HD DVD/Blu-Ray encoding

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me as I'm not too tech savvy but I'm willing to learn. I purchased Final Cut Express recently so that I could capture HD video from a Canon HV30 (AVCHD). Now, what I need to know as well as how to do it is this - when I'm done editing my project (which was captured at full res) is it possible to end up with a project in HD DVD and/or Blu-Ray format, if so, how?
I have a MacBook Pro (standard/superdrive dvd burner)
Final Cut Pro 5
Final Cut Express 4
DVD SP 4 (have barely used it)
Compressor 2 (I've never used it)
Currently downloading a trial version of Adobe Encore
I have a standard Sony dvd player/recorder
as well as a Sony Blu-Ray player (so ideally if I can end up with an encoded blu-ray dvd that would be great)
i also need an encoded hd dvd dvd because the person i'm having to hand to project to has a toshiba hd dvd player
If anyone can help you'd be much appreciated!!!

>Currently downloading a trial version of Adobe Encore
Older versions of Encore do NOT work with HiDef, and there is no such thing as a trial version of Encore CS3, which DOES work with HiDef files and BluRay authoring
You need to go out of the Lounge, to the regular forum, and read about BluRay authoring

  • How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

    Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
    How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
    I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
    Thank you in advance.

    You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
    You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
    Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
    That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.

  • HP DVDWBD TS-LB23L stopped detecting DVD/BLU-RAY

    Laptop info:
    HP Pavillion dv8-1190eo (5 months old)
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
    In the middle of watching a DVD movie, the player stopped working. The movie "froze", didn't start on its own, so I removed the DVD from the tray to check for scratches and dirt on the DVD (and found none but even cleaned it anyway). This was the last time the DVD/Blu Ray player worked. It has been possible to play a single audio CD but other than this, the device does not even detect that any CD/DVD/BLU RAY is in the tray. I have tried with approximately 12 different DVD's, including DVD's that it has played flawlessly before, including brand new DVDs and brandnew writeable DVDs.
    What happens on loading a disc in the tray is:
    1. it makes a sounds as if attempting to read the disc
    2. the small disc icon appears briefly next to the curser
    but nothing more. When checking START --> COMPUTER it shows the Blu-ray Disc-ROM-drive but it doesn't show that any disc is in the tray. When double clicking the drive, the tray opens with an "insert disc" message.
    With the aid of HP Phone Support over the phone, we have checked the registry to see if there were any conflicts (e.g. iTunes and similar). Everything was ok.
    Then we restored to an earlier point where the devise was working but to no avail.
    Then we downloaded the driver from HP's site and installed it, but to no avail. Upon a second attempt of installing the driver, we received an error message: "This software is for Windows Vista, Windows Vista WMC, Windows 7, Windows 7 WMC". According to HP Phone Support it is indeed the correct file for Windows 7 64 bit.
    I have also tried running HP Support Assistant to trouble shoot, but this is not working as it asks that I load a writeable disc to perform the test. It does not detect the writeable disc I put into the tray, so I cannot perform this test.
    According to device manager, the device is working properly.
    HP Phone Support's suggestion is that I make a complete restore. This means taking full backup of all data (which I should do anyway), restore, and then install everything I have on my computer again. I am not happy to do this as it is quite a bit
    of time consuming work. The other option is to let HP Support pick up the laptop and send it for repair and be without the computer for a minimum of 10 work days (which would easily be 3 weeks or more) which is not really an option for me.
    I can see from these forums that I am not the only one experiencing problems with the DVDWBD TS-LB23L, although HP Phone Support refuses that this is a "known issue".
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your fast reply.
    It is indeed HP warranty support that I have spoken with in length yesterday, and more briefly today. They give me the options between complete restore which they will guide me through over the phone (as stated above, this is a quite time consuming procedure with full backup, restore, then reinstall of all software, then backup copied back to laptop), or alternatively, to pick up the laptop and send it to repair which means I would be without computer for at least 2 weeks, but most likely 3 weeks or more - this is not an option to me as I don't have a spare computer, and there are obligations which I can't meet without a working computer at home.

  • How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

    So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

    You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
    There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.
    You need to understand these two help pages:
    Adobe Encore * Menu timing and looping

    I'm not sure what you mean by "interactive" unless you just mean creating navigation.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 H264 Blu-ray encoder does not do MBAFF interlace

    I have been testing the Premiere Pro CS6 H264 Blu-ray encoder with some HDV video 1440x1080i25 top field first and I have found that it always encodes as PAFF even when the MBAFF box is ticked. I analysed the stream with h264_parse and found that the mb_adaptive_frame_field_flag is set to 0 and that the pic_struct flag alternates between 1 and 2. These indicate that the encoder is using PAFF when the MBAFF flag is ticked.
    The CS5 encoder does work as it sets the mb_adaptive_frame_field to 1 and the pic_struct to 3 which is correct for top field first.
    There is another problem in that Premier pro does not recognise field order of correctly encoded MBAFF video. It reports tff video as progresive and bff as top top field first.
    MBAFF generaly gives higher quality pictures.
    Regards Trevor

    For obvious reasons I do not like to be constanly connected to the internet with my Video Edting PC.
    There are no 'obvious' reasons not to stay connected (if you know what you're doing), and in fact very good reasons to do so (more so if you're a Creative Cloud subscriber).
    Having said that, there is a way to get the PDF to come up when you hit F1, instead of the online help.  I just don't recall where that setting is.

  • In anticipating upgrading to Premiere Elements 13, I need to know what "gotchas" there might be in loading project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

    Particularly, can I load project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

    cbjameson
    What computer operating system is involved?
    There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version can be opened in a later one. Many times it can, but...
    If you do try this, then please consider working from a copy of the project 10 project file and then trying to open that in 13/13.1.
    Reason: projects created in an earlier version and then opened and edited in a later version cannot be opened again in the
    earlier version.
    And, there is always the issue of maintaining the connect of the source media with the project file. Is this move from 10 to 13/13.1
    happening on the same computer and are the source media in the same place where they were when they were first imported
    into the 10 project. Disc menus consideration may enter into this depending on your details.

  • Create Blu-Ray: Encodes and burns only small section of movie

    I have a late 2013 Mac Pro and I am trying to use compressor 4 to burn a Blu-Ray disc. My source is an Apple ProRes422 encoded Quicktime file (about 1h of video). After about 1 h of submitting the job, compressor displays the status as successful. When I test the disc, the beginning of the movie has indeed burned successfully but the disc contains only a short stretch of the movie. I check the encoded files and they are small (ca 300-500MB) which is telling me that only the beginning of the movie was encoded. How can I burn the whole movie onto a Blu-Ray successfully? What I am doing wrong?
    Furthermore, I have several movies that I would like to burn onto one Blu-Ray. How can I do that with compressor other than putting them all into one project in final cut pro and exporting the project to compressor?
    By the way all 8 movies burned successfully onto one Blu-Ray with Toast 11 using the same hardware. However, I would like to be able to achieve the same or better result with compressor 4.
    Thank you for your suggestions

    You are probably not doing anything wrong. The FCP X and Compressor discussion boards have multiple threads from users who are either getting no output from Blu Ray encoding projects - or they get strange results, like very low bit rates, regardless of the settings. Long projects seem more likely to be affected. If you haven't tried it already, see whether you can make a disk image, which Toast should handel without re-encoding.
    Not everyone has experienced these difficulties, but AFAIK, no one – on either forum – has come up with an explanation of why.
    One of the workarounds has been one that you're already using – Toast. Others have subscribed to Adobe CC Premiere to her the Encore download. One suggestion – apparently originating from an Apple support person – was to use a high bit rate MPEG2 setting.
    There have been several posts (from users) that Apple engineers are aware of the issue. I can't confirm that one way or the other.
    If you want to put multiple movies on a disk using Compressor or FCP X(assuming the larger issue is somehow overcome) you would need to bring the finished movies into an editing program (including quicktime Pro) as clips, assemble them on a timeline (or track), insert a gap clip and chapter markers and titles for navigation. That's because the process only allows for one track.
    The only other suggestion I can make is that if you have a system back up, then you can probably restore the previous versions of FCP X and/or Compressor. and use them for Blu Ray.
    Good luck.

  • HT204370 If I buy a movie on iTunes and burn it to a DVD can I get to to play in a DVD/Blu-ray player?  I haven't had much luck trying to do so.

    No you cannot.
    You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer.  You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

    A bientot

    Hi
    Je ne parle pas Francaise at all - so I guess that it's about Blu-Ray .
    I use Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl BD-component (now version 11) to do sort of Blu-Ray coding to standard DVDs - limit is about 20-30 minutes if quality is keept. It can also burn true Blu-Ray but then You need a BD-Burner and BD-disks.
    The DVDs with BD-code needs a Blu-Ray player to be played - I use a PlayStation 3

  • Blu Ray encoding using Compressor - successful replication

    Now that Compressor offers Blu ray encoding that apparently pass verification for Blu ray authoring has anybody actually used it and successfully sent a disc to be replicated??? What kind of results are you getting out of Compressor?
    Here's my thinking - as Apple seem to be absolutely NOT going to be offering a Blu ray authoring solution then (like many others) I am looking at Netblender's solution which has a proven track record. Now I can buy their authoring solution and also they now offer an encoding solution. Sweet...
    But what I was thinking was it is always useful to have a second encoder to hand - as Netblender can take encodes from Compressor. So just wondered what the results were like.

    There's apparently some question as to whether Compressor 3.5 encodes Blu-ray as well as Compressor 3.05. Sorry ;-(
    My contributors have reported that a Share... export from FCP7 provides far better encoding quality than the current version of Compressor 3.5
    However, in general, Compressor streams (AVC and Dolby Digital) have been verified as "stream compliant" using the standard BD pre-replication verifiers. HOWEVER - PLEASE NOTE THAT USING AC3 IN ADOBE ENCORE WILL RESULT IN A NON-VERIFIABLE PROJECT. Encore CS4 throws non-compliant ghost PGCs, which contain AC3 content that will NOT pass replication verification.
    Yes, they know about this... No, I don't know when there will be a fix offered.

  • Welches format für dvd / blu ray

    Hallo Forumgemeinde,
    hätte wieder mal eine Anfängerfrage!
    Wie bringe ich Welches Format auf eine DVD oder Blu-Ray Disc, damit ich
    mir meine Filmchen in bester Qualität über einen Blu-Ray Player Sony BDP S350
    oder über einen Sony DVD-Recorder RDR 205 auf meinem FullHD-Sony Bravia ansehen kann?
    Das Ausgangsmaterial ist von einer Sony HDR-SR12 (AVCHD) Bin im Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    unter Datei -> Exportieren -> Medien mit den Auswahlfeldern "Format" und "Vorgaben" etwas
    überfordert. Ich habe schon alle möglichen Formate versucht, die Daten auf meine PC-HD
    exportiert und dann auf DVD (als Daten-DVD) gebrannt. Bis jetzt hat noch keines der Formate
    funktioniert!
    Das Abspielen als WMV-Dateien über einen Vaio, verbunden mit einem HDMI-Kabel
    zum Bravia funktioniert auch nicht, da bekomm ich zwar ein Bild (in bester Qualität) rüber,
    aber keinen Ton ! (ohne HDMI-Verbindung läuft´s am Vaio ganz normal mit Ton, System-Töne
    des Vaio bring ich aber mittels HDMI-Kabel auf den Bravia rüber ! ? ! ? )
    Mein simpler Zugang wäre eigentlich:
    Filmen, Daten bearbeiten, im ???-Format auf die PC-HD exportieren, auf DVD /Blu-Ray brennen,
    rein in den S350 oder RDR 205 und die Filmchen genießen.
    Was mache ich falsch - ich würde mich freuen, wenn mir jemand Tipps geben könnte.
    Liebe Grüße aus Wien

    Hallo Gerda,
    Du machst einen Denkfehler.
    Um einen Film von einer DVD oder Bluray abspielen zu können muß er in eine bestimmte Datenstruktur gebracht werden - man nennt es authoren. Dafür ist das Authoring-Prg ENCORE zuständig, das bei Premiere dabei ist.
    Nimm Dir ein Stündchen Zeit und lies im Handbuch nach, wie es funktioniert.
    Es sind Grundlagen der DVD-Erstellung.

  • Problems with IQ810UK DVD Blu Ray Drive

    Hi - My IQ810uk is only a few weeks old and I'm having trouble already...
    My DVD / Blu Ray drive is playing up....  It seems really tempremental.  I put purchased Audio CD's in and they are not recognized every time.
    Also, I'm trying to import my cd's into iTunes but they nearly always get stuck on track 7 or 8.  I have not had one cd import correctly yet!  It just seems a bit of a coincedence that it stops on the same tracks.
    I tried the same cds on my old pc and they worked first time.  Its as if the drive gets to a certain point on the disc and then stops.
    I'm really disappointed with this PC - never had so many problems with a new computer - especially one that cost £1500!

    i suspect your itunes is a bit dodgy, only because you don't see the same issue when playing the same music in WMP....  however also sounds to me your drive might not be functioning all that well - you might want to check the windows event logs for any system errors that relate to the dvd drive, if there are errors then probably best to call HP Support, I'd say call HP Support regardless as it does sound like the dvd drive is playing up...
