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,

How to burn full hd clips onto dvd-r with Blu-ray burner to playback on a set top Blu-ray player?

hello,
Blu-ray media is still expensive for exporting of small HD projects.
If i have a Blu-ray burner,
can i burn BD exports onto DVD-r's (4.7Gb)
and play them in a set top Blu-ray player?
aka: Does a DVD-r accept a 'blue laser'?
(Menus at this point are not necessary)
Mostly i am wanting to burn 3-4 minute music videos onto DVD-r discs
in full HD Blu-ray without having to use an expensive Blu-ray disc each time.
thanks

hello,
at this time the answer is yes
they are called BD5 and BD9 discs
the BD5 is a single layer DVD-r disc that holds BDMV
the BD9 is a dual layer DVD-r disc that holds BDMV
now i'm trying to see if Encore CS5 burns BD5/BD9 discs?
thanks,

PRE9 - burn old non HD video (VHS/8mm) to blu ray to take avantage of blu ray capacity?

I've got a lot of old VHS and 8mm video I'm burning to DVDs using pre9. I'm creating tons of DVDs in the process. Since blu rays have much more capacity than a DVD, is it possible to use pre9 to burn the old videos to blu ray as non HD and fit many hours on each blu ray?

You could certainly burn the VIDEO_TS folders from each DVD as a data folder. Software Players should be fine with that, but I'm not sure about hardware players. You would probably find that some BR players will allow you to select from various folders, other players won't.

JVC Everio HD and PRE9 - Optimal Settings to Blu-ray burn

I have a new GZ-HM550 (AVCHD 1920x1080/60i and have really been struggling with finding an NLE that I like. I have plenty of computer (Dell Vostro, quad core, 4GB RAM, XP Pro, blu-ray burner) that I use for my photography business. I've tried Pinnacle Studio (sucks - poor output), and now PRE9 and I'm not confident I'm doing it right because I can't get blu-rays to author properly - just won't play on the deck. The only program I've found that works is the one that shipped with the JVC, and it's very limited in creativity.
I Adobe Creative Suite CS4 on the machine, but didn't think to buy CS4 Premiere when I bought everything else. CS5 Premiere would work, but only supports 64bit op systems and for now I need to stick with XP for other reasons - so I'm looking for a NLE that will work with these very large .mts files I was hoping that PRE9 would be it, but so far I don't think so, everything seems to take forever, and it looks like it's transcoding when it burns to Blu-Ray - which I wouldn't think it should need to.
Any guidance or advice on how to set up project and share options to get high quality output with this combination? Desired projects will be wedding and event videos with relatively simple transitions and menu's but in highest possible quality to blu-ray disc

Welcome to the forum.
There are only two formats allowed on BD, HD MPEG-2, and BD-compliant H.264. Though the AVCHD is a sub-set of H.264, it is not quite the same as the BD-compliant H.264, so one will need to Transcode for BD authoring.
One thing that I am not sure of (don't have PrE 9, so I cannot check), is whether PrE offers a choice of BD format. Others will be able to tell you though.
Also, just as with DVD, I strongly recommend using the best quality blank media, when doing BD. The quality and playability will be much higher. Verbatim is about as good as it gets. Memorex is about as bad as it gets. Store brands, and many others, are nearly as bad as Memorex. What brand of blank media have you been testing on?
Good luck,

What is the best way to burn to disk in Encore?? (without using the Blu-ray option)

I am trying to put together a video for my sister (who lives in the UK) of her wedding, that she can watch on her dvd/blu-ray player as a movie with scenes and menus. So, initally, I am using Encore to create menus/scenes and prior to this, used premiere pro to edit sequences and chop up/edit the video. I realise that while i am in premiere pro, I can queue it up and have the option to change the format of my files to AVI, MPEG, H.264 etc to maximise the best quality. I then take that file (or files) and bring them into encore and begin creating my scenes and menus.
Once i am happy with the final result, I then aim to burn this to a disc where i can then send it to her so that she and her newly wed hubby can invite their friends/family around to their place and remember that fabulous day together. Where i am getting stuck is when it comes to burning that file using encore as it only offers to build the project for DVD or Blu-ray. Since i dont have a blu-ray burner, it seems that my only option is to select DVD. Obviously DVD is SD and the resolution for this is 720*480. This doesnt work for me, because once i burn it to dvd, i lose almost half the quality of the original video. I have a few questions here that hopefuly someone can help me with:
1. Whats the point of encoding the timeline in premiere pro to a really high quality file such as H.264 if encore only offers DVD, Blu-ray or Flash? (I mean, why have this if you only have a dvd burner?)
2. Since i dont have a blu-ray burner, is there another way around taking my high res movie and putting it onto a DVD without loss of quality?
3. Is there any other possible way (or settings to use) before burning it to a dvd that i could tweak to avaoid loss of quality?
4. Should i perhaps be using some other way, rather than trying to create an ISO file in encore that will allow me to put this file on a dvd, which will still have a scenes and menu titles? (Meaning, so that it is just not an avi file sitting on a dvd, but rather it actually looks like a movie, with scenes, music in the background etc)?
Feel free to check out the orginial movie i cut up in post production at the link belwo. i did not shoot this vidoe so i am unsure as to what video camera was being used. All i was told, is that it was a fairly modern one (2012 i think). My sister merely sent me all the video and pictures and i just edited it in premiere pro, and now want to send it back to her in a format/way that she can watch it on her television with options to jump to scenes, just like when you watch a dvd movie at home.
Here is the link - https://vimeo.com/71008272
Thanks for your help guys.

No, you can't burn a DVD with HD resolution files and have DVD or similar style navigation.
The solution is to buy a bluray burner.
The workaround is to create an HD version of the files in Premiere, but for the future. In the meantime, export MPEG2-DVD from Premiere, and use those in Encore for this project. During the export from Premiere is where you downrez and lose quality. Your sister should play this back on a player that supports upscaling.

Why does it take CS4 Encore 2 days to transcode Blu-ray h.264 High Def

I have been trying to create a Blu-ray disc for Days by adobe dynamic link from Adobe Premiere Pro. I have no problems with creating a DVD. I only have problems when I try sending over 1080i High Definition footage instead of Standard Definition. I was able to create a successful Blu-ray with only 53 minutes of footage, but now I am trying a fully edited video with Titles and Transitions and the length of video is somewhere in the area of an 1hour and 54 minutes and it has been trancoding for over a 24 hour period and still not finished. I have CS4 Master Collection, Windows Vista 64X bit, i-7 processor at 2.66 and 6 gig of memory Hard-drive external 7200 RPM 1.5TB Seagate and 2 Internal Harddrives 750 G and 1TB. I am curious if anyone else has experienced this problem when sending footage over with adobe dynamic link directly to Encore??? When I use the Media Encoder by itself from Premiere it only takes about 6 hours to render 1 hour and 53 minutes of Video into the H.264 Blu-ray format. I am racking my brains to understand why. Also it seems that it Transcoded about half within 5 hours and has seemed to have considerably slowed down since. Please anyone with any suggestions would be very helpful. Also my project shows in the build as being 13.42GB and I it is transcoding in the H.264 Blu-ray format.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunatley I have tried the idea of transcoding the footage and exportig to encore by importing assets and it freezes and Encore hangs there without any response. I think I have lost the last hair in my head trying to figure this out. I am not sure if the imported file is too large for Encore to import as the file is almost 14G but it is very frustrating. I was thinking of going to CS5 but I wanted to up-grade to Windows 7 and have been hearing a lot of issues with CS5 running correctly, so I am waiting till they get all the bugs worked out with that. Also I was curious in CS5 is Encore a true 64 bit program now along with the Media Encoder and Encore or is it just Premiere Pro that is 64 bit? This is one of the reasons I had moved from CS3 to CS4 is because I thought the entire CS4 Master collection was 64 bit only to find out it was just Photoshop. It did work out some issues with Flash that I was having as well as Acrobat, but I want true 64 bit rendering. Please let me know Thanks again. Joe

Any idea why Encore keeps telling me to insert Blu-ray media, and click OK. - over and over?

Hi Everyone,
I'm really new to Adobe Premiere and Encore. I finally learned about Cineform Neoscene and was able to turn my Canon 5 D MK II files into something usable. I've just made my first documentary (Fiji Floods - 2009) - somewhat amateurish but not bad for a first effort.
So here's my problem. I successfully made a Blu-ray disk which had chapters and then cut a second version in which I deleted a few scenes - this was minus the chapter links - but burned okay. I then tried to burn a third Blu-ray of version 2 with the Menu and Chapter links. No go. I keep getting the message "Please insert Blu-ray media, close the tray, and click OK." - over and over.
So I thought I'd side-step Encore by burning an image file and using my Cyberlink software to copy that onto Blu-ray. Cyberlink detected something on my supposedly clean disks (which I had tried to write to using Encore) but copied the image anyway. It copied "okay" but gave me the message "failed to close". I can play this version on my computer using Cyberlink but not on my Samsunbg Blu-ray connected to my widescreen TV.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? Should I go buy fresh Blu-ray and hope for better success?
Cheers,
Paddy Ryan

CRASH COURSE NEEDED in Authoring, encoding and burning BlueRay...

can, will my G5 running FCS1 Auther, encode and burn blueray with a Lacie 301115u Blu Ray D2 Usb2 Fw Burner?

If you can live with the idea of working outside the +Final Cut Pro+ - +DVD Studio Pro+ environment, you might want to take a look at +Roxio Toast Titanium 9+. This (very affordable) software allows you to encode and burn on Blu-Ray DVDs, provided you meet the minimum system requirements (which shouldn't be a problem, since I could run Toast with my old G4 Quickslver).
However, it seems the authoring possibilities are much more limited than with +DVD Studio Pro+. So if you're into very personalized and/or animated menus, than Toast probably won't be your cup of tea.
I'm currently thinking about using Toast to burn a short film shot in HD on Blu-Ray DVDs. The only thing that got me pondering about this decision is the software's lack of advanced authoring capabilities. This is a family application after all, not a pro software! But its affordable price is more into my wallet's liking, so...
Other than that, and as far as I understand, all you need to do to encode and burn BR DVDs with +Toast 9+ is to take your QuickTime HD (or DVCPRO HD, or else) movie and drop it into the application before choosing the regular options for burning: choosing one of the predesigned menu template, some menu options, the video format, the image size and compression level, etc.
Most Blu-Ray authoring software I checked seems to function roughly the same way: drop in your QT-AVI-whatever-codec movie, select options and burn. The main difference between most softwares seems to be the level of control you have over the encoding and authoring possibilities...
So maybe +Toast Titanium 9+ is worth a look, especially if you need your BR DVD ASAP.

CS6 Error Message When Burning a Blu Ray Project to DVD

Hi,
I'm trying to burn a Blu Ray project to DVD and I'm getting this message when I try to build the project:
The project is an excerpt from a larger one and contains only 2 video files and no menus. However it's particularly worrying because the project from which this is an excerpt is large and complex. I have created it as a Blu Ray project but my final deliverable is DVD. I really don't want to have to rebuild as a DVD project because it took half a day to link up all of the menus and chapters.
Is there something I need to do in my encode settings?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply John.
It's extremely frustrating that this is the case. I'd have started with a DVD project in the first place had I not read this: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/building-finished-project.html , specifically the following excerpt:
"You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format."
Reading that gave me the confidence to go ahead and build as a Blu Ray. I now have to find another half day to rebuild the project as a DVD.
Thanks again for the information.

Framerate problem after burning PAL Blu-ray

Hi folks, bit of a rookie here. Usually try to work my way around things but this is a new area for me and I'm a little stumped!
Basically I'm using Encore CS5 to burn a Blu-ray from footage rendered from Final Cut. The footage is from a Sony HDV camera that records 1440x1080 50i. After the transcoding and burning was succesful I found that while looking good the footage was playing at 50fps on both a PS3 and a Panasonic player. I've tried leaving the transcoding settings on automatic and setting them manually to 1440x1080i 25 High Quality MPEG-2, both times the framerate was running at 50fps. So am I missing something obvious here to get the Blu-ray to playback at 25fps? Thanks in advance for any contributions!

50i is still 25 fps
but if you want proper 25p you should upscale your material to 1920x1080 25p, and be shure the setting is no fields (progressive scan)
Good luck

"Could not create ac3" error when burning Blu-ray

I've spent the last week designing a Blu-ray in Encore CS5. Upon burning, I was given the error message "Cannot create '_sessionfiles_Dsf_session_1_audio.ac3", and the burn failed (after going for seven hours). I really don't even know where to begin with this. The Blu-ray is about 80% full (20 GB) and includes multiple timelines and several menus (one of which has audio). No pop-ups. It should be a fairly straightforward project. However, it's given me problem after problem and has taken way too much time. Can anyone offer insight before I spend another week tracking down the problem? Thanks.

In the last few days, things have gone from bad to great and back to bad, and it's been non-stop work. I freed up a ton of space on the computer and backed it up. Then the computer gave me a kernel panic, which happened so often that I had to restore the whole computer. I don't know if that's related to the Encore issue. Then I tried to burn again, and it seemed to be working until it gave me an error message that said "Blu-ray Error: 'device error', code '3', Note: ". So I looked around online and decided to export as an ISO disc image file. That worked fine. Then I tried burning a Blu-ray using third-party software, which failed halfway through. Next I tried burning using Disc Utility. It got all the way to the end and said "Could not verify" and failed. I tried playing it in my Blu-ray player anyway. For the first time, it actually worked. The movie and the Scene Selection menu work fine. But when I try to go to Special Features, nothing happens. The Blu-ray is supposed to go to the Special Features menu at the end of the main movie, but it just goes to a black screen after that and locks up. Now I'm really lost. Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Saving transcoded H264 Blu ray files?

I'm transcoding from a 1080 25i QT file to H264 for Blu ray and I'm keen to save the transcoded file for other purposes... Not only so I can re-use it in Encore (without having to re-encode) but also so I can create a .TS file (H264 mpeg4 & AC3) for use on a PS3 hard-drive.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for that! But I'm still confused as to what the Encore Readme document means when it says "Encore doesn't support chapter play lists in Blu ray"???
I think key to understanding what that means is to also understand what a chapter playlist is, and how it is different than a timeline.
A chapter playlist is a mechanism that allows the author (that's you) to create a customized list of one or more chapters from a single timeline to be played back by the user. So it can contain just one chapter from the parent timeline, or a few consecutive chapters from this timeline, or every other chapter from this timeline, etc. - fully customizable by the author.
A timeline contains at least one chapter, and in general plays from whichever chapter the user enters from to the end of the timeline, e.g., if there are 10 chapters and the user enters at chapter 3 from a menu, the timeline will play from the beginning of chapter 3 to the end of chapter 10.
If you now better understand the difference between the two mechanisms, then it becomes clearer: DVDs can use chapter playlists and BDs cannot.

CS4 - Adobe Media Encoder - Encore - H.264 Blu-ray

As many folks are aware, Encore's transcoding can sometimes be less than optimal. I played with the AME settings and with the help of other folks on these and other forums finally determined all the right settings so that Encore would treat my DVD quality videos as native and not attempt to transcode them.
I am now trying my hand at Blu-Ray and am running into similar problems but so far I have not really found any answers that have worked. Based on my research, the following settings should work:
AME
Format: H.264 Blu-ray
_Video_
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Dimensions: 1920x1080
Frame Rame: 23.976
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
Profile: High
Level: 4.1
_Bitrate Settings
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass
Target Bitrate: 18
Max Bitrate: 22
_Audio_
I have Multiplexing disabled because I am using DD 5.1 encoding and for DVD quality, I learned that Multiplexing is a no-no to prevent Encore from trying to transcode things. I assume the same thing applies to Blu-Ray so I'm not really worried about the Audio.
Encore
_Project Settings_
Authoring Mode: Blu-ray
_Settings
Television Standard: NTSC
Codec: H.265
Dimensions: 1920x1080
Frame Rate: 23.976
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
_Automatic Transcoding
Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate: 25.0 Mbps
_Audio Transcoding
Audio Transcoding Scheme: Dolby Digital
I have tried a number of other settings around these (including using 29.97 frame rate to match my source), but after 4 days of trying different things with AME, I am completely stumped. What I am primarily looking for is someone to be kind enough to post their settings, in the level of detail above, that allow them to import an asset into Encore so that it doesn't want to transcode the video.
I know there are other tools out there that can do these things, but I paid my $ for Adobe Mastersuite so that it would do all these things for me. If at all possible, I would really like to stick with just these tools.
I am not sure if it matters, but my source is a Panasonic HDC-TM700 set to record in 1080p30 (I don't use their proprietary 60 frame format). I have successfully downconverted this source with AME to DVD quality. I have also successfully outputted from AME to 1080p that was uploadable to Youtube. Again, I'm not sure that it matters other than I can make useable video from my source. Here are the properties of the video according to Premiere:
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 2.6 GB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - 6 channels
Total Duration: 00;22;23;25
Average Data Rate: 2.0 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
My actual clip is about 6min, but my intention would be to use clips of up to an hour in length.
Oh, I'm not sure if it is clear from my above information, but I am not using Adobe Dynamic Link. I'm not sure if that is where my problem lies, but my one attempt to use it did not produce the results I was looking for either.
Thanks in advance for your time and for making it this far into my post
-Jay

Well, that's a bit of a disappointment. I have to imagine most Adobe users are bald due to Adobe providing settings/output options that it's own software doesn't like. I really don't understand the sense of that.
In any event, I attempted to use:
Format: H.264 Blu-ray
Preset: HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality
And Encore still wants to transcode the video. It also wanted to transcode the audio that the format put out (PCM audio). I tried messing with some of the settings in Field Order, Profile, and Level and no love all around. I also tried one of the 1440 formats and no love there.
Does anyone truly have this working natively or am I just chasing my own tale? It really should not be this hard to get Premiere to output something that Encore will use without difficulty.
