Activity Forums Compression Techniques Pre-encoded assets and Compressor Job Actions

    Hi Guys-
    Just a quick question that I can’t quite figure out:

    The scenario: Compressor has created your BluRay disc (using the Create BluRay job action) and has encoded the AV perfectly, but you see an error in the Compressor built Menu; spelling mistake, wrong BG image etc.
    Is there any way to use your prefect pre-encoded AV streams and just use Compressor to create the new Menus and burn to BD-R? Using the job action, doesn’t leave you with any saved AV streams to re-use. I’ve tried importing the AV streams back into Compressor from a previously created elementary stream but Compressor is having none of it!
    All I can seem to do is to start from the original QT master and endure another 6 hour encode just to fix a problem with the menu, which ultimately has nothing to do with the encoding of the AV master.

    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,

    Simon

    – I forgot to mention that I am using FCS 3 and Compressor 3.5.1. Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on an 8core Intel Mac with an external Lacie BluRay Burner.

    I’m curious whether you ever found an answer to your question. I find myself in the same predicament (except that the encode is taking 8 hours).

    Thanks
