Hi,

I am running CS3. I have converted an Matrox I-Frame AVI file in Procoder to a 1440x1080 compliant Blu-ray format.

When I import the file into Encore, it seems to take for ever (maybe about 5-10 minutes). Once it is loaded and I drop it to a timeline, the scrubbing of the timeline is not possible. It is sooooo slow updating it actually takes up to 30 seconds to click anywhere on the timeline and see it update on the monitor. Trying to play the timeline is not possible. If I put the video setting on "draft" it somewhat plays but not great and of course at half res.

I have shut off the Matrox WYSIWYG output. I have tried different setting in the video output section. I have updated the Quicktime program to the newest, I have updated my Nvidia Driver to the newest.

This issue makes it impossible to set chapter points, or even view the video since when hitting the space bar the audio sometimes plays but the video freezes.

Any ideas? With regular DVD files it does not do this. Only with Blu-ray files. At least that is all I have tried to import so far.

Just as an aded note.. When I do finally burn the Blu-ray Disc, it is a clean burn and plays perfcet. It is just the performance that is alomost at a standstill.

I am running a Windows XP SP3 system, quad core, the video files are on a sata raid drive that is half empty.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

So should I assume this is a problem based on my computer and not Encore?

How long (in minutes) is the video?

What codec was used to compress it?

What audio compression was used?

An hour+ H.264 video with .ac3 sudio may require many minutes to index the video portion, and many minutes more to conform the audio portion.

How long did you wait before trying to scrub the video after you imported it? If the answer is "not very long", try importing the video and adding it to a timeline, then go get a beer and watch some baseball for a while. Check back with Encore later to see if the performance improves any.

What happens when you lose the Matrox and Procoder, meaning a regular HDV preset project and export with AME?

Might be more of a comment on just how poorly supported by the general consumer Blu Ray really is.
Perhaps nobody cares?

To elaborate on Jeff's post.
1080 what? 50 or 60?
MPEG-2 or H.264?
Also, to properly play/edit this type of HD video, a RAID 0 SCSI array is recommended by Adobe, along with a separate HDD for Audio and the OS/Application on a different drive again (physical drives too, not partitions)
