Problems Creating a Blu-ray Disc with a Main (Static) Menu and Pop-up Menus

I'm having problems creating a simple Blu-ray disc containing a Main Menu (Static Menu with a graphic for my background) and a single Pop-up menu assigned to all of my timelines.  I wouldn't think this would be so hard to create but every attempt I've made ends up with the navigation getting all messed up to the point that my Playstation 3 doesn't even recognize that the disc as being Blu-rey disc.
I want a simply static Main menu containing a "Play all" Button, and a button for each additional timelines.  Im also using the override commands on my buttons so if someone just chooses to see one specific clip from the main menu, they will be taken back to the main Menu after their selected clip plays.  But then I also want a Pop-up menu assigned to the timelines so the viewer can switch to a different clip (timeline) without having to go back to the Main (static) menu.
My Blu-ray Disc runs just fine if I only use a static menu in a project, or if I only use a single Pop-up menu assigned to each timeline, but not both a Static Main menu, and pop-up menus.  I'm using CS4
Thanks.

it's just copying files to it, not video.  If you put a blank blu-ray disk in the drive, it may show up in the finder.  A program like Toast can burn a blu-ray.

  • How to create a blu-ray disc with multiple source files

    Hello,
    How is it possible to create a blu-ray disc, AVCHD recordable DVD with multiple source files from Final Cut Pro 10. Is it possible to create a menu with several chapters corresponding to the sequences (source files)?
    Thank you in advance for your support.

    Assume you're talking about using the Create Blu-Ray batch template. It's not possible to do with multiple source filles. But if I understand your objectives, you could pretty much get what you think want – discrete movie segments on a single disk with navigation.
    The way I'd approach it is by making multiple projects in FCP and then copying the finished versions into a new project, separated by gaps. (You could also use compound clips but I'm not a fan except for very short sequences, which is why I'm suggesting the copy route.) Then export and bring into Compressor.
    In Compressor mark your chapters at the gaps between your individual sequences. Then choose the AVCHD option in job actions.
    Bear in mind that you'll have to keep the recording time under roughly 30-35 minutes @a5 Mbts/sec
    Good luck.

  • How to burn blu ray disc with H264 files and ac3 files?

    Hello,
    I have tried many times to burn a bluray disc with FCP and compressor and they always end up not successful. After spending days on testing different settings, I finally managed to only get it to work if I tried
    1) outputting to Hard drive as opposed to burn to bluray
    2) Turning the default bit rate down from 35Mbits to between 15-19Mbits.
    Then I used either disk utility or toast to burn the disc image onto the Bluray disc.
    I have however on a recent job forgotten to switch the setting on compressor to output to harddisk and instead set it to burn to Blu-ray. Big mistake. Again I end up with a h264 file and an ac3 file, and nothing I can do with them after 24 hours of rendering. Oddly, the compressor says "successful" but nothing is created but that 2 files.
    My question is (before I restart the whole 24hr rendering process again) - is there anyone who can help me use the .264 file and the ac3 file and create the blu-ray disc with the menus again without having to re-render all over again? I have not been able to find anyone to provide me with a solution or find any where online that helps with that.
    Desperately ...

    Hello,
    Sorry but the instructions in the manual (online and offline) do not answer my question. Yes I do have a bluray burner, it is a matsushita BD-MLT SW-5584. I wrote in my post that when I set it to output to HardDrive, it will create a dmg file nicely for me to burn using disk utility or toast.
    But when set it to burn to Bluray disc, nothing gets done. I just want to find out, with the h264 file and the ac3 file that gets created in the process of creating the dmg file, can I still burn the disc or create a dmg file from them without having to re-render the whole thing again.
    Maybe you never tried burning a Blu-ray disc with FCP or compressor before. Let me explain how it works. When you submit the project to process, it will create 2 files - 1 ac3 audio file and a .264 file. After that 2 files are rendered (which takes 24hrs for my 2hr 30min HD clip), it will use that 2 files to create your Bluray disc or your dmg file. Problem occurs when it doesn't burn the disc and you are left with just the 2 files that cannot be used to burn the project again. My question is : is there anyone who knows how to set the compressor to see that the 2 files are already created and just continue to create a dmg file?
    Hope my question is clearer now.

  • Has a stop marker any function when burning blu-ray discs with Premiere Elements 12?

    Stop marker when burning blu-ray discs with Pre 12. Does it works?

    Amiral
    No.
    This applies to Premiere Elements any version.
    Stop markers placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc are not recognized at playback of that disc using the Blu-ray player.
    If you need Blu-ray disc with stop markers, you can export your Premiere Elements Timeline content to an appropriate file type that will be compatible with a 3rd party software which will get the job done. I have heard that a software such as DVD Architect can do that, but I have not been there and done that.
    Stop markers function at playback of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc only. And, never place a stop marker at the end of the last item on that Timeline.

  • Workflow asked: 70min hd project (PAL 1080i50)to blue ray disc with toast 11

    i tried to render a final cut Pro HD project (PAL 1080i50) into a blue ray disc with toast 11.
    At the end camera pans juddered in a fast rhythm
    My steps are:
    build a HD timeline in FCP
    export timeline to a quicktime movie
    load the quicktime movie in Toast 11
    toast dit convert the qtm-file again
    and burned the blue ray with the result described above.
    Thanks for answers

    Please examine my workflow. Perhaps you quickly find out any error:
    footage: PAL 1080i50 field order : lower field
    70 minutes sequence: the same options
    exported timeline into a Quicktime Movie - same option
    loaded the resulting QTM into Toast 11
    Tost started to rerender during 2 hours and burned blue ray disc
    at last
    medium: verbatim double layer blue-ray disc
    Player: tested on two Philips blue ray players
    Result
    on tv-screen (hd flat screen philips) camera pans judder in a regular rhythm, perhaps twice in a second: the actor seems making little jumps when he walks silently from the right to the left or vice versa.
    earlyer we tried to burn a blue ray disc directly from FCP 7.0.3 by using the option "send to blue ray"
    The result was the same.

  • 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.

  • How do I create Blu Ray Disc with DVD Studio Pro ?

    Folks, I think that I'm in trouble... I created 3 HD projects with DSP (i do not have the tapes and fcp project anymore, neither the HDV 1080i mov file) and I need to be burned it with a Blu-Ray Media, and play it with a BR Player... So far I made the following steps:
    1-) In FCP, I exported some Quicktime Movies with HDV 1080i60 codec (movie with chapters, menu bg movie, extras).
    2-) In Compressor, I used the preset HD MPEG-2 19,0 MBPS for videos, and Dolby digital professional 2.0 for audios.
    3-) In DSP I created a HD DVD Project (DISC window, GENERAL tab, DVD STANDARD = HD DVD; DISC WINDOW, DISC/VOLUME tab, DISC MEDIA = BLUE LASER, LAYER OPTION = OTP) with movies, extras, menus...
    4-) In ADVANCE BURN (under FILE MENU) I chose BUILD.
    5-) Now I got a HVDVD_TS folder, with my movie compilation...
    NOW, my doubt is... The folder HVDVD_TS can be burned on a BR Media and be played on a BR Player ?
    If not, what can I do with my HVDVD_TS folders to be compatible with Blu Ray ?
    thanks a lot for any help.
    Best Regards
    Marcelo

    That can't be done. Get the tapes back and start over. Get the new Toast in the tutorial I posted to make a Blu ray disc.
    You could try this tool to demux the streams, transcode to QT then re-encode for Blu Ray but I wouldn't go that direction unless you know what your doing. You would also be encoding twice which is not good.
    Get the original source back and go the toast route from the start.

  • 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.
    Some Comprehensive Free Resources for version 12.....

  • How do I burn a Blu-Ray disc with menus?

    I have a 38 minute project comprised mostly of HD clips (.m2ts, .MP4 and a few .MPG). I try to render the project to Blu-Ray with Premiere Elements 12, it takes approximately an hour to reach 98% with message "Encoding Media", then switches to "Compiling Media" and freezes there (I let it go for 6 hours with no end in sight). Task Manager shows that it is not using any CPU cycles anymore, while it was using up to 96% of the CPU before it reached that point. I've been able to render this project to a DVD, to Folders on my HDD and to AVCHD successfully on a DVD.
    For a test, I tried a 1 minute project with the same results. It wasn't until I removed the disc menu that I was able to burn a Blu-Ray disc. I am running project on a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, an AMD Athlon II x4 635 Processor, 2900 Mhz, 4 cores, 4 logical processors with 4 GB of RAM. I have found a number of references to the 98% completion but no real solutions. Any assistance would be appreciated as I would like to produce a high definition disc with menus...

    ATR and jerry9146, thanks for the replies. I am using version 12 of Premiere and, when I attempt to update, it tells me that I have the latest version. I am fairly new to Premiere although I have used other video software before. My motherboard supports up to 16 GB (4 slots) so I could try increasing the memory which would probably speed up the rendering process. I'm not so sure that not having enough memory would prevent it from completing the rendering process but who knows. Task Manager shows CPU usage in the high 90% and shows physical memory in the mid 50% during the rendering process...
    My software always finds the media and lets me know if I have the wrong disc in (I had inadvertently inserted a DVD instead). I have tried both H.264 1440x1080i NTSC Dolby and H.264 1920x1080i NTSC Dolby. It does not have a choice for 1080p full HD.
    I always cancel out of the Windows popup asking "How do you want to use this disc?" as I assume that Premiere will let the system know. Is that correct?
    The movie menu that I chose for this project is a fairly simple one, Faux Widescreen from the General category. It contains 1 main menu and 3 scene menu pages containing a total of 17 scene markers which I inserted myself with Add Marker.
    I had already taken out the Stop marker as I had read that it doesn't work for Blu-Ray anyways (and thought that that might have been the culprit). Spacing is good and there is no button overlap.
    jerry9146, I have successfully burned an AVCHD file to a DVD thru Premiere and the quality is pretty good. Does the workaround that you suggest produce a Blu-Ray quality file?

  • Which blu-ray disc with Toast Titanium ?????

    Does anyone know how I can burn a blu-ray DVD on my Mac computor ?? I have downloaded Toast Titanium with the blu-ray plug-in but when i insert the disc to burn (a blue ray verbatim recordable disc) it ejects and says "please put in a recordable disc"... Any ideas??? Please help ASAP !!!!

    Make sure your drive supports Blu-ray (BD) burning (not just reading, but Writing).  BDROM is a READ ONLY device.  You could try burning the video to DVD as Blue-ray video though.  No need for BD if you don't need the size.  You could let Toast split it up for you over several DVD's.  I've done it.  Just make sure you have a player than can play blue-ray.
    If it won't burn, check to see you've selected BD and not DVD at the bottom of the window; you could check the specs of your burner by clicking the copy button and selecting the information page of your burner.  Look for "Write Support" and check to see that the format matches the disc you put in.
    Blu-ray DVD... ...There is such a thing and I've described it above.  Mooblie, Get your head out of your bum and do a little research.  Try not to misinform.  Blu-ray DVD is a finished product, not a physical media type; in that you are correct.  But don't sell burners on this site.  Try offering a solution they can use right away.
    You can burn BLU_RAY (highdefinition) video to standard and DL DVD's.  TOAST will split it up for you over several if needed.  I've done it, and they work great, just don't expect miracles with the menus (they might end up showing at the start of every disc).  If you have multiple videos, like me with my vacation clips, you could just have them all show up in their own chapter, and TOAST will split the video between the Files.  High-Definition across multiple discs, but a great way to get out one copy and have it ready to show off.  About 30min per DVD and just over an hour per DL DVD.

  • Clips hang up and repeat on Blu-ray disc with multiple clips

    I have developed a DVD for background videos at my office.
    It has 44 clips on it.
    Only a few will play.
    I have tried it on 4 different BluRay DVD players = same result.
    I have burned the project 5 times = same result.
    Why does it stick?
    Using the fastforward button on the remote controll shows all clips are there.
    Sometimes it will play 8 or 10 clips before sticking.
    Then it repeats the same 2 clips forever.
    Please help me.
    Rob

    Rob,
    Could not find the screen-caps. If they are JPEG or PNG, just use the little "camera" icon in the editing page to "attach" them, or post a URL for others to view them from a server. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on screen-caps.
    Thank you for the info, and the description of what you wish to have happen.
    Now, what are the End Actions for each Timeline? If I understand what you want, the End Action for each Timeline should be to the next, and for the final Timeline, back to the beginning of Timeline 1. That will create the "looping."
    Check carefully for any Overrides, and make sure that each is set to "Not Set."
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • 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:

  • Creating Blu-Ray DVD with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Encore

    Hi all,
    I am one of many with troubles creating a blu-ray DVD using Mac software. Sounds like the best way to do this is to do all of the editing in Final cut and create the DVD in Adobe Encore. Is there a way to export to Adobe Encore or should I just create a .mov file and import that to Encore. That way I think I lose the HD quality. I read that I could compress to Blu-ray format in Compressor, but I can only find HD DVD which is different. When I select create a Blu-Ray disc, Compressor won't simply create the file on my computer...it wants the disc to create.
    Maybe I am a little to new at this to fully understand, but why in the heck doesn't Apple get with the times and create a DVD authoring program that makes Blu-Ray?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I have just completed my first blu-ray disc using FCP7 and Adobe encore. My workflow, once the timeline was complete, was to go to File>share>choose blu-ray as destination >export. The default encoding is H.264 along with an ac3 file for audio. It took 3 hours and 35 minutes to encode the 1hr 26 minute file.
    Opening encore, confirming you settings for HD, and choosing file>import>as asset each of the files (separately, of course). Encore imports them, then under Timeline>create new, then drag the files to the timeline. CLick on the build button and you are there. I did not mention that my original render was Prores422, but that should not matter here. No trouble with burning the Verbatim 25Gb disc.
    Encore will recognize that these files do not need re-encoding and burn the disc. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to burn a 1 hour and 26 minute (17+ Gb) movie on an i7 iMac with an OWC 12x BD burner.
    Hope that helps
