DVD Architect Pro 5.0 & PS3

After reading the manual for making BD discs, a note on page 25 that the BD created will not play on a PS3. Why is this and will it be changed with further PS3/DVD Arch updates? If I use Nero 8 software to create a BD disk (which does play on the PS3) it re-renders the entire project, and doubles the size.

No, that is not correct. The PS3 is able to read BDMV-structures from Blu Ray discs (BD), but the PS3 is not able to read BDMV-structures from a standard 4.3 GB DVD.

In other words, you have to burn to BD-R or BD-RE - and that is fine for the PS3.

Thanks. After re-reading the manual it does indeed say that. My question about future updates (to the PS3) still stands.

Your question about future versions of PS3 seems to be whether they will play DVDA created Blu-Ray disks. Given that the PS3 plays those fine now, why would that change?

It is a pure firmware issue, that makes it impossible that the PS3 plays BDMV-DVDs. If the PS3 will be updated with a new firmware to allow BDMV-DVDs, nobody will be able to tell you.
