Encore freezes when tyrying Blue Ray project

I am doing my first Blu Ray burn and am having some issues....
I have my footage and am using Dynamik Link to send to Encore.......when the Encore options come up, here is what I choose.
I switch it to Blue Ray....change the dimension to 1920 x 1080 as that is what my video's were shot in
I leave it as MPEG 2 and leave the frame rate at 29.97
I don't touch the advance settings which are currently at Transcoding 15.0 MBPS.................Audio transcoding Dolyb Digital
then it doesn't let me change the player....Adobe player
I click OK and it brings my project into Encore.......the only thing is it starts on the build page and has it set to DVD saying i've used 3.78 gig.....i have an hour of footage, so this can't be right.  I go to change it to Blu Ray on the build and it freezes everything on my computer.
I've got a decent set up.....plenty of space and power.  Any thoughts?   I need this for mothers day.  :]

  • CS4 freezes when building Blu-Ray

    Trying to build an ISO for a Blu-Ray project in Encore CS4 and whenever it transcodes the large file (6GB) it freezes when less than 1/4 of the way in. I have two files both exactly the same codec (H.264 1920x1080) and the first one is way smaller and happily transcodes, but the second one doesn't, but the file doesn't appear corrupt in anyway, it plays through fully on my system.
    I'm currently trying to transcode through the program before building it but it's just frozen again.
    Please help, I need this blu-ray asap.

  • Encore is Reporting incorrect Blu-Ray Project size/length

    Hello,
    I've exported a 45 minute Premiere project into mpeg-2 bluray, and the file is about 10 gb. When bringing into encore and creating a timeline, the video is correct, but audio track is about 15 times longer than the video, and reported project size is 215gb.
    I can play the file correctly in media player and premiere - any ideas?
    Thanks a million,
    Jonathan

    Jonathan,
    You've covered a lot of ground since my last post!
    You should be able to see the issue in Pr - I can.
    Try playing the H.264 file in either Quicktime player (if you have it installed) or KMPlayer (my favorite "free" player).  If you don't see artifacts there, then the MC keyframe issue is not the problem.
    You should try CBR and any other parameter variations you can think of - that's what I'm doing here.  In my tests, moving the keyframes closer together just results in more frequent artifacts.  But that can be a good thing when you're testing.   I'm still researching this issue.
    For your tests, make sure you are using unique file names each and every time you export from Pr; otherwise En will get very fussy and start giving you errors.
    Also, while testing different file lengths and encoding schemes, you should be using a dedicated test project in En.  Don't go anywhere near your real project.
    Please heed Jon's advice and use a BD-RE for all of your test burns to disc.  As he does, I test disc images by mounting them with SlySoft's VirtualCloneDrive (also free).
    What is your source material in Pr?  Is it some form of 24p or 24pa HDV?  Is it any form of 24p?  If so, make sure it's interpreted correctly in Pr, and then make sure that En interprets the MPEG2 output from Pr correctly.

  • 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.

  • DVD Remote "skip" Function Doesn't Work for Blu-ray Projects (CS5 Encore)

         I have graduated from SD to HD and I need help.
    I just finished my first HD project in CS5, burned it to a Blu-ray disk and immediately encountered a problem: the skip forward and the skip backward remote functions don’t work. (I have encountered several other problems on the way to get here but I solved those with the help of the manual and by browsing this forum ). In this project, I am doing exactly what I have done in my previous SD projects (where this function works):
    In CS5 Encore, I added “Chapter Points at Intervals…”.
    On the timeline Properties Panel, I kept the default selection “Operations: All Permitted” (that includes “Search for Chapter” in the “Permitted User Operations” menu).
    In the “Project Preview” window, clicking on the “Next Chapter” or “Previous Chapter”, the function is executed correctly.
    Still, after burning the blu-ray disk and pressing the “skip forward” or “skip backward” buttons on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP-BD65) remote, the “Operation is not permitted” message appears. (This very remote button function works on all my SD projects.)
    More background info: I am also using Encore Chapter Markers from the PrPro project linked with Adobe Dynamic Link, chapter marker End Actions (Jeff’s The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, pp. 178-180), and Bill’s advice on using the “dip to black” transition to avoid the ~1 second gap between chapters in the Chapter Playlist that I use to play all chapters.  The following observation may be unrelated: in Encore’s Monitor Panel, the “Step Forward” button with pressing the Alt key does not move the CTI to the next GOP mark. The “Step Forward” or “Step Backward” functions (without pressing the Alt key) work (moving the CTI one frame)..
    At this point, I desperately need the Forum’s help.
    Thanks,
         - Laci.

    Up to now I worked only with standard definition projects and outputted them
    to DVDs. This is my HD project. My problem is that I am a bit confused with
    the proper (and simple) settings for a blu-ray project. Your
    questions/comments imply that I am making a "DVD project" - but then, how
    can I burn it to a BD?
    Here is what I am doing, and please, let me know if/where I am making my
    mistake:
    1.       On the camcorder the recording format is set to "AVCHD 1080/60i
    HA".
    2.       In the CS5 PrPro new project:
    a.       General > Capture Format: HDV
    b.      New Sequence > Sequence Preset > AVCHD > "AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)".
    3.       In Encore: File >  Project Settings > Basic:
    a.       Authoring Mode: "Blu-ray"
    b.      Transcode Settings: "Codec: MPEG-2; Dimensions: 1920 x 1080; Frame
    Rate: 29.97, Fields: Upper Field First, Audio Transcoding Scheme: Dolby
    Digital, Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate: 15.0 Mbps"
    c.       In the "Default Transcode Settings" window, the Blu-ray tab is
    highlighted. (There, I could change the codec from MPEG-2 to H.264 -
    according to some articles it would give slightly better quality in certain
    circumstances - I don't know.)
    d.      On the Encore Project Panel, right clicking on the sequences, and
    choosing "Transcode Settings" from the menu, I get a window that says "DVD
    Transcoding" and "Blu-ray Transcoding". In the Blu-ray Transcoding section,
    I choose Codec: MPEG-2, Dimension 1920x1080, Frame Rate: 29.97, Quality
    Preset: Automatic Using Project Settings.
    e.       Going into the "Edit Quality Presets", I change the "Export
    Settings Preset" to "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality" (from the 1280x720)
    4.       Now, in the Project Panel, under the Blu-ray Transcode Settings I
    see: "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality MPEG-2".
    Are these the correct settings for a high quality Blu-ray project? I am
    re-transcoding the project with these settings to see if I still get the bad
    transitions.
    Thanks for your advice,
    Laci.

  • Trying to Create DVD from Blu-Ray Project

    I'm a fairly new user to Encore CS4.   I was able to successfully create a Blu-Ray project using HD video - the actual video is a little over 3 hours.   It took about 30 hours for the project to transcode and burn.   I'm now trying to take that same project and created a single layer DVD.   I'm really struggling with this even though the software says I should be able to do this.    So I set all my settings up to create the DVD and started the process.   It was trancoding the video for 6 straight days!!!!!    When it finally got finished with the transcoding process I got an error that said this aspect ration was not supported by DVD!!!   So I'm confused at what I'm doing wrong.   First, I don't think the transcoding process should be taking that long.   Second, if the aspect ration is not correct, could it tell me that before it spends 6 days transcoding the video?    Third, I'm trying to burn the DVD using the same 16:6 widescreen aspect ratio, so I'm not sure why it's telling me the aspect ratio is not correct.    But what frustrates me the most is that it took wasted days before the software told me it didn't like the aspect ratio.
    I know there's products on the market that will basically copy a Blu Ray to a DVD and are supposed to do that in something like 4 -5 hours.  Why on earth would Encore be taking 6 days to transcode my video.
    Anyway, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, I'll try these suggestions next.  I had found a post from "janaiott" suggesting to select "interpret footage" then choose "conform to SD NTSC Widescreen".   They said that worked for them.   This post was titled "Use the same project to export to both BR and DVD?"
    I tried that and restarted the build.  The video transcoding went much quicker - instead of running for 6 days it finished in 2 days.   However, at the end of the transcode process I once again recieved the aspect ratio error.   My exact error is:
    PGD "Sequence 01/Band.prproj" has an error at 88.8888s.  The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD. - PGC info:  Sequence 01/Band.prproj =Bpgc, time=88.8888s.
    I'm still just baffled why Encore can't be smart enough to tell me it doesn't like what I'm doing before it spends all that time - what a waste of time!  I really don't mind waiting 2 days as long it works
    If anyone else has any suggestions, please post - but I will move on to the next suggestion and see what happens.  Just too bad it will take at least 2 days to know whether it works or not

  • CS4: maximum buttons for a blu-ray project

    Hi,
    I've a project with 6 languages (about 180 Buttons each language).
    I burned it as a normal SD-DVD. No problems there.
    But when I tried to burn it as a BD I get a error message.
    The Original message is german and could look more or less like this in english:
    Blu-ray-Object: "<Button>Menu/1", Error: "Counter overflow", Code: "2", Message: "maximum 999 titles per project (Spec Annex B)"
    Does that mean that you can use a maximum of just 999 Buttons for a blu-ray project? Or what else could that mean?
    If I can just use 999 Buttons how should I realize a project with more Buttons? I mean, 1k Buttons are not unusual for a Service-DVD.
    Greetings from Germany
    Christoph

    This Encore FAQ Entry lists the supported BD formats in Encore.
    Good luck,

    Hello
    In the lower right corner of Enc you should have the Library which has all the menus, buttons,etc.
    In the general tab you will have blank HD menus, both wide and standard and others.Pull the one you want into the project window
    and then pull your jpeg onto the blank menu.You can then scale it, or open it in PS.
    Hoped that helped.

  • Blu-Ray Project question

    Hi,
    I recorded with a professional Sony HXR-NX5E camera a video. The recording time should be around 130 minutes.
    I have files from 00000.MTS to 00010.MTS with a total disk space of 19,60GB
    Now, I wish to create a DVD and a Blu-ray media and would assume all I have to start with is creating a correct project like this one:
    PAL AVCHD 1080i 25 (50i). Is this correct so far?
    Now my problem is trying to understand, up front, if i will be able to fit this project into a Blu-ray disc like this one (Verbatim BD-R SL Datalife 25GB 6x Wide Inkjet Printable).
    I tried to run an export and selected H.264 Blu-ray but the output file is 226922 MB which is way too large and was puzzled if this will work or not.
    Please note that I have not created any Blu-ray project before. (any reference guide you can provide me with will be of great help).
    Can someone please guide me through trying to understand if I can fit this video into 1 Blu-ray disc? Perhaps at the time of creating the Blu-ray disk it will shrink it down?
    Thank you

    Hello friend, generally you can put only 120 min on a bd of 25gb, the real capacity of an bd 25 gb is 23gb, you can put all the video in but u have to tweak your video bit rate when you export your video , i have to export a 129 min timeline with a variable bitrate of 20 and max bitrate of 22 and someday i get lucky somedays not, you will have to learn how to use a bit rate calculator , (google it) cause i dont know it,  so i fine tune video bitrate until it shows me my final render around 19-20 gb or maybe less to be sure choose on sound a lower bitrate 320 or maybe lower and dolby digital and try to mux them (multiplexer option select TS). This is my workflow in general...
    U can see that in your video info that your video haves now :
    Bit rate                                 : 21,2 Mbps
    Maximum bit rate                         : 22,0 Mbps
    and only 19 gb
    Adobe preset is hd 25 i and tries to make a video with target bitrate of 25 and max 30, so it will render more ....

  • Has a stop marker any function when burning blu-ray discs with Premiere Elements 12?

    Stop marker when burning blu-ray discs with Pre 12. Does it works?

    Amiral
    No.
    This applies to Premiere Elements any version.
    Stop markers placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc are not recognized at playback of that disc using the Blu-ray player.
    If you need Blu-ray disc with stop markers, you can export your Premiere Elements Timeline content to an appropriate file type that will be compatible with a 3rd party software which will get the job done. I have heard that a software such as DVD Architect can do that, but I have not been there and done that.
    Stop markers function at playback of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc only. And, never place a stop marker at the end of the last item on that Timeline.

  • Anyone using Encore to burn to Blu Ray from FCP?

    Given that there's no way to burn a "real" HD DVD, is anyone exporting their FCP movies to Adobe Encore and burning to Blu Ray? If so, have you had any success?

    I'm yet to Author a BluRay w/ Encore using Media from FCP... but I do Author SD DVD's by exporting DV QT's from FCP then importing and encoding w/ Encore.
    Seems like you'd be able to do the same by exporting an HD QT w/ a CODEC that's also on your PC.
