Hallo forum,
A first message from a die-hard platinum user from Holland.
German lesen is kein problem aber schreiben is swchieriger so i changed to Englisch :((
From the MPX program in the first nineties til platinum 4.00b fours days ago.
From tape wit the fostex 260 to Blu-ray discs... but that's the problem now.
I have a presentatioen without any video content, only pictures with nice animations ;)
with the control tracks.
When I generated the mp4 file with ausgabe/h.264/preset blu-ray disc main video it's
not a problem. I can watch the proces on the second screen and also the generated
*.mp4 file, no warnings or messages at all.(alle warnungen aktivieren aktiv)
Then the second step: I bought last weekend a blu-ray writer from LG BH08 delivered with authorisation
software (powerproducer from Cyberlink). When I try to add to mp4 files also no problem.
But when I do the preview, I have only the sound no pictures ? That's the problem.
When i do the generation from the mp4 file with the presets HD HDV or AVCHD, it's the same behaviour.
So maybe Cyberlink then the problem ?
I try it with de VLC player 0.9.8a but unfortunately the same results.
But what could be wrong ??
Settings, hidden checkboxes,decoders ????
I also try it with the checkbox video-grafikdaten nie verwenden uncheckhed.
Maybe anyone would help me a little bit further away.
Gerne antworden in German .. lesen und verstande is nicht meine problem :))
Vielen dank.

Hello Forum,
Strange? after more than a week no replies on my post ??
Nobody make's a Blu-ray disc then ??
I could believe that :)
Yesterday, I installed version c of Platinum, but unfortunately the same results :(((
I read in other threads also problems with mp4 files.
Maybe its the same reason'??
After some experience last week I made a WMV file (1920 * 1080) and this works on the blu-ray !
That's is funny, also platinum 3 have do the job then.
The software delivered by the Blu-ray burner is very smart then.
It' converted the WMV files to a blu-ray standard.
I tested with a cheap Blu-ray disc player from Philips (BDP 3000).
The quality is very good.
I wonder why what advantage's are from the h.264 file generation?
Better quality?
I hope, someone knows more about this problem
Ok, schreiben sie gerne in German, lesen is kein problem.
Herzliche Grusse,
Wieger Siebenga

Hallo Wieger Siebenga,
wie in einem anderen Thread festgestellt, gibt es anscheinend ein Problem mit dem H.264-Preset für Blu-ray. Stattdessen haben andere Anwender auch schon erfolgreich das Preset "HighProfile" eingesetzt. Damit würde ich es zunächst einmal probieren.
Der große Vorteil von H.264 ist, dass das Video für die Blu-ray Disk nicht noch einmal encodiert werden muss und somit kein Qualitätsverlust auftritt.
Wir haben inzwischen einen neuen H.264-Codec von MainConcept bekommen und heute in Wings Platinum 4 eingebaut. In den nächsten Tagen werden wir damit dann Tests durchführen.
Herzliche Grüße!

Dear Wieger
You are not the only one here burning slide-shows on Blu-Ray disks.
While I present my shows using the EXE-Files and a (small) Personal Computer, I burn a Blu-Ray disks as an emergency precaution on a regular basis.
There are - at least - two ways to do it (as already discussed in this forum): you either use WP3 and export your project to a MPEG-2 file that any software able to burn Blu-Rays should be able to read properly. OR: You use WP4 (version 4.00c) to export your project as MP4-File using the H.264 "High profile". The resulting file can be read - at least - by Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere (both of them being able to burn Blu-Rays). These two methods did work fine at least with me. There might be other solutions as well.
It is surprising for me that you were successful in using the "Blu-Ray Disk (main video)" profile. This did not work for me.
You will find more information how I do it in the "Diashow auf eine Blu-Ray disk brennen" thread as far as MPEG-2 is concerned and in the "Probleme mit den Video Dateien einer EOS5MkII" thread as far as H.264 is concerned.
Maybe, it could be a good idea to try something different from your Cyberlink software. Good luck.
Regards Teddy
P.S. Your question relating to the advantages of the H.264 codec is a philosphic one: what is better, PC or Mac, Canon or Nikon, German Currywurst or Swiss Cervelat? In short: H.264 needs less bytes but more computer power. You can put more stuff on a Blu-Ray Disk - to bore your audience...

Dear Christoph and Teddy,
Both thanks a lot for reply.
Christoph
Thanks for the info about the advantage of the h.264 files
I try to make again a BD-disk with the high profile preset.
But the disk based on the WMV file is ok for me and also for the customer :)
Succes with the integration of the Mainconcept Codec.
Teddy
Thanks for extensive reply.
I'm glad to hear that I not the only one to make Blu-rays :)
Maybe I write it not so cleary in the first post..sorry then.
When I used the "Blu-Ray Disk (main video)" profile the generation of a mp4 is not the problem.
But when I try to play the file with a mediaplayer isn't succesfully, also the import from the mp4 file with
the software which generated the Blu-ray disk don't accepted this file.
When I do the same with a WMV file it's no problem.
The (burn) software accept a lot of files so I think the workaround you suggest with the MPEG-2 files also works.
Also thanks for the information about the difference between the formats.
Kind regards/Herzliche Grüße,
Wieger Siebenga
