1. Re: Difficulty / Memory overruns going from HDV to Bluray
Steve Grisetti Oct 15, 2009 12:05 PM (in response to ckelly33)Are you using the right project preset? You should be using the project preset for HDV video -- and, when you place your clips on the project timeline, there should NOT be a red line above them.
Is that what's happening?

2. Re: Difficulty / Memory overruns going from HDV to Bluray
ckelly33 Oct 15, 2009 6:11 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)No - but MAYBE I chose the incorrect preset before, I don't recall. It has been a while because it's so discouraging to ruin another Bluray. Anyway, I restarted another project, HDV preset, no red line. Got throught the project with less slow down that I recall, certainly no crashes. About to burn my first project - one question: 1440x1080 (which is obviously how it is recorded) or should I burn at 1920x1080? 1920x1080 seems like it might be compatible with more bluray players BUT I'm worried about making another Bluray coaster,

Steve Grisetti Oct 16, 2009 5:19 AM (in response to ckelly33)I recommend you use the default project preset. (Although there are two sizes listed, they produce the same size video -- the pixels are just shaped differently.)

Kodebuster Oct 16, 2009 11:44 AM (in response to ckelly33)Kelly, I have a Bluray burner on my system, but have yet to utilize it on output due to the outragious pricing for Bluray media.
My suggestion is if you intend to use this media for video Projects, then bite the bullet and purchase at least one Bluray Rewriteable Disc for test runs on output.
These are not cheap and usually run in the $25 range for one disc, but you can re-use them many times, and is a good way to test a Project right thru to the Bluray burn process, before you burn to a permanant disc...

ckelly33 Oct 16, 2009 6:13 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)Wouldn't you know it - I get my project ready to burn and my BD-drive malfunctions before I can attempt a burn. Might be a while before I can continue this experiment...

ckelly33 Oct 27, 2009 5:49 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)Steve, hopefully you haven't given up on me. I just got in my replacement drive in and replaced it. I did as you suggested and kept the defual (1080x1440) settings. In the meantime I have also gone from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit (same machine) and hope to upgrade from 4gb RAM to 6 soon.
nyway, if you are still there, I've just begun the "Burn" process of 2 hours of HDV video and menus. It is currently in the long encoding process - so maybe by late tonight or morning I will have results (fingers crossed)

ckelly33 Oct 27, 2009 10:31 PM (in response to ckelly33)Crazy. Five hours in and the encoding is only at 46%! It that typical for a quad-core processor w/4 gb ram? Oh, well, we will see what the am brings.

8. Re: Difficulty / Memory overruns going from HDV to Bluray
ckelly33 Oct 29, 2009 5:59 AM (in response to ckelly33)1st disc burned without a hitch. Second had the decency to crash before getting to the burn stage, so I didn't lose another disc. Retrying disc 2 but it looks like maybe my issues are solved...gonna wait on one more disc!

ckelly33 Oct 29, 2009 6:19 PM (in response to ckelly33)Looks like I'm done here. Thanks to all!! If it only wouldn't take 12-14 hours to encode and burn, I could really accomplish something. Maybe doubling my memory next week will help with that.

Bill Hunt Oct 29, 2009 7:43 PM (in response to ckelly33)Glad to hear of your success. About the only thing that will noticeably affect Transcoding will be dual i7's. Now, a 64-bit OS and 12GB of RAM would not hurt, as would a couple of additional fast HDD's, allocated properly. HD to BD takes a lot of horsepower, or a lot of time.
Good luck,
Hunt

ckelly33 Oct 29, 2009 7:50 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)WOW! DUAL i7's??? And while dimming the lights in my house, this would cut my process dow to roughly - what, 5 mins?

12. Re: Difficulty / Memory overruns going from HDV to Bluray
Bill Hunt Oct 29, 2009 7:58 PM (in response to ckelly33)Um-m, maybe not 5 mins., but about two hours for a full BD Project.
I understand. I had to put in 20 amp dedicated circuits with separate grounding, just for my dual Xeons. Now, I would probably need to tap into the main grid, for the dual i7's. Hey, there IS a use for 0000 wire, right? Instead of putting up Holiday lights, I will just let the glow from the power cables light up the neighborhood...

13. Re: Difficulty / Memory overruns going from HDV to Bluray
ckelly33 Oct 29, 2009 8:05 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)In all seriousness, I cancelled a custom build with a single i7 @3.0 ghz and 12GB RAM due todelays in production. I figured I probably wasn't stepping up THAT much from an Intel quad core at 2.33 ghz and 8 gb. Opinion? Would I see a truly significant difference?
