Encore CS5 Blu-ray problem (it's burning a data blu-ray instead of a standard movie blu-ray)

I've tried twice now to burn a dual layer Philips BD-R as a standard movie Blu-ray that will play in a Blu-ray player, but it has burned as a data Blu-ray both times. This is the first time this has happened. I film weddings and have made Blu-ray movies for the couples, and I've also made some stunt Blu-ray movies. For this project, I've made a motion menu in After Effects and used Dynamic Link to import it into Encore as with the Premiere Pro sequence which I usuallly do as with the wedding and stunt Blu-rays I've made in the past. I just don't know why Encore is burning a data Blu-ray instead of a standard movie Blu-ray now? Don't know if it's my burner, the brand of BD-R, the way I'm importing into Encore, or what? My player still plays the stunt Blu-rays, and they were burnt on a dual layer Verbatim BD-R. Any incite would be helpful. Thanks. - Dustin

DVD's used to be DVD-R ( recordable )

or DVD-RW ( re-recordable ) so you can erase and record NEW stuff on it.

NOT ALL PLAYERS CAN READ DVD-R AND DVD-RW....but most computer disc drives can.

FOR BD the same holds true but with different designation....

BD-R is recordable

BD-RE is re-recordable....same thing but different letters.

Difference is that DVD is basically old TV broadcast standard definition and BD is high definition.

Anyway, what I do is test a 'movie' burn on the re-recordable discs so I don't waste them if something goes wrong. You can't re-use a disc that failed to record correctly...it's trash.

Secondly, Encore was never good at burning actual discs but would work fine by exporting an ISO (image file ) and using something like IMAGEBURN to burn the actual disc into a movie.

Third, Verbatim always had the best reputation for having good disc surfaces that burned well and kept a long life afterwards ( due to oxidation etc. some discs become non functional over time ).

Use something like file explorer to see if there is really anything on your disc....anything at all...you can figure out how to do that by searching for help on HOW TO READ FILES ON DRIVES.

good luck

Sorry I am so late to the party on this one - been away on other stuff and only noticed this thanks to a message from Stan (thanks, chap).

For the OP - how exactly - step by step, if it do ya - did you burn the disc that turned out to be a data disc?

Hi Neil. I'm the one that tried to burn a Blu-ray movie, and it came out to be a data BD. Pretty much after testing and messing around with things in Encore. The problem I'm having is the main menu as a motion menu. When you click on the "Chapters" button in that menu, a 4 second transition video is supposed to play which slides the entire main menu from left to right into the first chapters page. When I have the motion video and audio linked to the main menu, render it, and try to click "Chapters" in the preview window, it doesn't work right. It just starts the motion video in the menu over to the beginning and plays without audio for the duration of the 4 second transition video that's supposed to be playing, and then just jumps to the first chapters page. It works fine when the motion menu isn't rendered, when it's just a still image with the audio. Here's a link to another post that I posted yesterday. It's more current of where I'm at with the project.

You kind of have to scroll down a ways. The top is this thread that I put in it so that I didn't have to retype it all.

Have you tried exporting a bluray folder and using Imgburn to make the disc?

No, I haven't tried to export a folder. I did try to export an image file, but it said it was too large for the destination. But I have 400GB of free space on my computer. Don't know how large Blu-ray image files are though. And I don't know what Imgburn is?

Thanks you, Stan. The guide on Imgburn.com helped. However, there is still a problem, but I'm getting close. So the Blu-ray folder created successfully. Then I used Imgburn to burn it. It burnt just fine, but when it was verifying it, I got an error message. Something about an unreadable format, along those lines. So I put it in my Blu-ray player, and it reads it as a Blu-ray movie. So that worked. But the main menu is messed up. It's a motion menu that I made in After Effects that I imported into Encore using Dynamic Link. So it's an unrendered AE composition. It's basically just a still image with a 3 minute video playing in the background. I want the video to play with its sound in the menu. The issue I run into is having the video actaully play in the menu since I could only export one frame as a Photohop layers and then import it into Encore as a menu. It's just a still frame of the video. I found a tutorial on YouTube that said to hide all the layers of the menu in Encore, that way when I link the motion video and audio to the menu, it would show the motion menu layered underneath the buttons. Basically without the motion menu and the layers hidden, it's just a black screen with the highlighted buttons. And that's how it burnt the Blu-ray main menu (black screen with hightlighted buttons). There is the audio though, just not the video. I noticed though when I would close the project in Encore, then reopen it later, and try to preview the project, it would show just the black screen for the main menu. Then if I would mess with it and deselect and reselect the layers of the menu and go preview it again, then it would show the motion menu in the preview. So somethng is wrong in the program to not render the motion menu correctly. The video in the motion menu is a rendered MPEG2 standard SD NTSC file that I imported into After Effects. I was thinking maybe that has something to do with it. Or should I just try to render the entire motion menu out as an H.264 MP4 file or something else, and then link it to the menu in Encore (instead of using Dynamic Link)? I've attached a picture on the main motion menu so you can see what I'm talking about. The video that I want to play is in the upper right part of the frame. Thanks.

Dustin,

Congrats on the success so far!

It is tempting to get the AE menu to work, but I think I would just go to a regular Encore or Photoshop menu and export the motion background ONLY from AE as a file. If the file comes in to Encore as Untrnascoded, just let Encore transcode it.

Do a Save As to create a test project. I would start with an Encore Library menu with video background only - I used the Crib Menu HD for testing. Set that menu as first play. Preview. You'll need to render the menu. If that works, replace the Baby Room...m2v background with your export from AE.

See if you can get that to work. Then add the background audio as a separate file.
