Blu Ray disc

[Walter Soyka]

[nick avaliani] “Today I had screening test in theater and the light of video was very bad. I was told by the guy at theater technical dep. that this was because of bad projector with about 3 000 illuminate I do not know what this illuminate means but previously I tested that Blu ray in bigger screen and result was excellent and the illuminate was 30 000 of that one. So it can be because of this?”

He probably said lumens. A lumen is a unit measuring the power of light. Basically, it describes how bright a light source is. A 30K projector is of course substantially brighter than a 3K projector.

[nick avaliani] “There was few drawbacks in video, something like 1/2 second breaks in video. But in computer when I play the blu ray there is no any error. So it is their player problem right?”

I assume that when you say “in computer” you’re referring to a PC, or maybe the original source files? There are no Mac Blu-ray players at the moment.

It’s possible that it’s a player problem, or maybe there are fingerprints or scratches on your disc, or maybe you pushed the data rate a little too high on your encode. What data rate are you using?

[nick avaliani] “And the guy told me to write on blu ray 5 minute tracks of my movie not whole movie as one file. Can you tell me how this I can do from compressor? or toast titanium. I prefer compressor”

That seems a little odd — did he give a reason why?

I don’t think you’ll be able to do that with Compressor. Compressor supports chapters, but I don’t think it does multiple tracks. Maybe Toast can do it, but I’d be surprised. You’ll probably have to go to Adobe Encore to do this (but many, many users have found it to be very buggy, frustrating, and unreliable) or a switch to a PC authoring package like NetBlender DoStudio — or hire someone with these tools to make the disc for you.

Thanks for good advice. I will be releasing movie on that 30k lumens projector so overall colors what I tested was good enough.

Regarding error I can watch video by toast video viewer in mac the disc is in lacie device where I recorded movie so in mac in excelent quality you can watch movie.

You can also test by getting yourself a Blu ray player and watching on a TV set (LCD or plasma).

Thanks to all

Where can I check data rate? And what is recoommended data rate to record blu ray without having problem with drawbacks

Thanks

Inside Compressor. The manual is very helpful if read correctly.

A book I highly recommend you get to understand Blu Ray is “Fast Path to Blu Ray”

Thanks – will

But today can any body advise me how to record blu ray withoutnumber. Of drawbacks or minimize them to as llittle as possible

So reducing data rate will record better?
