Generated file to burn blu ray; all good except for...

I generated a .mov file last night (about 7Gb) for my video and burned it (via Toast 10) to a blu ray disk. No problems. went smooth.
except i watched it this am... and after 1.5 minutes, the audio is out of sync with the video (audio is ahead by at least 6 seconds). I haven't yet gone back to the .mov file i made to verify that it's in there too, but i'm guessing that it is.
the ONLY thing i did that i don't normally do (shame on me) is that i turned on "turn on de-interlacing". I don't normally do that but i figured what the heck... would this cause that?
thanks
Dennis

Well, much to my surprise, the export file is fine. in perfect sync. the ONLY other thing i can think of is when i was burning the blu ray disk, i did do some printing off of the same machine.. i wonder if that stole some cycles and threw off the sync.. .does that make any sense?
at this point, i guess i'll try it again and make sure that nothing else is going on when i burn the disk.
for your info, my settings are: HDV720p30, key frames every 24frames, data rate restrict to 6400 kbits/sec, size is HD 1280X720. as i said, i had "de-interlace" on, but i'll turn it off this time, and make sure that nothing else is running including time machine, printing, etc..

Burning Blu-Ray: Sometimes successful / Sometimes not

I've been burning Blu-rays for the last couple of days. After a couple of burns, I get this message:
But, here's the deal:
I do indeed have a disk in the burner
I can't eject said disk (so the computer may "find it") without dismounting...
If I do unmount the burner, FCPX starts the burn process all over... with the same above message
A "cycle" ensues... until I restart--not just the app--but the computer.
Then... I'm good for a couple of burns before the cycle starts again.
Trouble shoots:
I've tried this across TWO different burners--two different brands, one NEW out of the box. Same result.
This has happened across TWO different projects in the same library
Anyone have any ideas?

HOW LONG TO BURN BLU RAY VIA COMPRESSOR 3.5?

Does anybody know the ballpaerk figure as to how long a 115 minute FCP 7 project exported to self contained movie and brought into Compressor 3.5 to burn a blu ray disk on an external blu ray writer will take? Is Roxio Toast any faster? Thanks much for your help.

This is getting more interesting by the minute. I have now set the project up as two blu ray DVD's -each around 72 minutes. When I go to 'send to compressor' from fcp 7, if I select HD DVD 90 minutes (assume that is the correct method as there is no 'blu ray' option) and then set Job Action to Blu Ray, I get the message with that nice little yellow triangle warning stating: "Cannot create Blu Ray disc as no target that is either mpeg 2 video elementary stream or H.264 stream". The fcp project in compressor is dolby digital prof. 2.0 and HD H.264 6.75 mbps.
I'm obviously doing something wrong here(?)
The HD DVD presets create files that are usable in DVD Studio Pro for making HD DVD's - not for authoring Blu-ray discs.
Here's what you need to do:
Create a new preset from "H.264 for Blu-ray".
Leave the video format and frame rate set to automatic, but lower the bitrate down to 20 Mbps with a max of 25 Mbps.
Then add a Dolby Digital Audio track as a second target.
Under job action set to create blu-ray disc but save it to the hard drive rather than trying to burn directly. (I know this an annoying extra step but there's been issues reporting with burning Blu-ray/AVCHD discs over 10 minutes in length.)
This will get it onto a single disc and 20 Mbps h.264 will still look pretty good.

"Could not create ac3" error when burning Blu-ray

I've spent the last week designing a Blu-ray in Encore CS5. Upon burning, I was given the error message "Cannot create '_sessionfiles_Dsf_session_1_audio.ac3", and the burn failed (after going for seven hours). I really don't even know where to begin with this. The Blu-ray is about 80% full (20 GB) and includes multiple timelines and several menus (one of which has audio). No pop-ups. It should be a fairly straightforward project. However, it's given me problem after problem and has taken way too much time. Can anyone offer insight before I spend another week tracking down the problem? Thanks.

In the last few days, things have gone from bad to great and back to bad, and it's been non-stop work. I freed up a ton of space on the computer and backed it up. Then the computer gave me a kernel panic, which happened so often that I had to restore the whole computer. I don't know if that's related to the Encore issue. Then I tried to burn again, and it seemed to be working until it gave me an error message that said "Blu-ray Error: 'device error', code '3', Note: ". So I looked around online and decided to export as an ISO disc image file. That worked fine. Then I tried burning a Blu-ray using third-party software, which failed halfway through. Next I tried burning using Disc Utility. It got all the way to the end and said "Could not verify" and failed. I tried playing it in my Blu-ray player anyway. For the first time, it actually worked. The movie and the Scene Selection menu work fine. But when I try to go to Special Features, nothing happens. The Blu-ray is supposed to go to the Special Features menu at the end of the main movie, but it just goes to a black screen after that and locks up. Now I'm really lost. Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Videos show up as black screen on burned blu-ray

I've just created a blu-ray project with about 20 timelines. I created an 35GB ISO file which I burned to a dual layer BD-R disc. Everything seems to work fine when I play it back on a blu-ray player except for 6 videos/timelines. They play as a black screen and it seems to freeze up the player for a few seconds as I can't press the menu button to get back to the menu for a while. All the files were created in Media Encoder with the exact same settings, so I don't think it's a compression settings problem. All the files are different formats so I know it's not a format issue -- the black screen videos are 1080i, 1080p, and 480i, and the videos that work are 1080p, 1080i, 480i, and 720p. I'm recompressing the offending videos at the moment hoping that something went wrong there, but between that, building the project, and burning, a new disc won't be ready for a few hours. Does anyone have any advice in the meantime?
On a related note, I've recently started getting an internal error 11 on some of builds, but I don't remember what file it was having trouble finding.

The navigation is a simple list with buttons, each one linking to a single timeline. All timelines except for one have only a single audio and video asset. The videos themselves are an assortment of formats, 480i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, but the ones showing up as black are not a single format, so that can't be the issue. All were compressed in Media Encoder with the default Blu-ray H264 setting (I also checked render maximum depth and use maximum render quailty on them all). The original sources are quicktime reference files from Avid Media Composer. Encore says that none of the files need to be transcoded for blu-ray, and they all play in Encore's preview.
I've been creating a BD disc image so far. I did try to create a BD folder, but that was when I was getting the error 11.
Thanks for any help...

Burning blu-ray discs

Here at the office we're running all macs with Final Cut Studio 2. We want to be able to encode for blu-ray and also burn blu-ray discs. I know we need an external burner, but does our current software support blu-ray?

Or Netblender's DoStudio for rather less money. PC based but we successfully run it on a Mac in Bootcamp. Just completed our first full featured Blu Ray and sent for replication.
If you know DVD-SP well then learning curve not too bad and they have very good support and forum.
If you just need to 'dump' hi def material to Blu Ray then FCP and/or Toast may prove to be enough for your needs

Trying to burn Blu-ray on Power PC G5

Does anyone make a Blu-ray video authoring software program that does not require an Intel processor? I'm trying to use Roxio's Toast 10 with BD/HD Plug-in but is is not working.
I have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) with 10 GB of Ram and Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6.0.4)
My Blu-ray burner is a LaCie d2 Firewire drive.

My Toast 10 now works in burning Blu-ray video. I've learned from other posts that there was a problem when I updated to QuickTime 7.7 in that certain video file types were no longer recognized. Unfortunately you just can't install an earlier version over the newer version the traditional way.
I've learned however that there is a way to install an earlier version of QuickTime (in my case QT 7.6.4 without completely re-loading the Operating System software (Leopard for me).
There's a Shareware program called Pacifist which takes elements from the earlier QuickTime installer and replaces the newer versions problem files. The QuickTime version # still says your current version but the elements have changed. See this link for how to do this:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
After rebooting, the QuickTime Player (and more importantly Final Cut Pro) supported all the video files. Toast 10 still had a problem until I trashed the Toast plist and pref files in the User>Library>Preferences folder and then re-installed Toast 10.0.9. Now everything works!
I still want to buy a better Blu-ray authoring program because the menus in Toast are so basic.

Best way to burn Blu-ray if transcoding is already done? Toast 10?

I've seen the answer to this question in the past, but just spent some time searching the forums and couldn't find the answer.
I currently choose the route of FCP > Share to burn Blu-rays. No problem, everything's good (except limited menu options). However, once I close out of the program after the very long transcoding time, what is the best way to make another copy of the blu-ray without transcoding again, and without the first blu-ray I made (for example if the client already has the disc and wants another copy)?
I believe Toast 10 is one answer, but before I go and update my current Toast to 10 I wanted to see if this was the preferred method, or, if there is a way to do it in Compressor.
Thank you!
Eric

In the ~Library, Application Support>Apple Qmaster you'll find Create Disk. Open it. If your project is on the recently opened list, you can burn additional copies that way.
Or consider saving your file as a disk image; choose Hard Drive as Output Device. Pretty sure Toast will take an img file. Or use Disk Utilities.
Good luck.

What do i need to burn blu-rays?

Hello everyone. I'm new to Final Cut Pro, and Macs in general, so please bare with me. I'm a film student, and recently purchased a Canon XH-A1s and a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro 6 to jump start my video production business.
My only problem is that i only have the ability to produce HD video, so when it comes to distribution, DVD is really not an option. I've heard with an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7 that you can finally burn Blu-Rays without a third party application, just wondering if that was true.
I was planning on upgrading to Final Cut Pro 7, and purchasing an external, USB Blu-Ray read/write drive. Should everything work ok if i go down that route?
Thanks everyone,
-Billy

The Mac does not come with a Blu-ray burner. So you would be burning a Blu-ray compatible file to a standard DVD-5 or DVD-9. Neither of which are ideal for authoring Blu-ray content.
Do an exhaustive search online about Blu-ray authoring and disk creation. This is not something for the hobbyist video creator (and I say hobbyist in the sense that you're not creating thousands of copies for mass distribution, so no one take offense.)
Blu-ray is expensive and requires a lot of planning and prep to do it right. But you can't burn an official Blu-ray disc on a Mac as they stand. And, Compressor doesn't burn discs, it only creates files. DVD Studio Pro would be the app that would burn the Blu-ray disc, and DVDSP has not been upgraded since long before Blu-ray came on the scene.

Can Leopard burn blu-ray data disc?

Leopard defines types for Blu-ray discs in the header for the disc recording service.
Can Leopard burn a blu-ray data disc?

Since no Mac ships with Blu-Ray drives built-in, there's no automatic support for Blu-Ray.
However, there are several third-party applications that support burning Blu-Ray disks, including Toast.
Many after-market Blu-Ray vendors ship a copy of Toast with their burners (after all, what's the use of the burner if you can't write data to it? )

Has a stop marker any function when burning blu-ray discs with Premiere Elements 12?

Stop marker when burning blu-ray discs with Pre 12. Does it works?

Amiral
No.
This applies to Premiere Elements any version.
Stop markers placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc are not recognized at playback of that disc using the Blu-ray player.
If you need Blu-ray disc with stop markers, you can export your Premiere Elements Timeline content to an appropriate file type that will be compatible with a 3rd party software which will get the job done. I have heard that a software such as DVD Architect can do that, but I have not been there and done that.
Stop markers function at playback of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc only. And, never place a stop marker at the end of the last item on that Timeline.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Add On...I have found that the situation is the same for stop markers and AVCHD on DVD and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.

CS4 for burning Blu-rays?

I'm thinking about upgrading from CS3 to CS4 and was wondering if the Encore CS4 was more reliable for burning blu-rays than CS3. I have been receiving all sorts of errors that have been driving me nuts.
I'm using a Matrox Axio LE with windows XP.

Of course a single movie would be broken up to compress in smaller parts. It's called segmented processing. It's what Qmaster does when you set up a distributed processing network. But you need more than one computer to make it worth while, and they have to be networked on, minimum, a gigabit network, but preferably on a faster Fibre network.
The problem that comes with job segmenting is if you use a variable bit rate, because the bit rate information isn't shared between/amongst the nodes. If you use a CBR, you're all set, but like I said, it won't matter unless you have more than one computer, and you're limited by the slowest computer in the chain, as well as the network.
If you use less than a gigabit connection, the time it takes to transfer the information to and from the cluster controller, and then reconstitute the final video is more than the time it would take to just do it on a single computer.

MacPro will burn dvds but won't burn blu-rays anymore?

I've been using Compressor (ver. 3) to burn blu-rays and dvds of my movie for several months just fine. A few days ago after opening my blu-ray project in Compressor it did the usual: tray opens and it says "Please insert blu-ray media…" I put a blank disk in (the same kind I've been using all along) and pushed the keyboard eject button to close the tray but it didn't move. I manually pushed the tray closed and I could hear it spin up several times and then it spit the disk back out. I repeated this several times with no luck. I tried different blu-ray media (didn't work). I tried burning a dvd and it DID work, so I'm thinking it's not the blu-ray drive. However I tried burning with Disk Utility and it wouldn't work. I also tried to make a blu-ray burn folder and it wouldn't work. It doesn't make sense that it can burn dvds but not blu-rays.
I'm not sure what else to do. I haven't upgraded (still on Lion). Would upgrading to Mavericks fix this? Everything's been working great so I didn't want to upgrade and mess it all up. I fear taking it to an Apple Store will cost more than purchasing a new blu-ray burner.
Any thoughts or advice? Thank you for your help!

Upgrade to Yosemite.

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

Is my hl-dt-st bddvdrw gbc-h20l capable of burning Blu Ray discs (BD-R)?

Hello. I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9470 Desktop PC with an hl-dt-st bddvdrw gbc-h20l drive running Windows 7 Ultimate (the pc came originally with Vista). For the first time I tried to burn a Blu Ray disc BD-R in fact. When I loaded the disc into tray, the pc started trying to read the disc, without success for endless minutes. In fact the door could not open even manually - I had to restart the system to take the disc out.
I always thought that the specific drive was capable of not only reading but also burning Blu Rays - could someone let me know? Is it a matter of appropriate software?

You're welcome.
Click on support & driver links on the HP site, enter the complete model # of the PC, you will see a links for information pertaining to your PC, like: HP Pavilion Elite m9470gr Desktop PC Product Specifications
