Save to external blue ray burner

Is it possible to burn photos edited in iPhoto to a high definition Blue Ray burner?

Internal vs external should not matter.
I have a burned to external with CS4, but it was a long time ago.
And most importantly, Encore is not a reliable burner for many users, and they, and I, use imgBurn rather than Encore to burn.
Also, "burn an MTS" file is totally different from authoring and burning. Encore (was it by CS4?) added a limited AVCHD passthrough option. I have not used it.

I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

It's a complex project and there are a lot of possibilities. Among them is the length; there are a number of reports of projects that are approaching 2 hours failing to burn.
If it's a question of jarring Create Disk into action, one thing that has worked for some users is simply to click on and the Apply button (s) in the Settings pane of the Blu Ray Share window and then hitting Cancel. This can be tested by duplicating your project and selecting a tiny section of your sequence and exporting. Change the Output Device to Hard Drive and see whether Create Disk successfully writes a disk image.
You can also check that a specific clip isn't rendering properly. Since the process got to 59%, it may just mean that the burn couldn't be initiated by Create Disk – or it may indicate a problem with a clip toward end of your sequence. (If you can check the log, there may be something useful in there.)
Use the duplicated project and this time set a range for the last 30 minutes or so of the project and export it, using the Blu Ray destination. Again, set Output Device to HD and see whether it will complete.
Good luck.

Premiere Elements 11 no longer recognizes my external blu-ray burner.

I have used my Samsung SE-506BB-TSBD external burner many times before today, but for some reason Premiere Elements 11 is not recognizing it. Windows 7 sees it just fine. Premiere Elements 8 (which is still loaded on the same computer) also does not recognize it.
What do I need to do? Samsung's website is no help, but I have a feeling it's an Adobe issue since Windows 7 still recognizes the drive.

When is your Blu-ray burner not recognized
Premiere Elements 11: burn to DVD disc, burn to Blu-ray disc, burn to AVCHD on DVD disc, or all?
Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1: burn to DVD disc, burn to Blu-ray disc, or both?
and when you wrote:
I have used my Samsung SE-506BB-TSBD external burner many times before today
Did "....many times before today" imply that you could use the burner for Premiere Elements 11 and 8.0/8.0.1 before. I am trying to get a whether this is a "it worked before but now" or a "it never worked before" type issue.
Do you have the USB 2.0 cable connected to a USB 2.0 computer port directly or via a USB multi port hub? I take it that this burner does not have AC support? If you are using only 1 USB 2.0 port, can you set up the burner for 2 USB 2.0 ports?
Does the computer involved have an internal burner? Or is this the only burner that you have available to you external or internal for the computer?
Let us start here and then decide what avenues of further troubleshooting are available to us.
Thanks.

After I compress HD Video to H.264 how do I burn to an external Blu Ray Burner?

How do I burn to Blu Ray after I've compressed to H.264? Can I go through DVD Studio?

This is what the DVD SP 4 manual says re: H.264 files:
"You can use the H.264 video format, also known as MPEG-4 part 10 and the Advanced Video Codec (AVC), in your HD projects. The H.264 encoder is twice as efficient as the standard MPEG-2 encoder. When compared to encoding with MPEG-2, this means that with the H.264 encoder:... You must use H.264 for HD DVD presets in Compressor to encode H.264 video assets for native use in DVD Studio Pro HD project."
However, i cannot get DVD SP 4 to recognize the .264 encoded files using these presets (Format h.264 for Blu-ray; 1080p @ 29.97fps; NTSC; AVCHD stream). Compressor produces a .264 video format file that DVD SP rejects. Do I have to use the h.264 for Apple Devices format (m4v) instead (which also is supposed to support Chapter Markers created in FCPX)?

Using an external Blue Ray Disc Drive/Burner with an imac? Can I? Brand?

I have a blue ray player in the living room and I'm just starting to research burning blue ray discs using the imac.
I have an intel based imac, 2.8ghs intel core 2 duo, 4gb sdram, 1tb hard drive.
Should I be able to safely use an external blue ray burner?
If so, recommendations as to a product?

there is no official support for blue ray drives in leopard. Steve jobs said blue ray is "a bag of hurt" referring to the licensing issues for blue ray.
As a result there is no recommended drives as they are not officially supported.
I can't recommend either as I don't use Blue ray yet.
A quick google brought up this
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/01/25/blu-ray-arrives-for-the-mac-wheres-hd-dvd/
Judging by your list of gadgets below your post, it won't be much good as it is for the Mac Pro
All I can say is that Snow Leopard may bring better support for Blue Ray, all you can do is hope!
Regards

Bought an external blue ray player/burner

would like to know how to get a movie to play with an external blue ray/burner on a hp mini 210

Install Cyberlink's Power DVD 10 (it's free for HP owners) _ save the file to the desk top and install it from there, not from a temporary folder.
Make sure and have your external drive plugged in before you install Power DVD10.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58764.exe
Restart after the installation and do not unplug the external drive.
For the first time use the eject button on the drive and let the movie load automatically (give it some time) with out opening Power DVD10.

Final Cut Pro X witch Blu-ray Burner are you using ...

Using a Mac Pro Tower like the Mac Pro 2012 or similar what are the Blu-ray Internal Burners do you use ; LG or Pioneer , witch Model Number.
Creating Blu-ray on the Mac is fantastic but witch brand and model numbers for the Big Mac Pro Tower are you using with exellent results now.
On the Mac Apple Pro Apps or Roxio Toast Titanium are the only left options who are current and updated , but burners specified for Windows.
Frustration come when you talk to Apple they say not supported , Burners makers LG or Pioneer will say we dont offer support on the Mac.
Well if you can create Blu-ray on the Mac but cant get any help to burn it it is very frustrating and Not So Pro if Apple care for the Pro Users.

I use the new Mac Pro 2013. Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.4 and Maverick OS 10.9.5. An external Blu-ray burner LG BE14NU40. I've use single burn Blu-ray discs from brands like Maxell and Verbatim. That works fine. I have double layers Blu-ray discs not tried. I use it for home video’s.
DVD single works fine too. DVD double layers I have not tried but will also work i think. Reviews on LG USA stated that Roxio Titanium with corresponding plugin works.
I'm glad I found a blu-ray burner that works with FCPX. Compressor 4.1.3 but I have not been working with the LG burner. Not yet!

Premiere elements 11 does not recognize blu ray burner

Purchased Pawtec external blu ray burner. Premiere elements 11 recognizes it as a dvd burner but not a blu ray burner. How can I fix this?

Long160
There is no burn to folder for Blu-ray in Premiere Elements (any version), so we cannot use that escape route. What has been used in the past as a workaround for this "no burn to folder for Blu-ray" is creating a Blu-ray disc image with Premiere Elements in conjunction with a virtual Blu-ray burner with a virtual BD-RE disc. I have written about that in the following blog post
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/11/pe12-disc-imagephantom-burner-pe.html
But, as for the Pawtec external Blu-ray burner being recognized in the Premiere Elements 11 burner location in burn to Blu-ray,
a. you may just have an external Blu-ray burner that is not compatible with Premiere Elements
b. you could try for a Premiere Elements 11 uninstall/reinstall going the route of Deactivation with in the program (Help Menu/Deactivate), uninstall via regular Control Panel route, ccleaner run through (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner), reinstall.
Have you tried another USB port? Does the Blu-ray burner require one or two USB connections to have enough power for functioning?
Also, do you have all you operating system updates?
More later.

Buffalo MediaStation External Blu-ray Burners?

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience using a Buffalo MediaStation External Blu-ray burner with their mac?
Cheers,
James

Yeah, I already read this one.
The review is good, which is the main thing that prompted me to consider this drive, but I always like to get some feedback from average users about little issues that often crop up in the real world.
Unfortunately the forum conversation that follows this particular review is less about the drive itself and more about other issues. No one said, "I have this drive and use it with a mac and I think it's . . . "

Recommendations on a Blu Ray Burner

Can anybody recommend a reliable external blu-ray burner that I can use on my iMac? I'm using FCE 4 and Toast 10 to burn HD DVDs and am happy with the quality, but would like to put more than 20 minutes of HD on a disc. Thanks!

Toast is a software package from Roxio that allows you to burn HD recordings. There's a few others available but it seems to be the most popular. You can do up to 20 minutes of HD on a standard DVD using a standard DVD burner, but to go longer (up to 2 hours on a dual layer disc) you will need a Blu Ray burner. And of course to view either HD DVD or blu-ray, you'll need a blu ray player. HD DVDs will not play on a standard DVD player.
I posted essentially the same question that you did QDigital, and Michal Boissonneault posted a most helpful reply with links to step-by-step instructions.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2189960
I got Toast Titanium Pro 10, which includes the blu-ray add in. You have to pay extra on the standard version for the add in, but it's required to burn HD.
Within a week or two of using Toast, I was in the market for a blu-ray burner...$300 USD for the burner, 10-15 for each disc.

Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

Time to buy a "real" blu-ray burner?

I think I know the answer to this question but I don't want to waste the money if I don't have to. I do underwater video. I use either compressor 4.0.3 or Toast 11.0.3 to encode my videos to make AVCHD discs using my super-drive and regular DVD 5s. Most of the time they look great on my 65" Samsung LED-LCD TV. However, if I have a scene where there is a blue background ie. a turtle swimming out in the blue, I notice what I think are compression artefacts. The blue is not a uniform consistent color but has some mottleing in it. And apparently I'm the only one who sees it, but I know it's not supposed to be there. I have modified my settings in compressor to Stream Usage; AVCHD Video format 1920 x 1080, frame rate automatic, Average Bit rate 8, maximum bit rate 16, frame controls on, Output fields progressive (video was shot progressive with gopro and tv has 1080p capability), Resize filter: Better
Deinterlace: Better. I have also tried a bunch of other settings but they all look pretty much the sdame in the end. So the question is, if I buy a blu-ray burner and use blu-ray media, can I expect better results since I would be able to encode at much higher bit rates. If the recommendation is to get a burner, what would people suggest- I would like to use it with both my Macpro workstation and my Macbook pro so an external burner may be the way to go. If not, what internal burner for the work station would you guys recommend? thanks and sorry for the long windedness.
Steve

I just made two Blu-ray dics images of this...
One at 15 average/17 max(for DVD) and the other at 30 average/34 max (for Blu-ray). The one for Blu-ray was defiantly better (close to the original) than the one encoded for DVD.
One big draw back is going to be your camera. You can't make a video any better than what your camera gives you. If you can match the Blu-ray encoding to the original video your halfway there... Personally I make an imagine disc and burn my copies from that... You should make an imagine disc, a small portion of the video and test that first on your computer or hookup your computer to your TV. From there you can see if there are any artifacts in the video. Adjust the encoder bit rate if need be. (This will save from burning to to Blu-ray disc ($$$).
Can you post the video info from your camera...? Codec that is used (not the format but the codec)... xy size.... and the bit rate. Finally, are you using a video editor?
The VLC app can playback a Blu-ray discs on a Mac:
http://www.videolan.org
Right click on the Blu-ray disc image and mount it onto the computer's desktop.
Open VLC... Menu... Open File (don't use open disk).
Navigate to the mounted Blu-ray disc.
Click Open.
More than likely... your Blu-ray player is having a hard time tracking the Blu-ray DVD. You have all that video data on a 4 gig DVD... the DVD has to spin faster and track across the DVD faster.
I've seen some petty good underwater videos from the Go Pro camera. Not a Red camera but... hey.

External Blu-Ray drive for HP Envy Lightscribe Issues

My HP Envy 13-1100ea came with an HP external Blu-Ray drive (HP Part No: 538333-001) which identifies itself as an Optiarc BD ROM BC-5600S. In the HP Envy 13 service manual it mentions this drive as having Lightscribe functionality but I cannot seem to get the drive to be detected by the Lightscribe Control Panel or any Lightscribe labelling software. I have tried installing the Lightscribe software (older version) from the HP product support page as well as the latest software and diagnostic utilities direct from the Lightscribe site but nothing has seemed to work so far. Has anyone had any success burning Lightscribe labels with this drive or have any advice that might get things working?

The drive has the following logo on the bottom plate:
Which looks quite similar to the lightscribe logo, although it's not exactly the same. The HP Envy 13 support page does not contain drivers for the optical drive and I can't seem to find a dedicated support page for the drive itself. I have tried uninstalling the default windows driver which it reinstalls when the drive is plugged in again. As I said before it has been communicated in various place that the drive features lightscribe functionality and I'd be pretty upset if it turns out it doesn't!
