30 1080i camcorder using ProRes HQ encoding(1440x1080), and dragged into FC Pro 7.0.2 timeline where 10 chapter markers have been inserted.
To create an AVCHD disc using FCPro Share, Markers are used to set the IN and OUT points, Select IN to OUT from the timeline, pull down File Menu Share, Select Create BluRay from options in pop out Share pane, and designate output device along with picture files for Background, Logo, and Title options. When these are completed, click on Export. My 21-minute video required almost two hours for encoding including about 10 minutes for burning. This accomplished on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
To prepare this same 21-minute video for use with Compressor, I again Select IN to Out from the FCPro timeline, but this time use File Export as a QuickTime Self Contained movie including Chapter markers. Then Open Compressor, choose Create BluRay from Template pane, right click on the down arrow in the Batch window and load the QT self contained movie file. From there I went to the Inspector window and tried various combinations of bit rate settings along with Frame Encoder options such as Better or Best motion parameter controls.
I have tried the following combinations of Bit rate settings along with varying Frame Encoder controls and burned an AVCHD disc for each example:
Example A
Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings OFF. Approximately 4 hours to encode although the time remaining estimator indicated a larger value of ~7 hours; not an accurate estimator at all.
Example B
Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motionadaptive)” settings. Approximately 4 hours to encode, not the 13 hours that were estimated.
Conclusion: Comparing A & B Compressor versions, Disc B showed some improvements in reducing motion artifacts over Disc A.
Example C
Compressor set to 13 Mbps Average and 15 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. DeInterlace was checked. Unknown hours to encode; about 8 hours done overnight..
Conclusion: Disc C showed some minor improvements reducing motion artifacts over Disc B
Example D
Compressor Auto settings,i.e., 15 Mbps Average and 17 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. Approximately 12 hours to encode, done overnight. Inserted disc next morning after the overnight encoding was completed, and a few minutes later an error message pane appeared that the maximum bit rate had been exceeded. This message was consistent with the Apple posted thread referenced above. Unfortunately the long overnight encoding was wasted.
It seemed to me that the best Compressor settings for suppressing the motion artifacts were displayed by the disc burned in Example C, i.e., 13/15 Ave/Max Mbps with“Better” Motion settings in the Frame Encoder.
However, when this disc was compared to the AVCHD Disc burned using the FCPro Share, the latter still seemed much better. I do not know what the auto bit rate values are as set in FC Pro, but for me, the quality is quite good AND the motion artifacts are significantly reduced, especially evident with the scrolling text.
Sorry about this long post, but I thought the detail would be necessary for the experts, and maybe helpful to others trying to get started in this BluRay arena. Did I misuse Compressor? I think the sample video exported as a self contained QT movie was the right thing to do? Not sure where I went wrong.
Thanks in advance for Feedback and Recommendations. For now, I’m going to stay with the simpler process using Final Cut Pro Share function.
BoBo

Thank You, Brad, for responding; glad to hear I'm not the only one having similar Compressor issues.
You may have hit on something. Perhaps Compressor's use of H.264 encoding was the reason for my motion artifacts? And perhaps Final Cut Pro Share retains the 1440x1080 quality as it burns the AVCHD BluRay disc?
I had Toast 10 for less than 30 days a couple of years ago, and was lucky to get a refund.
What version of Toast do you have? Wondering if new Toast 11 has improved previous bugs, especially upgrading its Chapter text, pictures, music. I would go back to Toast if it came close to mirroring DVD Studio Pro, or even iDVD capabilities.
Thanks,
BoBo

Creating a disc image from an iso file

I have a samsung Bluray player that requires and update. I downloaded the file (which is a zip), then expanded it. It is an iso file. I need to create a disc image (not a simple burn to a cd) in order to update my samsung player. How do I do that? Disc Utility?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The ISO file is on my desktop. I didn't understand how to get it to show in DU, but when I hit BURN, a navigation window opens...thank you.

I tunes: I am using version 12 of I tunes. Ever since downloading it I get the message when trying to burn a playlist it says, The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
I uninstalled V-12 and then reinstalled it. This enabled me to burn a disc again but after a couple of tries I received the same error message again. Has Apple put out a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of?
Thanks.

Hi rossfrombluffton,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides some general things to consider when burning a disc with iTunes. I would also try burning a music CD and a data disc from a different application in the Windows OS and trying a different brand CD just to confirm the issue is not with the optical drive.
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-ae/HT203173
Find out what to do if you can't burn an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. Sometimes an audio disc may not burn as expected. Here are some things to check.
Update iTunes
Download and install the latest version of iTunes for Windows.Check for unauthorized songs
iTunes will stop burning a disc if you purchased one or more of the songs in a playlist from the iTunes Store and the songs aren't authorized to play on your computer. This message should appear: "Some of the files can not be burned to an audio CD. Do you still want to burn the remainder of this playlist? For more information on why some files can not be burned, click below."
To find out which songs aren't authorized, play each song in the playlist. Songs that play are authorized. Songs that don't play aren't authorized. You'll be asked to authorize any unauthorized songs.Make sure your playlist will fit on a single CD
If there are too many songs in a playlist to fit on a single CD, iTunes should ask if you want to burn multiple discs or cancel the burn. This message should appear: "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete."
If you click the Audio CDs button, the burn will continue and you'll be asked to insert blank CDs until the playlist is completely burned. If you click cancel, the burn will be canceled.
To make the playlist shorter so that it will fit on a single CD, select a song to remove from the playlist and choose Edit > Clear. Repeat this step until the duration of the playlist is between 60 and 80 minutes. The duration appears at the top of the playlist window. Most CD-R discs can hold 60 to 80 minutes of music.
Check how many times you've burned the playlist
An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be burned no more than seven times.Additional steps and submitting feedback

VPN connection created with CMAK fails to update routing table on Windows 8.1 with error 8000ffff

When my clients connect their CMAK-created VPN, it fails to run the script to set their routing table with the following error:
Custom script (to update your routing table) failed (8000ffff)
My objective is to create a VPN connection with split tunneling - does not use the VPN connection as the client's default gateway.
All my clients are on Windows 8.1 64-bit, and are logged in with Administrative privileges
My VPN Clients are on 10.242.2.0/24, my internal network is on 10.172.16.0/24
I want only traffic for 10.172.16.0 to go via the VPN. Everything else should go via the client's internet connection
My Connection Manager Administration Kit profile, was created on Windows 2012 R2 CMAK with the following settings:
"Make this connection the client's default gateway" is UNticked on the IPv4 tab.

+++ End of txt file +++
The txt file is saved in DOS/Windows format (not Unicode or UTF-8 which I've read causes problems)
I've tried everything in lower and upper case in the txt file after reading that the file might be case sensitive

That was it. Thanks, Steven
"By default, the dial-up entry and the VPN entry have Make this connection the default gateway selected.
Leave this default in place, and remove any gateways by using the REMOVE_GATEWAY command in the routing table update file itself."
It seems counter-intuitive to leave
Make this connection the default gateway selected, when I specifically don't want that behaviour, but leaving it selected and using REMOVE_GATEWAY works for me.

The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.

I am trying to burn a cd after upgrading to itunes 12 and this message keeps coming up."The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to." there is no problem with my hardware since I can burn cds using nero. Please help. Thanks

Here is a solution that worked for me!
1. Uninstall iTunes 12
2. Download and install iTunes 11.4
3. Run iTunes 11.4. You will get a message that the library was created by a newer version. Just dismiss the message.
4. Uninstall iTunes 11.4
5. Install iTunes 12.0.1 again. This time disc burning should be working.
(The prior installation of 11.4 fixes the issue)
I hope this works for you as well
Note
My iTunes 12.0.1 installation was a fresh one to start with. I am using the x64 version on Windows 8.1 x64.
