How to read Blu-Ray disk from Encore

I shot footage in 1080i on a Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder. I edited it in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0 (374) running on XP home edition. I then created an Adobe Encore project (Encore CS3 V3.0.1.008). From Encore I burned 2 standard DVD's, one on the DVD burner & the other on my Blu-Ray burner (LG GGW-H20L, firmware YL05)). Both disks played perfectly on my Sony Blu-Ray player ( Sony BDP-S300).
From the same project I then burned a Blu-Ray disk using Verbatim BD-RE (2X) on the same LG drive. When I attempted to play this disk on the same Sony player I got the message 'Can't play'. I repeated the above process several times & each time I produced a Blu-Ray disk that can't be read.
Can anybody tell me how I can resolve this problem?

Many thanks! Updating the firmware on the Sony player did the trick (V2.1 to
V4.5). The earlier version could not read BD-R(E).

How to burn Blu-ray disk from Encore?

My project was shot and edited in HD. The camera was a Sony AX2000 1920 X 1080 60i the highest resolution for the camera. The project has been exported to Encore (CS5.5 Production Premium)and is on the timeline there. How do I get in touch with "Chat" to get phone help to go from where I am to burning a Blu-ray disk? When I try to email Adobe Help I am routed round and round back to same place and I can never find anyplace to send an email to Adobe to ask a support question. When I click on "Help" from Premiere Pro or Encore the explanations use frequent links to videos elsewhere for explanations and none of the links are functional! Why is that? I can't find an explanation online or in Adobe's Classroom in a book or anywhere. I would appreciate some links to videos explaining the process or some basic instructions. Thank you.

Encore also has a very active forum too: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

Sony Optiarc BD Rom BC-5500S is not reading blu ray disks

I have a pavilion dv7-1070ev and upgrade from windows vista home premium 32bit to Windows 7 home premium 64bit.The laptop came with the optical drive Sony Optiarc BD Rom BC-5500S with Firmware version 1.83.The problem is that the bd-rom is not reading blu ray disks. When i put in CD's/DVD's everything is fine -> drive starts to spin up and a little later the disc is readable/available in windows. When i put in a BluRay disc -> drive just makes a very short silent spin effort (to identify disc?),and no disc is available in windows. When i double click my drive icon (in my computer) it pops up a window asking me to insert a disc.Note that it is the first time I put blu-ray disk to watch blu-ray movie.I have never used the bd-rom when the laptop had windows vista.
The drive is compatible with windows 7 b4bit

Searched in forums I found these solutions :
A clean registry
1. To begin the process, start the Registry Editor.
    Click START,click RUN, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
    Click the plus(+) next to the following folders in the left side of the window pane:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    CurrentControlSet
    Control
    Class
    (4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318)
2. Look for any of the following names in the right side of the window pane:
    UpperFilters
    LowerFilters
3. If any of the items above are listed, right click on the item and select DELETE.
4. Be sure to restart your computer after you have deleted the files in the registry.
B.new firmware
1.Download the latest version for the retail version of this drive from sony at:
http://www.sony-optiarc.eu/uploads/media/WinDL_BC5500S_V106_02.zip
Sony says that you can only update from Firmware versions 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1,04 and 1.05. Previous firmware version(s) other than mentioned here are probably OEMs and therefore cannot be updated with this file. Contact your PC manufacturer (FTS, DELL, HP....) if you require firmware updates for these drives.
I have HP version 1.83 dated December 2007 so I cannot update.
C.Uninstall/install bd-rom
Uninstall bd-rom from device manager ,restart the pc and then looking for drivers.
searching not found something.
My driver is up to date (21/06/2006) and the driver is 6.1.7601.17514
D.Clean the laser lens
I put a cd cleaner to clean the lens, but that didnt help
I have used the solutions but the problem is not solved.
Can anyone help ;

QuickPlay is made by Cyberlink who also makes Power DVD 10, 11 and 12 products.
You have to uninstall QuickPlay and all Power DVD products (don't use QuickPlay anymore, it's outdated and it will not be updated as it's been long discontinued). There is also a Power DVD folder(s) that needs to be deleted as well.
After you have uninstalled everything, run CCleaner as many times as necessary and delete what it finds in its registry cleaner.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Here is also a link for Power DVD11 cleaner as well, use this after CCleaner.
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/16915.page (restart after all of this)
Are you running the trial of DVD or have you paid for it ? If you want to purchase some Blu-ray software then stay away from Cyberlink, I use Total MediaTheatre 5 and it's much better.
Also available for free is Power DVD 10 for HP owners, when installed correctly, it's OK, but it's not with out its problems.
If you want to install Power DVD10, then post again.
The other thing that worries me is your Sony drive, I have had many people here that I can't get the Sony drive to read Blu-ray's. I don't know if its firmware is out of date (there is no firmware update) or if the new updated Blu-ray players have become incompatible.
You may be forced to buy a Pioneer or HP Blu-ray reader.

PrCS5.5: what are the setting to produce a Blu-Ray disk with Encore CS5

what are the setting for a sequence, media encoder, & Encore to produce a Blue-Ray disk.
At present , I have tried several different combinations, but Encore just hinges

sorry i forgot the link...
http://www.precomposed.com/tutorials/04_bluray_subtitles/
at the end of tutorial , you find instructions for create a right iso image.
Another thing. If you go to create a DVD Dual layer, Imgburn offers a excelent tool to set layer break. I prefer this option,and not Encore automatic option.

Burning Blu-ray disks. Third party hardware needed?

I have read from earlier posts that it is not possible to burn Blu-ray© disks from DVDSP. Can third party hardware be purchased to burn such a disk having assembled the digital assets in DVDSP? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your responses. I see that from DVD SP Late-Breaking news that'HD DVD projects authored by DVD SP 4.0.3 fully comply with the 1.0 version of he HD DVD specification...the new HD DVD standard. The disks will play on Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later.
I haven't commited to the Blu-ray© player, just the Sony HD camcorder.
When the time comes, I will burn to a red laser disc per the Apple recommendation. And thanks for the Roxio link which makes it clear that a PC is needed for Blu-ray©

Preparing maximum quality Blu-ray disk

I have a 65 Mts HD Music Programme.,I want to prepare maximum Best Quality Blu-ray disk from this project. I am on premiere CS6. Should I export to H-264 Blu-ray or Mpeg2 Blu-Ray and at what maximum Bitrate, so that I get Best quality Blu-ray Disk. Also I shall be glad if someone from forum please let me know which is good format H-264 Blu-ray or Mpeg-2 Blu-ray. So far I am preparing Blu-ray with H-264 Blu-ray

From the Wikipedia's Blu-ray specs: "BD Video movies have a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbit/s, a maximum AV bitrate of 48 Mbit/s (for both audio and video data), and a maximum video bit rate of 40 Mbit/s."

Premiere CS5 to Encore 5.1 Blu Ray track from six mono wave files

When preparing a 5.1 mix for a theater presentation, I had repeated trouble trying to get a blu ray disk to reflect the 5.1 mix our sound engineer created, so, having had success this time, I wanted to record my procedure. You gurus might catch something I missed, so critique this where necessary:
I'm running Windows 7 Professional, Premiere CS5 and Encore CS5.
You will need to purchase the Minnetonka Surcode for 5.1 ( http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=74)
Mine installed without any hitches.
In your Premiere sequence, make sure you create a 5.1 Master audio track. (Very important)
Create 6 5.1 audio tracks
Import your six mono wave files. (L.wav, R.wav, Ls.wav, Rs.wav, C.wav, LFE.wav) but DO NOT drag them to the timeline yet.
Right click on each .wav file in the project panel.   For each one, select Modify -> Audio Channels
In this dialogue box, you can select mono, stereo, mono as stereo, or 5.1. Choose 5.1.
Each of your wav files should be mapped to the proper representation of the 5.1 icon, with the black dot appearing where the final name would imply. (the *c.wav file would match the icon as it appears below.
Continuously click on the icon will bring up new channel options. (see illustration below)
For more info on channel mapping, see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7f46a.html
(continued..)
When all your wav files are mapped to the master 5.1 audio track, you can drag them to the sequence and you can export your audio file.
File -> export -> media
My objectives was to get an *.ac3 file to drop into my encore project, since I had trouble with dynamic link, so the next step for me was:
Format: H.264 Blu-ray (note export audio only didn't give me the 5.1 surcode option, but I got it this way:)
uncheck export video
export settings, h.264 Blu-Ray, Dolby Digital, SurCode for Dolby Digital
Our engineer recommended:
Dialog Normalization should be -31
Dynamic Compression should be set to none
The export resulted in an AC3 file that was a perfect match to the sound mixer's file on his end.

You can skip the Modify step and just route the tracks from the Mixer.

Where's my 5.1 sound? (Blu-ray disk built in Encore)

Hi there!
Basically, I need to do a very very simple thing... but it's not working. I'm sure you can help. ;-)
In Encore, I have a simple menu with 2 buttons:
button1 --> audio 1 (2.0)
button2 --> audio 2 (5.1)
...and that's almost it.
The thing is, once "built", my Blu-ray disk has 2.0 on audio 1 and on audio 2 also...
What's the trick?
Thx ;-)

This is a screen shot of your 5.1 ac3 being played back on a Panasonic BD player via my dolby decoder after being burned to a Bluray disc so it seems your file is fine.
To make my disc I made a 1920x1080 25i H264 bluray file of colour bars the same length as your audio and then made a PAL Bluray project in Encore with just the bars and your ac3. This was burnt to disc using ImgBurn.
How are you adding the video to Encore? Are you using a H264 of the correct size or are you letting Encore do the video transcoding? If Encore is doing the conversion perhaps it is also transcoding the audio so as to make the best use of the disc capacity.

Best workflow from FCE 4.0 timeline to Blu Ray disk?

I'm almost done creating a video in FCE4.0.1 and I'm wondering what everyone's experience is in producing a quality blu Ray disk on the Mac.
I'm using an iMac I7 and FCE 4. I will be buying an external blu Ray writer (suggestions?) and I'm assuming I'll need Toast and the blu Ray plug in to create the disk.
Perhaps not. I know others have already fought this bleeding edge battle so I'm hoping I can learn from your experiences.
I'm looking to output 720P quality. So, suggestions? Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
DC

I have had satisfactory results burning short Blu-ray quality movies using Toast and standard DVDs. I export my work from FCE to QuickTime then import it into Toast. I select the Blu-ray video option (top left) and also select the standard DVD (bottom right). The results are quite good viewed on a HD TV using a Blu-ray disc player. It takes a long time to burn and patience is required, but I have compared the Blu-ray video to DVDs burned in the normal manner, and the results are pretty amazing. This process does not require an external Blu-ray writer, but it will only work for short videos of 20 minutes or so.

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.)

Blu-ray disk plays with snowy pictures at the beginning

I need help with a new issue with my burning (Win 7 Pro, CS5.0 from Adobe's original installation disks, LG BD-rewriter; different BD-R, BD-RE blank disks: Sony, Philips, Kodak).
While playing within Encore with the "Preview From Here" feature doesn't show any problem, burning (either directly from Encore, or from file with ImgBurn) and playing for the TV on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP BDT330), every once in a while, the beginning of some menu items plays a snowy noise intermittent with some black frames for anywhere between 3 - 6 seconds. Playing back several times, this issue happens at the beginning of different menu items (and mainly when playing a playlist with the same items).
Playing commercial Blu-ray disks, or my older Blu-ray disks, there is nothing wrong with the playback.
It seems to me that this is something either that Encore or the LG OD does. Before I start reinstalling the CS5 suite (removing it with Revo first), I would greatly appreciate any idea about the cause of this behavior.
Also, it would help me to eliminate some of the possible culprits if I could play back the Blu-ray disk directly from my BD drive. I would appreciate any suggestion for a good and tested software (free, or paid for) that would not interfere with Adobe (or mess up my "pristine" OS ).
Thank you very much,
Laci.
P.S. My guess at this point is that the culprit is the BD burner. While commercial DVD/BDs are "pressed", home burners use PCM (phase change memory - and also memories from my Intel years working on their reliability). If the burner laser gets older/defective, then the melting/recristallisation of the PCM lmemory element might not be "perfect", and when it is read, it sometimes gives the wrong response (even with ECC which I am not sure they employ in DVDs).
I am still waiting for, and greatly appreciate, some advice before I rush to buy a new burner or reinstall the whole CS5.
Thanks,
Laci.
P.P.S. Sorry for all these information most of which is probably irrelevant (especially the PCM memory part ). I opened (should have done first) the BD disk on my computer and checked the m2ts files in BDMV > STREAM > *.m2ts. They all (including the motion menus) play flawlessly on the computer with WMP. So, the burning and playback of these files causes no problem. The problem most probably comes when Encore builds the navigation. Since the motion menus on the disk also play without any hickups, I assume that it is the Encore itself that causes these problems. I am going to reinstall CS5. (The still open question at this point is, how it is possible that this snowy few seconds before some of these m2ts files does not always happen at the same m2ts file playing back the same BD disk on the TV.)
I would still appreciate some input from the expert users.
BTW, is there any program out there whith what I could substitute Adobe Encore? (This is the only weak spot of the entire suite ).
- Laci.

the beginning of some menu items plays a snowy noise intermittent with some black frames for anywhere between 3 - 6 seconds. Playing back several times, this issue happens at the beginning of different menu items (and mainly when playing a playlist with the same items).
What does menu items mean? I assume that it is menus themselves, not timeline movies?
What could Encore do that would create this? I don't know, but assume that it is more likely to do with disk seek problems and the like. And yes, where things are put physically on the disk can be an issue. But burn/disk issues are more likely.
Have you tried this on a different player?

DVD Remote "skip" Function Doesn't Work for Blu-ray Projects (CS5 Encore)

     I have graduated from SD to HD and I need help.
I just finished my first HD project in CS5, burned it to a Blu-ray disk and immediately encountered a problem: the skip forward and the skip backward remote functions don’t work. (I have encountered several other problems on the way to get here but I solved those with the help of the manual and by browsing this forum ). In this project, I am doing exactly what I have done in my previous SD projects (where this function works):
In CS5 Encore, I added “Chapter Points at Intervals…”.
On the timeline Properties Panel, I kept the default selection “Operations: All Permitted” (that includes “Search for Chapter” in the “Permitted User Operations” menu).
In the “Project Preview” window, clicking on the “Next Chapter” or “Previous Chapter”, the function is executed correctly.
Still, after burning the blu-ray disk and pressing the “skip forward” or “skip backward” buttons on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP-BD65) remote, the “Operation is not permitted” message appears. (This very remote button function works on all my SD projects.)
More background info: I am also using Encore Chapter Markers from the PrPro project linked with Adobe Dynamic Link, chapter marker End Actions (Jeff’s The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, pp. 178-180), and Bill’s advice on using the “dip to black” transition to avoid the ~1 second gap between chapters in the Chapter Playlist that I use to play all chapters. The following observation may be unrelated: in Encore’s Monitor Panel, the “Step Forward” button with pressing the Alt key does not move the CTI to the next GOP mark. The “Step Forward” or “Step Backward” functions (without pressing the Alt key) work (moving the CTI one frame)..
At this point, I desperately need the Forum’s help.
Thanks,
     - Laci.

Up to now I worked only with standard definition projects and outputted them
to DVDs. This is my HD project. My problem is that I am a bit confused with
the proper (and simple) settings for a blu-ray project. Your
questions/comments imply that I am making a "DVD project" - but then, how
can I burn it to a BD?
Here is what I am doing, and please, let me know if/where I am making my
mistake:
1.       On the camcorder the recording format is set to "AVCHD 1080/60i
HA".
2.       In the CS5 PrPro new project:
a.       General > Capture Format: HDV
b.      New Sequence > Sequence Preset > AVCHD > "AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)".
3.       In Encore: File > Project Settings > Basic:
a.       Authoring Mode: "Blu-ray"
b.      Transcode Settings: "Codec: MPEG-2; Dimensions: 1920 x 1080; Frame
Rate: 29.97, Fields: Upper Field First, Audio Transcoding Scheme: Dolby
Digital, Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate: 15.0 Mbps"
c.       In the "Default Transcode Settings" window, the Blu-ray tab is
highlighted. (There, I could change the codec from MPEG-2 to H.264 -
according to some articles it would give slightly better quality in certain
circumstances - I don't know.)
d.      On the Encore Project Panel, right clicking on the sequences, and
choosing "Transcode Settings" from the menu, I get a window that says "DVD
Transcoding" and "Blu-ray Transcoding". In the Blu-ray Transcoding section,
I choose Codec: MPEG-2, Dimension 1920x1080, Frame Rate: 29.97, Quality
Preset: Automatic Using Project Settings.
e.       Going into the "Edit Quality Presets", I change the "Export
Settings Preset" to "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality" (from the 1280x720)
4.       Now, in the Project Panel, under the Blu-ray Transcode Settings I
see: "1920x1080i 29.97 Maximum Quality MPEG-2".
Are these the correct settings for a high quality Blu-ray project? I am
re-transcoding the project with these settings to see if I still get the bad
transitions.
Thanks for your advice,
Laci.

My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive

My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive and not the hard drive. Therefore when I turn it on, it boots up and then it go pass the sound and the apple logo come up on screen but then it frezzes and noing happens; even if I hold down the power button.

Boot Mode: Normal
It should not boot off the Blu-ray read/wrigt.

Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those 3rd-party items that Roger pointed out, one at a time, and restart. Continue until you determine which ones are causing the problem. If KP while in safe mode, then most likely hardware related.
