Bluray 'legal' h264

Question

Thanks for posting this. I'm on a mac, editing in FCP and authoring blurays in encore ( the only option for bluray authoring on a mac ). Compressor for mac exports legal blurays for encore but quality is average. Adobe media encoder quality is worse. Handbbrake does better quality but encore will NOT recognize any of the encodes, no matter what preferences I set, without wanting to transcode them again. I've examined hardware encoders and the buzz on the discussions is similar, encore wants to transcode hardware h264s. Does anyone have any idea what exactly encore is rejecting in hardware h264s and handbrake h264s

Thanks for reporting.Keep in mind that what Encore likes best are demuxed files (m4v and audio). Encore must demux a muxed file before building the combined files that follow the DVD/BD specs. That probably doesn't help your delimma.As an update Stan, I salvaged a 'legacy' product from ebay, Matrox Mini Max, a hardware h264 encoder. It connects seamlessly with compressor, encodes h264s at almost realtime with it's own Matrox presets and is indistinguishable from the best compressor can do. And it slips into encore without transcoding . happy days. So all the trawling was worth it. This little beauty is cutting my encoding workflow by about 80%

I remember this being asked, but I don't recall any good answer. If you can post a small file, I'll look at it.
