Re: Satellite A500-1DN - Blu-Ray disc Writer needed

Hi all!
My problem is that in my latop i have a CDDVDW TSST TS-L633C writer.
With this i can 't record or play blu-ray content.
Is this possibility to get a blu-ray disc writer in my laptop from toshiba? If yes, how much does it cost?
Thanks in advance!

Hello
Unfortunately I cannot give you presice info about that but what I know is that just several Toshiba notebooks are delivered with Blu-Ray disc drives and I was not able to find any info about Blu-Ray driver used on A500.
On my Satellite P500 I have Mat****a BD-MLT UJ240ES and this drive has BD read and write function. I dont know if you can use this ODD on your notebook model (compatibility).
I recommend you to contact Toshiba service in your country and ask for help. They should know if you can use this ODD or not.
Price? Google!!!

Set up HP bd340i Blu-ray Disc Writer to view a 3d disk

I have a bd340i read write blue ray disk drive. I am using windows 7 with an i7 CPU 870 processor. I want to be able to get a 3d monitor and watch 3d movies and play 3d games.
When I load a 3d disk into the drive, it ejects the disk with a message saying cannot be read. Guessing I probably need a specific driver from HP to make this work. Any help?

Hi,
Actually the graphics card makes the decision, even the ODD can read the 3D dics, the monitor can display 3D images but the graphics card can't. What do you have to do ? Upgrade the graphics card ? Good luck.
Regards.

Is it possible to write 2 different project on one blu ray disc?

I have about 23 Gb project of stills photos and still cameras video clips. But I also have some additional footage on hd from an hd video camera.
My blu ray disc are all 50 gb and I wonder if I could add a second project to the disc and how to go about it, as well as if it is possible how I'll create menu/s to get it working.
I posed the question in quite a few places but it does not return any relevant answer.
I have not worked with blu ray before but since the writers are much cheaper it became affordable for me and I got an external usb Samsung writer.
Window 7 recognises it but Encore (CS 4) does not - anyway I found out it's probably better to use the "folder" option than the disc. I have created a rewritable BD using the image (iso) option with "imgburn". and although it stopped at 75% I was surprised that the BD plays with the complete project and no problem! (my rewritable is only 25Gb) so I can't experiment with with these particular projects.) Thank you

My try does not seem so lucky
I added to my earlier succesful BR project 2 more time lines. On one I had video clips from several still cameras (2 panasonic and one Nikon) and on the other timeline, my .mts clips from my hd Everio video cam.
The Encore projects was previewing well and did not return any error (pre building).
I output the encoding to a folder and followed the imgburn well detailled instruction to burn to a folder, i found them on the net and they were very well explained and my burning went exactly through the same steps explained.
so the procedure progressed over a few hours (it showed the size of 25.5 GB) When it was complete the disk was ejected with a message that it could not be shut again and this happens with slim external drives or Laptops.
I'm not sure what is going on now, but when I put the disk in my entertainment player It asked me If I want copy or format the disk and it won't play.
As this is the second time it happens I put it back in my BR writer, and like the first time It's going threw (I think), a "miscompares" check.
Now it's through 40% and not showing any error, but i seem to remember that I clicked "Yes" to ignore "miscompare"
So I don't really know what is going on, this is almost like 15 hours the process has been on (including the retry).
The BD-RE (50gb DL) is the same colour as the new one I have not idea if anything is written on it.
My first successful project was only animated stills with sound track added to it and burnt onto a rewritable 25 gb BR.
Well any help will be welcome:)

Blu-ray discs don't seems to write a 'lead-out'. Help!

Hi,
I am using Premiere Pro CS4 with Encore CS4. Up until now I have always used DVD's and not blu-ray discs and have never had a problem. I now film in full HD and would like to be able to build blu-ray discs in Encore.
I import to Encore through dynamic link, and set my blu-ray project to PAL 1980x1080, 25fps - the same as my original footage and premiere sequence. The disc appears to burn ok, and you can see there is data on the disc. However, the disc is rejected by my sony blu-ray player, and both the blu-ray disc drives in my PC. It keeps telling me that the format is unsupported. I have tried lowering too 1440 and even 720 and it makes no difference at all. I made sure the region was correct too - region 2 (as i'm in the UK).
I have tried importing very short sequences so that I can watch the process, and I have noticed that unlike my DVD discs, the blu-ray doesn't seem to write a 'lead-out). It says it's complete but it's almost as if it doesn't finialise the disc for playback.
I am so confused, and at this stage rather frustrated! Has anyone got any pointers as to what may being going wrong here?
Thanks,
Cath

Can't write to Blue-ray Disc

After experiencing failures attempting to perform an 18GB data backup to CD or DVD using almost every backup program on the market, I decided to try using Vista Live File System to a Blue-ray disc. While I can use Vista's Live File System to write CDs & DVDs, I get the error "Windows can't write to the disc you inserted...". Has anyone seen this issue and found a solution? My Blue disk drive shows as: HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H20N ATA Device.
Thanks in advance, Gary

Yep! And so far, I can't use it. Neither can I use any commercial backup program to write to either (yes, I have 2) optical drive, CD, DVD or BD inserted. Silly me...expecting all this to work right out of the box!

Satellite P855-33X - canno past the first menu on Blu-Ray Disc Player

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P855-33X . Whenever I try to play a Blu-ray Disc (3d or 2d) on the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc player, I can never get past the first menu (either language selection or main menu depending on disc). I'm unable to click on the menu or use the keyboard to select the options on the menu, the bluray is unresponsive.
It has worked fine in the past so I'm wondering if there's been a recent update which could have made this an issue?
I have Windows 8, recently updated to 8.1.
Thanks for your help.

> I have Windows 8, recently updated to 8.1.
Im wondering if you have updated the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc player after the update from Win 8 to Win 8.1?
On the Toshiba EU driver page you will find all the Toshiba drivers tools and utilities for Win 8.1.
Usually after the Win 8.1 upgrade, the software should be updated as well.

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.

Blu ray drive no longer recognizing dvds or blu ray discs

Until about a week ago I was able to read cds, dvds, and blu ray discs with my dv6 product number lm720av. Windows 7 64 bit. I put in a disc recently and it tries to read the disc for a couple of minutes before it stops trying and shows no disc in the drive. I looked online and it looked like there were other instances of this happening but no one had a solution. It can read cds but not dvd or blu ray at this point. I tried uninstalling the optical drive via device manager and it uninstalled no problem then windows automatically found the drive and reinstalled the drivers which did not change the results. I saw online people were suggesting running sfc under administrator mode in the command prompt. No change. Does this mean my blu ray diode failed? I see two lenses in the drive, is one cd and the other a combo dvd/blu ray? Any other suggestions?
I am about 3 weeks out of warranty on this laptop.

Hi,
The following procedure will test if your notebook can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the notebook. So if you find that the notebook will not boot from the DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD. Download the ISO from the link below.
Windows 7 64bit
You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, insert the DVD and then restart the notebook and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the DVD and restart. If the notebook will not boot from the DVD, it will just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the DVD.
Let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

ENCORE CS6 gives error message during the burning of Blu-ray Disc

I did it again - upgraded my Production Premium CS5 to CS6.
I will not forget CS4 that never came to work. It was not a workable version, but at best an Alfa or maybe Beta version.
I was therefore naturally afraid to upgrade my reasonably well functioning CS5 version, but did it anyway.
My fears kept unfortunately connectors. Audition CS6 scratchy and crunches a lot when I change Audio Device from MME to ASIO. It should be noted, that none of my other programs have this problem neither my Soundbooth nor Audition 5.5 which I fortunately still have installed. So it is only Audition CS6 that crunches with ASIO4ALL.
Encore CS6 is also a problem child. When I try to burn a Blu-ray Disc I get, in the final phase, following error message: Blu-ray Error: "device error", Code: "CreateStcSequence: Fail to write M2S file"
Fortunately, I can open the project file in my Encore CS5, which do not have the same problem. Encore CS6 cannot be used as a standalone application - I still need to have a previous version installed to complete my projects. It is not fair.
Unfortunately I can see that many others have the same problem. Even worse, however, that Adobe still has not come with an update or fair solution of the problem - after so long.
It annoys me infinitely, I every time have to spend so much time on the Internet in an attempt to find solutions to remedy Adobe problems. These are programs I have paid dearly for - exactly twice as much as others living in the U.S. pay - just because I live in Europe.
If there is a user who has some useful suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
I must complain about my bad English.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jim,
ISO files also works for me, but that's not what I paid for.
So far I use just the previous version CS5, but hope at some point to get CS6 to work.

Adobe Premier Elements 12 - Exporting trimmed AVCHD files from the project timeline, to a separate folder for burning to Blu Ray disc with other software?

Hi, can anyone help please. This is the first time I have used this forum.
I use Premier Elements 12, a PC, 64 Bit, Windows 7, high powered computer.
Just started trimming AVCHD in this software.
I would like to know if it is possible to export trimmed AVCHD files to a folder elsewhere (files which were originally imported into the project timeline), so that I can burn the trimmed AVCHD files (not in 'Project' form) to Blu Ray disc (using another software which I know that works to burn video files to Blu Ray disc).

Kathy
Thanks for the update. Your progress sounds very good.
Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 are similar. But, version 13 has significant feature removals and a new Elements Organizer.
So, when viewing or reading tutorials, try to determine the version of the program being used for the tutorials. As I typically write
principles tend to remain the same from version to version, but the features tend to move, change, or be discontinued from version
to version. And, it is frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature.

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?

Hi
Sorry forgot screen shot.

Can I play blu-ray discs on a PowerMac G5?

If I install an internal Blu-Ray/dvd optical drive on my PowerMac G5, can I play blu ray discs without hacking the code.

As Klaus1 said,
No I would not recomend you try to watch Blu Ray films on a G5 as the combo of Video and CPU hardware even in the fastest G5 does not the 'grunt' to decode and play Blu Ray films, also ALL internal Blu Ray drives are SATA so unless your G5 has SATA hard drive/ DVD controlers on board you need a plug in PCI card.
However if all you want to do is to be able to read/write Blu Ray data discs then as long as you have a SATA connecter free the G5 will be able to handle that - prob will not be able to multi-task at the same time !
Dar.

I keep getting "media not present" when tring to burn blu ray disc using PE 10. This used to work fine. Nothing changed as far as I know

Has any one had this problem?

Karl
Thanks for the reply.
Part 1.
1. Task Manager/Process. If you are seeing the following processes with Premiere Elements 10 closed, then Task Manager/Processes and End Task for each of these processes
that you are seeing there
a. Adobe QT32 Server.exe
and
b. Elements Auto Analyser.exe
Part 2.
a. Open Premiere Elements 10 to the Timeline workspace, go to Help Menu/Deactivate and click on Deactivate. Close out of there.
b. Then, uninstall Premiere Elements 10 via the usual Control Panel route.
c. Do a run through with the free ccleaner (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts).
CCleaner - Download
d. Reinstall Premiere Elements 10 with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Part 3. ccleaner details.
Cleaner part. This is straight forward. Click on the Cleaner Tab in the left column of the ccleaner dialog and then click on Run Cleaner in the section of the dialog to the right.
Registry part. Click on the Registry Tab in the left column of the ccleaner dialog. Then click on Scan for Issues in the section of the dialog to the right.
After the "Scan for Issues" is completed, you will then see an active "Fix Selected Issues" to the right of "Scan for Issues".
Click on "Fix Selected Issues".
At this point, you will see a pop up dialog
Click Yes to that message and continue to Save the registry backup file to your computer hard drive location of your choice.
Follow the on screen instructions after the save of the registry back up file.
Part 3.
The critical part is that you obtain the Premiere Elements 10 installation files. You already have the purchased serial number. So you should be OK on the serial number side of things.
Download and install the Premiere Elements 10 tryout files appropriate to your computer from the following web site. It is critical that you read and care out word for word the web page's write up for "Note: Very Important Instructions" and use its click "here" as instructed. Otherwise you will get an excess denied message.
Photoshop Elements 10 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
During the installation of these files to your computer, when asked for, insert your purchased serial number into them.
Make sure that antivirus and firewall(s) are disabled for the download and install.
Comments. There are no guarantees that this will resolve the "No Media Present" for Premiere Elements 10 burn to AVCHD on DVD and Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. In the end, you may have to look at external burners until you find one that works for you for these burn to choices.
Did any of your computer pre-loaded software come with backup installation files? I suspect not.
Please review the above and then let us know if you need clarification on any of the above. You might want to give more consideration to exploring the external burner possible solution.
Thanks.

Satellite A500-1DN - Crashing while playing games

Hi all,
My friend bought a Toshiba satellite A500-1DN about 2 months ago. After around 2 weeks she decided to put 2 games on it (guildwars and jedi knight academy). We soon realized that after about 1 hour of gaming, the computer would crash to a black screen rather than going to a blue screen of death. This meant there was no hint of what was specifically causing the problem and no mini dumps from windows...
Having had troubles with those specific games myself on Windows 7, I thought it must be the games.
About a week later she spent around an hour looking through youtube videos only to find that her computer crashed in the same way as the game. So I put some diagnostic software on the computer. Processor / graphic card overheating? But nothing, the temperatures were stable and acceptable and certainly wouldnt have been the cause of these crashes, unless I unluckily missed the point where it did over heat shrugs so I didn't outrule it...
Due to the problem so far seeming to be video related, I downloaded new nvidia drivers (unfortunately the official ones didnt work and I had to hunt for a custom .inf). It didn't solve the problem but the driver seemed to be functioning suitably well.
So in our rage, we sent it back stating that it may be that the cooling for the laptop, ie copper pipes were not sufficient for the graphics card and Toshiba said they had cleaned the computer up replaced thermal paste, all that typical stuff... which seems very fair. We got it back. We played a game and it crashed within 10 minutes. Perhaps even worse than when it left.
Is there anything else that could be causing this problem - video related activites causing crash of computer without going to BSOD or returning any specific errors. What about RAM? I have even uninstalled the HDD protection thinking it might be causing some compatibility problems.
I need some guidance.
The spec is:
Intel core 2 DUO CPU T6600 2.20GHz
Nvidia Geforce GT 230M
4GB RAM

To the above commenter.
Thanks for bashing my response I appreciate I may not be the best computer person under the sun, however I do think my IT degree counts for something!
Also if you hadn't noticed the huge number of people complaining about this issue, if you haven't had the issue good for you, however for those of us that are still struggling you telling us to download patches and BIOs and what not that are completely none related to our issue I find to some what unhelpful.
As for playing with my laptop on my knee, It is also on top of cooling pad which lifts the fans well clear of any clogging.
And if the layout and design of the laptop isn't a problem how come there are so many issues regarding this problem? While I appreciate that you think you know what you are talking about regarding the N series laptops they also have far less RAM, usually don't have a dedicated graphics card and also have the same sized cooling system to cool a much smaller machine.
I have in fact had the pleasure of speaking with my representative who was very sympathetic with my issue and has currently applied to try a replacement and if I am still having an issue will give me either an equal or upgrade which is very kind of them.
This is not a cheap laptop and we should not be having the number of issues described by many owners.
I still believe that some of our computers are just "dud" computers and while the issue with some of them is Extreme like my own, some of you don't seem to have the issue.
There is no current fix for this issue and I would suggest taking it back to you local Toshiba service centre and discuss with them options as they are generally understanding if you are still having issues after the first few visits!
Will keep you updated!
