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.

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.

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.
as in the 5th picture on this tutorial

Chapter Highlighting is offset when burned to Blu-ray

I have a project in Encore CS3 that I switch between DVD and Blu-ray for the exacxt same content, menus etc.
These menus have video clips as place holders/buttons and are designed in Photoshop CS3, that have a simple mask for the video and an outline as the highlight. The menu has a 16:9 aspect ratio. All looks as expected when I preview the menu in Encore CS3 for either project settings (DVD or BD).
When I burn it to DVD the menus and highlights of these menus are fine. However, when I burn it to Blu-ray the highlight of the menus are vertically offset (not horizontally) higher than the designed position. That is to say that the video clips (menu buttons) show in the correct place but when I mouse over the buttons, the highlight shows quite a ways above their expected position.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there something I need to do or can do to fix this?

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.

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:

When i try to burn a blu ray it says failed

when i try to burn a blu ray disc it says failed i have burned a few before without any trouble

OK. So create a new user account – or trash your preferences – and see whether that resolves the problem. If you trash the prefs, you may want to use Digital Rebellion's Prefence Manager.
And just to confirm, Share options other than disk burning work OK?

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.

Can Disk Utility burn a Blu-ray ISO file?

This is a simple question to pose: assuming only the best of media and burner hardware (so that problems with those don't come into play), can Disk Utility reliably burn ISO images that represent a Blu-ray disk, complete with chapters and whatever else is contained on a Blu-ray disk?
Background
I'll be using Adobe Premiere to generate videos for burning to Blu-ray disk. There seems to be several ways for me to do that, and most of them seem to have problems:
1. From the completed Premiere project, I can jump into Adobe Encore and burn from there. But… many comments on the Adobe forum suggest that route may be problematic. No burn-speed control for instance. The Encore forum is full of people who don't use Encore's burning abilities, but instead use Toast or the PC equivalent.
2. Use Toast. I've just received a special offer form Other World Computing to buy Toast 11 Pro for $49. But… I've been put off buying Toast because of many poor reviews on Amazon. A handful of poor reviews I could ignore, but there are dozens.
3. Use Encore to generate an ISO image of my completed Blu-ray, then use Disk Utility to burn that ISO. But… there are websites in the internet jungle telling me I need to download their product to be able to burn Blu-ray ISO images on a Mac. On the other hand, there are reputable websites (here and here) that explain how to use Disk Utility to burn Blu-ray ISOs.
Basically, I'm confused. It seems to me that Encore > ISO > Disk Utility is the way to go, but I would like confirmation from Apple users that this route will work and is reliable. If not, maybe I should be buying Toast before the special runs out on 30 April.

First, I duplicated one of the links in my original post. The correct links are (1) and (2).
Thanks for the replies, but they haven't cleared up my confusion.
On the last page of the first link, lifted from the California Institute of the Arts website, clear instructions are given for using Disk Utility to burn a Blu-ray ISO.
Right at the bottom of the second link, lifted from the Drexel University website, similar instructions are given for using Disk Utility to burn a Blu-ray ISO.
Are both instructions incorrect in their basic assumption? When their students go to video lab to burn a Blu-ray, do the students find it can't be done?
This is really confusing. Toast gets very poor reviews, yet I've never had a problem with Toast 9. Two tertiary education sites tell me how to burn a Blu-ray with Disk Utility, but I've just received two responses which tell me it can't be done. I'm intrigued.

Issues burning compatible Blu-rays

I had some complaints that some of the Blu-rays which I recently produced in 1080i were not working on some Blu-ray players. In researching the issue I learned that many Blu-ray players require an AACS Folder in order to function. However, the Blu-rays produced by Premiere Elements 13 do not have that folder. Of course, firmware upgrades may fix the problem on the players, but one can't expect their customers to do that in many cases. Nor should they. Then I learn that one can burn an ISO to get the folder onto the disk. Of course when I try it, I find that it doesn't work on files bigger than 1.3 gigs. This is a huge problem and I have a job to get out. Is there a solution? This was a low budget job, done to line up some large jobs in May and June. This is the fourth generation of Premiere Elements and there is no reason there should compatibility issues of this sort. Please restore my faith in Adobe, I am in the process of likely converting to Lightroom an upgrading to full Photoshop from Elements, however at the moment I am very disappointed because I feel this issue is intentional.

Thanks for the reply.
Do not copy the CERTIFICATE Folder from the Premiere Elements burn to Blu-ray disc, only its BDMV Folder in the plan described above.
ImgBurn should generate the CERTIFICATE Folder....to be sure....
Tools Menu
Settings
Build Tab
Page 2
and look for the Blu-ray options and have a check mark next to them
....Create BDMV Folders
....Create CERTIFICATE Folder
My computer Blu-ray player plays
a. Premiere Elements burn to Blu-ray disc after burn to in Premiere Elements
b. The Premiere Elements BDMV + CERTIFICATE Folders with or without the AACC Folder
The following may be of interest
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 13: Blu-ray ISO Image and AACS Folder
The AACC Folder may not be the answer. If not, is there anyway you can compile
player data for those reporting problems regarding playback of these discs?
We will be watching for further developments as your schedule permits.

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...

Burning a blue ray disk

I imported a movie from my Camcorder Canon HV 10, edited it in a MacAir, stored it in an external hard drive. Is there a way to burn a blue ray DVD such as using a Dell computer with blue ray drive and "import" the Apple edited movie?
Many thanks!!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
As you're writing about Blu-Ray, my guess is that you shot your video in hi-def HDV.
When you import HDV into iMovie, it's converted into Apple's Intermediate Codec so that it can be edited (..the compressed HDV format isn't editable unless it's converted, as there are "compressed" frames in HDV - like in AVCHD - which don't really exist until they're -e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d- back into real video frames).
When you've finished editing, the movie can be saved in a variety of different formats; e.g: .mov (QuickTime), H.264 (another 'compressed' format which plays well on various devices, and is the format which Blu-Ray discs use), standard-def DV, and various others.
So you'd need to check what the Blu-Ray burning software ..on your Dell.. needs in order to burn a BD disc ..does it require the video in H.264, or does it convert whatever you give it to H.264..? You'd have to read the specs of the burning program ..'Toast', or whatever you're using.
Note that if you've stored it on an Apple formatted external disc (..formatted as Mac OS Extended, rather than in a PC's FAT32 format..) then the Dell probably can't read that material off the external disc, and you'd have to copy it across to the Dell itself. And if the external disc was formatted for a PC, in FAT32 format, then it's possible that in storing the video on that external disc (..you don't say whether the iMovie project was on that disc, or if just the 'Exported' final edit of the movie to that disc..) some aspect of it may have become lost, as iMovie prefers Mac-formatted hard discs, so that "metadata" belonging to various files can be stored along with the actual video data.
So check and see if the Dell can access that disc, and your movie, OK, and then check to see what format of video your BD-burning program on the Dell requires.
Incidentally, I wonder how you got your video from the HV10 into your MacBook Air, as there's no FireWire connection on an MBA, and the Canon would need a FireWire connection to get the video - whether on miniDV tape or HDV tape - from the camcorder to the Mac..
..So how did you do it? ..Or was it first imported into a different Mac, and then simply copied to the MBA..?

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.

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.

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.
