Blu Ray Disc Question

BruceUSA wrote on 9/16/2012, 3:33 PM

Please read throughly before you reply, so that you can understand what I am saying here.

I have an 1 1/2hrs Project that I am creating a Blu Ray disc. Here is what I have done so far and I am little confused.

I rendered the project in Vegas Pro 11 with blu ray template 1920x1080 24P and AC3 Pro audio seperately.

I set DVDA Pro 5.2 with matched property setting and made my menu. Everything is great. NO recompression.

I only use DVDA to prepare the project .iso file. I then open ImgBurn and set the file system to UDF 2.50 and then I click burn. Imgburn sucessfully burned the .iso file to my 50GB Verbtim Dual Layer Rewritable.

I try to play the blu ray disc on my computer with Panasonic Blu Ray 206 BD-RE Drive . I saw the .iso file on the disc. BUT my CyberLink Power DVD11 won't play it. Why??

I want to make sure it is in fact play fine BEFORE I burn it to a regular blu ray disc. So I dont waste my blu ray disc.

Can you see any thing I should be doing in order to create a playable blu ray disc on PC or blu ray player.

Can I play .iso file on BD-RE Dirve??? OR it got to be blu ray player only.

I think I found my own answer. When I burned the iso file. I also see that it created a BDMV folder and CERTIFICATE folder. I am drag those two folders onto Imgburn and try to burn it again. I will report back if it playable.

That seems to be the way it is. I have hunted around but I have been unable to find a PC media player that will play ISO files. My hardware media player does, however.

The only way to play ISO files on a PC seems to be that you have to first mount them using say Virtual Clone Drive from Slysoft. Then the ISO file looks like a normal shiny disc with a drive letter that you can play with PowerDVD and other software media players.

(Sorry, my original post had the wrong utility)

I mounted the iso image to a virtual drive, from there I can play the iso file and it create two blu ray folders which is a blu ray file structure. I simply drag those files onto ImgBurn. DONE. A playable blu ray disc.

It appears that the first time, you simply burned the .iso file to the BD-RE, as an .iso file (a data file, I don't know PC software that would play an iso from a BD). The second time you burned instead the BDMV and CERT folders to the disc root (and ImgBurn would know to make this a playable BD disc, that works in virtually any set-top player).

ImgBurn is able afaik to make a playable BD disc from the .iso, assuming the .iso has the correct folder structure thereon, but OTTOMH I'm not sure which mode that would require.

ImgBurn is able to burn both Blu-ray and DVD's from either folders or ISO. I use both a lot.

I prepared my blu ray disc project in DVDA and mount it on a virtual drive. It plays fine on my computer. I drag two folders onto Img Burn and I burned the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folder into a blu ray disc. The disc is play fine on my PC with Power DVD11 BUT the disc won't play on Sony blu ray player. Why my disc is not compatible ??

Did you try "Write image file to disc" (top left of the six options) rather than dragging the folders from the mounted image? Both methods should work, however.

Did you select file system UDF 2.5?

Peter
Yes, I set ImgBurn UDF 2.5. I drag the two folders from the mounted image onto Write files/folders to disc and Hit burn.

What you are telling me is to drop the .iso file onto Write image file to disc??

That's what I do and it's always worked.

I bring the .iso file onto write image to disc in ImgBurn. I will report back see it is working or not. What I did above is a prceedure I did for AVCHD on a DVD disc that is why it was not working.
