Q: Blu-Ray burning error after Final Cut Pro 10.1.2 update.

I upgraded Final Cut Pro X to 10.1.2  I can no longer burn blu-ray.  I get an error message "Either the video file or the audio file were an invalid format".  I get the same message sharing through Final Cut or through Compressor.  Please help!

    Maybe, but we're all guessing here at this point. Anything over an hour. I'd be interested to know if it works for you.

    Actually the one I was thinking I had burned as two DVDs -- one 43 min and the other 57 mins.  I have created a new Project and pasted both into it for a one hour 40 min.

     

    Let you know what happens.

    I was away from the computer, but it reached 66% in less than 90 minute clock time, and asked for the disc to be inserted, and has reached 83%.  Should not be much longer.

    Tom,

     

    Burn of one hour 40 min BluRay disc completed inside 3 hours total time, and tested successfully in my player.

    Edit.  This project edited from multi cam clip where one is from a 4K Camcorder, and the other from a normal HD camcorder.

    @Ernie Stamper: Thanks! Although, I believe the only reason your BR discs are burning is because you only have FCPX 10.1.2 and you never installed Compressor (which has the bad Create Disc, the error inducing program). Did you ever install and update Compressor to 4.1.2? If not, don't.

     

    We have a Mac mini with an external BR burner and two internal BR burners on our Mac Pros. All 3 fail at BR burning at the Create Disc portion of Compressor 4.1.2.

     

    We are still uploading our 90+ GB file to Apple. It's around 95%. I'm guessing they will analyze the process further.

    I should have mentioned that not only did I not use Compressor for this test, the two Macs that have FCPX have never had any version of Compressor installed nor earlier FCP versions.

    I don't believe this is correct. I have Compressor 4.1.2 installed, and I do not get an error when building a disk image.

    I will note that on my old Mac Pro with FCP7 and Compressor 3.5.3, the ProApp Codec 1.0.5 was presented second time this week, and shows as having been installed twice.  It was not presented a second time on either Mac without Compressor, that have FCPX.  Probably means nothing.

    It seems that the focus of the discussion about this problem seems to be on the creation of the files needed to create the blu-ray disc/image.  This may sound too simplistic, but when I read the error message, I want to think that program that writes the disc "thinks" that your are trying to burn a blu-ray video onto a standard DVD or vice versa.

    Could that possibly be the problem?

    @Ernie: Yes. I see. Compressor is used when you are authoring for DVD/BRD straight out of FCPX. All the same authoring scripts/coding are used. It's just not a separate entity as Compressor is. The odd thing is that we tested exporting/burning straight from FCPX and it failed just the same.

     

    @Tom: Are you trying to make an ISO, etc? We haven't tried that. Compressor does make the .m2v and .ac3 files fine. Again, it only hangs and errors on the Create Disc section.

    @MyHobbyPays: Yes. The program that burns the Blu-Ray is called "Create Disc". DVD's work, BRD don't currently.

    FCP has a copy if Compressor embedded in the app. When you install Compressor as a stand aline app you get another copy of the app - only this one has the UI. Both FCP and Compressor would also come with Create Disk.

    I Have not tested Compressor, only FCP to make a Blu-ray disk image of long form projects.

     

    THere is a CreateDisc.plist file in Preferences, which it might be worth discarding.

    I have Compressor loaded on mine and have managed to get the Bluray burning going either .img or Real disc.

    There were initial difficulties after the 10.1.2 update.

    I have not tested longer times of over an hour but will try this later in the day.

     

    That's a good point regards trashing Create Disc Prefs.
