    Blu-ray Motion Menu Locks Up

    hpmoon Community Member

      This discussion is missing the heart of the error.  Here's a simpler example.  If you have a motion menu and want a button (say, the play movie button) to appear ten seconds into the motion menu, it locks up the motion menu for no explicable reason.  Stranger yet, this only happens with Blu-Ray authoring but works fine on DVDs.  Already, this scenario conflicts with Mr. Bellune's advice to just live with it because it always will happen.  Again, it doesn't on DVDs, just on Blu-Rays.

       

      This problem is discussed at length at Creative Cow's forums (and oddly, not here at all), and the consensus is that Adobe screwed this up and has done nothing to fix it for the last few versions.  Surely they know about it, though; how could they not have tried using the loop point function for Blu-Rays?

          One of the many issues with Blu Ray is that not all players are created equally, and the more menu tricks you use the better the chance your player cannot handle it.

          Success will depend on the memory in the buffer of your BD player.

            Right.  Except that this issue has 100% nothing to do with what you're talking about.  This issue occurs inside Encore's previews, and when mounting an ISO and viewing with PowerDVD which is the fastest possible access and not limited by physical media speeds/buffers.

              Yes, it looks like a bug.

              I've noticed it with my last two BR projects.

              Mainly it seems that Encore produces, without reason, two movies of the menu/s and players go bit "crazy" looking for the right one.

              This doesn't happen in DVD project.

              Hope this will be fixed, also if it exists since the previous CS4.

                Incredibly, and annoyingly, Adobe ignored filed bug reports on this and the problem absolutely persists.  Again, just incredible.  Why even create a loop point feature if it fundamentally doesn't work?
