Where's my 5.1 sound? (Blu-ray disk built in Encore)

Hi there!
Basically, I need to do a very very simple thing... but it's not working. I'm sure you can help. ;-)
In Encore, I have a simple menu with 2 buttons:
button1 --> audio 1 (2.0)
button2 --> audio 2 (5.1)
...and that's almost it.
The thing is, once "built", my Blu-ray disk has 2.0 on audio 1 and on audio 2 also...
What's the trick?
Thx ;-)

This is a screen shot of your 5.1 ac3 being played back on a Panasonic BD player via my dolby decoder after being burned to a Bluray disc so it seems your file is fine.
To make my disc I made a 1920x1080 25i H264 bluray file of colour bars the same length as your audio and then made a PAL Bluray project in Encore with just the bars and your ac3. This was burnt to disc using ImgBurn.
How are you adding the video to Encore? Are you using a H264 of the correct size or are you letting Encore do the video transcoding? If Encore is doing the conversion perhaps it is also transcoding the audio so as to make the best use of the disc capacity.

How to burn Blu-ray disk from Encore?

My project was shot and edited in HD. The camera was a Sony AX2000 1920 X 1080 60i the highest resolution for the camera. The project has been exported to Encore (CS5.5 Production Premium)and is on the timeline there. How do I get in touch with "Chat" to get phone help to go from where I am to burning a Blu-ray disk? When I try to email Adobe Help I am routed round and round back to same place and I can never find anyplace to send an email to Adobe to ask a support question. When I click on "Help" from Premiere Pro or Encore the explanations use frequent links to videos elsewhere for explanations and none of the links are functional! Why is that? I can't find an explanation online or in Adobe's Classroom in a book or anywhere. I would appreciate some links to videos explaining the process or some basic instructions. Thank you.

Encore also has a very active forum too: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

Device error when burning Blu Ray disk at 96%

Very simple program to use so far. Just drag and drop.
My current project was shot in HD 1080p about 2 hours or 13 gig long and I made 4 lower resolution DVD's no problem. I like how it shrunk it with out me having to do anything other than check the box (use space available)
However when I went to make Blu Rays in addition to taking about 18 hours its gets right to the end and spits the disk out unfinished and has device error at about 96% of burning finished. Disk will not play.
I have ruined 3 blank 4x blu ray disks so far, same result. I have down loaded and installed the 8.01 update, I will turn off the screen saver and anything else I can find, before I try it again.
Its a new computer with only PE8 running on it. Quad core Gateway with 8 gig ram and a almost empty 1tb hard drive and LG blue ray writer.
I have not tried to burn anything else with the blu ray writer, as thats what PE8 was for.
I did not have the timeline fully rendered before I started, if that makes any difference.
Anybody have any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Philip

Sorry I'm a newby. I'll put this is PRE 8 where it belongs.

Blu-ray disk plays with snowy pictures at the beginning

I need help with a new issue with my burning (Win 7 Pro, CS5.0 from Adobe's original installation disks, LG BD-rewriter; different BD-R, BD-RE blank disks: Sony, Philips, Kodak).
While playing within Encore with the "Preview From Here" feature doesn't show any problem, burning (either directly from Encore, or from file with ImgBurn) and playing for the TV on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP BDT330), every once in a while, the beginning of some menu items plays a snowy noise intermittent with some black frames for anywhere between 3 - 6 seconds. Playing back several times, this issue happens at the beginning of different menu items (and mainly when playing a playlist with the same items).
Playing commercial Blu-ray disks, or my older Blu-ray disks, there is nothing wrong with the playback.
It seems to me that this is something either that Encore or the LG OD does. Before I start reinstalling the CS5 suite (removing it with Revo first), I would greatly appreciate any idea about the cause of this behavior.
Also, it would help me to eliminate some of the possible culprits if I could play back the Blu-ray disk directly from my BD drive. I would appreciate any suggestion for a good and tested software (free, or paid for) that would not interfere with Adobe (or mess up my "pristine" OS ).
Thank you very much,
Laci.
P.S. My guess at this point is that the culprit is the BD burner. While commercial DVD/BDs are "pressed", home burners use PCM (phase change memory - and also memories from my Intel years working on their reliability). If the burner laser gets older/defective, then the melting/recristallisation of the PCM lmemory element might not be "perfect", and when it is read, it sometimes gives the wrong response (even with ECC which I am not sure they employ in DVDs).
I am still waiting for, and greatly appreciate, some advice before I rush to buy a new burner or reinstall the whole CS5.
Thanks,
Laci.
P.P.S. Sorry for all these information most of which is probably irrelevant (especially the PCM memory part ). I opened (should have done first) the BD disk on my computer and checked the m2ts files in BDMV > STREAM > *.m2ts. They all (including the motion menus) play flawlessly on the computer with WMP. So, the burning and playback of these files causes no problem. The problem most probably comes when Encore builds the navigation. Since the motion menus on the disk also play without any hickups, I assume that it is the Encore itself that causes these problems. I am going to reinstall CS5. (The still open question at this point is, how it is possible that this snowy few seconds before some of these m2ts files does not always happen at the same m2ts file playing back the same BD disk on the TV.)
I would still appreciate some input from the expert users.
BTW, is there any program out there whith what I could substitute Adobe Encore? (This is the only weak spot of the entire suite ).

What does menu items mean? I assume that it is menus themselves, not timeline movies?
What could Encore do that would create this? I don't know, but assume that it is more likely to do with disk seek problems and the like. And yes, where things are put physically on the disk can be an issue. But burn/disk issues are more likely.
Have you tried this on a different player?

2011 MacBook Pro shuts down while working with blu ray disks

I am trying to backup my blu ray disks to digital formats in the event that a disk is damaged. I am using an early 2011 MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.5 with a Samsung SE-506 external blu ray writer. I have been using handbrake to rip DVD's, but downloaded Make MKV to handle blu rays. I successfully ripped one blu ray disk last night. Once before that, and four times after, the computer shut down after failing to read the disk. When it restarts, a gray screen reports that the computer experienced and error and had to shut down. I believe this has something to do with the fact that OSX does not natively support blu ray disks. The disk drive is plugged into one of two USB slots in the computer. The other slot has a USB hub with two external hard drives and some other devices connected to it.
So far, the computer has failed to recognize the disk, and nothing comes up in Make MKV. The last time I tried, the computer recognized the disk, Make MKV read it and showed the titles. When I tried to rip the disk, the process failed. After another attempt, the computer shut down. This has never happened while using the original disk drive, or while using DVD's in the external drive.
I spoke with Samsung support, and they have no record of this being a problem. So, where do I go from here? I have quite a few disks to rip, so I am hoping this issue can be resolved. I have searched around, but cannot find any information on this problem happening to someone else.

My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive

My iMac Keeps on try to boot on my external Blu-ray disk drive and not the hard drive. Therefore when I turn it on, it boots up and then it go pass the sound and the apple logo come up on screen but then it frezzes and noing happens; even if I hold down the power button.
System Software Overview:
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
It should not boot off the Blu-ray read/wrigt.
iMac from 2013 Q1
Blu-ray is LG read/wrigt for Blu-rays, HD DVDs, DVDs and CDs pluged in by USB

Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those 3rd-party items that Roger pointed out, one at a time, and restart. Continue until you determine which ones are causing the problem. If KP while in safe mode, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember. See

Exporting to a Blu Ray Disk

Currently, i make movies from a combination of HD video & digital photographs. I compose the project, add special effects & music - then share to Apple Prores 422. I then burn the DVD using an external DVD drive & third party software to play on our DVD player.
I am thinking about buying an external BluRay drive & burning the projects to a Blu Ray disk since most folks I share this finished movie with now have Blu Ray players. These videos can be anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hr.
I have searched which is the best drive & have come across a Samsung SE-506BB/TSBD. I have found Blu Ray blank disks that seem to be decent.
But where my searching isn't clear on - is the best way to save the project & which is the most efficient & easy to use software to burn a successful Blu Ray disk.
Any suggestions?
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, Final Cut Pro X, Version 10.1.3
Thank you in advance.

You can use FCP X and burn a Bluray directly from the FCP X Share menu.
Another method for repeated discs at a later stage is to create a Bluray Disc Image to a hard drive.
Toast 11 or later with the Bluray Plugin will also work using an FCP X Master File.
Once burnt, the discs will require dedicated Bluray software to play on your Mac.

External Blue Ray Disk Drive and T61, Or is one available for the Ultra Bay yet?

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone has a Blue Ray Disk Drive connected to there T61? Can the T61 handle a Blue Ray Disk Drive? The reason I am asking is because I was thinking of getting one for my T61 and then playing Blue Ray movies thru my LCD TV, the LCD TV being monitor #2. Would the quality be as good as a normal Blue Ray player that is hooked to the TV? My graphics card is Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M. Thank you for in advance for any advice on this.
Cheers,

Blue Ray Disk Equipment and Players

Hi all,
just a quick question: in general, is it possible to watch blue ray disks (bd) with Archlinux? Which hardware equipment is best to be used and which applications for playing have to be used?
I am interested in the solution, so commercial applications are also valid for me. Has anyone experience with this topic?
Best regards,
Martin

@B
+1 on that, people always complain about privacy issues and yet they happily use _online_ services to store data .... go figure. As you say, even if you have local copies of the files, if the drm server goes down then ... "we're sorry but we can no longer provide this service, thank you for giving us your money but now we're rich and we don't need you anymore", not even mentioning that if you want to watch _the same thing_ on several different devices most probably you will need to buy it all over again (that's completely fair, as far as the ones receiving the money are concerned that is).
Current "anti piracy" laws would be hilarious if it wasn't for people getting sued for ridiculously high amounts of money and the legal constraints anyone faces if wanting to keep legal.
Also the current practise of ISPs is to limit the speed of non http traffic (or even all traffic during peak hours of the day) and according to recent news it is being considered to limit the speed of the http traffic during half the day if they decide you are using it beyond what is considered "fair use" ... there goes "the cloud" down the drain.
And lastly, as always, linux users get screwed as there is no support whatsoever from anyone (concerning the playback of media with DRM) if you want to stay legal or don't want all the hassle (and risks) of going around DRM.

Am I able to play blu-ray disks on this Satellite L755?

I have received a driver Alert which should enable me to play Blu Ray disks.
Downloading does not work on my L755.
Am I able to play blu ray on this machine?

Thanks. I have Satellite L755 Model TAIS Model Number PSK2YE-0MX014EN.
I understood when I bought the laptop that I could not play Blu-ray, but the repeated "Alert" seems to promise otherwise:
"This software provides you the capability to play back Blu-ray discs"
Shame....
