Batch Export for Bluray authoring

[jeff8]

I use a 59i timeline for Edius to create a bluray from timeline. I am thinking about exporting my sequences as a batch edit, but I would like to know the best settings to use for when I make bluray from Edius. Is the bluray exporter the best or Mpeg2 at 50mbps? Thank you in advance.

50mbps is too much for Blu-ray

25mbps is plenty good enough because Blu-ray requires 4:2:0 and not 4:2:2

The bitrate has nothing to do with the chroma sub sampling.

yes, we all know that

25mbps is more than plenty for 4:2:0 mpeg and 50mbps is not allowed for Blu-ray

25Mbit fo HD? I would not call it plenty. Even good AVC at 25Mbit is not plenty. It's definitely not plenty if source comes from prosumer camera and it's interlaced and has bit of noise.

If source is not long than there is no reason not to use eg. 38Mbit to maximise quality. Blu-ray is not as sensitive as DVD and high bitrate is not a problem.

I specialize in making Blu-ray that work in all players, and they always do :)

and I doubt that more than 10% Blu-ray will work without freeze and stutter if using 50mbps

I rest my case

I did not say 50Mbit, but 38Mbit and I'm 99.99% sure every player will play it fine.
25Mbit is a choice which compromises quality, nothing else.

and I only answered the OP with the fact that 50mbps is too much, he can use 38 if he wishes

So would it be best to use the mpeg2 at 25mbit for bluray instead of the bluray encoder? Thanks again.

[jeff8]

Not really. You can use H264 exporter at 38Mbit, specially if you have Intel CPU which supports hardware h264 encoding.

I have tried batch exporting h.264 and then adding those file to the disc burner program within Edius. When I try adding them it gives me an error stating that the files are not recognized and shows a list that are..mpg is on of the ones recognized.

[jeff8]

Thank you, how do you set the h.264 to m2ts? Sorry, never did that before.

[jeff8]

Great, thank you again.
