HD Footage in Blu-Ray format on a normal DVD Disc
Hi Guys,
I think my last post got rejected as I wasn’t using a screen name!
I want to send out an HD preview to clients along with their SD DVD’s and I can render and burn the work area in premiere fine.
If I click ‘Export->Adobe Encore’ I can select the Blu-Ray as the export option but do I need a Blu-Ray disc in the drive to burn it as it seems to not let me do it without one, and presumably it is just the data on a disc type as I cant afford $16 per disc on a speculative HD purchase..I can afford 50c for a DVD and a short watermarked render..!!
Many thanks..Jon

I suggest using Windows Media on a data DVD for such things. You may want to check with your clients as to the size/resolution of their PC monitors. Exporting to 1920X1080 is often a waste of bandwidth when 1280X720 is all the more their monitors can handle. For example, I run two monitors at 1280X1024 each, so a 1280 video makes the most sense. And you get better quality at the same data rate due to the smaller frame.
Or, maybe use Flash or Quicktime. In anycase, unless your clients have a Blu-Ray DVD player, what is the point in using a Blu-Ray compatible format?

Hey Steven,
Many thanks. It is actually going to be played on DVD/Blu-Ray players on TV’s rather than in Computers..
I saw somewhere that Sony actually put 12mins of Blu-Ray stuff on a DVD-R at a conference..
I just wasn’t sure if it was possible for us to do in Premiere/Encore as I would only need to put say 5 minutes on there?
Many thanks. Jon

Use Encore to create a Blu-Ray disk but output it to folders(you will end up with 2 folders). Then use Nero 8 and burn the DVD with UDF format and set the file system to manual and UDF 2.5. Works great.

Perfect. Many thanks. I have only got version 6, but I assume you can simply write the folders without ‘UDF’ selected and it will be read the same?
Many thanks again. Jon

It has to be UDF 2.5 or else it will not work. Hopefully version 6 will do that for you.
