Fcpx, Blu-Ray & toast 11 = Burn both files in the img?

Looking to burn a Blu-Ray that is compatible with a standard home Blu-Ray player.
short:
On a FCPX Blu-Ray IMG, do you include both files in the burn or just the BDMG?
Long:
Job is all 5D mark 3 footage.
I have FCX 10.0.8. & output finished job to "share" BLU-Ray.
Result is a .IMG that when opened holds a BDMG file and a folder labeled CERTIFICATE.
I have a Mac Book Pro with a Blu-Ray burner.
Also have Toast 11 with the DB add-on.
What I don't have is a standard home Blu-Ray player to test the burn.
I do have a Blu-Ray player on my Mac but it's not the same as testing a standard home Blu-Ray player because on a home player when you put the disc in it either plays or doesn't.
Anyone experionce this before? And knows the solution to this diddy?
Thanks!
I would spend hours searching all the... results, as I normally do, but need to get it out tonight :-}

I think I found the answer. Looks like Both go in the burn.
1st, sorry for the short hand speech and typos. (BDMG should be BDMV)
In videohelp form it was suggested that both the BDMV and the CERTIFICATE should be in the burn.

Incase someone is searching for this same question, I thought I'd give the answer I found and break it down a little further.
Q: How do I output to Blu-Ray in Final Cut Pro X? I don't see a Blu-Ray option.
A: In 10.0.8 that option is hidden from the main "share" menu.
Here is Apples "how to" page on how to find it, along with other info on Destination Prefs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12718
Basically you select Share, then the plus sign "Add Destination" located at the bottom of the list, then Blu-Ray.
When you select Blu-Ray, in the preference window, the first pref. is "Output device" with two options your burner or hard drive. If you pick hard drive you get a .IMG that you would open and place the contents into a burn.
Q: What Blu-Ray burner is in your Mac?
A: a Panasonic UJ267
Very overpriced and had to modify (voided the warranty) in order for it to fit in my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
I switched one of the covers on the Panasonic with my existing to get the right fit. One screw hole had a "no tamper" label that I destroyed, so that voided my warranty.
Q: why not an external?
A: I have one but it's big and needs AC power so it's not easy to move.
This is soooooo much easier because it's so mobile.
24 Gig backups of all my stuff for a $1 per burn is priceless.
Best of luck!

H264 file conversion for use in DVDit on PC for Blu-Ray Disc Burn

We're trying to create our first Blu-Ray HD disc project and have met with some success. The problem is the frame update rate on the Blu-Ray during playback. It's not real time. Here's the workflow that we created since FCP doesn't support Blu-Ray yet. We're taking the original animation source footage created in AVI with the following specs: progressive, 1280x720. 59.94, 158 mb/s and importing into FCP. Then, after editing we export an H264 out of Compressor with these specs: progressive, 1280x720. 59.94, 16 mb/s. We then take that H264 file to DVDit on the PC and author the Blu-Ray disc. The resolution of the video is fantastic but the frame rate lags at certain areas. This is unacceptable to the client so we're trying to fix the problem. Any Ideas or better workflow? Thanks.

Hi Video Dude
here's a good article I posted on the DVDSP forum as well. It tells a bunch about workflow and the problems the author faced. I hope you know that this is kind of a new technology - so much so that I would frankly say it's in the beta stanges at this point even though you can buy players and authoring software - problems might come up that you have no control at this point. Just so you & your client relize this. Check for plyer updates as well.
Good Luck

Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

'Blu Ray Error Code 6: File Alreay Exists The ES File is Short' Message

I have successfully built my project several times until I edited three files outside of Encore.
These clips are now slightly shorter in length and I have re-imported them back into Encore and re-done the timelines they were in, the chapters and menus. I have saved the project under a different name, but when i come to build the project (Blu Ray disc or ISO) I keep getting the error 'Blu Ray Error Code 6: File Alreay Exists. The ES File is Short' and it aborts the build process.
Using CS5
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sometimes session files get corrupted when burn a project again and again or changing the assets.
If you remove session files from you project then while burning Encore will create new session files and this problem may resolve.
Remove the session files from AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder
Session file location -
/<Project path>/AuthorScriptSessions
Remove this folder and try to burn the project
Thanks,

Blue-Ray Object: "Menu"; Export File Not Found--Any Clues?

Trying to build a Blue-Ray DVD in CS3 (version 3.0.1.008). Project has motion menus and previews without errors. Upon trying to build either a disc or image I get the error
Blue-ray object: "Menu"; Export file not found.
Where "Menu" is the name of one of the sub menus in my project.
Has anyone seen this error? What is an Export file? When and how does it get created?
I have successfully burned this project to a standard DVD format.

I have the pleasure of closing out my own question. I found the following post that was the clue I needed.
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/145/857374
It would appear that the Blue Ray build process is a lot more sensitive to file naming. I brought into my project a menu that I used as a starting template, I edited it in Photoshop and then renamed it in Encore. During the Blue Ray build process Encore rendered the menus to the original template names, but when it needed them to build the DVD it looked for the files that had the new names I had given the menus in Encore.
Here is the fix. I exported the final menus using the Save as Template function in Encore. I then re-imported them as menus and relinked them to the DVD assets. Everything worked fine from that point on.
The interesting thing is this did not happen when building a standard DVD using the same menus.

Qosmio x775-3dv80 Blu Ray/DVD burning gets Blue Screen of Death.

I just got a new Qosmio X775 3DV80 laptop.
Tried to burn a Blu Ray movie with DVDfab 8. The process went through all the way till the very end and then I get a blue screen of death every single time. the brief error says IRQ problem. burning DVD gets the same.
a friend as a same model laptop. tried on his with the same result.
So it's not my particular machine!
i installed a copy of Windows 7 Pro on the sencond HD. burning either DVD or Blu Ray with no problem.
it suggests there's a glitch with combo of the original Windows 7 and the Blu Ray drive.
i have not contacted Tosh yet.
Anyone else experience the same???

Peter, thanks for your suggestions. I tried so and didn’t work either however. I compared the drivers for the blu ray disk between the preinstalled Windows 7 version and my Windows 7 Pro (works as my first post). The only difference is the former has two drivers: (1) cdrom.sys, and (2) tdcmdpst.sys. (the Windows 7 Pro has only one : cdrom.sys). It seems this model shares the a common problem, but not enough users with the app combo to stir up some waves… Additionally: Between my first post and this one, the screen acted up. It would go black and came back in 2 sec with full brightness. The current app would freeze and brightness control function stopped working. Happened in random and a few times within an hour. Got a replacement from Amazon where I bought it (same blue screen problem on this one, too). Two weeks or so later, the 3D function went out on the new one. Today, the wireless function went south… am I "lucky" or crap on Tosh’s side?

Happy New Year!
I received from a friend a UJ-220 BD-RE Blu-Ray Drive Burner from a broken Sony PCG-391M.
It's possible to install it on my HP Compaq 6720s laptop? They are the same connectors (PATA) IDE interface.
I need a driver? I dont't want to write BLURAY just to read.
Or, it-s possible to buy in Romania a USB 2.0 External Enclosure For UJ-220?
Thank you!

How to burn blu ray disc with H264 files and ac3 files?

Hello,
I have tried many times to burn a bluray disc with FCP and compressor and they always end up not successful. After spending days on testing different settings, I finally managed to only get it to work if I tried
1) outputting to Hard drive as opposed to burn to bluray
2) Turning the default bit rate down from 35Mbits to between 15-19Mbits.
Then I used either disk utility or toast to burn the disc image onto the Bluray disc.
I have however on a recent job forgotten to switch the setting on compressor to output to harddisk and instead set it to burn to Blu-ray. Big mistake. Again I end up with a h264 file and an ac3 file, and nothing I can do with them after 24 hours of rendering. Oddly, the compressor says "successful" but nothing is created but that 2 files.
My question is (before I restart the whole 24hr rendering process again) - is there anyone who can help me use the .264 file and the ac3 file and create the blu-ray disc with the menus again without having to re-render all over again? I have not been able to find anyone to provide me with a solution or find any where online that helps with that.
Desperately ...
Yee-wei

Hello,
Sorry but the instructions in the manual (online and offline) do not answer my question. Yes I do have a bluray burner, it is a matsushita BD-MLT SW-5584. I wrote in my post that when I set it to output to HardDrive, it will create a dmg file nicely for me to burn using disk utility or toast.
But when set it to burn to Bluray disc, nothing gets done. I just want to find out, with the h264 file and the ac3 file that gets created in the process of creating the dmg file, can I still burn the disc or create a dmg file from them without having to re-render the whole thing again.
Maybe you never tried burning a Blu-ray disc with FCP or compressor before. Let me explain how it works. When you submit the project to process, it will create 2 files - 1 ac3 audio file and a .264 file. After that 2 files are rendered (which takes 24hrs for my 2hr 30min HD clip), it will use that 2 files to create your Bluray disc or your dmg file. Problem occurs when it doesn't burn the disc and you are left with just the 2 files that cannot be used to burn the project again. My question is : is there anyone who knows how to set the compressor to see that the 2 files are already created and just continue to create a dmg file?
Hope my question is clearer now.

Blue Ray DVD Burner: Will the drive play both formats i.e. Blue Ray

I'm configuring a HP notebook which will come with a Blue Ray writer and DVD burner. I won't burn anything. I just would like to know if the driver will play both formats, i.e. Blue Ray and DVD movies. Can someone answer my question?

FCPX Blu Ray problem

Hi all!
I have filmed and edited in HD etc and built both a SD DVD then a BR DVD made the menu in FCPX then send
it to the haed drive as a img file for testing and burning using toast.
The SD DVD has come out well and plays no problems. I am using Tayo DVDs and Tayo BR-
Now when I put the BR disc in my BR DVD player before it comes to the menu I get a bit of a green screen, then a flash
of white noise then the menu comes up, also when i press enter to play sometimes it misses the first 2 seconds of the film
almost if its try to get lock.
It plays the film Ok and goes back to the menu but its the occasional full green screen and white noise both for half a second
etc which makes me feel it aint right.
I have tried burning stright to disc from fcpx to remove iso and toast etc but it still happens
I went out and bought a new BR DVD player so I now have 2 to test disc on and they both do it and they both have upto date firmware,
Any solutions?
