Question

Premiere Pro to Bluray Player

  • January 9, 2020

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone on this forum will be willing to share some knowledge with me.  I need to produce a handful of bluray disks that will play in a home bluray player. My goal is to utilize some sort of markers that will enable the viewer to jump from point to point by pressing the next/previous buttons on the remote. I've performed some research but have come up nearly empty.  I've placed some 'chapter markers' on the timeline and chose to include metadata when exporting.  I have exported the footage from Premiere Pro 2020 with the 'H.264 Blue-ray' format settings, resulting in the following five files: (#1) template_test.m4v (#2) template_test.m4v.xmp (#3) template_test.m4v.xmpses (#4) template_test.m4v.xmpses.xmp (#5) template_test.wav

I need help from this point.  I installed an LG 16x bluray writer today, but have not invested in any burning software at this point.  I would like the burning process to be as simply as possible, since I have a bunch of disks to burn.  Will one of you kind people recommend an effective software and share how I can produce a bluray disk that will play in a bluray player?

Thank you in advance for you help.

Brett

Of the 5 files you created you only need the 1st and last one.

Dont delete the others until disk is made.

Hi Ann,

The only files either DVD Architect or DVDfab DVD-Creator would allow me to import were those two files. I have the feeling the others were 'marker-related'.  I burnt them to Blu-ray with both of the aforementioned programs and (like I said earlier), neither disk was recognized by my player.

Are you sure you made a video disk and not a data disk.

Load disk in computer and open in Window Explorer: what folders do you see (post screenshot).

Just a thought, are you making 'PAL' Blurays, they won't play on most NTSC players.

    Cyberlink Technical Support

    When you import H.264 video files created in Adobe Premiere, you can burn the files directly to a Blu-ray disc in Cyberlink Power2GO 13.  There is no reincoding.  Do not use H.264 Blu-ray, only H.264.

    That is why I make iso's first.

    I check them in Power DVD.

    If they are ok I burn them to disk.

    BTW get yourself some re-writables; saves you on coasters.


    What brand of disks are you using?

    That does not mean much same codec can differ. Mp4 is but a wrapper.

    Check the filesize before and after.

    In order to make bd disks you need authoring software.

    VEGAS DVD Architect – DVD en Blu-ray Disc authoring

    TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 - The Ultimate DVD / Blu-ray / AVCHD Authoring Tool - Pegasys Inc. 

    Not sure is Vegas will re-encode. Last time I check (few years ago it did not like Premiere H.264 BD files)

    Thank you for responding, Ann. I found Vegas DVD Architect online for $15. Are you aware if it enables viewers to use the next/previous buttons to skip around the timeline?

    I use Cyberlink Power 2Go 13.  For Blu-ray I create a H.264 video file.  Power 2Go 13 does not  transcode the video.  If you use the AVCHD output you can put about 25 minutes on a DVD disc.  The quality is as good as Blu-ray.  Cyberlink offers a trial version.

    Imo you made a data disk and not a video disk. Does it play in your bd player?

    AVCHD diks are made from BD iso's.

    I did not create a Data Disc.  I did not create an iso file.  I created an H.264 video file in Premiere.  The Cyberlink Power2Go 13 video that I burned to a DVD played on my DVD/Blu-ray players without any problem.  Power2Go will burn an H.264 video file to Blu-ray video disc.

    Are you using Windows or Mac? If Mac, I have used Toast in the past and although it's not spectacular, it does work. On the Windows side, check out Magix DVD Architect. It's become incredibly hard to find anything for Blu-Ray authoring the past few years, but there are definitely tools out there if you're willing to bite the bullet. Good luck!

      I'm on a Windows 10 system. I will check into that software. I had considered contacting several of these companies like Toast, Nero, DVDFab, etc. and explain what I need to achieve and see what they offer that would work for me. The last thing I want to do is invest that kind of money and it not work. It's difficult enough investing as much as these cost, if it does work.  Thanks for your help!
