Encore doesn't complete build process of new Blu-Ray

Hello, I'm having some issues with Encore and am hoping someone can help me out. I built a menu for my Blu-Ray project that is pretty simple and am having it not complete the build process while trying to render a menu. I made sure to check for errors before building an image and it said there were none. I really don't know what else to say as everything else is pretty standard. I am using a motion background that is about 8 minutes long with a sound that's about 12 seconds long for my menus. I'm not sure if the audio will keep repeating or just play once, but I'm hoping for the earlier. If not I'm going to have to go loop the audio a bunch of times in SoundBooth then import that. Either way it shouldn't make the build not work.
I tried to uninstall QuickTime, restart my computer, and build again (because I heard other codecs can cause conflicts with encore) which solved one error that was coming up but the build stops while rendering a menu now. I'm using vversion CSI if that matters. I will try and reinstall Encore right now but would love some other input in case that doesn't work. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

When an Encore project has had numerous (which for Encore can be only 1 ) errors, simply making a change may not be enough. To test specific possible issues, start a brand new project, with a new name, and use only what you need to test the problem. And in  your case, if you haven't already, I would start the project from scratch. You can import the psd menus.
Either way it shouldn't make the build not work.
I assume that it could make the build not work, particularly if the problem is the menu as you stated.
See this for menu duration and timing issues.

The short audio will play and stop. The video will probably set the duration of the menu.
the build stops while rendering a menu now.
What happens if you use the "Render Motion Menu" option.

  • I have a new iMac 27 and a new Blu Ray external drive.

    I have a new iMac 27 and a new Blu Ray external drive. What is the best way to burn a BluRay disk? I read about TOAST etc but they are getting bad reviews. What software is the best? Im running mountain lion of course. Anyone know of good software to burn this type of disk that ACTUALLY works?

    Okay, a couple of things:
    I still use (mostly) an old version of iMovie because it was/is the only version which will process footage losslessly. However, the newer versions are okay - just do not use the automatic share option, but use  the export to quicktime option where you have many options as to quality, size, etc:
    You will wind up with a .mov file you can drag into Toast to burn (or iDVD to add menus and burn). If in iDVD, you can either burn directly (but not bluray) or make a VIDEO_TS folder which can be dragged into Toast - I also use that if I want to keep a copy to burn later as it has all the necessary files so you can ditch or archive all your clips, etc.

  • New Blu-ray player and DVD-R media... strange problem?

    Hello,
    So, I have a sample disc that we made last year with various clips on it. To the best of my knowledge, everything has worked just fine. Now, I have a new Sony Blu-ray player. I put our sampler in, and one of the tracks does NOT play the audio. Plays the video, no audio. Inserting the same disc into our other players and the audio plays with the video just fine. Grab another sampler from a different build/burn. Same EXACT issue, on the same exact video track there is no audio but the disc works in all other players. Now here is the real kicker- take either sampler disc and play it in the Blu-ray player, go to the track that plays the video but no audio, play it for a few seconds, then rewind and play from the beginning, and you get sound. Jump back to the chapter index and choose the clip, no sound. Rewind & play you get sound.
    Anyone want to give my any ideas as to what is going on?
    Mike
    For what it's worth, the project was edited in FCP, Compressed using Compressor. I don't specifically know the exact settings, but I typically use VBR with an average of 6 or a CBR of 5. I always use AC3 audio. DVDSP authored the disc. I usually keep my systems up to date, but the disc was authored last January so I would have been using whatever the latest system updated in January were. And finally there are two builds of the disc. The 2nd build has DVD Rom content added to it. But either build has the same exact issue with the same exact tack.

    Not Really. Try using another batch of discs. Author the project over again..maybe it will help.

  • Step by step process to burn Blu-Ray with Compressor

    Do any of you kind people know where I can find a step by step process to burn a Blu-Ray disc using compressor. I was able to do it once and it burned with no sound, and I have not been able to replicate even that process. I am able to use Compressor just fine other than with Blu-Ray. Apples documentation on how to use the Blu-Ray encoding part of Compressor is rather scant. I really need a detailed step by step guide on how to do it.
    thanks--pete

    File>New Batch From Template>Create Blu Ray.
    Then drag your exporting movie file onto the Compressor movie well or right click on the downward arrow and choose Source>File to locate your movie file.
    But a blank BDR or BDRE in your blu burner and chose submit.

  • Encore CS4 freezes when using dynamic link and blu-ray settings

    I am using dynamic link to send a Premiere project to Encor using blu-ray for video and dolby digital for audio.  The project gets loaded correctly.  When I go to the build tab, I see the format is DVD.  I can create a project using DVD as the format output to a DVD folder.  When I select blu-ray as the format, Encore freezes.  I want to save everything as blu-ray format so that if and when I get a blu-ray burner, I can just burn the folder layout to blu-ray disc.  Is there a fix for this so that I can select blu-ray as the format?

    Worked for me!
    Thanks for the updates.

  • Encore freezes when I change from DVD to blu ray

    When I open Encore, or link from Premier pro CS4, and change from DVD to blu ray Encore freezes completely. Not even alt - ctrl - del works.
    Everything works fine when making DVD's, the problem comes when trying to change to blu ray.
    Has anyone seen this problem, - what can I do?

  • Help hooking up new-Blu Ray player to old receiver

    Hi,
    I just bought a Blu-Ray player and was hoping to just pull the cables out of my old Proscan DVD player (which is hooked up properly to my receiver) and plug them into the new player.
    However, the new player has space for two audio-out cables and one video-out cable (Y). The old player has the same two audio-out cables but has three video-out cables (Pb, Pr, and Y).
    I tried just hooking the Y into the new player and leaving the other two cables unplugged, but that leaves me with a fuzzy image on screen.
    Do I need some sort of converter, or should I have bought a Blu-Ray player with the same cable setup? The one I bought is a Samsung BD-D5700. None of my components are HDMI. My Denon receiver has the same 3 video-out plugs as the old DVD player.
    I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

  • Trying to get my new Blu-Ray connected.  Why is this so complicated?

    Okay here's the deal. I have a cable modem (Comcast) and an Airport Express (n) for my home computers. Everything works great... always have. Now I get this really cool LG BD-370 Blu-Ray Player for an early Christmas gift. Next, come the headaches. How in the world am I supposed to get my blu-ray player (hard-wired) connected to the internet so I can view my Netflix movies? I went to Best Buy and got conflicting answers. The Apple guy told me my best option was to purchase an Airport Extreme... but geez... this costs more than my new player. So PLEASE tell me what can I do. I thought I could just get some type of cheap wired router... Go from my modem to the router... and then plug in my Airport Express and my Blu-ray player to it and have everything work. No such luck. For an uncomplicated Mac user this is very frustrating! Can someone PLEASE help... THANKS!

    I'm assuming that you have a requirement to support wireless clients on your network ... correct? If so, to provide for both wireless and wired (like the LG), you will need a wireless router that has a built in Ethernet switch ... like the AirPort Extreme. However, this router does not have to be an AirPort and could be provided by a number of networking vendors, like Belkin, D-Link, Linksys & Netgear (to name just a few.)

  • Will Adobe Encore CS4 burn MTS files to an external blue ray burner if I buy one?

    Will Adobe Encore CS4 recognize/burn MTS files to an EXTERNAL blue ray burner if I buy one?

    Internal vs external should not matter.
    I have a burned to external with CS4, but it was a long time ago.
    And most importantly, Encore is not a reliable burner for many users, and they, and I, use imgBurn rather than Encore to burn.
    Also, "burn an MTS" file is totally different from authoring and burning. Encore (was it by CS4?) added a limited AVCHD passthrough option. I have not used it.

  • Compaq Presario C303NR Doesn't Completely Start-up after New RAM Upgrade

    Hello Paul,
    This is Tammy. I finally made time this morning to upgrade the ram in my laptop, model C303nr. And, I'm in desparate need of help because something went horribly wrong.
    The laptop boots up to my desktop, but then I get nothing but moving vertical lines, much like tv snow, but more structured. I've taken the new memory out a couple of times and tried to re-seated it, but I get the same results. Moreover, when I tried to put the old memory back in, the exact same thing happens. Have I completely broken my laptop?
    Can you or someone out there please help me. This is my first attempt to do something like this and I feel absolutely heartsick over the results.
    Clinging to hope for a fix,
    Tammy
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi Paul,
    After the other tech responded by asking me to connect the laptop to an external monitor to check the video card, I decided to take another go at the ram first. Note: My only external monitor is packed knee-deep in a storage room and would have been a nightmare to unearth, so going toe-to-toe again with the ram seemed considerably less challenging at that point.
    I have a small hand-held vac that I use only for blowing dust off of figurines, so I pulled it out and blew the inside of the laptop out as best I could without taking the entire bottom cover off. Then I blew the old ram off for good measure. After I re-installed the old ram, the laptop booted and the screen about windows not shutting down properly came up. (Note: Because of my earlier problem with the ram, I had to do a hard shut-down.) Safe-mode was one of my options, so I chose it. After fully booting into safe-mode everything appeared okay... no vertical, moving, snowy lines. I shut the laptop down and then started it again in normal mode. (Note: Didn't use restart. Did it the long way.) The laptop booted fine again.
    Somewhat encouraged, I decided to take a chance on the new ram. So I blew it off for good measure too and installed one stick. Restarted and everything worked just fine. Shut it down and started it again. Everything still okay. Blew the second stick off,  installed it, and restarted the laptop... fully expecting something to go wrong here. Nothing did. Shut the laptop down and started it again. All surprisingly okay. I hadn't used this laptop since our previous modem/router went out, so I had to set-up wireless connection. All remained okay... and appears to still be okay. Currently running, though it is not the one I am typing this message with.
    In summary, the only thing I can figure out is that I inadvertently introduced dust into either the ram seat or onto the ram itself. Or, that in spite of the ram appearing well seated to a novice, it wasn't. (I had read someone else's thread that indicated this as being a possibility.)
    (Note: I went into such detail above in the event this thread might help someone else at a later date with his/her own ram upgrade problem.)
    A much relieved and grateful...

  • Win Encore 5.1 won't write to LG Blu-ray burner

    Encore 5.1 (CS5.5) and Win7 Pro new computer I just built. Trying to burn a DVD in Encore.
    When I choose "Build" I see the drive (it's the only one on the computer) Everything seems fine. It builds the movie then gets ready to write and Encore says "Cannot Erase Disk."  I put in another DVD blank try it again, and when it comes to write it says "Please insert DVD media and then close the tray and click OK." Of course the tray is closed and there is good DVD media in it.  Next I try another disc and it errors out with "Encore was unable to complete the operation because of a hardware error (sense code 52102). Please contact the hardware manufacturer for more information."  I give up.
    So I use Encore to output an ISO file, I drag it into Nero burning rom and it burns perfectly on the first try using the same LG drive and one of the discs that Encore failed on.  I've seen others say that this is the way you have to do it with Encore, but I refuse to back down to this. I've used encore CS4 for years and it burned great. Has the product gotten worse instead of better?  My LG is BH14NS40 on Win7 Pro, Asus p9X79 WS, i7 3930 and 16 gigs of ram.  Why won't Encore work with my drive when Nero does so beautifully?  Can I expect any different results when I install CS6?

    You're saying, software wise, that it's whoever gets to the drive first owns it and no one else can get in
    That pretty much distills the issue.
    What happens with most "packet-writing" software is that it is set up to load at boot, and actually before most of the OS loads. It then reports to the OS that the multi-drive/burner is NOT a multi-drive/burner, but is, instead, a removable hard drive. Nero and Roxio have packet-writing software, that, when installed, will "hook" the multi-drive/burner. Windows Burning Utility, can do the same. The OS believes that packet-writing software, and just flags the multi-drive/burner AS a removable HDD.
    Encore (and other Adobe programs, that can burn to DVD) looks to the OS for instructions, and the OS tells it, "there are NO burners on this system - just a removable HDD." That is all that En sees, so will refuse to Burn to Disk, as no burner is reported.
    Now, other burning utilities, like the free ImgBurn, do not query the OS. Instead, they go to the hardware level, and look for an APTI for a multi-drive/burner. They do not care what the OS reports, as they work at the hardware level. They can get one around such problems.
    This ARTICLE goes into more detail, and also links to the FAQ Entry, that John T. has already mentioned.
    One way around this is to go to MSCONFIG and in StartUp, and Services, uncheck the packet-writing module, to keep it from loading at boot. Another method is to uninstall the offending program, say Nero, and then reinstall it in "advanced," or "manual" mode, and just do not install the packet-writing module. I have Nero on my computers, but it was installed without those modules. I have no issues.
    Now might also be a good time to check for any firmware updates for your LG, as they issue those fairly often. Be SURE to read the full instructions, and make SURE that you understand them completely, before you update the firmware. I recommend printing those instructions out, and having them handy, following EACH step, in perfect order.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Is there an Encore CS6 (PC) workaround to avoid H.264 blu-ray encodes becoming brighter?

    There is a noticeable gamma shift when transcoding with h.264 and blacks become dark gray and pixelated. This doesn't happen when I use MPEG-2, but that isn't always an option for delivery.
    Most of the time, my source material is either an Uncompressed QuickTime or a Quicktime ProResHQ. Any ideas?

    Quicktime has become an industry standard and a lot of times the decision to use it for delivery happens long before it arrives in my hands. I've requested and suggested every format known to man and I still mostly get Quicktimes delivered. My experience has shown that most people making decisions at a media distribution company have very little technical knowledge and "Quicktime" is synonymous with "digital file". It's unfortunate.
    That being said, are there any known workarounds when you're stuck using Quicktime movs?

  • Surround Sound Not Working Correctly Since Connecting New Blu-Ray Player

    I recently purchased a Sony VIZIO VBR200W Blu-Ray Player to go with my VIZIO VL420M LCD HDTV, and am having some audio issues.  I have a RCA RT2770 Home Theater System, which is connected to the TV through the audio in/out composite (RCA) audio cables (audio in is to the RCA system, audio out is to the TV).  The Blu-Ray Player and the XBox 360 are connected directly to the TV using HDMI cables.  The problem is the sound coming out of the speaker system is a bit distorted when using the Blu-Ray player.  I've also noticed quite a bit of feedback coming from both the TV speakers and the surround speakers when the TV screen is bright (loading menu's of movies, Netflix Instant Queue, etc.).  I never had any issues with the sound from the 360, which has been hooked up this way since day one.  Any suggestions on how to get the sound to be clearer? 
    OK, now I'm starting to worry that the feedback I got earlier caused some kind of picture quality issues in the TV itself!  Before I make a fool of myself for asking stupid questions, is this even a possability?  Help!!!

    dumb question - but does your rca home theater have an optical input on the back of it? it will look like a trapazoid cover with sometimes the words "audio in"

  • Exporting to Encore for Blu-ray

    Hi all
    Couple of questions guys before I get stuck into some blu-ray projects
    I have a couple of HDV projects that I want to get onto a Blu-ray disc. I have a burner and a test timeline went well - using /export to encore/ with default settings for MPEG2 Blu-ray / direct burn no authoring.
    However, if I want to get a few projects on one disc I need to export manually and use encore properly. From Premiere AME I am not sure whether to use the H264-Blu-ray option or the MPEG2-Blu-ray. I assume in either case I set the size to 1440x1080 to match hdv?
    Looking at the settings, I think I will get a smaller filesize using H264 and I just know its gonna take longer, but is there anything else to consider - will h264 result in better quality on end disc?
    Now when I get to Encore, should I change default settings for new Blu-ray project to 1440x1080 - or leave at default 1920x1440. I understand I need to stop encore from re trancoding.
    Any pointers would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Mike

    Thank you! I've made it to the transcoding stage! (So my fingers are crossed!)
    I tried saving the original PSD files as new PSD files (as the original were temp files; which, in hindsight, might have been the issue, as I hear different drives tend to mess up Encore's transcoding process), then I re-imported the PSDs as new menus within Encore. Sure, I had to re-link all the chapters again, but it was made a lot easier thanks to Encore's "Auto-name (sic.)" feature that automatically detects chapter names. Thanks so much! I could kiss you. So many hours wasted trying to resolve this! I really hope I can get this prototype burned overnight!

  • Encore CS4, Windows 7 (beta) + Blu-ray = blam!

    Anyone else testing on Windows 7 (beta) seen this? On Win7, I've had no issues with Encore through 3 DVD projects, and rendering with After Effects to both MPEG-2 (DVD) and H-264 (Blu-ray 1280x720) has been fast (at least 3x faster than Encore on Vista), but the instant I choose "Blu-ray" from the Build menu, or import a H.264 asset, everything in Windows 7 freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. It's the only Windows 7 major issue I've had so far.
    I've been able to reliable replicate this at least 4 times - start Windows 7 64-bit, open Encore CS4 (fully updated), create a brand new Blu-ray project, and (since the first screen I see says "Build DVD") change the Build drop-down to DVD and - oops, the mouse is frozen, the CPU's pretty much stopped... no, it IS stopped or in some loop or something, but Windows is frozen.
    I'm not expecting Adobe support, but hopefully they can remedy this in the future and - a warning - close all your apps before you try this on your machine. If I switch over to Vista Ultimate 32-bit, I can do the whole blu-ray project through to burning with no errors (I still prefer to transcode in AE, Encore is a slug), but I can't get past that drop-down on Windows 7. Odd.
    My specs: 8GB RAM, Q6600, oodles of HD space, CS4 Master Collection, all latest revs and patches.

    You need to do following things to get it working -
    1.     Install the new pxhlp driver from http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/kb/General%20Information/000070GN&PARAMS=
    2.      Turn off the sleep mode off in Windows 7.
              Steps to turn off the sleep mode -             
    1. Go to control panel
    2. Click on system and security
    3. click on power option
    4. click on change plan settings for Power saver
    5. Set the "Put the computer to sleep" value to "Never"
