I am authoring AVC video files to Blu-ray (BD-R and BD-RE) using tmMuxeR 1.10.6.
When I play the disk on the PS3 I am getting a black image, and it looks like its spiking every 10 - 15 seconds. The disk is video only, so no audio is present.

Here is the Mediainfo on the AVC file:

Code:

The AVC file was transcoded using x264 within ffmbc (ffmpeg).

Here is the ffmbc command:

Code:

ffmbc -i $filein -flags +ilme+ildct -tff -an -vcodec libx264 -level 4.1 -preset veryslow -tune film -x264opts bluray-compat=1:weightp=0:bframes=3:nal-hrd=vbr:vbv-maxrate=40000:vbv-bufsize=30000:keyint=30:b-pyramid=strict:slices=4:tff=1:aud=1:colorprim=bt709:transfer=bt709:colormatrix=bt709:sar=1/1 -b 30M -bt 30M -threads 0 $fileout

The source files vary from DNxHD MXF, to QT files, the problem occurs on both.

The AVC file plays fine within a media player on the computer.

I don't know know if its the Muxing or the transcoding that's the problem.
