Responding to my previous post:

I have converted AVCHD to mpeg2 for blu-ray, and premiere runs much more smoothly.

I’m currently waiting for a test disc to render to see the quality.

You could try encoding the problem video in the Projects panel before building the disc.

I know that fixed a disc I was working on in my CS3 days.

If it doesn’t encode this way, you may have a problem with the video file itself.

Hope that helps,

Hi Joe,

I do use Encore to create everything in the DVD, but I choose to burn an ISO instead of a disc. Then using that ISO, I use ImgBurn to burn my final disc.

I haven’t come across different video and audio streams before.

Are you trying to edit AVCHD?

I’ve found that CS4 has trouble with AVCHD and my system struggles.

I’ve heard, but haven’t tried, taking the footage into Adobe Media Encoder and changing to mpeg2.

Might help.

Hi David,

I’ve run across this as well. From what I hear, AVCHD is an HD format, but it’s still compressed and pretty resource intensive.

I’m on XP Pro w/ 3GB RAM AMD Athon 64 x2 2.81GHz by the way.

I talked to some experts at the Broadcast VideoExpo last week in London and some of them told me to bring the footage into Adobe Media Encoder and render it to MPEG2 and then take it into Premiere. I haven’t tried it, but it is worth a shot.

I have the luxury of upgrading to a proper digital editing suite from scan.co.uk, but if upgrading isn’t in the cards, that may help.

Cheers,
Clint

CS4 is definately better at burning Blu-Ray’s than CS3 was… for me at least.

I still don’t use CS4 to burn my disc, I export a Blu-Ray Image and then burn that using ImgBurn.

Hope that helps,

Hi Ed,

Right now I’m running XP Pro SP3 w/ 3 GB of RAM.
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 5600+ 2.81 GHz
NVidia GeForce 8400 GS

I would say that it runs CS4 fairly well. There’s a bit of lag in AE and Photoshop. When working on DVD projects in Premiere, it does a pretty good job, but I’ve just found out that it can’t handle HD footage what so ever.

I’m looking to upgrade my video card to hopefully the Open GL NVidia cards that support CS4 and I think I also have to figure out how to set up a RAID system because I read that it’s almost impossible to edit HD footage without it. Ultimately, an upgrade a 64 bit OS is in the works too so I can just load up on RAM.

Have you or anyone else found any good products?

Thanks,
Clint

CS3 was crashing on me everytime I selected Blu-Ray from the Format drop-down box where you choose DVD, Blu-Ray or Flash.

I found out that it was my Blu-Ray player causing this. I believe it was a Pioneer BDR-101a. What is your drive?

I’ve since upgraded to a Pioneer BDR-202 and the error is gone and I’ve been able to burn Blu-Ray discs in CS3 and now in CS4.

Although I choose to burn an BD-R image and then burn the image using IMG Burn.

Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,

I’ve sorted it!

In my HTML, I added value=”1″ as one of the checkbox’s properties, and then added the if statement that Abraham suggested, and after a bit of fine-tuning, it seems to be working correctly.

Many thanks guys, I usually spend my time in the Flash forum, but it’s good to see that the Cow is well oiled all the way around.
