Blu-ray burning software search

Hey all, don't know if I'm in the best place for this post, but figured since it's about an exported project from Premiere Pro this would be as good a place as any, I guess.

I've exported my short film project and all of that works perfectly fine, I'm wondering about 'after'.

Just bought a Blu-Ray disc burner so I could put the short film on blu-ray disc for each person that worked on the film, but as hard as I've looked within Premiere Pro and Media Encoder I can't seem to find any Blu-Ray disc, or DVD disc burning software connected to the Creative Cloud. I was going to do a straight up Google search for suggestions on what software I should use, but I've found that fairly ad heavy (even AFTER the prescribed 'AD' section in the beginning) in the past. So after some thinking I figured where better to go then a message board for the editing software I used to make the film in the first place!

So, any suggestions on blu-ray disc burning software?

 

Thanks,

-Me

4K Blu-ray gets mentioned in FCPX forums, Edius Forums, Avid Forums, Premiere Pro forums etc. There is a need for DVD/Blu-ray creaton. Adobe needs a DVD/Blu-ray creation program. We don't need it to be as complex as Encore. If it integrated with Premiere Pro but also worked as a stand alone product for FCPX. Avid etc Adobe could make money.

Aw that’s a bummer. I got to the party a little late, 2016 I think, and I don’t think Encore was in the mix anymore at that time.

I used this for a few years some time back, it was fantastic and free:

I'm not sure if it still does allow you to create video DVDs/BDs, probably does.

Adobe used to have Encore which shipped with Premiere and we were using it for creating DVDs/BDs but Adobe discontinued Encore with a release of Creative Cloud.

If you still have access to Premiere CS6, you'll have Encore CS6. Otherwise, you need to look for other software to create DVDs/BDs.

Does access to Photoshop CS6 also give access to Encore CS6?

 

I have a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6.  For years I used Premiere CC, Encore CS6 and Photoshop CS6 to generate blu-ray DVD’s.

 

I had not worked on a video for about a year.  Now when I try to launch Encore CS6 a prompt from Adobe appears asking for a serial number for Premiere Pro, preventing Encore CS6 from launching - see attachment.

 

Photoshop CS6 launches without a problem.

 

I don’t think I ever used Premiere Pro CS6.  I went from Premiere Elements to Premiere Pro CC.

 

The prompt does not accept the Photoshop CS6 serial number.

 

I thought Encore CS6 was bundled with Photoshop CS6.  Why is this prompt preventing Encore CS6 from launching?

 

Thanks  Joe

No, Photoshop do not give, or gave, access to Encore. Encore came bundled with Premiere Pro CSx, Production Premium CSx, Master Collection CSx, Premiere Pro CC and CC all app plan.

 

So you must have installed Encore CS6 by installing Premiere Pro CS6 when it was available in CC.

 

To make Encore run you must have a serial number for one of the products mentioned abowe, and in your case the CS6 version. Since your version is installed by using the CC app, using the Premiere Pro CS6 installer, the best bet would be to get a serial number for Premiere Pro CS6 to avoid to reinstall it.

 

Maybe it´s worth cecking out TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7 - The Ultimate DVD / Blu-ray / AVCHD Authoring Tool - Pegasys Inc. (pegasys-inc.com) It´s not as complex as Encore but it´s great. There is a 30-day trial version available with no limitations. I use it myself and in 9 out of 10 times it is better than Encore.

No more Adobe software for burning dvd or bluray.

I like this one: TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 - The Ultimate DVD / Blu-ray / AVCHD Authoring Tool - Pegasys Inc.

I have created a video in Premiere Pro CC and am attempting to burn a blu-ray DVD.  From Pr CC I exported .m4v and .wav files.  An Adobe prompt is preventing me launching Encore CS6.  In desperation from Imgburn from the .m4v and .wav files I burned an .iso file to a blu-ray disc, which of course doesn’t work. I know I have forgotten the big picture here.  What did the Encore step do to make the .iso file playable as a DVD?

@josephc66141161 

Did you burn the BD-Video data (the Blu-Ray) to DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, or BD-R?

How confident are you that the player you are using can do the following:

  • Read the type of media that you burned to.
  • Supports reading the BD-Video data structure on that media.
