I do all the time and have had fantastic results. I have a Pioneer burner. My advice is to stay away from LTH (low-to-high) recordable media and Memorex media. I have had bad results with those. BD-R should play fine on just about all Blu-Ray players that support the BDMV format (format used in movie Blu-Rays). I have not tried recording to a dual-layer 50GB disk yet with DVD Architect. I use Architect to do the authoring and then burn an image file to the hard drive. Then, I use imgbrn to burn to the actual disk. Hope this helps - good luck!.

Thanks CSC!

I too too have ImgBurn. Is there a reason you burn with ImgBurn rather than the feature in DVDA-5.0?

Note that if you are running Windows7 you don't need any 3rd party image burning software. Just right-click on the ISO file DVDAS creates and click the top option, which is Burn to disk. My first Blu-Ray ISO was something like 16 GB and Win7 put it on my Blu-Ray disk perfectly.

Hi Kim,

I just finish my granddaughter's wedding. 105 minutes - I made 6 Blu-ray disks on Ritek 4X using DVDAS5 and they work and and look marvelous. Then I swapped out the .m2v file in DVDAS5 for an .mpg and made eleven double-layer DVDs - also on Ritek. Had 2 complaints so far on the double-layer so made a couple single-layer disks on Taiyo Uden media - have to drop the max bitrate below 5 Mbps to do so but they still look good. The Ritek Blu-ray disks were $50 for a 25 pack, hub printable at Rima.com. I have had good service from Rima. Even at 2 dollars a piece Blu-ray media seems quite expensive to me - still 5 times as expensive as DVD media.

My experience, albeit limited, is that the only double layer discs that work consistently are Verbatim. I've had trouble with Ritek, both single and dual layer.

I've got a Sony Viao i5 laptop with a Blu-ray burner. I use it to edit my own AVCHD footage and burn onto Blu-ray. As far as I can tell the discs I have made work fine. However, I don't have a separate Blu-ray player so I just plug the laptop into the TV via HDMI and the results look good to me. The only negative point is that the rendering the editing footage takes a while. On my PC is about 4 times the playing length. So 1 hour of AVCHD takes about 4 hours to render and burn.
Next step is to get a separate Blu ray player, although to date not seen one with the spec. I would like.
Also need to get a out now and do some more filming because I have edited and burned all my material onto Blu-ray!
