Creating Blu-ray Discs

[Media Editor]

For those creators who want to make Blu-ray Discs, I recomment TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6(PC Only).  Export the video as H.264 Blu-ray.  I use Mercury Pro Burner from OWC.  It burns the Blu-ray Discs very fast without reincoding the video.

I recently burned a 32 minute video to a Blu-ray disc using Authoring Works 6. The Mercury Pro Burner burned it in 4:00 minutes.

was the color and brightness the same as your monitor? I'm curious if they re-author the gamma.

The color and brightness were the same.  TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 has a trial version.

All looks the same on hdtv as it did on my monitor even 20 year old digital 8 footage which I upscaled to 720p.

TWA6 does smart render.

In case of Premiere dvd or BD files: they dont get re-encode. (nor does Encore re-encode).

AFAIK it does not touch the gamma or any other parameter.

All it does is mux m4v/H.264 and wave/ac3 to a m2ts file

what are you callibrated to?

and is CM enabled?

and using video range codecs?

there are so many variables now. 

Last thread the user worked in 2.2 and it matched their TV because adobe media encoder supposedly doesn't darken the blueray export. I'm only asking to see if there's any workflow problems.

1. 2.2

2. no

3. input prores or canon xf avc, output: H.264 bluray (either AME or Tmpgenc)

Is AME suppose to darken on export?

I am guessing tv needs adjusting, provided monitor is calibrated correctly.
