    Cant make a 720p Blu ray as all transcode settings come out as 1080

    remainz Community Member

      HI

       

      Im trying to make a 1280 720 59i blu ray disk. My input is 29.97 progressive 1080p from Premiere.

      Whatever settings I use my encoded BD-Folder build always appears to be in 1920 1080.

      I choose my default transcode settings after dynamic link from premiere as 1280 720 59i.

       

      If I import the folder into premiere it says it is 1920 1080  progressive, even though it cant be progressive but I wish it was!

      When I watch the outputted folder in VLC it always says it is 1920 1080 in media info and plays at that size.

       

      Even when i import a 1080p clip to a 1280 720 timeline in encore my output is still 1080i.

       

      What Im I doing wrong?

          Are you using Encore CS4 or CS5?

           

          If you are using CS5 then you need to do the below steps for this -

           

          1. Right click on your asset in Encore

          2. Click on Transcode Settings

          3. Select Dimension as 1280x720

          4. Select Frame Rate as 59.94

          5. Click on ok button

           

          Build your project and the output will be 1280x720 with framerate 59.94.

           

          In CS5 Encore generates the output, based on asset.

           

          Thanks,

            I figured it out finally .

            You have to set it with the properties windows on the left with project window set on the right.All other dialoge boxes mean nothing to the output.

             

            All default setting options windows mean nothing to the final output and I wonder whats the point in them popping up when you create a project.

             

            I hate encore for being so unintuitive and I hate blu ray for being so unProgressive!
