Stop markers for Blu-ray discs in PRE 10

This is a very old story: Stop markers work only in the preview mode, but not from a burned blu ray disc. Still in 10, shame on Adobe!

Thank you again for the follow up which is important to us all.
Contrary to your report, I have found no evidence that stop markers in a Premiere Elements 10 AVCHD DVD are recognized  at its computer playback of the ACVHD DVD. As I have said, I do not have a TV Blu-ray player, PS3, or the like, and I have not looked into non computer playback for the Premiere Elements 10 AVCHD DVD. So, what is the key difference between your YES to stop markers working in your Premiere Elements 10 AVCHD DVD playback and my NO to stop markers working in my Premiere Elements 10 AVCHD DVD playback. The question sent me back to Premiere Elements 10 to explore the situation further based on points that you made in your last post.
No stop markers in a Premiere Elements 10 AVCHD DVD were recognized during its computer play back with PowerDVD 9 (part of the software that came bundled with the Blu-ray burner). So, the version of computer player is one difference between us, you with PowerDVD 11 and me with PowerDVD9. I have found no settings in PowerDVD 9 that would impact the recognition of stop markers in the Premiere Elements 10 AVCHD DVD at its play back. And, PowerDVD 9 does recognize stop markers in Premiere Elements 10 DVD-VIDEO on DVD. Therefore, I am tentatively concluding that there is no difference affecting this situation when PowerDVD 9 vs PowerDVD 11. If you see a special PowerDVD 11 setting related to this matter, please let us know.
More direct observations:
DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
a. NTSC vs PAL settings for project preset/Share/Disc/AVCHD/Preset
b. DVD-R (4.7 min/120 min, 16X) vs DVD-RW (4.7 min/120 min, 4X)
c. Blu-ray burner (Windows 7 64 bit) vs 2 different DVD burners (Windows XP 32 bit)
d. Windows 7 64 bit vs Windows XP 32 bit
e. Premiere Elements 10 (64 bit application, in Windows 7 64 bit) vs Premiere Elements 10 (32 bit application, when in other than Windows 7 64 bit)
It would be very helpful for others to contribute their observations on this matter.

  • H264 file conversion for use in DVDit on PC for Blu-Ray Disc Burn

    We're trying to create our first Blu-Ray HD disc project and have met with some success. The problem is the frame update rate on the Blu-Ray during playback. It's not real time. Here's the workflow that we created since FCP doesn't support Blu-Ray yet. We're taking the original animation source footage created in AVI with the following specs: progressive, 1280x720. 59.94, 158 mb/s and importing into FCP. Then, after editing we export an H264 out of Compressor with these specs: progressive, 1280x720. 59.94, 16 mb/s. We then take that H264 file to DVDit on the PC and author the Blu-Ray disc. The resolution of the video is fantastic but the frame rate lags at certain areas. This is unacceptable to the client so we're trying to fix the problem. Any Ideas or better workflow? Thanks.

    Hi Video Dude
    here's a good article I posted on the DVDSP forum as well. It tells a bunch about workflow and the problems the author faced. I hope you know that this is kind of a new technology - so much so that I would frankly say it's in the beta stanges at this point even though you can buy players and authoring software - problems might come up that you have no control at this point. Just so you & your client relize this. Check for plyer updates as well.
    Good Luck

  • Files or Folders needed for blu-ray disc missing !

    Hi,
    I have Encore CS6. It successfully builds 'blu-ray folder' & 'blu-ray image' without any error. But when I try to create an iso image of the prepared folder using 'Ashampoo Burning Studio' it gives an error message saying that the folder doesn't contain all the files and folders needed for blu-ray. But when tried to do the same for DVD, there is no error. My blu-ray burning drive is broken and I want to check my finished project from my hard drive using Daemon's Tool and VLC or PowerDirector.
    Could anybody advise how this can be fixed on Encore CS6. Encore CS5 never had this problem.
    Thanks

    Tried that as well. The player gave an unrecognized format error.

  • 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.

    Add On...I have found that the situation is the same for stop markers and AVCHD on DVD and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.

  • Best Way to Play Blu-ray disc/Blu-ray ISO on Windows 8

    Nowadays, almost any computer can play DVD movies as long as there is a DVD drive provided, whatever it's a PC or Mac, homemade DVD or commercial DVD. But what about Blu-ray movies? Could your Windows 8 PC play this high definition movie formats without fuss? How to play Blu-ray on PC with Windows 8 system? This article will tell you the best way for playing/watch Blu-ray discs or Blu-ray ISO Files on Windows 8.
    In order to watch Blu-ray discs or BD ISO on Windows 8, you must have three things: 1) a Blu-ray disc drive, 2) a Blu-ray movie, and 3) Blu-ray Player Software(Need decrypting Blu-ray function). It is this third one – software – that causes the majority of problems for Blu-ray users. The free player like Windows Media Player, VLC Player, etc don't have Blu-ray decrypting function and not support playing Blu-ray movies. So this Blu-ray Player for Windows 8 from UFUSoft will be the best solution for you.
    Follow the following steps to Play Blu-ray discs or Blu-ray ISO movie and media file on Windows 8:
    Step 1: Connect the Blu-ray driver to your Windows 8 PC via a USB connection. The USB of the driver should be above 2.0.
    Step 2: Free Download the Windows 8 Blu-ray Disc/Blu-ray ISO Player and then install it.
    Step 3: Insert your Blu-ray disc into the Blu-ray driver. Next, open your Blu-ray movie by just pressing the “Open Disc” in the main interface to select Blu-ray drive and then click "OK" button to load the Blu-ray directly. You can now enjoy your Blu-ray movies on Windows 8 PC.

    Tips:
    1. When you want to play the Blu-ray ISO image file, you need to load Blu-ray ISO image file to the virtual drive firstly, the open method is the same with loading Blu-ray disc.
    2. While the video is playing, click the "Snapshot" button to take a picture from a video. Click Open Snapshot Folder to find the captured picture. You can choose the snapshot format and the snapshot folder in the Preference window. And also you can choose the image format like JPEG, PNG, BMP.
    3. When playing Blu-ray disc, you are allowed to choose the specific title/chapter in the "Controls > Title/Chapter" column to play.
    Hope this way could help you have no problem to enjoy Blu-ray disc and Blu-ray ISO files on Windows 8, more info please enter: Play Blu-ray disc/Blu-ray ISO on Windows 8 PC.

    I am sorry to say that you cannot play Blu-ray movies on any Mac. Whether any of us agree or disagree with this, it is the way of things currently. One can rip Blu-ray movies to a Mac, and play them without menus or extras, but this is illegal and it is a violation of the terms of use of these forums to discuss.

  • Blue Ray discs supported?

    On my MacPro I have an OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A burner. Can I burn Blue Ray discs with it? Or there must be a particular burner for Blue Ray discs?
    Tnx

    You can install a 3rd party blue ray drive in your mac but there is limited software for burning and you cannot play back blue ray movies under OSX. You can use windows under bootcamp to use some windows software for playback. There is a nice article on this issue on Macfixit:

  • 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
    Sark
    Message was edited by: sarkmachine
    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

  • 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.

  • 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?'

  • Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously

    Hi
    Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously
    This happens with an entire series of chapters but does not happen with another series of chapters on thre same DVD.
    I am missing something to solve this issue.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Jeff,
    I just checked:
    There is no override on the montage

  • Blu-Ray disc freezes for half a second between chapters

    I'm brand new to using Adobe for video editing.  I just finished my first Encore CS6 project, it's been quite a learning experience.  I have a 40 minute video with 18 chapters that I edited in Premiere Pro and exported for Blu-Ray as a single sequence.  Encore still insisted on transcoding it, it was irritating to have to wait but it worked. I created a simple blu-ray menu with a chapter index with 10 items per page created from a chapter playlist.  The first play is the first page of the menu, and each chapter plays sequentially.  There are no end actions on any of the chapters, they are intended to play sequentially starting from any chapter selected in the menu.  Encore said I have an oprhan timeline, but I don't see how, since it's my only time line and each chapter points to it.
    I built a Blu-Ray disc and it works great except for a half a second freeze in audio and video as it plays through each chapter point.  I built a DVD from the same project and it does not have this issue but its video is jerky during movement such as a scene where I'm panning the camera to follow an actor.
    The export settings from permiere were:
    1920x1080, 29.97 fps, upper
    VBR, 2 pass, Target 25.00 Mbps, Max 30.00 Mbps
    PCM, 48 kHz, Stereo
    I found several threads that seemed to be similar to these issues going all the way back to Encore CS4, but I haven't found any solutions.
    So to sumarize:
    I have four issues in order of importance:
    1. Blu-Ray freezing briefly as it plays through chapter points
    2. DVD has jerky video in higher motion scenes
    3. Transcoding what should already be Blu-Ray ready video
    4. Orphaned timeline that doesn't seem to affect anything
    Any suggestions?

    I wanted to test a possible issue with the freezes, but never got to it. Sorry you did not get any responses.
    The bluray should not freeze as you go through chapter points on a timeline. The fact that the timeline is an orphan is curious. You might post a screenshot of your flowchart.
    What version of Premeire are you using to create the exported files?

  • Downsides to multiplexing audio for H.264 Blu-ray disc?

    I have a 9 minute video; personal/consumer use; 1280x720; 59.94; source video from a Contour+ helmet camera that stores .mov, H.264; audio is on a separate track from my own selection of mp3 files (it is a music video).   I have three intended playback targets: Blu-ray disc, Sony PS3 native, and PC/Windows Media Player.   Is there a big downside on video or audio quality in this case using multiplexing to produce a single .m2t file imported into Encore to produce the BD vs. separate .m4v/.wav files?   Not a huge deal, but having to maintain one production files vs. three is a minor plus if it makes little to no difference on the BD front.
    Depending on the answer, If I use the H.264 Blu-ray format/preset in PP to produce the .m2t file does Encore have to re-encode?   I am assuming Encore does not reencode if I am using separate .m4v/.wav files.
    Thanks

    You must always remember gents, when you multiplex, there is a BUFFER attached to that (computer term that means a chunk of size and bit defined fast memory space that holds an intermediate piece of data for shuttling to the next piece of hardware).  This changes the MAX Bitrate allowed for your video (but it doesn't show in AME cs6 and I don't think it shows in lower versions; not sure about cc).  Since you are tying one stream to another, and effectively weaving the data into one stream, you are maxing out the amount of data you can pass in that stream.  Only certain types of data can be read in this manner.  Think of it this way, you have taken two sets of data with different bit widths, and different bit-sample rates, and tied them together into one stream.  This stream still has to fit in the max data rates of the medium.  Your video cannot exceed 30mb\s and you are also left with another problem.  Audio, without mux, has so many different formats and bit fiddling profiles that it would be difficult to make sure it was within the sizing for data.  If, however, you limit it to one major codec, and use predefined bit\sample rates that can be sized up, you'll be able to tell if all the settings are "legal" or not, as you then have a predefined data-size for both audio and video.  If you don't multiplex, you get 2 streams.  It takes longer to load the disc, but both streams are cached.  Typically, with more motion, I like to non-plex, but with more emphasis on audio, I start leaning toward a TS file.  IF you want forward compatibility, select an intermediate codec, with little to no compression, save to a disc image, then burn a disc and file it away.  Every 10-15 years, hire an intern to turn their hair white recoding all your video and following the same procedure (unpaid internship time), but make them happy by hiring them as "Labor" on a short job or two and pay them well for standing around or stroking the egos of the "Talent".  What can I say, we all work more diligently and creatively when we feel more connected with it, whether we're brooding and trying to communicate the angst of a lost generation, or felling powerful enough to choreograph leaping tall buildings in a single bound.  Misery loves company, and powerful loves to be reminded it is by everybody whether it is or isn't.
    If you need better clarification...
    Lets go back to dvd for a moment.  DVD structure is Video TS and Audio TS.  TS is Transport Stream.  A stream is a BUFFERED movement of data that is transferred quickly in set sized chunks.  In DVD there were two transport streams to play back early on.  Later, many started muxing those streams and encrypting them, so that upon Decrypting they could be played.  Muxing made the encryption easier, as only one stream needed to be encrypted and it was all in the Video TS.  Audio TS folders are still written, but there is little data there.  In fact, removing this folder when no data is actually present has shown in some cases to do no damage, while in others, it will not play.  This is because, it is used as a shell to copy.  It initiates the audio stream playback on older players, and on newer players it isn't necessary.
    Blu-ray yields similar limitations.  You need to match the size of the buffer you are feeding.  Most players max out around 35mps from the old sets, and newer players actually pull more like 50mps.  If you don't know your target, you'll be out of luck.  I've seen blu-rays that don't play on older players being sold at video stores, at Frys, everywhere.  I've played them on an old one and found them to be unplayable.  Newer formats do not work with older players, but, they note it on the package that you need to meet certain specs, and those specs can usually be found on a sticker on your device so you can see if they match.  Remember your Target BitRate and Max Bitrate.  The Target should be less than the max for the device you aim for.  CS6 won't usually allow anything over 32.7mps, anyway, so setting this in AME even with dynamic linking could cause problems.  However, you do have the choice to locate a transcode... ...presents an interesting possibility.  I've been trying to get a project done or I'd try this myself:
    I'd use the x264 free codec, with some basic options and blu-ray-compatible flag, with --fake-interlaced, to create a transcode and link it into encore.  However, encore hasn't liked any of my transcodes that use multiple passes.  I'm going to try with a single pass later, and produce an intermediate output for now.

  • Chapter markers won't work when Blu-ray Disc burned

    I just burned a Blu-ray Disc directly in FCP7 (using Sharing). My 5 chapter markers are nowhere to be found when I play the disc back in my player.
    What happened? I don't want the chapter markers as subtitles -- simply want them to work as chapter markers.
    I'm sure I've burned Blu-ray before and the chapter markers exported just fine. Don't know what's wrong, this time.

    Larry, in Compressor, open the preview window and be sure the markers are there before encoding. If not, create a chapter list in DVDSP format and import it. I'm not sure why they don't show sometime, but I believe that if they appear in the Compressor preview window, they will be there on the final disc.
    You can export a marker list from FCP and manipulate the text file (I use TextEdit's replace function) to turn it into this format:
    00:23:24:15 Chapter one
    00:35:12:19 Chapter two etc.
    This can be imported in the Compressor preview window.

  • Best format to export to Encore for a Blu-Ray disc ?

    To All
    My question is I shoot with a Canon Vixia HFR21. I am putting together a family vacation we all just had at Disney World. My computer is capable of handling everything very well.I had it built 2 years ago by ADK.I need to know once I have everything set on timeline and all is ready to export, what exact setting in Media Encoder would be best considering I will be bringing it then into Encore to burn on Blu ray disc.
    I have Adobe cs6 Premiere and Encore.
    Also after I make the Blu ray I will put exact same time line on regular dvd..from what I read for that I think I should export to mpeg-2 ..I'm not sure .
    Also for both blue ray and dvd, which is better ipcm or dolby digital audio ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Ray Perry

    Hi Ray,
    From Premiere, export via AME and choose the "H.264 Blu-ray" format, and then for preset, get what best matches your footage, for instance maybe 1080i 29.97
    You will need to choose a bitrate in line with the length of the program so that you don't exceed the disc capacity. Just search the web for "bitrate calculator" and plug in your details. No need to be in the 30-40 range, something like 25 using H.264 will look fantastic. I believe at "20" you can fit well over 2 hours on a Blu-ray disc. Dolby audio is the default.
    For DVD, again Export via AME but choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and proper preset like "NTSC Widescreen", and set bit rate. Don't exceed 7 or 8 on that, and you can use 560/minutes=rate as a rule of thumb and round down slightly. For instance 560/120=4.66 so I encode at 4.5, again using default Dolby Audio.
    I'm not keen on sharing the same Encore project for the Blu-ray and DVD, but that's up to you. Note that you can add DVD chapter marks in your Premiere timeline and when you export, those go with. In Encore, use "Import As > Timeline" and grab the audio and video clip at the same time and the chapter marks come along for the ride!
    Thanks

  • How do you get Chapter Markers to work when burning a Blu-ray Disc in FCP7?

    I created my first-ever Blu-ray disc yesterday, using FCP7. My edited video was 95 minutes long -- it took 10 hours to encode and burn the disc, using an external Blu-ray burner.
    The Blu-ray disc looks and sounds great -- but my 21 chapter markers are nowhere to be found. When I play back the disc in my standalone Blu-ray player, clicking "next" on the remote simply advances the video in 30-second increments (instead of taking me to the chapter markers I'd carefully created in FCP -- because this was a music concert performance, the markers are important and I need them to work.)
    Somebody please help ...

    Hi Larry,
    just to clarify in the 'edit markers' dialogue box you have clicked 'Add Chapter Marker' button and this has added the text '<CHAPTER>' to the 'comment' box.
