blue ray burn

[John Rofrano]

Yes, you should render the sound separately as Dolby Digital AC3. DVD Architect will make an ISO image of the Blu-ray disc which can be burned multiple times.

If I am burning directly to dual layer bd disc from timeline do I need to do anything regarding architect?

how about settings?

I think you mentioned to me once that you use a media player. May be the way to go.
How would I manipulate the file render to be able to transfer to an external hard drive to then use with a media player

[John Rofrano]

If you are burning a Blu-ray disc from the timeline you don’t need DVD Architect. Vegas Pro will make a Blu-ray disc image without menus. It’s does produce an .iso image that can be burned multiple times by almost any burning program. If you want to use the footage with a media player then you would render to a file format like AVCHD and not a disc image.

sorry for the ??? but don’t want all this work to fall into a black hole with wrong settings.

I want to burn 3.25 hours of edited hd video taken with the hdr-hc9 from movie studio 9 time line to a dual layer blue ray disc.

Just to make sure would I use the mpeg2, blue 1440×1080-60i template to render?
How do I render audio to ac3 in the process?

Do you see any issue with dual layer disc here?

thanks

I don’t have Movie Studio but in Vegas Pro it gives you the ability to select both the video and audio templates to use. I would use the HDV 1440×1080-60i with the HC9. I have never used dual layer Blu-ray but it should hold up to 4 hrs of 25Mbps HDV video so you should be fine with 3.25hrs.

I apologize if this is a hijacking of you thread! I was wondering as well about settings for blu-ray burn. My project was done in 1280X720P, but there is no such option in the blu-ray presets… What should I do?

Actually it is for your benefit that you create a new thread with an appropriate title so that more people see it.

I only work in 1080i so I have no experience making 720p Blu-ray discs. DVD Architect has 720p project settings so I assume it can make 720p discs. You could try using one of the existing Blu-ray templates in Vegas Pro and change the resolution to 1280×720 progressive and see if that works.

I am a little confused, will movie studio timeline burn also leave a .iso file or TS or something that I can then use to burn with say Nero
if I need multiple copies or does vegas ask me if I want to burn another copy?

[John Rofrano]

I don’t use Movie Studio (I use Vegas Pro) but I believe that it leaves the .iso file so that you can come back and burn it as many times as you’d like with whatever program you’d like.
