Blu-ray video skips a beat

[Richard57]

I created a Ping Pong video on a Blu-ray disc. I have 5 clips in a single project. I did so by creating mpeg files for each of 5 clips and then stringing the mpeg files together. At the transition to the second clip, the audio jumps ahead of the video by a fraction of a second. Pretty disconcerting when you are watching a ping pong game! I am now reburning the disc using the project file.

By the way, I had also created a DVD using the project method, without a problem. I know you guys toute the mpeg method as the preferred workflow.

Actually, the workflow you speak of was just an alternative for people who had problems. Presumably, older, slower computers had trouble with the rendering/burning process. More recent versions don't seem to have that problem as much, possibly because of the advancement of the computer it is installed on.

Jeff,

I have a new machine with an i7-920. I have experienced several types of crashes (I'm leaning towared Vista-64). One such type of crash was at the end of a project burn process when I think that there was a little bit too much video for the disc. At that time, I was short 20 seconds of video, so cut a clip and re-burned OK. Another time the software just crashed, so I cut a clip and it worked OK.

I was trying the mpeg route to shorten the process of re-doing the burn if something went wrong. But it seems like something went wrong.

Another thing I have been recommending for some time is that, with HD video (both HDV and AVCHD), it is actually better to use the VSP project files in the burning module to burn a disc, rather than actual video files. And this is whether you are burning a high def disc (Blu-Ray or hybrid) or downconverting to a standard def DVD.
