Blu-Ray Mystery

Hi everyone,
I am editing my film in premeire elements 10. My project setting is HD 1080i, 1920 x 1080 29.97 fps. I recently started to practice burning blu-ray's to my work in progress movie, just so i am ready when everything is completed. However, until rcently, i did not own a blu-ray player but I learned on this board how to view my blu-ray disk on my computer by opening up the appalicable drive and drilling through the directory until reaching a file that is always named 00000. (and then opening via Windows Media Player) The one thing I have noticed about that file, is that it is not quite as heavy as the .m2t file that gets created when I just export directly to my computer with a similar AVCHD 1920 x 1080 setting. However after viewing both files several times on my computer, i never could a diference in quality between the blue ray disk and the exported .m2t file. I also have RGB cables that connect my compoter to my HDTV so every once in a while, I' watch various scenes on the bigger screen to gage how it looks. Never had any problems, that is until I played my blu-ray disk on an actual Blu-ray palyer for the first time and i was horrified to hee how pixelated the picture looked. I also noiced that things were getting slightly cut off. For example, a sign that appears at the top off the frame was missing the very upper part of the top letters. However if I take that same blue ray disk, put it in my computer, and project on the same exact HDTV via my rgb cables, the probelme goes away.. no pixelation, no isues with the framing. So it almost looks to me liek tehre is an issue with my blu-ray player as oppsoed to the way I am burning my blu-ray disks. Unfortunately i do not have access to a second blu-ray machine to test that theory so i wanted to get the opinion of the board on what is a mystery to me. How a blu-ray can play fine on a computer but crappy in a blu-ray player.

I plan to test out some alternate burning methods early next week to see if I can duplicate the error of no fast forward and no rewind on a blu-ray. In the meantime, I had a bit of a breakthorugh with the second issue from this trail, the pixelation. For the first time, I was able to duplciate the error on a computer. (as opposed to just seeing it on an HDTV) This is huge becasue I can now send around screenshots of what I am seeing. While I am thankful tohhave learned about autoscan and believe that is certainly playig a role in this "picture quality" issue, this shows there may be something more. First off, to get the specs out of the way, I am using Premiere Elements 10 in a full HD, 1920 x 1080 rroject setting. For this recent test, I exported my movie to a mst-h264 1920x1080i 30 setting. (my normal protocol for HD exports) The first screenshot is from Windows Media Player at full screen and shows the clear picture I am used to seeing when I view my movie on a computer. However, by merely clicking the arrow on Windows Media Player to take it out of "full screen", (second screenshot) it produces the intermittent pixelation that I was seeing on my TV , specifically when people are in motion. (and this is even more pronounced than what i was seeing on my television) What is even stranger is that clicking the arrow back to full screen does not resolve the issue. The only way to remove the pixelation is to close out the file and open it up again from scratch in the full screen view. The third and final final screenshot was taken from my Real Audio player which I am now realizing is an awful picture , regardless of whether it is in full screen or not. All 3 screenshots were taken from the same exact computer.
I would love to hear possible theories on this inconsistent picture as I am happy with how it looks on Windows Media Full screen and hoping to duplicate that result in all scenarios.
Thanks for your time!!!

LG Blu-Ray Surround Sound Receiver

Hi there, almost 2 years ago I bought an LG Blu-Ray player with the 5 speaker surround sound. At the time, I lived in an apartment and could position the speakers properly. However, recently I purchased a house (Yah!), but there isn't a way to run cables from where the TV sits to the rear corners for the rear speakers. I was wondering if there is an adapter to make at least the 2 speakers wireless that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg?
If not, any other suggestions?
Thanks everyone!

Hello Geekgyrl!
Thanks for posting and congratulations on unlocking the Home Owner achievement! I've ran into the situation that you are describing numerous times when working as a Home Theater Installer for Geek Squad.
The first thing I'd need to know is what type of surround system you have. Are you set up with a dedicated receiver and multiple speakers? Or is the blu-ray player the center of the speaker setup?
We do carry a Rocketfish Wireless Kit that should work for you if you have a standalone receiver, and I can personally recommend it after installing quite a few of them myself. It is pretty affordable and a lot easier than going into the attic or crawl space with the random mystery insects.
If the blu-ray player is the center, or you have a home theater in a box, you might want to consider calling our Mission Control dispatch (1-800-GEEKSQUAD) center or visiting your local Best Buy to schedule a Home Entertainment Advisor to visit your home and recommend additional solutions.
I hope this gets you started on your path to an awesome movie night, and let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you!

Samsung blue ray player

I just bought a new blue ray player but I have an old analog tv I want to watch netflix on my tv Can I do this?

Jimmienomam wrote:
Umm there are plenty Samsung blu ray players that have composite and component outputs. Both of which are analog.
Also if they only have RF then they can use an RF converter which is dead cheap at certain places.
Plenty? Can you grace us with a model number since you are in the know? Not that it really matters since the OP has already made his purchase. A part number from him would also be good. The top of the line model does have analog output but that is audio only for 7.1.
As far as HDMI to RF, I haven't heard of that so can you provide a part number for that too?
But why do this? Spend more for the player, more for the media only to downcovert the content? Do you think the quality of the movie will be better than from a regular DVD player?
The only reason I would consider that is if I was about to buy a digital TV and wanted the media I buy now to be the best in the near future.
And it doesn't appear that BB caries the mysterious players you mention and certainly don't carry the fabled HDMI to RF modulator. So, if he has to return the player to go and buy something else and also buy a modulator then how is that better than just getting a DVD player.
It's good that you are aware of a general solution but to help the OP out can you share some part numbers?

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.

Samsung SE-506BB Blu-Ray Player/Writer no longer working after latest OS X update

Since downloading the latest OS X update ("Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks") that rolled out today, I've discovered that my external Samsung SE-506BB Blu-Ray player will no longer read any discs and that ejecting and restarting the device and updating the device firmware does nothing to solve the problem.
This exact issue has been reported numerous times since January on these forums
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5829322 (1/26)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5836103 (1/27)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5895950 (2/12)
and in each instance deduced the problem to be the direct result of some software glitch in the most recent Mavericks update.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue currently and/or managed to fix it on their end? Moreover, admins, what if anything is Apple doing to correct this problem given that it's clearly a persistent issue? Please comment below if you happen to know anything so we can all get to the bottom of this mystery.

I just noticed this today with my player as well, which had otherwise been working perfectly since first purchasing it a couple of months ago.
The only source to my immediate problem that I can think of is the "Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks" update that rolled out today, which I installed shortly before attempting to boot up my drive -- the only thing I can ascertain is that this has to be an ongoing software update issue with Apple that affects some/all of the players with each problematic update round, since others have reported experiencing similar problems from as far back as January.
Were you able to fix your problem at all?

Trying to Burn a Blue Ray dics. Debating on Buying FCP package

I am new to Mac this year. I left the PC world because I thought Apple was supposed to be dominant on the video editing/authoring front. I learned how to Burn a blue ray disc about 1 year ago on a pc in about 1 day. Used My Sony Viao to import Sony HDR-HC3 footage. Edited with Vegas Movie Studio and Authored a yes......actual Blue Ray Disc with DVDit Pro HD. So simple; but slow. My laptop was one of the 1st to have a BR burner. So I bought a new desktop this year and switched to Apple. Why is this such a mystery to make a Blue Ray Disc with my new IMAC. And then I find that my FCE coverts my imported files to Apples AIC codec which are just huge files. This is so frustrating. I am not George Lucas or Steven Speilberg over here. I just want to burn my HD content to Blue Ray. I have waited a year for the technology to get better. Should I Go back to PC?? Should I put my HD Tapes away for another few years and see where technology is then? I am so frustrated. Any advice would be great. I will even pay the $1000 for FCPro. But from what I am reading out there I think I will end up regretting it. Everyone talks about burning your HD content back to DVD!!!! WHY!!!!!

First, the net doesn't have the infrastructure to support file sizes like that en mass.
10 years ago, the net didn't have the infrastructure to move significant video, now it streams it quite nicely. In 5 more years, it will stream most anything you want. Perhaps not in real time, but with a little buffering, it will easily work.
Let just put this rumor that we physical media will be obsolete in 10 years to bed right now.
Why? What real evidence can you put out there to support this premise other than giant media companies have a vested financial interest in maintaining the status quo. We know how well THAT has worked for <name your industry> where the world changed and they did nothing to stay ahead of it.
The Studios dictate what and how we will watch....period!
Yes, they do right now, and so did the record companies then. And now the record companies don't.
And whats wrong with Blu Ray? If you buy an HD set why not buy a BD player too. I waited too long for HD to come to the living room.
I'm still waiting for something worth watching to show up in my living room. Watching bad acting, indifferent lighting and skin problems writ large (which is the staple of most content) is not my idea of an enhanced viewing experience. A small screen (or YouTube) is a much better (more appropriate) venue for most of this stuff.
If I want a "cinema experience", I go to the cinema.
Enjoy your big screen.

Blu-ray DVD no longer recognized by HP MediaSmart or Windows Media Player

I have the HP Pavilion Elite HPE 250-f desktop computer. This computer includes a CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. I bought this computer in 2010, and all these years I have successfully played CDs and DVDs on the computer. Until now, I have not attempted to play a Blu-ray DVD.
A few days ago, I rented the "Divergent" Blu-ray DVD from my public library. The "Divergent" regular DVD was included in the package.
I put the Blu-ray into the CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. The HP MediaSmart software recognized the Blu-ray, but the software got into an endless "update" loop and did not play the Blu-ray. Microsoft's Windows Media Player also recognized the Blu-ray, but did not play the Blu-ray.
One solution I heard about was to plug an HDMI patch cord into the back of my computer box, with the other end of the HDMI patch cord not plugged into anything. Supposedly, the HP MediaSmart software would play a Blu-ray if the software sensed an HDMI cord. Unfortunately, that did not work.
I then downloaded the Media Player Codec Pack, http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html Supposedly, this Codec Pack would allow the Windows Media Player to play the Blu-ray. The Codec Pack included the Classic Media Player.
I tried to play the Blu-ray on the current Windows Media Player and the Classic version, with the new codecs installed. But nothing worked. I then used System Restore to get rid of the Media Player Codec Pack. I found out that, in addition to the codecs, I was supposed to use the Slysoft AnyDVD HD software. However, I did not make any more attempts to use the codecs, and I did not download the Slysoft software.
Now, here's where things get weird. Now, the HP MediaSmart software and the current Windows Media Player do not even *recognize* the Blu-ray DVD. They play the regular "Divergent" DVD very well. But they do not even *see* the Blu-ray DVD.
I uninstalled the BDDVDRW CH20L driver, version 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255). I restarted the computer, and a new driver was installed. The new driver's version is 6.1.7601.17514. But the Blu-ray DVD is *still* not being recognized.
Now, I'm hearing that a Blu-ray lens cleaner may be required.
So, what's going on here? Did the codecs in the Codec Pack damage the Blu-ray lens? Please advise.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi, BH. Thanks for your response.
sp60287.exe seems to be for Windows 8. I have Windows 7.
But even if I got a PowerDVD version for Windows 7, I still have the issue of the Blu-ray disc not even being detected. The Blu-ray disc is in the drive, but the software (HP MediaSmart, Windows Media Player) says that there is no disc in the drive. This "no detection" issue began after I installed the codecs in the Codec Pack and tried to make Windows Media Player work with the codecs. Is there an issue with the Blu-ray lens? Or is there an issue with the Blu-ray disc itself?
I notice that the regular "Divergent" DVD has no fingerprints on it, even after I touch it. But the Blu-ray DVD has lots of fingerprints. Does the Blu-ray have some kind of weird surface? Is there some problem with the Blu-ray's surface that is causing the Blu-ray to not even be detected?
Thanks.

Blu-ray creation causes windows blue screen crash

I am testing Premier Elements 7 for the creation of best quality DVD and Blu ray disks. Source is AVCHD 1920x1080i and I have managed to create a number of DVD's and one Bluray without problem. My latest trial creating a Bluray disk failed at about 98%, burn in progress with a Device Error message. This resulted in a blue screen windows crash. Far more worrying is if I re-insert that BD RE disk back into my PC to erase it and try again, it immediately prompts a Blue screen windows crash, so I guess the disk is ruined. I have previously used Premiere Pro, Ulead and more recently Cyberlink Power Director and Sony Vegas. The quality of the DVD footage produced by Premier is far superior and the Bluray output was also excellent. Cyberlink has proved to be a good package appart from the poor quality of re-rendered output. Sony Vegas Pro seems the only one to recognise raw AVCHD footage and opt not to recompress it!!! The Movie Studio version doesn't appear to do this, however, I have only had a limited go at the trials. I had narrowed my choice to upgrading to Adobe Premier, or the cheaper Elements 7 which suits my requirements for home movies, however, a major windows crash, which I tend never to get has got me running scared. Why o why is there not a burn to hard disk option for Bluray creation as for DVD? Has anyone experienced a similar problem - any ideas as to what I could try?

A BSOD situation normally indicates something is wrong systemicly with the computer. It can be either software (usually OS), or hardware related.
The first thing that I would do would be to gather all info on your system and list full OS, version, updates, etc., and all hardware specs. Something in those lists might provide a clue.
Next, I'd look carefully at Event Viewer, especially at the System and Applications tabs. Look for yellow warning messages at the time of the BSOD, and especially the red error messages. It might be easier to invoke a BSOD, so you will know the exact time and date of the crash. Study each yellow and each red message carefully. Many might not yield much useful info, but some might tell you a lot of about what is happening, and may even give you the cause. Please explore every link that is offered in each of these messages. They should take you to either the MS site, or to the site of a software, or hardware company. These will likely be where you'll gather the most important data.
Here's what to look for in Event Viewer:
Give us any details found there.
Also, see this LINK. The video is a bit long, but will furnish you with a lot of troubleshooting tips, and also tools from MS. Make notes of these tools and their use.
Good luck,
Hunt

External Blu-Ray drive for HP Envy Lightscribe Issues

My HP Envy 13-1100ea came with an HP external Blu-Ray drive (HP Part No: 538333-001) which identifies itself as an Optiarc BD ROM BC-5600S. In the HP Envy 13 service manual it mentions this drive as having Lightscribe functionality but I cannot seem to get the drive to be detected by the Lightscribe Control Panel or any Lightscribe labelling software. I have tried installing the Lightscribe software (older version) from the HP product support page as well as the latest software and diagnostic utilities direct from the Lightscribe site but nothing has seemed to work so far. Has anyone had any success burning Lightscribe labels with this drive or have any advice that might get things working?

The drive has the following logo on the bottom plate:
Which looks quite similar to the lightscribe logo, although it's not exactly the same. The HP Envy 13 support page does not contain drivers for the optical drive and I can't seem to find a dedicated support page for the drive itself. I have tried uninstalling the default windows driver which it reinstalls when the drive is plugged in again. As I said before it has been communicated in various place that the drive features lightscribe functionality and I'd be pretty upset if it turns out it doesn't!

How do I use my Airport Express with a Blu-ray player?

Hello, first post, long time lurker. Have a question, hope someone can help me
I have an Airport Express V 6.3, currently I have it set to 'Join a wireless network' and its connected wirelessly through a Netgear router that is located on the 1st floor, I'm on 3rd floor by the way. I've been using it for airtunes, but I recently received a Sony Blu-ray Player and would like to connect it the airport express via ethernet cable.
What do I have to set up on the airport express to be able to give the blu-ray player internet?
I've noticed many threads here about airport extreme connected to express...so they weren't too helpful

Welcome to the discussion area, mareithree!
You'll need the 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Express to be able to "Enable ethernet clients" and connect the DVD player. Unfortunately, your older version of the Express does not allow this type of feature.

Blu-ray does not work after update to windows 7

Hi, couple months ago I have installed windows 7 on my HP Pavilion dv5-1070ew (previously there was pre-installed Vista). I've installed the newest version of HP MediaSmart DVD (4.0.3822) downloaded right from HP.com but unfotunately, when I'm inserting a BLU-RAY Disc it's not being played. HP MediaSmart DVD opens and it writes that "Disc is ready to play" (so it is able to see the disc), but when I click button "Play", the monitor starts to wink for a while and then nothing happens...
Thanks in advance for any help

@Chris:
I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

Why is it only possible to get French Language Films via iTunes France - I can buy Blu-ray in the Supermarket in multiple language? It makes no sense!

I am English Speaking My wife is Dutch my Children speak 3 Languages. We love AppleTV BUT we can only get films (in general) in Version Originale (French Only) and this makes no sense...
We can go to the local supermarket and buy DVDs and Blu-ray Discs that allow us to watch the up-to-date movies in a range of languages so why not on this AppleTV OTT service?
It makes no sense.
Just because we live in France does not mean we want to watch Hollywood Movies in French?
So much for What you Want-When you want-Wherever you are...

It really does have to do with content permissions. The studios that release the Bluray and DVD versions might not always be the rights bearer to the film, they just bear rights to distribute it on physical media. Most films are made by different companies, then released by Sony, Paramount, and other distribution channels. But in the online realm, different disributors own the rights (and Apple doesn't participate with them or is unable to in some countries). Perhaps Sony distributed films will sell in your local store or be played by a Sony owned TV station locally. But perhaps online Sony doesn't hold that distribution rights to distribute the film online, Warner Brothers or somebody else does. Therefor, they don't allow it online in that market. The licensing is in limbo.
Most American films I buy in China on DVD from Wal Mart, are distributed by a Chinese company and not the original American film studio. Also in USA, the price for a new DVD is about $20 USD, in China it is only $2 USD. So to limit everyone in USA from buying Chinese DVDs at a cheaper price to watch American movies, they put content restrictions on the media (ie. the DVD region codes) so the DVD won't play in an American player.
The same goes for online rights. Your local government, copyright offices and local content license holders do not distribute the movie you want online. They distribute it on physical media or TV broadcast. But they have not secured permission or agreed on what price to sell the movies for online in your market. Apple has no say in this. In fast, the only store Apple controls in the US store. All other local iTunes stores are really virtual stores in place for locals to buy from local distributors.
The Chinese people are in no hurry to download from the US iTunes store because it cost too much. But if the Americans could download from the Chinese iTunes store, they could buy any movie they like for less than $1 and all the money goes to China, and not the US. Hence the restriction.
So copyright holders are just fighting over prices and rights and don't want to or legally can't release it online in your local store.

I purchased a blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code for a digital copy. I redeemed the code on iTunes but the download has been continuing for 2 weeks now and it never finishes! The time just keeps going up. Never an issue in the past.

I redeemed the code in iTunes and the movie downloaded fine, but the "EXTRAS" have been downloading for 2 weeks! Everytime I launch iTunes it starts the download again and the counter keeps going UP, at one point it said it would take 3 weeks. I have paused and restarted the download, I have deleted the download, nothing works to finish or stop this download! Does anyone have a clue what's up?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

How to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

how to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with the sony bluray player.
The airport utility is to setup wireless in the airport.. once you setup wireless then you use the sony setup for wireless in the player as per its manual.
Please do keep the wireless names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
As well as pure alphanumeric passwords if you want to do this successfully.
