My last 6 months at the DVD/Bluray facility, the authoring rockstars were trying to figure out BD-Java; sort of a Manhattan project of authoring nerds. So many QC fails and lots of frustration trying to get it to work. I think one of the first titles was a sequel involving a flamboyant pirate. If my... (read more)

Chris, I am kicking myself for not creating a virtual machine of Windows XP with Encore and Procoder. I had the pleasure of working with Henninger for network QC and agree that they are top notch. In the end, we were able to get our discs done through a third party, but not without some back and forth... (read more)

Thank you for all the solutions. It sounds like I need to boot up my PC and wait a week for it to update. Back in 2005, I actually worked for Ascent Media (now owned by ByDeluxe) as DVD/Bluray Production Manager coordinating the DVD/Bluray creation for films/TV compilations. My main clients were a mouse... (read more)

So we recently purchased DNxIQ, primarly so we could have access to our large Archive of analog (Beta & 3/4) material straight into MC. But we also have matereal that has been archived on Blu-ray. We have found that the signal from a Blu-ray player will not pass through the DNxIQ. The disc's... (read more)

I'm creating a Blu-ray using Avid DVD by Sonic 6.1.1, and find it names the disc to 'Sonic Solutions' (the volume name thatappears in Windows Explorer). There is no option to turn this off, or customize it. The manual says you choose this at the start, but I did not choose 'Sonic Solutions'... (read more)

Outputting a 1080i/59.94 project for Blu-ray, I am encountering an intermittent interlacing effect on the credits roll. The dreaded "comb" effect goes in and out, making some portions of the credits unreadable. The credits were created in NewBlue Titler v.1 in Avid MC 8.3. Previously I created... (read more)

I'm running MC5.0 on a PC running Win7. My feature is 83 minutes (69GB). I'm also using Squeeze 9. In the past, with shorter projects, I've been able to export a Quicktime version (either reference or full) and use Avid DVD by Sonic to burn Blu-ray discs. Because the external drive on which...

I've used Avid DVDit Pro for a year at least and have ended up with occasional coasters but today I made 6 50gb coasters. This is getting expensive. I burned a 50-gig re-writeable with success but the single burn discs end up with the dreaded "AS_Storage error-97060". I've tried to... (read more)

I did indeed start an entirely new session (and also re-installed.) It did create a DVD-dvi file though...just won't write or burn the volume. Anybody know if I can take that DVI file to another burning program and output that way? *BTW, the specs below are WAY out of date, and Avid doesn't seem... (read more)
