In attempt to burn blu-ray, I get QuickTime error 0.  Takes hours to export a 7 minute movie from timeline, then get notice it fails.  What's going on here?

New problem just started 24 hours ago.  When I try to export from the time line to create a QuickTime file, a 7 minute movie on time line takes 3 hours to export and then the export fails, where as a few days ago, that export would take about 10 minutes at most.  I get the same failure notice when I try to share to blu-ray, DVD, or Vimeo.  Tried to use compressor, no such luck as compressor failed to make a .mov file.  I get QuickTime error 0 message about 5 minutes into trying to share to Blu-Ray now.   Does anyone know what is going on here?  I'm running latest update of Snow Leopard on an intel Mac Pro and the latest update to Final Cut Pro X.  I've also installed QT 7.6.6 to use in creating time lapse movie files.

Same problem here, too. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 on OS 10.6.8. However, it is only doing it on ONE of my projects. A 4-second test project burned successfully.
I'm  actually going to use iDVD to burn copies for a few people, so I only need the movie file from FCPX.
Would someone please post best export settings for use on a DVD? In FCPX, the project is  in HD (1080p) with all media optimized to ProRes 442. I know it will have to be down-sampled to DVD resolution, but I've always been curious to know what settings will result produce the best possible quality in DVD resolution.
Thank you!

  • Audio popping after burning blu-ray in 5.1

         Just as a disclaimer, I am fairly new to Adobe Premiere and I am running Premiere Elements 8 on a Sony Vaio with an Intel Core i5-580M processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 GPU, 8GB DDR3-SDRAM-1066 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
         I am attempting to create blu-ray disks in full HD and 5.1 surround sound. Source video is full HD 1920x1080 with .M2TS extension. When I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 check the properties for my videos, it says the source audio format is "48,000Hz - compressed - 6 channels" and the project audio format is "48,000Hz - 32 bit floating point - 6 channels". This is despite the fact that the source should be 5.1. However when editing videos "5.1" shows up next to audio 1 on the timeline. I read something about this issue and I assume this isn't the cause for any poor audio after a blu-ray burn.
          I create new projects using these settings:
                   NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel
         After some quick editing I burn a blu-ray disk with the H.264 1920x1080i NTSC Dolby preset. When checking the quality of the burn the video looks great, but audio has a distinct popping or crackling occasionally that is not in the source files at all. Anyone have any ideas why a burn causes these audio blemishes to show up? I have never had any issues with 2 channel burns and I will probably just end up sticking with 2 channel audio if a solution can't be discovered. Also of note, the audio output is much lower from the burned copy than it is when played back from the source file. This will happen even when the clip volume is set to the max of +6.0dB. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks.
    If I play the original mts-file with Media Player Classic, the audio appears 99.9% clean. Using my headphones and 30 second test section, I could locate one barely audible "pop". PrE timeline zoom couldn't show any spikes or anything else suspicious, so I looked into this by extracting audio channels with Mediacoder to wav-file and checking how it looks at Audacity. One channel appeared to have this small step which caused the "pop". This is best described by following picture:
    Then, when I export the video (or just audio to wav-file) I get dozens of these similar steps which sound like "pop". Sometimes it is just on one channel, sometimes on both channels. They appear at every 2...3 seconds or so. For comparison, this is how the "pop" looks like when exported from PrE:
    Any further suggestions what might cause this increase in "popping" or how to fix it?

  • PE7 Locks up while burning Blu-Ray from AVCHD project

    I am having problems burning my completed project to Blu-Ray.  It is a large project at just over 2 1/2 hours but I have successfully burned projects like this in the past.  My source files were AVCHD from my Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder.  I know that AVCHD is very challenging for even the fastest PCs so I knew to break the project up into approximately 20-minute segments to complete my edits, voiceovers, transitions, etc.  I then converted each of these files to MPEGs in the format H264 1920 X 1080i 30.  I imported all of my individual H264 projects into a single new project and I even rendered that complete mega-project before attempting to burn.
    The resulting file burned to DVD without a problem of any kind.  But when I try to burn the project to Blu-Ray, I get tantalizing close to the end (98 - 99%) and then encounter some sort of error.  Sometimes the program will pause with a dialog box saying that PE is runnning low on memory and that I should save my project and "proceed with caution".  Sometimes if I click "OK" the encoding process will resume, but most times it just freezes at that point.  And often the project will halt at 98% without ever giving any error messages.  All that you see is the label on the progress bar chart changes from "encoding media" to "error."
    I've had this failure to complete burning about six times in various forms.  I even tried making two half-sized projects out of my big one and the smaller ones bombed in exactly the same way.  I've tried disabling all background programs such as defraggers, virus scans -- anything I could think of that would be competing for my system's memory.  All to no avail.  But, of course, it takes at least ten hours before you find out that you are still having the same problem.
    My computer is about six months old and I tried to get the top-of-the-line at the time.  I have an Intel quad-core processor @ 2.66 GHz, 4 GB of DDR2-800 RAM, ATI Radeon 3650 video card with 512 MB on-board memory, 500 GB hard drive (that had about 425 GB free when I started) and Win XP SP2.
    These same techniques and hardware burned a 1 1/2-hour AVCHD project for me about six months ago with minimal hassle, but all the same procedures this time have had nothing but failure.  Anyone got any ideas about where I am going wrong?

    Yes, it surprised me too.  Not sure what to make of it but I fear it is only an indication of how flawed the processes are for my particular burn.  No, no scene markers closer than a couple of minutes to each other.  Most are separated by 15 minutes or so.
    I placed the menu markers by clicking on the scene in the sceneline view.  Silly me, I just assumed that the first frame in the scene is where the menu marker would be placed.  Didn't work out that way.  You really couldn't see the offset until you blew the timeline scale 'way up.  However, I had noticed while previewing the project that some of the scene markers seemed to be off a bit.  In other words, when I clicked on a scene to preview it, I seemed to get a flash of a few frames of the previous scene before the view switched to what I had anticipated seeing.  I didn't think too much about it at the time and dismissed it as one of the approximations used in the preview process.  Closer investigation yesterday showed the offsets to be genuine.
    But the heartbreaking thing about those offsets is that correcting them didn't have any effect on my problem.  The burn process still froze at 98%.
    I'm suspecting now that "98%" is not 98% of the timeline but rather 98% of all the processes that the software is going through in formatting the data for burning.  In my continual clutching at straws, I'm going to turn my scrutiny next to the musical background tracks that I added to my project.  There are unquestionably gaps between those tracks.  The software simply would not allow me to butt two background music tracks right up against each other.  Every time I tried to drag and drop them into that position, the software would offset my video track by the duration of the music clip I was trying to add.  Only when I offset the music clip a couple of seconds would the video clip stay where it was.
    God and the software developers only know if such a thing could be a problem for burning an AVCHD-based project.  I know for sure that I had these audio gaps in previous projects and they never seemed to cause a problem.  But the size of my current project may be driving the processes into areas where they are not able to reliably go.
    I've got a couple of things to try next.  I'm going to delete all of the background music tracks to see if a fault in their rendering may be what is going on at the 98% point in the burn process.  The second is to position myself in front of my computer when the process reaches 98% thereby to see if any "magic" dialog boxes spring up to explain what is happening.  What I've been doing so far is to just let the burn process go while I go off to do other things - like sleep.  This time I'm going to make it my mission to be there at 98% to see if there will be any leads to what is breaking down at that point.
    This has been a very frustrating process.   I've basically tried to do exactly what I did successfully a couple of times before.  Last time I successfully burned an AVCHD-based project, I wrote out a set of step-by-step procedures so that I would not leave out any of the esoteric little steps that can be so important.  I've followed them religiously but this time they haven't worked.  Aaaarrrgghhh!!!!

  • Device error when burning Blu Ray disk at 96%

    Very simple program to use so far. Just drag and drop.
    My current project was shot in HD 1080p about 2 hours or 13 gig long and I made 4 lower resolution DVD's no problem.  I like how it shrunk it with out me having to do anything other than check the box (use space available)
    However when I went to make Blu Rays in addition to taking about 18 hours its gets right to the end and spits the disk out unfinished and has device error at about 96% of burning finished. Disk will not play.
    I have ruined 3 blank  4x blu ray disks so far, same result.  I have down loaded and installed the 8.01 update, I will turn off the screen saver and anything else I can find, before I try it again.
    Its a new computer with only PE8 running on it.  Quad core Gateway with 8 gig ram and a almost empty 1tb hard drive and LG blue ray writer.
    I have not tried to burn anything else with the blu ray writer, as thats what PE8 was for.
    I did not have the timeline fully rendered before I started, if that makes any difference.
    Anybody have any ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry I'm a newby. I'll put this is PRE 8 where it belongs.

  • 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.

    iamfrustrated wrote:
    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.

  • "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.

  • 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.

  • Success burning Blu-ray on Mac Pro

    Invested in new Sony BWU-300s burner. Installed in lower bay. Used Toast 9 with Blu-ray plug in. Dragged and dropped small 600+ Mb Quick Time HD movie I shot and edited on Mac Pro. Burned to re writable Blu-ray disk. Played back on new Sony BDP-S550. This worked perfectly the first time.

    This is the story I published elsewhere of the sequence of events on October 31st.
    New Sony Blu-ray burner arrived yesterday evening. After purchasing a BD-RE blank disk I proceeded to remove the hard drives in the Early 2008 MacPro. Included in the BWU-300S was all necessary adapter cabling and screws. Mechanically, the tray front plate to the burner needed to be removed. After easily removing the Optical drive support assembly cage I proceeded to locate an available SATA connector on the mother board. Once the SATA cable was routed and connected the power adapter cable was atached. The drive was bolted to the cage and the cage reinserted into the MacPro.
    Next I attempted to play a Blu-ray movie. The disk did mount on the desktop but would not play. Now for the finale. I inserted a blank new rerecordable TDK disk from Frys. I chose a 600+Mb HD video file that was edited in Final Cut and dragged and dropped onto Toast 9 in the video mode. The Blu-ray option was highlighted. I clicked the record button and it began recording. This was a 3 minute + HDV shot Quicktime file. After recording I placed the disk in my new Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player. It spun up and played. The result was a 20+ Mb per second beautiful playback of my Swiss Rail video. It met and exceeded my expectations. Aside from the inability for now to play commercial Blu-ray disks (I only tried one disk) I am completely satisfied with the burner and Toast 9 with the Blu-ray add on software. I feel very fortunate for this to work as well as it did. Perhaps the wisest thing is to purchase one re recordable disk in case of problems.
    Hope this helps fill in some blanks.

  • Burning Blue Ray

    I have a 15' powerbook and use an external dvd burner. I have been using mac the ripper and toast 7 to make copies of my dvd's. Now I've read that toast 8 can burn blue ray. Will mac the ripper work on downloading blue ray and if so will toast 8 burn it? Also Will i need to get a special dvd burner and disks?

    toast = yes
    Mactheripper = no way
    have to have a blu-ray drive to read the disc

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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©

  • "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.
