    Posted by Daniel Goyette on July 16, 2014 at 11:39 am

    TEST 1

    Apple OS X 10.9.4 Build 13E28 – Compressor 4.1.2 – Files used is QuickTime 1920X1080i Prores.
    The Blu-ray creation work but if you re-insert the BD-RE disc (Verbatim) the disc refuse to eject.
    You need to shtdown the computer to get the disc to eject because the finder ger unresponsive.
    The MACGO Blu-ray player refuse to play the disc but the disc play in regular Blu-ray players.
    The burner used is LG BD-RE WH.16NS40 and everything is clean install two week ago.

    TEST 2

    Apple OS X 10.9.4 Build 13E28 – Toast Titanium 11.2 – Files used is QuickTime 1920X1080i Prores.
    The Blu-ray creation work perfectly with the BD-RE disc (Verbatim) reinsert and the disc eject perfectly.
    The MACGO Blu-ray player play the Blu-ray disc perfectly and also any home regular Blu-ray player.
    The burner used is LG BD-RE WH.16NS40 and everything is clean install two week ago.

    Conclusion : Since Toast Titanium 11.2 with OS X 10.9.4 work Apple Compressor 4.1.2 is the bug.
    The disc created with Compressor have make Apple disck utility crash when try eject.

    [Daniel Goyette] “Conclusion : Since Toast Titanium 11.2 with OS X 10.9.4 work Apple Compressor 4.1.2 is the bug.”

    I don’t agree with these conclusions. If the disc plays fine in your set-top Blu-ray player, then what is the problem exactly? Have you tried to do this process more than once?

    You may not agree but there a long thread of a least 9 pages about Blu-ray creation problems since FCP X 10.1.2 and Compressor 4.1.2 so even if not everybody get the problem many have the bug.

    Also Apple Compressor Team have contact me by e-mail asking to do test and report back and this post his about some finding and believe me i have redo the test using Compressor 4.1.2 and Toast Titanium 11.2.

    If i create a Blu-ray using Compressor the disc will refuse to eject after the burning process sometimes this never happen using Toast Titanium ,MACGO Blu-ray player software will refuse to play the Compressor disc.

    The fact both Compressor and Toast Titanium created Blu-ray discs been able to play dont solve the fact
    it can crash a NLE , some have found the Create Disc Function is probably the causes with Compressor.

    What does Compressour output? A BDMV folder or a disc image?

  • Daniel Goyette

    If you create a physical Blu-ray disc your got a BDMV folder plus a Certificate folder on the disc.
    I have never create a disc image but some creators do so it is for them to answer your question.

    I will try to be clear this time but remember like a musician who play i only want to create Blu-ray.

    1-import 1920 x 1080i Prores 4:2:2 Video file who include the Audio from XDCAM HD Timeline.
    2-select Apple Blu-ray with job action to create a Blu-ray disc (H264 for Video , AC3 for Audio).
    3-The Blu-ray is created ….. Normally if i say do nothing in Job Action the above files will be created.

    My workflow is use only one software to create the Blu-ray so i never ask do nothing for job action.

    If i use the Toast Titanium to create the Blu-ray since as i said only use one software :

    1-import 1920 x 1080i Prores 4:2:2 Video file who include the Audio from XDCAM HD Timeline.
    2-select Blu-ray in Toast Titanium to create a Blu-ray disc (H264 for Video , AC3 for Audio).
    3-The Blu-ray is created ….. i never tell Toast to not create the physical Blu-ray disc never.

    In all case i never create a disc image and use the tested physical disc as the master to create copies.
    I can’t help you more to help me since the inner working of Blu-ray creation is not what i want to know.
    If that help you great if not maybe someone else can join the discussion i am like the musician above.

    [Daniel Goyette] “If that help you great if not maybe someone else can join the discussion i am like the musician above.”

    If I am reading right, then you are simply importing a ProRes file into Toast to make a Blu-ray? If this is true, then Compressor cannot possibly be doing anything to it that would make it impossible to correctly close out the disc when it is finished burning.

    I simply import a Prores file either in Compressor or Toast the difference ; Toast do the Blu-ray Including compression and burning without problem but Compressor do the compression very well but at the end the burning trigger problem including Apple Disk Utility crash and MACGO Blu-ray Player Software cant play the disc ….. and let me tell you this software play anything including Hollywood Blockbusters and a legal player software, to conclude Apple Compressor Team have contact me by phone on tuesday and i have send to them the files requested and are aware there is a problem and working on it to fix-it.
