Return to last menu - how can you do this on a Blu-ray?

Hi,

 

I seem to have a problem witht he Return To Last Menu button setting, this is how it works:

 

I have a BD and a DVD project, both pretty much the same, they have a main menu and a chapter menu, all working fine. In the disc properties, the Title Menu buton is set to go to the main menu. The issue I am having is that when I am on either disc, pressing the menu button, which is a title menu button on a BD player, will only take me back to the menu which is set globally - the Title Menu button setting. It does not seem that I can press this button and return to the last menu, I thought the RTLM setting on a timeline would take me back to the menu I was last on - is this possible?

 

I hope that all makes sense - on the preview wndow in Encore, there is a Title Menu button and a Menu button, the menu button seems to take me back from the timeline to the last viewed menu but the title menu button takes me back to the globally selected Title Menu button.

 

I am using Encore 6.

 

Many thanks for any help.

I keep getting this error message about 11gb into burning a 22gb Blu-ray. "Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code "3", Note: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M25 File." I have tried just about everything from running as administrator, starting a new project and changing the disc too. I am using CS6 and going crazy... any ideas?

Best export settings for blu-ray.

I'm in the process of making a blu-ray that includes a slideshow done in AE. I have several questions regarding export settings that I can't seem to find a solid answer for anywhere online. I want the quality to look excellent once on the blu-ray. I would like to export 60fps if that would look any better than 30/24fps (now or in the future, and if all current HD-TVs would be compatible). I would like to know how many bits per channeI should choose in color settings. I would also like to know if I should disable the layer cache and ignore sequence rendering errors in the 'secret' preferences section. I just watched a tutorial that said to change the bits per channel to 16, and enable those two 'secret' preferences, but the person giving the tutorial didn't explain what they do.

 

One problem I'm currently having when exporting (a .mov file with PNG compression) is very strange audio (that I can't even notice until I convert the video to something like h.264, and can preview it), and it just started doing this out of nowhere. I exported my project in a Quicktime format using PNG compression to have a 'lossless' quality file without it taking up half my hard drive. From what I've read this is the correct way to export from AE. Then I read that I should take that file and convert it using Media Encoder for whatever resolution/format that I need. What would be the best format to convert to for Blu-Ray using AME?

 

I am fairly new to AE, but have a good deal of experience with Premiere. I've also been working on PC's since the mid 80s so you can respond in technical jargon if need be and I should be able to follow anything you explain (for the most part).

 

Ultimately I would like to know the best settings to export from AE and Premiere (for a few other videos), as well as the the best formats to (use with a final export to Blu-Ray in mind). I will not be needing this for the web, dvd, or PC at all (ever). I would also like to know what settings I should use to export a small 'preview' of my project. What I'm trying to do is export at like half the resolution, quickly, and a really small file size, just so I can see what my project looks like so far. I would just use the preview window in AE to do this but don't have a ton of ram and it also doesn't play back audio.

 

I offer my appreciation in advance for answering this to the best of your ability and know that anyone else trying to do this same thing, which I would imagine will eventually be thousands or millions, will greatly appreciate it too. Thanks and I look forward to hearing everyones input.

CBR or VBR - What's the difference?

January 24, 2006, 5:46 am

CBR is Constant Bit Rate, VBR is Variable Bit Rate. In a CBR MPEG stream the encoder uses the same amount of bits for every second of video. So if you set it to CBR with a bit rate of 5Mb/s all of the video will be encoded using 5 megabits per second. For some sections this will be enough, other sections could have been better with more bits per second (because they are more difficult to compress - e.g. lots of motion), while others could have used less bits and still look good (easy to compress - e.g. a shot from a tripod with almost no movement in the subject matter).

With a VBR encoding at 5Mb/s, the 5Mb/s would be the average bit rate. You would also set a maximum (and a minimum) bit rate. For the hard to encode sections the encoder will use more than 5Mb/s, for the easy material it will use less. But as the average is 5Mb/s, the resulting file will be the same size as the CBR one - i.e. it will take up the same amount of space on the DVD.

The advantage of VBR is that it uses the available space more efficiently. As it can use more bits per second for the difficult stuff there will be less artifacts in the MPEG-2 video.

Set top player compatibility should be the same for CBR and VBR. If you want to maximize compatibility for writable DVDs it may help to keep the total audio plus video bit rate at or below a maximum of 7Mb/s.

As many set top players have at least some problems reading DVD±R discs they will encounter read errors from time to time. If the read error exceeds the error correction the player will have to reread the information. While the player is reading again, the video will keep playing from the decoder's buffer. But as the size of this buffer is limited, it will be empty at some point. The higher the bit rate, the sooner the buffer will run dry. When that happens playback will stutter, stall or fail completely.

By using a moderate bit rate, you are giving the player more of a chance to recover from read errors. 7Mb/s isn't a magical figure, it is just a general recommendation - weighing image quality against compatibility.

If you know that the player used has no problems with writable DVDs you can ignore this advice. The same is true if your end product is going to be a pressed/replicated DVD.

Random red frames inserted into my mpg's!

I'm using Encore 2.0 and just finished transcoding a film in Premiere 2.0. The outputted MPEG-DVD looks fine, so I import it into Encore, and when I'm setting the chapter points, I notice some frames flash neon red. I'm assuming it's something to do with bad frames? No idea why it does this because if I watch the film say in Windows Media Player, no red frames. But once it's in Encore 2.0 it inserts this corruption.

My setup: Windows xp pro, AMD Anthlon 3800+ Dual Core, 1Gig RAM, screen, mouse, keyboard. Anyone else have this problem?

am I missing extra content in the Library?

I've just purchased the Adobe Complete Collection and this is my first use of Adobe products. Therefore, my apologies in advance if this question is inappropriate. I've tried to search the forums for an answer, but haven't been able to locate a solution.

 

I downloaded the extra CS6 Premiere Pro and Encore content and installed it onto my iMac. When I look at the Library content now, there are some sample menus in each of the categories (e.g., general, education), but no buttons, images, text, backgrounds, etc. I'm learning to use Encore by viewing the Lynda CS5 tutorials and the presenter says that there should be quite a bit of content. However, nothing shows up when I press the various buttons (other than the menus).

 

I've reinstalled the download. I've also checked the Library in the finder and only .psd files are shown in the Library sub-folder. I don't see any references to button files, etc.

 

Can someone please let me know if I've made a mistake somewhere or whether there has been a change in the free Library contents in CS6?

 

Thanks for your help.

BD menu with transitions between pages?

Hello,

 

Can someone tell me if A) it is possible to have a transition video as I navigate from one page to another in a multiple page menu. and B) If it is posible to have a transition video between pages, is there some documentation somewhere that would help guide me through the creation process?

 

For example, Let's say I have a 21 second video for my menus. On page one I want the video to loop from the 5 second point to the 10 second point. Then if I select page 2 the video should play from 10 seconds to 11 seconds and then loop from 11 seconds to 21 seconds. If I select the first page Encore would play the video from 21 seconds to 22 seconds then loop from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.

 

If this is possible, or if there is a different way to accomplish this please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Lou

I just installed everything from CS6 via the Creative Cloud. Opening up Encore CS6, I don't see any contents in the Library panel. Its location is set to /Applications/Adobe Encore CS6/Library, a directory which does not exist.

 

Did I miss a step? How can I get the built-in templates?

Long file name caused Encore to crash during transcoding

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I had some video and audio clips that I had to run through a converter and it added to their file names with their encode settings, etc.  When I went to burn the clips to a DVD using Encore CS4, it kept crashing on me when it went to transcode the files.

 

At first I assumed the files were corrupted or had some sort of problem with the way they had been encoded, so I re-exported them out of the conversion software a number of times using different settings.  Each time Encore would crash when it went to transcode them.  I even tried restarting the computer in Windows XP mode (rather than Windows 7 64-bit) where I have Encore CS3 installed and it was crashing as well.

 

Finally, I shortened the file names (just a guess on my part) and they all worked without a problem.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If Encore had an error message come up to indicate the file name were too long, that would have been helpful.

Encore CS6 (or something) broken?

Ugh, I am crushed right now, a week's worth of work for nothing.

 

Anyway, enough about me.  CS5 user here, had no issues with it except for that VBR 2 Pass bug and Encore CS5 (where encoding at h264 Blu-ray at VBR 2-Pass then bringing the m4v file into Encore, Encore would want to transcode it even though it's Blu-ray legal).

 

So I downloaded the trial for Premiere Pro CS6, Media Encoder CS6 and Encore CS6.

 

Worked on an entire project where I encoded ten hours of video at h264 Blu-ray, VBR 2 Pass, 26Mbps, Maximum Render Quality.

 

Brought the resulting m4v files into Encore CS6 which stated "Don't Transcode".  Great I thought, VBR 2 Pass bug fixed.  So I went ahead and created my menus in Photoshop, brought them in, set chapter points, etc., etc. then built out six Blu-rays from six projects to folders.

 

Burned the first and tested it, everything works fine except for one menu item.  When you select it the disc kind of freezes but will respond to hitting the title button (which brings you back to the main menu).  Playing the chapter before the chapter that freezes the video will play fine then just stop.  The chapter afterwards plays just fine.

 

Thought it might be a bad burn so I tried it again, same thing.  Thought it might be a problem with the encode/build so I tried another project I authored in this fashion and in this build four or five of the chapters have this freezing issue.

 

Now I don't know what to do.  Is the error in my Premiere Pro CS6 project?  Is it Media Encoder CS6 (VBR 2 Pass)?  Is it Encore CS6?

 

I honestly don't know where to begin but to say I am frustrated would be a massive understatement.

 

I'm going to try encoding at VBR 1 Pass to start I guess.  If that doesn't work, I'll have to start all my projects from scratch using CS5.

 

Anyone else having these kinds of issues?

VERY New to Encore....End Action Not Set?

I just upgraded (today) to Premiere CS5.  I've been able to get to the point of burning my project and "Check Project" found an error.  It was "End Action not set" for my sequence.  I'm not 100% what this means (and a search turned up 370 items, leaving me overwhelmed).

 

Is it asking what I want to happen after the last chapter in the sequence does (like return to the Menu default) or is it asking me what will follow after playing chapter one in my sequence?  I really doubt it is the last option but seeing as it is showing a still form a scene from chapter one I want to be sure that I link the correct thing from the get go.

 

Don't bash me, I know I'm stupid!

After saving a project in Encore CS4 to disk image, when I burn this disk image to a DVD using either Toast

or disk utility, the menu buttons disappear. The rest of the project is intact. The menu background is there, the

video itself is burnt correctly on the DVD. But, the buttons and the navigation that would have come with the

buttons is gone.

 

I would appreciate any clues or suggestions.

Encore CS6 missing Library files

Hello all freaks.

 

I have in recent years been CS5 Production Premium installed and then decided yesterday to upgrade to CS6. I bought, downloaded and installed the Production Premium. I installed also package Adobe Premier Pro CS6 additional ReadMe files plus content (menus, buttons and backgrounds) for Adobe Encore CS6.

 

In Encore CS6 it created the groups Corporate, Entertainment, General, Technology, Travel and Wedding, but there appear no menus, buttons or backgrounds when clicked.

 

I've looked in the respective folders under Adobe Encore CS6/Library/, but they contain no psd files, only two m2vloc files of about 10-20 kb each.

 

When I browse the corresponding folders in my old CS5, there is a large amount of psd files with menus, buttons and backgrounds in these folders, but not in my CS6 installation.

I hope someone can help me with a solution so I can move on.

 

Thank you in advance.

NB: Although it looks so, I'm not new in the forum, but have been here for the last 10 years. However, Adobe's staff has (at my request) deleted my original profile, as it constantly showed my e-mail address instead of my username/nickname. It did so today again, so I have once again created a new temporary profile until Adobe gets solved the problem.

BD-RE

I have what may sound like a silly question.

 

From my other post, the rendering issue has been solved by upgrade to 6.0.1,

 

however I am getting the following error while trying to write a Blu-ray disc.

 

"About 5 minutes into to the process I got the message: 

 

"Blu-ray Error: "fatal error", Code: "6", Note: "Video buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 1.935267 seconds -

 

looking at the quotes, the message does not seem to be complete. I will search the forum for this error.

 

My second attempt I got the message:

 

Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code:"3", Note: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to Write M2S file."

 

Because I have wasted so many Blu-ray discs, I went and bought a BD-RE disc.

 

Could this be causing the write issue - "Bit rate  is too high"???

 

I figure the only real dumb question is the one not asked.

 

Thanks!

Encore CS5.1, Issue burning onto 8.5GB DL DVD using WIndows 7, 64bit

Is anyone familiar with the inability of Encore CS5.1 to burn 8.5GB dual layer disc using Windows 7, 64bit.  After many failed attempts, it turns out that you need to set Encore as Windows XP compatability in order to get the disc to burn.  Is this just a glitch with Windows 7 + Adobe Encore CS5.1?

 

The problem with changes the compatability on Encore is that you lose the dynamic link with Premiere Pro CS5.5.

 

Any other suggestions on being able to burn without changing the compatability of Encore?

 

btw, 4.7GB DVDs work fine.

 

Thanks,

Gianni (JohnQ)
