How to play unprotected Blu Ray discs on a Mac ?

Hi,
I own Blu Ray recorder from Panasonic (DMR BW500) on which I record TV.
I, then, can copy the shows on Blu Ray discs.
I plan to buy a MacBook Air + Blu Ray player/DVD recorder instead of the external Apple superdrive.
Will VLC read the unprotected Blu Rays ?
What if I use Windows ?

This is what I have. Works Great !

I want to play a BLU RAY disc in my IMac computer, is that possible?

Hi
NO - not as it is.
YES - if You buy a Blu-Ray player that can connect to Your iMac.
I use a PlayStation3 to view my BD-disks - but this don't connect to my Mac only to the TV.

How do I create Blu Ray Disc with DVD Studio Pro ?

Folks, I think that I'm in trouble... I created 3 HD projects with DSP (i do not have the tapes and fcp project anymore, neither the HDV 1080i mov file) and I need to be burned it with a Blu-Ray Media, and play it with a BR Player... So far I made the following steps:
1-) In FCP, I exported some Quicktime Movies with HDV 1080i60 codec (movie with chapters, menu bg movie, extras).
2-) In Compressor, I used the preset HD MPEG-2 19,0 MBPS for videos, and Dolby digital professional 2.0 for audios.
3-) In DSP I created a HD DVD Project (DISC window, GENERAL tab, DVD STANDARD = HD DVD; DISC WINDOW, DISC/VOLUME tab, DISC MEDIA = BLUE LASER, LAYER OPTION = OTP) with movies, extras, menus...
4-) In ADVANCE BURN (under FILE MENU) I chose BUILD.
5-) Now I got a HVDVD_TS folder, with my movie compilation...
NOW, my doubt is... The folder HVDVD_TS can be burned on a BR Media and be played on a BR Player ?
If not, what can I do with my HVDVD_TS folders to be compatible with Blu Ray ?
thanks a lot for any help.
Best Regards
Marcelo

That can't be done. Get the tapes back and start over. Get the new Toast in the tutorial I posted to make a Blu ray disc.
You could try this tool to demux the streams, transcode to QT then re-encode for Blu Ray but I wouldn't go that direction unless you know what your doing. You would also be encoding twice which is not good.
Get the original source back and go the toast route from the start.

How to create a blu-ray disc with multiple source files

Hello,
How is it possible to create a blu-ray disc, AVCHD recordable DVD with multiple source files from Final Cut Pro 10. Is it possible to create a menu with several chapters corresponding to the sequences (source files)?
Thank you in advance for your support.

Assume you're talking about using the Create Blu-Ray batch template. It's not possible to do with multiple source filles. But if I understand your objectives, you could pretty much get what you think want – discrete movie segments on a single disk with navigation.
The way I'd approach it is by making multiple projects in FCP and then copying the finished versions into a new project, separated by gaps. (You could also use compound clips but I'm not a fan except for very short sequences, which is why I'm suggesting the copy route.) Then export and bring into Compressor.
In Compressor mark your chapters at the gaps between your individual sequences. Then choose the AVCHD option in job actions.
Bear in mind that you'll have to keep the recording time under roughly 30-35 minutes @a5 Mbts/sec
Good luck.

You cannot use DVD SP to burn a Blu-Ray disc. But you can use the latest version of FCP to create Blu-Ray discs. There is a tutorial here;

Does Premiere or Encore allow me to play back blue ray discs on Windows 7?

Do I need additional software to play back a blue ray disc on Windows 7 when I have the Production Suite?

Yes. PrPro is not a BD "player," but a video-editing program.
There are several good ones available for the PC, and I recommend MediaPlayer Classic HC (free).
Good luck,

How do I burn a BDMV Folder onto a Blu-Ray Disc on my Mac os 10.8.3?

How can I burn a BDMV Folder to a Blur-Ray Disc on my Mac osx?
Do I need 3rd Party Software? If so, which one?
I built it in Encore CS 5
Thanks.

Mac OS 10.8.3

Hi John,
I'm having a little problem.
I have Toast 11 which burns ISO and BDMV folders. I would like to use ISO files for burning. Heres the problem.
In Encore it says I have 4 GB available on the disc. I went and exported an ISP file onto one of my Hard Drives and it came out to be 25.75 GB. Way over what Encore was saying.
I have a 2 and a half hour project as my main timeline and 9 menus.
When it transcodes as it's making the ISO file, does my 2 and a half hour timeline get bigger in file size?
Should I change the transcode settings in Encore for that Video file before I make it an ISO file?
Or should I re-encode my wedding (which is on a Premiere Pro CS 5.5 timeline) but set my Target and Max Bit Rates lower this time around knowing it will be bigger after I make the ISO File?
Thanks in adavnce for all of your help.

Can i play blu ray discs on my mac

Some people tell me I can and some are saying I can not. I can't find it anywhere can someone help?

The built-in drive cannot read Blu-Ray.
The software that comes on your Mac cannot play them even if the drive could read them.
But a third-party solution to each part of the problem is available.

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.

Blue ray disc players

I recently bought Vizio blue ray disc player and it has BD live capability. What type of cable do I need to access BD live on my blue ray disc and how do I connect the cable so that I can access the BD live content on my blue ray disc.

We received an Insignia blu-ray player for Christmas. I hooked it up to our Insignia widescreen HDTV and followed the onscreen prompts regarding setup (it's currently in 16:9 widescreen). However, when I play a blu-ray disc, it does not utilize the full screen--it's got vertical bars at the right and left hand sides of the screen. I did not select the "pillar-box" option and really am at a loss as to why the player doesn't utilize the full width of the screen. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Qosmio X500-10z - low sound watching Blu-ray disc

hi
to all who can help me,
i have bourght this fine computer and was told that is has amazing sound,
now i have reinstall windows 7 and all drivers - now when i play a blu-ray disc the sound is very very low. can this be right on a so expensive computer whit harman/kardon spekers ? or is something wrong. the sound is turned completly
to 100% . i use windvd to play bd.
wery best regards
hoffer

>now i have reinstall windows 7 and all drivers - now when i play a blu-ray disc the sound is very very low.
How to understand this? According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled WIN7 64BIT HOME PREMIUM. So I dont understand what have you done exactly. Have you reinstalled original recovery image? what was the difference in the past?
On my Satellite P500 (also with Harman/kardon speakers) I use Toshiba BD player version 8.0 DXVA B20.153. I have tested it 10 minutes ago and must say that sound could be a bit louder especially if there is no action and actors are just speaking but when there is a action the sound is OK. It could be a bit louder. Ive tested it with maximum sound level in player and Windows settings.

Blu-ray menu button made with dynamic link won't work on Blu-ray disc

Windows 7
CS6 cloud
Ok. So I used dynmamic link to my encore project and I also imported an mpg.4 as an asset for a separate menu button. I have two buttons on linked to the premire pro project and one linked to the mpg.4. Everything works fine in preview and the flow chart is fine everything is going where its supposed to go.
When I play the blu-ray disc the menu shows, the video thumbnails show...but when I hit the menu button that is supposed to play the premier pro video it does not work. But when I hit the menu button for the mpeg.4 video it does work.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Please post a screenshot of your flowchart.

Playing 3d blu ray on Mac mini

Hi,
In addition to my other question submitted earlier, can anyone tell me if there is any way of watching 3D blu ray movies on my Mac mini? I have it connected by HDMI to a 3D TV and have an external blu ray writer capable of playing 3D discs. Is there a bit if software which will allow this?
Thanks

There is now software to play Blu-Ray discs on a Mac, there is even one package which claims to support using the menu on a Blu-Ray. (The others still do not support this.)
See http://www.dvdfab.cn/mac-blu-ray-player.htm
There is still confusion and conflicting answers as to whether playing some of the sound formats of Blu-Ray like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD is supported. While the Mac hardware supports this officially Apple do not support it in OS X, it could be they are managing to pass-thru these formats via the HDMI unaltered, or it could be they are in real time down-converting them to DVD equivalent levels e.g. Dolby Pro and Dolby DTS.
However none of them as far as I am aware support 3D playback as this is down to the Mac hardware not supporting this.
Sadly Apple and the iTunes Store have fallen well behind in these areas, while Apple eventually started offering 1080p resolution videos, others like NetFlix are already offering 4K. Even in the content creation area - supposedly one of Apple's great strengths they still don't support H.265 aka. HEVC in FinalCut Pro X. It seems farcical that Apple built the new Mac Pro almost specifically for doing 4K video editing and yet they don't support the primary format that people are using to distribute 4K content.
