LaCie d2 blu-ray 8X burner and Premiere Pro CS4/ Encore

Is anyone using this combo? If you are, have you burned a blu-ray movie yet?
I am wanting to purchase a player known to work with PP CS4.
I plan to use a Canon HFS 100 and the H.264 codec.
Any suggestions out there?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question directly about that piece of hardware. Others should be along with knowledge of it.
In the meantime, you might want to read this ARTICLE by Neil Wilkes from the Adobe Encore FAQ. There is a lot of good, general Burning info in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

I'm not sure that I am getting everything from your post.

Did you have the full-paid version originally, or the "trial?"
If you had the full-paid version, why did you download the trial?
If you had the trial, it does stop working after a period of time - it is limited that way. If you had the trial, you can never install another trial on that machine. It's a one-time deal.
If you did have the trial, you will want to not only uninstall it, but also run the Adobe CS4 CleanScript a few times, before you attempt to install the full-paid version, or you WILL have problems.
Let us know exactly what you had, and what you wish to do now, and someone can help you.
Good luck,

Topaz Enhance and premiere pro cs4

Does topaz enhance work with premiere pro cs4? how good is it? im interested in upscaling som of my dvds using premiere and topaz - has anyone any experience with this?
i have both after effects and ppro cs4. ive installed topaz and i can load it in AE but its not showing up in premiere. probably because i installed topaz to the AE directory. how would i get it to work with both applications? I tried copying the folder from the after effects plugins to the premiere plugins folder but it didnt work.

though the website clearly said that it works with premiere too. it just said premiere cs3 and above though. just wanted to be sure...

Panasonic AG-HMC74ER and Premiere Pro CS4

Hi i need help i use Premiere Pro CS4 with Black Magic Intensity Pro and Panasonic AG-HMC74ER europian version.All is working fine but a have a problem when importing an MPG2 files because my Panasonic AG-HMC74ER recording on SD card and with software who come with Panasonic AG-HMC74ER i copy and convert files.I,ts show me unsuported or corupted file and i tray to import on Premiere Pro 2.0 its working fine. Why is so did i miss something or need some plugin for this? Please somebody help to me i need to finish my project and i,m a mad about this problem.

The trial does not support HDV, or any MPEG format for that matter. So you have to use the in-camera downrez to SD function in order to capture in a standard DV project. Whether you shot in 24F is not relevant, your tape was still recording and running at 60 Hz, so choose a 29.97 DV format.

Use After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 with Creative Cloud license

I have a one-year license for Creative Cloud, but because I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7, I can't use After Effects and Premiere Pro. On the website I read that for users with a 32bit OS it is possible to use AE and PP CS4 with the CC license. But I can't find a way to download CS4 with my Creative Cloud account. Can anybody help me with this? Is it possible to download CS4 with a CC license?

I have marked the remark in red. It says: "If you want to use the Windows XP supported After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro, you have to download the CS-4-versions of the software with your Creative Cloud Membership. U can also use these versions with a 32-bit Windows Operating System."

Canon HF11 AVCHD and Premiere Pro CS4

I had been using a Canon Optura xi for years with good success, and recently with Adobe On Location with good success.
Recently I decided to take the plunge into HD and purchased the Canon HF11 which has AVCHD.
I realize now that without firewire support I cannot use On Location. Too bad because I really liked the ability to note my scenes, etc.
I'm having a little trouble getting everything to work together and was hoping someone could offer some suggestions.
My output is going to be hi def for you tube and for family movies (burned to DVD and/or AppleTv).
1. If file size is not an issue should I always shoot at highest quaility?
2. Would I choose the setting AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) non-amorphic?
What recommendations would you have for exporting to You Tube, DVD, and Apple TV. So far my exports have been a little blocky.
Last, would you recommend purchasing AVCHD upshift to make the editing process a little less painful ($50 vs a $3,000 for new system).
Chris

Thanks for the response. I'm going to try this out tomorrow for youtube.
If I were to export from premiere for anything but youtube and maintain highest quality for playback on a PC what would you suggest? There are just so many presets I don't know what to pick. I've tried a few (Quicktime) and they look lousy.
Maybe I'm missing something, I see other people mentioning interlacing, etc. Someone else suggested shooting 24P to eliminate interlacing issues?
Thanks for helping me get to a resoltion.

After Effects CS4 problem (and Premiere Pro CS4)

For the past two days I've had trouble starting my Adobe software. (AE and PP)
I've suddenly gotten this:
I've had this software for a year or two with no issues whatsoever. I have not put in my serial for fear it's a virus.
Things I've done to try to fix this:
Restart the computer (many times)
Run AVG scanning over the entire computer (done multiple times)
Run CCleaner to check for any issues and cleaning (done multiple times)
Restored the computer back a few weeks ago when I knew the software was working. First few times I did this, it would just restart, and say it couldn't restore because a process was stopping it from running. Ended up restoring it in safe-mode sucessfully.
Check for any weird processes on my computer. Nothing strange.
Any ideas where to go from here?
Thanks in advance, - WilsonCW

You should receive the dialog if you are running in trial mode each time you launch the application. Also looking at this thread it appears you used a registry cleaner and then a restore point but I don't see that you have tried reinstalling the software? Have you tried removing and reinstalling the software?
Also as a tip before using any type of registry cleaner I would recommend always going into Regedit and backing up your registry. This way if the registry cleaner does do damage you can restore the damage which was done.

After Effects & Premiere Pro CS4 users: Turn off "Make text and other items larger or smaller" (Win)

I just made a brief blog post recommending that After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 users turn off the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting in Windows 7, since it causes some problems.
Please use this thread to let us know whether this solved a problem for you or whether there are any problems with this solution.

There isn't really an option to "turn off" the feature. Do you mean to say that it should be set to "Smaller - 100% (default)"?

Render quality drops when importing sequences from Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I have both AE and Premiere Pro CS4, and, because my Media Encoder doesn't work (a common problem, apparently), I import my sequences into AE to render. However, I've noticed a marked drop in quality in the sequence when imported into AE as opposed to when it's in Premiere Pro. It's comparable to a "Full" dropping to a "Half" when changing preview render quality in AE. What am I doing wrong? Is there some simple way to match the quality of the AE Comp (that has the PP sequence in it) to what the original Premiere Pro project has? Should I not be putting the PP project into a new comp in AE before I render it out? Is there another way that can retain the quality of the original Premiere Pro project?
This is urgent, as I need this rendered by Monday. Any help would be appreciated! Obviously, this is the first major project I've done this "workaround" with. I wish AME worked, but it doesn't for me.
Thanks!

By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
Hope that helps,
Seb

Blu-Ray video capture and burning with G4 Power Book ??

Good afternoon.
Has anybody figured out this route with a G4?
If so, please explain in nauseating details! Hardware, software, etc.......
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your reply.
It's also my understanding that OS X doesn't natively offer Blu-Ray support, and that an external Blu-Ray player/burner is required (see OWC) along with capture and burning software (Toast 10).
I'm wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded.

Blue Ray disk created using premiere 10 does not show menus

I have a video project with a main menu and 5 scene menus. I burn the project (using premiere Elements 10) to a Blue-ray disc using preset H.264 1920x1080i PAL Dolby with quality option set to "Fit Contents to available space" . The software happily creates the disc with 17.6GB of data (main stream, 00000.m2ts is 18,413,568 KB (17.5GB) and 6 small streams for main & scene menus.
However, when this disc is reinserted into the drive, it does not automatically start with the main menu.
If I burn the same project to a DVD with PAL_Widescreen_DolbyDVD preset with quality option set to "Fit Contents to available space", it creates the DVD which, when reinserted into the drive, starts automatically with the main menu.
The environment is Wndows 7 64bit with SONY BD RW BWU-500S ATA Device .
What do I need to do to get the Blue Ray disc to start with the main menu?

Thanks for the reply.
Any day now I am intending to update the following blog post dealing with the type of computer Blu-ray playback situation that you are facing, but I have not gotten to it yet.
Please review the blog post. It will give an idea of some of the issues involved.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Blu-ray Computer Playback and More
Please look at the Media Player Classic HC x64.
The VCL player description is for 2.0.8, 32 bit, the latest non beta version at the time (August 2013). But the principles should hold up in later versions of the VCL Player.
I should have updates on my 2013 observations soon.

Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

Has anyone burned 1080p blu-ray discs using Final Cut Pro alone?

I am in the market for a new computer. Currently I am a PC user who has burned Blu-Ray discs using Pinnacle. I am dissatisfied with that software because it hangs and crashes at critical moments in the rendering and burn process. I am considering switching to Mac but will only do so if I can burn true Blu-Ray movies which are playable in an ordinary Blu-Ray player.
I have read some of the discussions on this board and it is not clear to me whether it is yet possible to burn 1080p Blu-Ray discs playable on any Blu-Ray player using Final Cut Pro alone. Can someone confirm for me whether they have done this? Some users have indicated they can only output 720p using Final Cut Pro (which is not very satisfying). Others have indicated it is necessary to use Adobe Encore. If you have to use Adobe Encore to burn, why use Final Cut Pro at all? Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?

And yes you can author single track 1080p blu ray discs with Compressor 3.5.
But that's not what the OP asked, "using FCP alone."
Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?
Well, why not just put CS4 on your PC, especially considering you already have the BD hardware?
There is no truth to the rumor that applications running on Macintosh are any more stable than the same apps a PC; all systems crash.

LaCie d2 Blu-ray XL Via Thunderbolt

Using a
LaCie d2 Blu-ray XL
with my 2012 imac. The drive supports Firewire 400 and USB2, utilizing the 400 to 800 firewire cable supplied I bought a Thunderbolt port and I'm only getting 3X speeds instead of 6x speeds. Am I doing something wrong?

BB wrote:
Serial ATA Interface (Rev 2.6); Data transfer rate: 1.5Gb/sec
That is not the read speed of the drive, that is only the interface speed. In the case of CD/DVD/Blu-ray the interface speed is several times faster than the drive actually is. The physical transfer of the bits off of the spinning disk is the limiting factor.
The speed difference between USB 2.0 and FW400 isn't all that much but FW400 uses far less cpu cycles for the data transfer.
According to several sites the maximum read speed of BD on that drive is 10X (just under 45 Mbytes/sec) which is pushing the limits of USB 2.0 and FW400 but the 3X you report means something is definitely amiss somewhere in the system. It could be a drive problem, a disk problem, or something else.
With my Thunderbolt to FW800 adapter I'm getting about 170 Mbytes/sec transfer from my drives that use RAID 0 mirroring and the limiting factor is definitely the data transfer between the spinning platter(s) and the drive electronic buffer.
