    I’m a little out of date as I haven’t really had to dive into BluRay discs yet…sorry for my ignorance.

    I have AVCHD footage…I exported it as H.264 to build a BluRay disc in Encore. After completing the build and burn when testing the disc on a sony BluRay player the disc freezes about 30 seconds into playing. One of my discs starts out with photos .. it will play through the photos fine..once it hits the video it freezes about 30 seconds in. I deinterlaced my video footage manually in PrPro. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that?

    Dont deinterlace your footage
    Use a Bluray preset from Premiere.
    Burn half speed and make sure its a good brand like Verbatim.
    You can also make an iso and burn it with imgburn.

    Having more information about your settings in Encore would help to find a solution – screen grabs are always nice. What kind (brand, model) of burner are you using? What brand of discs? Have you tried playing back the discs in more than one player?

    The video looked like garbage when it was interlaced…but that was in my PrPro monitor. When you say burn at half speed…half of what? I use Verbatim. I am making a test BluRay disc with different settings. Thank you for your help. If this doesn’t work I will give more settings.

    like the other said, it could be your disc media causing it.

    I know some have had issues with h.264 encoded content in Encore,
    others not.

    What I do know is, if you use mpeg2 instead which looks every bit
    as good, at a higher bit rate there will be less issues to deal with.

    Thanks, I’m using Verbatim BD-R I’ve always had better results with Verbatim.

    I’ll try the mpeg2. I did a test last night – exported a few minutes of my timeline and used H.264 – HD 1080i 29.97 burnt one at 3x and one at 6x both played fine. Thank you for all of your responses!
