Burn to Blue Ray

LionelS wrote on 1/6/2011, 9:55 PM

Once I have used the Make Movie function it renders my project. It does ask if I want to burn to hard drive, DVD or Blue Ray. I chose Blue Ray and it began rendering. After rendering it asks if I wanted to open this in DVD Architect Studio. I said no as I want to burn to Blue Ray and burning to Blue Ray in 5.1 surround sound is not supported.

After saying no nothing further happened. I expected it then to proceed to burn to Blue Ray disc. I can see under tools there is a burn disc option but not sure if this is the correct order to proceed in or the best. How do I burn to Blue Ray ensuring the rendered project is burnt not just the project on the time line as I am not sure if the rendering was saved to the project after it completed.

I don't know for sure (I don't have 10) but maybe the Burn From Timeline feature only supports DVD burning (or to the HD) directly?

No this will burn to Blu-ray, either from the timeline or from an existing image.

What I am saying though is if you use the Make Movie option and go through the prompts of burning to Blue Ray and say "no" to opening up in DVD Architect it does nothing except only gives you the option to click Finished. Unless other users say this works with blue ray, this may be a identified issue.

At that point you will have created two files; an m2v video file and a w64 audio file. These files can, at an time, be opened in DVDA in order to author a Blu-ray disc. I'm sure this is as intended.

To burn directly from the Timeline, you do NOT choose Make Movie function.

Go to the TOOLS menu and choose Burn Disc
Then select one of the choices
This by passes DVD Architect
I have options to burn direct to DVD and Bluray

I do have the Platinum version so I don't know if this isn't in the standard version.
