Exporting 1080P25 to Blu-Ray

I'm working on a film shot in 1440*1080p25, and I'll eventualy want to put it on Blu-Ray disc. In Premiere, when I look at Export > Media > MPEG2 Blu-Ray, 1080p25 is not listed, but 1080i25 is. Also in the booklet for my camera (Canon HV30) it says 1080p25 is recorded as 1080i50. Does this mean I'll be able to export 1080p25 to Blu-Ray using the 1080i25 setting?

This is very depressing! I've got lots of questions now:
1/ If I export this 1080p25 film using the 1080i setting in the Media encoder, will it convert my 1080p footage to 1080i?
2/ I know there is 30% less vertical definition (a deliberate blurring to avoid line flicker) with 1080i than with 1080p (which is why I used 1080p in the first place), but is this blurring introduced at the record stage (by the camcorder), or is it added later? (if the former I'll lose no definition by converting it to 1080i).
3/ My camera booklet says it records 1080p as 1080i, so surely the 1080i setting in the Media encoder will accept it? After all 1080p is simply 1080i with both fields identical?
4/ What about converting to 1080p24?
5/ If all above fails, how can I get 1080p25 onto disc or some other medium so that it can be copied, shown in public, etc?

Exporting to HD Blu ray

I've got a broad question and then something more specific. Can anyone point me to a place where I can find a good, ground-up tutorial for the intricacies of video encoding via Premiere Pro? I can appreciate the power of this program but I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of options when it comes to exporting, among other things.
In particular, I have an MP4 that is OLD. I was able to import it into PP5 and then export under the Blu Ray option. However, my PC won't play it. Is there any way I can view what I exported? What should I expect in terms of quality for a video like that? It was a huge file, as expected, but I can't see how it looks right now. Is there an Adobe product or 3rd party product that would allow me to watch it?

Exporting H.264 Blu-ray material in CS3

System:
2009 Mac Pro 3.33GHz Quad core
Snow Leopard 10.6.5
16GB RAM
Radeon HD 5870
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, 3.2.0
Video material:
DVCProHD, 1080p60i/24p, 23.976fps shot on P2, MXF file format.
Exporting to:
H.264 Blu-ray via Adobe Media Encoder
I can render Blu-ray material, and even burn it in an internal LG 10x Blu-ray burner that I installed. The result was wonderful when played back on a Blu-ray player and HDTV.
What I cannot figure out is why I have to render projects in small little segments, rather than one large one, and then line them all up on a timeline in Encore. I then have to rearrange my chapter points, since Encore places a chapter marker at each clip. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it's just annoying.
I've tried different settings, and the one that gives me the most success is starting with the preset for H.264 (Blu-ray), HDTV 1080p 23.976 High Quality, and switching the Profile from High to Main, and leaving the rest alone. I'm not sure if I tried HDTV 1080i 29.97... maybe I should. Whether it crashes or not seems to depend on how many effects are in the clip, or how long the segment is, but I can usually get away with up to about 10000 frames of video without a crash. The crash almost always occurs during the second pass of VBR encoding. It closes Premiere and offers the crash report window, which I am not good at decyphering. Anyway, I always submit the crash report with what I was trying to do. Adobe has many of them from me now.
Can anyone shed some light as to why it only allows 6000-10000 frames go through this encoding process? My system will show that it only used about 6 out of 16 GB of RAM after a fresh reboot. It helps if I reboot between each encode session, as well. If I try to encode two short segments without rebooting between, I usually get a crash. Also, I can encode DVDs just fine with the same project. I encoded the 105 minute movie with all the same effects, clips, etc. and the DVD was flawless on the first try. It's just the H.264 Blu-ray setting that jacks it up.
I'm glad I can get the thing done piecemeal, but I was hoping someone could at least explain why it's so difficult. (:

I would agree, and I think it must have to do with RAM. When I get a segment exported successfully, the Activity Monitor shows very close to all 16 GB used in many cases. I surmise that when the program sucks too close to all 16GB up, it crashes.

Premier CS4 will export H.264 Blu Ray, but not a H.264 file.

When I export the file under H.264, Adobe Encoder won't even load the project file. However, it loads and completely exports my 25 minute 1080p HD 24 fps film under the H.264-Blu Ray option which takes about 17 hours on my Dinosaur PC.
So basically, I already have a 25 minute 4 gig film on a Blu-ray disc that I burned at my friends Modern computer, and now I just want a standalone MP4 file as a backup.
Anyone?

Despite the Interlaced UFF export setting, the H.264 option doesn't respect that and exports out a poorly deinterlaced progressive video instead.
If you need interlaced H.264, always use the H.264 Blu-ray option.

PR and AME 8.1.0 Export H.264 Blu-ray Creates Malformed xmpses File

Posting this here in PR, but this also applies to AME. The bug report was coded to AME. The only symptom may be upon import to Encore. See issue and bug report in this thread: Re: Re: Encore won't import markers with bluray vid output from Premiere through Media Encoder
Bug report filed. This appears to affect H.264 Blu-ray exports from PR 8.1.0 directly or through AME 8.1.0. It does not affect MPEG2 Blu-ray. The only practical symptom identified so far is a failure of files to import to Encore without deleting the xmpses file, which results in loss of chapter markers. A possible workaround is to modify the xmpses file.
Has this already been identified as a bug? Are there any other consequences?

Hey Kevin -
Having this issue on my new PC. I posted this on the Encore thread too but figured I'd update this thread as well. Hopefully the fix is coming in the next update (8.1.1?) Interestingly, I'm using 8.0.1 right now and I'm in my first week using my new PC (switched last week from long time Mac user) and both projects I exported had this issue. What's strange is that on my PC when exporting projects to the H264 Bluray format I get the xmpses and and xmp file whereas on the mac I only got the xmpses file. Even stranger is that I never had this issue on my Mac and when I bring in a project that I just exported using my mac into Encore on my PC it doesn't give the "error parsing MPEG..." message and all chapter markers come in just fine. These exports were just from last week using the same version of Premiere (8.0.1) I'm using AME 2014.1 though on this new PC whereas I can't remember on my mac if I had updated it yet to 2014.1 I don't think I did. Can't remember and I already wiped and sold it. Anyway, glad to hear the bug has been isolated and hope for a fix real soon. Thank you!

Exporting AVCHD to blue-ray

Hi everyone. I am very new to the world of H.D. and I have a question. Simply... what do I have to do to export my video to blue ray from fcp7? I do have an external blue ray burner that I assembled my self and yes it does work. Just not sure of the settings for proper export. I see that idvd will not burn full H.D. 1080i video and nor will dvdsp because its a dvd burning software and not a Blue Ray application. The video that I am exporting will have chapters so I'm wondering if the new Toast titanium 11 will work. Any suggestions or advise? Thanks so much in advance.
I am also using Premeire Pro cs5.5 if that could help in any way.

http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/20/861769
It's a couple years old but still relevant. It uses 5.1 audio, but will work for 2.0 also. Toast Titanium 10 is used, but 11 will work too. The compression is MPEG-2 which compresses alot faster than AVC and if you crank the bit rate it looks great. Don't bother using 2 pass, one pass is good.In the Encode tab under "extras" you can select to use chapter markers. At max bit rate you should get approximately 90 minutes with 192kbs. AC-3.
Good Luck.

How to Export HDV for Blu-Ray?

When editing in DV mode, I would export an avi and a wav file, use Tmpgenc to convert the avi to an m2v file, then import the m2v and wav files into Tmpgenc DVD Author 16 to build a menu and burn a DVD. How do I burn a Blu-Ray disc after editing HDV? What are the steps? (I have a Blu-Ray burner and Blu-Ray discs.) I downloaded Tmpgenc Authoring Works 4 Trial, but it wouldn't recognize an m2v file that I made using Adobe Encoder. I can't use Encore because something screwed up upon installation and now it refuses to install it again. All I get are error messages.

Yes, fixing an installation is a pain but it will help you in the long run. You're asking for an aspirin to take away the pain of a broken leg. Fix the leg.
My thought would be that even if you try to work a blu-ray with some other program, your system problems will cause it to have the same problem.
Try a simple uninstall of Adobe products, get and run the CS4 clean script, run whatever disk checking program you have on the system, do whatever maintainence is appropriate and then reinstall the Adobe apps, run the updaters and hopefully you'll be good to go.
It's a pain, but it will likely be worth it.

Exporting to a Blu Ray Disk

Currently, i make movies from a combination of HD video & digital photographs. I compose the project, add special effects & music - then share to Apple Prores 422. I then burn the DVD using an external DVD drive & third party software to play on our DVD player.
I am thinking about buying an external BluRay drive & burning the projects to a Blu Ray disk since most folks I share this finished movie with now have Blu Ray players. These videos can be anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hr.
I have searched which is the best drive & have come across a Samsung SE-506BB/TSBD. I have found Blu Ray blank disks that seem to be decent.
But where my searching isn't clear on - is the best way to save the project & which is the most efficient & easy to use software to burn a successful Blu Ray disk.
Any suggestions?
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, Final Cut Pro X, Version 10.1.3
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.
You can use FCP X and burn a Bluray directly from the FCP X Share menu.
Another method for repeated discs at a later stage is to create a Bluray Disc Image to a hard drive.
Toast 11 or later with the Bluray Plugin will also work using an FCP X Master File.
Once burnt, the discs will require dedicated Bluray software to play on your Mac.

Exporting HD video to Blu-ray format causes motion blur

Using Premiere Pro CS4, I have HD video projects that are either 720p30 and 1080i (60i). The 720p video is 1280x720 (1.0) 60fps. The 1080i footage is 1920x1080 (1.0) at 29.97 fps.
For exporting the video to a format suitable for burning to Blu-ray (using Encore) I've am using the MPEG-2 Blu-Ray format using either the HDTV 1080i High Quality or the HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality presets, depending on the format of the original video that I'm compiling.
I didn't notice it at first but when I burned first my test Blu-ray disc I found that the video was having some wierd exaggerated motion blur characteristics going on. Any abrupt movment, such as a person turning their head or a video box shrinking from full screen to half screen would be wildly blurred. I thought it might have been a result of the burn but I subsequently found the problem was introduced during the video export process in Premiere Pro. I just didn't catch it because I wasn't looking closely enough.
Because I am using the default settings for the two presets cited above I'm at a loss about what is introducting this blur or how to go about mitigating it. Anyone got any tips? What could be having such a problem making motion which shouldn't blur too much blur so badly? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Ok, I'm stumped for the moment. To better illustrate what's going on I'll post some pics of the problem. I'm using a piece of video that's not part of my projects but it does illustrate what's going on pretty well.
The first is what Premiere Pro is displaying for the source video. I'm currently using a Sequence Preset of DVCPROHD 720P 60P even though I don't have the hardware for it. The reason being is it stopped the blur from happening in the timeline and I think that's because this preset had a 59.94 fps preset and the source video was 60fps.
http://www.imagebam.com/image/7bd0af110335520
The second is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the source video file looks like. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse.
http://www.imagebam.com/image/9aa895110335495
The third is a Premiere Pro frame grab of what the exported video file looks like. The video was exported using MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality with no modifications. I'm using an export of Windows Bitmap with a preset of HD Square Pixel Bitmap 720p. I'm using the Progressive setting because if I choose either Upper or Lower first the image looks even worse. Incidentally, this exported video displays in the Premiere Pro timeline with visible motion blur characteristics whereas the source video did not.
http://www.imagebam.com/image/3a2a60110335483
What these images show.
1) The source video displays crisp in Premiere Pro even though this is footage of a video transition.
2) The source video exports out with some motion blur.
3) When you do a frame grab of the exported video the motion blur of the exported video increases.
As I said, I'm stumped. I've tried modifying every setting in the exporter for MPEG Blu-ray with a preset of HDTV 720p 59.94 High Quality and I can't stop this blur. I looked at the H.264 Blu-ray setting but it appears useless. Every time I try to export, the exported video crashes Media Player and when I load it into Premiere Pro I see the video now has motion blur.
At this point I'm wondering if upgrading to CS5 will make a difference or not. That's about the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried yet.

Blu-Ray Export Settings

I am in the process of finishing a Blu-Ray project and I want to export it for Blu-Ray discs. Usually I would 'build' an ISO and burn that to a disc, so my first question is, is that the best way to do it? Export an ISO of the project and then burn that onto discs, or should I burn to discs straight from Encore?
Secondly, should I build a BD-R or a BD-ROM (and would I need different discs?) I want these Blu-Rays to play in most Blu-Ray players if not all. And also, what is BD-ROM content that I can add?
My last question is how do I name the Blu-Ray disc so for example, when someone puts it in their PS3, it says the title of my film instead of "untitled"? Is this something in Encore or in my ISO burning program (providing I burn ISOs)?
Thanks!

Export an ISO of the project and then burn that onto discs, or should I burn to discs straight from Encore?
Partly because Encore burning effectiveness was poor in the past, many of us have never tested it in CS6. So I much prefer build to image (or folder) and burn with something else (I use ImgBurn).
Secondly, should I build a BD-R or a BD-ROM (and would I need different discs?) I want these Blu-Rays to play in most Blu-Ray players if not all.
The selection of disk type when building to an image is regarding the type of disk you will use. Re the compatibilitgy issue, see this thread, starting with Neil's post at 16:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5450695#5450695
how do I name the Blu-Ray disc so for example, when someone puts it in their PS3, it says the title of my film instead of "untitled"?
Not where I can check it, but I believe you just have to name the disk in disk properties. (Select the "disk" in the flowchart, or click in an open area of the project panel.)

How to get better resolution on Blu-ray (1080/60i)

I'm experimenting with my new AG-AC160A camcorder and have been shooting youth hockey games in AVCHD mode, 1080/60i, 1/120 shutter, manual gain and white balance set appropriately, and florescent scene file setting due to lighting in rink. I have PP CS5 and am disappointed with the relative lack of HD-crispness when the Blu-ray output is played on my HD LED set. I used the above settings based on recommendations I saw in the forum somewhere. Any suggestions on what I can try differently? Thank you.

To elaborate on Ann's great advice, the Sequence preset you should be using is AVCHD 1080i30 (60i).
A good way to start out with the correct sequence is to import your clips and then drag one onto the "New Item" icon at lower right of Project Bin. This will create a new sequence to match the source material automatically. As Ann mentioned, you have a non-HD preview format, so if you rendered the timeline to green, and checked "Use Previews" on the final export, then your Blu-ray could have "SD quality" footage in it!!
Curious why the 1/120 shutter, hoping to get better action motion?
If you have a current timeline using the incorrect settings, go ahead and add a NEW Sequence with correct settings, open original sequence and "Select All" which is CRTL + A, then CTRL + C to Copy. Then go to the proper AVCHD sequence and Ctrl + V to Paste entire contents. You will now have the edited sequence moved into correct sequence settings. Now use Export and in AME choose "H.264 Blu-ray" and choose the 1080i preset and export, then use results in Encore. The Blu-ray should look excellent when done correctly.
When exporting from AME, do NOT check the box for "Use Previews", as you want to encode direct from original source and skip any intermediate render clips.
Thanks

Share Blu-ray Qmaster Error

Hi, I'm trying to export my first Blu-Ray today and I'm getting an error.
It says, " Share Failure: HOST (............local) Final Cut Pro generated an error or unexpectedly quit.
It has also said, "Share Failure. An Internal error occurred: Apple Qmaster File Agent not found." I've seen other similar post on using this feature but none about exporting and burning to BluRay DVD.

If you have a Quad or Octo core MacPro then here's how to set up a cluster:
http://www.fcsoutlet.com/home/StudioOutlet/Entries/2008/9/1_Virtual_Clusters_-Compressor.html
However the weird thing is I did my Blu-ray on a new MacBook Pro and the cluster was already set up - I didn't think you could cluster with just two cores.
It worked so I didn't look too closely into it.
Make sure you send rather than share.
