Hello,
I have two questions regarding outputting a HD project to BD. 1) I have no chapter breaks? 2) Rendered file is AVCHD (.m2t) not Movie Clip (.m2v) even when choosing mpeg-2 in the Template?
I have a 1920x1080 23.976 project that I ultimately want to output as mpeg-2 video, & pcm audio to a BD-25. I had a lot of color correcting and audio eq-ing on this project so to get a rough feel of how it looked and sounded on my tv and stereo system, I outputted the project to a standard dvd-5 as a test(s). Everything was great, including the chapter markers. Now HD time; For the BD Render Template I chose Main Concept mpeg-2 Blu-ray 1920x1080 24p 25mbps. I burned the BD via Architect and the disc had no audio, and no chapter breaks. I did check the rendered file in Architect via the Preview mode and there was no audio or chapter breaks there either, but I was so giddy to see this on BD as this is my first BD project. This rendered file is a Movie Clip, not AVCHD.
I did some research and I was able to get audio on my rendered file (from the Render Template I clicked Customize Template, then under the System tab I un-checked the "Save as separate elementary streams" box which then allowed me to Check the "Include audio stream" box under the Audio tab), but still no chapter breaks when I use the Preview mode in Architect. Now this file ended up being AVCHD. I read somewhere that AVCHD is sort of the poor-mans version of high definition. And reading in Vegas’ Tip section they recommended mpeg-2 anyways if you're outputting to BD.
I plan on adjusting the settings in Architect (changing the bit rate from 18.000 to 25.000, fps from 24P to 23.976P, audio from ac-3 to pcm).
Which leads me to my questions:
1) why don’t the chapter break come through when I render a HD file vs. dvd? (the
“save project markers in rendered media file" box under Metadata Options is Checked).
2) why does the rendered file end up being AVCHD vs. Movie Clip when I Check the "Save as separate elementary stream" box? When I render the project w/o this Checked, it ends up as a Movie File (but no audio).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don’t mind burning through a million dvd-5’s, but not BD-25’s.
Thank you,
Jason
