Bad Quality blu ray disc, no matter what settings I use.

I hope somebody has a solution for this issue:
I exported a .m2t file from premiere using the mainconcept pro hd plugin. the video is a 1920 x 1080i 29.97 fps .m2t video at the highest mpeg quality settings on the plugin. The file its 29 gigs on size and looks great when played back directly, it is 1 hour and 45 minutes long. Then I imported the file to encore cs3 and made a nice set of menus and chapters, etc. Then I set the quality settings for transcoding to the best quality mpeg for 1920 x 1080 interlaced video, and check the project settings as well to the best quality. And here is when I notice a few strange things: 1.- The disc info bar, in the Build section, shows that the blu ray disc is using only 2.7 gigs of space, even when the .m2t file is 29 gigs and I`m using the best quality settings. 2.- the preview image in the monitor section looks choppy and very low quality. 3.- finally, after hours of transcoding and burning, the quality of the finished blu ray disc is very, very bad, and the total size of the files burned into the disc is about 7 gigs total. I tried many different quality settings in the program, but the results are the same or worst. I tried burning the original 29 gigs file using other program (cyberlink power producer) with no menus, and the results are far superior. (the things is I need the menus and chapters in this project, so I HAVE to do it in encore). Is there a way to get a decent quality blu ray using my video file in encore ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had a couple of other thoughts.
Are you using an Apple possibly with Leopard OS?
If a PC which OS.
How do you view the 29 GB file when you say it "looks great when played back directly"?
Have you ever successfully burned a bluRay disk with your system?
29 GB seems too big for that amount of footage (at least to me).
You might check out this thread (particularly post #7 of 9)
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b5bb15
which describes a workflow revolving around H.264. and the possible role of "forced interlacing" by Encore.
I don't know if Jeff would agree, but there are a lot of problems with BluRay authoring. All you have to do is look up and down the list of posts. Personally, I think I bypassed all that by using Cineform.

Highest quality Blu-ray disc encoding question ...

I did a bit of searching on old posts, but still wasn't clear on the answer. My source footage is 1280x720, 59.94p and came from a Contour+ helmet camera where the files are stored in a .mov file with H.264 encoding.   My video is only 9 minutes long.   What is the best method to produce the highest quality single layer BD out of PP and Encore in this case?
One response I can envision is that isn't going to matter in this case given the camera/source. Otherwise, would one be better off using Adobe Dynamic Link and letting Encore choose the settings or selecting the format/preset and tweaking the video settings in PP and importing the resultant files into Encore?
If PP, I have seen some posts saying MPEG2 Blu-ray will produce a better result if the bit rate is cranked up high. But then others imply H.264 will likely come out better.   I also noticed that the H.264 video settings allow increasing the bit rate there as well.
I will have a question on video settings depending on the answer above.
Thanks!

Thanks Ann. Everyone else confer or do we have any MPEG2 advocates?   Assuming H.264, what video settings would you change from the default beyond the frame dimensions and frame rate? I'm a layman/consumer, but at a glance I thought perhaps "VBR, 2-pass" would have merit as I thought I read somehwere that produces a better result (encoding time doesn't matter for me).    What about increasing the Target and Maximum Bitrate sliders all the way to the right (my video is short)? What about the Render at Maximum Quality check box (I'm still confused on that one and when to use it)?

Cant get decent overclock on Venice 3000, no matter what settings I use

I re-visited my overclocking on the Venice 3000 chip and still have very odd problem that no amount of fiddling seems to cure.
Yes, I have read many faqs, some quite good actually, so I think I know the score.
Now, this is the weird thing.
Right now, as we speak, I am running :
MSI Neo 4 Plat ver 1.D bios
Corsair Twinx Plat 2X512 (3200)
Antec 380w PSU w/24A on the 12v rail. System is not loaded at all, so this SHOULD not be the issue
6600GT video card
I have a nice 100% stable overclock at 235 mhz AND the memory running at 2.5 3,3,8 at 235 mhz!!, so that part is quite good. cpu volts at 1.425 a slight bump, and everything else stock voltage.
But that gives me only 2116 cpu, which is quite lame given that EVERYONE seems to get 2400 or MORE out of the Venice core.
I've had this up to 2200 or so, but basically as soon as the cpu clock gets over 255 mhz or so, I get instant lockup. (using ClockGen from within windows to test).
Of course , I test this with a 166mhz memory divider, so memory was never going above 208 mhz or so during this testing. If it can do 235, that should not be whats causing the freezing. Unless its more stable at the 1:1 ration than a divider (anyone know is thats possible?).
Heat is not an issue. Runs very cool. 32-33 C even under a load.
I have noticed 'fluctuating' voltage ( .05 v diff) but I suspect its the built in measuring of the mb , but who knows.
I've tried cpu voltage up to 1.55 , 3 HTT, running the multi at 8x instead of the normal 9x, no change,cpu locks up instantly above 255. no blue screen, just freeze.
Maybe I got a bum chip, been using it for over a year.
This board is more than capable of a high overclock, as far as I can tell by postings.
Anyone have a clue as to why this would not go faster??

you may just have a bad core.. it happens. just because others get high overclocks in no way guarantees you - or anyone else - will achieve those speeds. processors are binned and sold at speed grades thay have been tested at and are guaranteed to work at. sounds harsh i know but you bought a 3000+ and it works as a 3000+ if you get a decent overclock out of it thats a bonus and a bargain
anyway good luck in your endeavours hopfully its something other than the processor holding you back but bear in mind that your processor simply may not clock any higher

Authoring an HD Blu-ray disc from an HD camcorder

The bottom line question:
I have a Canon HF200 video camera; it records files with the *.MTS extension. I would like to import, edit, and author this information/video footage into a Blu-ray disc, so as to be viewable with a Blu-ray player, all the while maintaining HD quality.
My MacPro is of the early 2007 vintage, running Tiger; I anticipate upgrading to Snow Leopard as well as adding a Blu-ray burner, as long as my machine will support it.
What else will I need to ensure a full HD-quality Blu-ray disc? Will Final Cut Express 4.0.1 accomplish this (as opposed to Final Cut Studio, et al)?
Again, a big Thanks to All for assisting me with this issue!

Encoded video doesn't work on Toshiba Blu-ray disc player

I have a problem that I am trying to encode a sequence of frames in a video container , but the encoded video doesn't work on toshiba blu ray disc player .. I am using the following ffmpeg command to encode frames and convert them to a video:
ffmpeg -i "C:\ManVsWigan\Frames\%d.png" -vcodec libx264 "C:\ManVsWigan\encoded.mp4"
I tried multiple video codecs but no luck yet
"-vcodec mpeg4"
"-vcodec mpeg2video"
If you have any idea please help me

The BluRay player leverages parts of Windows DirectShow but won't serve very well as a general player since Windows will load other players for the majority of media formats.
You can get away with a limited amount of tampering of the BluRay's players tolerance of media files until you violate some far away written DRM safeguard and kneecapping the BluRay player from doing anything.
If you're trying to validate your ffmpeg composed tests of your content as part of the editing process, you're better to avoid relying on the BluRay player that is purposed for narrow replay of licensed content and equipped with oversensitive safeguards susceptible to malfunctioning from the invasions of video pirates like you defined by studio executives.
You and I understand you're not a pirate but chances aren't being taken.
Whether you just dowloaded FFmep in the macho exe format or part of the millions of other packages that include it, you can tune your players to codecs pretty easily with the KLite Codec Manager or the Registry.
Chances are you already know about KLite since editing video on Windows eventually requires it and its hard to walk down the street without eventually kiceking over a copy. But just in case you've been living on a Martian cave with your hands over your ears, snag a mirrored copy from: http://codecguide.com /download_kl.htm
I like KLite more than others because it is fairly unobtrusive and avoids stomping over other media tools the way Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas enslaves Windows and can neuter BluRay codecs without always adequately replacing them. I can cite threads on the matter but just googling for anything such as "Adobe Premier killed my BluRay" or "Sony Vegas ruined Windows" will usually return desperate strings of posts long enough to wrap around Jupiters equator.
For general maintenance of Windows poor codec management, grab this noninstalling executable http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html to determine if Windows believes it has the same codecs you thought it did and you'll likely be surprised by the fine tuning you'll need to perform.

How to get my iPod Classic 160 to work with my blu ray disc player

How do I get my iPod Classic 160 to work with my blu ray disc player?

Whats the model of the blu ray player?
I'm assuming you would have to to buy a dock or AV cables that connects to ipod and correspond with the model of player.

FCPX can't burn to a Blu-Ray disc

I purchased a Blu-Ray drive and some Blu-Ray discs. But FCP can't use the drive becasue it says some other application is using it. I went into system preferences --> CD's and DVD's and set all options to ignore such that no applicaton should be trying to use the device. But FCPx still can't use the device becasue it says it's in use.
How can I find out which application is attempting to utilize the BD drive?
When I insert a disc into the BD drive, I can hear it churning away as if soemone it attempting to read the disc I just inserted. But it's a blank disc and there is really nothing to read.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Jim

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to burn a CD from another application or the Finder? If so then try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
If not, how much free space do you have on your boot drive?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

What is a Blu-ray Disc-compliant asset?

I know this question sounds silly, anyone knows what Blu-ray Disc-compliant assets are? (I imagine 1920x1080 etc, etc) but is there a definition anywhere that explains more about it, I couldn't find it anywhere in the Adobe Help documents, according to the Adobe Encore Help : 'Blu‑ray Disc-compliant assets typically do not require transcoding", obviously I want to avoid transcoding any HD files if possible. Thanks for your help.

And yes like demon_hunter83 said, I do want to get the best possible quality (regardless of encoding/transcoding time), but I'm asking this question because I want to build my projects in a blu-ray format, and because my (slow) computer just took 53+ hours to transcode 1 hour 12 minutes and 58 seconds of HD footage to a DVD ISO built, I have no complains about the DVD quality I got, but I basically want to avoid transcoding at all possible, for those 2 reasons, first the time it takes to transcode and second to avoid any quality loss (if any), but when I hear people say that I have to transcode the files but at the same time the provided help says that it can be avoided by using blu-ray disc compliant assets I have to stop and ask someone who has been there or that has much more experience than me. Thanks again.
what that means is, if you bring in a mp4 or whatever file recorded on your camera, take it off of your camera memory, and dump it straight to Encore, completely vanilla, it HAS to trasncode it to a DISC proprietary format (be it DVD or Blu-ray) for it to work on a set-top player. if you take that SAME mp4 file, import it into premiere pro, and edit it (or dont. your choice), then export the video out to 'mpeg dvd/Blu-ray,' or 'h264 bluray,' THAT file will import into encore without needing to be trasncoded (because premiere already did that for us). so thats why it says "that it can be avoided by using blu-ray disc compliant assets" because they are importing a DISC proprietary asset that has already been trasncoded in premiere/avid/final cut/vegas/etc first.
as far as it taking forever and a day to trasncode, that is just the nature of working with HD if your system is not optimal. what are your specs for your system?
i prefer to do all encoding in premiere, while others (hunt, and such) prefer to drag in AVI assetts to encore and let it go, but with encore not having true background processing, i basically have to allocate a huge chunk of time to do that. so i would much rather set all assetts how i want them, and set up a queue for AME and while assetts are transcoding in AME, i can work on making menus and crap in Encore/PS and that is my preferred workflow. i set the assetts to trasncode to disc compliant formats, so all i have to do is drop it in encore, set my menu links to the assetts, and build disc.
but you can NOT get around having to transcode your camera footage. EVERY single one of us who uses any kind of format other than film, has to recompress an already compressed format to get it to disc. atleast with film you can work with notive lossless form source, somewhat. but such is working with digital captureing formats
the only way to avoid trasncoding to a blu-ray/dvd spec file is to burn an AVCHD disc, but those are NOT blu-ray spec, so it depends on the players and alot of factores whether or not they would even play. and encore does not even burn those types, so you would have to find other software that does that. but thats the only way i can think of... but again... it would have to be purely vanilla files from the camera, because if you did any editing in premiere, you have to transcode all that info to one final file... preferably a disc proprietary format

What do I need besides my HD camcorder to get a Blu Ray disc

I want a Sony HDR SR12. If I buy this what else do I need to end up with a Blu-Ray disc of my movies?
I guess my question is: Do I need a Blu-Ray burner to get a blu-ray disc or will my regular dVD burner give me the Blu Ray disc?
Can I get Blu Ray burners that connect directly to my camcorder? I thought at the store they had one but cannot find it online.
I know I need the software, an HDTV and a Blu Ray player.
Help. I'm so frustrated.

My previous reply got deleted for referencing a BB competitor (even though I was reccommending AGAINST going to said competitor as their Blu-Ray drive is more expensive than other vendors even after a 20% going-out-of-business sale).
I don't know if there are BR burners that connect directly to your camera. Most likely it will be rather expensive and less flexible than a PC-based solution.
An internal SATA PC-based Blu-Ray drive (for desktops, not laptops) will run you $200-220 or so. Don't pay more than this, at least not for the most common burners on the market at the moment such as the LG GGW-H20L. If you have a laptop you'll need to find an external BR burner, or buy an internal burner and a separate 5.25" USB-to-SATA enclosure (to make it an external drive).
You will get FAR more flexibility with a PC-based burner than with a camera-based unit. That said, editing HD video on a slow PC can be an unpleasant task. It's possible but it'll be a slow process.
Also, in the interim, you can burn a Blu-Ray file structure to a DVD, and nearly all Blu-Ray players will treat it as if it were a Blu-Ray. Since single-layer DVDs only hold 4.7GB and single-layer BR holds 25GB, you will be very limited as to how much video you can fit. (15-20 minutes depending on quality most likely. A bit more if you downscale to 720P.)

Partial Audio Missing on Blu Ray Disc

I have a project that is approximately 90 minutes that was created in Premiere CC. When I burn a Blu Ray disc for this project using Encore CS6, and subsequently play the disc in a Blu Ray player, the last 4-5 minutes of audio is missing. It plays perfectly all the way through in Encore when I watch it in the monitor, and if I play the audio file separately on my computer, the entire thing is there. I don't understand what could possibly cause this issue. No matter how I transcode, MPEG2, H.264, etc. it still has the issue during playback on a Blu Ray device. Any suggestions?

Regarding Encore building a Blu Ray disc and having the audio quit part way through the video, I also have experienced that nasty problem.
From reading the Ray Tisdale postings on this issue, I discover that I had a similar problem, and have discovered a resolution which I wanted to share, to help others experiencing this mystery (which I have no doubt there are).
My project is 15 chapters of story, one hour 10 minutes total, a documentary, developed in chapters using Permier Pro in CS6. These were developed separately, exported to files separately, imported into Encore, then placed in sequence on a single timeline. This is how I am accustomed to doing it, having recently migrated to CS6 from Sony Vegas Pro 12.0/DVD Architect 6.0 (If DVD Architect did not blast the image resolution down to approximately VHS when producing DVDs, I would still be using it). The project in question was originally developed using Sony Vegas, but I could not get image quality up to decent standards (two years of messing around, debugging, dealing with tech support, and etc.), so I ported the entire video image for image and word for word to CS6, essentially manually remaking the entire video for the second time (a six month part time effort).
Reading Ray Tinsdale's post gave me the clue as to what might be happening with my project. As a BD I would experience full program operation when Previewing and when burning a DVD, but a Blu Ray build would make a disc that started off fine - three complex menus with music and the first chapter working fine (audio and video) but part way throuigh the second chapter the audio just quit and stayed missing for the remainder of the video (images were fine, full BD resolution).
No amount of effort would resolve the problem. Besides trying multiple changes - such as synchronizing file format of all audio, and innumerable other attempts at guessing the cause - this (requiring about two days of my time) included taking a brand new Solid State Drive, installing Windows 7 from distribution disc, installing all computer drivers, and only software necessary to run CS6 (including Encore), update windows (192 updates) and CS6, and all other software, and protect from internet virus (etc.). A computer as fresh new as it could be from the factory still produced the same problem when Encore made a BD disc. This effort narrowed the problem down to being an Encore problem. P.S. I had done the same with Vegas Pro to determine the image resolution was an internal Vegas problem, not my use of the program or details/settings of my project.
On reading Ray Tisdale's resolution I revised my project to have 17 timelines (including two others besides my 15 story chapters - such as splash screen and etc.). Timelines are linked as necessary to play as if the chapters were sequentially placed on one timeline. After some brief and trivial debugging using the check project function, I rendered to a folder - discovering that the audio was not missing, although I was unable to get it to play as a BD disc from the folder. With this success I burned a BD disc and now I have a BD video with audio from start to finish.
Although I now have a working video with audio start to finish (as I designed my documentary), there is an annoying pause between chapters as the BD player shifts between files (each chapter/timeline is built into a separete file and linked as specified). From my DVD Architect experience I know that the only resolution to this (pause between chapters when playing on DVD or BD player) is to produce a single rendered output file combinining all chapters in Premier Pro, then to render it as a single huge output file (requiring an equally huge amount of time - this was 12 hours with Vegas Pro, and I have not yet tried it using PP). When the single huge output file is imported into Encore and placed on one timeline chapter markers are inserted at appropriate points, so that navigation menus can function as designed.
Now, I suppose that I am better off than with Sony Vegas. Both have extraordinarily annoying and mysterious deficiencies and bugs (which the program vendors will not admit) and extraordinarily annoying problems. But at least with CS6 I get good quality video images.

Problems creating Blu Ray Discs with AME Presets in CS4

After several weeks wasted (months back) with an ATI 5750 graphics card in Win 7/and CS4 (not working correctly) - I finally resolved by swapping with a NVidia GTS250 card .....but all my troubles are not over yet ....
I'm running Premiere CS4 and have finally just got down to testing creation of a Blu Ray test disc from some AVCHD 1920x1080 HD footage I am editing from my new camera.
My work in CS4 is just testing at present as I used to use CS3 [still have on my dual core machine with Matrox RTX2] - and have successfully created Blu Ray discs from HDV material in CS3 - but using Blu Ray MPEG 2 settings.
New machine Win 7 - 64 bit
Premiere CS4 is at 4-2-0 version
Encore at 4-0-1 version
These are the last updates
I've selected a short test piece (about 2 mins)on Premiere timeline and initially tried Media export using Adobe Media encoder.
I selected H264 BluRay codec in media encoder. Hi quality 1080 25 fps.(PAL)
This creates dual MP4 Video and Audio streams
Encode process goes OK, just slightly slower than real time, (I'm using i7-930 Quad Core and Win 7 64 Bit)
Now - when I come to input the encoded video file into Encore as an Asset - Encore freezes and the whole machine locks up !!!
Audio file imports OK but the Encore software does not like the encoded Video file
I've re-installed Premiere and Encore twice in case of bad install. It wasn't that.
I also found Adobe Media player couldn't play the file created by AME either - but it would play on a Premiere timeline?
So is Adobe Media encoder messing up here ?
So - .....3 hours of testing later ....I stumble on a Support thread from someone on the Forum that they found AME preset has "HIGH" in the Encoding Profile Preset - when it should be MAIN ?.
Not sure what these settings do - but tried changing that parameter and re-encoded the Video file with H264 BluRay setting - all to no avail as when I try importing again the machne just locks up ?
My final search in Premiere help file about creating BluRay discs ONLY talks about using MPEG 2 BluRay setting for creating BluRay discs
It does not specify H264. Why is that?
Can one of the moderators / experts confirm if H264 Blu ray format is supported for BluRay disc creation in CS4 please??
Better still please tell me the exact settings for Adobe Media encoder so it will import into Encore without having to be transcoded again.
H264 should work - yes ?
Final comment
As an alternative method, I tried sending the short timeline in Premiere (using Dynamic Link) to Encore to test that route for making a BluRay disc
Bearing in mind the sequence is only about 2 mins long - when I ty to Transcode using the engine within Encore - the process takes a ridiculously long time and twice it has crashed just before the end of the process......
Can someone explain why the encode process in Encore takes such a long time as I thought it used the Adobe Media encoder engine as well.?
Adobe Media Encoder is much faster used stand alone mode.
Encore seems to not use that ?
Anyway - conclusion is that using Encore to encode the tmeline is a non starter as it takes too long.
why so slow on such a fast machine?....I know HD encoding is demanding but not that demanding with a decent machine.
So the question is ....
How do I encode in the most efficient and fastest way possible (using H264) for Blu Ray authoring into Encore without need for more Transcodes?
Any help or suggestions welcome as I'm now hitting my head against the wall :-)
I have not gone through Adobe Support desk as it is usually a waste of time.{Dear VP of Adobe Customer Service - please do get this sorted out in the near future if you want to retain loyal customers....}
I cannot believe how disappointing CS4 is turning out to be.
After investing in a very fast PC machine etc the whole user experience is somewhat of a let down.
Why so many issues for such a small test??

Picking up on my original post about H264 - as I have a dual boot machine I also have a clean installed Win 7 /64bit partition which I use for general bits of work.
On that I have CyberPowerDVD SW installed which plays all Video files fine including BluRay material etc.
Interestingly when I try to play the file that AME has created from the BluRay H264 preset it says 'It cannot play the file as it is a format it does not recognise...'
This is really weird and would suggest AME is not encoding the file corrrectly??
I have already removed and made a re-install of CS4 on my main [video editing] partition but there were some fragments of CS4 left intact
How do I completely remove everything?
I tried the CS4 clean script but it said it relied on Microsoft CLean Up utility and gave a link
When I loooked on Microsoft web site the link to download it had been removed?
Also Adobe say the CS4 remove script is no longer supported ?
Can anyone advise on the correct tool/procedure to completely remove CS4 from a Win 7/64bit installation so I can then try re-install of CS4 one more time....in case the installation is corrupt in some way
I can't explain why I am having this problem otherwise if other people find AME encodes OK with H264 BluRay preset.

ENCORE CS6 gives error message during the burning of Blu-ray Disc

I did it again - upgraded my Production Premium CS5 to CS6.
I will not forget CS4 that never came to work. It was not a workable version, but at best an Alfa or maybe Beta version.
I was therefore naturally afraid to upgrade my reasonably well functioning CS5 version, but did it anyway.
My fears kept unfortunately connectors. Audition CS6 scratchy and crunches a lot when I change Audio Device from MME to ASIO. It should be noted, that none of my other programs have this problem neither my Soundbooth nor Audition 5.5 which I fortunately still have installed. So it is only Audition CS6 that crunches with ASIO4ALL.
Encore CS6 is also a problem child. When I try to burn a Blu-ray Disc I get, in the final phase, following error message: Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M2S file"
Fortunately, I can open the project file in my Encore CS5, which do not have the same problem. Encore CS6 cannot be used as a standalone application - I still need to have a previous version installed to complete my projects. It is not fair.
Unfortunately I can see that many others have the same problem. Even worse, however, that Adobe still has not come with an update or fair solution of the problem - after so long.
It annoys me infinitely, I every time have to spend so much time on the Internet in an attempt to find solutions to remedy Adobe problems. These are programs I have paid dearly for - exactly twice as much as others living in the U.S. pay - just because I live in Europe.
If there is a user who has some useful suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
I must complain about my bad English.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jim,
ISO files also works for me, but that's not what I paid for.
So far I use just the previous version CS5, but hope at some point to get CS6 to work.

IMac won't accept blu-ray discs

My iMac won't accept a blu-ray disc when I insert it - the iMac spits it back out after about 10 to 15 seconds. I then tried a normal DVD and the iMac accepted it and started playing it almost immediately. Is it not possible to play blu-ray discs on an iMac or Powerbook? Are there any fixes?

Hi guys,
I in the same situation as Seattle Oz, in that I am thinking of buying an iMac and would like to use it to produce high-definition videos. I currently use a Sony VAIO VGN -- A R21S which has a Blu-ray disk drive. I am told that with the use of Roxio Toast, I can burn to a Blu-ray disc but cannot play it. I find it pretty incredible that a product that is renowned for video editing and allows you to produce a Blu-ray disc doesn't actually have the facility to play it! However that being the case, what does anyone else do, to produce HD quality videos and how do they export them, if not by Blu-ray disc. I would also like to know what format the output is in, when it is burned onto the Blu-ray disc.

Low Rez Menus on my Blu Ray Disc... Help Please?

Hello everyone. I just created my first blu ray DVD and the everything is great and works as it should but the resolution of the menus are horrible. My project is full HD at 1920 x 1080. The menu background and buttons are actually blurry! I use Windows 7 by the way. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Are there special HD menus that I should have selected from?
Thanks for any help.

OK.. guess what? I picked an HD menu this time confident that I just messed up the first go around and I burn my blu ray disc, second one now, and my menus are a little bit better but are still BAD! I then did a bit of research on the web and learn that I'm not the only one with this problem and apparently this has been a problem with PE7,8,9 and now 10! Have a look at this thread: http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71706
My video is excellent but my menus are blurry.
Wow.... not good. Can anyone point me to a work around or a fix to this problem? Again, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. The menu that I used was the Pan and Zoom under Slideshows, I changed the background image to a 1920 x 1080 image, I added music, and I changed the color, siz and location of some of the text.
I guess my next test is to use a stock HD menu with no changes and see if I get an HD menu but every time a run a "Test" I use up a blank blu ray disc. This could get expensive.
Again, any help would be appreciated.

Bad Quality blu ray disc, no matter what settings I use.
