Can you write a blu ray iso file without the error? If so you can use a program such as Cyberlink’s Power2Go to burn the iso image. – Bill

Jonas _ Did you try the fix here: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=993c0bcf-3bcf-4009-be21-27e85e1857b1&displaylang=en There was another fix that replaced a bad file in Window system but I can’t remember it. Have you tried writing to an ISO file instaed of burning the BluRay directly? If that works try burning from the iso file. CS4 EN works as I made many Blu Ray disks with it. You just need the right fix! – Bill

Jonas – I have since migrated to CS5 and do not have that problem. I believe that I got it to work by opening EN CS4 as an administrator instead of a regular user. Right click instead of double click and choose Run as Administrator. – Bill

I submitted an Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 tech support request but all they was refer me to the Sony written work flow document that appears to be identical to that provided with the camera. There is a similar thread on the Adobe PPRO forum: https://forums.adobe.com/message/2610318#2610318

My suggestion is to submit a Adobe tech support request yourself. Go here to sign in or register: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/support/index.cfm?event=membership&returnURL=%2Fcfusion%2Fsupport%2Findex%2Ecfm%3Fevent%3Dportal%26loc%3Den%5Fus&loc=en_us

Brian – I used the Sony workflow for Ppro CS4 but it still does not recover usable audio. The Sony CMF utility plays the audio fine. It says the clip has 48k Stereo audio. None of the audio settings in PPro work. Itried Log and Transfer in FCP7. The audio plays but FCP does not have the right codec to convert the AVCHD video to QuickTime. Something is missing somewhere. Hopefully Sony tech support people read this! – Bill

Michael –

I am also experiencing a similar error when trying to use Encore CS4 to produce a 1080p Blu Ray image or disk using Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell 690 Workstation with dual Xeon 3 GHz procewssors and 20 GB of RAM.

I am trying to produce a three hour 1080p 29.97 program set up with Premiere Pro CS4 on the same machine. After making a few edits to change the rolling end credits, Encore stops with Blu-ray Error: “fatal error”, Code:”6″, Note:”

This error appears during the “Initializing Burn Engine with the progress bar about 15%, Writing: Disk 1 of 1, Data Written: 0.00 kb of 14.84 GB, Time Remaining: 1 min 26 sec. This is shortly after the transcoding is completed and about 15 seconds into the burn engine process. It occure with both writing to a Blu Ray disk or writing the Blu Ray image.

I have tried this several times after carefully checking the parameters in both P Pro and Encore. Right now I exporting via AME a 1080i 29.97 MPEG 2 Blu Ray file before using it in Encore CS4 to make a 1080i disk. Anyone have any other comments or suggestions?

Thanks again Theo!

After playing with the Input and Output controls, I found the key to using Levels is the Histogram display. Then the Input “Start” control acts on the shadow side like the black arrow on a Photoshop Levels histogram. The Input “End” control acts like the White arrow and the Gamma control acts like the gray arrow. Then the Output “Start” is like the black arrow on the bottom of a Photoshop histogram to move the shadow detail away from black while Output “End” moves highlight detail away from white.

Maybe Sony did not copy the Photoshop Levels layout to avoid violating a copyright? Now I will see if I can get the Curves tool to generate a “power” curve to convert the linear gamma to 2.2.

Thanks for the quick reply Theo. That give me a little more infomation. I have a similar problem: to bring detail out of the deep shadow area. Do you know why there are two Input (Start and End) and two Output (Start and End) variables? Is that to change the adjustments over a time span?
