Jerky playback of Blu Ray with Encore CS4 and Mac

I was very pleased by the fact that I created a Blu Ray disk on my first try...however, the footage plays back very jerky...almost like the frame rate dropped by half...I am using DVCPro 720p footage and compressing in two ways...1st did it in Media Encoder using the both 264 and mpeg 2 for blu-ray, and chose the proper format for 720p. Then I let Encore compress it using the automatic option...on all tries the video is playing back extremely jerky. I am also burning to re-writeable Blu Ray disks and playing back on PS3...anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks.
Chad Campbell

I did the same thing 720p 60p shot on a panasonic p2. I used final cut studio to co press to a mpeg-2 blu-ray stream and then build the blu-ray in encore cs4, it played back smoothly no dropping of frames or any other issues. That might solve your problems.
I use a mac pro.

Subtitle problems with Encore CS4 and BD/Blu-ray -- here is a solution!

Do you have problems with subtitles: for example they vanish completely after doing fast forward or turn them off and on again. Then here you can find one possible solution.
I am using Windows Vista 32bit. Thus Encore CS4 is the last version which I can use. Because Adobe will never provide a solution for this version, I was looking for another solution.
At least I found a workaround for my subtitle problems.
Now I am doing the following steps:
1. Create the blu-ray disk in a folder without subtitles
2. Create the subtitles with a program like "subtitle workshop"
3. Save the subtitles in the .srt format.
4. Use the program SubConverter Express v1.5.0 to convert the subtitles in the .sup format. Here you must choose a suitable font & font size.
5. Add the .sup to the blu-ray folder structure with the program BDFix Express v1.7.3. When doing that, you can also choose the language i.g. "deu" for german. You will find a detailed description in the forum on www.defsoft.com. It is very easy to understand.
6. BDFix will create a new folder with all necessary files to burn a blu-ray disk. Nothing changes in comparison to the folder which was createt by Encore except that subtitles were added.
7. You can burn this folder with a tool like imgburn.
With this workaround you will have the following advantages:
1. It seems that these subtitles were added in a blu-ray specification conform way. Fast forward/backward, switching on/off, chapter jump still work perfectly.
2. The subtitle fonts are rendered in a much more smooth way than Encore does.
3. The 5 frames gap between subtitles is not longer necessary.
4. This solution ist quite fast (about 20 minutes for a 25 GByte disc).
5. You can use these programs also for other blu-rays to add or remove subtitles.
6. You do not need Encore to add/change or remove subtitles. You can do that also years later. You only need the burned blu-ray disc.
To be honest, there is one disadvantage:
- The two programs (SubConverter & BDFix) cost about 200 US Dollar. But to cure my nerves that was worth it.
Hint: You can do a first test with the freeware versions. But there are two limitations. SubConverter can only import 30 subtitle lines and BDFix will only create 3 minutes of subtitles.
Greetings,
Ralf

FLV and F4V use different codecs for Flash video. H.264 in case of F4V and On2 VP6 for FLV. There's a difference of bitrate between different quality presets. You can check the bitrates of files generated using some tool. Your video might be very static to feel the different be the two quality settings.
F4V is the new format and need a newer version of Flash Player. Please update your Flash player and try again to play the F4V files.
Playstream doesnt support F4V format. You can only export FLV files to Playstream.
It might also be an issue of low bandwidth while playing a streaming video. Are you playing is locally or from a web server.

Burn Blu - ray in Encore CS4

Hey
Has anyone here burn a blu - ray dics in Encore CS4 ?
And have there been any problems about playing it on a blu -ray player ?
Regards
Mikael

I have burn a blu - ray , but have a problem

It is normal for a player to briefly pause as it seeks the disc for the menu, transition, or video you are having it load. This is a limitation of the format.
Normally, a player will freeze the last frame of the previous menu until it loads the next menu or video. This freeze usually lasts 0.5 seconds to 1 second. If your disc was burned too fast, uses too high of a bitrate, had dust or scratches on the surface while burning or playing, this amount of time to seek the disc will increase (and possibly go to a black screen if it can't load it within a second or two).
The black screen you are experiencing is a player issue, not a menu issue. You might be able to reduce the freeze if you correct any issues you might have had with your disc. If your disc is flawless, then there is nothing you can do. If you try it on a different player, you will likely see a different result.
Menu content is stored on the disc in a different physical location than timeline content, which will make it take slightly longer to go from a menu to a timeline or vise versa.

Problem with Encore CS4 (and Windows 7, possibly)

Greetings:
Anybody else having this problem? First I'll get my system blood work out of the way. It's a brand new HP Pavillion.
Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
8GB RAM
Over 700GB of FREE harddrive
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz
Video Chip Set: Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset
I have ensured that everything is updated. This includes:
All CS4 Applications
Windows 7
My Graphics Card Driver
My Display Driver
I have also updated the Roxio PX Engine to V4.18.16a. I had read on a forum that Encore uses this driver and it should be up to date.
OK, the problem, which I can reproduce with the simplest Encore project:
1.     Start Encore
2.     Create a new project - specify DVD - everything else id default.
3.     Create a timeline
4.     Import asset. It is a simple Standard Video AVI file, 720x480.
5.     Select timeline for editing
Here's what happens:
A) Monitor window behaves normally. I can click play and watch the imported video. Sound is fine, everything is fine. I can start and stop the play back freely. All is well.
B) Now, I can do a number of things to create the problem I am having. The simplest is to just go to the timeline editor, select the AVI asset that has just been there, running fine, and remove it from the time line. At this point, the monitor window's internal frame that used to represent the video view port area, disappears. By "disappears", I mean that the Monitor window goes to the background color which is used for empty, unused window regions. What had been there before was a jet-black frame representing the video view area
Now, if I go to the project window and re-select the AVI asset that I was just viewing and put it BACK into the timeline, the Monitor does not restore. If I play the timeline, the monitor is still blank, although I can hear sound.
In addition to this, I also find that Encore has slowed so that response to the simplest operation is extremely slow. It doesn't crash, although, it might if I hang around long enough - but I don't. If I shut down Encore and restart it, it will work OK until I start manipulating video assets again and then the same thing will happen.
I should mention that, yes, I have this new computer but I was using Encore on an older and much slower XP system with less memory and drive space and I had no trouble with encore. I should also point out that the AVI assets that I use to produce this problem are the same ones I had used successfully on the older system.
Is there anyone out there that would find this problem familiar? Anyone find a solution?
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.

Hi John:
Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously

Hi
Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously
This happens with an entire series of chapters but does not happen with another series of chapters on thre same DVD.
I am missing something to solve this issue.
Can anyone help?

Hi Jeff,
I just checked:
There is no override on the montage

Cs 6 blu-ray with sub menus, only go back to main menu

I have burned a blu-ray with a main menu then sub menus: audio setup, chapters, extras.
(note: they are regular menus NOT pop-up menus and I would rather not do pop-up menus at this time)
when I am playing any of the sub menu content (trailer or making of or picking a chapter button from the chapter menu etc...) and press the menu button on the Blu-Ray player while it plays that content, it goes to the main menu instead of the sub menu.
I checked it in the simulator and it was working perfectly....just as I would expect it to.
each sub menu item (a trailer or making of featurette for example) is set to go back to the sub menu and it's button
when done playing...and it does.
It just refuses to do that when the menu button on a blu-ray player is used and instead goes to the main menu.
I ran the link checker before building the folders and burning it...no conflicts found.
This seems to be an issue with Encore in general, reading about this here and in
other forums.
Can Encore simply not create a proper blu-ray disc with sub-menu's you can
return to when the menu button on a remote is pressed?
Do I have to buy BluStreak in order to correct these rather obvious navigation errors?

Let us know what you find.
I think the original poster in the other thread observed that commercial BDs were showing the same behavior.
Even if true, it does not mean that some kind of scripting might not work.
But Encore would not have the option.

Best export format for encoding & burning Blu-ray with toast?

Hi!
Have a 1 hour and fifteen minutes program which I burn to Blu-Ray with Toast 10/HD. The problem is the time it takes, about 25 hours. Is this resonable really?
Maybe it´s depending on the format I put out from Final Cut - H.264, 1920 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)Stereo (L R), 48,000 kHz
Does anyone know if there is a better export setting in Final Cut to get the process work faster in Toast?
Best / Urban

I've never used toast to burn a BluRay however I have used encore and I export 10 bit uncompressed out of FCP and compress that. If your over an hour of program you'll have to scale back the data rate to make it fit, a 90 minute feature looks good content wise, but any text on it will show signs of the reduced data rate. the encode typically takes about 8 hours to build the disk image on an 8 core mac then about 45 minutes to burn from the image. I burn first to a rewritable in case of issues, then if it passes muster I'll burn the master

Insignia Blu Ray with Yamaha Reciever

I have and Insignia blu-ray player NS-WBRDVD and a Yamaha HTR-6030 receiver. The receiver doesn't have a HDMI input but it does have two optical and one coaxial input along with a bunch of others.
I connected the bluray optical out into the Yamaha DTV/CBL optical in. I do get a PCM indicator symbol on the reciever but I only get sound out of the front left and right speakers, also on the speaker indicators only those two ight up.
I ran the basic set up test and I get sound out of all of the speakers one at a time as the receiver runs the test.
I also notice that I don't get the DTS symbol to light up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eddie

What output setting is the receiver set for i.e. Dolby Prologic, Stereo, 6.1/7.1 Channel? I would need to know what each setting is on the DVD player for audio out and the receiver.

FCS3- working blue-ray with surround sound ?

Hi, I'm trying to solve the problem with surround and Blue-ray.
*Could anyone confirm that FCS3 can output working Blue-Ray with 5.1 Surround Sound, please?*
The surround sound is really important for me, I am able to make Blue-ray now via Toast, but it converts the surround to stero). As soon someone confirms it works, I'm going to upgrade... Thanks!

The only things I noted when I made my first own test, was that even though my FCP7 timeline was set properly to output the 6 channels, when I went to compressor 3.5 to produce both the H264 and the AC3 (with 6 channels), after the Blu ray disk was burnt, the audio was not playing correctly.
I fixed the problem by going from FCP7 to Compressor using the new function called "send to compressor", instead of using a self contained QT movie (which is my usual workflow).
In this specific case I found that it solved my problem and my second attempt to produce the Blu ray disk was ok, the audio played as expected on my Dolby receiver.
Regards,
Armando.

Will there EVER be a usable Blu-ray designing software on the Mac??????

I am SOOOO frustrated right now. I have a brand new Mac with FCP 7. I also have Adobe Encore. I also have Toast. I have been trying to use all three to make one BRD for 6 days! I first used Encore. The disk it made was all messed up (nothing new). The menu loads up, but the buttons won't highlight for about 45 seconds. Click on a button, and instead of going to the video, it starts the menu again. I assume it's me, so I open Encore and test there, everything works fine. I burn again, same problem.
I then decide it isn't worth fighting, so I try burning a Blu-ray from FCP7. I open the share menu, choose one of the awful built-in menus, and set it to go. I had it burn the BRD image to a harddrive, as my burner is on a different machine. After 12 hours!!!!! yes, 12 hours! I get an error saying the DSPPublishing didn't work (?????????). I hit try again, and a 10 minutes later, same issue! I hit cancel. I check the drive, and there is a .264 file and an ac3. I think, well, at least the video encoding is done. I try to make a blu-ray from FCP again, and it re-encodes the video!!!! 12 hours later, same error!!!!!!!!!
I decide to bring the finished files into Toast. The menus SUCK. The chapter markers? GONE. I try burning the disk anyway and it tries re-encoding the video files!! I go back and make sure it's set to 264, and the re-encoding is set to never. I try again, and it tries to re-encode the video again anyway!!!!
THIS *****!

Let me clarify a bit. I have been making Blu-rays for quite a while using Encore. And while the process has often been very painful, the results are good. I normally Export first as mentioned. However when Encore failed (and I still can't figure out why), I tried FCPs Blu-ray feature. So essentially, I have exported this three different times, and have no disks to show for it.
As for Encore, I like that you can make BRDs, that you can customize menus, etc. However, the fact that it locks up or crashes all the time is infuriating. The fact that you cant use multiple clips without causing the BRD to freeze at the end of each clip is maddening, and the fact that its interface has the speed of running a 3D rendering program on a Commodore 64 is nauseating.
Encore COULD be a great product, but as it stands, it is a nightmare to use!

Change Background in Menu Creation Encore CS4 and Photoshop

I am creating a menu using Encore and Photoshop. I Used the Encore Libray to create a blank background and also created a series of buttons adusting them in Photoshop CS4. However, when I try to change the background with a new jpg or psd file I open the picture in Photoshop but not as the new background layer I am trying to achieve. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I don't think I am explaining my problem correctly so if you have the patience I am sending you this little "Jing" movie which will show you my problem

Subject: Change Background in Menu Creation Encore CS4 and Photoshop
There should be no problem when adding the image of your choice, with Edit in Photoshop.
When you choose Edit in Photoshop, several things happen:
1.) a TMP PSD for that Menu is created.
2.) links are created between En and PS
3.) PS is launched, and that TMP PSD is then Opened in PS.
When one has edited that TMP PSD in PS, they must do a Save to allow those links back to En*.
If you are doing a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, those links will NOT be followed, and the Menu will NOT update in En.
Good luck,
Hunt
I have encountered some instances, where a single Save does not follow those links. With experimentation, I have found that 3 Saves (Ctrl+S) will force those links to be followed, and the Menu updated in En. Not sure why this happens sometimes, but 3 seems to be the "magic number," at least for me.

The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.
