Premiere pr/Media Encoder doesn't support 1080p at 25fps for blu-ray

[SteveD333]

Does anyone know why Premiere Pro and Media Encoder will not allow me to render a 1080p video at 25fps?  As far as I can tell it's a supported standard (as opposed to a format that works but not enshrined in the standard).  I've done a lot of Internet searching and the consensus is, blu-ray does support 1080p at 25fps.  I used to use Adobe Encore, and had no problem with creating 1080p videos at both 25fps and 30fps on the same disc.  They work fine, in fact I still have the discs to prove it.

I'm confused as to why I just can't create the video format I want.

Regards,

Premiere Pro and Media Encoder certainly can export 1920x1080 at 25 fps. Could you share which version you're using and a screenshot showing where you can't choose that? What are your sequence settings? Thanks.

Yes, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder can export at 25fps, but only interlaced video. I want progressive video at 1920x1080.  That's not supported by either app, neither is 30fps at 1080p either.  Yes the obsolete Adobe Encore managed both.  The screenshot shows the option isn't available.

1080p25 bluray was never an option within Premiere/AME/Encore.

the only progressive setting is 720p50 or 1080p 23.967

You can however export HD 1080p25 which is not BD compatible and therefor will to be re-encoded in Encore.
