For those that burn to blue ray...

Did you encounter any problems with it when burning? Is it better then plain
DVD format? Is it fast to burn a 45min to hour video?
Thanks,

I think its really exciting! I don't remember how to use PC's anymore and I don't miss them at all, but I feel curious to see how well XP runs on a Mac.
On the other hand I fear to be at the doorsteps of the end of the virus-less Mac...

Optimal Quicktime Export Settings For Eventual Burning to Blu-Ray DVD

Hello. We currently have a huge backlog of FCP, FCE HD and iMovie HD projects created in 720p and 1080i formats. While we all await FCP and DVD Pro support of the 1080p Blu-Ray DVD burning, in the mean time, what are the optimal Quicktime Export settings to get best possible rendering of my existing FCP, FCE HD and iMovie HD in preparation for eventual transfer to Blu-Ray DVD for best possible viewing on my large screen LCD TV via Blu-Ray DVD player. I'd like to get to work exporting all my movies into the optimal Quicktime format in preparation for 1080p Blu-Ray.
For example, I have been creating FCE projects in a 1080i 60fps format. Once completed I typically have been exporting a "Full Quality" stand-alone movie. Is that what's optimal for the 1080p Blu-Ray DVD format, or something else? For example, what about interlacing? Should I be "de-interlacing" my outputted quicktime movies for better playback in the Blu-Ray 1080p format? What other things should I be considering.

Full quality sounds like you'll be safe. Keep in mind that WHEN DVDSP gets Blu-ray support, it will be able to do al the encoding itself. I do know that the next generation DVDs are using MPEG4 or VC1 compression instead of MPEG2 like standard DVDs are today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC-1 That being said, I don't believe that Compressor has a VC-1 encoder, but it definitely has H.264, so if you wanted to do the encode yourself, I guess you could pick that and be set. I would do some research on the technology behind Blu-ray and then base an encode on what you find. There's also MANY threads on here about this already, so Search is your friend and use it to get more info.
Good luck and don't forget to rate if this was helpful,

I want to burn a blu ray disc from PP CC 2014 and do not have the Encore application. Is there a way to do that?

I want to burn a blu ray disc from PP CC 2014 and do not have the Encore application. Is there a way to do that?

Here's a free non-Adobe solution as well. It's definitely got a steep learning curve compared to Encore, but from my understanding so far, it may also be more capable. (And it's still being developed, unlike Encore which is dead software.)

Trouble burning to Blu-Ray with PE 7.0

I have tried for the last few months to burn a 2 hour video to Blu-Ray. I ahve burned shorter videos to a rewritable blu-ray disc with success but this video is just barely over the max (24/sec) quality. Even when I shorten it to the hgih quality length it still freezes up and crashes. I have made each chapter a saved file, so there are only 40 files and two items on the menu (move & slideshow). I have tried all the trouble shooting and even called adobe support. After a couple of hours they suggested I increase my virtual memory to 8000/10000 I have a quad-core processor and 4 gigs of RAM running XP pro. I just want to burn to blu-ray and DVD and cannot. Is their a trick that I don't know or is this product just worthless when it comes to burning. I tried changing the names of my files from m2t to mpeg and that didn't work either. I am soooo frustrated...
I'm willing to try just about anything. Has their been any more luck with the new 8.0 version--it sure came out quick since 7.0

My original format is AVCHD. Since I had so many cuts/edits/transitions I saved wach chapter as a high def file (I think H.264 1920x1080i) It saved it as a xxx.m2t file. I then used those 40 files in one 2 hours movie. That is where I am having trouble. I have pretty much doen every trouble-shooting thing that they list and the closest thing I get to is a 16 hour-encoding process that fails at 98%. I have even sucessfully saved the entire 2 hour movie as one huge file, but I still can't get it to burn. Like I said I have been able to burn shorter movies successfully, but there is something wrong or different with this one. I have tried several different things to change it (probably 20-30 times) and it either crashes while encoding the 2nd of 6 menus or it "unexpectedly quit" I am so frustrated with this. I had great success with version 2.0 & 4.0 The only thing I haven't tried is burning my 7.0 project in 4.0 (I uninstalled it after 7.0) I think 4.0 burns to blu-ray but it won't edit avchd like 7.0 I am currently successfully burning (Fingers crosses) in 8.0 trial version and will be really upset with adobe if they simply fixed their product and I have to shell out another $100 because they didn't get it right when they first released it. Has anyone else had this many problems buring long projects. Like I said I reduced the size of the project down to full qulity (24.00/sec) and that still doesn't work. I'll try anything.

Can Disk Utility burn a Blu-ray ISO file?

This is a simple question to pose: assuming only the best of media and burner hardware (so that problems with those don't come into play), can Disk Utility reliably burn ISO images that represent a Blu-ray disk, complete with chapters and whatever else is contained on a Blu-ray disk?
Background
I'll be using Adobe Premiere to generate videos for burning to Blu-ray disk. There seems to be several ways for me to do that, and most of them seem to have problems:
1. From the completed Premiere project, I can jump into Adobe Encore and burn from there. But… many comments on the Adobe forum suggest that route may be problematic. No burn-speed control for instance. The Encore forum is full of people who don't use Encore's burning abilities, but instead use Toast or the PC equivalent.
2. Use Toast. I've just received a special offer form Other World Computing to buy Toast 11 Pro for $49. But… I've been put off buying Toast because of many poor reviews on Amazon. A handful of poor reviews I could ignore, but there are dozens.
3. Use Encore to generate an ISO image of my completed Blu-ray, then use Disk Utility to burn that ISO. But… there are websites in the internet jungle telling me I need to download their product to be able to burn Blu-ray ISO images on a Mac. On the other hand, there are reputable websites (here and here) that explain how to use Disk Utility to burn Blu-ray ISOs.
Basically, I'm confused. It seems to me that Encore > ISO > Disk Utility is the way to go, but I would like confirmation from Apple users that this route will work and is reliable. If not, maybe I should be buying Toast before the special runs out on 30 April.

First, I duplicated one of the links in my original post. The correct links are (1) and (2).
Thanks for the replies, but they haven't cleared up my confusion.
On the last page of the first link, lifted from the California Institute of the Arts website, clear instructions are given for using Disk Utility to burn a Blu-ray ISO.
Right at the bottom of the second link, lifted from the Drexel University website, similar instructions are given for using Disk Utility to burn a Blu-ray ISO.
Are both instructions incorrect in their basic assumption? When their students go to video lab to burn a Blu-ray, do the students find it can't be done?
This is really confusing. Toast gets very poor reviews, yet I've never had a problem with Toast 9. Two tertiary education sites tell me how to burn a Blu-ray with Disk Utility, but I've just received two responses which tell me it can't be done. I'm intrigued.

Issues burning compatible Blu-rays

I had some complaints that some of the Blu-rays which I recently produced in 1080i were not working on some Blu-ray players. In researching the issue I learned that many Blu-ray players require an AACS Folder in order to function. However, the Blu-rays produced by Premiere Elements 13 do not have that folder. Of course, firmware upgrades may fix the problem on the players, but one can't expect their customers to do that in many cases. Nor should they. Then I learn that one can burn an ISO to get the folder onto the disk. Of course when I try it, I find that it doesn't work on files bigger than 1.3 gigs. This is a huge problem and I have a job to get out. Is there a solution? This was a low budget job, done to line up some large jobs in May and June. This is the fourth generation of Premiere Elements and there is no reason there should compatibility issues of this sort. Please restore my faith in Adobe, I am in the process of likely converting to Lightroom an upgrading to full Photoshop from Elements, however at the moment I am very disappointed because I feel this issue is intentional.

Thanks for the reply.
Do not copy the CERTIFICATE Folder from the Premiere Elements burn to Blu-ray disc, only its BDMV Folder in the plan described above.
ImgBurn should generate the CERTIFICATE Folder....to be sure....
Tools Menu
Settings
Build Tab
Page 2
and look for the Blu-ray options and have a check mark next to them
....Create BDMV Folders
....Create CERTIFICATE Folder
My computer Blu-ray player plays
a. Premiere Elements burn to Blu-ray disc after burn to in Premiere Elements
b. The Premiere Elements BDMV + CERTIFICATE Folders with or without the AACC Folder
The following may be of interest

The AACC Folder may not be the answer. If not, is there anyway you can compile
player data for those reporting problems regarding playback of these discs?
We will be watching for further developments as your schedule permits.

Can not burn a Blu-ray disc

The problem: Can not burn a Blu-ray disc.
I open Premiere Elements 12 and load my project and then go to “publish and share” my project, I select "create Disc – Burn DVD, Blu-ray and AVCHD disc", I select "Blu-ray", the disc location and settings box opens and the “status” setting indicates "Media not present”. I know the Pioneer Blu-ray BDR-2208 drive works properly because I have already published regular DVDs in it and had no problems. I thought perhaps it was a problem with the initializing of the disc whether you choose (Mastered) as opposed to (Live File System). Neither works. I tired Phillips BD-R disc & Memorex BD-RE disc, neither works. The only thing I noticed was the burner location setting is indicating a Pioneer BDR-208M burner rather than a Pioneer BDR-2208 burner. Could this be the problem? Remember that burner will burn regular DVD's. Does Premiere Elements 12 require some other additional software on my computer to burn a Blu-ray disc? Also is there a list of compatible Blu-ray burners? BTW I am using Windows 8.1.

Attached is a screenshot of the dialog box that opens up when I place a regular DVD or Blu-ray in my desktop computer.
In order for me to burn a DVD project in premiere elements if I do not initialize the disc with the above procedure I receive a media not present in the settings box of premiere elements. I assumed I have to do the same thing with a Blu-ray too. I've tried following this procedure, also tried using the live file system. Also tried putting a fresh disc in without doing anything to it and always receive the media not present in the status setting. One suggestion has been that another program is interfering with premiere elements. I will also go out and purchase some Verbatim BD-RE disc, whether they work right now or not I can always use them later after I solve my problem.
I Have a lot of great suggestions from you guys and I really appreciate it. I'm going to work on some of those today starting with loading imgburn and see if I can indeed burn a Blu-ray disc with my system. I have already created a AVCHD BDMV file on my computer and I will start with trying to work with that and see if that is successful and then come back to premiere elements. I appreciate the input regarding Cyberlink software. I have version 8 (came with my Pioneer Blu-ray Drive) and was thinking about upgrading to the latest version but with your input regarding Power Producer I will save my money.
Another thought I had, with Blu-ray disc burners being as cheap as they are purchase one that has been proven to work with premiere elements 12.1. Time is money, the cost of a new Blu-ray burner is insignificant. I will consider this option later.

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.

ENCORE CS6 gives error message during the burning of Blu-ray Disc

I did it again - upgraded my Production Premium CS5 to CS6.
I will not forget CS4 that never came to work. It was not a workable version, but at best an Alfa or maybe Beta version.
I was therefore naturally afraid to upgrade my reasonably well functioning CS5 version, but did it anyway.
My fears kept unfortunately connectors. Audition CS6 scratchy and crunches a lot when I change Audio Device from MME to ASIO. It should be noted, that none of my other programs have this problem neither my Soundbooth nor Audition 5.5 which I fortunately still have installed. So it is only Audition CS6 that crunches with ASIO4ALL.
Encore CS6 is also a problem child. When I try to burn a Blu-ray Disc I get, in the final phase, following error message: Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M2S file"
Fortunately, I can open the project file in my Encore CS5, which do not have the same problem. Encore CS6 cannot be used as a standalone application - I still need to have a previous version installed to complete my projects. It is not fair.
Unfortunately I can see that many others have the same problem. Even worse, however, that Adobe still has not come with an update or fair solution of the problem - after so long.
It annoys me infinitely, I every time have to spend so much time on the Internet in an attempt to find solutions to remedy Adobe problems. These are programs I have paid dearly for - exactly twice as much as others living in the U.S. pay - just because I live in Europe.
If there is a user who has some useful suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
I must complain about my bad English.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jim,
ISO files also works for me, but that's not what I paid for.
So far I use just the previous version CS5, but hope at some point to get CS6 to work.

Has anyone burned 1080p blu-ray discs using Final Cut Pro alone?

I am in the market for a new computer. Currently I am a PC user who has burned Blu-Ray discs using Pinnacle. I am dissatisfied with that software because it hangs and crashes at critical moments in the rendering and burn process. I am considering switching to Mac but will only do so if I can burn true Blu-Ray movies which are playable in an ordinary Blu-Ray player.
I have read some of the discussions on this board and it is not clear to me whether it is yet possible to burn 1080p Blu-Ray discs playable on any Blu-Ray player using Final Cut Pro alone. Can someone confirm for me whether they have done this? Some users have indicated they can only output 720p using Final Cut Pro (which is not very satisfying). Others have indicated it is necessary to use Adobe Encore. If you have to use Adobe Encore to burn, why use Final Cut Pro at all? Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?

David S. wrote:
And yes you can author single track 1080p blu ray discs with Compressor 3.5.
But that's not what the OP asked, "using FCP alone."
Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?
Well, why not just put CS4 on your PC, especially considering you already have the BD hardware?
There is no truth to the rumor that applications running on Macintosh are any more stable than the same apps a PC; all systems crash.

Framerate problem after burning PAL Blu-ray

Hi folks, bit of a rookie here. Usually try to work my way around things but this is a new area for me and I'm a little stumped!
Basically I'm using Encore CS5 to burn a Blu-ray from footage rendered from Final Cut. The footage is from a Sony HDV camera that records 1440x1080 50i. After the transcoding and burning was succesful I found that while looking good the footage was playing at 50fps on both a PS3 and a Panasonic player. I've tried leaving the transcoding settings on automatic and setting them manually to 1440x1080i 25 High Quality MPEG-2, both times the framerate was running at 50fps. So am I missing something obvious here to get the Blu-ray to playback at 25fps? Thanks in advance for any contributions!

50i is still 25 fps
but if you want proper 25p you should upscale your material to 1920x1080 25p, and be shure the setting is no fields (progressive scan)
Good luck

Create Disc - Burn a Blu-Ray (or any disc) without re-encoding possible?

In short, I burned my first Blu-Ray recently using the compressor template job action. I noticed it used an app called Create Disc, but I also noticed that I have to re-encode my file every time I want to burn a new disc (after quitting compressor).
Is there anyway to burn a disc without re-encoding? I don't have Toast 10, but I do have a blu-ray burner in my Mac Pro. While we're at it, has anyone found an opensource app that can playback blu-ray discs?

Hi,
if you already have your h264 and ac3 encode files, you can try running Create disk and follow what Brian suggested to you in the other post.
What I suggested you is the way you can organize your data to burn multiple copies with your Blu ray burner.
But this is done going through the entire process in compressor, where you select your HDD as destination device so that you will end up having an IMG file to be burnt with Disk Utility (multiple times).
If by content saved to your HDD you refer only to those 2 files (h264 and ac3), then copying them to your BD won't work, as you need to author the disk properly, and that's what Create disk does when it either creates a BD directly or an image file.
Creating a Blu Ray is similar to creating a DVD: there is a specific format authored that you can't just copy files in there if you want to play that media using a DVD/Blu ray player.
Regards,
Armando.

Crash while burning to blue ray

While burning a blue ray disc it's getting all the way through the media encodeing but then crashes and does not finish burning the disc. For the heck of it I put the disc in my blue ray player and it will not recocnize the disc.
Also when I burn a standard DVD it will get to 96% complete and then I get an error that says that the target device is not compatible, but when I put the disc in a DVD player is plays just fine. Is there a problem here or should I just live with it?

For the moment here's some more information that may help. I had a real computer guru work on this computer, it's better then it was but I really feel that it just is not up to the task for video editing.
Hewlett-Packard Company
model; a6330f
processor; AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz
memory (RAM); 3.00 GB
system type 32-bit Operation System
And a great big sticker on the side from Hewlett Packard that says "The perfect computer to edit you pictures, video and music". Yeah right... From the start I could not get this computer to edit any video (it came with Microsoft Movie Maker), it would lock up every one or two clicks of the mouse. That's why bought the Adobe Premiere Elements 8 program, but it locked up too. At least now that my friend worked on it I can do some editing before it locks up, and now I can burn a standard DVD (it wouldn't do that before either, the verdict? HP installed pile of junk for a DVD drive so I updated it to Blue ray since I had to replace it). Now it will barely burn a DVD (see what I said about it above) and I don't have a prayer of getting a blue ray disk to burn. I tried it again today, it encodes all of the menues just fine and most of the media too. Right at the end the program just crashes and askes me to send in a crash report. Very frustrateing.
I really think that the biggest problem is that this computer just does not have enough processor, but I'm not very good with computers so I really don't know.
I need to read your article...

Burning to blue ray

If I'm burning a project to Blue ray I noticed a drop down box {and by the way I bought your book} with different presets ie H.264 1920 x 1080i or mpeg2 1920 x 1080i. Which one do I choose? I want the best Quality for my HDTV. 2nd Question. If I use the recommended process of burning to folders and combing clips for a hidef burn will that have in avi format all the quality I want to burn to blue ray.

Hey, thanks for supporting the book, Jerry!
You can choose either setting for BluRay and you should get excellent quality. Virtually all BluRay players can read either MPEG or MP4.
As for your second question, it sounds like you're asking you should output AVIs from each of your sequences and combine them into a final project for mix-down.
If so, that would work if you were working in standard DV. But you're working in hi-def -- so you want to output MPEGs. Go to Share/Output/Personal Computer and select the MPEG output, then go to Settings drop-down menu and select the HDV output option.
As long as you import these hi-def MPEGs into a project set to the HDV project settings, you should get excellent BluRay output from the mix.

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?

For those that burn to blue ray...
