Blue-Ray

[Khoi Pham]

I have Sony Architect 5.0 that makes Blu-Ray too now with menus. I have just made a few so far. Export HQ from Edius, put on Vegas timeline to set chapter markers and name, encode from Vegas for Architect preset, import into Architect, choose style and all chapter markers etc are set with names given in Vegas.

Hey Ron, what does it use MPEG2 HD or AVC?

Hey Ron, what does it use MPEG2 HD or AVC?

It will use either. I have found it faster to use Vegas to encode as it uses all cores and places markers etc recognized by Architect. Templates are in Vegas for Architect so I have used the templates. Works OK so far burned to Sony BD-RE discs.

Great, I will have to try it out, I don't need templates, I usually do motion menus, it does accept motion menu right?

Even Scenarist BD requires Windows XP 32 bit.......
RE: The 2 being mentioned. They both are severely limited when you look at what Blu-ray Disc has to offer. I don't prefer one to the other, they both use the same compiling engine which is the most important thing.

Anyway, I wish I had a dollar for every poster who wants Blue-ray but can't spell it. I guess that means it is now a very important thing for Grass Valley to consider, let's hope we see something towards the end of year.

Mark,
Are you using Do Studio for all of your BD projects?

Mark,

I have used the trial for one month (which you can use for authoring to BD-R).
It's good and I'lll use it month by month when needed.

It has been interesting to note the increasing number of programs that now will export to Blu Ray
One of my REAL gripes with this format is the so called cost of the Authoring Program
1: Adobe you have to buy Premier with Encore - too expensive
2: DVDit pro $299USD $699AUD with almost parity the agents in Australia are RIPPING us off so forget that program.
Guess what
I discovered on my computer placed there by the builder "Cyberlink DVD Suite" it suggests it can burn straight to "Blu Ray" and "FREE" has anyone tried this program?
They also have an update that looks even better for $50AUD
Before I go and buy a Blu Ray burner has anyone tried this program
The only other problem I have with Blu Ray is the cost of the disks and the number of "Stand alone" players that will not play the disks I may produce, so there is an incredible minefield out there, although this seems to be improving, but could be costly if you supply a disk to someone with a player that will not play the BD-R disks!
At the moment I use my DVICO TVIX for replay into either a HD Tv or my HD Projector at seminars and the cost per program is zilch

Yep! The TVIX is still the best option around and you can get hundreds of HD programs on one disk (for nought).

I am streaming my BD Files via a GB LAN and play it via a PS3 to the flat panel.

Ulead's Movie Studio will author BlueRay disks, quite a good price too.

Hi! I have a problem making a Blue-Ray from Edius timeline. Disc was burning 5-6 Hours and when I insert into myBD player I got Data file, not movie. Please help me solve this problem, all setting was right, because when I did previous job was no problem.

[antonsvideo]

can you check the contents of the Blu-ray with Windows Explorer

does it have BDMV and Certificate folders?

[eshamis]

Yes it has this two folders.

[antonsvideo]

did you burn the Blu-ray with the EDIUS diskburner, or did you only use EDIUS to create the Blu-ray image?

I usually use Nero to create a proper BDMV Video, I have not tried the EDIUS burn function for a while

I used diskburner, but the problem is I did BD before and it was no problem.

[eshamis]

all so I did Burndisc and create image the same time.
