Blu Ray player reports discs are not compatible or will not play

cspvideo wrote on 6/23/2022, 9:20 PM

It's been two years since I needed to make a Blu Ray disc so I am rusty. I rendered out my project using the SONY AVC/MVC codec with the 1920 by 1080 at 16 mbps and 60i. I made sure to match the bit rate in Architect. I can't get the discs to play in a Blu Ray player. It doesn't load them at all. What am I missing? Thanks.

First step - have you tried the discs in more than one player?

Yes. They do not play in any player and produce the same error message. Oddly, I have some rewriteable discs and those work perfectly.

That seems to indicate a disc or burner problem. What type and manufacture are the discs?

I tried a different brand. Verbatim was what I used. I also have Plexdisc. Same error. I burned a 2019 project that I know worked. Same error. I am trying a different physical burner in a different machine. I copied the iso file. It's still baking. I will post my results after it finishes. I compared my 2019 settings to 2022. They are identical. I hope it's the burner. The discs are single layer. 6x. 25gb.

No joy. I burned it on a totally different system with precisely the same result.

Does the disk play okay on your computer with the burner?

DMT3 No it doesn't. Not even with the highly tolerant VLC media player. DVDs burn and play. Blu Ray discs do not. Even a previous year's project, 2019, where I supplied 20 BDs that had no problem no longer burn into a playable disc. I tried different computers with different brand burners and different brands of media. I also created a simple project with one short video and no menus and it does not work either. Last week I burned a test BD-RE and it worked fine. Today, no version, no media, no project size works.

Sounds like burner has gone bad.

DMT3. I tried three different burners on 3 different systems. I think the most recent Windows update may be an issue. I have a friend who has a duplication system. I can bring the iso file on a thumb drive and he can burn discs. We are going to try that and see what happens.
