Burning Bluray files…
Here’s the problem:
I tried burning a bluray for a client using the Final Cut> Share option. The files compressed, then the bluray burning failed. Anyway, I have the compressed files. They seemed to compress just fine. Now I just need to burn them with the menu settings I created in Final Cut.
Do I really need to start all over again? The files are only 19GB, and the HD video is only 1.5 hrs long, so I can’t imagine it’s a size related issue. I just don’t want to waste 4hrs recompressing something just to get the menu settings I created already.
I know that I can “reburn” something after it has burned once, but I wasn’t presented with that option this time. Also, what if I hypothetically said ‘no’ and then changed my mind later… Is there a way to “compress and burn to bluray” using compressed bluray files? Does automator support that?

Toast # 9 (or #10) with BR plugin, good luck

Is there a way to do it without Toast? The menus Toast provides don’t exactly work – or look good. Plus all my chapters disappear.

When in the Share dialog, look at the bottom and Send to Compressor. It will pass all of your menus and chapter markers, then it will burn your BluRay for you.

My files are already compressed. Is there a way to get the compressed bluray files back into that share dialog to make another bluray?
-
At the moment, the Share dialog is for one-off media. Maybe there will be an update that allows multiple copies. UNLESS… there’s an option that I am not aware of.

I don’t know, but wouldn’t you just be able to take the compressed files and drop them on the disc image and then burn?

I did a little more digging. Just dragging and dropping will not work.
This is from Brian Gary in the Apple Discussions. Apparently there is a hidden program called Create Disc which will re-burn previously encoded jobs. This may work.
Create Disc is located in:
Hard Drive / Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster/
(note: the above is your main library, NOT your user library)
If you launch Create Disc it has a File > Open Recent menu option. “Recent” burns will be located in that location. I use quotes because it calls up temporary aliases (similar to other “recent” options in other apps) to previous jobs.

Well… That’s a tip that worth lots of money!
Thanks, Andrea!

Wow thanks! That really did exactly what I wanted. Is there any chance I can edit the menu, or change the video too?

That’s called editing. In that case, you’d have to re-output and burn just as you did the first time, after that, you do use this new process that has been brought to our attention.
