Does Yosemite support Blu-Ray disc and 4K playback on the iMac with a 4K player?

If I plug a Blu-Ray or 4K player into an iMac, will Yosemite support playback?  What additional software is needed and available?

It's hard to say considering Apple hasn't supported Blu-ray yet and the downloaded Blu-ray resources are really not what we exactly want. The most directly way is to install Mac Blu-ray player and Blu-ray drive. Macgo is the best now to support 4K Blu-ray and Yosemite.

    The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6.  Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.
    You will be able to update ACR, Photoshop and Bridge right there, if there are in fact updates available.

  • Does Apple support Blu Ray for video storage?

    I have heard conflicting reports whether Blue Ray discs can be used for date storage of video. If so, how are Blue Ray discs formatted on iMacs?

    We're talking apples and cigarettes here. I'm relying on information from the sales clerk.
    He says I can use the Blu-ray discs as backup for data. I buy. Go home. Make burn-folder. Insert disc.... Reject. Disk-pop out. Go on forum. Realize I bin had...take back to Retail chain. Give refund.
    But question I still asks is: smaller video companies need easy way to store HD quality video as data. Cheaply. And Blu-ray discs have that capability.

  • Premiere elements does not recognize Blu-Ray disc, says media not present.  Under 12 I was able to record 3 blu-ray dvds using the same burner and discs I'm trying with 13.  What is the problem?

    I installed PE13 and cannot burn blu-ray DVDs.  I was able to burn 3 blu-ray DVDs using PE12.  When I select DVD from the menu it recogniazes that it is not a stadard DVD as I get an 'incorrect media' error message.  It will burn standard DVDs of the same video using standard DVD mefia.
    What is going  on here?
    When I loaded PE 12 back on the computer I cannot load a file created with PE13.  Looks like a format change?  Can I convert file back to PE12?

  • Blu-ray discs and a HD dvd build

    I have read in other posts that it does not appear that a HD DVD(as opposed to SD DVD in the DVD studio pro settings) program can be burned onto a Blu-ray for TV viewing. First of all if anyone knows that this has changed please speak up. Otherwise my question is is the HVDVD_TS folder that DVDSP creates for a HD program a compatible folder with Blu-ray players(or HDDVD players for that matter). Assuming one can eventually burn a video program onto a Blu-ray can the Blu-ray players read the HVDVD_TS the same way that the Apple DVDPlayer does or set top DVD players read the VIDEO_TS folder.
    Also does anyone know if the Blu-ray players can read a BD-R at all.

    There are other Win options too but as Adobe are adding Blu-ray support I'm pretty sure at NAB next month Apple will add support too... Plus if you look here:
    http://www.nab.org/nabshow/Conferences/sessiondetail.asp?id=1205649
    It says tools for Next Gen authoring on Mac & Win... so lets hope dvdsp has a nice update and a solid SD Update. I'd like separate tools as always but we'll see what NAB brings.
    Remember Premiere & Co. are Mac again so I'm sure Apple has some FCS sh*t for their a$$ to launch in April we may even get new macs with internal blu-ray burners if we are good boys and girls...

  • IMac won't accept blu-ray discs

    My iMac won't accept a blu-ray disc when I insert it - the iMac spits it back out after about 10 to 15 seconds. I then tried a normal DVD and the iMac accepted it and started playing it almost immediately. Is it not possible to play blu-ray discs on an iMac or Powerbook? Are there any fixes?

    Hi guys,
    I in the same situation as Seattle Oz, in that I am thinking of buying an iMac and would like to use it to produce high-definition videos. I currently use a Sony VAIO VGN -- A R21S which has a Blu-ray disk drive. I am told that with the use of Roxio Toast, I can burn to a Blu-ray disc but cannot play it. I find it pretty incredible that a product that is renowned for video editing and allows you to produce a Blu-ray disc doesn't actually have the facility to play it! However that being the case, what does anyone else do, to produce HD quality videos and how do they export them, if not by Blu-ray disc. I would also like to know what format the output is in, when it is burned onto the Blu-ray disc.

  • Once and for all: Can DVD SP build Blu-Ray disc content or not?

    Maybe I’m crazy, but…
    Everything I’ve heard to date has Apple backing the Blu-Ray format. Believing this, I just spent $900 on a new Lacie D2 external Blu-Ray burner (which IS Mac compatible). I also purchased Toast 8 (which IS Blu-Ray compatible).
    All I need to do now is build my disc content (assign H.264 1920x1080 content, build menus, etc.) then drop it all into Toast and burn Blu-Ray video discs… right?
    So what is all this I’m reading here about DVD Studio Pro supporting the HD DVD format and not Blu-Ray???!!!!!!
    Am I going to be able to do this using DVD SP or not, and if not, can anybody tell me a program I can use to build my Blue-Ray disc content? (All of my HD content is H.264 (1920x1080) rendered directly from Adobe After Effects).
    My deadline for this project is fast approaching and I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on this. If I can build Blu-Ray discs and burn them on my Mac using Toast 8 and the Lacie D2, I’ll make my deadline and justify the $900 spent thus far.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks, SM

    Wait a minute,
    Maybe I don’t need to buy PC to run DVDit Pro HD. I have a Mac Pro! With Boot camp I have a PC! Any reason I shouldn’t try running DVDit on my Mac via the Boot Camp beta? That way I'd also be using my Lacie D2 Bu-Ray drive. And with Roxio's 30 day return policy I haven’t much to loose...
    I'm calling Roxio tech support. Let you know how it goes

    A LITTLE LATER:
    Just got back from digging into Roxio's discussion forum and here's what I found:
    I have travelled down the same frustrating path my friend!
    But I did succeed doing it all on my new mac Pro, finally...
    Install BOOTCAMP (free beta). Install WINDOWS XP ($269 from AMAZON). Install ULEAD BD RECORDER, which comes with DVD MOVIEFACTORY 6 (free trial, $80 to buy).
    BDAV worked well from SONY V1-U burning to MATSHITA BD-MLT SW-5582 and played perfectly in new SAMSUNG 1200 palyer on my 57" DLP.
    TIP - install BOOTCAMP et al on its own HD, and use NTFS... This will come in handy when doing a BDAV from a file such as HDV1080 that is larger than 4GB.
    To do BDMV, you'll need SONIC DVD-IT PRO HD ($499) which I have yet to try...
    Frustrating process, but kinda cool to figure it all out, especially when NOBODY in sales at any of these places seems to have a clue.
    So there you go - must be possible

  • Premiere Elements 12 does not recognize blank Blu-ray disc.

    I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 8 to PRE12.  Now when I insert a blank Blu-ray disc in the BR burner, I get a message "Media Not Present".  It does recognize the burner, but not the blank disc.  Yet when I open PRE 8, PRE 8 does recognize this very same disc in the same burner!  Also, PRE 12 can burn a blank DVD in this same burner.  The Blu-ray disc also appears as a completely blank in Windows File Explorer.  And this is a problem even after updating to release 12.1.  The Adobe chat representative tells me this is a know issue with PRE12.    I find that difficult to accept, since why would Adobe change in PRE 12 something that was not broken? What's the truth, and when and how can it be fixed?

    First, I tried uninstalling, register cleaning and reinstalling Premiere Elements.  This was a mess.  I kept getting error messages when trying to reinstall.  So I had to do a system restore to just before I uninstalled PRE.  After that restore, PRE would not open.  So I did another uninstall from Control Panel and reinstall, without touching the registry.  Then, I was back in operation, several frustrating hours later. But still the BR drive would not recognize Blu-ray discs.
    So then I loaded a BR-RE disc, instead of a BR-R, and still no recognition.
    Then I installed the external Blu-ray burner, and finally PRE12 recognized the blank Blu-ray disc.  I had a sign that this would work when I attached an external DVD drive to burn a AVCHD file, and PRE12 recognized the blank media, whereas it did not recognize any blank DVDs in the internal BR drive for burning AVCHD files.  As a alternative to borrowing an external BR drive to see if this fixes the Media not Present message, I suggest using a much more readily available external DVD drive and try to burn a AVCHD file first.  If that works, then one can be much more confident that purchasing an external Blu-ray drive will provide the solution.
    Yet I deeply resent having to purchase a $125 piece of hardware, which is otherwise useless to me, to fix a bug in a program.  The box promises the ability to export a Blu-ray disc.  Since their lawyers use the weasel word "compatible" Blu-ray burner required, I fully expect them to take the position that now only an external burner is "compatible", and do nothing to fix the compatibility with internal burners.  Potential buyers be forewarned!
    As an alternative to paying more money to make their software work as indicted on the box, one might want to settle for only being able to write AVCHD files to a DVD.  Most every computer (except Ultrabooks) has an internal DVD burner, which supposedly all that would be needed to burn this kind of HD file.  But first, we all need to know, will PRE12 return a Media not Present message when burning a AVCHD file to an internal DVD burner?  What are the field reports of any problems incurred doing this procedure?  Please advise.
    And one more question.  When I burn an AVCHD file to a DVD, the DVD is not finalizied by PRE12.  After burning the AVCHD file, the DVD shows free space available, but after burning a DVD Video, there is no free space available.  Moreover, ImgBurn does finalize DVDs after burning AVCHD files to them.  So Is this failure by PRE12 to finalize another bug?  Can ImgBurn now finalize an unfinalizied AVCHD disc left by PRE12 -- without having to run another session of PRE to burn to a folder now, of course?  If so, how?

  • What is my Mac and does it have blu-ray?

    I would like to know if my iMac supports blu-ray? It came out before the 2011 model and would also like to know what it is called?

    Steve Jobs said Blu-ray was "a bag of hurt" and he hasn't said anything else in regards to Blu-ray..Apple doesn't want to put a BD because they want to sell you movies from iTunes...

  • Problems Creating a Blu-ray Disc with a Main (Static) Menu and Pop-up Menus

    I'm having problems creating a simple Blu-ray disc containing a Main Menu (Static Menu with a graphic for my background) and a single Pop-up menu assigned to all of my timelines.  I wouldn't think this would be so hard to create but every attempt I've made ends up with the navigation getting all messed up to the point that my Playstation 3 doesn't even recognize that the disc as being Blu-rey disc.
    I want a simply static Main menu containing a "Play all" Button, and a button for each additional timelines.  Im also using the override commands on my buttons so if someone just chooses to see one specific clip from the main menu, they will be taken back to the main Menu after their selected clip plays.  But then I also want a Pop-up menu assigned to the timelines so the viewer can switch to a different clip (timeline) without having to go back to the Main (static) menu.
    My Blu-ray Disc runs just fine if I only use a static menu in a project, or if I only use a single Pop-up menu assigned to each timeline, but not both a Static Main menu, and pop-up menus.  I'm using CS4
    Thanks.

    it's just copying files to it, not video.  If you put a blank blu-ray disk in the drive, it may show up in the finder.  A program like Toast can burn a blu-ray.

  • Does the USB apple SuperDrive allow to burn blu ray disc?

    Apple USB SuperDrive support blu ray disc?

    No. You have to have an external Blu-ray recorder to burn Blu-ray discs.
    OWC have quite a few of them.

  • Partial Audio Missing on Blu Ray Disc

    I have a project that is approximately 90 minutes that was created in Premiere CC.  When I burn a Blu Ray disc for this project using Encore CS6, and subsequently play the disc in a Blu Ray player, the last 4-5 minutes of audio is missing.  It plays perfectly all the way through in Encore when I watch it in the monitor, and if I play the audio file separately on my computer, the entire thing is there.  I don't understand what could possibly cause this issue.  No matter how I transcode, MPEG2, H.264, etc. it still has the issue during playback on a Blu Ray device.  Any suggestions?

    Regarding Encore building a Blu Ray disc and having the audio quit part way through the video, I also have experienced that nasty problem.
    From reading the Ray Tisdale postings on this issue, I discover that I had a similar problem, and have discovered a resolution which I wanted to share, to help others experiencing this mystery (which I have no doubt there are).
    My project is 15 chapters of story, one hour 10 minutes total, a documentary, developed in chapters using Permier Pro in CS6. These were developed separately, exported to files separately, imported into Encore, then placed in sequence on a single timeline. This is how I am accustomed to doing it, having recently migrated to CS6 from Sony Vegas Pro 12.0/DVD Architect 6.0 (If DVD Architect did not blast the image resolution down to approximately VHS when producing DVDs, I would still be using it). The project in question was originally developed using Sony Vegas, but I could not get image quality up to decent standards (two years of messing around, debugging, dealing with tech support, and etc.), so I ported the entire video image for image and word for word to CS6, essentially manually remaking the entire video for the second time (a six month part time effort).
    Reading Ray Tinsdale's post gave me the clue as to what might be happening with my project. As a BD I would experience full program operation when Previewing and when burning a DVD, but a Blu Ray build would make a disc that started off fine - three complex menus with music and the first chapter working fine (audio and video) but part way throuigh the second chapter the audio just quit and stayed missing for the remainder of the video (images were fine, full BD resolution).
    No amount of effort would resolve the problem. Besides trying multiple changes - such as synchronizing file format of all audio, and innumerable other attempts at guessing the cause - this (requiring about two days of my time) included taking a brand new Solid State Drive, installing Windows 7 from distribution disc, installing all computer drivers, and only software necessary to run CS6 (including Encore), update windows (192 updates) and CS6, and all other software, and protect from internet virus (etc.). A computer as fresh new as it could be from the factory still produced the same problem when Encore made a BD disc. This effort narrowed the problem down to being an Encore problem. P.S. I had done the same with Vegas Pro to determine the image resolution was an internal Vegas problem, not my use of the program or details/settings of my project.
    On reading Ray Tisdale's resolution I revised my project to have 17 timelines (including two others besides my 15 story chapters - such as splash screen and etc.). Timelines are linked as necessary to play as if the chapters were sequentially placed on one timeline. After some brief and trivial debugging using the check project function, I rendered to a folder - discovering that the audio was not missing, although I was unable to get it to play as a BD disc from the folder. With this success I burned a BD disc and now I have a BD video with audio from start to finish.
    Although I now have a working video with audio start to finish (as I designed my documentary), there is an annoying pause between chapters as the BD player shifts between files (each chapter/timeline is built into a separete file and linked as specified). From my DVD Architect experience I know that the only resolution to this (pause between chapters when playing on DVD or BD player) is to produce a single rendered output file combinining all chapters in Premier Pro, then to render it as a single huge output file (requiring an equally huge amount of time - this was 12 hours with Vegas Pro, and I have not yet tried it using PP). When the single huge output file is imported into Encore and placed on one timeline chapter markers are inserted at appropriate points, so that navigation menus can function as designed.
    Now, I suppose that I am better off than with Sony Vegas. Both have extraordinarily annoying and mysterious deficiencies and bugs (which the program vendors will not admit) and extraordinarily annoying problems. But at least with CS6 I get good quality video images.

  • Blu-Ray disc freezes for half a second between chapters

    I'm brand new to using Adobe for video editing.  I just finished my first Encore CS6 project, it's been quite a learning experience.  I have a 40 minute video with 18 chapters that I edited in Premiere Pro and exported for Blu-Ray as a single sequence.  Encore still insisted on transcoding it, it was irritating to have to wait but it worked. I created a simple blu-ray menu with a chapter index with 10 items per page created from a chapter playlist.  The first play is the first page of the menu, and each chapter plays sequentially.  There are no end actions on any of the chapters, they are intended to play sequentially starting from any chapter selected in the menu.  Encore said I have an oprhan timeline, but I don't see how, since it's my only time line and each chapter points to it.
    I built a Blu-Ray disc and it works great except for a half a second freeze in audio and video as it plays through each chapter point.  I built a DVD from the same project and it does not have this issue but its video is jerky during movement such as a scene where I'm panning the camera to follow an actor.
    The export settings from permiere were:
    1920x1080, 29.97 fps, upper
    VBR, 2 pass, Target 25.00 Mbps, Max 30.00 Mbps
    PCM, 48 kHz, Stereo
    I found several threads that seemed to be similar to these issues going all the way back to Encore CS4, but I haven't found any solutions.
    So to sumarize:
    I have four issues in order of importance:
    1. Blu-Ray freezing briefly as it plays through chapter points
    2. DVD has jerky video in higher motion scenes
    3. Transcoding what should already be Blu-Ray ready video
    4. Orphaned timeline that doesn't seem to affect anything
    Any suggestions?

    I wanted to test a possible issue with the freezes, but never got to it. Sorry you did not get any responses.
    The bluray should not freeze as you go through chapter points on a timeline. The fact that the timeline is an orphan is curious. You might post a screenshot of your flowchart.
    What version of Premeire are you using to create the exported files?

  • Can my Mackbook play Blu-ray discs?

    Recently I bought a LG Blu-ray drive, but all my blu-ray discs did not seem to work even with Blu-ray drive. I tried Powerdvd,and it can not be compatible on my Mac OS. Is there any good Mac Blu-ray Player?

    There's this one. You'll find at least a couple of others under different names, but they're all by the same company. The only real difference between them is the looks of the control bar.
    It's kind of expensive because you're paying the license fee on the built in codec so it can read and decode the movie for playback. You also have to be online when watching a commercial Blu-ray movie as it does some sort of authenticity verification of the disk.

    I am sorry to say that you cannot play Blu-ray movies on any Mac. Whether any of us agree or disagree with this, it is the way of things currently. One can rip Blu-ray movies to a Mac, and play them without menus or extras, but this is illegal and it is a violation of the terms of use of these forums to discuss.
