I seem to be having a nightmare producing a blu ray disc and need some help.
Does anyone use Shoot HDV on a Z1, capture and edit in adobe premiere pro, set up their chapter points and then export to encore and burn a Blu ray disc?
thats what I'm trying to do but I'm not sure I am doing everything correctly.
Capturing and editing and burning to a normal dvd I dont have any problems with but I have a client that wants a Blu Ray copy as well as a some standard def copies.
does anyone do this all within Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore?
What have the results been Like.
If anyone has acheived this I'd like to pick their brains.
My first issue is the Type? I can select Blu Ray disc single layer M-Peg2 or I can select Blu Ray Disc single layer h264.
Ive tried both settings,
for the first option I then chose a default 1440x1080 25 high quality setting.
there is another quality setting in the video tab which I left at 4
The Bit Rate encoding I left at VBR 2 pass
with a minimum bit rate set at 18
a target bit rate set at 25
and a maximum bit rate set at 30 ( all default values)
The file size came out at 11 .6 gig
now adjusting the bit rate settings increases the file size which I'm assuming increases the quality Is that right?
But is there any point or will i have problems playing the disc back on a set top player. if the bit rate is set to high? what do others use.
it took around 7 hours to encode a 1 hour project and then open up encore. After constructing the menus encore took another 45 minutes to produce a disc.
I did a similar thing with another time line and this time chose the H264 setting
this time there was no minimum bit rate but a target of 20 and an maximum of 30.
again it was a 1 hour project and I expected the encoding before opening up encore to be about the same time and was prepared to let it run over night but the process took only about 1.5 hours before opening up encore. I havent tried burning the disc yet.
So why the different times to open up encore.
I guess its got somethinhg to do with my initial project settings in adobe premiere pro.
I use a matrox RTX2 card and therefore have captured using the Matrox-HD - 1440x1080i-25fps-HDv option rather than the alternative mpeg-2-iframe option.
Any help and advice will be very gratefully received.
thanks
