PAL versus NTSC will both play in a US blu-ray player/HDTV?

I'm sure I could test this and find out, but I'm sure someone has a quick answer.  If my assets are 720 X 576 I have heard that Encore re-sizing will create some quality issues.  Would I be better off just editing this in Premiere Pro and Saving in the same 720 X 576 format, burning it to a 25 gb Blu-Ray disk in Encore and then playing it in my Blu-Ray player as is, or would this not work and the asset would have to be re-sized to 720 X 480?

Hi.
A few things.
1 - PAL BluRay is frankly a mess. you cannot use 25p, only 50i and support is sporadic as it just is not in the BluRay specs.
2 - For universal BluRay, you must use either 60i, 30p or 24p for it to work on US/Japanese players.
3 - 720x576 is not BluRay spec - it is SD. Whilst you can use 720x576, it is not recommended as few players will cope with this.
You definitely do not want to scale this (upres) in Encore. Or PPro. It will look like a dogs dinner.
4 - Converting from PAL to NTSC involves more than scaling - the frame rate has to be altered from 25 to 29.97 (30 actually, but we're not talking about timecodes & drop/non drop frame counts now )
It needs to be done properly - Jeff Bellune has a superb tutorial on acheiving this with open source software at http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php
Hope this helps

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

    No you cannot.
    You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer.  You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

  • How can I copy picture on a CD and then play them on the blue ray player on my TV?

    How can I copy pictures from iphoto on a CD then play it on my blueray player on the TV?

    You are attempting to do this in a very difficult manner. Why not simply get an AppleTV ($75 refurbished from Apple) and you can share all your iPhoto content on your TV. That would be much easier than exporting to a CD/DVD, loading it into a player and then playing from a DVD. Apple tells about setting up Home Sharing in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352.

  • Will a DVD-5 (HD MPEG-2 Encoded) play on my Blu-ray player?

    Is there any way of checking that a 30 minute HD DVD recorded on a normal DVD-5 will play on a Blu-ray before you buy it?
    I am thinking of getting a very cheap Philips BDP 3000.
    I suppose I could always get the sales staff to agree to let me return it if it didn't work!

    In Compressor, HD DVD means just that. It is referring to the obsolete format. Most of us would like to see that removed from the Final Cut suite; it just usually leads to confusion.
    In compressor, you can create a new batch from template, select "create blu-ray disc" and it will do just that, with limited but nice looking menus. It will also create an AVCHD disc (Blu-ray structure on a DVD-5 or DVD-9) if you have a DVD-R in the drive.

  • 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!

  • Will I need to buy a digital tuner if I buy a blu ray player?

    I was looking at the blu ray DVD players and noticed that some came with a digital tuner and some without. Will I have to buy it separate if it does not come with one or will my HDTV provide that?

    I was comparing an LG blue ray player BD390 and a Sony Blue ray player BDP S560, out to the side listed under features was Digital tuner; The LG said yes and the Sony said no. Both were listed around 250$ I was wanting to know if I need this? Do I have this covered by having an HDTV? Why does a blue ray player need this? The reason I asked is to understand the digital tuner issue a little better. Thanks for your replies. 

  • How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

    how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

    Hi
    Part of it - in my way of doing is
    Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
    • Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
    or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
    I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

  • Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?, Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?

    How do you play movie on a blu ray from the iPad ?

    Subject of your posts seems to be asking if you can take movies from the iPad and play them on a BluRay player. No, you can't, though there are ways to connect your iPad to a television. The body of your post seems to be asking if you can take BluRay movies and play them on your iPad. No. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In order to make a copy, you'd need to break that encryption. That's illegal in the U.S., so, we're not able to talk about it on this forum. Sorry.

  • Do I need to download a DNLA server to play contents of my iMac on my TV through a blue ray player?

    Do I need to download a DNLA server to play contents of my imac on my TV through a blue ray player?  I have Mountain Lion.

    No, but if you want to do this wirelessly or as Apple calls it, AirPlay, then you need a compatible iMac and an Apple TV or other compatible AirPlay device.
    Otherwise you can connect the two with a suitable cable.

  • I'm in the process of creating a WiFi network from my IMac to my LG HDTV.  I am incorporating a LG WiFi capable Blu-ray player and will purchase an Apple Express or Apple Extreme router. I need some advise on using this aquipment.

    I need help in determining the best way to create a WiFi network from my IMAC to a WiFi capable LG Blu-Ray player that will connect to my LG HDTV.  Since I will only need one network I need to know which is the best Apple Airport router to use (Express or Extreme).  What is the correct way to connect these units?  It seem self explanitory,but I'm checking my thinking.  My HDTV is about 20' from where the airport router will be installed with a wall between them.  Has anyone created this network?  Is this the best way to create a WiFi network?

  • My Sony Blu-ray player keeps restarting while playing a DVD.

    While playing a DVD in my Sony Blu-ray BD/DVD player it keeps shutting off, then automatically restarting itself and goes back to the home menu. It is a BDV-2100 Series. Any suggestions? I've turned off the Sleep settings. Unplugged for 1 minute and turned back on. I haven't found any helpful suggestions for this in the COmmunity Support questions. Is this a common problem with this series of Blu-ray?
