CS4 Encore h264 Retranscoding?
Hi there,
after 6 months experimenting with my new SONY Handycam which delievers AVCHD videos, I finally cut the project with Final Cut (including 5.1. surround) and worked myself through the Encore Handbook (because DVD Studio Pro can’t handle Blu-Ray authoring). Finally I bought myself a Blu-Ray Burner and did some more or less sucessful tests.
Damn, it’s hard to be a early mover and NOT doing authoring as a profession 🙂Long talk, short sense:
I send my 85 min. cut from Final Cut (imported as Apple ProRes444 interlaced (upper halfframe) to Compressor using the following adjustments:Quicktime h.264
1920 x 1080i (upper halfframe)
Best qualityI thought Encore will not transcode that file (as it doesn’t do with MPEG2s or Ac3s), but it does.
Is there something wrong with my presets? What should I adjust to

hi götz,
quicktime h264 is h264 in a quikcitme-wrapper to play it back in quicktime, but it has nothing to do with BD-complient streams.BD-streams are elementary streams not streams with audio and video in one file.
you can encode the required files using compressor 3.5 that comes with FCP7. it has a specific BD-setup, but I would advice to use adobe media encoder that comes with CS4, because it´s creating a better output. it´s using the mainconcept-engine that is very good.
cheers
