which settings for panasonic dmp-bd80 blu ray

hi,
please help me to find answers to the next two questions:

1. i have Panasonic dmp-bd80 blu ray player. Which rendering settings in Vegas Studio 9.0 should i choose in order to create a blu ray disc my player will recognize? Do I have to use DVD Architect 5.0 or I can create disc directly from the Vegas Studio?

2. Neither Vegas studio nor DVD Architect 5.0 do NOT recognize my LP blu ray burner-blu ray disc when inserted. So, when I come to the option that project should be burned both programs start with the screen "initialising disc" and nothing happens; Just adding my burner and discs inserted work properly with other programs.

thanks,
Zoran

Hi Zoran. Your question is a little hard to understand.
1. Vegas Movie Studio 9.0 is capable of burning a Blu-ray disk without menus from the timeline. If you want menus you will have use either DVD Architect 5 of DVD Architect Studio 5. VMS9 comes with DVDAS4.5 which does not support Blu-ray disks.

2. What is an "LP blu ray burner-blu ray disk?"

Hi Ken,

LP is LG (sorry for error when writing). So, neither VMS neither DVD architect do not "see" my blu ray burner or, better said, blu ray disc inserted when I try to burn the project?!

thanks,
Zoran

OK, Zoran. Let's solve one problem at a time. It sounds like VMS does not recognize your Blu-ray burner as a Blu-ray burner. Would that be correct?

hi Ken,

It seems more likely it does not recognize when the blu ray disc (neither DVD) is inserted and it keeps asking me to insert it. Whether this is a blu ray burner or blu ray media issue-I do not know.

I think we need to establish some basic information.
What PC, OS and service pack are you using?
What make/model of Blu-ray burner are you using?
What blank media are you using?
Put a known playable DVD (or Blu-ray) in your burner, open Windows Explorer and how is the drive identified?
If the drive is not properly identified by the OS then VMS will have trouble - so we start with the basics.

Hi Ken,

Here are the info:
- PC core2duo, Siemens, 2,5 GRAM, 320G HD
-WIN XP, SP3
-LG BH08LS20 Blu ray burner, firmware ver.2
-media Sony BNR25A BD-R
-drive is identified properly, it works with all cd, dvd and even burns blu ray discs with other programs like power 2 go from cyberlink.

thanks,
Zoran

I lost track of this topic, sorry.

If the Blu-ray drive is working fine with CyberLink Power2Go but not VMS then my only suggestion is to contact SCS product support.

I have already contacted SCS support but the answers I ve got were absolutely out of the scope and unuseful :-(

I will now simpy continue to use Cyberlink products and forget Sony Vegas...

Anyway, many thanks for your kind support!

I'm sorry you gave up on VMS, Zoran. I tried the Cyberlink products and was not at all satisfied. I am really happy with Vegas.

If you are able to Prepare projects but not to burn them you could use another program (Nero, ImgBurn, Power2Go) to do the burning.

Mike, that's exactly what I'm going to do!
