Okay Sorry I also wanted to know WHY no Blu Ray discs work in that player. Regular DVD dics work in there.
One of the 2 items is the issue:
A: The BR laser section of the drive is dead, it's not the same as the DVD laser
B: The version of the HP DVD software you're using is not recognizing the BR discs, this is almost always solved by using the latest version.
You can also eliminate or confirm B: by using a trial of another product such as Total Media Theater, but do NOT use any Cybermedia products since they are the OEM for HP.

  • 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.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.

  • I have a MacBook Pro and someone has inserted a mini disc in the disc drive and I can not eject it or even get it to read, How can I remove it?

    Sounds like to me that you have a bootcamp partition with Windows and have the default Windows to boot first.
    I think there is a Windows Control Panel or other setting while your in Windows to set the OS X as the first boot option.
    Also in OS X there is a option under the System Preferences to set OS X as the first boot option.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th generation and have tried to connect it to my Sony BDV-E970W blu-ray player. The player does not recognise the iPod. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th gen player and cannot connect to a Sony blu-ray BDV-E970W player. Sony system does not recognise the iPod. Do I need to link the Sony to the net and upgrade the software on the dvd player?

    As the other replier said, contact Sony. It may not be compatible with the iPod.

  • I have a late 2013 27" iMac, can anyone recommend a really good external blu-ray player?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a stock late 2013 27" iMac and I'm looking to purchase a really good external blu-ray player. I would prefer a Samsung USB 3.0.
    Thanks!

    There are many solutions for watching BLU-RAY MOVIES on MAcs.
    One is to download Bluray for Mac ... with a blueray player, this little player plays most bluerays perfectly.
    You can download a trial for free here: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
    Second, You can get a program called MAKEMKV and use it in combination with VLC PLAYER to convert BLU-Ray to MKV format or STREAM from LOCAL NETWORK FAST to watch Blue Ray Free!!!!
    GET MAKE MKV here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34693/makemkv
    And VLC PLAYER HERE: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2139_4-10210434.html?tag=mncol;tx t
    There are videos on YOU TUBE to show you how to use MAKEMKV and VLC together.
    Also, I just purchased a SAMSUNG Ext. SLIM Bluray writer for under $100 that works great for playing and burning Bluray Disc!
    Good Luck

  • What is the process for connecting ethernet.  Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left.  Note Airport wireless is working.

    What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet?  I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player.  The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message.  The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it.  The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet.  Thank you.  /  cfpirate 

    It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
    After restarting, it worked.
    Thanks!

  • Blu-ray Has Won The War

    Now that Toshiba has given up on HD-DVD, I wonder what will happen to Blu-ray prices. They have to get cheaper for Blu-ray to become popular, but without competition, it may be awhile. Anyway, at some point, FCX users will finally have a way to output our HD content.

    "The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) recently reported that sell-in indicators for Blu-ray products are proving more positive than even the most optimistic sales forecasts and market analyst reports.
    "We have good reason to predict that this Q4 sales period will see the Blu-ray Disc revolution take hold in US mainstream markets and we will witness strong sales performance in every other geographical region," commented Victor Matsuda, Chairman of the BDA Global Promotions Committee.
    "The 30 September release of Iron Man is another good example of Blu-ray's growing impact on movie releases. In the U.S., for the week commencing 29 September, the BD release of Iron Man is the best-selling movie of all packaged media (including DVD) on Amazon.com."
    "At the IFA exhibition in Berlin last month, renowned media industry analyst Jim Bottoms (from Futuresource Consulting) predicted that in the US, Blu-ray Disc would end 2008 in an unassailable position as the next gen home entertainment packaged media format."

  • How to convert Hi8 to iMac? Have 2 video cameras: Sony CCD-YRV98 video Hi8 and Panasonic SDR-SW20 digital video. Please provide the steps to convert to iMovie '11. Also, is there a way to burn in blu-ray?

    I already have two video cameras. One older (Sony) in Hi8 and the less older one (Panasonic) which is digital. Between the two can it be accomplished to transfer the Hi8 video on tapes to iMovie?
    I have the newer iMac 21.5" and also would like to know if it is possible to record this on blu-ray. The iMac didn't come with iDVD, which means I have to get that uploaded. Any other suggestions?

    Sony Hi8 camcorder
    No it is an Analog Camera - and have NO Digital-Out
    I may be made a Wrongful assumption in that the - Panasonic digital camcorder - was a Digital 8 Camera.
    If it is - it has a Digital Out (FireWire) and can playback the Hi 8 tapes from the other Camera.
    If it is a miniDV Camera - it also have a FW-out (Digital out) - BUT can not play Your Hi 8 tapes.
    Then there are not so many ways to do this.
    If Your Panasonic digital camcorder - Has Analog in RECORDING ( not all have this, it was an EXTRA Cost ! ) - Then You can playback from the Hi 8 Camera to this and record onto a miniDV tape - to be played and Captured/Imported into Your Mac.
    The Panasonic digital camcorder - Might have a feature - Play trough - that makes it possibly to use it as an Analog - Digital bridge - some can do this - But You've not told the exact type/no: etc - So I can not guess.
    If this still do not work (The Panasonic digital camcorder do not have an Analog in connection/function)
    - Then You need an Analog/Digita Converting box - from Hi 8 to this A/D-box then to Mac via FireWire.
    There are several types and prices - I got a fairly expensive box due to that I've lot's of old VHS tapes in even bad quality. And this - Canopus ADVC-300 - has a function - Timebase Correction - that helps a lot in regard to drop outs and Audio slowly going out of sync. I just keeps perfect even over several Hours of VHS-tapes.

  • Has anyone burned 1080p blu-ray discs using Final Cut Pro alone?

    I am in the market for a new computer. Currently I am a PC user who has burned Blu-Ray discs using Pinnacle. I am dissatisfied with that software because it hangs and crashes at critical moments in the rendering and burn process. I am considering switching to Mac but will only do so if I can burn true Blu-Ray movies which are playable in an ordinary Blu-Ray player.
    I have read some of the discussions on this board and it is not clear to me whether it is yet possible to burn 1080p Blu-Ray discs playable on any Blu-Ray player using Final Cut Pro alone. Can someone confirm for me whether they have done this? Some users have indicated they can only output 720p using Final Cut Pro (which is not very satisfying). Others have indicated it is necessary to use Adobe Encore. If you have to use Adobe Encore to burn, why use Final Cut Pro at all? Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?

    David S. wrote:
    And yes you can author single track 1080p blu ray discs with Compressor 3.5.
    But that's not what the OP asked, "using FCP alone."
    Why not use Adobe Premier Pro for editing and Encore for burning?
    Well, why not just put CS4 on your PC, especially considering you already have the BD hardware?
    There is no truth to the rumor that applications running on Macintosh are any more stable than the same apps a PC; all systems crash.

  • I have the older rounded airport and want to connect it to a Sony Blu-Ray via a LAN cable. Is that possible?

    I have the older rounded airport and would like to connect it to a Sony blu-ray player via a LAN. Any thoughts?

    I assume that your Sony Blu-ray player is network-ready and has an Ethernet port ... correct? If so, there shouldn't be any reason why it couldn't be connected to the LAN (opposing arrows) port on the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to gain network/Internet access.

  • I have internet service on iMac but cannot get connection for Blu ray with airport express.

    Why am I not getting internet connection for blu ray on tv with airport express?

    Which exact model of the AirPort Express do you have?
    Did the Blu Ray player connect wirelessly to the Express before or has it never been able to connect to it at all?

  • How do I have Blu-Ray pop up menus linked together if I'm using multiple timelines?

    I have a 6 timeline project that I put in pop up menus for.  Each timeline asks for it's own pop up menu to use.  The pop up menus seemed to need to be created with the multiple chapter option to work for me, I couldn't create stand alones and link them together because the timeline asks for ONE pop up menu associated with it.  I then created 6 separate pop up menus (each one ended up with about 3 pages) one for each timeline.  I tried to link POP UP MENU1  to POP UP MENU2 with a NEXT button at the end of the last page of POP UP MENU1.  When I drag the whip to link it to the proper pop up menu when I actually look at the button the link is the current pop up menu not the one I want it linked to, so I am unable to do this.  The pop up menus function properly on my Blu-Ray player- If I am viewing material from timeline 1, I can pull up POP UP MENU1 and arrow back and forth to the three pages on this, POP UP MENU2 functions the same way for timeline 2.  etc.
    Project Settings:
    Blue Ray
    720 X 480
    EncoreCS5
    Quad 4
    2.4 GHZ speed
    150 GB free space on drive
    NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 card
    6 GB Ram

    First of all, the pop up menus can not be linked to each other.
    If you want, you can have more pages on a single pop up menu and link all your timelines or chapters to the buttons of the pages and then link that pop up menu with more number of pages to all of the timelines. In this way, you can have the option to navigate to any chapter of any timeline while any timeline is playling.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • Has a stop marker any function when burning blu-ray discs with Premiere Elements 12?

    Stop marker when burning blu-ray discs with Pre 12. Does it works?

    Amiral
    No.
    This applies to Premiere Elements any version.
    Stop markers placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc are not recognized at playback of that disc using the Blu-ray player.
    If you need Blu-ray disc with stop markers, you can export your Premiere Elements Timeline content to an appropriate file type that will be compatible with a 3rd party software which will get the job done. I have heard that a software such as DVD Architect can do that, but I have not been there and done that.
    Stop markers function at playback of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc only. And, never place a stop marker at the end of the last item on that Timeline.

    Add On...I have found that the situation is the same for stop markers and AVCHD on DVD and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.

  • I have heard that if I load WIN8 on my PC,the Network Ethernet adaptor driver will need updating?

    My PC is a Presario CQ5302,I have WIN 8 installed,failure to connect to Internet produces error message from Windows informing me there is a problem with Ethernet adaptor,it then asks if it should fix problem,after agreeing it does this and all is OK until the next time I switch on,I then have to repeat all over agin !!
    Is HP likely to upgrade the driver for this unit anytime soon?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    I just checked the Realtek site and they don't have any windows 8 drivers for the network adapter that is in your PC released  yet.
    My understanding is that no drivers will be available until October 26th at the earliest, which is the date that Windows 8 will be available for sale.
    You may want to see if the Realtek W7 driver works better for you as it is probably newer than the one you have.
    4th one down on the list is the auto-install file.
