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.

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©

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? )

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!

I have buy a new HP 8560W notesbook, but I can not play Blu-ray disk?
I can not see on HP homepages there is some other disk to buy?
Shall I do anything speciel for play Blu-ray?

Yeah if you do not have a Blu-Ray drive....no Blu-Ray but the spec page for your model says they all have at least a Blu-Ray reader.

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.

Can PE9 burn Blu-ray files to DVD?

I do not have a Blu-ray burner and do not anticipate getting one for a year or two. I was not able to burn or copy Blu-ray files in PE7 and ask if it can be done in PE9. I did download the trial version of Sony Vegas HD Movie Studio Suite and was able to burn the Blu-ray files to the hard drive and to a DVD; that DVD played brilliantly on both Samsung and LG Blu-ray players. I have a lot invested in Premier over the years and would prefer to upgrade.
The machine is 2.67ghz dual core, 4gb of RAM and a 500gb RAID 0 hard drive with more than 175gb free.

Lots of other posts on this subject in this forum
Yes it can - but
My first attempt played on other players except my new Pioneer player. (Full HD)
The video on the disk was perfect on my computer.
I copied the file produced on the Blue Ray disk and used a simple authoring program (PowerProducer that cam with my burner) to burn another disk.
This plays perfectly in everything.
The only thing I can think of is that my LG player can write at 8x but I only had 4x blank disks (they are much cheaper). PE9 does not have any speed setting so perhaps the "grooves" werent burnt deep enough??
or the name of the main folder on a PE9 burnt disk is different - maybe my player did not like it??
I have a similar computer setup to you except you definately need at least 2 hard drives. The video on one and the project on a second one.
You need a good fast video card for HD smooth preview, not just the one on the motherboard.
Also look at recent posts on memory settings for resources.
I split my raid up to 2 seperate disks and installed a third large disk for video capture files
OS & PE9 on C
Video on E
Project and adove cache files on F
LG computer burner is available for around $100

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't Burn Blu-Ray

I recently filmed a wedding, edited in Premiere CS5, and encoded to MPEG-Blu-Ray (.m2v files). I created a project in Encore CS5 and clicked Build when I was ready. After it built the menus, it tried to begin the burn. However, before it began, I received a "Blue-ray Error device not ready Code 3 note AS storage error -97060" message. There is hardly anything online about this. I have a Pioneer BDR-206 12x burner, and am using Verbatim 25GB BD-R discs. I also tried some Optical Quantum 25GB 4x discs, with the same error. I then updated the firmware of the burner. The project is only 14GB. I've heard that having long file names can sometimes mess things up, but all mine are less than 10 characters. I also tried building a blu-ray folder, and burning that in Nero 10, but still got the same results. My guess is that it's the burner, but I can successfully burn DVDs with it. I've also used the same verbatim discs successfully. I can't even do a disk error check in windows, because of a non-descriptive error. I wish there were more on this error in the manual. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Some reading that MAY help
As well as the below, right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems
To create a dual layer DVD (or BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

Can i burn blu ray data?

so ive read that mac doesnt support blu ray natively. but it CAN burn and read blu ray data (not natively) correct?
im about to get a panasonic UJ240 as an external so i can swap the drive back and forth with my PC as well as take it mobile with me and would like to know what I need to be able to burn discs with my macbook pro (snow leopard). ive read that toast does it, anything else as that software is super expensive. Something simple like Burn? I know burn doesnt do it.

You will need to buy an external Blu-Ray drive, since your iMac doesn't support these disks.
OWC has a selection of Mac-compatible drives.

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.

I wasn't able to burn a "folder" to a regular DVD, but only the .iso.
