  • Possible to import Avid DNxHD into Encore

    Posted by Alfred Guzzetti on May 7, 2013 at 7:27 pm

    To make a Blu-ray, is it possible to import an Avid DNxHD 145 file with a QT wrapper into Encore 6? If it’s a short video, will Encore burn it onto a standard ruby-laser DVD?

    Everyone loves to skip the encoding step!

    You can import DNxHD into Adobe Media Encoder and encode for Blu-ray using the H.264 (MPEG-4) for Blu-ray preset. Then import the picture and sound encodes into Encore.

    Encore will transcode to MPEG-2 for DVD when you build the Blu-ray project.

    Many thanks.

    Is it possible to avoid the double-transcoding–first to H.264 and then to mpeg2?

    If you are also making a DVD, then encode an MPEG-2 file in AME for the DVD. You can use the same Dolby .ac3 for both the Blu-ray and DVD.
