Menu Problem with Blu Ray

Can anyone help? I've created a project that contains 2 edited movies. I have added a main menu, and given both movies a main menu marker, and an end marker. Normally on DVD's this would send you back to the main menu when each of the films were completed, but I cannot get this to work with Blu Ray. Am I missing something here? What happens in this case is that the Disc starts with the menu, but if you pick the first item, the film will play OK, but instead of reverting back to the main menu, it carries on and shows the next .. and on completion, just terminates - does not go to the menu. The same if you select the second item. it just plays through and terminates. It seems that the End markers are being ignored. Has anyone got any ideas ??

You can see how this product works by going to http://Muvipix.com and typing "DVD Architect" in the product search box. This will bring up a free 3-part Basic Training tutorial series where you can see the product demonstrated.

  • Sync Problem with Blu Ray

    I have a sync problem when using Premiere Pro CS5 to burn Blu Ray DVDs and wondered if anyone has had similar problems and has found a simple solution. 
    Equipment:  Panasonic HMC-150 (AVCHD), shot at 59.94 fps, 720.  MacPro with operating system up to date, quad core, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro 4000. PP CS5 also has all current updates downloaded.
    When the AVCHD files are imported, they tend to be out of sync by 8 to 22 frames.  I manually resync and edit.  Then burn a Blu Ray DVD using Encore and end up out of sync again.  I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out.  At this point, the only solution I can think of is to try to figure out how far out of sync I am once the DVD is burned and offset the audio that amount before transcoding.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before?  Any suggestions? 
    Thanks. 

    I have done some more tests and have determined that the problem only exists with Blu-ray.  When I burn a non blu-ray dvd, video and audio remain in sync. I attempted to export to Final Cut Pro 7 using the export xml feature, but it doesn't work.  I brought the original footage into FCP and burned a portion of it to blu-ray using the Share feature and there was no sync problem.  So I guess my only alternative at this point is to re-edit the entire video in FCP.
    In Premiere Pro I've checked to make sure that both the camera and the intake were set for no drop frame and they were.  I've tried double checking the audio sync using the audio line out from the Mac rather than the firewire out to the Mackie Mixer, just in case there was a latency problem, which didn't seem logical and there wasn't any difference.  It can't be a problem with the blu-ray burner since it works in FCP7.  I'm running out of ideas of things I can tweak in Premiere, other than guessing just how far out of sync the program pushes the audio and then unlinking audio and pushing it the same number of frames the other direction before burning the blu-ray, but that will be hit and miss and it will start getting expensive throwing away blu-ray disks. 
    Any other ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Jon

  • Problems with blu-ray pop-up menus

    I made the mistake of tacking this question/problem onto another similar post, so here it is again for some:
    I got this error message near the end of the disc build:
    Blu-ray Error: "fatal error". Code: "6", Note: "Graphics buffer underflows.
- Failed to multiplex with maximum IG PTS: 54900000 (in 90kHz).
    The blu-ray project I am working on is an 87 min live concert with about 8 other much shorter timelines.  The main menu has 6 buttons with a motion background.  There are few submenus as well, but the problem came when I started making pop-up menus for the various timelines.
    This is the first project where I really had to explore the possibliltes and limitations of Encore's pop-up menus.  I burned a test disc with just a basic pop-up menu to see how the menu's opacity would look over the final video.  All the video assets were set to to transcode "Automatically".  All audio assets are blu-ray compliant Surround ac3's or 16-bit stereo WAV's so could be left as "Don't Transcode".  This disc burned perfectly.
    I then went through the pretty involved process of making a final version of the main pop-up menus.  The main concert's pop-up menu has 5 pages (including page 0).  There are specific pop-up menus for other timelines, but those have no more than 2 pages.  None of the menus have more than 10 buttons.
    I tried to burn the disc, and it came back with the error above.  After reading some other posts, I thought it was worth a try to delete the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder before starting a new burn since it was already filled with files from my test burn.  That didn't help.
    Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    After countless tests and research, I finally have a successfully burned blu-ray with WORKING multi-page pop-up menus (that I am happy with).  Thank you to all the people who gave theoretical guidance and suggestions in emails and other posts.  There has been no shortage of oddities and obstacles to overcome when just trying to make a simple blu-ray.  Unfortunately,  I did not have the time to accurately pinpoint what was causing the original error message.  The project just needed to get done.
    The main pop-up menu has 4 pages, with 13 buttons on each page.  Only about 5 - 9 of the "buttons" on each page are actual buttons that link anywhere.  The other buttons on each page only serve as the remaining pieces of the menu's background and cannot be accessed on the final disc.  Totally ridiculous way to make the backgrounds for pop-up menus, but it works.
    Some of the other things I learned regarding pop-up menus + Encore misc:
    1.  If at all possible, totally create a menu .psd BEFORE bringing it into an Encore project.  Make the button order in the .psd what you want it to end up being in the end (bottom layer is button 1).  If you start editing and saving order after it has been brought in, Encore will almost always revert it back to some strange (possibly original) button order.  You will spend all your time re-routing button navigation and changing their numbers, only to find out later that Encore has changed it all back without notice.
    2.  As many people state, it is best to have Encore do as little thinking as possible.  All of my button groups originally had Text Layers within them with some fx applied.  I merged each text layer down into that button's background layer to essentially rasterize the text with the fx applied.  Each (+) button group therefore only had a higlight layer and a background layer.  After doing this for all the buttons, the .psd file size was greatly reduced.  Naturally I saved a copy before going through the merging process in case I ever had to go back and edit the text.
    3.  Originally the background for the pop-up menus were made from a rectangle cut-out of the background of the main menu.  This was the width of the frame and around 1/5 of the height.  I had changed the opacity to around 60%, and cut up the pieces to go with their respective buttons.  For the final disc, I just made a shape with the Rounded Rectangle Tool, and filled it with a solid colour.  It is probably only about half the size of the original pop-up menu's background.  I changed its opacity as well, but then merged it with a blank layer so Encore didn't have to think about the opacity setting.
    4.  I encoded all the video elements BEFORE they were brought into the project.  There are some issues with the way the file sizes are interpretted by Encore, but I won't trust it to encode anything again.
    5.  For some reason Encore wants to transcode 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .aiff files when making a blu-ray, but 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .wav files do NOT need trancoding (for both dvds and blu-rays).

  • Mainconcept Mpeg Pro HD and Encore transcode problems with blu-ray

    I wanted to use premiere pro to edit my HDV files and import them into Encore to produce Blu-ray discs without transcoding. I have tried the Mainconcept Mpeg Pro HD plugin 3.1 as this should provide smart transconding of the edited file. I have been having difficulty in exporting from Premiere a file which will import into Encore and to flag it as don't transcode for blu-ray.
    I have only been able to get Encore to not transcode if the file is demultiplexed into seperate video and audio files and that the video file must be a program stream. Unfortunatly I can only get Mpeg Pro to export a transport stream and I have to multiplex it onto a program stream for Encore.
    Is there a way to export from Mpeg Pro with smart transcoding a file which will not be transcoded by Encore.
    Regards Trevor

    If I choose the default BR disc export settings from the MainConcept MPEGPro export module, the file is automatically set to Multiplexing:None.
    Is that what you are trying to do?
    Another method to try is to make sure that the audio settings in a program stream from MPEGPro match the BR audio transcoding settings in Encore. If the audio is mismatched, then the whole file will be re-transcoded in Encore.

    thanks 4 help.

    I tried in Firefox 3 and IE7 and they both seemed fairly slow
    for any action to take place. But IE7 did seem pretty slugish.
    It seems that you're already determined what the issue is,
    you have waaaaaay too many menu items. Seems to me that that number
    of items don't belong in a menu. There are even menus that are too
    long to appear entirely on the page, so they can't be easily
    accessed without accidentally hiding the menus again, which I did
    several times. IN particular:
    Cartuchos > Technologica
    If you cannot change to a different format to show all of the
    items, then perhaps you can split up the menu so that you don't
    have too many at one time. I checked the code of your page and it
    seems that you've got a lot of other scripting going on there
    besides Spry, so is the issue with Spry or with everything else
    you're trying to do with that menu. If you can try to recreate the
    page with only the menu items on it (and not pulled in dynamically
    on the fly), and then add back to your page a bit a time, you might
    be able to find out what is really causing the delays.

  • IMac with Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive. When?

    Is there any info about when iMacs with Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive will be available?

    Apple sits officially in the Blu-Ray camp so HD-DVD is less likely. 
    A slot-loading drive exists but only Apple know when and if they choose to use it in the iMac.
    At this time even the Mac Pro doesn't have it as an option (unless you install yourself for $700, although that does inc Toast Ti).

  • Satellite L775-119 - Upgrade with blu-ray drive?

    Had my L775-119 for a few weeks, and it's going great, really pleased but am just wondering if it's possible, sometime in the future to upgrade the DVD RW Drive to a Blu ray re-writer?

    Hello
    Im not Satellite L775 owner but I think it should be possible because some L770/L775 models are delivered with blu-ray drive so generally speaking it seems that the notebook support such drives.
    But you can get an exact answer from an authorized service provider. The guys can order a compatible drive for you and install it if you are not familiar with notebook part exchange.
    Do you know how to contact an authorized service provider?

  • Problems burning Blu-Ray DVD with Encore CS6 Creative Cloud version

    I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 from Creative Cloud on a high performance PC. Everything works fine but Encore Blu-Ray burn will not finallize... get error message after most of disc is burned. Have tried several burns without success. Same files burn okay with Cyberlink software. Seems to be a bug with CS6 Encore files.
    Have tried with Cyberlink removed from machine.... same problem. 
    Any suggestions??

    The error is: Blu-ray Error, "device error", Code "3", Note, "AS-StorageError = 97071
    I imported one HD Blu-Ray MPG file encoded in Premiere Pro for Blu-Ray DVD about 4GB in size.  It was set-up with simple "Play menu".  It burns up to the point of finalization, then the above error message occurs.
    I insstalled a second Blu-Ray burner (different brand) and attempted another burn but with same error message.  Also tried different brand of discs.
    I have a second computer that I had previously loaded the trial version of Permiere Pro CS6, then later opted to do complete install via Creative Cloud.   CS6 Encore will burn a Blu-Ray disc on this system with the same file without any problem or error messages.
    It seems to be a problem with the Creative Cloud installation on the first computer???

  • Problems creating Blu Ray Discs with AME Presets in CS4

    After several weeks wasted (months back) with an ATI 5750 graphics card in Win 7/and CS4 (not working correctly) - I finally resolved by swapping with a NVidia GTS250 card .....but all my troubles are not over yet ....
    I'm running Premiere CS4 and have finally just got down to testing creation of a Blu Ray test disc from some AVCHD 1920x1080 HD footage I am editing from my new camera.
    My work in CS4 is just testing at present as I used to use CS3 [still have on my dual core machine with Matrox RTX2]  - and have successfully created Blu Ray discs from HDV material in CS3 - but using Blu Ray MPEG 2 settings.
    New machine Win 7 - 64 bit
    Premiere CS4 is at 4-2-0 version
    Encore at 4-0-1 version
    These are the last updates
    I've selected a short test piece (about 2 mins)on Premiere timeline and initially tried Media export using Adobe Media encoder.
    I selected H264 BluRay codec in media encoder. Hi quality 1080 25 fps.(PAL)
    This creates dual MP4 Video and Audio streams
    Encode process goes OK, just slightly slower than real time, (I'm using i7-930 Quad Core and Win 7 64 Bit)
    Now - when I come to input the encoded video file into Encore as an Asset - Encore freezes and the whole machine locks up !!!
    Audio file imports OK but the Encore software does not like the encoded Video file
    I've re-installed Premiere and Encore twice in case of bad install. It wasn't that.
    I also found Adobe Media player couldn't play the file created by AME either - but it would play on a Premiere timeline?
    So is Adobe Media encoder messing up here ?
    So - .....3 hours of testing later ....I stumble on a Support thread from someone on the Forum that they found AME preset has "HIGH" in the Encoding Profile Preset - when it should be MAIN ?.
    Not sure what these settings do - but tried changing that parameter and re-encoded the Video file with H264 BluRay setting - all to no avail as when I try importing again the machne just locks up ?
    My final search in Premiere help file about creating BluRay discs ONLY talks about using MPEG 2 BluRay setting for creating BluRay discs
    It does not specify H264. Why is that?
    Can one of the moderators / experts confirm if H264 Blu ray format  is supported for BluRay disc creation in CS4 please??
    Better still please tell me the exact settings for Adobe Media encoder so it will import into Encore without having to be transcoded again.
    H264 should work - yes ?
    Final comment
    As an alternative method, I tried sending the short timeline in Premiere (using Dynamic Link)  to Encore to test that route for making a BluRay disc
    Bearing in mind the sequence is only about 2 mins long - when I ty to Transcode using the engine within Encore - the process takes a ridiculously long time and twice it has crashed just before the end of the process......
    Can someone explain why the encode process in Encore takes such a long time as I thought it used the Adobe Media encoder engine as well.?
    Adobe Media Encoder is much faster used stand alone mode.
    Encore seems to not use that ?
    Anyway - conclusion is that using Encore to encode the tmeline is a non starter as it takes too long.
    why so slow  on such a fast machine?....I know HD encoding is demanding but not that demanding with a decent machine.
    So the question is ....
    How do I encode in the most efficient and fastest way possible (using H264)  for Blu Ray authoring into Encore without need for more Transcodes?
    Any help or suggestions welcome as I'm now hitting my head against the wall :-)
    I have not gone through Adobe Support desk as it is usually a waste of time.{Dear VP of Adobe Customer Service - please do get this sorted out in the near future  if you want to retain loyal customers....}
    I cannot believe how disappointing  CS4 is turning out to be.
    After investing in a very fast PC machine etc the whole user experience is somewhat of a let down.
    Why so many issues for such a small test??

    Picking up on my original post about H264 - as I have a dual boot machine I also have a clean  installed Win 7 /64bit partition which I use for general bits of work.
    On that I have CyberPowerDVD SW installed which plays all Video files fine including BluRay material etc.
    Interestingly when I try to play the file that AME has created from the BluRay H264 preset it says 'It cannot play the file as it is a format it does not recognise...'
    This is really weird and would suggest AME is not encoding the file corrrectly??
    I have already removed and made a re-install of CS4 on my main [video editing] partition but there were some fragments of CS4 left intact
    How do I completely remove everything?
    I tried the CS4 clean script but it said it relied on Microsoft CLean Up utility and gave a link
    When I loooked on Microsoft web site the link to download it had been removed?
    Also Adobe say the CS4 remove script is no longer supported ?
    Can anyone advise on the correct tool/procedure to completely remove CS4 from a Win 7/64bit installation so I can then try re-install of CS4 one more time....in case the installation is corrupt in some way
    I can't explain why I am having this problem otherwise if other people find AME encodes OK with H264 BluRay preset.

  • Is it possible to make a high res. DVD slide show that can be viewed with blue ray player/HDTV that retains high res. quality?

    I have used PE 12 to make slide shows on DVD but the quality is just not there when I view on HDTV.  Is there a way to accomplish this using Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 12?

    salrgrl
    Assuming that you are going to use the Elements Organizer Slideshow 12/12.1 as the sole builder of the slideshow and Premiere Elements 12/12.1 just for the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc....
    1. Before you start, open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to its Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In Change Settings, set the project preset to NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR [email protected]. OK out of there.
    In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and put a check mark "Force Selected Project Settings on This Project". OK out of there.
    Minimize the program and do your Elements Organizer slideshow work.
    1. Build your slideshow in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor with photos with a 16:9 frame aspect ratio. If you can get away with pixel dimensions of over 1920 x 1080 and avoiding pre-cropping/resizing, then just make sure the frame aspect ratio = 16:9. If your photos are 3:2 or 4:3, then cropping to 16:9 before they get into the Elements Organizer. The question is whether the transfer from Elements Organizer to Premiere Elements is going to be influenced by photos oversized for the 1920 x 1080 16:9 project. If a problem, then we may have to back track and crop resize to 16:9 1920 x 1080. The photos are going to end up at 1920 x 1080 away in encoding.
    Please go with the Crop to Fit Slide as shown in the screenshot - will not compromise the goal here.
    2. When you are ready to send the Elements Organizer Slideshow to Premiere Elements for the burn to AVCHD on DVD....
    a. Save the slideshow as a Slide Show Project to the Elements Organizer.
    b. In the Elements Organizer, select the slideshow's Slide Show Project thumbnail, and then Share Menu/Burn Video DVD/Blu-Ray.
    c. When you do that, your slideshow will be in a Movie Menu/Publish+Share areas of the program which has the pre-set manually wanted project preset.
    The workflow choice was made since your intention was to use Premiere Elements just for the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc.
    3. Publish+Share
    Disc
    AVCHD
    with Presets =
    The presets is going to be the one that will give you the best results.
    First, look at Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080pNTSC Dolby....the one with the 23.976 progressive frame rate.
    Second, look at Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080iNTSC Dolby...the one with the 29.97 interlaced frame rate.
    The first choice in this particular case was made to be consistent with the Premiere Elements project preset
    that you set manually at the beginning to
    NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR [email protected].
    And, that was done since there are many reports that this project preset results in sharper images in the burn to products when
    all photos are involved in the slideshow.
    Please review and consider, and then we can decide if the above looks like it going to meet your expectations for viewing.
    Thanks for considering the above.

  • 2 questions with Blu-ray authoring on CS5

    so first up, how do you make a seamless motion menu? just to get my feet wet on this first project, i just want to have a song playing in the background, while it goes through each of the chapter menu pages. i havent tested it on a real player yet, because i'm still tweaking menus, but in the Encore review box emulator, at each page the song starts up again. isnt that part of the blu-ray specification? seamless motion menus? basically what i did was i just set the song as the motion menu audio on the main first menu. and assumed (you know what that makes me) that that would set the seamless motion menu... not so much... so is there anyway to remedy this?
    one more thing. i've yet to create the pop-up menu (probably will get to those this weekend), but i'm just brainstorming this, and was wondering if it can be done per blu-ray specification (or even more specific, per EnCS5 specification). the feature has 43 chapters, can i have it set up to where the pop-up is about 11340 px wide by 75-100 px high, and have it scroll through the menu off screen? or does the entire pop-up menu have to be contained within the screen size? i was just envisioning making a pop-up menu that had a link to each chapter, and was 43 links across, and once you got to say the 6 link or so, and hit right arrow, it just keeps feeding more options onto the screen. or would i have to just make like 7 transparent basic text menus in PS 1620x100, with 6 links per menu, and have a clickable arrow at the end of each pop-up linking to the next pop-up that you must press enter on (for examply laid out like this:
    Main Menu Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 --> | <-- chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 --> | <-- chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 --> | etc, ect. )
    i would prefer it to be just one long continuous menu, that you can seamlessly fly through (picture 'iPod cover flow' from the iPhone/iPod Touch iPod app), but if thats not in the specification, OR if its only compliant with BD-J, then is the second scenario (th one listed above) possible with Encore?
    BTW: project destination is a BD-R DL because of how much footage i have, i had to succumb to the DL, so menu size should not be a problem at all as far as storage concerns.
    i guess thats all for now.
    -andrew

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    i just want to have a song playing in the background, while it goes through each of the chapter menu pages. i havent tested it on a real player yet, because i'm still tweaking menus, but in the Encore review box emulator, at each page the song starts up again. isnt that part of the blu-ray specification? seamless motion menus?
    You need to have a multi-page menu for a seamless playback.
    Steps:
    1. Import your menu and open it on the menu editor
    2. Menu ->Add New Page
    3. add all the chapter buttons
    4. Cretae a previous button and link the page to main page
    (repeat step 2-4 if you want more chapter menus, you also need to add Next button and should be linked to next page)
    4. Now add your audio to the menu
    ->you can get a seamless playback now. Encore simulator doesn't support multi-page preview support, so you need to verify this on any BD player only.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    one more thing. i've yet to create the pop-up menu (probably will get to those this weekend), but i'm just brainstorming this, and was wondering if it can be done per blu-ray specification (or even more specific, per EnCS5 specification). the feature has 43 chapters, can i have it set up to where the pop-up is about 11340 px wide by 75-100 px high, and have it scroll through the menu off screen? or does the entire pop-up menu have to be contained within the screen size?
    Again, you can achieve this using Multi-page menu.

  • Problems playing blu-ray on Aspire V3-771G

    I bought an V3-771G a few years ago but I have never used it to play a Blu-ray disc. I should do that today but i didn´t work at all :-(  The disc is read and clear.fi starts but the video dosen´t decode to anything but garbage. Static information like menues to select episode is shown after a while but video is just "noise". clear.fi is updated to the latest version using the "look for uptates" menu and a DVD will play correct. Any suggestions about the reason for this?

    Yes - I installed a trial version of AnyMP4 and it played the disk without any problem. (There are also at least two Blu-ray stickers on the computer...) I can´t se any other explanation than a bug in Clear.fi? I don´t like to buy an additional software when I already paid for Clear.fi with the computer but maybe that´s the easiest solution. 

  • Help with Blu Ray burning requested

    I've been using PRE for many years now very succesfully with no significant problems until I entered the world of HD and Blu Ray. My system specs are at the bottom of this post.  I've been recording HD for some years now on my Sony HDV camcorder and rewriting the final production back onto HDV tapes.  I recently decided to move up and get myself a blu ray writer now that burners and media have become affordable (well relatively) . . . and the beginning of all my problems.
    Normally I create 10 minute final productions from about an hour of footage; however, after a 3-week trip to China, I've created a 50 minute production from which I want to create a Blu Ray disk.  The production contains quite a lot of transitions, titles and still images (taken with 10 Megapixel camera).
    I can render the project OK although it does take quite a few hours.  However, my system crashes (Blue Screen) at about 85% of the way through the Blu Ray encoding process.  I've split the project into 2 seperate projects - one of 20 minutes and one of 30 minutes.  The 20 minute one burns to Bly Ray ok but the 30 minute project still crashes (Blue Screen again) towards the end.  One obvious solution would be to split the project down in to 3 seperate projects and burn to 3 Blu Ray disks but this kind of ruins the point of having a Blu Ray writer as I could have created 3 AVCHD DVD disks instead.
    The problem seems to be lack of memory.  The encoding process seems to work in the 1 - 2 GB space until very near the end when the memory requirement seems to soar up to 4 GB limit.  My suspicion is that Premiere is trying to use all the system memory and tramples over the system needs hence causing the whole system to Blue Screen.
    I've scoured through the various forums and have found that lots of other users have had similar problems but not found any solutions.  Has anyone managed to create a decent sized Blu Ray disk from Premiere Elements - and, does anyone know the minimum configuration for doing this. 
    System:
    Premiere Elements 8
    Sony Viao VPCCW1S1E - Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 running Windows 7, 4 GB memory with everything running on the system c: drive.with 150 GB free.

    Thanks Steve

    Steve,
    First a question: what is the size of your still images in pixel x pixel dimensions?
    Now, a BSOD is almost always a hardware issue. The most common causes are:
    1.) Heat build up, especially with regard to the CPU
    2.) RAM - usually a block going bad
    3.) Powersupply either under powered for the load, going bad or perhaps a rail not being up to the necessary voltage.
    3.) MoBo - often a soldered connection (could be almost anywhere in the bus) heating up and separating.
    First thing that I would do would be to turn OFF Reboot on Error, in hopes that there will be something useful on the BSOD. Next, I would download and install SpeedFan, which will monitor every sensor on your computer. Along the way, I would check the operations of all fans, and clean out any dust. Run the system under the same load, but with SpeedFan's GUI up. Watch the temps everywhere.
    This ARTICLE's links will point you to several great utilities, including SpeedFan.
    There are also RAM testing utilities, and I would run those.
    Check the output of your power supply and check that against what is needed for each rail. Do not forget to add the load of your new BD burner.
    In case the BSOD screen does not offer any help (often it's just bunches of code, that no one can gather any info from), this ARTICLE will give you tips on finding out clues as to what is happening on your computer, when the BSOD happens.
    Though it will likely not help, as a BSOD is most often hardware related, but this ARTICLE will help you get your system ready (once the BSOD issue is solved) for Video editing.
    Last, having only one HDD is a big handicap when editing Video, and doubly so with HD. One needs an absolute minimum of 2x 7200 RPM (min.) HDD's, and my recommended minimum is 3x. For HD playback, Adobe recommends at least a RAID 0 for the media drive, for PrPro. PrE is not that much different, regarding real-world system requirements for HD.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
