Blue Ray Player Burner

I was wondering if anyone had been able to use an external Blue Ray player on their MBP? If yes, what brand, where was it purchased and does it work well?

External (or internal, for that matter) BluRay drives do work with the MBP, but for data only - and that requires 3rd party software (i.e. Toast). You cannot play 'commercial' BluRay movies on your MBP.

Blu-Ray player won't burn a disc. Error Code "0"

Hi all, haven't made the jump to CC so we are using CS6 for everything.
I just recently installed a SSD and deleted/fresh install of the CS6 suite onto the newly wiped internal HD. Everything works perfect, except Encore.
Encore is refusing to burn to a DVD. I have been using CS6 since it went public and I have never once had this issue for a Blu-Ray or a DVD. Now, it won't even recognize that a disc is in the burner. It keeps saying to put in a DVD or a Blu-Ray DVD, hit OK etc. I do this, repeatedly, to no avail. Now I have tried creating a Blu-Ray Image which works perfectly fine. However I couldn't get that Image to burn succesfully to a blu-ray. Now it burnt without an issue, (using windows default burner which may be the issue), but when put into the blu-ray player it is just a black image with no menus or anything.
Back to Encore, It will trans-code the files without incident, it's when it goes to the burning session it will not accept any disc I put in. This is for both a Blu-Ray and a regular DVD. I keep getting Error Code "0" or simply, "insert a blu ray or dvd media disc an hit OK". Occasionally I got "Adobe Encore Failed" and that is it. Not sure what to do. I've been trying to burn since this morning.
I gave in and bought Nero 2015 just now in the hopes I can burn the blu-ray image correctly. Do I have any other options as this needs to be done today as I have to be an event tomorrow.
Thank you!
Jason

Adding to that, I am not getting the message "The Device Is Not Ready" and you can hit Retry and endless number of times with no results. Or just cancel and then it says Building Failed. Thoughts?

How would I edit and burn HD 3D home movies at 1080i/60i to a Blu ray player on an iMac?

I own a Sony HDR-TD30V HD 3D Camcorder and would like to edit and burn my 3D home videos (1080i/60i) to a Blu ray capable of playing on a home blu ray player or PS3 using iMac software.

Well, you won't be doing 3D with Final Cut Express! (With FCE you could edit 2D filmed with your camcorder @ 1080i60 but not 3D.)
For that matter, Final Cut Pro X doesn't even handle 3D out of the box. But there is a third-party plugin called Stereo 3D Toolbox that works with Final Cut Pro X.
As for BluRay, you will need an external BluRay burner and software that supports it ... like Roxio Toast Titanium.
Also, I noticed that your profile says you are using OS X 10.6.8 - I strongly suggest upgrading to 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mt. Lion) before investing in FCP-X and other video software.

HT204370 If I buy a movie on iTunes and burn it to a DVD can I get to to play in a DVD/Blu-ray player? I haven't had much luck trying to do so.

No you cannot.
You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer. You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

How to burn full hd clips onto dvd-r with Blu-ray burner to playback on a set top Blu-ray player?

hello,
Blu-ray media is still expensive for exporting of small HD projects.
If i have a Blu-ray burner,
can i burn BD exports onto DVD-r's (4.7Gb)
and play them in a set top Blu-ray player?
aka: Does a DVD-r accept a 'blue laser'?
(Menus at this point are not necessary)
Mostly i am wanting to burn 3-4 minute music videos onto DVD-r discs
in full HD Blu-ray without having to use an expensive Blu-ray disc each time.
thanks
j

hello,
at this time the answer is yes
they are called BD5 and BD9 discs
the BD5 is a single layer DVD-r disc that holds BDMV
the BD9 is a dual layer DVD-r disc that holds BDMV
now i'm trying to see if Encore CS5 burns BD5/BD9 discs?
thanks,
j

Creating a HDTV disk playable on Blu-Ray player - possible?

I want to distribute movies created in iMovie and exported in Quicktime HD (.MOV) format by burning them onto a Blu-Ray disk suitable for viewing the video on standard Blu-Ray disk players like my LG BD270 Blu-Ray player to view them on HDTV. I purchased and setup an ASUS Blu-Ray writer, which my iMac (Mavericks OS) recognizes. I'm using Aiseesoft's Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac to convert the .MOV file to a file format suitable for viewing on a Blu-Ray disk. I've tried two file formats: 1) HD MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4) and 2) HD H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video (*.mp4), Everything seems to function properly. However, when I try playing the Blu-Ray disks on the Blu-Ray player, i get the spinning CD symbol for a moment that turns into "DATA". There are four icons that appear. The video icon is greyed out. Most frustrating. Perhaps I'm missing a step or using the wrong format???
Any ideas?

It turns out that the Blu-Ray disks were properly written. The problem was due to the fact that the Blu-Ray player used was not capable of handling the new file formats. Playing the disks on a modern Blu-Ray player showed no problems. Thus the combination of Aiseesoft's Blu-Ray Ripper for Mac and the ASUS Blu-Ray Writer works with my iMac.

New Blu-ray player and DVD-R media... strange problem?

Hello,
So, I have a sample disc that we made last year with various clips on it. To the best of my knowledge, everything has worked just fine. Now, I have a new Sony Blu-ray player. I put our sampler in, and one of the tracks does NOT play the audio. Plays the video, no audio. Inserting the same disc into our other players and the audio plays with the video just fine. Grab another sampler from a different build/burn. Same EXACT issue, on the same exact video track there is no audio but the disc works in all other players. Now here is the real kicker- take either sampler disc and play it in the Blu-ray player, go to the track that plays the video but no audio, play it for a few seconds, then rewind and play from the beginning, and you get sound. Jump back to the chapter index and choose the clip, no sound. Rewind & play you get sound.
Anyone want to give my any ideas as to what is going on?
Mike
For what it's worth, the project was edited in FCP, Compressed using Compressor. I don't specifically know the exact settings, but I typically use VBR with an average of 6 or a CBR of 5. I always use AC3 audio. DVDSP authored the disc. I usually keep my systems up to date, but the disc was authored last January so I would have been using whatever the latest system updated in January were. And finally there are two builds of the disc. The 2nd build has DVD Rom content added to it. But either build has the same exact issue with the same exact tack.

Not Really. Try using another batch of discs. Author the project over again..maybe it will help.

How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

Hi
Part of it - in my way of doing is
Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
• Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

PAL versus NTSC will both play in a US blu-ray player/HDTV?

I'm sure I could test this and find out, but I'm sure someone has a quick answer. If my assets are 720 X 576 I have heard that Encore re-sizing will create some quality issues. Would I be better off just editing this in Premiere Pro and Saving in the same 720 X 576 format, burning it to a 25 gb Blu-Ray disk in Encore and then playing it in my Blu-Ray player as is, or would this not work and the asset would have to be re-sized to 720 X 480?

Hi.
A few things.
1 - PAL BluRay is frankly a mess. you cannot use 25p, only 50i and support is sporadic as it just is not in the BluRay specs.
2 - For universal BluRay, you must use either 60i, 30p or 24p for it to work on US/Japanese players.
3 - 720x576 is not BluRay spec - it is SD. Whilst you can use 720x576, it is not recommended as few players will cope with this.
You definitely do not want to scale this (upres) in Encore. Or PPro. It will look like a dogs dinner.
4 - Converting from PAL to NTSC involves more than scaling - the frame rate has to be altered from 25 to 29.97 (30 actually, but we're not talking about timecodes & drop/non drop frame counts now )
It needs to be done properly - Jeff Bellune has a superb tutorial on acheiving this with open source software at http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php
Hope this helps

Trying to use a Blue ray player on my iMac...

I own a sony blue ray player that i am trying to use as my dvd player on my 27 inch imac. I have a mini display port to hdmi cable that is supposed to work. It is plugged in but when i press the command+f2 button either nothing happens or i get a beep. What do i need to do to make this work?

Hey Scottfromnorthport,
Out of the box you can burn and read Blu ray Data discs.
I'm guessing this is not what you are after.
I'm guessing that you want to watch Blu-ray Movies.
OSX does not support this natively how ever there are 2 solutions.
VLC 2.0 has basic Blu-ray support it can be found here VideoLAN - News
Mac Blu-ray player found here http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Which ever route you go down. It's not quite as seemless as you would hope.
It still feels a bit clunky. and needs a fast processor although you should be good.

Blu Ray player for W500?

Hi -I have a W500 (4058 series) that I would like to put a blu ray player in. The one on the Lenovo site (43N3230) is rather pricey @ 1200.00 (buy hey, there's free shipping!). Anyways, are there other models I can search for that will work in my W500? Thanks- Ron

There is someone on eBay selling them for $675, but that is still high for my taste.

There is a different FRU that I think (but cannot guarantee) would fit for $249

There are many solutions for watching BLU-RAY MOVIES on MAcs.
One is to download Bluray for Mac ... with a blueray player, this little player plays most bluerays perfectly.
You can download a trial for free here: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Second, You can get a program called MAKEMKV and use it in combination with VLC PLAYER to convert BLU-Ray to MKV format or STREAM from LOCAL NETWORK FAST to watch Blue Ray Free!!!!
GET MAKE MKV here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34693/makemkv
And VLC PLAYER HERE: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2139_4-10210434.html?tag=mncol;tx t
There are videos on YOU TUBE to show you how to use MAKEMKV and VLC together.
Also, I just purchased a SAMSUNG Ext. SLIM Bluray writer for under $100 that works great for playing and burning Bluray Disc!
Good Luck
