Blu-ray requests
jbandy Nov 15, 2009 10:45 PM1. I have been making blu-rays using CS3 and CS4 with h.264 assets. The h.264s are 720p 59.94. I use one timeline for my projects with multiple assets. for some reason when I make a disc image and a disc from that image, both encore CS3 and CS4 put a extra chapter at 33 seconds into my longer assets where there is no chapter marker on my timeline. I have checked on my timeline in premiere and have no chapter markers there either.
2. In CS4 between my assets the finished blu-ray will play between 10seconds and 2minutes of black before moving onto the next asset on the timeline. CS3 does not have this problem. So I have been using it instead of CS4 for all my blu-ray projects.
3. Neither CS3 or CS4 puts invisible chapter markers at the end of assets like it does for DVDs. So if I have assets on multiple timelines and the video is playing between the last chapter on that timeline and the end of the timeline, the user cannot skip forward to the next timeline. Instead they have to wait the remaining duration of the current timeline. I have tried putting manual chapter markers on the end of my timelines but they don't go exactly at the end of assets because of restrictions on the timeline to where you can put chapter markers. It looks really awful because you see the last bit of the remaining timeline before the disc continues onto the next.
3. Navigation functionality: The menu remote button does not work with blu-rays in encore and there is no way to skip backward to previous timelines.
This is a problem because users have to go back to the very beginning of a disc and skip forward until they get to the chapter they want and if they go to far, have to start all over again at the beginning of the disc.
These are my main problems that I have to get fixed. Numbers 1 and 2 are the most important. If I can have all my assets on one timeline with no extra chapter markers and no black between assets I would not need to worry about using extra timelines.
Thanks
If anyone has any suggestions I am open to any help.
