Burning Blue Ray Disks!

ok so im proberbly going to look like a total retard but i recently got an application called Toast and it said tha ti can burn blue ray disks! i personally disagree as i dont have a blue ray burner! im correct in thinking this right?
i have a 20inch iMac 2.0Ghz
please dont mock me heheheh xD

In other words are you saying that the OS must be able to support Blue Ray in order to read the media reliably. Reason I chimed in is I have a Lacie D2 blue ray drive and it burns blue ray discs (single and dual layer) fine, but now some of the discs won't read. Some of them will read when inserted but most of the dual layer discs/some single layer discs aren't recognized. I'm using the discs for archiving. Let me know your thoughts...thanks!

  • Burning Blu-ray disks.  Third party hardware needed?

    I have read from earlier posts that it is not possible to burn Blu-ray© disks from DVDSP. Can third party hardware be purchased to burn such a disk having assembled the digital assets in DVDSP? Any recommendations?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your responses. I see that from DVD SP Late-Breaking news that'HD DVD projects authored by DVD SP 4.0.3 fully comply with the 1.0 version of he HD DVD specification...the new HD DVD standard. The disks will play on Apple DVD Player version 4.6.5 or later.
    I haven't commited to the Blu-ray© player, just the Sony HD camcorder.
    When the time comes, I will burn to a red laser disc per the Apple recommendation. And thanks for the Roxio link which makes it clear that a PC is needed for Blu-ray©

  • Device error when burning Blu Ray disk at 96%

    Very simple program to use so far. Just drag and drop.
    My current project was shot in HD 1080p about 2 hours or 13 gig long and I made 4 lower resolution DVD's no problem.  I like how it shrunk it with out me having to do anything other than check the box (use space available)
    However when I went to make Blu Rays in addition to taking about 18 hours its gets right to the end and spits the disk out unfinished and has device error at about 96% of burning finished. Disk will not play.
    I have ruined 3 blank  4x blu ray disks so far, same result.  I have down loaded and installed the 8.01 update, I will turn off the screen saver and anything else I can find, before I try it again.
    Its a new computer with only PE8 running on it.  Quad core Gateway with 8 gig ram and a almost empty 1tb hard drive and LG blue ray writer.
    I have not tried to burn anything else with the blu ray writer, as thats what PE8 was for.
    I did not have the timeline fully rendered before I started, if that makes any difference.
    Anybody have any ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry I'm a newby. I'll put this is PRE 8 where it belongs.

  • How to burn Blu-ray disk from Encore?

    My project was shot and edited in HD. The camera was a Sony AX2000 1920 X 1080 60i the highest resolution for the camera. The project has been exported to Encore (CS5.5 Production Premium)and is on the timeline there. How do I get in touch with "Chat" to get phone help to go from where I am to burning a Blu-ray disk? When I try to email Adobe Help I am routed round and round back to same place and I can never find anyplace to send an email to Adobe to ask a support question. When I click on "Help" from Premiere Pro or Encore the explanations use frequent links to videos elsewhere for explanations and none of the links are functional! Why is that? I can't find an explanation online or in Adobe's Classroom in a book or anywhere. I would appreciate some links to videos explaining the process or some basic instructions. Thank you.

    Encore also has a very active forum too: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general

  • Burn Blu-ray disk?

    Can I burn a Blu-ray disk on my Apple desktop without buying a special burner? I can burn regular DVDs, and view them on my laptop but not my Blu-ray player.  I only want a couple DVDs from our son's wedding.

    No.
    You can only burn standard DVD's and  they should play on a BluRay device.
    You must be burning a "data" DVD as they will only play on a computer. Use iDVD to create a DVD.

  • Won't Burn Blu-Ray Disks

    My brand new HP 16X SATA Blu-ray Writer (AR482AA) in my brand new z800 quit writing to Blu-Ray disks after just 12 disks. It did continue to write to other DVD/CD media, just not Blu-Ray. There is no support information to be found -- anywhere!!! (HP, are you listening?) So I was forced to fix it myself.
    Tried different BR disks, uninstalling Roxio Business 10 and reinstalling, searched for system driver and firmware updates as well as non-existent information from all avenues I could think of. Sought out anomalies in the registry and looked for A/V, OS, and other updates corresponding with the timing of the failed burns.
    The only thing I found was a Windows Defender update that loaded just a couple of minutes before the BR burning failed. That may or may not have contributed to the failure. No way to tell as unfortunately, the update "cannot be uninstalled." Couldn't find any corresponding information at Microsoft as well (Microsoft, are you listening?)
    However, I was able get the Blu-Ray burning again, just not sure if it is realy fixed or if it will reoccur. The solution was to go into the device manager and uninstall the Blu-Ray drive (but leave the Roxio installed). Then, simply restarted and let the system find and install the BR drive again. Everything works great...for now....from a 5 minute fix.
    Sure would like to have that day of my life back!!!
    Note -- OS = 64-bit Ent. Vista

    I am also having problems with my new Hp pavilion dv6. It will burn the disks but at poor quality. I can't get my samsung blu ray player to play it at all. The video plays back on my Hp dv6 but is broken up. Is this the problems you were having? I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if its Hp's problem. I have taken video with my Sony HD camcorder and am trying to burn the movies onto blu rays. I have been using Verbatim BD-R 25GB 6X Blu rays. Any help would be great!

  • Burning blu-ray disks with Archgon

    I have a HD camcorder and create home movies of my daugher with FCP X. I have an iMac (late 2012 model I think).  I recently purchased the Sea Tech Archgon blu-ray writer super drive with the intent of buring blu-ray disks for the grandparents.  The instruction manual for the blu-ray player states "Please purchase and download appropriate blu-ray playback software for Mac OS".  My questions are:
    1) When I plug in the drive, no icon appears on the desktop.  There is power to the unit because it allows me to open and put a disk in.
    2) Do I need to purchase Mac Blu-Ray player just for the iMac to see the drive before I can burn any blu-ray disks?
    3) I don't intend to use the drive to watch any blu-ray movies.  This is strictly for making blu-ray disks that can be popped into a regular blu-ray player so the grandparents and other relatives can enjoy the home movies.
    4) Is FCP X an appropriate software, which I already have on my computer?  It allows me to create DVD directly from FCP X, but when I tried to do it from FCP X, this drive does not come up as an option.
    5) I also have Titanium Toast and purchased the blu-ray upgrade.  Then I save the file from FCP as a master on the computer and attempted to burn the blu-ray using Toast.  Again, this drive does not come up as an option.

    1. Any external burner will only become recognized once you insert media. If you plug it into the Mac and launch Toast, it should show at the bottom of the Toast window. You can choose it and control the drive with Toast - open tray, close tray, insert DVD, etc.
    2. No.
    4. Not sure re. blu-ray, but try to export it as a .mov or Video_TS folder, then drag either into the Toast window. That is how I proceed using iMovie and/or iDVD. (I only use FCE for special effects/layered intros, etc., export at best quality settings, then use those with iMovie and/or iDVD). You do need software (Toast is best because of the blu-ray plugin) to burn to DVD.
    5. Again, the drive should show up at the bottom - see screenshot (mine is only showing my internal Superdrive; once I attach my external burner, both will show up):

  • Can I burn Blue Ray Disk?

    I would like to buy an external Blu Ray Burner. Can I use iDVD to burn Blue Ray. I have the latest iMac 7Cor. Thank You.

    iDVD only authors/burns DVD discs.  For Blu-ray you'll need Toast or Adobe Encore.

  • Can't burn Blu-ray disk image because get error message, "The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1012.) What does it mean?

    There was an error creating your disk image. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1012)

    I don't have a background image. I called Apple and they had no idea what that error number meant. I deleted preferences for FCPX still didn't work, then delted all preferences and set up a new user. It now works. Apple has no idea what is going on.

  • Can Leopard burn blu-ray data disc?

    Leopard defines types for Blu-ray discs in the header for the disc recording service.
    Can Leopard burn a blu-ray data disc?

    Since no Mac ships with Blu-Ray drives built-in, there's no automatic support for Blu-Ray.
    However, there are several third-party applications that support burning Blu-Ray disks, including Toast.
    Many after-market Blu-Ray vendors ship a copy of Toast with their burners (after all, what's the use of the burner if you can't write data to it? )

  • HT203477 After i burn my project onto a blue ray disk and play it some scenes have bright silver lines flickering around the edges of some items on screen

    After I burn my project from from FCPX onto a blue ray disk, in some scenes ther appears a flickering silver line or edge to some items such as aroiund faces or buildings etc

    Precise information on your  workflow together with a possible "photograph" of the problem  would help with diagnosis.

  • Burning speed for Blue Ray Disks (Elements 11)

    Hi,
    is it possible to reduce the burning speed for Blue Ray Disks ? (and how)
    I believe that Elements 11 always use the maximal possible buring speed of the inserted medium.
    Background: my BD player (Bang & Olufson TV with integrated BD player) is able to read/play a maxell BD-RE 25GB (1-2x) i burned. Unfortunately I can not play a burned Verbatim BD-R 25GB (6x) - only sometimes he play parts of it. Both mediums i burned with the same content, from the same file ( xxx.prel) and with the same parameters.
    Thanks for informations and your answer.
    Wolfgang

    This is not a feature of Premiere Elements.
    To get this feature, you'll need to use a third-party program, like the excellent DVD Architect Studio, a $39 download from Sony Creative Software.

  • Burning Blu-ray from FCP?  Seems I've encountered a glitch.

    Followed these instructions (Ken Stone):
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/burn_br_mac_superdrivestone.html
    Only difference is instead of using SD disks as instructed in those guidelines, I'm using actual Blu-ray disks with an external Blu-ray burner. The external drive is turned on and plugged into my mac and I chose it as the burning device (meaning my mac recognizes the drive).
    Well, the export process finished and it didn't prompt me to insert a blank disk for burning, but it left the Blu-ray and AC3 file in my desktop.
    How can I take those files and now create a Blu-ray disk? Is that something I can do from FCP or Compressor? I'm kinda stumped.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Ha... yea, it was a total blonde moment on my part (I have blonde hair and I have the moments frequently... haha). BUT! The question still stands! Because the drive wasn't plugged in it didn't burn the DVD, it just saved the video and audio file to do so. So is it possible to get them back in somehow to burn the disk w/o having to go through the LONG export process again?
    Fortunately, I guess because it didn't recognize the drive, FCP actually turned it into a disk image. I found that file this morning in my 'Movies' folder. I was then able to open Disk Utilities and burn it that way. I'm the proud new father of my first Blu-ray disk! Needless to say, the results are STUNNING. I'm totally blown away.
    I'm gonna mark this as 'answered' because I found the disk image... but just for the heck of it... I'd still like to know if there's a way to get the BD file and AC3 back into Final Cut, should I not be so fortunate to get a disk image again in the future.

  • What do i need to burn blu-rays?

    Hello everyone. I'm new to Final Cut Pro, and Macs in general, so please bare with me. I'm a film student, and recently purchased a Canon XH-A1s and a Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro 6 to jump start my video production business.
    My only problem is that i only have the ability to produce HD video, so when it comes to distribution, DVD is really not an option. I've heard with an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7 that you can finally burn Blu-Rays without a third party application, just wondering if that was true.
    I was planning on upgrading to Final Cut Pro 7, and purchasing an external, USB Blu-Ray read/write drive. Should everything work ok if i go down that route?
    Thanks everyone,
    -Billy

    The Mac does not come with a Blu-ray burner. So you would be burning a Blu-ray compatible file to a standard DVD-5 or DVD-9. Neither of which are ideal for authoring Blu-ray content.
    Do an exhaustive search online about Blu-ray authoring and disk creation. This is not something for the hobbyist video creator (and I say hobbyist in the sense that you're not creating thousands of copies for mass distribution, so no one take offense.)
    Blu-ray is expensive and requires a lot of planning and prep to do it right. But you can't burn an official Blu-ray disc on a Mac as they stand. And, Compressor doesn't burn discs, it only creates files. DVD Studio Pro would be the app that would burn the Blu-ray disc, and DVDSP has not been upgraded since long before Blu-ray came on the scene.
