Blu-ray structure on standard DVD/DVD-DL

I think the answer to this is "no," but I was wondering if the current version of DVD Studio Pro will allow you to create Blu-ray player compatible discs with HD material on standard writable DVDs, as Toast Titanium 10 Pro is capable of doing. I understand that I would be limited in the amount of material that would fit on a DVD-DL.
Thanks,
JV

Can you burn Blu-Ray on a standard DVD?

I know Encore won't build a Blu-Ray movie to a DVD disc but I've seen some ppl say you can use the freeware program ImageBurn to burn the Encore build to a standard DVD as long as its small enough to fit.
The reason why I want to do it is make short HD demos of my video work on a standard DVD that can be viewed on a Blu-Ray player. DVD media is a lot cheaper than BR 50 cents vs $10 a disc and I aslo don't own blu-ray burner. For longer videos I can use a Dual Layer DVD for clients who want a HD option.
Some ppl say absolutely no, while other say yes. Someone outlined how to do it but it didn't work for me, although I only used the last part of the instructions to burn because I was using Encore to build folder or iso, while the instructions are intended for ppl ripping a retail Blu-Ray.

I'm filmed my own legit HD content, encoding it as the proper mpeg-2 blu-ray format, authored it in Encore CS3, built a blu-ray folder or iso, and using ImageBurn to wrote it to a standard DVD. All of that worked but when I took it to Best Buy their Blu-Ray player wouldn't recognize the DVD.

For what it's worth, I've been able to burn an ENcore BluRay .iso and then used Imgburn to burn the .iso to a regular DVD and it played on a SONY BDP S300.
Sometimes the firmware in the player has to be updated.

16:9 standard DVD looks good w/ Blu Ray, zoomed in on DVD player

Final Cut Pro7. 16:9 stills slideshow, Compressor 90 min best DVD, DVD Studio 1280 x 720p 16:9 letterbox
Any ideas why? It looks about 25% larger when played on a standard DVD player, looks good on Blu Ray.

DVDs are limited to SD video only. You cannot have HD video on a SD DVD created by DVD SP.
And the HD DVDs that DVD SP creates will not play on Blu-Ray players.

Blue ray disc or hdv dvd burner

did anybody knows if apple will release a hdv dvd burners likes the one of sony, I use dvd pro, and the software give you the oportunity to change the way to bur the dvd red or blue ray, please someone tell me thanks alot

No… nobody knows Apple's plans but Apple. Also, speculation is against the Terms of Use that we all accept when creating our accounts.
I would suggest you check some rumour site. You'll have better luck there.

Will My Computer Play Blu-Ray and/or HD DVD's?

According to QT web sites, the new H.264 codex allows us to play HD
DVD's. Heck, I can't even get QT 7.1.5 to play ANY DVD's! However, it does do a fantastic job of playing Anamusic.mov which is at the low end of HD - 1280 x
720 which I downloaded from QT's HD web site.
So, would I be wasting money by buying a Blu-Ray disc? I still haven't decided on what stand-alone HD Player to buy just yet.
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

QuickTime Player doesn't open DVD (MPEG-2 format).
It will also not open any HD disks.
Stick with the HD downloads if you want to view on your computer.

Lacie Blu-Ray external burner with DVD Studio Pro?

Is there a way to burn my HDV footage as MPEG-2 to a disk image and burn it on a Blu-Ray disk on the Lacie external drive?

No, you can burn a movie disc but - and I'm not 100% certain of this - I believe you'll need the Blu-ray add-on (it's a software download) for Toast 9 (the version that comes with the burners) in order to burn a movie disc.

Workflow for creating one project that can be burned to both Blu-ray and standard DVD?

Hi,
I have a 20 minute project and I'm creating a simple single menu with a play button. I'd like to create it once and be able to burn both a 1080p Blu-ray and a standard DVD. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi,
Let me explain how transcoding works for DVD and Blueray.
Encore transcodes the files separately for DVD and Blueray and once the transcode is done and status shows transcoded the options for transcoding are greyed out, this means you have already transcoded the file and you cannot transcode again without reverting to original.
For example you have blueray selected in project settings and you click transcode now from project panel the files will be transcoded for blueray, but after transcoding if for any reason you decide to change the transcode settings and transcode the asset again with different settings you have to revert to original.
But in this case when you want to transcode the assets for DVD you don’t need to revert to original and loose the transcoding done for blueray. You can change the project settings from blueray to DVD after that you will be able to transcode for DVD without losing the transcoded files for blueray.

Will a DVD-5 (HD MPEG-2 Encoded) play on my Blu-ray player?

Is there any way of checking that a 30 minute HD DVD recorded on a normal DVD-5 will play on a Blu-ray before you buy it?
I am thinking of getting a very cheap Philips BDP 3000.
I suppose I could always get the sales staff to agree to let me return it if it didn't work!

In Compressor, HD DVD means just that. It is referring to the obsolete format. Most of us would like to see that removed from the Final Cut suite; it just usually leads to confusion.
In compressor, you can create a new batch from template, select "create blu-ray disc" and it will do just that, with limited but nice looking menus. It will also create an AVCHD disc (Blu-ray structure on a DVD-5 or DVD-9) if you have a DVD-R in the drive.

Comment lire les DVD Blue Ray sur mac pro HELP ME

bonjour,
Je n'arrive pas à lire les DVD Blue Ray sur mon mac. dès que j'insère le DVD , IL EST automatoquement ejecté . Merci de votre aide
A bientot

Hi
Je ne parle pas Francaise at all - so I guess that it's about Blu-Ray .
I use Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl BD-component (now version 11) to do sort of Blu-Ray coding to standard DVDs - limit is about 20-30 minutes if quality is keept. It can also burn true Blu-Ray but then You need a BD-Burner and BD-disks.
The DVDs with BD-code needs a Blu-Ray player to be played - I use a PlayStation 3

Premiere Elements 12 -Only buring HD but really want standard DVD

My video project is made up of HD video footage; however, I need to burn to Standard DVD for distribution to a number of volunteers who are featured.
I have chosen DVD - Disc (both wide and standard) -- each time the video comes out in HD and will not play on standard DVD players or in the non-Blu Ray burner on my computers. I see no options in Premiere Elements 12 to override burning in HD.
I've never had the problem with previous videos using same software and computer. Although those were a different selection of blank DVDs.
Is there a solution or is it possible that I purchased blank Blu Ray DVDs instead of standard. There is no labeling left on my DVD stack of 100 (also nothing on individual discs) although the center ring is surrounded by a blue ring.
Is there any other way to tell if they are Blu Ray and not standard DVDs?
Thanks,
Bill

BillMMBill
There appears to be a basic misunderstanding here of the burn to options in Premiere Elements 12 in particular.
Please allow me to explain, and please excuse anything that I will write that you already know....
The regular DVD player will playback DVD-VIDEO Standard (4:3) or (16:9). Assuming a NTSC setup, that is characterized by
720 x 480 4:3 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second and 720 x 480 16:9 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second. When these are
the choices that you want, you use
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD
disc with Presets = NTSC_Dolby Digital (for the 4:3) and NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD (16:9)
You do not use
Publish+Share
Disc
AVCHD disc (which is a HD AVCHD format on a DVD disc....this will not playback on the regular DVD player....here you can expect
resolution of 1920 x 1080)
The only possibility for you obtaining what you say relate to you selecting AVCHD instead of DVD. Is that a possibility?
There is no Blu-ray DVD disc or ACVHD DVD disc; there is Blu-ray disc format on a Blu-ray disc, AvCHD format on a DVD disc, each differing from DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc.
As for DVD discs, 4.7 GB/120 minutes; 8.5 GB/240 minutes.
As for Blu-ray discs, 25 GB or 50 GB.
If you have a HD 16:9 project and you want to take it to a DVD disc that will playback on the regular DVD player, then you use
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD
disc with a preset specifically for NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD which is 16:9.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Toast 9 Blu-Ray FCE Codec setting?

Hello, I have been experimenting with the new Toast 9 since it can produce HD clips in Blu-Ray format on standard DVD+R's to work in a BD Player.
I have a new Sony AVCHD SR11 camcorder and import it into FCE4. I have tried several codec's but when Toast burns the disc in Blu-Ray it forces the the image to 4:3 from 16:9. I viewed the file and it plays 16:9 in Quicktime but the BD plays in my PS3 and my Sony 300 BD player at 4:3.
I cannot figure out what Codec to use in FCE4 and hope others have figured this out. The picture looks great played on a BD player except the image is squashed to 4:3
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply. It is 1920x1080 in QT. I was poking around in this forum and noticed guys were trying MP4 to play back on a Blu-ray player. I will have to try that out. So if I get this right, all that Toast 9 is doing is converting the file to MP4? I might have to do a little more research. I was hoping others were playing around with this.

Using Standard DVD clips in a Blue Ray production

A few questions -
Are there any tricks if I had a full HD project and I wanted to inset a few scenes from a standard DVD into this?
Also I have a number of DVDs I made with a good quality DVtape camera some years ago and wondered if there would be any benefit converting them to Blue Ray? The old DVDs look noticably better played on my Blue Ray player (HDMI 1900x1080) than on my old standard DVD player (component video) so it may be a matter of whether PRE's upscaling would be better than that of the player?
I still have the old source DV tapes so would be any better again to make a new HD project using this SD video and burn it to blue ray upscaled?
Or is there other software that will do this better?

What Steve said.
The only viable option for using SD (Standard Def) material in an HD (High Def) Project is to use a program to up-rez the SD DVD-quality, prior to Import.
One such program, that gets good reviews, is Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD, which is a plug-in for PrPro, but at the last time that I checked, was NOT available for PrE. I have not heard of anyone finding a way to use it, in PrE, but perhaps someone has.
There are other similar programs, and if one found a good one, that was either a stand-alone, or that worked from within PrE, that might be a good option.
Also, as Steve says, playing a DVD on a good, up-rezzing BD player, will improve it, and by an astounding amount, in my estimation. The up-rezzing players have specialized chips for the up-rezzing process, and they can work very well.
Good luck,
Hunt

DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 and Blu Ray

If I buy an external Blu Ray burner can I burn Blu Ray wedding videos from DVD Studio Pro or do I have to use Toast 9/10?

I want to stick with FCS but need the blue ray option.< </div>
We just don't have a solid grasp of complex BD production around here because this is the Final Cut forum. We've got some dabblers who, you've seen, have contradictory suggestions and their ability to asssit you is limited by their experience and your needs. If you're patient enough, some experts will drop by. But I wouldn't count on it.
If you need sophisticated BD output, you want to hire a BD shop. The economics might not appear to be rational until you evaluate what you will pay yourself to learn a new programming/authoring tool and buy a BD burner.
"Not being to go out for replication" implies the file structure from Encore or Toast is not compatible with the needs of the big duplication houses. You'd want to work with them carefully if you need their services.

Blu-Ray or HD DVD

I came across this interesting article on the Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD disagreement.
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000623059130/
I noticed the comment towards the end the Apple is on the Blu-Ray board, but DVDSP support HD DVD. So, which way is Apple headed?
Also, I wondered which format, it either (Blu-Ray or HD DVD)will work best with HDV? I would assume that Blu-Ray will support HDV well, since it's coming from Sony. (?)

I remember when betamax lost out to vhs in the consumer wars. But beta SP remains the standard for the world. And only now is it beginning to change.
I find it interesting and a little disheartening that all the real innovation in our business hardware-wise comes from Japan. It's the schools, darn it. Nobody here cares enough to actually get an education and go do something with it.

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.
