As we point out again and again on this forum, it's important to remember that home-burned discs are very different than commercials DVDs and BluRays.
Commercial DVDs and BluRays have their data pressed into a metal disc inside the disc's plastic. Home-burned DVDs and BluRays "burn" their data into a chemical inside the plastic. This is why many home-burned discs don't play well on players that are perfectly capable of playing commercial discs.
You can increase the odds that your home-burneds will work by:
1) Using a good brand of disc, like Verbatim, and staying away from cheap, inconsistent brands like Memorex.
2) Setting your burn speed to no more than half the rated speed on the disc.
This doesn't solve every problem, but it does increase the odds of success.
Test your BluRay in your computer's BluRay drive. If it works, you know it's an issue with the disc or the player itself -- not with the software used to create it.
