Can we Play the Blu-ray on the latest Macbook Air?

There is some way available for playing Blu-ray on iMac, what you need is a external BD drive and Mac Blu-ray Player, is the way also apply for the Macbook Air?

Now Mac still can't support Blu-ray, but the way to do this is almost the same, an external or internal Blu-ray drive plus Blu-ray player software. Both can be found on Amazon

sorry OGel thats not what I'm asking and your half right about apple not supporting Blu rays and I quote " At a software level" but hardware its fully compatitable and the mini display port is technically able to push out the Res and Hz thats needed for 3D.
BUT can it put out the single of frame packing so my 3D projector picks it up as a 3D sources
AND has any one done this with other apply hardware not including mac pro's
Thank you

How do I play a Blu Ray DVD on my MacBook Pro??

I am trying to play my Twilight (shh, I know, I know, it's a guilty pleasure ) BluRay DVD's on my MacBook Pro - but, it's not playing, nothing is coming up. Anyone know how to play BluRay on a MacBook?? Is it even possible?

You need an external Blu-ray player (the built-in SuperDrive does not support Blu-ray) and a Blu-ray player (such as http://www.macblurayplayer.com/promotion.htm or http://www.bluray-player-software.com/ or any, really). Then you can play Blu-ray discs on your Mac.

HT1539 If I have a digital copy of a movie that came with the Blu-Ray will the digital copy be full HD, 1080?

I bought the Toy Story 4 disc Blu Ray so it came with the DVD, Blu-Ray and digital copy. I downloaded the digital copy but it didn't come in full 1080 HD. Can I get the digital copy in Full 1080 HD?

You can't without the code.

HT201272 I typed in a digital copy code to get Rise of the Guardians on here because I bought the blu-ray, but the digital copy won't download no matter what I do. Why won't it download? Right now I am very angry for not getting the digital copy.

I purchased Rise of the Guardians on blu-ray, I typd in the digital copy code that came in the case, the ituns extras downloaded, but no matter what I do, the digital copy of the actual movie won't download. Why won't it download? I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing works, it just simply does not want to download.

Ok, a new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians started downloading automatically at no extra cost, I admit that I was thrilled, but now my happiness is gone because the new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians simply won't play. Nothing works with it except for the iTunes extras again. I'm getting really tired of this. Why won't it play and why give a digital copy if it refuses to work? Please someone help me out here!

How can i play music on my ipad via my macbook air?

Hi all,
A few months ago my wife convinced me to ditch my *cough* Windows PC *cough* and I converted to Apple.
I am a very happy disciple these days, but still have a lot to learn
I have an iPhone 4, my wife has an iPad 2 and I also have a MacBook Air. I would like to store all my music from my iPhone on my MacBook Air and my wife wants to do the same with the music stored on her iPad 2. Both the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are running out of storage.
Is there any way we can store our music on the MacBook Air and play the tunes via my MacBook Air on my iPhone and my wife's iPad when we are in range of our wireless signal? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

I purchased a blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code for a digital copy. I redeemed the code on iTunes but the download has been continuing for 2 weeks now and it never finishes! The time just keeps going up. Never an issue in the past.

I purchased the blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code to redeem for a digital copy. I redeemed the code in iTunes and the movie downloaded fine, but the "EXTRAS" have been downloading for 2 weeks! Everytime I launch iTunes it starts the download again and the counter keeps going UP, at one point it said it would take 3 weeks. I have paused and restarted the download, I have deleted the download, nothing works to finish or stop this download! Does anyone have a clue what's up?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Can't connect wireless blu ray player

I've been using verizon DSL for about 5 years now. I have a Versalink 327W that was provided by Verizon. I've been pretty happy with the service, experiencing only a few glitches that were easily fixed. But I haven't been pushing it hard. I have a couple of desktops both wired to the Versalink by ethernet. The versalink provides internet access to the two computers, and file and printer sharing as well.
Now I have a problem. I recently bought a Sony Blu Ray player (model BDP-BX57) with built in wireless. No matter what I do, wireless connection fails. I've ruled out SSID and WEP key problems. The Blu Ray sees the Versalink with its SSID, and can't connect even if I set the Versalink to open. For what it's worth, if I plug the blu ray into the versalink with ethernet, that works, and I can access the internet.
That solution won't work for me in use. I need wireless.
Reading various entries in this forum and other places, I see that some people need to update the firmware in their Versalink. Do I need to do this? Is it going to help? Am I just going to have to upgrade my router/modem or my DSL service later on?
Also, looking at the steps needed to update the firmware, it looks error prone to me. What's my fall back if things go wrong due to either my error or Verizon's? I don't want to be without service for a long time while Verizon gets me a new router/modem.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This problem has been solved.
The solution turned out to be to upgrade the firmware inside the "Residential Gateway" (aka router/modem) provided by Verizon. The gateway is a Westell 327W of the A90 vintage. The firmware it contained didn't work for wireless connections.
After finding a Verizon site that provides firmware for downloading, and satisfying myself that this site was on the up and up, I finally ventured to download and install the new firmware. if you are interested in downloads from Verizon, start at download.verizon.net and navigate your way to the download you are loking for. There may be a link from My Verizon to this download area, but I sure couldn't find it.
The firmware is now at rev 4.04.03.00. And the gateway now supports wireless connections.
Thanks for all your responses, and a special thanks to some contributors to old discussions in dslreports where the solution was outlined.
The next problem to deal with is going to be slow speed. I'll start a new topic.

My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

If you can find such a thing. I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.

That would depend on this adapter.

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger. This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs. How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?

Thanks. I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players). It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe. Would you please show me the way?
The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter. What is the RF no. (under Constant Quality) meant? It seems that the smaller the no. is, the better quality will be. What is the optimal no.? or should we use the Average Bitrate? Again, what is the best rate? Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur? I have read Photoshop. Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.
And maybe another forum member will jump in and help us here!

Where is the Blu-Ray Option in Final Cut Pro 10.0.6?

I used to be able to burn Final Cut Pro timelines to Blu-Ray. I downloaded version 10.0.6 today and the Blu-Ray option is gone. Where did it go? Final Cut Pro X is of no use to me without the option to distribute on Blu-Ray. Burning to DVD which I still can do is not good enough.

It's still in here, just not in the fast menu.

Where is the Blu-ray processed movie?

Howdy.
So I bought a 6X Samsung USB external Blu-ray drive (the MCE Technologies 12X internal wouldn't work, so I sent it back). I'm rendering out a 2-hour long 1080p movie right now via the Share:Blu-ray option in Final Cut Pro X. It's been 7 hours now and it's 95% done with the render. It hasn't burned the disc yet. So this leads me to wonder where this movie is that is being rendered? Anyone know where this file is located?
If I select Share:Blu-ray again, will it just burn a copy, or will it have to go 7 hours again processing it? I was a fan of DVD Studio Pro (before Apple realized selling movies on iTunes was more lucrative than giving people the tools to make their own discs) and once you rendered it in DVD Studio Pro, you could just burn the same image over and over. Can Final Cut Pro X do that?
Any tips from anyone who has experience doing Blu-ray is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Scot

OK, so I found what I think are the two files (.264 movie and the ac3 audio) on the hard drive the project is located, Final Cut Projects:Project Name Folder:Shared Items
It's in the Shared Items folder.
It's burning now so I don't know if I can burn these again, but I'll post it here if I find out. FYI, a 2 hour Blu-ray movie is 18 giges video, 400 megs audio.

Render settings for Blu-Ray in the UK

Hi all,
Bit of a newbie question regarding render settings for Blu-Ray. If I understand correctly, the uk frame rate is 25fps???? And we generally have 1080p TV's etc??? The Blu-ray presets in Media encoder don't offer this and the fact they don't makes me question if I'm not understanding the required settings correctly. ME does offer a 25fps preset but only in 1080i. So, my question is, what should I be rendering to, to then take the rendered file and author it to play on UK blu-ray players. Incidentaly, does anyone have any recommendations on authoring software. I just need to break it down into several seperate categories as well as being able to play the entire movie so the budget is minimal.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm using Mac Blu-rayRipper Pro and iMedia converter as well as Handbrake to get the highest quality transfer from my Blu-ray disks to iTunes and AppleTV. Each disk is a bit of a project as no two are the same in terms of the best method of conversion.
I've put a few details in my blog post on getting Blu-ray to work on my Mac Pro in the UK. Was a bit of an epic journey in the UK as we don't have all the options available in the USA:
http://www.theapplechap.com/TheAppleChap/Blog/Entries/2010/6/20Getting_the_most_out_of_Blu-ray_on_aMac.html
I also posted a short series of articles about getting the best possible movie conversion in iTunes covering subtitles, metadata and SD-HD tagging. May help so here's the link (to the first one, there are 3 in my blog):
