ENCODING for blu ray (not authoring)
OK. I’m super bummed. Looks like Apple is not going to be announcing blu ray support at NAB this year (since it’s already tues. and nothing has been announced). I’m pissed. I have a ton of clients expecting their projects on BD-R and I can’t deliver them. EXCEPT… I do have Adobe Encore. Never used it before but I’m sure i can figure it out. My question is… what the heck do i use to encode? In the FCP suite you use compressor to encode so I’m wondering if there’s a way to do it through the adobe suite (I have the CS3 Production Suite) or do I need to buy yet another application? Thanks for any help! 🙂

you can export from Premiere Pro or import a QT into Encore and transcode it within the program.
i believe both routes use the same transcode engine.
Compressor allows you to encode Mpeg2 for Blu-Ray, but I have not tried this.
The H.264 transcodes from Encore have been pretty good so far.be aware that the preview in Encore is LAME.
burn a BD-RE to test final picture on a HD monitor.I have been using Encore for about 2 weeks now… and as a long time DVDSP user, I find it a bit un-intuitive…. but workable.
good luck with your project.

Also note that both Premiere and Encore CS3 are capable of encoding to H.264 for Blu-ray or MPEG-2 for Blu-ray.
Which app you choose to encode in is up to you.
