I just upgraded to CS5.5 to CS6. I have never had this problem before. I keep trying to burn a Bluray using Encore CS6, however, i keep getting this maessage after the program tries to burn the Disc: "Bluray Error: "device error", Code: "3", Note "CreateStcSequence:Fail to write M2S file""
Encore will burn the 8.22gb of 8.49gb to disc and then display the aove message. I keep burning coasters, Grrr! How can I resolve this? Thank you.
This error is generally related to the burning media.
1. Save your project.
2. Quit Encore.
3. Clear any session files present in the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder. (This folder, if present, will be in your project folder. Go into the folder and delete all the files there. But again if burning failed before completion, this folder might not be present.)
4. Then re-launch Encore, open the project and burn the project again.
This error might be caused by the faulty blu-ray burner OR faulty BD. Try changing the disc and burn again. (PLEASE USE BD-RE Media to avoid wastage of discs)
Thanks for the reply. I can not locate the AuthorScripts.... folder for this project. I can locate it for every other project I've burned using CS5.5, but not this project? Weird.
You don't need to worry about this folder. I was just highlighting one possible reason. But again if your burning did not complete, this folder will not be present there. There is some change in this in CS6.
I do not think it is the BD-R disc; I have been using the same discfor over a year now and they always worked with CS5.5. I tiried creating a new project in Encore with the Bluray settings and Istill get the same error message and problem.
Also, sometimes there are the cases where Encore can not write to a particular segment of the disc. That is why I was suggesting you to change the disc.
Funny thing. I just burned the project in CS5.5 with NO PROBLEMS? Why would 5.5 work but not 6? This is very strange. I used all the exact same settings, hardware, and discs.
Encore uses third party code to burn to Blu-ray which keeps on updating time to time. This error is seen in CS6 only with no consistent steps but I have already mentioned the workarounds. The error is generally because Encore is not able to get access to something related to burn process. Most of the times it is the disc or the burner but sometimes there are some session files whose timestamps might get changed before writing to disc starts. Could you provide me the details of the project as to what is there in the project and what you did through the burning process?
Did you by any chance cancel the burning process in between and then tried again?
I did not cancel the burn process while it was burning. I edited my video in Premiere Pro CS6 and dynamically linked it to Encore. Like i have done a hundred times before in 5.5, I created my menus and buttons etc. and burned a DVD. I then set the project to Bluray and tried to burn a Bluray. Encore transcoded all my menus and timelines and began the burn process. The project was 8.49 gbs. Once the burn process reached 8.22 gbs encore stoped and gve me the message I wrote in my first post. I tried to create the project from sctrach using only bluray settings and I got the same results each time.
The only work around I have right now is to continue using Encore 5.5. I have not encountered any problems with 5.5, only 6.
If you need more information just let me know. Thank you for taking the time to investigate this and help me find a solution.
This issue is still not resolved. I haven't seen a single real solution offered. All i have read so far is blaming hardware.
No matter what I do I can not burn to BluRay. I can't even use my previous work around with Encore CS5.5 anymore because audio will not sync up in En5.5 but it will sync up in En6 but it will not burn a disc, just coasters.
I have been on numerous forums and chat boards and more than 75% of the people I talk to say they have "never" been able to burn disc directly from Encore. This is absolutely pathetic. I am tired of being fed the line that it's my disc or my burning hardware. My patients has run out. I switched to adobe from another company's NLE platform because I was under the impression Adobe was professional and offered thier customers a better product and experience; I haven't been convinced yet.
A very frustrating problem. I have not even tested the burn in CS6, since I have not used Encore to burn disks since the first version I had (CS3). I use imgburn.
Ramesh at post 10 seems to indicate that they are aware of a problem, and that workarounds help in some cases. If you have not, file a bug report. If I were you, I would use alternate burning software.
I had the same problem and filed a bug report. Then, I changed my blu-ray burner (12x, built-in) in my new system to the old burner - 8x, retail (both LG's) from the old PC. Suddenly, I am able to burn Blu-ray disc.

same here.
most of us on here who have used encore for several years just burn with an image burning software. imgburn is fantastic, and gives you more control of the process than encore. you may say "i don't want a workaround." but i don't see that as a workaround. i author the disc in encore, burn it in img burn.
I'm having the same problem. Can burn from cs5.5 but not from 6. Can someone tell me what alternate software is good for Mac and how I export the file(s?) from Encore? I am completely new to this. I tried saving the file as an Bluray image and also as a bluray folder. Both times my bluray player sees the disc as a data disc. What am I doing wrong?
