final cut pro and dvdit pro hd blu-ray

[vidstan]

I can make beautiful looking blu-ray's but the video skips from 1 to 2 frames per second.

 

Here is my workflow.

 

Export project from final cut pro timeline by making a quicktime file.

Settings are as follows: H264 / 29.97 frame rate / keyframe in auto / no frame rendering / size 1920 x1080 HD

no deinterlace.

 

Everything loads into dvdit pro hd just fine and the Blu-ray burns without a hitch, but I always get skipped frames.

 

Any suggestions, or do I just wait for apple to release leopard OS.

 

Thanks.

there is a sticky posting at the top of this forum with those settings

Thanks,

Those setting worked, but you must be in VBR and and not CBR in DVDit PRO HD for DVDit PRO to accept that mpeg2 file from final cut pro.

Hello.

 

I just wanted to ask: With this procedure that you are doing, is DVDit Pro is saying the file is not compliant when you import it? I'm wondering because I've followed this procedure using the setting listed in the sticky thread, tried switching the prefs to VBR rather than CBR in the HD Transcoding setting, and every time it tells me the file is not compliant.

 

I'm just wondering how others are doing it because I have yet to get an MPEG-2 file to import from any encoder that was compliant... Compressor, or Vegas with the BluPrint option being the two main ones I've focused on, but we also have a StreamZ encoding system that we would like to use if we can find settings that work.

 

Thanks for any info you have.

When I bring the mpeg-2 into DVDit Pro HD I also get the non-complient warning. I just click the OK button and then in the project settings under HD transcoding, I select VBR Superior and then check the box below that reads "convert all complient audio and video files"

That's it!

"video skips from 1 to 2 frames per second"

 

I am curious. How did you tell the video was missing frames?

I use Final Cut and use the video settings in "Legal MPEG-2 streams that pass through DVDit Pro HD". My playback is a Sony PlayStation 3. I haven't noticed playback problems.

I'm a bit confused.

What type of file do you export from the final cut timeline?

 

Is "Legal MPEG-2 streams that pass through DVDit Pro HD" a setting on DVDitproHD?

 

Could you give me an exact work flow from final cut time line to DVDit Pro HD.

 

Thanks so much for your help.
