H.264 MVC for 3d blu ray

h.264 MVC for 3d blu ray: there are some way for encoding the 3d stereo video with apple computers/software?
alessandro

You can make side-by-side 3D content for certain types of 3D TVs (that will play side-by-side), to play through Blu Ray Player (can use standard DVD though!). Need FCP 7. "Share" feature for Blu-Ray.

Best format to export to Encore for a Blu-Ray disc ?

To All
My question is I shoot with a Canon Vixia HFR21. I am putting together a family vacation we all just had at Disney World. My computer is capable of handling everything very well.I had it built 2 years ago by ADK.I need to know once I have everything set on timeline and all is ready to export, what exact setting in Media Encoder would be best considering I will be bringing it then into Encore to burn on Blu ray disc.
I have Adobe cs6 Premiere and Encore.
Also after I make the Blu ray I will put exact same time line on regular dvd..from what I read for that I think I should export to mpeg-2 ..I'm not sure .
Also for both blue ray and dvd, which is better ipcm or dolby digital audio ?
Thanks a lot,
Ray Perry

Hi Ray,
From Premiere, export via AME and choose the "H.264 Blu-ray" format, and then for preset, get what best matches your footage, for instance maybe 1080i 29.97
You will need to choose a bitrate in line with the length of the program so that you don't exceed the disc capacity. Just search the web for "bitrate calculator" and plug in your details. No need to be in the 30-40 range, something like 25 using H.264 will look fantastic. I believe at "20" you can fit well over 2 hours on a Blu-ray disc. Dolby audio is the default.
For DVD, again Export via AME but choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and proper preset like "NTSC Widescreen", and set bit rate. Don't exceed 7 or 8 on that, and you can use 560/minutes=rate as a rule of thumb and round down slightly. For instance 560/120=4.66 so I encode at 4.5, again using default Dolby Audio.
I'm not keen on sharing the same Encore project for the Blu-ray and DVD, but that's up to you. Note that you can add DVD chapter marks in your Premiere timeline and when you export, those go with. In Encore, use "Import As > Timeline" and grab the audio and video clip at the same time and the chapter marks come along for the ride!
Thanks

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.

Can I use a WRT54GX2 as wireless bridge for my Blue Ray to an E1000 wireless router?

I recently replaced my WRT54GX2 router with an E1000 for networking in my home. I now have a Blu-Ray disk player, and thought I may be able to use the old WRT54GX2 to wirelessly bridge a network connection for the Blu-Ray. I am having trouble fignuring out how to configure it, if possible at all. Any help would be appreciated

A WRT and a E1000 are wireless routers, i.e. router with an integrated wireless access points. They accept client connections. They don't connect to other access points. They always require a wired connection to your main network.
Running a wire is the best solution anyway, in particular for video streaming and similar.

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.

Export 1080 x 1440 to HD stream for later blu ray authour

This might be more of a compressor question really but whats the best way to export 1080 x 1440 to HD stream for later blu ray authour.
In compressor I have 2 settings, 1 is a 60 min h264 HD. Is this what I should use so I can make a Hi Def master when the time comes?
Daz

Have the same problem. My solution: If you don't need advanced authoring, simply buy Toast 9 with HD plugin, export your footage from FCP as Apple ProRes and drag to Toast - it will do all the encoding in h264 (no more MPEG2)... My problem with this workflow is, that Toast supports only 2 channels of audio, so I'm going to but DVDit HD, which supports LPCM 7.1. Then I export as ProRes from FCP, make h264 BD compactible stream in Toast and make the authorization in DVDit HD... This is the best solution I figured out (I need 7.1 surround)...

Encore a good choice for authoring Blu-ray videos with complex menus?

I currently use FCP X for editing videos of live band performances. I have been dissapointed in Toast Titanium for aurthoring the resulting Blu-ray videos because of the limited menu options.......I will often have 30 separate videos on a Blu-ray disk (one per song).
I am considering buying Premiere Pro CS6 to obtain Encore because I have been told it provides more complex menu options.
(1) Are you happy with Encore for aurthoring Blu-ray videos?
(2) Would I also need to buy After Effects?
I ask the 2nd question because I have watched an excellent "Authoring with Adobe Encore" tutorial here:
http://www.precomposed.com/tutorials/products/pro_motion_menu_kits/Encore_Authoring/
These folks offer some nice looking Menu Kits
http://www.precomposed.com/products/pro_motion_menu_kits/
but they use After Effects as well as Encore.
Thanks for the help.

CS3 "Come for the blue-ray stay for the flash" crashing (MY SOLUTION)

Hello everybody,
I had some serious trouble starting up Encore CS3 in WinXP. Seeing the "Come for the blue-ray stay for the flash" -message and then Encore CS3 closing up. As for someone else in the forums, starting Adobe Version Cue before trying to start Encore solved the problem.
Now a year later, I faced the same problem with Vista 64bit and with totally different hardware. For many people unplugging certain USB-drives or devices has solved the problem, but for me it didn´t help, neither in XP nor Vista. I remembered the solution from XP and started up Adobe Bridge CS3, then chose "Version Cue" -> "Start server". This action opens up a browser and asks for server information. I inserted nothing, tried to start Encore CS3 and it worked!
Hope my experiences will help some of you who are struggling with the same problem.

OMG, thanks so much for this solution... I have searched high and low for a solution, and I have also tried reinstalling countless times. My only question is do you have to start that server every time you start up encore? Also do you know what is causing this to happen that you need to start the server?

CS4: maximum buttons for a blu-ray project

Hi,
I've a project with 6 languages (about 180 Buttons each language).
I burned it as a normal SD-DVD. No problems there.
But when I tried to burn it as a BD I get a error message.
The Original message is german and could look more or less like this in english:
Blu-ray-Object: "<Button>Menu/1", Error: "Counter overflow", Code: "2", Message: "maximum 999 titles per project (Spec Annex B)"
Does that mean that you can use a maximum of just 999 Buttons for a blu-ray project? Or what else could that mean?
If I can just use 999 Buttons how should I realize a project with more Buttons? I mean, 1k Buttons are not unusual for a Service-DVD.
Greetings from Germany
Christoph

This Encore FAQ Entry lists the supported BD formats in Encore.
Good luck,

Creating assets for a Blu-Ray disc

I'm working from a 1080p timeline in Final Cut. I've selected Quicktime H.264 for Blu-ray, but which audio format do I need to select?

Exporting an FCE project for HD Blu-ray

I am new to FCE (and HD video). I have a video camera that is set up to export video in AVCHD h.264. The resolution is 1080x60i (1920x1080 pix at 29.97fps). The video bit rate of the recording appears, according to Canon's literature, to be 17MB/s (although this bit rate seems too slow given the amount of data that has to be transferred). The audio is Dolby stereo at 48KHz sampling rate, 192Kb/s bit rate.
I have transferred the video into FCE and completed my project. I would now like to create a Blu-ray disc of equal quality to the raw video data. That's my goal anyway.
I understand that FCE cannot export AVCHD h.264. However, it does seem to be able to export using the MPEG-4, h.264 codec. Aren't these one and the same? I have tried to export via;
Export->Using Quick Time Conversion...;
Format=MPEG-4; Options;
File Format=MP4,
Video;
Video Format = H.264,
Data Rate = 17000 (kb/s),
Image Size = 1920 x 1080 HD,
Optimized for = CD/DVD-ROM,
Frame Rate = 29.97,
Key Frame = Automatic;
Video Options,
Restrict Profile to = Main,
Encoding Mode = Best Quality
Audio;
Audio Format = AAC-LC(Music),
Data Rate = 192 kb/s
Channels = Stereo
Output Sample Rate = 48 kHz,
Encoding Quality = Best.
I suspected the conversion from AIC would take a while. In fact, about 25 hours in, it created a file error. So I restarted the export with the bit rate reduced from 17 Mb/s down to 7 Mb/s. It finished the conversion in a little over 24 hours. Does anyone know why it crashed at 17Mb/s? Just as a sanity check, are these export times about right?
I then burned a Blu-ray disc on a LaCie d2 Blu-ray burner via Toast Titanium 10. The MPEG-4 file generated by FCE was about 800 MB, while the Blu-ray compatible file created by Toast was about 9.5GB (more believable). Also, looking at the file statistics in Finder, it says the Total bit rate is 1,949 . Any ideas as to why the size difference (compression differences)? Did FCE really output the MPEG-4 file at 1,949 Kb/s or KB/s? Bottom line, given the above, will I achieve my goal of maintaing original video quality given the above work path?
Thanks.

Why don't you just export from FCE to QuickTime Movie (not QuickTime Conversion). That would give you a QT Movie in Apple Intermediate Codec at the full resolution of your video. You would import that file into Toast for burning. Toast will take care of the encoding burning to blu-ray.

Hardware recommendations for encoding Blu Ray

What Is the best 3rd party hardware solution to encode Blu Rays from FCP or Compressor?
Thanks.

Hi Rick
The CompressHD / Matrox MAX solution is currently purposed for encoding BluRay compliant H.264 files for personal or otherwise low volume Blu Ray authoring (ie either one by one or via duplication) ... high volume authoring / replication is indeed a whole other ball game and with it come some not insubstantial costs over and above what you may be used to with standard DVD replication:
$500/yr (or a $3000 one time payment) for the license (ie to be allowed in the BD replication club)
$500 per master (so if anything's wrong with your master then making another costs another $500)
+ a 4c royalty fee per disc
Bear in mind that these costs exist despite how you premaster the BD CMF (BluRay Disc Cutting Master Format) ie the replication compliant master volume.
If you are a Mac stalwart, Rivergate Software's very reasonably priced BluStreak Premaster software looks to be where its at for premastering the MD CMF volume.

Workflow for AVCHD -- Blu-Ray

I have a Canon Vixia HFS100 that I've been using for personal video. The camera can shoot 1080/60i or 1080/30p. I've been shooting 30p. I'm looking for comments on my current work flow, which is:
1. Shoot video in 30p.
2. Log and transfer into FCP from AVCHD folder using ProRes 422.
3. Place in sequence set to 1920x1080, aspect ratio HDTV1080i, square pixel, no field dominance, 29.97 timing.
4. Edit then send to Compressor
5. Compressor settings are H.264 for Blu-Ray, stream usage Blu-Ray, frame rate 29.97, average rate about 17 MBps, 25 MBps max, frame controls off
6. Burn in Toast or Encore
The result looks very good, but I wonder if it could be better or if I'm forgetting something.
Also, the result is almost "too good", meaning there is almost too much detail on the screen for the eye to get, so sometimes the image is wearying to watch, unlike a Blu-Ray film which is detailed yet smooth. Is there a way to "smooth out" the video? Reduce frame rate to 24 or some such?

Rob Reuland wrote:

LOL. Isn't that the point of HD; Quality? If I wanted less detail I'd probably shoot at a lower definition or add a slight blur to the footage on your timeline...
If I wanted less quality, I'd just tie a cam to my head and shoot in SD.

Best workflow for burning Blu-ray and DVD

Hi,
What's the best workflow for effciency sake for burning both a Blu-ray and a DVD of the same project?
Essientially I'd like to export and create a menu once, then be able to downrez to DVD. However, I'm not sure that is possible since blu-ray and DVD are differnt codecs.
Thank you

The only way that you can get acceptable re-scaling of menus is to go from BR to DVD, and do the editing in Photoshop. Simply re-scaling the menu here will not give acceptable results.
I usually copy the various button layers from the BR menu to a new DVD menu file created using the provided Photoshop preset. You will still have to do some manual re-scaling and alignment. The thing that has given me the most trouble over the years is round button highlights - a segment is often chopped off. Font sizes will probably need adjusting too.
Unless you are adept with handling layers and groups within Photoshop, it may be easier to start again.
Any attempt to convert within Encore is unlikely to produce acceptable menus in my experience.

Although the answer is going to be the same, I would prefer to know what version of Premiere Elements is involved and on what computer operating system it is running in order to get version specific when necessary without requesting the information later than sooner.
Not sure what you mean by
The idea is that whenever the Blu-Ray comes up, it always shows the beginning 25-second sequence, then always goes to a menu that says "Play Movie" and "Scene Menu" or something to that effect
Stop markers do not function in the playback of Premiere Elements (any version) Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. They do in the playback of Premiere Elements (any version) DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc.
You would have to find another video editor for that purpose or export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and then taken into another program for menu creation (with a stop marker like feature) and burn to disc there. You would need to determine ahead of time what formats the other program support.
Blu-ray burn to project
If you have 9 scenes and place scene markers for each
a. the viewer can select any one of the scenes from the scene selection page
b. with or without stop markers, it will be the same at playback of the Blu-ray disc, example
if the viewer selects scene 5 from the scene selection page, playback will be scenes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with automatic
return to the main menu
if the viewer selects scene 1 from the scene selection page, playback will be scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with automatic
return to the main menu
