HP HDX 16 Blu-Ray discs will not play!

I have researched this Blu Ray issue for days without a real solution. I am running Vista and notice many people feel upgrading to windows 7 was the issue, but I do not believe it is since I am still on Vista, with the same Blu-Ray disc issuey here. Also I do not have Itunes another popular fix. I did upgrade all the drivers I could and all the software I could from HP but did not resolve the issue. I can play regular dvd discs but not the Blu-Ray ones with the exception of 1. Surprisingly it is a newer one also. Updating the Media Smart has also caused a problem with not being able to use the keyboard light at the top to open the dvd drive. (one problem at a time though.)
The DVD Lightscribe drive shows as: HL-DT-ST-BDDVDRW CT10L ATA Device
After years of this issue being a problem does anyone have a real fix solution? Or Does the Blu-Ray player need to be replaced and with what.

PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
Thanks in advance!

Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.

My Blu Ray player will not play pictures from my USB a second time

I was able to play it no problem a first time, but when I went back a few minutes later to run through the pictures stored on the USB a second time, the screen goes blank, player says Stop, and I'm brought back to the home screen.

Hi Rivyn,
Welcome to Sony Community!
It would be best if you provide us the model no. of your Blu-ray player, for us to give you an accurate solution.
Thanks!

CD/ Blu-ray Drive Will Not Open/ Function Correctly

My CD/ Blu-ray drive will not open. I can force it open with a paper clip and put in a disk that way but it does not activate and read the disk. The drive also does not appear as a file selection under my hard disk drives section of my computer.
With this I am assuming my optical drive is broken so I tried looking for a replacement. I searched for the name of the optical drive in the HP PartSurfer and it says it is called SPS-DRV DVD SATA BD Combo 12.7. Just to be sure, is that the correct part I am looking for? If so, and say I were to go ahead and order this part, how do I go about removing the optical drive in my labtop and replacing it with the new drive?

TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player not compatible with USB speakers

I have a P850, using Logitch Z305 USB speakers. The speakers work fine with all other multimedia software such as WMP, iTunes or MPC, but not with TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player. The Toshiba program either won't work or will crash if the speakers are plugged in. Is anyone aware of a way to fix this?
Thanks

This Logitech speakers are plug and play device that uses standard driver and are installed as any other plug and play device. I dont have it but I saw interesting movie on You Tube about it.
To be honest I dont understand why it cannot works with TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player. I think you are the first one who has reported about this issue.
Problem is that Toshiba doesnt support third part software or hardware so it is not easy to find solution for this.
I really hope there are other users who have fixed it or can offer some useful tip for this pretty strange issue.

Blue Ray Disc Won't Play

I insert a blue ray disc, It starts the HP MediaSmart Player and then comes up with an error message stating:
Information
The content is protected.
The content is not allowed to play in the current display mode.
The computer is only a month old and has never played a blue ray. its plays regular DVD just fine.
Any ideas what the problem coould be?

Hi,
It seems that your PC has old version of MediaSmart installed, and it does not get updated from Cyberlink (Who created PowerDVD too).
Please follow the steps given below to get it resolved.
Click Start->Control Panel->PRograms and Features. Select MediaSmart DVD and click Uninstall. Uninstall PowerDVD too.
Install MediaSmart New Version:

Or
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50778.exe
If it does not work, install Trial copy of PowerDVD:

DVD-R discs will not play on DVD Player

The DVD-R discs I made will not play on DVD Player Version 4.0.
I transferred VHS to DVD-R using an RCA VHS/DVD Recorder. The discs played well in 3 different DVD players but will not play on my i-book.
Please help?
New At This
i-book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

In a nutshell the problem is the fact that the Software used by the RCA recorder is for PC.
When recording DVD's the software that is available varys greatly.
Some of the top of the line software gives options to burn PC only, MAC only, and PC or MAC combined.
It was also brought to your attention to use VLC Player on your Mac the firmware that is used with this player will sometimes allow for playing DVD's that were burned on these VHS to DVD Burners.
Here are a few tips that affect reading and writing DVD. This link is only a small amount of what can and does affect, I suggest you do a Google search to learn all you can.

Blu-ray Disc size not changing.

I followed adobes workflow for final cut to encore cs4 by using compressor to create and MPEG2 Elementary stream Blu-ray file.
now when i take the file (20GB) into encore the blu-ray project and my disc info always says 28 GB. I am trying to trim the end of the video so that the file would be smaller on the disc. I can do this fine with SD DVD's but in the blu-ray even if I make the timeline with only 5min of footage it keeps saying 28GB.
is there something I am doing wrong?
The file says don't Transcode.
I am new to Encore and so far my experience hasn't been great with all the times its been crashing during importing assets and the "General Error" popups.
I am using CS4 with the latest patch

I'm not really the most qualified to answer your question. Since the obsolescence of DVD Studio Pro and the ability to program menus and Steve Jobs saying that BD is a "bag of hurt" and Macs not directly supporting BD, there's been no point for me getting involved with BD creation. Media players (like Roku) will win (IMO.)
Does the disc you made at least play from your Samsung burner?
AVCHD discs are playable on blu-ray players and your final file size is small enough to fit on a regular DVD-r disc. Have you tried just making an AVCHD disc on DVD-r?
You can actually burn blu-ray directly from FCPX OR you can create an AVCHD disc (just select the appropriate Output Device from the Settings tab in the Share dialog.) Simply Share to Blu-ray (you might have to Add Destination from the Share popup menu.) Does burning directly from FCPX make a difference? (I'd hate to have you sacrifice a 25g disc though... that's why I'd suggest trying the AVCHD disc first.)
[I'm sure other people have had better luck, but I have never had a Sony product that I could recommend to anyone. From old CD players to HD TV, everything Sony I ever bought turned to junk... except maybe one of the walkmans which I only keep around for extended blackouts (like hurricanes). After the TV, I finally learned my lesson. I would suspect the players as faulty before suspecting the disc as a coaster especially if it plays from the Samsung burner.]

Project in PRE10 will burn as blu-ray but will not burn as DVD.

I created a project of still images in PRE10 with the NTSC-HDV-HDV 1080i 30 settings. I burned the project as a blu-ray and it turned out great. I tried to burn the same project to a DVD and it goes through the encoding process fine. However, when it gets to actually burning on the disk it completes about 5% and then abruptly finishes saying the burn is complete although no files are written to the DVD (it is still blank). The same thing happens when I try to burn the project to a folder (no files are created). I have created other projects with this setting and am able to burn to either blu-ray or DVD. Any ideas on why this happens?

As your Blu-ray results are good you must have large scale images in your project. What are the pixel dimensions of your still images?
Your project is High Definition 1440x1080i, whereas DVD is Standard Definition 720x480. This means that PRE has to scale down the images. Unfortunately PRE is not too good at downscaling and can choke the program.
This tips & tricks article has a lot of information about this issue: Large Still Images into PE - One Workflow.
That article, at 111 items, is rather long. In a nutshell though it recommends still images be scaled in photo editing software to the target size - 720x480 in your case or, if you want to do some pan & zoom, around 1000x750.
So for your particular case you should resize your large images. If you do this in exactly the same proportions as your HD project images you could then replace those in the existing timeline with the smaller and perhaps your project will then complete burning.

Burned discs will not play on home stereo

I have recently discovered that since December of 2009, all the discs I have burned of my iTunes purchases do not play on my home stereo CD player (Sony 300 disc jukebox). They still play on my Mac G5 desktop (OS 10.4.11) with iTunes v9.1. Discs I burned before December 2009 still play on my CD player. What's strange is that if I put the disc in my iMac Intel G5 (OS 10.6.3) and reburn the disc on that machine, they do play on the CD player. Also, discs I can burn on the G5 desktop with Toast play fine. Was something changed in iTunes around December, 2009 that would affect my burning in this way? Thanks for any input...

Did you accidentally select a data CD or an MP3 CDin your burn preferences, instead of an Audio CD?

CD-R Disc will not play with photos of sons graduation

Hello,
We were given a CD-R disc by our son's kindergarten teacher which is a slide show of pics taken throughout the school year and I am having trouble being able to open to view. It is formatted in powerpoint.
Any ideas as to how I can view this?
Thanks,
Brett

It is formatted in powerpoint.
Use PowerPoint or Keynote (or some viewer that will view PowerPoint presentations)
Or have her give it to you as a QuickTime movie - or as a PDF - or just give you the photos

DVD/BluRay disc will not play

I'm guessing this is a hardware issue, but could be wrong. I own a hp dv7 1260us. It's been with me to Afghanistan and back. For a while now I've noticed it's slow progression of imcompatibily with movie discs(DVD/BluRay), data(software) works fine. What might be the problem? Drivers for the disc drive say they are up to date. Should I it 7 on there instead ov vista? Or is there a work around that won't cost me money legally?

Hi,
How many time did you change zone on the player ? This may also cause the problem too.

Do iMac (Intel) play blu-ray discs?

before I back-up stuff from my DVD recorder onto blu-ray discs, will they play on my new iMac (Intel) ?
Also, given the comparative lack of availability of blank blu-ray discs, does this mean people are favouring other means to back up material they wish to archive on their DVD recorders; and if so, can someone recommend them (specifically for Panasonic DVD recorders) ?

Apple does not make an Apple-branded BluRay player, but just about any USB BluRay Player will work on a Mac. It will plug and play. All drivers are already included with Mac OS/X.
Apple's DVD Player software does not work with BluRay, so you will need a third party app to use as a player.
Here is a good article from MacWorld which covers some good options.

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.

TS3495 My recent blu ray purchase did not come with a digital copy disc as others have in the past, and no place in the case for one to be either, just came with instructions, so now what?

My new blu ray disc did not come with a seperate digital download dis, now was there even a place for one inside the case, it came with instructions of how to install I tunes, then magically I would be prompted to enter the promo code and have it, no such luck, so now what?

Have you actually followed the instructions?
Did you enter the promo code?
If you did, were there any error messages?
