Out of sync audio for Blu-Ray

Okay first
Win 7 i7, 12 gigs of Ram, the right video cards....
I have 2 sequences the first is an awards show 2:24 mins all edited with lower thirds and credits. Native 1920 x 1080 29.97 .MOV. This I output from Premiere using H264 BluRay and down scaled to 720. It work fine in ENCORE CS6.
The 2nd sequence is red carpet and green room interviews 1920x1080 29.97 .MOV files all edited with titles and lower thirds. When I output this the same as the 1st sequence, H264 BluRay and down scaled to 720 and then import the files as a time line into ENCORE CS6 the audio is out of sync. In fact it is about 1 sec faster than the video it starts off in sync and drifts.
If I output this sequence at 1920x 1080 no down scaling to 720 then it is in sync but the whole project is then too large to fit on a single layer Blu-ray disc this is why I have down scaled 720.
I have re-output it 6 different ways and the only way I get sync is at 1080. It makes no sense to me because the 1st sequence down scaled with no sync problems at all.
I even dropped the edited sequence into a new 720 sequence and scaled to frame size then output that and still the audio is out of sync.
Let me say so there is no misunderstanding the audio is in sync on the premiere time line the problem only occurs when output to ether H264 Blu-ray or MPEG2 Blu-ray if I down scale to 720. If output to 1080 no sync problems.
I don't know what to try now but go to a dual layer disc and I really hate to do that and waste 20 gigs of space.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dennis

If I output this sequence at 1920x 1080 no down scaling to 720 then it is in sync but the whole project is then too large to fit on a single layer Blu-ray disc this is why I have down scaled 720.
The only two factors which affect file size are bitrate and duration, specs like resolution and frame rate have no bearing.
Try using 1080 with a lower bitrate.

Audio and video out of sync making a blu ray

I am trying to make a blu ray dvd, and I'm having an issue. I have edited in Adobe premiere @ 1280x720 with a frame rate of 2997. I am then sending it to media encoder and using a 720 h264 blu Ray setting. There is no option for 2997 with these specs so I use 5994. My end result is that the audio starts drifting and end up being much shorter than the video. It's 3hrs long and I need this in sync! Please help.

I'm not really too surprised this is happening, as frame rate changes can cause serious problems.
I'm assuming you are in the USA here given the frame rate of 29.97 - but you do not say if your footage is progressive scan or interlaced, or what audio codec you are using.
What I would do is conform your video to one of the following BD-legal resolutions of 59.94p, 50p, 24p and 23.976p before you transcode to H264.
If you are running interlaced at 29.97 - as I suspect - then you must de-interlace & render to an interim resolution at one of the above and check your audio there before trying to both frame rate convert, deinterlace & compress all in one pass - this is never going to give ideal results.
My apologies if I come across as a grumpy old sod -- this is unintentional.

Mpeg 2 for Blu-ray audio exports with missing frames at beginning and end.

Im using a Matrox Axio LE system and the Matrox Media encoder to export an Mpeg 2 for blue-ray. My footage is shot in 1280x720p 59.94 drop frame. I have found that after exporting the file from the encoder and bringing it into Encore CS3 that the audio that was exported is a little shorter than the video. Frames are missing at the end of the file.
Because of this my video and audio are way out of sync. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Maybe on the Matrox forums.

5.1 mix for blu-ray from 6 mono tracks

Hi there,
I'm not too well versed in creating 5.1 mixes at the moment. Here's the project I've set out to do...
I currently have a 1hr 45min Apple Pro Res video with six mono tracks intended for a 5.1 mix for Blu-ray and DVD authoring. All six channels are in the order they should be in for 5.1 (i.e. 1st track LEFT, 2nd track RIGHT, 3rd track CENTRE, etc.). I'm just having difficulty in bringing the file back into Premiere and exporting it for Blu-ray H264 setting with the 5.1 mix functioning properly.
Please advise,
Mike

I'm a bit late coming to this thread.
As Jim says the problem with Premiere is that you can't just send a track to the LFE.
One work around that I use-
Put the LFE mono track on 2 tracks in your sequence. Send one track to centre and LFE and the other track just send to centre BUT put the invert audio effect on that track. This will cancel out the feed to the centre just leaving the LFE.

Dropped frames or out-of-sync audio

Using Sony HDR-FX1 and FCE-HD is set to DV-NTSC. I've also tried DV-NTSC Firewire Basic. I've been trying various suggestions I've found in the Discussions to cure dropped frames that prevent me from capturing and out-of-sync audio making footage I do capture useless. Mac is running 10.4 with 5.5 GB of RAM and dual 2 GHz G5.
I'm capturing to my main hard drive which has plenty of space - when I'm done editing, I archive old footage on an external drive.
"Abort capture on dropped frames" is currently checked. Lately, this means I can't get more than a few seconds without the capture stopping. This never used to happen, now it happens all the time no matter what tapes I'm capturing from.
If I uncheck it, the audio on the captured footage is out of sync. Over time, as I've been trying to trouble shoot this using the Discussions, my projects remain unfinished and deadlines are looming sooner and sooner.
If someonce could please help me I'd be very grateful.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Did you shoot in DV or HDV ?
Did you try to capture HDV with Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (or 50 for europe)?
Does you downconvert HDV shooted to DV upon capturing from camcorder ?
DV-NTSC 48 kHz is the way to go with downconverted material.
Does your DV audio setting is 16 bit on FX1 ? (HDV is a fixed one).

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

Out of sync audio markers

Why there are not out of sync audio warnings in final cut x?

Not sure this is the best place to ask questions about why 'features' are not in the application, but to give you a genral answer from the manual about what I assume you are pondering:
By default, Final Cut Pro imports audio and video from the same source into one clip. You can easily detach the audio from a video clip so that you can edit the audio clip separately in the Timeline.
This means that unless you detached the audio yourself, the clip is treated as one source. If you detach it, you are own your own.
If you are wanting to request a feature of some sort for Final Cut Pro X, try this Feedback Form.
Best of Luck!

Encore CS3 hangs on "Come for Blue-ray stay for Flash"! Leopard 10.5.2...

I just got my new MacPro running Leopard. Installed CS3 Master Collection. I opened Premiere ok, Photoshop, etc...but when I tried Encore it just hangs on the part that says "Come for Blue-ray stay for Flash"!
I tried to make a dvd out of premiere going to encore it just had the beach ball spinning.
Thanks in advance anyone who can help.
rb.
ps:not sure if this cause an issue but I installed an LG GGW-H20L blue-ray burner(it showed up fine in system profilier as sata device in the 2nd-lower open drive bay...)

An update.
Encore would not launch with the LG GGW-H20L installed in my brand new MacPro. Once I unplugged it it launched Encore CS3. So I do not recommend this blue-ray burner in OSX Leopard.
I'm wondering if the Pioneer BDR-202 would work with MacPro, Leopard 10.5.2, Encore 3.0.2 update.
If anyone has any info please share!

Extended Warranty for Blu Ray Player

Hello,
We purchased a panasonic blu ray player a few years ago and this January it stopped reading blu ray disks. After moving, I was finally able to unpack it and test it out again to no avail. I then got through all of my receipts and found the original receipt but the warranty has recently expired. Is there any way that I can have this device fixed through the store as my warranty has so recently expired and the issue was not resolved before its expiration? It was the 4 year extended warranty.
Thanks,
J

Hello J/haroude,
Thanks for reaching out with this question! Sorry to hear your bluray player has stopped reading disks. The definitely work better when they read the disks you put in them!
All kidding aside, there are a couple things you could try to troubleshoot for this issue:
·         Install any new firmware updates available for your unit (you can do this by connecting the player to the internet or looking on Panasonic’s website, by your specific model)
·         Clean the laser lens inside the player with a CleanDr. Laser Lens Cleaner for Blu-Ray Players
·         Perform a factory reset through the menu on the bluray player
Due to the expiration of your Geek Squad Protection plan, you would pay a non-refundable fee to have the player sent out for service. Then once the issue was identified, you should be contacted by a Geek Squad Agent with the quote for cost of repair before any further work is performed on the unit. Between the fee to have it sent out for service and the cost of the repair, you could probably purchase a brand new player for about the same price; maybe even less.
Please let me know if any of these troubleshooting processes remedy your issue. Also, feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns.
Thanks,

Batch transcoding for Blu-ray

Hello,
We have many short ~2 minute files with long filenames (so they can cleanly be used to form the chapter descriptions for the disc) organized into folders and, as mentioned in another thread, we are having difficulties preparing these files in advance for Blu-ray processing for Encore so they do not need to be transcoded when we select 4-5 to author a Blu-ray with. I tried to get around this by creating a massive project with all 500 of our files, using Encore CS6 to transcode all of them, then hoped Encore would know it transcoded that same asset in another project when we went to use 5 of those same files in another project. Unfortunately, not only did Encore not automatically detect that it had already transcoded the file for Blu-ray in another project, but when we went to manually locate the file, we saw that Encore truncated all our filenames to 20 characters in the Transcoded folder, followed by "_sessionA_blahbalhablh.m4v". Our filenames are not unique to 20 characters, so many filenames with A, B, C, D, etc suffixes were created and we have no way of telling what file is what. We can't even play the file to check, and we also can't compare the running length as Encore transcodes to elementary streams that can't be played back. Is there anyway to copy the transcoded asset knowledge from one project to the other so we can make use of the 3 days of compute time we appear to have wasted?
I've also looked into using Adobe Media Encoder to do this, but I think I'd need to take our files one folder at a time and run the transcode on them so they didn't get jumbled with the other files. I can't see a way to setup AME so that it handles recursive folders, and I also can't see a way of working with AME through command-line automation so that it can whir away and process one folder of 5-10 files at a time. All I can see is a way for it to turn out a similar output to our failure with getting Encore to transcode the files.
Any ideas on how we can batch-transcode for Blu-ray ahead of time instead of wait for Encore to transcode for every disc we build?

Encore is not long filename friendly, and will cause problems if you exceed an 80 character filename (Including spaces). Odd characters and in some cases excessive path depth can also be issues. The Encore authorcore (sonic based) is old, and just not modern filename friendly.
So I'd rethink the long filenames generally.
Ask your AME question in the AME forum. I do not know whether there is a good option for you or not.
hoped Encore would know it transcoded that same asset in another project when we went to use 5 of those same files in another project.
Encore creates a folder structure for the project, and under the sources/transcodes/ folders, a folder for each asset that is transcoded. As soon as you create a new project, all that is gone, and with it encore's memory for it. You can import those files as assets, but I assume your point is that you can't tell what is what.
We can't even play the file to check, and we also can't compare the running length as Encore transcodes to elementary streams that can't be played back.
The elementary stream is an m2v. You can play these (e.g. with vlc player). But all that would be cumbersome.
Still thinking about this...

Built for Blu Ray??

I am looking to buy a new Receiver that will be able to run my HDTVs, PS3, Surround sound system, Netflix Movie rentals, Apple TV, etc. I am considering a unit in the Yamaha Aventage series. But According to Best Buy's information, many of them are not "Built for Blu Ray). If you compare the RX-A1000 to the RX A-3000, the 1000 is not built for Blu Ray and yet it's a unit that costs a grand while the RX A-3000 is built for Blu Ray and it costs $1,800. What is the meaning of "Built for Blu Ray" in layman's terms? Do I need it (if so, why)? What am I missing if I don't have it?

I have found the term: "Built for Blu Ray" to be a general term that really does not denote a specific function. If the AVR you're considering has HDMI ins and outs it will inherently support any device (including Blu Ray) that has this standard connection. You do not need to seek out a unit that has this marketing mumbo jumbo and (in my humble experience) you won't be missing out on any functionality.
You probably DO need to be concerned if it has "HDMI Up-Conversion". This allows you to plug in analogue sources (composite or component... like the Nintendo Wii), and the receiver will convert the signal to a 1080p "like" image AND convert it to a digital signal and output it to HDMI. Without this functionality you will have to use analogue inputs and outputs. Almost all AVRs at the price you quoted are standard with this, but you should still double check.
When selecting a new AVR, you MAY also want to be sure that it is "3D Ready" even if you're not. This means it has the HDMI 1.4 version installed and will support 3D content. You may want to buy a future TV or device that has this functionality (your PS3 is already ready to play 3D Blu Rays if you've done recent firmware updates). 3D support is becoming more standard on AVRs these days though.
I hope this helps!

H.264 for Blu-Ray Encoding Time

Hi All,
I have exported a Pro-Res 1080p 2 hour film from FCPX and just dropped it into compressor. I have then dragged the default H.264 for Blu-Ray settings on my video and it looks like it will take way over three hours. I have a friend running Media Encoder and with the same file on his laptop it does it in 40min and it's a slower spec . I am running Compressor 4.1.3 and the latest MAC OS operating system. I have enabled additional instanced checked and the number 1 in the drop down (there are no other numbers)
Is there anything I am doing wrong, surely it can't be this slow, it's not even set to multipass.
Thanks

Sounds about right to me for a rMBP.
