CS5 Encore Files & Formats http://help.adobe.com/en_US/encore/cs/using/WS5C9E1CF8-B5BC-436f-89D3- 61DDC02A2C47a.html

>should already be a Blu-ray

Well, it would seem that Encore doesn't like SOMETHING about the file and therefore wants to transcode

3 choices I know of are dimensions or data rate or sound type

Since you say your file matches to the "yadda yadda" degree, then I have no other ideas

>wonder if it's the presets that are wrong or if Encore has a bug

I just exported a Premiere Pro timeline using the Media Encoder with H.264 Blu-ray format and the 1080i 29.97 HQ preset. Presumably, you would choose this so that you do not have to transcode when you get to Encore. However, when I put my 16GB M4V file in a timeline, it wants to transcode saying it is "Untranscoded". Why? It also says the Blu-ray disc is only 11GB.

 

Please tell me there is something I can do to prevent from having to re-encode or transcode this file when it is already in a Blu-ray format.

is it that stupid "2 pass VBR" bug showing its ugly head?

<vent> i swear.... when it comes to DVD authoring encore is great, but encore BD authoring is just atrocious. if i had a first born son to sell, i would totally pony up for Sony Blu-Print and be done with it once and for all... but alas i'm dealing with what i have.... i really wish for CS6 they would give Sonic the middle finger if sonic won't update authorcore for adobe, and recreate encore from ground up to better work with BD on their own terms (like the work they did with overhauling/rewriting Audition) or have 2 seperate apps. Encore DVD with sonic authorcore engine and Encore BD with some new adobe proprietary nonsense. or try to hit-up sony to see if they would lend a scaled down engine of blu-print to be the backbone and say "up yours sonic, we got sony." i just wish encore BD was a smidge comparable to scenarist/blu-print/dostudio or such. why can't i make a flipping simple pop-up menu with backgrounds without jumping through all the layer edge hoops?!? i realize those apps are priced that way for a reason.... but i have yet to really be creatively inhibited when it comes to DVD authoring, but i'm constantly hitting walls and upsets with BD authoring when i step outside a few familiar templates. i want more interactivity. ah well... </vent>

This bug is with only H264 VBR 2 Pass presets and if you change to VBR 1 Pass keeping evverything same, the bug should not be there.

maybe they are not aware. to think of it.... i don't think i've posted a bug report. i should proabably do that. maybe no one has??

Just did a 2pass with profile set to main instead of high. Still didn't work. Encore shows it as untranscoded. I'm using CS5.5.

Either way, main, high, whichever. It's ludicrous for this bug to still be around.

Hi,

I just wanted to say this bug, encore wanting to re-transcode, also happens with the PP Blu-ray MEG2 setting. I made a Blu-ray disc for the first time. Just used all default settings in adobe media encoder and a Blu-ray meg2 file. Encore wants to re-transcode the file. This should be fixed!! Plan and simple. Fix it. :-(

I love Premiere Pro, etc. But I hate that Adobe makes us, the end user, shell out $350 bucks just to get something fixed. The fix should be a free update.  Stop creating a new version and work on fixing the current one. :-(. Bugs like this has been around since at least version CS2 and I am sick and tired that Adobe can't or won't fix the bugs. And we, the end user have to find our own work around. Plus I love the integration in CS5. that I don't have to render in a 3rd party app as a middle step as I had to in version CS3 to produce high quality DVDs. Adobe did finally implement a better and good quality workflow for authoring DVDs if you export/transcode one sequence at a time that is.

hello Jeff,

i just read the thread '

Aug 21, 2010 2:23 AM

How do I fix an error with "Picture Timing SEI"?

and i checked my files and the export from PPRO is interlaced upper field first

and the transcode (that didn't complete) is also interlaced upper field first

i trashed the encore preferences before i started

so i think i've done everything correctly

again, i don't want to have to use another program

and i don't want to be limited to 1 pass...

thanks again,

j

I am reporting the exact same problem.

Main

VBR 2 Pass

Encore will take it as untranscoded.

However, another project looks just fine, exact the same setting.

Could someone explain to me whether High just does not work?  I have m4v from past project whcih are encoded by default setting (so High instead of Main).  Am I left with the only option to re-encode?  This is my biggest concern.

Thanks!

Thanks so MUCH Diana1314. You will now be reported to the Spam Patrol. If that isn't a PR line, I'm not sure what is.

Just wanted to jump in here and say I am having the same exact issue.

Trying all the same stuff, Encore wants to transcode 2-Pass VBR High/Main m4v files.  If I encode just a minute or two of my sequence, it'll take it fine but the whole thing ~1.5 hrs it wants to re-transcode it.

Very odd and VERY frustrating, especially considering trying to find work arounds involves waiting for six hour + encodes to complete

This has been around since CS4?

That is ridiculous.
