Trying to Burn a Blue Ray dics. Debating on Buying FCP package

I am new to Mac this year. I left the PC world because I thought Apple was supposed to be dominant on the video editing/authoring front. I learned how to Burn a blue ray disc about 1 year ago on a pc in about 1 day. Used My Sony Viao to import Sony HDR-HC3 footage. Edited with Vegas Movie Studio and Authored a yes......actual Blue Ray Disc with DVDit Pro HD. So simple; but slow. My laptop was one of the 1st to have a BR burner. So I bought a new desktop this year and switched to Apple. Why is this such a mystery to make a Blue Ray Disc with my new IMAC. And then I find that my FCE coverts my imported files to Apples AIC codec which are just huge files. This is so frustrating. I am not George Lucas or Steven Speilberg over here. I just want to burn my HD content to Blue Ray. I have waited a year for the technology to get better. Should I Go back to PC?? Should I put my HD Tapes away for another few years and see where technology is then? I am so frustrated. Any advice would be great. I will even pay the $1000 for FCPro. But from what I am reading out there I think I will end up regretting it. Everyone talks about burning your HD content back to DVD!!!! WHY!!!!!

First, the net doesn't have the infrastructure to support file sizes like that en mass.
10 years ago, the net didn't have the infrastructure to move significant video, now it streams it quite nicely. In 5 more years, it will stream most anything you want. Perhaps not in real time, but with a little buffering, it will easily work.
Let just put this rumor that we physical media will be obsolete in 10 years to bed right now.
Why? What real evidence can you put out there to support this premise other than giant media companies have a vested financial interest in maintaining the status quo. We know how well THAT has worked for <name your industry> where the world changed and they did nothing to stay ahead of it.
The Studios dictate what and how we will watch....period!
Yes, they do right now, and so did the record companies then. And now the record companies don't.
And whats wrong with Blu Ray? If you buy an HD set why not buy a BD player too. I waited too long for HD to come to the living room.
I'm still waiting for something worth watching to show up in my living room. Watching bad acting, indifferent lighting and skin problems writ large (which is the staple of most content) is not my idea of an enhanced viewing experience. A small screen (or YouTube) is a much better (more appropriate) venue for most of this stuff.
If I want a "cinema experience", I go to the cinema.
Enjoy your big screen.

Enocore CS5 error when trying to burn to blue ray disc

My project consists of 4 AVCHD clips imported separately into Encore as timelines and then I deleted the timelines to keep just these assets. I built a new timeline and added these three clips to this timeline. Three of the AVCHD clips are on the timeline with a total time of about 3:30. The fourth is a 30 second clip used for the motion menu background. The file size is 22.95 GB. There are 39 chapters in the project, the top page (page 0) has three buttons linking to chapters 1, 21, and 30 (the start of each of the clips). The other pages of the menu have 6 video buttons per page linked to chapters. All of the clips when highlighted will lead to the project setting "Do Not Transcode" (which is what I want) and I am buring this to a 25GB blu ray disc. When I checked the project everything seemed okay- no error messages. I then went to build the disc and after about 20 minutes I got the following error message:
"Blu-Ray Object: "<Menu>NTSC_FISH top menu",Error:"device error",Code: "2",
Note: "Too many primary video streams in clip (Spec Table 9-3,Annex B)"
The menu name is NTSC_FISH topmenu. Any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix this?

I went to the original motion menu source and saved it as Microsoft AVI (file name: Premiere pro avi for menu.avi) instead of AVCHD hoping that might help and then brought that file into Encore and linked that as the motion video for the top menu (the other menus don't have a motion background). I tried to animate the buttons for all the menu pages. When I click on the Premiere Pro avi for menu.avi asset the options show for DVD Transcode automatic and for Blu Ray Automatic (for transcoding). The file shows as 720X576 and it is 34 seconds long. The top menu is checked to animate buttons and I can uncheck it if I want, the submenus-start at page 1- have the animate buttons grayed out but checked and I can't uncheck these even if I wanted to. When I tried to burn this to disc, it got further along- burning 13.15 gb to disc and then I got the following error message:
Blu-ray error:File already exists",Code:"6", Note:Video buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 1321.253267 seconds-
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, 2.4 ghz processor Quad core, 6 gb of memory and 69.1 gb free on my external hard drive and 29.7 gb free on my c drive. I have an NVIDIA GE force 8500T card. Any ideas?

I am trying to burn a blu ray disc, it keeps saying File uploading error after 33%. Anyone know the answer?

No option to select Blu-Ray folder as source when trying to burn to Blu-ray disc

Hello,
I've created a project at home that I want to put on Blu-Ray. At home I don't have a Blu-Ray burner so I created a Blu-Ray Folder in Encore and brought over to a friends house to burn using Encore. But in Encore it doesn't have the option to select Blu-Ray Folder as a Source, only current project or disc image. I know when doing this with a DVD it gives the option for current project, disc image AND DVD folder. Why not for Blu-Ray? Anything I can do with out having to redo as a Blu-Ray disc image? Thank you

Can't speak for Blu-ray, but with DVD, it is very important that the disc be burned as "DVD Video". For instance in Windows, if you simply drag the VIDEO_TS folder to a blank disc and burn as "Data", it is not going to play in most DVD players.
A computer will usually recognize the content of the disc as being DVD material and will likely play it. But DVD players are expecting a disc formatted a certain way, which a data disc is NOT, and therefore will not play the "data" disc.
A lot of the newer DVD players will play more types of media, such as MP3 and stuff, so possibly more of them would now recognize a VIDEO_TS folder on a data disc, but to do it right, you must burn as a DVD Video.
Most disc burning software will offer options of "DATA" or "DVD VIDEO" because there IS a difference in track layout, and there is special info written to disc that identifies it as a "DVD" also.
In the case of creating a Disc Image, or .iso file, from Encore, then that is a "snapshot" of the DVD with all the right stuff in place, so any software that can use an .iso will make a proper DVD. But again, you cannot just burn the .iso file straight to a disc as data, the software must be capable of creating a disc from an Image.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks

CS6 Error Message When Burning a Blu Ray Project to DVD

Hi,
I'm trying to burn a Blu Ray project to DVD and I'm getting this message when I try to build the project:
The project is an excerpt from a larger one and contains only 2 video files and no menus. However it's particularly worrying because the project from which this is an excerpt is large and complex. I have created it as a Blu Ray project but my final deliverable is DVD. I really don't want to have to rebuild as a DVD project because it took half a day to link up all of the menus and chapters.
Is there something I need to do in my encode settings?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply John.
It's extremely frustrating that this is the case. I'd have started with a DVD project in the first place had I not read this: http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/building-finished-project.html , specifically the following excerpt:
"You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format."
Reading that gave me the confidence to go ahead and build as a Blu Ray. I now have to find another half day to rebuild the project as a DVD.
Thanks again for the information.

Burning to Blu-ray

I am getting the following error in Encore CS6 when trying to burn to blu-ray:
First play not set
and
Title Remote not set.
Where can I find these?
Thanks,
Joe

First play is usually a menu but can also be a bit of footage you want to play before the menu appears.
Basically ist what you see first when playing a BD or DVD.
Double click on the words Title Remote not set.
This will bring you to the disk set up
Set the Title Button. i usually set it to Default
Title Remote lets the viewer use the Title button on the remote control.

FCStudio 7 - Burning to Blu Ray problems

I edit with FCS 7 and trying to burn to Blu Ray, however i keep getting a message 'internal file error, Qmaster file not found'?? Should be simple as 'file' then 'share' but not happening!! Its recognising the blu ray burner but wont let me 'share'. Any one know what the settings have to be????

I remember one thing , if you use Share with a QuickCluster you will receive a message like Video file from QMaster cant be found.
This is a bug from day one with Final Cut Studio 3, so if you need fast compression for Blu-Ray and dont have Matrox Compress HD you must export a Self Contain QuickTime file and bring-it in Compressor with a Blu-Ray Template and Job Action to burn a Blu-Ray.
Be carefull about Matrox Compress HD since for now this card remove the Chapters Markers with the actual drivers but it is a real time option best used with Toast 10 to bring back Chapters Markers even if it is at specific fix intervals.

Trouble burning to Blu-Ray with PE 7.0

I have tried for the last few months to burn a 2 hour video to Blu-Ray. I ahve burned shorter videos to a rewritable blu-ray disc with success but this video is just barely over the max (24/sec) quality. Even when I shorten it to the hgih quality length it still freezes up and crashes. I have made each chapter a saved file, so there are only 40 files and two items on the menu (move & slideshow). I have tried all the trouble shooting and even called adobe support. After a couple of hours they suggested I increase my virtual memory to 8000/10000 I have a quad-core processor and 4 gigs of RAM running XP pro. I just want to burn to blu-ray and DVD and cannot. Is their a trick that I don't know or is this product just worthless when it comes to burning. I tried changing the names of my files from m2t to mpeg and that didn't work either. I am soooo frustrated...
I'm willing to try just about anything. Has their been any more luck with the new 8.0 version--it sure came out quick since 7.0

My original format is AVCHD. Since I had so many cuts/edits/transitions I saved wach chapter as a high def file (I think H.264 1920x1080i) It saved it as a xxx.m2t file. I then used those 40 files in one 2 hours movie. That is where I am having trouble. I have pretty much doen every trouble-shooting thing that they list and the closest thing I get to is a 16 hour-encoding process that fails at 98%. I have even sucessfully saved the entire 2 hour movie as one huge file, but I still can't get it to burn. Like I said I have been able to burn shorter movies successfully, but there is something wrong or different with this one. I have tried several different things to change it (probably 20-30 times) and it either crashes while encoding the 2nd of 6 menus or it "unexpectedly quit" I am so frustrated with this. I had great success with version 2.0 & 4.0 The only thing I haven't tried is burning my 7.0 project in 4.0 (I uninstalled it after 7.0) I think 4.0 burns to blu-ray but it won't edit avchd like 7.0 I am currently successfully burning (Fingers crosses) in 8.0 trial version and will be really upset with adobe if they simply fixed their product and I have to shell out another $100 because they didn't get it right when they first released it. Has anyone else had this many problems buring long projects. Like I said I reduced the size of the project down to full qulity (24.00/sec) and that still doesn't work. I'll try anything.

Framerate problem after burning PAL Blu-ray

Hi folks, bit of a rookie here. Usually try to work my way around things but this is a new area for me and I'm a little stumped!
Basically I'm using Encore CS5 to burn a Blu-ray from footage rendered from Final Cut. The footage is from a Sony HDV camera that records 1440x1080 50i. After the transcoding and burning was succesful I found that while looking good the footage was playing at 50fps on both a PS3 and a Panasonic player. I've tried leaving the transcoding settings on automatic and setting them manually to 1440x1080i 25 High Quality MPEG-2, both times the framerate was running at 50fps. So am I missing something obvious here to get the Blu-ray to playback at 25fps? Thanks in advance for any contributions!

50i is still 25 fps
but if you want proper 25p you should upscale your material to 1920x1080 25p, and be shure the setting is no fields (progressive scan)
Good luck

Anyone burning to Blu-ray?

Trying to figure out if I can actually burn a Blu-ray DVD with FCP 7?
Have you done it?
Had One on One session and Apple person had no idea.
I know you can export Blu-ray files out of FCP?
What type of burner to use? and proper DVDs?

To follow up...
You actually have a choice between burning AVCHD disks (which puts HD content on DVD or DVD DL at bitrates up to 17 Mbps) or Blu-ray (which requires an blu-ray burner and blu-ray media but allows much higher bitrates - up to 40 Mbps or more).
Depending on your use, AVCHD may be more than enough for you.

Crash while burning to blue ray

While burning a blue ray disc it's getting all the way through the media encodeing but then crashes and does not finish burning the disc. For the heck of it I put the disc in my blue ray player and it will not recocnize the disc.
Also when I burn a standard DVD it will get to 96% complete and then I get an error that says that the target device is not compatible, but when I put the disc in a DVD player is plays just fine. Is there a problem here or should I just live with it?

For the moment here's some more information that may help. I had a real computer guru work on this computer, it's better then it was but I really feel that it just is not up to the task for video editing.
Hewlett-Packard Company
model; a6330f
processor; AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz
memory (RAM); 3.00 GB
system type 32-bit Operation System
And a great big sticker on the side from Hewlett Packard that says "The perfect computer to edit you pictures, video and music". Yeah right... From the start I could not get this computer to edit any video (it came with Microsoft Movie Maker), it would lock up every one or two clicks of the mouse. That's why bought the Adobe Premiere Elements 8 program, but it locked up too. At least now that my friend worked on it I can do some editing before it locks up, and now I can burn a standard DVD (it wouldn't do that before either, the verdict? HP installed pile of junk for a DVD drive so I updated it to Blue ray since I had to replace it). Now it will barely burn a DVD (see what I said about it above) and I don't have a prayer of getting a blue ray disk to burn. I tried it again today, it encodes all of the menues just fine and most of the media too. Right at the end the program just crashes and askes me to send in a crash report. Very frustrateing.
I really think that the biggest problem is that this computer just does not have enough processor, but I'm not very good with computers so I really don't know.
I need to read your article...

When burning to blu-ray gets 99% done then error "device not ready"

I have Elements 11 and an ASUS Combo burner. I can burn to DVDs but when I try to burn to blu-ray it gets done encoding and compiling then at 99% switchs message to "device not ready". The computer sees the drive and the disc is formatted. Any thoughts on why Elements stops right when at end before actually burning to the disc?

I don't know the answer but I suspect Blu-Ray disks are not supported in PSE. I haven't tried it personally but I will have to try it one of these days when my computer is repaired to my satisfaction. I was without a machine for nearly two weeks and now I am using a borrowed one from a friend.

Can not burn a Blu-ray disc

The problem: Can not burn a Blu-ray disc.
I open Premiere Elements 12 and load my project and then go to “publish and share” my project, I select "create Disc – Burn DVD, Blu-ray and AVCHD disc", I select "Blu-ray", the disc location and settings box opens and the “status” setting indicates "Media not present”. I know the Pioneer Blu-ray BDR-2208 drive works properly because I have already published regular DVDs in it and had no problems. I thought perhaps it was a problem with the initializing of the disc whether you choose (Mastered) as opposed to (Live File System). Neither works. I tired Phillips BD-R disc & Memorex BD-RE disc, neither works. The only thing I noticed was the burner location setting is indicating a Pioneer BDR-208M burner rather than a Pioneer BDR-2208 burner. Could this be the problem? Remember that burner will burn regular DVD's. Does Premiere Elements 12 require some other additional software on my computer to burn a Blu-ray disc? Also is there a list of compatible Blu-ray burners? BTW I am using Windows 8.1.

Attached is a screenshot of the dialog box that opens up when I place a regular DVD or Blu-ray in my desktop computer.
In order for me to burn a DVD project in premiere elements if I do not initialize the disc with the above procedure I receive a media not present in the settings box of premiere elements. I assumed I have to do the same thing with a Blu-ray too. I've tried following this procedure, also tried using the live file system. Also tried putting a fresh disc in without doing anything to it and always receive the media not present in the status setting. One suggestion has been that another program is interfering with premiere elements. I will also go out and purchase some Verbatim BD-RE disc, whether they work right now or not I can always use them later after I solve my problem.
I Have a lot of great suggestions from you guys and I really appreciate it. I'm going to work on some of those today starting with loading imgburn and see if I can indeed burn a Blu-ray disc with my system. I have already created a AVCHD BDMV file on my computer and I will start with trying to work with that and see if that is successful and then come back to premiere elements. I appreciate the input regarding Cyberlink software. I have version 8 (came with my Pioneer Blu-ray Drive) and was thinking about upgrading to the latest version but with your input regarding Power Producer I will save my money.
Another thought I had, with Blu-ray disc burners being as cheap as they are purchase one that has been proven to work with premiere elements 12.1. Time is money, the cost of a new Blu-ray burner is insignificant. I will consider this option later.

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?

ENCORE CS6 gives error message during the burning of Blu-ray Disc

I did it again - upgraded my Production Premium CS5 to CS6.
I will not forget CS4 that never came to work. It was not a workable version, but at best an Alfa or maybe Beta version.
I was therefore naturally afraid to upgrade my reasonably well functioning CS5 version, but did it anyway.
My fears kept unfortunately connectors. Audition CS6 scratchy and crunches a lot when I change Audio Device from MME to ASIO. It should be noted, that none of my other programs have this problem neither my Soundbooth nor Audition 5.5 which I fortunately still have installed. So it is only Audition CS6 that crunches with ASIO4ALL.
Encore CS6 is also a problem child. When I try to burn a Blu-ray Disc I get, in the final phase, following error message: Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M2S file"
Fortunately, I can open the project file in my Encore CS5, which do not have the same problem. Encore CS6 cannot be used as a standalone application - I still need to have a previous version installed to complete my projects. It is not fair.
Unfortunately I can see that many others have the same problem. Even worse, however, that Adobe still has not come with an update or fair solution of the problem - after so long.
It annoys me infinitely, I every time have to spend so much time on the Internet in an attempt to find solutions to remedy Adobe problems. These are programs I have paid dearly for - exactly twice as much as others living in the U.S. pay - just because I live in Europe.
If there is a user who has some useful suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
I must complain about my bad English.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jim,
ISO files also works for me, but that's not what I paid for.
So far I use just the previous version CS5, but hope at some point to get CS6 to work.
