Encore CS3 hangs on "Come for Blue-ray stay for Flash"! Leopard 10.5.2...

I just got my new MacPro running Leopard. Installed CS3 Master Collection. I opened Premiere ok, Photoshop, etc...but when I tried Encore it just hangs on the part that says "Come for Blue-ray stay for Flash"!
I tried to make a dvd out of premiere going to encore it just had the beach ball spinning.
Thanks in advance anyone who can help.
rb.
ps:not sure if this cause an issue but I installed an LG GGW-H20L blue-ray burner(it showed up fine in system profilier as sata device in the 2nd-lower open drive bay...)

An update.
Encore would not launch with the LG GGW-H20L installed in my brand new MacPro. Once I unplugged it it launched Encore CS3. So I do not recommend this blue-ray burner in OSX Leopard.
I'm wondering if the Pioneer BDR-202 would work with MacPro, Leopard 10.5.2, Encore 3.0.2 update.
If anyone has any info please share!

CS3 "Come for the blue-ray stay for the flash" crashing (MY SOLUTION)

Hello everybody,
I had some serious trouble starting up Encore CS3 in WinXP. Seeing the "Come for the blue-ray stay for the flash" -message and then Encore CS3 closing up. As for someone else in the forums, starting Adobe Version Cue before trying to start Encore solved the problem.
Now a year later, I faced the same problem with Vista 64bit and with totally different hardware. For many people unplugging certain USB-drives or devices has solved the problem, but for me it didn´t help, neither in XP nor Vista. I remembered the solution from XP and started up Adobe Bridge CS3, then chose "Version Cue" -> "Start server". This action opens up a browser and asks for server information. I inserted nothing, tried to start Encore CS3 and it worked!
Hope my experiences will help some of you who are struggling with the same problem.

OMG, thanks so much for this solution... I have searched high and low for a solution, and I have also tried reinstalling countless times. My only question is do you have to start that server every time you start up encore? Also do you know what is causing this to happen that you need to start the server?

Encore CS3 Hangs @ Start

I've had to reinstall my programs, after a HD failure. Everything seemed to go well. Yet, when I attempt to start Encore, it hangs when it gets to the "Come for the Blu-Ray, stay for the Flash" message on the splash screen.
It should be noted that Premiere Pro, AfterEffects Professional and Onlocation (all CS3) work normally.
Any assistance provided will be greatly appreciated!

Most unfotunate. I'm not willing to upgrade to CS5, if I can't get CS3 to work...

Batch transcoding for Blu-ray

Hello,
We have many short ~2 minute files with long filenames (so they can cleanly be used to form the chapter descriptions for the disc) organized into folders and, as mentioned in another thread, we are having difficulties preparing these files in advance for Blu-ray processing for Encore so they do not need to be transcoded when we select 4-5 to author a Blu-ray with. I tried to get around this by creating a massive project with all 500 of our files, using Encore CS6 to transcode all of them, then hoped Encore would know it transcoded that same asset in another project when we went to use 5 of those same files in another project. Unfortunately, not only did Encore not automatically detect that it had already transcoded the file for Blu-ray in another project, but when we went to manually locate the file, we saw that Encore truncated all our filenames to 20 characters in the Transcoded folder, followed by "_sessionA_blahbalhablh.m4v". Our filenames are not unique to 20 characters, so many filenames with A, B, C, D, etc suffixes were created and we have no way of telling what file is what. We can't even play the file to check, and we also can't compare the running length as Encore transcodes to elementary streams that can't be played back. Is there anyway to copy the transcoded asset knowledge from one project to the other so we can make use of the 3 days of compute time we appear to have wasted?
I've also looked into using Adobe Media Encoder to do this, but I think I'd need to take our files one folder at a time and run the transcode on them so they didn't get jumbled with the other files. I can't see a way to setup AME so that it handles recursive folders, and I also can't see a way of working with AME through command-line automation so that it can whir away and process one folder of 5-10 files at a time. All I can see is a way for it to turn out a similar output to our failure with getting Encore to transcode the files.
Any ideas on how we can batch-transcode for Blu-ray ahead of time instead of wait for Encore to transcode for every disc we build?

Encore is not long filename friendly, and will cause problems if you exceed an 80 character filename (Including spaces). Odd characters and in some cases excessive path depth can also be issues. The Encore authorcore (sonic based) is old, and just not modern filename friendly.
So I'd rethink the long filenames generally.
Ask your AME question in the AME forum. I do not know whether there is a good option for you or not.
hoped Encore would know it transcoded that same asset in another project when we went to use 5 of those same files in another project.
Encore creates a folder structure for the project, and under the sources/transcodes/ folders, a folder for each asset that is transcoded. As soon as you create a new project, all that is gone, and with it encore's memory for it. You can import those files as assets, but I assume your point is that you can't tell what is what.
We can't even play the file to check, and we also can't compare the running length as Encore transcodes to elementary streams that can't be played back.
The elementary stream is an m2v. You can play these (e.g. with vlc player). But all that would be cumbersome.
Still thinking about this...

Mpeg 2 for Blu-ray audio exports with missing frames at beginning and end.

Im using a Matrox Axio LE system and the Matrox Media encoder to export an Mpeg 2 for blue-ray. My footage is shot in 1280x720p 59.94 drop frame. I have found that after exporting the file from the encoder and bringing it into Encore CS3 that the audio that was exported is a little shorter than the video. Frames are missing at the end of the file.
Because of this my video and audio are way out of sync. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Maybe on the Matrox forums.

Encore CS4 won't go into Blu-ray authoring mode

CS4 running on an HP Z800 with a Windows 7 operating system. I am trying to author my first Blu-ray project. The encode from the timeline went fine. When going into Encore, however, trouble starts. After filling in the new project screen (title, Blu-ray, 1280 x 720, MPEG-2, 59.94 fps) the project window opens up. Everything in the project window is still set for a SD DVD. I change the burner selection to the Blu-ray burner, and then select the Blu-ray option. At that point the little circular blue indicator starts rotating...and continues to do so. I've let it go for as long as five minutes and nothing changes. Then I go into the Task Manager and the entire computer seizes up, causing me to have to shut down manually. What is going on and why won't Encore go into the Blu-ray authoring mode?
Thanks.
Spencer

Ramesh!
Thank you so much...it worked! After installing the pxhelp engine the Blu-ray function within Encore came up and appears to be functional. One more question for you, if you don't mind. As I said in my original post, the program was encoded for Blu-ray directly from the timeline using the Adobe Media Encoder. The resulting file came in at just about 16GB. Once I brought that file into Encore as a timeline, though, it was only 7GB and it was listed as "Untranscoded." Shouldn't an encoded file for Blu-ray function just like an encoded file for a DVD? If not, did I miss a step? Does it have anything to do with the pxhelp file, since the program was encoded before that file was downloaded? Any assistance you can provide here will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Files or Folders needed for blu-ray disc missing !

Hi,
I have Encore CS6. It successfully builds 'blu-ray folder' & 'blu-ray image' without any error. But when I try to create an iso image of the prepared folder using 'Ashampoo Burning Studio' it gives an error message saying that the folder doesn't contain all the files and folders needed for blu-ray. But when tried to do the same for DVD, there is no error. My blu-ray burning drive is broken and I want to check my finished project from my hard drive using Daemon's Tool and VLC or PowerDirector.
Could anybody advise how this can be fixed on Encore CS6. Encore CS5 never had this problem.
Thanks

Tried that as well. The player gave an unrecognized format error.

Mac mini (Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8), Blu-Ray Software for OS X

I recently put together an internal LG Blu-Ray Rewriter into an external enclosure.
Have tested the following disc: CD-ROM/Audio CD/DVD-ROM/DVD-RAM (4.7 & 9.4 GB).
Have NOT test the following disc: BD-R/BD-RE/Blu-Ray movie (waiting for "The Avengers" disc).
Question: Why does NOT Apple have a program/app for the OS? These disc (Blu-Ray) have been out for a number of years.
Apple provides a DVD Player for the OS!
I have found a program/app from a third-party (http://www.macblurayplayer.com/), but this app requires an internet connection to work.
I would rather NOT have to be connected to the internet just to watch a Blu-Ray movie!
Thank You for your time, H & J

As I recall they signed up in 2005 but never implemented blu-ray authoring because of the extra charges.
Yup, that's what Steve Jobs meant by "a bag of hurt". There's multiple owners of different parts of what makes Blu-ray work who all want their individual licensing fees. The owners of these technologies were at one time trying to come up with a unified, much cheaper fee to simplify things. I don't know if they ever did.
For the same reason Roxio adds it as a separate plug-in so they don't have to pay the Blu-Ray Consortium for every sale of Toast, just the plug-in.
Also, "yup". Toast Titanium Pro used to come with the plugin as part of the package, but in version 11, it doesn't matter which version of Toast you buy, you have to purchase the Blu-ray plugin separately.

Menus for Blu-Ray

Can one build chaptering menus that work in Blu-Ray with Encore? I normally have worked with Final Cut X but there is no way to build menus for the Blu-Ray DVD. Thanks
Don

Sorry to explain so poorly. The timeline is the whole DVD. Within it are multiple chapter points to delineate segments of the information. Than, using the Mpeg2 compression file in Apple's DVD Pro, I build the menus with buttons which relate to the chapter points. However, if I select. The compression protocol for Blu-Ray, it seems as tho I cannot make menus which are functional on the Blu-Ray disc.
Another gentleman has answered saying there are many available menus in Encore which can be used for a Blu-Ray disc. I got Adobe Premier's trial. Am assuming that is different than Encore.
Appreciate your help

Dv7-3165dx blu ray issues for past month cant get it to work?

I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem 4 about a month now. When I put a bluray dvd the screen reads "no disk in drive". This message is the same response i get with diffrent players, hp mediasmart, cyberlink power dvd 10, arcsoft, and also with img burn. & a couple of others.

I also ran the microsoft fix it. reads same message no disk in drive. I restored my computer, I updated my mediasmart software, also recoverd it from advance out of the box state, same thing I ran the revo program & reinstalled the mediasmart 3.1, no luck. I also did the regedit troublesoot recommended by microsoft. only to find that I dont have any higher or lower filters to delete. so I closed that up. I ran the cyberlink bluray 3D advisor and it passed, when i run the fix it tool by mats, it reads , disk in drve not found . drive has error but drive is ok, I also tried diskpart by command prompt & it reads no media in drive E: drive not ready. also uninstalled by devise manager no help there. reseated my drive by physically removing thr drive as instructed to the tee, no luck.

Render settings for Blu-Ray in the UK

Hi all,
Bit of a newbie question regarding render settings for Blu-Ray. If I understand correctly, the uk frame rate is 25fps???? And we generally have 1080p TV's etc??? The Blu-ray presets in Media encoder don't offer this and the fact they don't makes me question if I'm not understanding the required settings correctly. ME does offer a 25fps preset but only in 1080i. So, my question is, what should I be rendering to, to then take the rendered file and author it to play on UK blu-ray players. Incidentaly, does anyone have any recommendations on authoring software. I just need to break it down into several seperate categories as well as being able to play the entire movie so the budget is minimal.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm using Mac Blu-rayRipper Pro and iMedia converter as well as Handbrake to get the highest quality transfer from my Blu-ray disks to iTunes and AppleTV. Each disk is a bit of a project as no two are the same in terms of the best method of conversion.
I've put a few details in my blog post on getting Blu-ray to work on my Mac Pro in the UK. Was a bit of an epic journey in the UK as we don't have all the options available in the USA:
http://www.theapplechap.com/TheAppleChap/Blog/Entries/2010/6/20Getting_the_most_out_of_Blu-ray_on_aMac.html
I also posted a short series of articles about getting the best possible movie conversion in iTunes covering subtitles, metadata and SD-HD tagging. May help so here's the link (to the first one, there are 3 in my blog):

Encore CS3 - Hangs While Transcoding.

Hello all,
Thanks for your time reading over this issue I am experiencing with Adobe Encore CS3 (ver 3.01.008).
I have had an intermittent problem with Encore for a long time, involving the transcoding process. The only way I have been able to get over this hurdle is to use a friend's machine for the 'building process' in Encore CS4. But, I have faith that Encore CS3 isn't a waste of a product, and would love to have this issue fixed.
I am currently producing a dual-layer DVD, that will host up to 42 timelines. I can successfully plan the entire project, linking menus to links, links to timelines etc. The only issue I encounter is when I transcode all of my assets before building the DVD disc. I am able to transcode about 80% of my assets successfully - after that - Encore will cease to carry out the transcoding process as it should.
For example, after transcoding about 80% of all the assets, Encore will start transcoding one more asset, transcoding it's video and audio streams, but then ceases to 'import' it back into the project as a transcoded asset. It will simply 'hang' on the 'importing' process. I have tried encoding single untranscoded assets since this issue arose, but each individual, remaining, untranscoded asset will hang (ie, does not show any activity in Task Manager in either CPU usage, or Memory usage) while 'importing' in the transcoding process.
Any help would be hugely appreciated, and I will try to provide you with as much information as possible to assist me.
I am currently running on:
Win7 x64 RC1 (This issue has also happened to me in Vista x64)
Athlon X2 64 3800+ 2.0Ghz
2GB DDR400 << (I understand this is a very little amount of memory in comparison to what most users will have, but I have been able to create other large Encore CS3 projects in the past just fine. I believe that my issue as stated above is not caused by my hardware configuration)
Four HDDs, each with at least 200GB free on each
No, I do not have Nero on my machine, and any previous installations have been clean-sweeped off the machine using Nero's CleanSweep tool.
I am also running Encore CS3 in administrator mode.
Cheers, thanks again for your time.
- Andrew

Andrew,
Though it sounds too late to help with Encore, there are a couple of things to think about. That 80% Transcoding issue throws up a few possibilities to me:
1.) heat buildup in the CPU - Transcoding is very CPU intensive
2.) power supply not up to the task, or going bad
3.) HDD filling up to a critical point - that slowdown and then hang could be a sign of this, as HDD's loose a good deal of their efficiency near the 75% full point, and will shut down, as 100% is approached.
4.) something in the Project at about that point?
5.) something else entirely
Good luck, and happy authoring, regardless of which program you use.

Which H.264 settings for Blu ray with mixed assets

Hi,
I am still learning with the different options that I can chose in Encore for transcoding an asset but I am not sure what to chose.
I created a project in PP which uses the following formats 1080i/25,1080i/50, 720p/23,976 and 1080p/25.
the main scenes in PP is in 1080i/25. Most clips are documenting sports or moving objects.
If I use the automatic transcoding setting in Encore, it will be transcoded in 1080i/25 but is this really good? Although I am in a PAL region I think, for Blu Ray, I could also use NTSC settings like 1080p/25.
What shall I do?
Thanks

Create blu-ray menu for concert from scratch

Hi all,
I downloaded the Premiere Elements 11 trial yesterday and am evaluating it for purchase.
My first project is a blu-ray of a concert. I am on Windows 7 64bit.
Project settings are:
AVCHD 720p square pixel
1280x720
29.97fps
30fps drop-frame timecode
I want to create a simple menu for blu-ray (ie an HD menu) that has a still background and simple text buttons. The top menu would just have "play concert" and "track selection" text only buttons. The "track selection" button would lead to a page with all the track names as buttons that link to the scene markers for each track. That's it.
I only see pre-installed templates and none of them have the "HD" designation in the top right hand corner. How do I go about achieving the menu that I want?
Thanks, Ben

Along with Steve's suggestions, one can customize the existing PrE Menu Sets, just relying on the "background" Menu Set structure, and adding Still Images, plus doing limited customization to the Text, etc.
To create PrE Menu Sets (like those on Muvipix), one needs two things:
Photoshop (Photoshop Elements has one limitation - it cannot create Layer Sets, unless that has been added to PSE, as of version 11), and then knowledge of what goes into a PrE Menu Set. Because much of the authoring functions in PrE are semi-automatic, the Menu Sets are very involved. Though I create Menus for Adobe Encore, from scratch in Photoshop, I still need one of the Library PrE Menu Sets handy, to get all of those semi-automatic conventions in front of me - lot of stuff required there.
If you cannot customize an existing PrE Menu Set, or find similar at Muvipix, then we can offer some links, that will be helpful, but I strongly recommend that one spend a day, doing a study of the Library Menu Sets, and still having one handy, for the specifics, required. It also helps, if one understands the naming and structural conventions of DVD Menus, and then especially PrE Menu Sets.
Good luck, and let us know if you can find what you need, or something close, that you can customize.

Blue Ray Writer for iMac

I need a Blue Ray writer for my new iMac.
I’ve not used a Blue Ray writer before and I’m not sure if the write - read rates justify going to the expense of a USB3 device?
I would appreciate any words of wisdom

The short answer is... Yes.
