I've managed to make the blu-ray image! Still got those navigation problems, but hey....
However, I've now turned my attention to the pictures on my DVD and Blu-Ray and well... the motion is awful. I let Encore do the DVD ones, and it's made a hash of it - I don't actually know if it can deal with the 24p video I have given it properly.
Can I ask you a couple of quick questions before I embark on a weekend long render? I really appreciate (as ever) your time on this:
My video is 24p and I'm making a 23.98p Blu-Ray and a 29.97i NTSC DVD.
1) I've used compressor now to retime the DVD files from 24>23.98 as everything I've read says this is an acceptable MPEG format for DVD playback, so even though my video files will all be 23.98, the Encore project is stuck on 29.97 (the only option). I plan to drop the encoded files straight into Encore and build in there. I believe this will be ok - is it?
2) I'm wondering if I should use compressor to re-encode the HD files as well - if so you mentioned in another thread:

"On the Mac side, we use Compressor to prepare our files and one of the settings under HD is "BluRay."
I must be going daft (and to be honest I'm so tired now I re-made the whole Blu-Ray project as 29.97 rather than 23.98 without thinking - and saved the project to my system drive by accident) but I can't find a blu-ray setting in compressor. Can you tell me what settings you use so I can avoid build errors?
I'm sorry to bother again - let me know if you have time. I would rather be spending some time with my kids this weekend, but it's not to be.
Many thanks
Ben
