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.

    I want to burn a blu ray disc from PP CC 2014 and do not have the Encore application. Is there a way to do that?

    Here's a free non-Adobe solution as well.  It's definitely got a steep learning curve compared to Encore, but from my understanding so far, it may also be more capable.  (And it's still being developed, unlike Encore which is dead software.)

  • 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 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 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 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.

  • Final Cut Pro 7: problem creating Blu Ray disc

    Hello, I've a problem using FInal Cut Pro 7. I want to create a Blu Ray disc using the "Share" function, but during the process - after many hours - appears this warning message: "SHARE WARNING - NSEXPETION RAISED BY 'NSPORT TIMEOUT EXCEPTION' REASON = CONNECTION TIMEOUT: DID NOT RECEIVE REPLY". Someone can help me? What does it mean? Thanks! P.S. Duration of my film (in the timeline): 35 minutes.

    Yes. It will only burn Blu-Ray if it is the Pro version though.
    Compressor will also burn the Blu-Ray if you set it up to do so:

  • 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.

  • 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?

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

    Windows 7
    CS6 cloud

  • Burning HDV movie to Blu-ray Disc

    Hi there, I filmed an HDV movie edited it on HDV mode on Apple Final cut pro, I want to make a Blu-ray disc i was wondering if export on HDV mode and let the encore CS4 do the converting, or i render it on compressor to H.264 format or maybe Mpeg2 ? can anyone help please ?
    im using Mac Pro I have the encore CS4 and i have a Blu-ray Burner
    it is my first time that i will make Blu-ray Disc so if you have any suggestions please let me know
    Thank You

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, from FCP, you will not have Adobe Dynamic Link. Also, being a PC-guy, I cannot tell you how well Encore might handle some other Apple CODEC's - maybe well, or maybe not. Now, in this case, I think that I would use FCP to Transcode to a 100% BD-compliant H.264, Export and then Import to Encore as a Timeline. Depending on the Duration of your FCP Timeline, you might want to download a bit-rate calculator and work out the bit-rate for your Export.
    Good luck, and hopefully some Encore Mac-users will step up and give you more background on how well Encore handles all Mac formats/CODEC's.
