Bluray Issue

I am using DVDA 6. Burning Bluray at 60i. When I play back on my computer I have no issues it works fine. When I play in my Sony dvd player it shows start up menu and will continue to play but it does not allow me to access my sub menu where I have my chapters listed. Using my old Sony bluray player it states that disc is not readable. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am using JVC media.

It sounds like problems with your media (disc) or with your players' abilities to work with home-burned discs.

Since the disc plays fine on your computer, the software has done its job.

Try creating a Prepared File (ISO) rather than burning directly to a BluRay disc. Then use the great, free program ImgBurn to burn the ISO file to your disc.

ImgBurn has a verify feature that does a great job of ensuring a successful disc creation.

Also, stick with good brand name discs, like Verbatim. Stay away from store brands and cheap brands like Memorex.

Also, you can use RW discs to create test discs -- but most disc players can't play them.

Thanks Steve I will try that. I tired to burn to my Bluray Suite but found out that I can play Bluray disks but to burn them I would have to pay $39.95. Nothing like another rip off.

I have discovered the problem. It appears if you have anything off the screen it will not work properly in a bluray player. I usually have my main file off the screen and then use the menu selection to access the files. Obviously I cannot do this when doing a bluray dvd. I now leave the main file on the screen just make it invisible. I just wish I would have discovered this before burning 9 bluray dvds. Hope this will save anyone else from burning expensive dvds that do not work in a bluray player.

Glad you got it sorted out. By the way, don't use the term "bluray DVD" because it is confusing. It is like saying a "bus car" when you mean either a bus or a car.
