Hi Folks,
I have now spent 3 weeks trying to burn a Blu-ray from my completed Premier Pro/Encore project. I've tried doing it umpteen different ways - by exporting the project from Premier to Encore and then using the highest possible burn rate. It gets most of the way through and then gives me the now infamous message "Blu-ray Error: "file already exists", Code:"6", Note: "Video buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 5.321 ...."
I checked at around that time and found I had a title, three photographs and audio all occurring at the same time - so I shifted the photos to make sure this didn't occur and tried to re-export to an image file. I can export the first part of the doco successfully (the part where the three individual docos are presented as one). I have added the three individual docos (complete with their own set of credits) at the end of the movie. But this larger file won't burn and image. I get the infamous message above - and yes - I did make the same change to each of the sub-docos as I did to the main doco. There are three menus and a lot of still photos in the production. If the worst comes to the worst I can send the client a Blu-ray of the doco without the ancillary subunits - but this isn't what I want to do.
I have been told - in response to a previous post of mine to check the maximum bitrate - Encore doesn't give me those and I don't know how to find them.
So - being unsuccessful doing it this way I created H264 movies from the Premier Pro and imported these files (along with their accompanying wav audio) into Encore and tried again to burn an image - same error as above.
So now I am trying a third way. I got Encore to create a Blu-ray image folder and am trying to get Img-Burn to create an image file for me. My reasoning here being that IMg-Burn seems "bullet proof" and would find a way around the problem that Encore seems to have with my files. But when I open my Blu-ray folder it doesn't seem to have the requisite files for Img-Burn to do the job. Here's what Encore made for me ...
What the hell do I do with these?
BTW - I have a solid state boot drive, 16 gigs of memory and a six core 3.3 gig processor - grunt doesn't seem to be the problem. I have a separate scratch disk.
Aaaaaaaargh! I hate Encore!
Thanks in advance for any light you can cast in my weeks of freakin' darkness!
Cheers and beers,
