PE 8 burns DVD, but not Blu-ray disc

I have recently updated to PE 8.01 but all of this took place before the update. I successfully burned a 1 hour HD Blu-ray with no problem (all video from Canon HF200 and pictures from Canon Rebel xti). I then tried to burn a different project that was 2 1/2 hours long. In this disc, I did include a short AVI file from a camera (maybe this is why??). I had to cut video out because it kept telling me I didn't have enough room on the blu ray, even though my total was under the 25 gig storage capacity of the blu-ray disc. Each time I cut video/pictures it shut the program down and I had to restart the program about 6 times. I finally chose to compress to fit and it failed to burn to a blu-ray and blue screened our computer after 14 hours of enocoding and burning. Then I tried to compress it to a DVD and it burned successfully in 6 hours. I thought it might burn to blu-ray so I tried again and it blue screened our computer after 6 hours (it was 75% complete).
Computer is a HP Pavilion Elite. Intel I-9 processor, 12 gigs RAM, it has two 1 Terabyte hardrives, and has GPU invidia. I bought this computer ONLY to render HD to blu-ray DVD. It seems to take a long time and then blue screens my computer. Any suggestions?

The OS and drivers on a new PC are always out-of-date because the system master will have been created well before its sale. So do some of the basics first:
Install all Windows updates
Install latest version of QuickTime (v7.6.6 at time of writing)
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites
Check for a firmware update for your Blu-Ray drive
Run Disk Cleanup
Run Defragmenter
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started
For your still photos check this article: What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?

Media center will play regular dvd but not blu ray

I have seen a few questions on this but non that assist my particular situation. When I place a regular DVD in the drive it reads the dvd and says Disc ready for playing, please press start to play..I press start and a regular DVD starts right up. If I place a Blu Ray into the drive it tells me, Disc is ready for playing please press start..I do and nothing happens. Any assistance would be greaty appreciated..it is a brand new pavilion dv7 with beats thanks

Hi,
Disable AVGs Resident shield and restart the notebook. Download the latests installer for HP MediaSmart DVD on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50935.exe
When the download has completed, right click the installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation - this should initially uninstall your current version before installing the new one. When this has finished, restart the notebook again and let Windows fully load before trying to play a Blu ray disc. If it now works ok, you will need to add the whole HP MediaSmart DVD folder ( in your Program Files list ) to the list of exclusions that AVG will not scan before re-enabling the Resident Shield.

DP-K

Encode Failed exporting to DVD but not Blu-Ray

I'm using Dynamic Link and tried both pushing from PPro and pulling from Encore, when building DVD I get Encode Failed, but when building Blu-Ray no problems. I really need a DVD version of this, any ideas?

Did you transcode before building? If not, try that.
If that does not work, export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD, and import the resulting m2v/wav files as timeline. In other words, skip the dynamic link since you are having a problem.
Yes, you will have to calculate the bitrate. If you are able to transcode the dynamic link, but not to build, you can look at the properties of the transcoded file, and match that on export from Premiere. Or use a bitrate calculator, such as:

Once and for all: Can DVD SP build Blu-Ray disc content or not?

Maybe I’m crazy, but…
Everything I’ve heard to date has Apple backing the Blu-Ray format. Believing this, I just spent $900 on a new Lacie D2 external Blu-Ray burner (which IS Mac compatible). I also purchased Toast 8 (which IS Blu-Ray compatible).
All I need to do now is build my disc content (assign H.264 1920x1080 content, build menus, etc.) then drop it all into Toast and burn Blu-Ray video discs… right?
So what is all this I’m reading here about DVD Studio Pro supporting the HD DVD format and not Blu-Ray???!!!!!!
Am I going to be able to do this using DVD SP or not, and if not, can anybody tell me a program I can use to build my Blue-Ray disc content? (All of my HD content is H.264 (1920x1080) rendered directly from Adobe After Effects).
My deadline for this project is fast approaching and I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on this. If I can build Blu-Ray discs and burn them on my Mac using Toast 8 and the Lacie D2, I’ll make my deadline and justify the $900 spent thus far.
Can anybody help?
Thanks, SM

Wait a minute,
Maybe I don’t need to buy PC to run DVDit Pro HD. I have a Mac Pro! With Boot camp I have a PC! Any reason I shouldn’t try running DVDit on my Mac via the Boot Camp beta? That way I'd also be using my Lacie D2 Bu-Ray drive. And with Roxio's 30 day return policy I haven’t much to loose...
I'm calling Roxio tech support. Let you know how it goes

A LITTLE LATER:
Just got back from digging into Roxio's discussion forum and here's what I found:
I have travelled down the same frustrating path my friend!
But I did succeed doing it all on my new mac Pro, finally...
Install BOOTCAMP (free beta). Install WINDOWS XP ($269 from AMAZON). Install ULEAD BD RECORDER, which comes with DVD MOVIEFACTORY 6 (free trial, $80 to buy).
BDAV worked well from SONY V1-U burning to MATSHITA BD-MLT SW-5582 and played perfectly in new SAMSUNG 1200 palyer on my 57" DLP.
TIP - install BOOTCAMP et al on its own HD, and use NTFS... This will come in handy when doing a BDAV from a file such as HDV1080 that is larger than 4GB.
To do BDMV, you'll need SONIC DVD-IT PRO HD ($499) which I have yet to try...
Frustrating process, but kinda cool to figure it all out, especially when NOBODY in sales at any of these places seems to have a clue.
So there you go - must be possible

If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

Burning HDV movie to Blu-ray Disc

Hi there, I filmed an HDV movie edited it on HDV mode on Apple Final cut pro, I want to make a Blu-ray disc i was wondering if export on HDV mode and let the encore CS4 do the converting, or i render it on compressor to H.264 format or maybe Mpeg2 ? can anyone help please ?
im using Mac Pro I have the encore CS4 and i have a Blu-ray Burner
it is my first time that i will make Blu-ray Disc so if you have any suggestions please let me know
Thank You

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, from FCP, you will not have Adobe Dynamic Link. Also, being a PC-guy, I cannot tell you how well Encore might handle some other Apple CODEC's - maybe well, or maybe not. Now, in this case, I think that I would use FCP to Transcode to a 100% BD-compliant H.264, Export and then Import to Encore as a Timeline. Depending on the Duration of your FCP Timeline, you might want to download a bit-rate calculator and work out the bit-rate for your Export.
Good luck, and hopefully some Encore Mac-users will step up and give you more background on how well Encore handles all Mac formats/CODEC's.

Burning more than one Blu-ray Disc in FCP7

I successfully burned one Blu-ray disc of my 2-hour HD project. It took 16 hours, 15 minutes to export the audio & video files and burn the disc.
Now -- I want to burn another disc. Project is still open. When I follow the same process as before (File - Share - Create Blu-ray Disc - Export), it looks like it'll take another 16 hours to burn the second disc!
Since the Blu-ray files have been created ... what do I do? Better yet: How can I close the project, open it back up on another day and burn the second (and third, and fourth) Blu-ray Disc of the same project faster (less than 16 hours)?

Can burn DVD but not CD

I don't have any problem burning DVD's using iDVD, but I can't burn a CD using iTunes. It goes through the whole process, checking media, initalizing, burning, etc. then iTunes plays that little doo doo doo sound saying it's done, but then I hear a sound from the burning devise, like an err err err. I can't eject the disc unless I force quit iTunes. When I look at the disc I can see a burned area, so I put it back in the Mac and it says the disc is blank, so I put it in my Pioneer stereo player to get a second opinion and it says the disc is blank too.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a software or a hardware problem.
Or is it possible the blank CDs I have are bad? (CD-R 74 min 650 mb) I've tried changing the settings in iTunes preferences but it still doesn't work and I've thrown away 7 CDs so far.
I have a PowerMac G5 with OSX 10.4.4, Sony DVD RW DW-Q28A burner and iTunes 6.0.2
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

It varies by the drive model, not by the OS. So there's no brand that works better with Mac OS X, per se, but rather your current brand may not work well in your iMac's drive where another brand might work better. I've had good luck with Maxell and bad luck with Memorex, but that might not be the case with the drive in your iMac. Try a disk or two of some other brand and see if that works better.
If another brand doesn't work better, try just a Finder burn to see if the problem is with burning through iTunes or burning in general. If the Finder burn also fails, then the iMac's drive might be dirty (try a lens cleaning disk) or defective.
Good luck.

Subtitles suddenly displaying by default on burned DVD but not in simulator

Hello, subtitles which normally did not display until they were selected 'on' from a menu choice in the DVD are suddenly automatically being displayed by default when played on a stand alone DVD player for a television.
The subtitles however do not show up by default in the DVD Studio Pro simulator nor when I play from a 'build' folder using the Mac DVD player. Also, burned DVD's do not display the subtitles by default on two of my Macintosh systems when played with DVD Player (Macbook Pro and Powerbook G4 both running Leopard) yet the subtitles do display by default on a stand alone DVD player.
I have 'force display' off on the subtitle track (applied to whole subtitle stream).
I created brand new builds and can't figure out why this is suddenly occurring. I opened up very old projects and rebuilt them and they exhibit the same problems.
Anyone with any ideas? I recently upgraded from 10.4.11 to Leopard - is it possible that that would have caused the problem. Thank you.

I have not changed any settings on my set top Panasonic DVD player. The set top box can display subtitles but typically only does so when I choose it from a menu. This just started happening 2 days ago.
The same is occurring on another person's stand alone DVD player so I am fairly certain something is going on with the DVD build. The only major change I did recently was upgrade to Leopard and install the Apple software updates. There doesn't seem to be a preference or setting to display all subtitles in DVD Studio Pro - I am at a loss why this is doing this even with older projects that have worked perfectly and not been modified (just rebuilt and burned).

Does the Mac pro DVD player play Blu-ray discs?

I suspect the answer is no, because the only DVD's that don't work in my player are blu-ray. But if someone can confirm this for me that would be great. If I need to download software to make my DVD player Blu-ray please direct me to the right site.
S. Walker

You can use a third-party BD drive to read and write data discs. However, there is no built-in software to play video BD's, even if you have a drive that can read them. I don't know whether there is now any third-party software that can play those discs; the last time I remember checking, there was not. It's technically (but not legally) possible to convert BD's to a format that can play natively on the Mac, but that subject can't be discussed within the terms of use of this site.
The copy protection on BD's won't allow them to be played at full resolution on an external display without end-to-end hardware copy protection (HDCP) in the graphics subsystem.

BD-203 available to burn DVD but not BDR

Greetings all...
I am working on a project that is going out in DVD and BD and have come across an slight problem. I am using Encore CS4 and I have a regular Pioneer DVD-R drive and the BD 203 drive which shows up as the default. (Win XP 4 GB RAM) When I go to burn a DVD-R Encore defaults to the BD drive and burns just great, but as soon as I switch to a BD project the burn panel says that there are no drives available. I have rebooted, come back a later day, barked at the moon and did the wiggly dance to help. I am able to burn to the drive with the software that came with the drive, so for the time being I am making an .iso and then burning it later, just wondering what is going on really...
It has worked in the past, and I don't know what could have changed it. Wondering if anyone has any ideas...

It has worked in the past, and I don't know what could have changed it. Wondering if anyone has any ideas...
Does this burner require a driver? Is it up to date? Things like simple OS updates can render many drivers obsolete. Is the burner's firmware up to date?
and did the wiggly dance to help
I've found that often doing the "wiggly dance" BEFORE the barking at the Moon, sometimes does the trick...
Going back to the serious part, if there is no driver, and the firmware IS up to date, I'd go into System>Hardware>Device Manager, and remove the BD burner, then reboot and let Windows find and install it again. This has cleared up some similar issues for others.
Good luck,
Hunt

MacPro will burn dvds but won't burn blu-rays anymore?

I've been using Compressor (ver. 3) to burn blu-rays and dvds of my movie for several months just fine. A few days ago after opening my blu-ray project in Compressor it did the usual: tray opens and it says "Please insert blu-ray media…" I put a blank disk in (the same kind I've been using all along) and pushed the keyboard eject button to close the tray but it didn't move. I manually pushed the tray closed and I could hear it spin up several times and then it spit the disk back out. I repeated this several times with no luck. I tried different blu-ray media (didn't work). I tried burning a dvd and it DID work, so I'm thinking it's not the blu-ray drive. However I tried burning with Disk Utility and it wouldn't work. I also tried to make a blu-ray burn folder and it wouldn't work. It doesn't make sense that it can burn dvds but not blu-rays.
I'm not sure what else to do. I haven't upgraded (still on Lion). Would upgrading to Mavericks fix this? Everything's been working great so I didn't want to upgrade and mess it all up. I fear taking it to an Apple Store will cost more than purchasing a new blu-ray burner.
Any thoughts or advice? Thank you for your help!

Upgrade to Yosemite.

Adobe Premier Elements 12 - Exporting trimmed AVCHD files from the project timeline, to a separate folder for burning to Blu Ray disc with other software?

Hi, can anyone help please. This is the first time I have used this forum.
I use Premier Elements 12, a PC, 64 Bit, Windows 7, high powered computer.
Just started trimming AVCHD in this software.
I would like to know if it is possible to export trimmed AVCHD files to a folder elsewhere (files which were originally imported into the project timeline), so that I can burn the trimmed AVCHD files (not in 'Project' form) to Blu Ray disc (using another software which I know that works to burn video files to Blu Ray disc).

Kathy
Thanks for the update. Your progress sounds very good.
Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 are similar. But, version 13 has significant feature removals and a new Elements Organizer.
So, when viewing or reading tutorials, try to determine the version of the program being used for the tutorials. As I typically write
principles tend to remain the same from version to version, but the features tend to move, change, or be discontinued from version
to version. And, it is frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature.

HP DVD PLAY AND BLU RAY PLAYER PROBLEMS

Hi guys, just had a few problems recently with my HP dvd and blu-ray software....
I have been using the software for about the last 2 years without problems, but recently i have tried using both DVD's and Blu-Ray discs, and they do not start playing either through autoplay (inserting the disc), or hitting the play button on the player.
I have tried updating from the menu, but whenever I try to do this my Internet says that "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". However, I do not have any other problems downloading different files and other updates.
If anyone has experienced this problem before or knows how to fix it, please help me out!

Temporarily turn off your internet software. Download and SAVE the update to your desktop, disconnect your computer from the internet, then turn off your antivirus. Do not plug in any USB flash drives as this may transfer viruses. Install the software, when you're done, turn on the antivirus, re-connect your computer to the internet.
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

Blu-ray discs don't seems to write a 'lead-out'. Help!

Hi,
I am using Premiere Pro CS4 with Encore CS4. Up until now I have always used DVD's and not blu-ray discs and have never had a problem. I now film in full HD and would like to be able to build blu-ray discs in Encore.
I import to Encore through dynamic link, and set my blu-ray project to PAL 1980x1080, 25fps - the same as my original footage and premiere sequence. The disc appears to burn ok, and you can see there is data on the disc. However, the disc is rejected by my sony blu-ray player, and both the blu-ray disc drives in my PC. It keeps telling me that the format is unsupported. I have tried lowering too 1440 and even 720 and it makes no difference at all. I made sure the region was correct too - region 2 (as i'm in the UK).
I have tried importing very short sequences so that I can watch the process, and I have noticed that unlike my DVD discs, the blu-ray doesn't seem to write a 'lead-out). It says it's complete but it's almost as if it doesn't finialise the disc for playback.
I am so confused, and at this stage rather frustrated! Has anyone got any pointers as to what may being going wrong here?
Thanks,
Cath
