Render Settings for a Blu-Ray Disc

Wovian wrote on 11/30/2016, 8:30 AM

I have come across a document on the MAGIX website "Render Settings for a Blue-ray disc" and of particular interest, given recent discussions, is how to render the audio stream.  It seems to suggest that we don't need the AC3 pro codec to burn a 5.1 Blu-Ray if I understand correctly?  Sorry a link is not available

Just type in "Blu Ray disc" and you will see a link to the document where it describes the settings etc.

I will try with these settings and see what happens

Quitter that's not the end of the world is it if you end up with 5.1 sound on your disc? I know its a complete pain, the burn will take much longer and we all hope MAGIX does the decent thing and include it on the next version/upgrade of VP, but  I only upgraded from Movie Studio to get 5.1 sound on my blu rays so if we still have that its not as bad as I thought?

You mean why should they tell us that they were taking something out of VP14 a lot of us were using in prior versions?

That's clearly not true Cornico so I must be misunderstanding you, sorry
