I just don't think jumping through those additional hoops is going to fix it. But it still encodes the audio as a 2.0 AC3.

I could go as far as using Telestream Episode 6 to do my encoding, but I'm thinking there should be no need for that. THE VIDEO OUTPUT IS AN H.264 m4v file, sans audio, directly from Premiere CC, using the "Blu ray" option on the format selection. My 5.1 AC3 has been verified by the DOLBY DECODER tool. But when I pop the disc in any player, it only shows the DOLBY 2.0 192kHz file as the only stream attached to the video! Sorry, but if there is another way, please advise, if you don't mind. Avoiding any reprocessing of a DOLBY 5.1 AC-3 file would be great. Maybe only on earlier versions as an option. I have looked everywhere.in the menus, sub menus, extensively and did not see the "NEVER RE-ENCODE" option anywhere. Once the Blu-ray disc image is mounted you can preview the video using Roxio Video Player in the Toast Extras menu.Ī MESSAGE TO DIGITAL GURU: I'm using TOAST 11 & 12. toast file using Mount Image File from the Toast Utilities menu or some other ways such as control-clicking on it in the Finder and choosing Mount It from the Contextual menu. If you are uncertain of what settings you want in Compressor I suggest creating a 1-minute sample video and then use Toast to save as disc image. Even if it said encoding Toast does not decode and re-encode ac3 audio streams.

When you click the burn button or choose Save as Disc Image the progress window should say Multiplexing and not Encoding. Since this is a Blu-ray project I also suggest selecting MPEG 2 instead of MPEG 4 as the encoder just to make sure Toast knows to only multiplex rather than encode the project. You also should go to the custom encoder settings window and select Never re-encode. After you add the video stream to Toast it will ask you to locate the audio if it doesn't find it automatically. I don't have Compressor but my understanding is it creates mpeg 2 and ac3 elementary streams.
