Export for Blu-ray: 1440x1080 or 1920x1080?

When choosing my 1080i H.264 settings in Media Encoder, I can select either 1440x1080 (1.33 PAR) or true 1920x1080.  Does it matter? Will any Blu-ray device play either one?
I'm coming from a DVCPRO timeline which is actually 1280x1080 (with a 1.5 pixel ratio).

My advice is to get to square pixel dimensions as soon as you can and then keep them square.  So exporting to 1920x1080 from your DVCPro sequence should work best/easiest, provided that the export doesn't introduce artifacts or empty areas of the frame. 
Do a short test export to find out for sure.

  • Exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60

    I am exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60 using compressor 3.05. I export straight from Final Cut 6 to compressor. It all looks great except I end up with some frames in the video that pixelate. It is just one frame, and the average viewer may not see it, but if you go frame by frame you see it. I thought it was just a bad export, but I exported the file again and the same thing happens again on the exact same frame. The fact that it happened again on the exact same frame was very odd to me. It is this way on five different video files. It's certainly not like that in the original on my timeline, so I don't know why it is doing that.
    I guess I will try exporting a quicktime file first and then putting that file through compressor to see if that makes a difference. Any ideas from anybody?

    Exporting a quicktime file first still produced the pixelated frame. I'm not sure what else to try.

  • 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.

  • H.264 for Blu-Ray Encoding Time

    Hi All,
    I have exported a Pro-Res 1080p 2 hour film from FCPX and just dropped it into compressor. I have then dragged the default H.264 for Blu-Ray settings on my video and it looks like it will take way over three hours. I have a friend running Media Encoder and with the same file on his laptop it does it in 40min and it's a slower spec . I am running Compressor  4.1.3 and the latest MAC OS operating system. I have enabled additional instanced checked and the number 1 in the drop down (there are no other numbers)
    Is there anything I am doing wrong, surely it can't be this slow, it's not even set to multipass.
    Thanks

    Sounds about right to me for a rMBP.

  • Ripple Training Video says I can "Share" (export) to Blu-Ray (PS3)

    I'm successfully exporting HD video from Final Cut Pro 7.0 to MP4 H.264 for streaming on PS3. As you know, this workflow locks up Final Cut Pro until it's done. Then I serve the video using PS3 Media Server.
    I'd prefer to use Compressor to handle this in the background - and with more processor utilization - but I have had no luck getting my PS3 to see the file when it's complete.
    The issue seems to be that Compressor creates mutually exclusive *.264 video as well as an .ac3 audio files which the PS3 does not recognize - nor does Quicktime, MPEG Streamclip, or anything else I've tried.
    Of particular interest is the tutorial listed in the link:
    http://www.rippletraining.com/provideoapps.html
    Click the last Final Cut Pro video "Output to Blu-Ray"
    He mentions his client would like to watch on their PS3 and conveniently skips over how to do that.
    Am I missing a step?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Thank you for taking time to reply.
    Watch the tutorial to see what I mean. Have you tried to create a file for Blu-Ray /PS3 using the "Share..." option in FCP and get it to work?
    What the guy says in the tutorial is "My producers would like to watch this HD show before it's broadcast....since my producers want to watch their episode on their Playstation 3's, let's choose Blu-Ray." Then he goes on a slight tangent and talks about making a Blu-Ray Disc. Each option appears to basically create the h264 and AC3 files. He doesn't mention muxing the two files. That's where I got mixed up. I've figured it out.
    I don't have to use Medialink. I own it but "PS3 Media Server" functionality blows it out of the water. You might like to try it out.

  • Device error to export on Blu-Ray

    In Adobe Elements 4, when i made export to Blu-Ray a device error apear . I repeat the export three times with diferent discs,Verbatim 2xBD-R , Memorex 4xBD-R,and the same problem apear..The computer is a Sony Vaio AR-71S. Please help me...

    No need to say that you already tried to restart application.
    For 'Device error', try whether device working properly with some other application like Window Movie Maker or other app comes with BluRay burner.
    'Device error': try to connect device first and add media to it and than start Premiere Elements
    'Device Error': Insert some bluray dics or movie to bluray burner and check whether window explorer able to read it properly.
    'Device Error': update Blu-ray burner firmware.
    'Device Error': In Premiere Elements, Share, select 'BluRay' not 'DVD' and click on rescan.
    Please try these options and till than let me think some more way to help.

  • How do I determine correct media encoder settings for Blu-Ray

    I am successfully producing Hi Def Blu-Ray disks by using one of the presets available in Premiere media encoder. Actually using the HDTV 1080i 25 High Quality setting. They playback in beautiful high definition but I think I was just lucky. I would really like to know what determines the setting I should use.
    1. I live in Australia so I assume PAL.
    2. My camera is a Sony HDV. HCR HC9 1440 x 1080i. I assume this is irrelevant to export encoding settings for Blu-Ray.
    3. The export encoder preset has field order set to Upper. I would have thought I should either match the project settings which is interlaced to match my camera and project. OR more likely I should match the audience TV which would be a widesceen plama or LCD TV. I dont know if these TVs are interlaced or progressive. OR is it more a question of what field order the Blu-Ray player expects me to send on the disk?
    4. I will play on a TV 1920 x 1080 pixel capable and on slightly lower resoultion widescreens. The encoder preset is for 1920 x 1080 so I assume that's ok for all widescreen TVs even lower definition ones.
    As you can tell I am a learner. Any suggested links to basic reading on the subject would help me.
    Robert
    PS Put this item in wrong forum previously.

    Since no response I've been searching and found the following.
    When encoding to make a Blu-Ray disk from my HDV 1080i footage:
    1. Tell encoder the source is 1080i That is interlaced and it's TOP field first for HDV footage.
    2. Tell it to encode to 1440 x 1080 resolution. You could tell it 1920 x 1080 but it will take much longer to encode. Will be good but why bother. All BD players will automatically up the 1440 to 1902 full screen.
    3. Beware, not all players support BD-R and BD-RE recordable disks.
    Seems Panasonic is good. Samsung probably good. Sony and Sharp probably not able to read (yet).
    4. All players read MPEG-2 compression and H264 compression. Use a bit rate of 25 Mbps for MPEG-2 encode or 18 Mbps for equivalent result in H264 encode. Can use higher rates. These are minimums for a very good result
    5. One pass encode is pretty damn good but use two pass if you have the time to wait for the encode.

  • PAL Presets for Blu Ray

    i have a project shot on the Sony EX1 at 1920 x 1080 p. I want to export using ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER to 1920 x 1080 progressive 25 FPS. Most options are for US standards, when I click PAL it only offers interlaced.
    If 1920 x 1080 Progressive 25 fps is not possible for blu ray, what settings do you suggest?

    1080p @ 25 fps is not part of the Blu-ray spec. Call Sony and complain.

  • 5.1 mix for blu-ray from 6 mono tracks

    Hi there,
    I'm not too well versed in creating 5.1 mixes at the moment. Here's the project I've set out to do...
    I currently have a 1hr 45min Apple Pro Res video with six mono tracks intended for a 5.1 mix for Blu-ray and DVD authoring. All six channels are in the order they should be in for 5.1 (i.e. 1st track LEFT, 2nd track RIGHT, 3rd track CENTRE, etc.). I'm just having difficulty in bringing the file back into Premiere and exporting it for Blu-ray H264 setting with the 5.1 mix functioning properly.
    Please advise,
    Mike

    I'm a bit late coming to this thread.
    As Jim says the problem with Premiere is that you can't just send a track to the LFE.
    One work around that I use-
    Put the LFE mono track on 2 tracks in your sequence. Send one track to centre and LFE and the other track just send to centre BUT put the invert audio effect on that track. This will cancel out the feed to the centre just leaving the LFE.

  • Exporting to blu ray and using episode problem

    I have a 60 min HDV time line of which I would like to export to Blu Ray ready for the future so I can then delete the master files and clear some space of the main hard drive.
    I bought a program by flip 4 mac called Episode Pro which plugs in to compressor and you can use it to export files apparently quicker and better.
    Episode has a drop down box with Blu Ray settings for Video and Audio which I choose. so far so good.
    When I tell it to export and then bring up the batch monitor it tells me that it take 3 or 4 days and the first try took 3 days and then a message failed came up.
    After that I had to reboot because it messed up FCP too
    Am I doing something wrong in episode and if I was to use normal compressor for Blu Ray exporting what settings should I use, I only see HD DVD?
    Thank you in advance,
    Regards
    Darren

    These are settings for compressor that I use.
    I use bootcamp, windows, and DVDitPro HD to burn blu ray disc.
    These settings are what DVDitPro likes ( no re-encoding)

    How i can to Export to Blu Ray Folder?
    I need some Fix or Update?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    Other programs can be used to do what you want, either from inside PrE, or in a stand-alone.
    Now, I do not know what might/might not be available for Mac, and some searching might be required, but users have recommended Phantom Drive, and another utility, with a similar name, that eludes me this AM. Those utilities basically tell PrE that a folder on the HDD is really a BD burner, and then PrE just goes about burning to that, thinking that it is burning to a BD burner. I am sure that something like that exists for the Mac.
    Good luck,

  • 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.
