Problem burning Blu ray on mac

I recently bought an external blu ray burner LG from what i gather it works with mac as it shows up when switched on also added a caldigit usb 3.0 pci for mac it shows up and says it is 3.0 the burner uses 3.0 tried to burn last night went through everyting as normal using toast but when it came time to burn got an error saying not a stable connection has anyone ever had this or any similer problems? My mac is an early 2009 Mac Pro with 6 gigs of ram running OS 10.9.1 i am at a loss as to what the problem is any advice would be helpfull thanks.

I had tried that before and worked the same everytime i tried to burn i get an error about not stable connection that is why i picked up the usb 3.0 i am guessing that it could be a firmware update for it could be the problem or maybe it could be not in the right pci port going to give booth a try later and see if any of these work.

Final Cut 7 - problems burning blu ray

Hi
Got my final cut studio upgarde today. Looks quite nice. Having trouble to Share to a blu ray disk. Redering takes quite some time and during create disk the progress goes up to 60% and stops.
I use an LG Bluray burner with a SATA to ATA adaptor. No problems under MAC OS X or Toast.
Any ideas or similar observations?
Regards
Rainer

My bad, it seems I did screw up the machine. I had some recent changes (ie: larger Harddisk, Studio upgrade and more) and besides the Bluray problem I did run into some other issues fe: not being able to shut down, start up problems etc. So I followed the instruction for the reset and voila the issue is resolved, FCP now even renders faster. Sorry I have to say that I am just a MAC user since one year and perhaps with a bit more experience I should have been able to resolve this much quicker.
But since the problem became visible juts after the upgrade I was sure it must have been coming form the software. I "shared" the HDV clip to blue ray, and after the much faster rendering the burning went fine.
Regards
Rainer

Success burning Blu-ray on Mac Pro

Invested in new Sony BWU-300s burner. Installed in lower bay. Used Toast 9 with Blu-ray plug in. Dragged and dropped small 600+ Mb Quick Time HD movie I shot and edited on Mac Pro. Burned to re writable Blu-ray disk. Played back on new Sony BDP-S550. This worked perfectly the first time.

This is the story I published elsewhere of the sequence of events on October 31st.
New Sony Blu-ray burner arrived yesterday evening. After purchasing a BD-RE blank disk I proceeded to remove the hard drives in the Early 2008 MacPro. Included in the BWU-300S was all necessary adapter cabling and screws. Mechanically, the tray front plate to the burner needed to be removed. After easily removing the Optical drive support assembly cage I proceeded to locate an available SATA connector on the mother board. Once the SATA cable was routed and connected the power adapter cable was atached. The drive was bolted to the cage and the cage reinserted into the MacPro.
Next I attempted to play a Blu-ray movie. The disk did mount on the desktop but would not play. Now for the finale. I inserted a blank new rerecordable TDK disk from Frys. I chose a 600+Mb HD video file that was edited in Final Cut and dragged and dropped onto Toast 9 in the video mode. The Blu-ray option was highlighted. I clicked the record button and it began recording. This was a 3 minute + HDV shot Quicktime file. After recording I placed the disk in my new Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player. It spun up and played. The result was a 20+ Mb per second beautiful playback of my Swiss Rail video. It met and exceeded my expectations. Aside from the inability for now to play commercial Blu-ray disks (I only tried one disk) I am completely satisfied with the burner and Toast 9 with the Blu-ray add on software. I feel very fortunate for this to work as well as it did. Perhaps the wisest thing is to purchase one re recordable disk in case of problems.
Hope this helps fill in some blanks.

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???

Encore CS4 (version 4.0.0.258) will not finish burning to blu-ray disc when using a menu template. DVD burning works fine. Anyone know the problem with blu-ray? HELP!

I want to burn blu ray discs from FVPX, compatible mac burner.

I want to burn blu ray discs from FCPX projects. I note I should be able to but any thought on a mac compatible burner. Why is so difficult to find one??

I would recommend navigating to www.macsales.com, because they specialize in Macs they can point you to devices that should work with your computer. Please make sure you also have software for burning Bluray discs, i'd recommend Titanium Toast.

What do i need to burn blu-rays?

Hello everyone. I'm new to Final Cut Pro, and Macs in general, so please bare with me. I'm a film student, and recently purchased a Canon XH-A1s and a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro 6 to jump start my video production business.
My only problem is that i only have the ability to produce HD video, so when it comes to distribution, DVD is really not an option. I've heard with an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7 that you can finally burn Blu-Rays without a third party application, just wondering if that was true.
I was planning on upgrading to Final Cut Pro 7, and purchasing an external, USB Blu-Ray read/write drive. Should everything work ok if i go down that route?
Thanks everyone,
-Billy

The Mac does not come with a Blu-ray burner. So you would be burning a Blu-ray compatible file to a standard DVD-5 or DVD-9. Neither of which are ideal for authoring Blu-ray content.
Do an exhaustive search online about Blu-ray authoring and disk creation. This is not something for the hobbyist video creator (and I say hobbyist in the sense that you're not creating thousands of copies for mass distribution, so no one take offense.)
Blu-ray is expensive and requires a lot of planning and prep to do it right. But you can't burn an official Blu-ray disc on a Mac as they stand. And, Compressor doesn't burn discs, it only creates files. DVD Studio Pro would be the app that would burn the Blu-ray disc, and DVDSP has not been upgraded since long before Blu-ray came on the scene.

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

Final Cut Pro 7: problem creating Blu Ray disc

Hello, I've a problem using FInal Cut Pro 7. I want to create a Blu Ray disc using the "Share" function, but during the process - after many hours - appears this warning message: "SHARE WARNING - NSEXPETION RAISED BY 'NSPORT TIMEOUT EXCEPTION' REASON = CONNECTION TIMEOUT: DID NOT RECEIVE REPLY". Someone can help me? What does it mean? Thanks! P.S. Duration of my film (in the timeline): 35 minutes.

Yes. It will only burn Blu-Ray if it is the Pro version though.
Compressor will also burn the Blu-Ray if you set it up to do so:

Play Blu-Ray on Mac Mini?

Has anyone tried playing Blu-Ray DVDs on a Mini?
I have a 2GHz C2D Mini with 1GB RAM and a 1TB FW external drive which feeds HDMI to my LCD TV and surround sound to my audio system.
A Blu-Ray player is around $400 but for only $200 more we can get an external FW Blu-Ray drive and be able to burn Blu-Ray DVDs as well! Or for $900 a replacement slot-loading Blu-Ray SuperDrive!
Has anyone played hi-def movies through a Mac Mini? How well does it work?

Thanks.
I want to minimize the number of components in my entertainment system and use the Mini for as much as possible. I have 100+ MP4 movies on a 1TB external drive and the Mini is connected with DVI-to-HDMI adapter to 52" Sony LCD, with audio to surround-sound setup. So I believe I do have HDCP-compliant monitor.
But how do you get hi-def movies into the Mini? At present I enjoy HD content through DirecTV, but iTunes provides HD content only to AppleTV.
Ideas?

Burning Blu-ray disks. Third party hardware needed?

I have read from earlier posts that it is not possible to burn Blu-ray© disks from DVDSP. Can third party hardware be purchased to burn such a disk having assembled the digital assets in DVDSP? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
G5 Quad Desktop Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for your responses. I see that from DVD SP Late-Breaking news that'HD DVD projects authored by DVD SP 4.0.3 fully comply with the 1.0 version of he HD DVD specification...the new HD DVD standard. The disks will play on Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later.
I haven't commited to the Blu-ray© player, just the Sony HD camcorder.
When the time comes, I will burn to a red laser disc per the Apple recommendation. And thanks for the Roxio link which makes it clear that a PC is needed for Blu-ray©

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).

"media not present" error when burning blu ray in PE12

I have two systems, both ground-up builds, identical Win 7 Home Premium and Premiere Elements 12 installs. Both systems have internal blu-ray burners. One burner is an ASUS BW-12B1AT and the other is a Pioneer burner (don't recall the model number).
System 1: Intel 4770k with Gigabyte MB
System 2: AMD 8-core with Gigabyte MB
System 1 gives "Media not present" error in PE12 when attempting to burn to blu ray discs using Verbatim discs. System is able to burn DVDs and CDs, and playback blu ray discs. System is also capable of burning blu rays using Nero.
System 2 works fine - blu ray media is recognized instantly by PE12 when in the drive and burns blu rays perfectly.
I swapped the blu ray drives and SATA cables from System 1 and System 2 with the same result - this eliminated the drive manufacturer and cables from being the problem, as both drives worked perfectly in System 2 and neither worked in System 1. I also tried different SATA ports and power supply taps on System 1 without any success.
Then, I noticed that on System 1, with the dialog box open and indicating the "media not present" error, if I ejected the blu ray disc and reinserted it, the burner LED would flash 18 times (approx. 1/sec) and then pulse briefly indicating a burst of activity for about 1 second, as if it was either reading the disc or writing to the SATA. If I pressed the "rescan" button during this brief burst of LED activity, then the disc was recognized and I could proceed to burn it. If I tried to press the rescan button at any time before this instant or after, the "media not present" error did not clear.
To me, this is an indication that something in the handshake timing of the SW and the burner is not correct, and that timing differences in the system HW are not provided for in the SW. I see that many others have had this issue and have had to buy work-around image burners to address this. I believe your burner drivers need to be reworked to eliminate this bug. This is evidenced by the fact that Nero works and your SW does not, and that different systems consistently exhibit this problem.
Please let me know when you will have a SW patch to address this or if you have any idea of system settings that can be adjusted (I don't know of any myself) that would eliminate this problem.

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to contact Adobe, your likely route is via Adobe Chat.
If you have a feature request or bug report, then consider filing a Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Forum with Adobe
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
The likelihood of an Adobe engineer seeing your thread here is essentially slim to none.
Your results are very interesting but lots more variables to consider.
Do you have any version of Premiere Elements other than 12? It would be interesting to learn if a prior version's burn
dialog would present with the Media Not Preset issue for your burn to Blu-ray System 1. That is easy enough done with a tryout of
11 or 10 or 9 from the following web site. ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus
On the other side of the coin, you could give the new version a look in this regard. A new version is expected at the
end of September 2014.
As an aside, have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, I would encourage
you to do so. It does correct an Expert workspace text styles issue plus other matters undefined by Adobe.

Burning blu-ray discs

Here at the office we're running all macs with Final Cut Studio 2. We want to be able to encode for blu-ray and also burn blu-ray discs. I know we need an external burner, but does our current software support blu-ray?

Or Netblender's DoStudio for rather less money. PC based but we successfully run it on a Mac in Bootcamp. Just completed our first full featured Blu Ray and sent for replication.
If you know DVD-SP well then learning curve not too bad and they have very good support and forum.
If you just need to 'dump' hi def material to Blu Ray then FCP and/or Toast may prove to be enough for your needs

Trying to burn Blu-ray on Power PC G5

Does anyone make a Blu-ray video authoring software program that does not require an Intel processor? I'm trying to use Roxio's Toast 10 with BD/HD Plug-in but is is not working.
I have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) with 10 GB of Ram and Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6.0.4)
My Blu-ray burner is a LaCie d2 Firewire drive.

My Toast 10 now works in burning Blu-ray video. I've learned from other posts that there was a problem when I updated to QuickTime 7.7 in that certain video file types were no longer recognized. Unfortunately you just can't install an earlier version over the newer version the traditional way.
I've learned however that there is a way to install an earlier version of QuickTime (in my case QT 7.6.4 without completely re-loading the Operating System software (Leopard for me).
There's a Shareware program called Pacifist which takes elements from the earlier QuickTime installer and replaces the newer versions problem files. The QuickTime version # still says your current version but the elements have changed. See this link for how to do this:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
After rebooting, the QuickTime Player (and more importantly Final Cut Pro) supported all the video files. Toast 10 still had a problem until I trashed the Toast plist and pref files in the User>Library>Preferences folder and then re-installed Toast 10.0.9. Now everything works!
I still want to buy a better Blu-ray authoring program because the menus in Toast are so basic.
