Bluray disc compatability

I have some questions about imovie and dvd burning. I made a HD movie and burned it to a blank bluray disc, using imovie HD, idvd and toast 7. The disc will play on my macbook pro but the disc will not play on the playstation 3. The playstation 3 reads the disc as a data disc. Does anyone know of a way of burning a bluray disc so it will play on the playstation 3?

Heres how I have done it. I made a Divx HD dvd and play it on my computer that will give you 720p HD. The other option is to run Parallels and Windows and run the Sony software that will record DVD in AVCHD. This will play on the PS3. You do not need to us your Blu Ray disc. The PS3 will play a standard DVD recorded in AVCHD in HD.

  • Comparing video quality of AVCHD BluRay discs using Final Cut Pro Share vs Compressor

    Up front, I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to using Final Cut Studio 3 and would appreciate some feedback from the Apple forum experts.
    I have spent a lot of time trying to determine how to achieve an optimum group of Compressor 3.5.2 settings so that the playback video quality of an AVCHD BluRay disc is equal to or better than one created by using the simpler auto settings of FCPro Share, version 7.0.2.
    When using Compressor’s auto/default maximum settings, I experienced the same error message reported in:
    Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12073794#12073794
    I have since made some Compressor AVCHD Discs with smaller bit rate settings and compared video quality with a single FCP Share AVCHD disc.  Both seem to be equal in providing a very good video when viewed on my new Panasonic DMP BDT 310 BluRay player. However, the Compressor AVCHD discs show some motion artifacts not present with the FCPro Share version, especially when scrolling text or when objects are moving through the field of view, and visible artifacts are seen from a stationary chain link fence and other lattice work in the background of the video sample.
    My sample video used for the comparisons between Compressor and FCP Share discs is a 21 minute duration home movie, originally captured from a mini DV, Canon HV30 1080i camcorder using ProRes HQ encoding(1440x1080), and dragged into FC Pro 7.0.2 timeline where 10 chapter markers have been inserted. 
    To create an AVCHD disc using FCPro Share, Markers are used to set the IN and OUT points, Select IN to OUT from the timeline, pull down File Menu Share, Select Create BluRay from options in pop out Share pane, and designate output device along with picture files for Background, Logo, and Title options. When these are completed, click on Export.  My 21-minute video required almost two hours for encoding including about 10 minutes for burning. This accomplished on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    To prepare this same 21-minute video for use with Compressor, I again Select IN to Out from the FCPro timeline, but this time use File Export as a QuickTime Self Contained movie including Chapter markers. Then Open Compressor, choose Create BluRay from Template pane, right click on the down arrow in the Batch window and load the QT self contained movie file. From there I went to the Inspector window and tried various combinations of bit rate settings along with Frame Encoder options such as Better or Best motion parameter controls.
    I have tried the following combinations of Bit rate settings along with varying Frame Encoder controls and burned an AVCHD disc for each example:
    Example A
    Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings OFF. Approximately 4 hours to encode although the time remaining estimator indicated a larger value of ~7 hours; not an accurate estimator at all. 
    Example B
    Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motionadaptive)” settings. Approximately 4 hours to encode, not the 13 hours that were estimated.
    Conclusion: Comparing A & B Compressor versions, Disc B showed some improvements in reducing motion artifacts over Disc A.
    Example C
    Compressor set to 13 Mbps Average and 15 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. DeInterlace was checked. Unknown hours to encode; about 8 hours done overnight..
    Conclusion: Disc C showed some minor improvements reducing motion artifacts over Disc B
    Example D
    Compressor Auto settings,i.e., 15 Mbps Average and 17 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. Approximately 12 hours to encode, done overnight. Inserted disc next morning after the overnight encoding was completed, and a few minutes later an error message pane appeared that the maximum bit rate had been exceeded.  This message was consistent with the Apple posted thread referenced above. Unfortunately the long overnight encoding was wasted.
    It seemed to me that the best Compressor settings for suppressing the motion artifacts were displayed by the disc burned in Example C, i.e.,  13/15 Ave/Max Mbps with“Better” Motion settings in the Frame Encoder.
    However, when this disc was compared to the AVCHD Disc burned using the FCPro Share, the latter still seemed much better. I do not know what the auto bit rate values are as set in FC Pro, but for me, the quality is quite good AND the motion artifacts are significantly reduced, especially evident with the scrolling text.
    Sorry about this long post, but I thought the detail would be necessary for the experts, and maybe helpful to others trying to get started in this BluRay arena.  Did I misuse Compressor?  I think the sample video exported as a self contained QT movie was the right thing to do?  Not sure where I went wrong.
    Thanks in advance for Feedback and Recommendations.  For now, I’m going to stay with the simpler process using Final Cut Pro Share function.
    BoBo

    Thank You, Brad, for responding;  glad to hear I'm not the only one having similar Compressor issues.  
    You may have hit on something.  Perhaps Compressor's use of H.264 encoding was the reason for my motion artifacts?  And perhaps Final Cut Pro Share retains the 1440x1080 quality as it burns the AVCHD BluRay disc?
    I had Toast 10 for less than 30 days a couple of years ago, and was lucky to get a refund.
    What version of Toast do you have?  Wondering if new Toast 11 has improved previous bugs, especially upgrading its Chapter text, pictures, music.  I would go back to Toast if it came close to mirroring DVD Studio Pro, or even iDVD capabilities.
    Thanks,

  • A workflow to burn AVCHD camcorder video and 5.1 sound to BluRay disc.

    A workflow to burn AVCHD camcorder video and 5.1 sound to BluRay disc.
    After weeks searching through many posts by the Forum’s experts with Final Cut Pro and Compressor, I have a crude workflow that seems to work for me, and might be of interest to others.  This information I couldn’t find in the Help files of either FCP or Compressor, and would appreciate feedback on other options. Thanks to the Forum contributors who have helped me with suggestions.
    I have successfully burned a BluRay DVD of the video and audio outputs of my new Panasonic AVCHD camcorder, that is, 1920x1080 video and 5.1 surround sound,  using Final Cut Studio 2  (FCP 7.0.2, Compressor 3.5.4.) on an Intel iMac with  OS 10.6.3
    Using AUNSOFT-PAVTUBE or CLIPWRAP, I converted the camcorder’s MTS files to ProRes 422 .mov files containing 5.1 six channels of audio.
    In FCPro,  set the Sequence / Settings / Audio Outputs to 5.1 Monitoring:
         L+R Stereo,     Stereo
         Center             Dual Mono
         LFE                Dual Mono
         Ls +Rs            Stereo
    Uncheck the “Downmix…to Stereo”  in Warning box that pops up when this step is completed.
    Drag the ProRes .mov file into the time line of FCP 7:
    The next steps are important for assigning each of the six audio channels to the Dolby 5.1 configuration (L, R, C, Lfe, Ls, Rs).  This step was new to me and something I couldn’t find in the FCPro or Compressor Help file manual. If anyone can reference a page number, I would appreciate that info.
    In the FCP time line, unlink the video from the audio channels (Linked Selection) in the upper right corner of the FCP time line.
    Select each audio channel, then right click in the area of the blank column near the padlock. Assign A1, A2, A3 etc to each of the audio channels as they fit the Dolby configuration ( L+R, C, Lfe, Ls+Rs) This process is kind of clunky and it may take patience to accomplish.
    The best Forum ideas that I could find for setting up the six channel audio came from the following posts which I credit for their help:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/9095726#9095726
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12525373#12525373
    In FCPro, Mark In and Out points, Select In to Out
    Under File / Share option ………Select BluRay job……then Select either “Export” or “Send to Compressor”
    (Note: At this point, the  Option Export which enables FCPro to burn a BluRay DVD, seems to work well, and the resulting DVD video and six channels of audio seems as good as that produced by the more complicated option of “Send to Compressor”……..which is described below.)
    If the Send to Compressor option is selected, Compressor is automatically started by this selection. At this point, do not Quit FCPro, because Compressor needs to transfer file data (or something like that) to Compressor.
    In the job pane of Compressor, will exist two targets, H264 for BluRay and Dolby Digital.
    I deleted the Dolby Digital and replaced it with Dolby Digital Professional Auto.
    Clicking any where in the Sequence 1 job pane (not in H264 nor Dolby target rows) will reveal the A/V attributes:
    Under the Job Action tab, select the BluRay unit that will eventually do the burning.
    Clicking on the target H264 for BluRay located in the larger Job Pane reveals the settings I chose:
    Clicking on the target Dolby Digital Professional (Auto) reveals these settings I chose:
    I left settings on the Bitstream tab untouched.  However the Preprocessing tab, I set the Compression Preset to “None”.
    I found that turning on the BluRay burner with a preloaded BD/RE is best to do at this time, or even better, to energize the burner at the time that the “Send to Compressor” function is activated.
    When settings are complete, select “Submit” in the lower corner of the Compressor larger pane and processing will begin, and a status pane indicating time elapsed and time remaining will appear. These estimates are not very accurate.
    I have found that my 1 minute test video was initially estimated to require about two hours of processing time, but actually required only 1 hour which is still unusually long. Based on my experience, be prepared for an  “overnight” processing to occur for longer movie durations.
    This is the part of the overall process I need to understand better:  How to estimate the duration to encode and burn 1 minute of video / audio?  This 1 hour duration for 1 minute of video/audio was the same whether I SHARE-Exported to FCPro to burn DVD, or SHARE-Send to Compressor option.
    Wondering if the encoding of the six 5.1 audio channels caused the lengthy processing(?).  Perhaps settings that I made in Compressor affected time to process and burn.
    Finally, I hope this poorly written process will help someone who has been looking for the same information as I had been. I would appreciate feedback from those who have already done this; what OS are you using, what hardware are you using? What software package have you tried.  And lastly, Thanks to all who contribute to these Community Forums, who take the time to detail their processes. You all have helped me to get this far.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I looked at a manual for a Samsung Bluray Disc player. They seem to have left out an important capability: the ability to choose a wireless network and supply its password.
    You may be able to use the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) capability, although that is said to be tricky between Apple and non-Apple equipment. Use AirPort Utility to put your AirPort Express into "manual setup" mode. Invoke the menu option Base Station -> Add Wireless Clients. Then follow the player's instructions for "PBC (WPS)". Use the AirPort Utility option "First attempt". The AirPort Express' status light will turn blue while it waits for a connection from the player.
    I have no direct experience with this. All the above information came from the electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network" (http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/airport-n).
    I have no relationship with Take Control Books other than that of a customer.

  • Sony VRD-VC20 Disc Compatibility

    Hi,
    My father has been using a VRD-VC20 for years to archive his television shows and has recently run into problems with disc compatibility.  He has always purchased DVD+R discs, either Sony or Memorex, without issue until recently when he tried a spindle of Sony, then returned it and got a spindle of Memorex, and neither set of discs was recognized in the device.  He was receiving the message "please insert a blank disc" (or something that effect) when he tried to record with either of these media.  He also found some of the older Memorex discs, and these worked correctly in the device.
    Since it is highly unlikely that two sets of 50 discs were manufactured incorrectly (he's VERY thorough and tried all 50 discs from both spindles unsuccessfully), does this device have issues with newer discs because of manufacturing differences from previous discs?  Since one of the media in question is actually manufactured by Sony, perhaps you can verify what might be different?  Can you provide guidance on what media is compatible with this device going forward, so I can avoid my poor father blindly guessing at Staples in the future?  Thank you!
    Sincerely,
    Kendra
    Solved!

    Hi Kendra,
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    This error will appear if you're using a disc that have been already recorded on other recordable drive that is not compatible with this drive. This will also appaer when you insert a finalized DVD+/- R or DVD-RW disc.
    Discs that can be used:
    In stand-alone operation, you can only use DVD+R (Single layer disc), DVD+R DL (Double layer disc), DVD-R (Single layer disc), DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs.
    Also, try recording from a different source and check if that helps. If the issue persists, I suggest that you get the DV Direct serviced. You can initiate the service request from the below link:

  • Bluray disc not recognised on HP Touchsmart IQ525UK, using Windows 7.

    I recently bought myself the above PC, & paid the extra £22 to get the upgrade to Windows 7.  I've now bought my first bluray disc, but when i put it into the drive, nothing happens. the drive doesn't even appear to 'see' it.  I didn't have the disc before i upgraded to 7, so i don't know if it would've worked on Vista or not.
    Any suggestions anyone? i really want to watch this movie, so any hints or tips you have would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey dianbrat, i too have almost the exact same issue (on an IQ505a) , except that I can touch the icon on the bottom right, and it will launch the app, but it takes FOREVER!!! Also, for some reason since upgrade to 7, the actual 'touch' function has gone! The screen beeps, but no cursor moves etc, have all the latteset downloads from HP, tried recalibrating, etc etc....alos read elsewhere to try PC TABLET INPUT, I can locate it in search but clicking on it does nothing.... thoughts? Suggestions? (Appreciated as I am going outta my mind trying to figure it out).... Cheers

  • Compressor: send mutiple jobs to same BluRay disc?

    I've made a few AVCHD discs using the new Compressor, but always with one job in the batch at a time. Is it possible to add other jobs to the same batch, each with the "Create BluRay disc" job action, and have them all burn to the same disc? Or will Compressor attempt to burn each one to it's own disc?
    JVK

    You can put as many jobs in Compressor at once as you want.  Only one per Blu Ray, though.
    I highly recommend getting Bruce Nazarian's "Fast Path To Blu Ray For The Mac" book.  Very inexpensive, will clear the whole Blu Ray thing up for you.

  • Optiarc BD 5500A doesnt read bluray discs anymore?!

    I've been having this problem for some months now...
    The reason i only start to worry now is that i had this problem once in the past and i got fixed after a few days (by itself!).
    So i was hoping the same would happen now and i dont watch that much bluray discs (i own a lot of dvd's, but not much blurays). So i waited and hoped it would fix itself like last tima but it doesnt ...
    The problem:
    Windows explorer tells me the drive is empty (while there is a bluray disc in the drive)
    Off course i cant play it in my player (because windows cant find the disc)
    When i put the disc in and close the drive, i hear the disc spinning for a moment and then it stops (probably because it cant identify it?)
    DVD's and CD's work great. Its only bluray discs.
    What i've tried:
    Deleting the driver, rebooting and resetting the bios.
    Deleting all DVD/CD/Bluray related software (mostly players and burn/backup software) and reinstalling.
    Didnt work!
    If someone has any more suggestions?
    I really need it for work! All the project files are on a bluray disc!!!!
    tnx

    Hello We recommend downloading the latest version of MediaSmart DVD SW and then even upgrading it withing the SW itself - Look for updates as required by new BLU Ray movies with new formats.
    WHat is the name of the BLU RAY movie you tried to view?

  • "Create BluRay Disc - Fails at end"

    I don't want to burn a BlueRay disc just yet, I just want to create the files which I will load into an authoring app on another platform.
    When I use the compressor BluRay Disc template it appears that everything worked until the very end when Comprssor complains that another application is using my removable disc drive. I can only hit cancel. It does leave a .H264 file that is exactly 3gb behind though. I haven't tried to test that file.
    What are the encode settings for the BluRay H.264 job so I can manually create my own template that doesn't attempt to burn the file?

    Sadly, no change after updating v10.8.5(combo). A normal boot with an attempt to "buy book" from iPhoto, gets almost to the end of the upload and then gives me the following error:
    In Safe boot, I get to the beginning of the Assembly process and iPhoto crashes. Here is a portion of the problem details:
    I compiled my book on Thursday evening, thinking that would be the painstaking part. Purchasing it has become too much of a time consuming adventure! I did call Apple Technical Support last evening and the service agent suggested that I check the Apple Support Community discussions, so thank you for taking a greater interest in my problem.
    One other thing I found regarding problems submitting photobook orders is at the bottom of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2516. An excerpt from this webpage is below, but I can't find the "NetServices" entry in my Keychain Access window to try this fix. Do you think this is a piece to my puzzle or simply old info as it was last modified on May 24, 2012?
    Again, I was able to order a photocard (cancelled the order within 90 minute window) as a test, so I don't believe I have an account problem.
    excerpt:
    If you are using iPhoto '08 or iPhoto '09 and are unable to submit your order after following the steps above, please follow these steps to reset your Keychain:
    Quit iPhoto.
    From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
    In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
    Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
    Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
    Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
    You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
    After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
    If you are unsuccessful with submitting your order, please contact Apple Technical Support.

  • I Can't seem to change the write speed when building a BluRay disc in encore

    I burned a Bluray project on disc and the video freezes after about a minute on each chapter, someone reccomended changing the BD-R disc brand and burn with a slower write speed (2x or 4x) But when I'm in the build panel, the destination section where the write speed section is blank and appears greyed out, so I can't change it. Can somebody guide me in how to fix this?
    I'm on encore CS5 running on a Mac 10.7.4.
    The Burner is a 12x LaCie D2 Blu Ray burner. Any suggestions?

    Hi Stan, thanks for the quick reply, I took your advice and did the build as an image and then burned the project at the recommended write speeds in Toast Titanium (10.0.9). The first burn was at 4x and the second was at 2x BD (an option in Toast) both speeds gave me the same result. It solved the issue with the freezing during disc playback, however, when I tried to navigate from chapter to chapter the disc, once again, freezes. Additionally, although it doesn't freeze during playback as with my previous burns, there's still slight skip at the same positions where there used to be a freeze.
    I'd be content at this point with the slight skip, but it's been one issue after another with these BluRay authoring projects. This is my first project switching from FCP and I've burned 11 Bluray discs on this project and still don't have a deliverable project that I can give to my client. Not what I was expecting from Encore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Burning BluRay discs

    Forty percent of my wedding and events videos have been shot and edited in HD. My clients would like the final project on a BluRay disc. I have only been able to produce DVD discs so far. Is there any solution from Apple for this growing problem?

    I would check on external FW or USB ones. However, since at present iDVD only outputs VIDEO_TS one can pretty much assume that a direct burn of "professional quality" and connected to an external drive won't produce BlueRay quality. I just wish I could get iDVD to work burning a conventional DVD... But hope is eternal that Apple will address the issue when PCs start coming out with em en masse...
