The Registry Keys are unique to each version. I have to go out now but I can test to see if the same change in the PD11 Key will do the same thing (I'm sure it will).

...or as DHNJ found try editing it manually but .... do it in PD11

Quote: jmone can you have the same change done so "create disc" (3D DISC) allows for BluRay and 1920x1080/60p or 60i so I don't have to produce them to usb stick and imgburn them so see it on my Sony player and TV that support AVCHD 2.0?

Thanks for the work!
S.

I'm not much for 3d but with the mod applied, the output from the "3D Disc --> Blu-ray --> HD 1280 x 720 & Dolby Digital 5.1 Channels & 3D-BD" profile creates 1920x1080/50 (or 60p) content. Have you tried it to see if it is 2D or 3D?

Edit - since I have no 3D footage I'm just guessing what the output would look like anyway. If you have a small sample 3D project in PD you could use the "File --> Pack Project Material" and upload it somewhere. PD 64 Bit-Win10 64 Bit-32GB RAM-80TB HDD

I did make it one year onto the beta testing team (for PD11) when AVCHD V2 support was new(er) - that is about it.

What I like about PD (and similar) packages is they are all based on the concept of a single encoding engine that gets feed various parameters to control the output. The challenge is finding where these parameters are kept and how to modify them. In P9/10 it was all about creating and modifying custom file profiles in the "Profile.ini" which was easy as you could read them in plain text, had descriptions and there was one line per profile. Another (competitive) package had their settings in binary files so you have to hex edit these ones but it was still and 1:1 relationship. This one is a bit more complex as while it turned out to be a single value change in the registry, there seems to be a multiple relationship between the profiles exposed in PD and the registry keys I've not worked out yet. When testing, one value change in one key was impacting more than one profile. Anyway - hopefully it has unlocked 1080/50 or 60p BD burning

jmone,
I bought PD12, tried the modification and it works well.

Live is now easier, have to start to use menus, something new for me with PD.

Want to add to the others in thanking you.

XLTN and thanks for the feedback!

So far the mod only works with the following 2D Disc profiles:
- H.264 / DD 5.1

Other possible 2D Disc profiles combinations that could be modded are:
- H.264 / DD 2.0
- H.264 / LPCM 2.0
- MPEG2 / DD 5.1
- MPEG2 / DD 2.0
- MPEG2 / LPCM 2.0

I imagine the "H.264 / DD 2.0" would be popular but I'm not sure in anyone would need the others. Any suggestions on what profiles people needed modded?
Thanks

Hi

I finally got some RE BR blanks and tried the above again method to no avail.

Had the instructions printed out etc. used the "turn on" and proper settings but the result will not play on my BR player. I assume that this was written for PD12. I use PD12 Ultimate.

And it will not work with or without menus, the pb hangs at the menu page.

No problems using the fixPD9 method.

Obviously I am doing something wrong again, any ideas ?

Eugene

EDIT: Does not play on my computer either, same problem, hangs up. Mediainfo data looks ok.

Have not yet tried an other player. 73s, WA6JZN ex DL9GC

Thanks for testing. Let me run it again from my end and it was fine both playing to a PS3 using a BD-RE and as a structure on my HDD. I'm travelling at work but should get to look at it later this week. PD 64 Bit-Win10 64 Bit-32GB RAM-80TB HDD

Hi

Did have a chance to check the disk on a Sony player, it plays the menu, albeit in a jerking manner while on mine the menu comes up w/o motion with green streaks. The menu is the WORLD MONOPOLY.
Could it be a bit rate problem?.
According to mediainfo the bit rate is normal but it measures average rate I read.

Eugene

EDIT: tried to do it in 60i as a check and have same problem. Never had much luck with titles even in PD11.

2nd EDIT: appear to have problems with my BR player. Will not recognize 60i BR menus from PD11 and PD12 but has no problems with commercial menus.


Have to sort this out first. May need a new player

Tested and it is all working for me including menus (see pic). Make sure "Enable hardware video encoder" is not checked else it will fail with an NVidia GPU and I have no idea what it will do with AMD or Intel.

Can you post a similar screen shot if still having problems.

Note: I'm a 50p user but it should be fine at 60p. It works fine on a PC using LAV/madVR (but no menu of course though I can play the menu clip manually). Also fine playing for a 2x BD-RE on the PS3 to a 50i TV. PD 64 Bit-Win10 64 Bit-32GB RAM-80TB HDD

I took one 60P to a neighbor and it played ok there, so it is my Samsung player. Looking at a LG BP330, it has good specs.

What Player are you using?

Unfortunately I can't help much on HW Player recommendations (as being a geek I use a HTPC for all my playback that can easily eat 1080/50 or 60p & all my playback is file so no menus). The only HW player I've got is the PS3 hence why the testing is pretty limited from my end (sorry!) but the PS3 is/was the "gold" std for many years in testing BD compatibility and it seems to work for me just fine (but the TV the PS3 is connected to is an older 50i set). The other option would be take a test disk down to the local shop and try a bunch out to see what works. PD 64 Bit-Win10 64 Bit-32GB RAM-80TB HDD

Eugene, you might want to review this thread as well http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/15/20975.page , it was two Samsung players of differing models that had the issue. I've copied my comment from there which I still see very often. My PD12 still creates this mixed framerate between menu and content. You might want to check your files.

I'm not sure who's at fault but some players don't like mixed format between menu system and content for BD playback. PD has a knack for creating this. Check the video characteristics of the menu system vs the content by going to the BDMV folder > STREAM folder and then providing MediaInfo details of like the 00000.m2ts and 00001.m2ts (A content and chapter transport stream). I've seen PD create a 23.976fps menu system and a 29.97fps content in a NTSC project. Other inconsistencies may be in the AVC profile being used. These issues appear to trip up some standalone players.

LG, Panasonic, JVC from feedback of my created disc users are a few brands that appear more acceptable to these discs than Samsung, however, it also appears model specific.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

FYI - This mod makes both the Menu and the Movies 50 or 60p but you are correct in that PD will normally create a 23.976p Menu then will encode the movie based on the settings you select (eg in 1920x1080 it would be 23.975, 50 or 60i). As you have found this change of frame rate can causes issues with some players and AV Equipment. PD 64 Bit-Win10 64 Bit-32GB RAM-80TB HDD

Well good news all around.

The Samsung was defective and was replaced with a LG-BP330. All the menus etc. are now working fine!

I picked that unit because it had the biggest listing of formats it plays plus being reasonable priced.
