DVD/Blu-Ray with Edius 5.0.

[Dvideo32]

Hi,
I wanted to know how people are creating DVD/Blu-Ray disc with the new Eduis 5.0.
I have been using Encore, but Edius 5.0 does not create .m2v files but only program streams. When I demux it with TMPGEnc to a .m2v and I create motion menus Encore crashes.
So I was wondering how people are creating DVD/Blu-Ray discs and how is the time rendering and the final output quality.
Until I find a good solution I am going back to Edius 4.6.

Thank you

Hi,

I installed 4.6 on another machine so I could use Procoder Express and I also use Encore... Im still battleing on the best work flow for E5 Blu-Ray.

I should keep my voice down here but I ended up using PPro CS3 to get something that didnt get Encore all confused...

Im still searching....

There are multiple posts on this subject. Do a search. You will find a plethora of information on this. If you have Procoder 3 or TMPGE the workflow is the same in 4 or 5.
Basically, time rendering depends on how fast your system performs. Output quality depends on your initial shoot quality and the encoder that you use.
Procoder Express was free, well included in 4.x, but it did not do the quality of PC3 with the extra settings. TMPGE does a good job as well.
You are better off NOT using the authoring programs encoder, unless that is all you have.

I output an Mpeg-2 file with the "output audio" unchecked (don't know if this helps, but I did it).

I then output a wave file for the audio.

When I brought these into Encore, I then added the Mpeg to the timeline and deleted the empty audio track and added my wave file to the timeline.

It worked but took a long time to import the video file into Encore.

I hope they add elementary streams to Edius 5, can not believe they did not include it...

Me too! I was astonished not to see the option in the "Save as type" drop-down box. I used to export elementary streams for use in DVDLab Pro. I hope I don't have to go back to Edius 4.

You wont Proton as DVDLab Pro parses the MPEG file to Video and Audio when you import to the assets bin
