Use a Blu Ray Folder instead of an .ISO file in Encore CS 5.1

Hi,
After struggling for the past 2 days to make a Blu-Ray .ISO file from Encore CS 5.1 and only getting "Code 25 Out of space messages", I made a Blu-Ray Folder and it worked perfectly. I then burned it using Roxio Toast 11 and it burned great. I tested it and everything works fine.
I will be making a Blu-Ray Folder from now on.
There is some kind of bug in Encore CS 5.1 that makes it almost impossible to make a Blu-Ray .ISO file.
I wish I had know that 2 days ago before I started trying to make an .ISO file.
Oh Well, You Learn something new everyday..
Thanks

Why is it taking 8+ Days to write a Blu-ray folder, only to fail at the end?

I'm trying to write a blu-ray dvd and author it through Encore. I've done this in the past with no issues at all, but in the case of this particular project, it's been a complete nightmare from hell.
It took 8 DAYS... that's right... DAYS to transcode a 7 minute, 1hr 4min, and 30min file to a Blu-ray folder. And at the end of it all, I get a message that there has been a failure with Encore and cannot write the folder. I try to make sure that there is enough space on the disc, and I give the disc an extra 1.2g of space to work with.
I have never had this issue in the past until now, and I don't understand if this is a software issue or a computer issue. I tried using my old 2007 MacBook Pro to transcode and write the folder before I tried wasting time on a disc (made that mistake the first time). I don't know what to do, and there is no one that can give me definative answers. I need help if I'm going to be productive. Please...

I had used a Dynamic Link between my files and Encore. I've done it in the past without any issues. Adobe tech support actually told me that the "/" was the issue when building the disc, since my file read... "highlights/highlights.prpro ... I changed the name and no help.
~What did Encore show for your assets once imported to Encore? "Do not transcode" or what?
All the files didn't show anything in the properties for transcoded... either for DVD or Blu-ray. I actually took the time to edit the settings of each file to maximize its target bitrate while maintaining enough space on the disc. I believe I also changed the settings to MPEG-2 settings rather than my go-to H.264 setting. I think that might be an issue too.
I DID notice too that when I finally decided to build the disc, there was odd threads showing in the status bar. Stuff I've never seen like " cpt.csf.9/render/..." when the build was taking place.
I'm eager to simple leave everything alone and let Encore do everything by default just to see if that works.

Playing blu-ray folder or ISO from Encore

I am trying to stop burning blu-ray disc and use the folder from Encore to be my final output. ALternatively, I may convert the folder into ISO for easy management. My questions:
1. what software player can play Encore generated blu-ray folder in PC? I tried some but none of them play the menu. Some can only play the first two chapters and totally missing the rest, though my project works fine in Encore preview.
2. what PC software to be used to convert the folder to ISO? Some media players declared that they can play DVD/BD ISO. Anybody can name a few that are good at BD?

We always build an image with Encore, then use Virtual CloneDrive to mount the image, and TotalMedia Theatre to play back the image. For Blu-ray replication, we build to a folder in Encore, then use Blustreak Tracer CMF to prepare the BDCMF files.
I highly recommend Total Media Theatre over the other software players, such as Power DVD, as it is designed to be spec compliance, meaning that what you see and interact with on the screen is exactly how it should on a hardware player. Often times Power DVD has problems with certain titles or it doesn't navigate the same way a hardware player does... making it difficult to troubleshoot problems. If you go to the doom9 forums and read some posts from spec level authoring experts, they just about all use Total Media Theater as their software Blu-ray/DVD player. And yes, it can play directly from a folder, menus and all.

Welcome to the forum.
Other programs can be used to do what you want, either from inside PrE, or in a stand-alone.
Now, I do not know what might/might not be available for Mac, and some searching might be required, but users have recommended Phantom Drive, and another utility, with a similar name, that eludes me this AM. Those utilities basically tell PrE that a folder on the HDD is really a BD burner, and then PrE just goes about burning to that, thinking that it is burning to a BD burner. I am sure that something like that exists for the Mac.
Good luck,
Hunt

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

What is the best way to burn to disk in Encore?? (without using the Blu-ray option)

I am trying to put together a video for my sister (who lives in the UK) of her wedding, that she can watch on her dvd/blu-ray player as a movie with scenes and menus. So, initally, I am using Encore to create menus/scenes and prior to this, used premiere pro to edit sequences and chop up/edit the video. I realise that while i am in premiere pro, I can queue it up and have the option to change the format of my files to AVI, MPEG, H.264 etc to maximise the best quality. I then take that file (or files) and bring them into encore and begin creating my scenes and menus.
Once i am happy with the final result, I then aim to burn this to a disc where i can then send it to her so that she and her newly wed hubby can invite their friends/family around to their place and remember that fabulous day together. Where i am getting stuck is when it comes to burning that file using encore as it only offers to build the project for DVD or Blu-ray. Since i dont have a blu-ray burner, it seems that my only option is to select DVD. Obviously DVD is SD and the resolution for this is 720*480. This doesnt work for me, because once i burn it to dvd, i lose almost half the quality of the original video. I have a few questions here that hopefuly someone can help me with:
1. Whats the point of encoding the timeline in premiere pro to a really high quality file such as H.264 if encore only offers DVD, Blu-ray or Flash? (I mean, why have this if you only have a dvd burner?)
2. Since i dont have a blu-ray burner, is there another way around taking my high res movie and putting it onto a DVD without loss of quality?
3. Is there any other possible way (or settings to use) before burning it to a dvd that i could tweak to avaoid loss of quality?
4. Should i perhaps be using some other way, rather than trying to create an ISO file in encore that will allow me to put this file on a dvd, which will still have a scenes and menu titles? (Meaning, so that it is just not an avi file sitting on a dvd, but rather it actually looks like a movie, with scenes, music in the background etc)?
Feel free to check out the orginial movie i cut up in post production at the link belwo. i did not shoot this vidoe so i am unsure as to what video camera was being used. All i was told, is that it was a fairly modern one (2012 i think). My sister merely sent me all the video and pictures and i just edited it in premiere pro, and now want to send it back to her in a format/way that she can watch it on her television with options to jump to scenes, just like when you watch a dvd movie at home.
Here is the link - https://vimeo.com/71008272
Thanks for your help guys.

No, you can't burn a DVD with HD resolution files and have DVD or similar style navigation.
The solution is to buy a bluray burner.
The workaround is to create an HD version of the files in Premiere, but for the future. In the meantime, export MPEG2-DVD from Premiere, and use those in Encore for this project. During the export from Premiere is where you downrez and lose quality. Your sister should play this back on a player that supports upscaling.

Has anyone been able to export to flash using a Blu-ray Project in CS3?

Has anyone been able to export to flash using a Blu-ray Project in CS3?
If so what files, settings and OS were you using?
Whenever I try to export to flash from a Blu-ray project the program always crashes.

HP ENVY 700-074 Desktop - what graphics card do I need to install to use a blu ray player?

I purchased an external blu ray player - "LG 14x external blu-ray/dvd writer super multi blue be14". For some reason I thought my system was compatible. However, it's not - apparently the Intel(R) 4600 won't work. What graphics card would I need to install to allow using this blu-ray device? What else do I need to know?

Ah, I should add, the Blu ray player's support site (for Cyberlink) suggested a pile of different drivers - 30 or 40, but didn't offer any specifics regarding my particular system. What I really need to know is what would be the best option for my particular system.

Burning blue ray folder

I use Pre7 and still cannot successfully do the workaround, burning a folder to blue ray disk. I use imgburn. Ive downloaded roxio creator no luck. Even tried iso file it still comes out as data. I even have Steves book. When I burn a small project to blueray from Pre7 it works fine but a large project it doesn't make it.

The Premiere Elements forum is where you need to post. This is for the early program, Premiere, before it became PrPro.
It is my understanding that PrE 7 will not Burn to Folder with a BD Project. Now, PrPro CS4.1 & Encore can, but that is not a viable workaround.
When you post to the PrE forum, or when the MOD's move this thread, you might want to state the full details of the "workaround," that you attempted.
Good luck,

Trying to use a Blue ray player on my iMac...

I own a sony blue ray player that i am trying to use as my dvd player on my 27 inch imac. I have a mini display port to hdmi cable that is supposed to work. It is plugged in but when i press the command+f2 button either nothing happens or i get a beep. What do i need to do to make this work?

Hey Scottfromnorthport,
Out of the box you can burn and read Blu ray Data discs.
I'm guessing this is not what you are after.
I'm guessing that you want to watch Blu-ray Movies.
OSX does not support this natively how ever there are 2 solutions.
VLC 2.0 has basic Blu-ray support it can be found here VideoLAN - News
Mac Blu-ray player found here http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Which ever route you go down. It's not quite as seemless as you would hope.
It still feels a bit clunky. and needs a fast processor although you should be good.

Audio goes out of sync when Blu-ray folder is exported from Encore CS6

I compile a project in Encore using H.264 and .wav files. The audio plays fine directly from the timeline. It also plays fine when I preview it from Encore. When I finally export it as a set of Blu-ray folders, the audio exports out of sync with the video. It is approximately 6-7 seconds ahead of the video. What am I doing incorrectly? When I mux the files into an .MKV, the video is in sync with the audio so I know the files themselves do not have different start times.
I am running with an HP Z820 with Windows 7, 64-bit OS and 16GB RAM.

For anyone who's interested, I found a solution to this problem. Once imported into Encore, the leader in on the video and audio files cannot be trimmed at all. (I had been trimming the beginning of the video and matching audio file to eliminate the 8 seconds of dead space at the start of the clips.) Although the trim took effect immediately in the Encore timeline and I could also watch it in preview in sync, exporting was another story. The audio track seems to retain the trim when exporting but the video track does not, hence the 6-7 second delay between audio and video.
I reimported the files to my project and left in the 8 seconds of dead space at the start and voila! The video and audio match up when exported.
Ideally the trim tool would just work as its supposed to through export and all, but at least I found a solution I can work with.
(As a note, the trim works just fine in export on Encore CS5. I only had this problem with Encore CS6.)

Is anyone here using a blu-ray drive on an iMac to play BDs?

To be able to play blu-rays I consider buying an external drive,
Windows (which version...?) and 'WinDVD® 9 Plus Blu-Ray':
(http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1189528458632#versionTabvie w=tab2&tabview=tab0)
Is anyone here who can confirm that this REALLY works on iMacs?
Thanks!

OS X cannot play BD movies due to licensing issues, regardless of the drive. However, if you install Windows on your Mac, that can play back BD movies provided you also install properly licensed player software (Windows has no native support for it either).
The issues relate to how OS X drivers work and meeting the complex requirements of the BD consortium on implementing a playback mechanism that implements all of the DRM limitations and controls required. Presumably Apple is working on it as they've mentioned the difficulty in licensing BD movie playback to the press on several occasions and the consortium themselves have made changes to the licensing procedures as a result.
Otherwise, BD drives and reading/writing work just fine on OS X.

Premier CS4 will export H.264 Blu Ray, but not a H.264 file.

When I export the file under H.264, Adobe Encoder won't even load the project file. However, it loads and completely exports my 25 minute 1080p HD 24 fps film under the H.264-Blu Ray option which takes about 17 hours on my Dinosaur PC.
So basically, I already have a 25 minute 4 gig film on a Blu-ray disc that I burned at my friends Modern computer, and now I just want a standalone MP4 file as a backup.
Anyone?
Bill Hunt?
Specs,
Windows XP service pack 3
2.8 Ghz
3.25 GB RAM
37G free HD
and 30G free on a 640G EXTERNAL

Despite the Interlaced UFF export setting, the H.264 option doesn't respect that and exports out a poorly deinterlaced progressive video instead.
If you need interlaced H.264, always use the H.264 Blu-ray option.

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

MXF OP1a Master file converted to Blu Ray in AME to .m4v showa up in Encore as Untranscoded

Just started creating Blu Ray DVDs from MXF OP1a AVC-I 100 Master files.
I use AME to convert to BR matching the settings of the master. It converts successfully creating video .m4v and PCM files.
When I import them into Encore 6.02, the Project window info displays the video file as " Remix. m4v Video file Untranscoded". And " Remix.wav WAV audio "Untranscoded"
Whats up with that? If they have been trancoded by AME why does Encore say they are Untranscoded?

The project panel shows both the DVD and the Bluray transcode status/settings. Make sure you are looking at the Bluray column.
What is the audio format for your disk settings? If set to dolby, Encore will show your pcm as untranscoded. Also, try changing the setting for the pcm asset to "do not transcode."
Are you using 5.1?
I use AME to convert to BR matching the settings of the master.
Are the settings of the master BD compliant?

Use a Blu Ray Folder instead of an .ISO file in Encore CS 5.1
