Unfortunately no, there isn’t.

Sounds right, but I’m not sure about Blu-print. In Scenarist you select commands from a drop-down hierarchical list, like in SD.

Yea, setting page to itself always produces funky results – usually no button highlights at all. From my experience this has always been the case, though. Good luck and great to see an HDMV post on the Cow! I think you’re first.

Right on Eric! Glad to see you’re not wasting time with Blu-print. PSR2 is indeed the PG stream. I don’t know off hand what value stands for stream #1, but I’d guess it’s like with audio streams: 0 means stream 1, etc. I’d double-check with Sonic. Are you trying to get a read-back to enable a button?

Does it happen an all players or just a specific one? Try playing the disc on at least two hardware and two software players.
It sounds like the player is taking its time to switch the decoder to 4×3 from 16×9. DSP discs sometime hang because they’re jumping around to set and read registers before playing back video, but in your case it sounds like player related issue.

Thanks. I feel like I ran out of tests. Tried both 601 and RGB. RGB looks lifted even in the QT player.

It must not like the header. Try running your mpeg though ReStream. You can also try joining the mpegs within Scenarist by using the “multi-data asset” function.

Courtney,
Your head is too cluttered with terminology you don’t quite understand. You need to do more research – the information is all out there.
You’re right though, h.264 (or avc) is the newer, more efficient codec. You’re also right that it can be used on Blu-ray. DVDit however, only works with mpeg2 and will re-encode ANY other video file, even mpeg2s that were not created to BD spec. For you this means that you need to export your QT without compression. Since you’re on Avid, QT reference file is your best friend.

Netblender will only do BD-J. Even though it will have a GUI, I doubt anyone without Java experience will able to author with it out of the box.

Scenarist is a spec-level authoring tool, which means its discs react faster to user input, are not prone to application-based bugs and have higher compatibility ratios. Optibase is not an authoring system, it’s a hardware encoder.
We have both Scenarist and the Optibase Moviemaker for SD work and we also author spec-level Blu-ray discs with Scenarist HDMV (as high end a tool as it gets).
If you want to talk about your project, you can email me at max(at)area4.tv, or call the number on our site.
