Help me burn my 1080p/60 footage to Blu-Ray...

I have a Sony HX9V that I used for our vacation. I recorded in the highest mode (PS, 28mbs) which is 1080p/60. I re-wrapped the clips with clipwrap so they could be read by Final Cut Pro X. I have a project with the settings of 1080p with 60 fps. I know that if I try to burn as a Blu-Ray it will drop my frames down to 24p which I do not want. I've heard you can make a playable Data Disc with 1080p/60 videos on it to be played in a PS3.
What would be the workflow for this? Or is there another way to get 1080p/60 videos onto a Blu-Ray to be played in the PS3.
My guess (and it's just that, a guess), would be to Click Share and Export Movie, so it exports as a self-contained movie. Then open Quicktime and convert the mov to a MP4, then burn with Toast 11?
I want the quality to be as close to the original as possible. I love the smoothness of the 1080p/60 video from the camcorder and want to try to duplicate that on BD.
Thanks in advance!

wrong assumption.
'Disks' (BR/DVD) are completely different encoded than the stuff in your timeline.
To keep things simple, the rule is:
length matters, not size.
A single-layer DVD with maximum quality settings fits ~60min of video.
And, due to standards, is always SDef.
Same disk fits ~20min of HDef in a sort of BluRay-standard = you can burn a BluRay-structure onto DVD-r ... not fully compatible, but for 'quick'n dirty'.
Same DVD-r fits only a minute as 'data' from your timeline, which probably is encoded in proRes = ~40GBs/h ......
forget size ........ think of hh:min:sec

  • 1080p 50 footage to Blu ray appears to convert to either 1080p 25 or 720p 50 is Share FCPX  or Compressor

    Has anyone been able to burn 1080p 50 footage to Blu ray, I can only seem to create a file of 1080p 25 or 720p 50 in either FCPX or Compressor 4 as the 50 option is greyed out in 1080p. As far as I can tell most blu ray players can handle AVCHD 1080p 50, even after the latest upgrades this still does not work. The footage is on the time line and project properties are correct.

  • How to burn LOTS of SD footage to Blu-ray disc?

    I've got about 17 hours of youth soccer games in SD that I'd rather put on 2 Blu-rays than 8 or 9 DVDs.
    PE8's Blu-ray presets are all for Hi-def or close to it. I would assume PE10's presets are similar, no?
    blu-ray.com and PE10's Help page both say BD can hold 10 hours of SD video, which is why I'm holding out hope that software exists to put it there...
    Ideas?

    It appears you can do it with DVD Architect Studio ($39 from Sony), but you've got to have the file properties set up for BluRay disc media and standard resolution MPEG.
    This type of disc will not, of course, play on a DVD player. You'll need to play it on a BluRay player that, hopefully, will recognize it as DVD files burned to a BluRay disc.
    This is not how the media is designed to be used, so it might be worth doing a test run to see if it works at all before you invest hours of work and transcoding into it.

  • Will Adobe Encore CS4 burn MTS files to an external blue ray burner if I buy one?

    Will Adobe Encore CS4 recognize/burn MTS files to an EXTERNAL blue ray burner if I buy one?

    Internal vs external should not matter.
    I have a burned to external with CS4, but it was a long time ago.
    And most importantly, Encore is not a reliable burner for many users, and they, and I, use imgBurn rather than Encore to burn.
    Also, "burn an MTS" file is totally different from authoring and burning. Encore (was it by CS4?) added a limited AVCHD passthrough option. I have not used it.

  • Please Help! 5D footage to Blu-Ray!!

    Ok...I'm trying to finish a project, shot on the Canon 5D Mark II 1920x1080 30p, transcoded to pro-res, edited in latest FCS. I want to author it to Blu-Ray via Encore. I see that Encore only supports 23.986 framerate for progressive footage. How do I go about conforming it. It's a 5 minute program with interviews, and music.
    Please help!!

    Here is the list of Encore's supported BD formats, from the Encore FAQ's.

  • Best approach to convert HD camcorder footage to blue-ray (and archive)

    I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder that I have used to take HD footage.  I would like to archive the tapes' raw footage (for backup purposes) and also burn a blue-ray for each tape.  Prior to the Canon (and switching to Macs) I had been using Studio on a Windows system to do the same for footage from a standard def Sony camcorder.  Despite reading through the material on this forum and elsewhere I am confused about a couple of items and am hoping someone can help me understand how to archive and burn the camroder footage to BD easily.
    Coming from the Windows environment, I was used to Studio taking raw footage and converting the entire tape to one .avi file that I could then edit in a baisc manner (trim, add menus, add transitions, add chapters, etc. but not adding other audio, etc.) and burn...all in Studio.  The Windows desktop I had been using for standard def is not powerful enough for HD (it's from 2004) so I have to explore other options.
    I have a MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo process and 4 GB memory and am using Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I also have iMovie 08 (7.1.4 [585]) and Toast Titanium Pro with the HD/BD plug in (11.0.04).  Toast will not recognize the Canon camcorder connected using the Firewire 400 connection (but will recognize the Sony).  So I have used iMovie to download the camcorder footage to my MBP in HD (full quality).
    Here are my questions:
    1.  when downloading, it appears that iMovie does not retain the raw/same format as used by the Canon but converts it to something called Apple Intermediate Codecc.  Does this converstion affect the quality of the footage?  I do not want to use the convered material as archival material if it's already been converted once.
    2.  If the answer to # 1 is yes, iMovie converts the raw footage, is there another program that I can use in a Mac-environment that will simply download the footage in it's original format?
    3.  iMovie also splits up the footage into clips vs. showing one file and I cannot combine the clips into one clip (to be analogous to the workflow I have been used to in Studio).  Is there a way to do so?  Short of backing up my entire laptop (which I do), how can I extract the original footage from iMovie and copy it for archiving on a NAS drive?
    4.  Where is the best "place"/approach to perform basic editing (adding menu, adding chapters for different sections of the disc, etc.) on the footage?
    5.  If the answer to #4 is iMovie, would I then simply burn the iMovie project in Toast to Blue-ray?
    I had thought achieving my goals would have been easy in a Mac environment (like it is for everything else) but am surprised to find it so difficult compared to how easy it was in Studio.  (Am I really better off getting a lower-end Windows 7 desktop and upgrading Studio and keep that just for converting our HD camcorder tapes to blue-ray?  I would rather not do so of course.)
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Calbe and AppleMan1958
    Thanks for the replies.  Based on your replies, I think I can stay in the Mac-environment.
    1 and 2.  I cannot archive as AppleMan1958 suggested to keep the original without conversion because the footage is HDV 1080i.  I understand however that iMovie will import and convert using a lossles codec.  (The camera is tape-based and doesn't show up in Finder.)
    3.  Having archived copy (if there is software that will let me do so for HDV) will negate the need to find the iMovie "version" but if necessary can do so directly.
    4.  One follow-up questions...if I use iMovies, do I simply use the project or the actual movie for purposes of burning to disc?
    5.  I agree Calbe...it's different so I'm thinking it's difficult.  I am sure I'll get the hang of it once I better understand how the flow works from camera to disc!
    AppleMan1958, is there another consumer level app that you can recommend that I can use for archiving HDV?
    Thanks for the quick replies.

  • Is it possible to burn a slide show onto a Blu-ray DVD ?

    Using PS8 Premier I could't burn my slide show ( no movies ) with music onto a Blu-ray DVD. The problem seems to be......low memory. ( my computer has 2 Gig but my project which doesn't seem that involved has over 4 or 5 Gig ). The reason I want to burn onto Blu-ray is to get a clearer project than I was able to on a regular DVD. I get a good slide show on my cpu monitor and also on a regular DVD in the smaller screen of the burner program but the project loses resolution when going to full screen. That is why I wanna try it on Blu-ray.

    If you are going to BD, then I would start with a BD Preset. This ARTICLE will tell you the supported Frame Sizes, and FPS.
    I would choose the 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 FPS Interlaced (NTSC), or 25 FPS Interlaced (PAL). I would then go to my original stills and Scale them to ~ 1920 x 1080 in PS/PSE. This ARTICLE will give you tips on doing that with automation in either image editing program. Import those Scaled Images into PrE, with the Duration that you feel is correct, depending on the "flow" of the SlideShow. Note: you can tweak that Duration for each Image, if needed, but by planning a bit, most will not need any tweaking. Then, add any Pans, or Zooms (Effect>Motion>Scale, and/or Motion>Position). Add any Transitions desired, and edit any Audio. Add the desired BD Menus and Chapter Markers (no Stop Marker at the end of the Timeline). This Project should burn to BD easily.
    Good luck, and hope that it helps,
    Hunt
    Note: in the first linked article, you will see that 20 FPS is not supported, and neither is 1 FPS. You can, of course, make the Duration of each Image 1 Frame, but will probably want the Image on-screen for longer, say 5 - 10 secs.

  • How do I burn a BDMV Folder onto a Blu-Ray Disc on my Mac os 10.8.3?

    How can I burn a BDMV Folder to a Blur-Ray Disc on my Mac osx?

    Hi John,
    I'm having a little problem.
    I have Toast 11 which burns ISO and BDMV folders. I would like to use ISO files for burning. Heres the problem.
    In Encore it says I have 4 GB available on the disc. I went and exported an ISP file onto one of my Hard Drives and it came out to be 25.75 GB. Way over what Encore was saying.
    I have a 2 and a half hour project as my main timeline and 9 menus.
    When it transcodes as it's making the ISO file, does my 2 and a half hour timeline get bigger in file size?
    Should I change the transcode settings in Encore for that Video file before I make it an ISO file?
    Or should I re-encode my wedding (which is on a Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline) but set my Target and Max Bit Rates lower this time around knowing it will be bigger after I make the ISO File?
    Thanks in adavnce for all of your help.

  • Exporting 1080i footage to blu ray format.

    Hi there,
    I have captured some 1080i footage in premiere pro CS4 and have been exporting sections as image sequences in progressive to do some rotoscoping. I now want to produce the video in 2 formats. One intended to be a standard interlaced def DVD and the other to be the highest possible quality for blu ray. Could someone help me with whether i need to deintelace the footage to make it progressive when exporting or will selecting the blu ray setting do it for me at the best possible quality.
    Many thanks...

    will there be a combing effect when played on a computer monitor
    No.  Your software Blu-ray player will deinterlace it properly for you. By way of comparison, notice that I didn't say Media Player.

  • 1080p 29.97 to Blu-ray

    I have a project shot at 1080p 29.97 and this is my first attempt to export it for Blu-ray.  When I select the H.264 Blu-ray Format in Export Settings, there is no Preset matching the source format.  It looks like the best options are:
    1. 1080i 29.97 - Would I lose resolution this way?  Is 29.97i actually 59.94 fields/sec with even fields on one pass and odd fields on the next (which would be parts of the same frame because it was shot progressive) or am I only going to get 540 lines of resolution?
    2. 1080p 23.976 - How bad would artifacting be if I change the frame rate?  Would Twixtor do this perfectly or at least much better than Premiere?
    3. 720p 59.94 - This would preserve the original frames (doubling them) but I would have less than half the resolution.
    I notice the MPEG2 Blu-ray also does not have a format that matches the source but if I select Match Source Attributes (High Quality) the Summary lists the Output as 1920x1080, 29.97 fps, but doesn't indicate whether it's progressive or interlaced.  I just checked Wikipedia and it appears 1080p 29.97 is not a valid Blu-ray format.  So is the MPEG2 converting to interlaced without expliciting telling me in the Summary Output?  Is H.264 going to look better than MPEG2 (that would be my guess)?
    Bottom line, what is the best option for highest quality output given the source material I'm using?

    I just went through my workflow and found another answer for you...
    If you want to use a newer blu-ray standard encoding, you have to create it yourself.  Not sure how well it will work across all machines, but I'm testing it myself, right now.  First, you need to open media encoder, then, create a new preset.  Use h.264 for the main setting designer, and "based on" should be blu-ray set.  Now... ...for 1920 sized video, you'll need the following:
    profile-high
    version-4.2 or higher (careful--this will change the compatibility with older players; check with clients about their equipment; older than 3 years, use the standard blu-ray settings provided or offer a flash drive with a formatted disc image that they can resize to their own liking).
    and 35-50mb\s for video bare minimum.
    This will be an UNCOMPRESSED style format if you want a progressive video... ...set progressive, set frame rate.
    set audio to taste.
    Make sure you do this:  check the MUXER tab.  Set to none.  Now you will have an M4V file.
    Save the preset with a decent name, forget about the "Keyframe" setting.  It no longer matters.
    Close media encoder, go to encore.  You can now use the Transcode now (make sure you set it to transcode in media encoder in prefs), and when media encoder opens the sequence or video, you'll be able to drag\drop your settings onto it, and watch it go.  You could also just click the setting in the main area and edit the settings from the operation directly, which will give you a better idea of your data-size.  I don't care, personally.  I can buy a disc to fit the data, and if I have to, image right to a flash drive or other fast drive for client product.  Once you've encoded the project by dynamically linking it through encore, and media encoder, the project sees the file as transcoded, and *should* drag it in on it's own.
    I'll be testing another theory later as well.
    Encore and adobe media encoder use the same preset library (this is the theory), and when editing the presets for media encoder, you can have those show up in encore (again, in theory).  If encore picks up the blu-ray presets from media encoder's library of system presets, then, in theory, you could ADD a preset to the system preset folder, and have it appear in encore.  I will try this if my previous option fails.  By doing this, the option for the transcode settings to use Progressive video with my standards should show up as an encore project quality preset.  This way, all the video will be encoded the same (menus and all).  The downside of this approach: menus will be Progressive video and will require more space on the disc.  If you have motion, it will take up enormous resources.  With separate menu and movie transcodes, you should see smaller menu video, with high quality movie video. 
    I've seen that several vbr2pass encodes have failed when done outside of encore in previous versions to CS6 (haven't faced such a project in CS6 yet).  This means that the file was built\compressed\encoded OUTSIDE of the program, so it doesn't KNOW that it is compatible with a disc format, and will AUTOMATICALLY force it to be transcoded.  By transcoding INSIDE encore, you then build the LINKAGE encore uses, FLAGGING it as transcoded, and pointing it to the proper file.  You can also Point to the proper file in CS6 by right clicking on an asset and choosing to Locate Transcoded File.  This will mark it as transcoded (obviously a workaround for the whole vbr2pass high profile setting problem evident since cs3).  However, if you do find yourself in this predicament (a client simply wants a blu-ray built from existing video that is supposedly compatible with blu-ray already), you have a choice.  I don't recall how earlier versions of encore checked the transcode flag, but I believe it was based on a settings listing check.  If it used the quality preset to check the settings, you might be able to use my theory above to fix the problem.  If you can add the quality preset that fits your video (even with newer quality standards), you should be able to get encore to recognize and mark the video.  If you can "Locate Transcoded File", this too might flag it for you.  In Short Terms: The ASSET must MATCH the QUALITY PRESET FOR THE PROJECT.  Check the Transcode Preset.  IF you can match your video, you can *possibly* get away with skipping the transcode and going directly to link\build and burn.
    Remember that a STREAM file-system is used for any movie file-type that has a greater than 2gb max file-size.  Blu-ray utilizes this structure as well.  It splits the file into sections of similar size and setting, which means, in theory, you can have videos with different transcodes and settings mixing into the same disc.  By that same theory, you can have menus with separate settings from the video, and even several of the same video with different settings.  If you know your programming, you can use a flag to set a single menu set for multiple codes of the same video, audio, etc, and then use those flags to set up advanced playback.  For multiple types of audio, you'll want to have the audio and video as separate assets, placed on separate timelines.  This paradigm can be used for archives.

  • Replace W520 Sony Optiarc AD-7710H DVD Burner with Sony Optiarc BD-5750H Blu-ray Burner?

    I am planning on replacing the DVD burner which shipped with my W520 (4270CTO) with a Blu-ray burner.  Evidently not all W520s ship with the same drives.
    Does anyone know whether the front bezel on the W520 is the same for the two Sony Optiarc drives mentioned above?  If not, which Blu-ray burners can accept the W520 front bezel from the Sony Optiarc AD-7710H, which is the drive my machine shipped with?

  • 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.
    http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/325212-How-to-burn-a-BDMV-folder
    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!

  • If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

    It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
    I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

    Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
    If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
    If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
    However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
    Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

  • "media not present" error when burning blu ray in PE12

    I have two systems, both ground-up builds, identical Win 7 Home Premium and Premiere Elements 12 installs.  Both systems have internal blu-ray burners.  One burner is an ASUS BW-12B1AT and the other is a Pioneer burner (don't recall the model number).
    System 1:  Intel 4770k with Gigabyte MB
    System 2: AMD 8-core with Gigabyte MB
    System 1 gives "Media not present" error in PE12 when attempting to burn to blu ray discs using Verbatim discs. System is able to burn DVDs and CDs, and playback blu ray discs.  System is also capable of burning blu rays using Nero.
    System 2 works fine - blu ray media is recognized instantly by PE12 when in the drive and burns blu rays perfectly.
    I swapped the blu ray drives and SATA cables from System 1 and System 2 with the same result - this eliminated the drive manufacturer and cables from being the problem, as both drives worked perfectly in System 2 and neither worked in System 1.  I also tried different SATA ports and power supply taps on System 1 without any success.
    Then, I noticed that on System 1, with the dialog box open and indicating the "media not present" error, if I ejected the blu ray disc and reinserted it, the burner LED would flash 18 times (approx. 1/sec) and then pulse briefly indicating a burst of activity for about 1 second, as if it was either reading the disc or writing to the SATA.  If I pressed the "rescan" button during this brief burst of LED activity, then the disc was recognized and I could proceed to burn it.    If I tried to press the rescan button at any time before this instant or after, the "media not present" error did not clear.
    To me, this is an indication that something in the handshake timing of the SW and the burner is not correct, and that timing differences in the system HW are not provided for in the SW. I see that many others have had this issue and have had to buy work-around image burners to address this. I believe your burner drivers need to be reworked to eliminate this bug.  This is evidenced by the fact that Nero works and your SW does not, and that different systems consistently exhibit this problem.
    Please let me know when you will have a SW patch to address this or if you have any idea of system settings that can be adjusted (I don't know of any myself) that would eliminate this problem.

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to contact Adobe, your likely route is via Adobe Chat.
    If you have a feature request or bug report, then consider filing a Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Forum with Adobe
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    The likelihood of an Adobe engineer seeing your thread here is essentially slim to none.
    Your results are very interesting but lots more variables to consider.
    Do you have any version of Premiere Elements other than 12? It would be interesting to learn if a prior version's burn
    dialog would present with the Media Not Preset issue for your burn to Blu-ray System 1. That is easy enough done with a tryout of
    11 or 10 or 9 from the following web site. ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus
    On the other side of the coin, you could give the new version a look in this regard. A new version is expected at the
    end of September 2014.
    As an aside, have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, I would encourage
    you to do so. It does correct an Expert workspace text styles issue plus other matters undefined by Adobe.

  • Blu-Ray Jerking - Encore Help Needed!

    Hi all,
    I'm new to Encore and i'm just about to complete a project which involves burning some videos to DVD & Blu-Ray. I have burnt 5 DVD's and everything works perfect, but unfortunately now I am trying to burn the Blu-Rays and they have major issues. When I come to play the Blu-Ray on my computer, first of all they won't work with VLC (newest version) and the video seems to be jerking slightly. I have also noticed when the video thumbnails appear, the video and audio freezes (only time the audio is effected.) Oh and i'm not sure if this is relevant but the first two discs I burnt the video started playing in my PC about 30 seconds into one of the videos, completely skipping out the intro video, menu and part of said video.
    My project consists of:
    Intro animation/motion menu exported from AE
    Menu file exported from PS
    Audio track
    Four videos from FCP, all 1920x1080. One is a "Current Settings" .mov export from a ProRes 422 HQ timeline and the others were this but have been compressed to an MP4 in Handbrake.
    The menu system has video thumbnails and all of the above videos are linked well.
    The loop point has been set at 18 seconds which is when the intro animation finishes and the video menu has fully faded in.
    Each video has an end point which brings them back to this loop point.
    As mentioned, this worked absolutely perfect with my DVD's but with the Blu-Rays it's completely messed up. The only difference between the two are the Blu-Ray project settings, the video transcode settings set by Encore and I have imported the "Current Settings" .mov from FCP for one video and not the compressed Handbrake file. I have done the "Check Project" and nothing comes back.
    I am using the following equipment:
    "LG Super Multi Blue" Blu-Ray burner.
    TDK BD-R 25GB 1-4x Write Speed discs
    Dell XPS 8700s Blu-Ray player for playback with VLC (won't open:
    Your input can't be opened:
    VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///D:\'. Check the log for details.
    & CyberLink PowerDVD 12 which does work but the above issues are noticed.
    Please if somebody could give me some suggestions to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. I am going away for a week on Monday and need to have these burnt and sent out to the clients before I do.

    While playback with computer emulators is helpful, you ultimately need a disk test. A BD+RE is very helpful.
    What does Encore show as the Blu-ray transcode status (in that column over to the right in the Encore project panel): Do not transcode, Untranscoded?
