Hi Bob,
From Vegas, Export to the “H.264 for Blu-ray” format, should result in .m4v and .wav audio files that you can then Import into Encore. Add your chapter markers, and create menus. Burn the Blu-ray disc.
Encore will allow you to switch the project format – just change to DVD and you can use the same project with chapters/menus intact. The Blu-ray files will be transcoded to DVD.
I’ve not done a Flash output, but you ought to be able to do that as well from the same original Blu-ray project. Maybe you want to use “Save as” from the Blu-ray job to create copies to work with for DVD and Flash output.

Martin,
Let’s go to the beginning please. I need to ask WHY are you turning on multi-plexing in the Adobe Media Encoder? I guess I am not understanding the intention of your workflow. The normal workflow is to export the .mv4 and .wav files from AME, and Encore then does the Dolby AC3 conversion there (very quickly). My understanding of Encore is that for DVD or Blu-ray encoding, if the source file is muxed, Encore will need to first Demux before creating the output, so you are adding encode time and possible quality loss to the workflow.
Please explain WHAT IS THE PROBLEM that you require assistance with? I think that perhaps some users create problems that aren’t there by “doing their own thing” outside of recommended procedures.
Thanks

Martin,
if you export using “H.264 for Blu-ray” preset, you will get an .m4v file – where do you come up with .m2t?

Hi Martin,
Why are you exporting to that format if making a Blu-ray? Use either the “H.264 for Blu-ray” or “MPEG-2 for Blu-ray” presets to create compatible files that do not need to transcode. Also, the 40mbps setting is the high end, video will look great at much lower rates like 25 for instance, pushing limits of compatibility at 40 setting.

Hi Sagar,
Do you have a separate hard drive for the video? Using the C: drive will hurt performance. The GTX 560 is not officially supported by Adobe for adding the Mercury Engine GPU-acceleration. There is a way to enable this card here: https://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm
You don’t really need to read and digest all of the information – go to lower left of 2nd page of info and there is an .exe file that you can run that will enable the card and this will really help performance by using the GTX 560 hardware to speed up Premiere.

Just use the FILL LEFT or FILL RIGHT audio effect, dropped directly onto clip on timeline. If you need to switch back and forth between left and right channels, put razor cuts at those points and apply appropriate fill effect to each part of audio clip, use quick audio crossfade between to eliminate any audio jump.

Hi Victor,
The problem is very simple – the Lens Distortion filter renders extraordinarily slow, even on my Core i7 hex-core X79 with Quadro 4000 and 24GB RAM!! Looks like you are on a laptop, so 5 hours seems quite reasonable.

Hi George,
As Premiere pro CS5.5 is very flexible with mixed formats on the timeline, I see no issue. I would of course set the Sequence to the higher-quality of the two formats, at 1920×1080. Premiere will respect the pixel aspect ratio of the 1440 material and it will blend right in.
On our demo systems, I mix all kinds of footage together – XDCAM EX, HDV, ProRes 422, AVCHD, DSLR, even RED 2K and 4K clips!!

Hi Alan,
Any export for computer playback should be PROGRESSIVE, no fields, that is likely the issue you are seeing.

Hi Davib,
From the Decklink User Guide online – “The New Sequence window will appear. Select the desired Blackmagic preset, give the sequence
a name and then click OK.”If you are looking at the Sequence Presets in Premiere and see no folder that says Black Magic, then perhaps the install is not complete. Please go through the user guide and check the setup again.
