Blu-ray Encoding and Authoring Help!!!
I have been trying to burn Blu-ray discs for a couple weeks now but have no satisfactory results. I have been shooting in 1280x720p 29.97 in m2t format editing in premiere pro CS3 and exporting to mpeg 2 for Blu-Ray for authoring in Encore CS3. I’m using a Matrox Axio LE with Windows XP
The problem is that all the mpeg 2, Blu-ray video and audio files, that I have encoded from premiere have been different lengths when I bring them into encore. This occurred even when I have tried encoding them separately. Now I have been able to burn a couple Blu-ray discs but the audio starts in sync and slowly drifts out getting worse and worse as the video progresses.
I was able to get one that looked good and seemed to be synced throughout the video. It was encoded at 23.94. But the audio was still many frames shorter than the audio
Since we are shooting in 29.976 we are thinking about starting to shoot in 59.94 because that frame rate is a native resolution for Blu-ray at 720P. But I shot some footage today in 59.94 and exported it to mpeg 2 for Blu-ray and got the same issue all over again and I have no idea why. (I tried using both the Matrox encoder and the adobe encoder as well)
I brought it into a 1280 by 720p 59.94 project and the video and audio were synced on the timeline
Exported it at 1280x720p at 59.94 quality 5, widescreen, progressive 25mbps
Exported the audio separately at 48kHz 16 bit stereo PCM
Imported it into Encore CS3 using Blu-ray setting, NTSC, 1280×720, mpeg 2, audio PCM. Nothing needed to be transcoded and all files were compliant. What am I doing wrong? I can’t have video that’s out of sync and what’s worse is that I have a shoot this week and don’t know what frame rate to shoot in. Can anyone help? Does anyone use Encore to burn Blu-rays? -

I’m wondering what would happen if you put your audio on the Premiere timeline and exported video and audio in the same encoding pass instead of bringing them in seperately?

I tried that with a H.264 file and the audio appears to be in sync on the encore timeline. The audio and video are separate though and not mulitplexed in the same file. The audio and video are the same length in the project panel down to the frame although the audio is less than a frame longer than the video on the encore timeline which I find strange.
I was able to make an image and burn a disc but now there is no audio! I tried starting a new project with a dolby digital preset instead of PCM and transcoded the audio. I was able to make a disc image but when I tried to burn a disc I recieved another error which reads:
Blu-ray error;”” code: “0”, Note:”
I am becoming very well versed in all these errors but this is one I have not yet seen. -
Joe,
We are experiencing this exact problem now. After our export from AE CS3 and imported into Encore, we have longer video than audio.
How did you solve this problem?
