Fcp 7 crashes continually while trying to share to blu ray

I'm trying to burn a video to blu ray, but FCP 7 crashes continually while trying to convert the file. I've tried restarting, but the same problem persists. The video is 14 minutes long.

I don't know precisely what your max length would be for DVD-5, but according to Compressor, the preset is 30Mbs - in which case, you're pushing it. Try exporting as QT, taking the QT into Compressor and dropping the bit rate a little to see whether it will then fit.
Good luck.

InDesign crashes continuously when trying to export into PDF - Urgent Help!

Hello All,
I'm facing the issue like InDesign is getting crashed continuously when trying to export directly the PDF, I'm using InDesign CS5.5. Please suggest urgently.
Thanks,
Praveen

I tried with script, but later assumed it's crashing even doing manually using File -> Export.
Sorry, that's terribly unclear.
Is it crashing with BOTH the script and File > Export?
Is your script using exportFile or asynchronousExportFile?
If it crashes manually, have you tried disabling asynchronous exports per Re: Background PDF export Help?

FCP 7 "Share to blu-ray" burn issue.

This may not actually be a FCP issue, but possibly some of you here are experienced in the matter.
Firstly, my video is 1080/24p ProRes.
This is my first jump into Blu-ray, and I'm quickly learning the many work-arounds, but have run in to a problem.
Initially I tried exporting a QuickTime with "current settings", and dropping it in toast and encoding/burning.
Video looked pretty good, but it was choppy. Google tells me this seems to be a common issue with toast and 24p.
Most suggest encoding with Compressor and then burning with Toast.
Tried that, but I couldn't get it to just encode the files and that be all. It kept asking for a blu-ray disc and ejecting the drive, as if Compressor was going to burn it?
When I would choose "cancel burn", my only option, the whole batch would fail. After all that encoding time...
Wasn't too depressed, because after digging more, Google also told me that many believe the h264 encode using the "share" function in FCP produces better results. Though the options are non-existent, it did great. My only complaint is you are forced to convert audio to .ac3. Well that *****.
So I went ahead and exported all the audio from IN and OUT markers as .aiff.
This is where my problem arrives..
I threw the h264 and aiff in Toast, chose "never re-encode", and it burnt fine.
Video looks great, no stuttering. But the AUDIO! It slows drifts out of sync...
Video is an hour long, and at about 20 minutes in, it's 1-2 seconds behind, and goes from there.
Why would that be?
Any experience with this?
I checked, and the ac3 that FCP made, and the aiff are the EXACT same length.
Any thoughts? Or any other work-around for keeping audio lossless?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Johnny.
I wasn't saying AC3 s*u*c*k*s. And really.. Why is that word censored? I didn't do that.
I was saying it ***** that you ONLY have the option of AC3 with the "Share to blu-ray" feature.
And yea, I'm sure I would never know the differene, and especially not my grandparents with their home movies.
But it just seems d*u*m*b (can I say that?) to be going through all this trouble for a "lossless" lineage, ie. HD camera, FCP, Blu-ray burner/player, and have to compress the audio. Isn't that one of the main advantages of blu-ray?! Quality? Wether we can detect it or not?! Ha!. Okay..
I thought an easy workaround would be to export the audio to AIFF and drop it in.
No idea why it's drifting....but yes, in the end i may settle.
Though I'll feel cheated! Guess that's what I get for loving BOTH Apple and Blu-ray....
If anyone has other processes of getting good 24p to Blu-ray, please share!
Thanks again.

FCP only shares to Blu-ray at 720p

I am trying to make a blu-ray disk of high school basketball using Final Cut Pro 10.1. the video is recorded with a Panasonic HDC-TM700 shooting 1080p at 60fps. During editing FCP X shows both the resolution and the frame rate to be that of the imported clips. However, when I choose the 'Share - Blu-Ray' option the resolution becomes 1280X720p. I have not been able to find any way to change the settings in a preference pane. I have tried this on a Hackintosh i7 running Snow Leopard and FCP 10.0.08 as well as a MBPro 15"Retina running FCP 10.1. Any help?

I can't find a way to change settings either. A work around is to export a Master file. Then bring that into Compressor. Apply Blu-ray settings there. Highlight the blu-ray video file and in the inspector window change the settings to what you desire.

FCP X fails to share to blu-ray or DVD, no chance to trash com.app...plsit from lion, what to do?

I burned some Blu-Ray before with my new FCPX, now I get a "Failed" message when I try to share both Blu-Ray and DVD to hard drive for an image or actually burn a disc. I saw one answer was to trash the com.apple.final...plist files but I do not know how to do it from the new Lion OS, any help?

Tom,
Thank you so much. It trashed the files and now FCPX is burning my Blu-Ray :-)

The share operation Blu- ray has failed. quicktime Error: 0

the share operation Blu- ray has failed. quicktime Error: 0 anyone any idea how i overcome this ?

Are you working with native media? If you are, see if Final Cut will let you transcode a clip to Pro Res 422. Do an export test with that single clip. (Write the output to a disk image so you don't waste a disk.)

Enocore CS5 error when trying to burn to blue ray disc

My project consists of 4 AVCHD clips imported separately into Encore as timelines and then I deleted the timelines to keep just these assets. I built a new timeline and added these three clips to this timeline. Three of the AVCHD clips are on the timeline with a total time of about 3:30. The fourth is a 30 second clip used for the motion menu background. The file size is 22.95 GB. There are 39 chapters in the project, the top page (page 0) has three buttons linking to chapters 1, 21, and 30 (the start of each of the clips). The other pages of the menu have 6 video buttons per page linked to chapters. All of the clips when highlighted will lead to the project setting "Do Not Transcode" (which is what I want) and I am buring this to a 25GB blu ray disc. When I checked the project everything seemed okay- no error messages. I then went to build the disc and after about 20 minutes I got the following error message:
"Blu-Ray Object: "<Menu>NTSC_FISH top menu",Error:"device error",Code: "2",
Note: "Too many primary video streams in clip (Spec Table 9-3,Annex B)"
The menu name is NTSC_FISH topmenu. Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix this?

I went to the original motion menu source and saved it as Microsoft AVI (file name: Premiere pro avi for menu.avi) instead of AVCHD hoping that might help and then brought that file into Encore and linked that as the motion video for the top menu (the other menus don't have a motion background). I tried to animate the buttons for all the menu pages. When I click on the Premiere Pro avi for menu.avi asset the options show for DVD Transcode automatic and for Blu Ray Automatic (for transcoding). The file shows as 720X576 and it is 34 seconds long. The top menu is checked to animate buttons and I can uncheck it if I want, the submenus-start at page 1- have the animate buttons grayed out but checked and I can't uncheck these even if I wanted to. When I tried to burn this to disc, it got further along- burning 13.15 gb to disc and then I got the following error message:
Blu-ray error:File already exists",Code:"6", Note:Video buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 1321.253267 seconds-
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, 2.4 ghz processor Quad core, 6 gb of memory and 69.1 gb free on my external hard drive and 29.7 gb free on my c drive. I have an NVIDIA GE force 8500T card. Any ideas?

Share-to-Blu-Ray Default Encode Settings

When using the "Share to blu ray" feature in FCPX, what codec does it end up burning to disc? H264? MPEG?
Also, is it possible to change these default settings?
Any help is appreciated!

Just to add you would need to get Compressor if you wanted to customize the settings.

Messages app crashes while trying to share photo

Messages app freezes and crashes after trying to share a photo by tapping the camera button... I'd like to add that I've quite literally tried everything to fix this is issue and have searched this entire forum for answers, even called apple 2-3 times and they ran out of ideas as well... I've reset all settings and content, I've wiped my iPhone and started fresh and manually started adding content back onto my device and the photo share option worked!! Unfortunately it only worked for a day then went right back to freezing and crashing without showing any photos to share. I can still share photos thru the photos app but that is such a nuisance to use regularly... Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!! And im not holding my breath that 8.1 will fix anything because 8.0.2 didn't fix squat... Actually 8.0.1 ruined landscape mode in safari for me and I'm not able to select anything on any website while in landscape

Problem is now known by Apple. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303604

Trouble with FCP 7 and Share (for Blu-Ray)

I've done a bunch of reading in this forum this morning and I see that pretty much everyone agrees NOT to use the Share option within FCP7 for burning a blu-ray. But I haven't come up with an exact answer as to why. Until now I've actually had good success with this, although I have not compared it directly with a BD created in Compressor or Toast 10
That would be great to know, but more importantly for now here is my question:
I wanted to burn a BD from FCP7 using Share. The project is 1 hour in length and the export took 5 hours. When it got to the point of burning the BD it gave me an error message saying that the Blu-ray drive was in use by another program. My only option was to cancel the burn, and thus start all over again!!
However, checking the scratch discs it appears that the video and audio files were created. So the root of my question is... what can I do with those created files now? Can I put them into Compressor? How can I burn a BD from those files without having to go through the 5 hour export again?
Thank you very much!!
Eric

Hi Eric, here is a response a I just posted for someone else...
How odd that the BluRay disc using share will not play... I've used Share before successfully, except since I don't have a blu ray burner, I burned a AVCHD disc (which only plays on a BluRay Player).
Perhaps you took a wrong turn somewhere... What were your EXACT steps?
Do you have Toast? That may be another solution... Follow this thread on Creative Cow for that: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/20/861769
Here is a tutorial on using Compressor (I have not watched, if it s u c k s, sorry): Compressor 3.5 Tutorial: Burning a Blu-Ray and/or DVD - YouTube
Here is the Kenstone tutorial for creating a AVCHD disc... perhaps it will shed some light in case you did something wrong:http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/burn_br_mac_superdrive_stone.html
Anyhow, hth...

Share to Blu-ray

Recently I completed a six minute project in After Effects and rendered all the clips in ProRes 1920x10830P. I exported the project via "Share" in the file menu and created an AVCHD single layer disk that plays in a Blue-Ray player. It worked great, the client really liked it.
However, I have been trying to export an XDCAM EX 1080P30 project and I keep getting a "quicktime 0" error message. I tried putting the project into a ProRes time line but got the same result.
This project is significantly longer, 1hr 45min, so thinking it might be a size thing I did a test with six minutes and it worked. The XDCAM EX Master file is approximately 28GB's which means in should only be about 5:1 compression and should still look great. But I can't get it to work.
Anyone tried this? Or know how to resolve this?

I have only been able to get it to work on projects less than 10 minutes long. It will do the encode but then it hangs when I insert media to be burned. What you might try is export to compressor>create blu-ray disc. In the project pane at the upper right, click on create blu-ray disc. In the inspector click on job action. Change the output device from your optical drive to "Hard Drive (blu-Ray)" This will create an H.264 video file, an AC3 file,. and a disc image file. You can then burn the disc image onto your media with either disc utility or Toast 9/10.
Aleternatively, you can take the H.264 file and ac3 file into Toast and create your blu-ray disc there.

Trying to connect Sony Blu Ray player to MI424WR router wired through in-wall connection, help!

Maybe someone can help me. My house has some pre-wired cat5e plugs in the walls. I have my MI424WR router upstairs and my Sony blu ray player downstairs. I first connected the router and blu ray player to the wall with cat5e cables, no luck. I then tried using a cat5e crossover cable from the router to the wall, no luck. The Sony blu ray player has everything set to auto, but do I need to configure something? Can someone help me figure out what is not working? Thank you.

No. cat5 wiring doesn't work that way. Unlike phone wiring where all the wires are connected together, cat5 wiring connects point-to-point between two Ethernet devices. You need a continuous cat5 path from the blu-ray player to the router. The patch panel merely provides a termination point for each cable.
The easiest thing to do to get this working is to take a cat5 patch cord and use it as a jumper from the jack going to the blu-ray player and the jack going to the Actiontec router. That will give you a continuous connection between the two devices.
Longer term, if you want to add devices in other rooms that have a cat5 cable, you will need to add a switch as viafax999 suggested.

You will need to connect the jack going to the Actiontec router as well as the jack going to each room where you want an Ethernet connection to the switch. The number of rooms you want active will determine how many ports you need on the switch.

I'm trying to connect Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S580.

I've managed to set up the wifi through Airport. However, the player states that the internet connection has failed. When I tried to set up manually, it wants a default gateway number and a secondary DNS number. I can't find these. When I went to Sony's help page, it directed me to choose a router. I can't find this on my mac either. Please help.

Trying to use a Blue ray player on my iMac...

I own a sony blue ray player that i am trying to use as my dvd player on my 27 inch imac. I have a mini display port to hdmi cable that is supposed to work. It is plugged in but when i press the command+f2 button either nothing happens or i get a beep. What do i need to do to make this work?

Hey Scottfromnorthport,
Out of the box you can burn and read Blu ray Data discs.
I'm guessing this is not what you are after.
I'm guessing that you want to watch Blu-ray Movies.
OSX does not support this natively how ever there are 2 solutions.
VLC 2.0 has basic Blu-ray support it can be found here VideoLAN - News
Mac Blu-ray player found here http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Which ever route you go down. It's not quite as seemless as you would hope.
It still feels a bit clunky. and needs a fast processor although you should be good.
