  • HP DVD PLAY AND BLU RAY PLAYER PROBLEMS

    Hi guys, just had a few problems recently with my HP dvd and blu-ray software....
    I have been using the software for about the last 2 years without problems, but recently i have tried using both DVD's and Blu-Ray discs, and they do not start playing either through autoplay (inserting the disc), or hitting the play button on the player.
    I have tried updating from the menu, but whenever I try to do this my Internet says that "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". However, I do not have any other problems downloading different files and other updates.
    If anyone has experienced this problem before or knows how to fix it, please help me out!

    Temporarily turn off your internet software. Download and SAVE the update to your desktop, disconnect your computer from the internet, then turn off your antivirus. Do not plug in any USB flash drives as this may transfer viruses. Install the software, when you're done, turn on the antivirus, re-connect your computer to the internet.
    I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
    1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
    2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
    2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
    1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
    Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
    Kudos if I helped!

  • Exporting as MPEG2 DVD or MPEG2 Blu-ray makes my clips shorter!?

    Hi,
    Firstly - I am shooting footage on a Panasonic HDC-HS300 using the 1080i 25 default setting, and importing the AVCHD file as such into Premiere Pro CS4 v.4.2.1.
    My aim is to get the best image quality results possible using a workflow where I take the raw AVCHD footage (possibly converted to AVI first) into Premiere Pro, Dynamic Linking to After Effects for color correction etc, and Dynamic Linking back to Premiere Pro for final export/render in several different formats for several different purposes.
    Anyway - Here's the problem:
    I have been playing with different ways to do this (for MANY hours), and have found that whenever I attempt to export/render out from Premiere Pro with Adobe Media Encoder using either the MPEG2 DVD or MPEG2 Blu-ray (both using the default HDTV 1080i 25 settings), I end up with clips that are shorter than the original clips! For example, I have been editing a clip that was originally 56 seconds long, but after the export/render it is only 48 seconds long.
    To make things even stranger, the accompanying audio file that is rendered out along side the MPEG video file not shortened and comes out as 56 seconds long, as it is supposed to be.
    Someone please help....?
    Thanks
    Mikkel
    P.S. If I were to convert the AVCHD to an AVI format, which would be the best applications and formats to do so?

    Firstly - The reason for converting AVCHD to AVI is because despite Adobe claiming that CS4 is native AVCHD, the reality is that if I import AVCHD and edit it in Premiere Pro, color correct in After Effects and then render it out from Premiere Pro, I end up with either very significant judder or artifacts in the final result. I stress that this only happens when the input into Premiere Pro is AVCHD, NOT when I use converted (lossless - Lagarith) AVI as my input. In other words, it DOES serve a purpose to convert AVCHD to AVI first.
    Secondly - I am NOT using 29.97 or 30 fps.
    I am exporting in MPEG2 HDTV 1080i25 (i.e. 25 fps, which is the only available option for this preset), as I wrote in my original post...

  • DVD Studio burning blu-ray

    I cant find the thread dealing with this subject although I am sure many people must have raised this issue. I would like to know if Apple finally decided in its new DVD Studio version to add the possibility of authoring in HD and burning blu-rays discs?

    As I said, what I want to know is if Apple's DVD Studio Pro will at last decided to offer the solution of burning the authoring made through this application into a Blu-Ray (rather than having to use another application much more simplified and rudimentary).
    I know Steve Jobs gambled to fully suppport HD-DVD rather than Blu-Ray and he lost this gamble since HD-DVD is no longer a standard. So I am wondering if the reason why he is dragging his feet to implement Blu-Ray capabilities is that he does not like to loose and will do everything to prevent Apple from integrating the Blu-Ray standard in its applications...

  • I just want to upgrade the dvd player to blu-ray..

    So I'm searching the internet looking for where I can purchase a blu-ray player to replace my dvd player in my HP Pavilion 17-e119wm Notebook PC. I had found a place before, specific to HP computers, but this time, no google search will turn up anything. 
    I already know how to install the drive... but I just need the actual drive, I need to know where i can purchase one for my model laptop. 
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    What country are you located in? This is a generic 9.5 mm Blu-Ray reader drive (not a burner, burns DVD only not BR):
    eBay
    You can buy one of these and just swap over your faceplate. It will save you serious money.

Also Where would I buy this part from? Thanks in advance

  • Media smart DVD stopped playing blue rays and no longer responds

    I have a DV5z-1200 cto, os win7. i watch a lot of blue rays on it. i just purchased the new tron bluray and half way thru it froze. i tried to shut the machine off but it wouldnt respond. i was able to get into set up and noticed i had a new update (4.something). so i did it and now i get nothing. the drive just keeps rereading the same spot. i have uninstalled the update and when this happened Mediasmart stopped working all together. i reinstalled all the older versions but i couldn't find my original version 3.8 or something like that. i could then get a blu ray to start but now the message about you need to contact your firmware provider on the disk keeps popping up and the disks no longer play. can some one please help.

    Uninstall your present Media Smart with Revo Uninstaller, use the trial.
     http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
     Restart and install CCleanr and run it's registry cleaner and repeat until it finds nothing. When it finds nothing restart the machine. It will give the option to save a back up of the registry files you are about to delete, save these all as a precaution and note where they have been saved.
     Personally I have never had to reinstall the files, but I like to save them anyway, and when you are satisfied that everything is fine, then you may delete them.
     http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
     Here is the Media Smart DVD file.  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-87326-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
    Save this to the desk top and right click to go to properties, and in the "Generals" tab it should read Size: 55,380,920 bytes and Size on disk: 55,382,016 bytes. If this is incorrect then you must disable Webroot Internet and try again.
     If it is correct down load 7-Zip and right click to "extract files" open that folder and find the  "src' file. Open that and look for "Setup" the sixth one from the bottom. Click on that to install.
     http://www.7-zip.org/download.html  (the one at the top of the list, type exe for 32 bit W7)
     Before following this procedure for installation, make sure that you have disconnected from the internet and that your Webroot security is totally disabled. Remember to restart your machine after installing Media Smart and when it says "Press Play to Play" do not do this, it should load by it self.
     This is a slightly older version, but I have tested with Tron and Harry Potter with ATI graphics and I know it works. The most recent on your support page is having a problem with some of the ATI graphics cards.
     This procedure was discovered by another member on the forum, DavidPK, and so far has been the most successful. I am also hoping that disabling WebRoot will solve the problem here.

  • Once and for all: Can DVD SP build Blu-Ray disc content or not?

    Maybe I’m crazy, but…
    Everything I’ve heard to date has Apple backing the Blu-Ray format. Believing this, I just spent $900 on a new Lacie D2 external Blu-Ray burner (which IS Mac compatible). I also purchased Toast 8 (which IS Blu-Ray compatible).
    All I need to do now is build my disc content (assign H.264 1920x1080 content, build menus, etc.) then drop it all into Toast and burn Blu-Ray video discs… right?
    So what is all this I’m reading here about DVD Studio Pro supporting the HD DVD format and not Blu-Ray???!!!!!!
    Am I going to be able to do this using DVD SP or not, and if not, can anybody tell me a program I can use to build my Blue-Ray disc content? (All of my HD content is H.264 (1920x1080) rendered directly from Adobe After Effects).
    My deadline for this project is fast approaching and I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on this. If I can build Blu-Ray discs and burn them on my Mac using Toast 8 and the Lacie D2, I’ll make my deadline and justify the $900 spent thus far.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks, SM

    Wait a minute,
    Maybe I don’t need to buy PC to run DVDit Pro HD. I have a Mac Pro! With Boot camp I have a PC! Any reason I shouldn’t try running DVDit on my Mac via the Boot Camp beta? That way I'd also be using my Lacie D2 Bu-Ray drive. And with Roxio's 30 day return policy I haven’t much to loose...
    I'm calling Roxio tech support. Let you know how it goes
    Sark
    Message was edited by: sarkmachine
    A LITTLE LATER:
    Just got back from digging into Roxio's discussion forum and here's what I found:
    I have travelled down the same frustrating path my friend!
    But I did succeed doing it all on my new mac Pro, finally...
    Install BOOTCAMP (free beta). Install WINDOWS XP ($269 from AMAZON). Install ULEAD BD RECORDER, which comes with DVD MOVIEFACTORY 6 (free trial, $80 to buy).
    BDAV worked well from SONY V1-U burning to MATSHITA BD-MLT SW-5582 and played perfectly in new SAMSUNG 1200 palyer on my 57" DLP.
    TIP - install BOOTCAMP et al on its own HD, and use NTFS... This will come in handy when doing a BDAV from a file such as HDV1080 that is larger than 4GB.
    To do BDMV, you'll need SONIC DVD-IT PRO HD ($499) which I have yet to try...
    Frustrating process, but kinda cool to figure it all out, especially when NOBODY in sales at any of these places seems to have a clue.
    So there you go - must be possible

  • External hard drive and blu-ray build-in player

    Hi staffs,
    This is fifth times that I contact you via apple support, I hope you guys won't be annoying with my problem ask.
    Anyway, this time there are three questions that would like to ask and some of them might be suggestion for MacOS 10.10 before fall release.
    first question ....., I'd like to ask about external hdd which i already plug-in to my  mac but I can't move any files from Mac HDD to them even change the filenames for the files in there. Question is., do you have any suggestion or else as solution for this problem.......
    second question ....., will be all about blu-ray disc player and burning as build-in or that you can integrated software as dvd player. I don't understand why apple keep away to put this solution into macos and why do users need to spend 3-12 dollars for purchase application in store for this innocent issue. I don't wanna say this as the question but I want this suggestion as the real case to make apple renovate dvd player to all content players and rename its to iPlayer  or iMedia. I hope this case will be solve in coming macos x.
    third question, about map application in marvelick os........why don't you put the quicklook or street view into application i really need it so much.
    All these questions and suggestions are asking by sincerely mind and need so please not just sit and skip mine, so I look forward to see your reply. Thanks
    Peter

    If you would like to make suggestions to Apple, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    You are not speaking with Apple here. These are user to user technical forums and we volunteer our time to help.
    First: how is the external hard drive formatted? If it is Windows formatted, Mac can probably not write to it, so check that first and then format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition scheme.
    Second: Apple does not offer blu-ray because it does not have the license to do it. You can get an external blu-ray player/burner and then you need Roxio Toast to burn in blu-ray.
    Third: give Apple the feedback on that.

    Not sure which OS you are running, but there is an updated version of the player software for Win7 that might make a difference...

    Hi,
    Disable AVGs Resident shield and restart the notebook.  Download the latests installer for HP MediaSmart DVD on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50935.exe
    When the download has completed, right click the installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation - this should initially uninstall your current version before installing the new one.  When this has finished, restart the notebook again and let Windows fully load before trying to play a Blu ray disc.  If it now works ok, you will need to add the whole HP MediaSmart DVD folder ( in your Program Files list ) to the list of exclusions that AVG will not scan before re-enabling the Resident Shield.

  • Does the Mac pro DVD player play Blu-ray discs?

    I suspect the answer is no, because the only DVD's that don't work in my player are blu-ray. But if someone can confirm this for me that would be great. If I need to download software to make my DVD player Blu-ray please direct me to the right site.
    S. Walker

    You can use a third-party BD drive to read and write data discs. However, there is no built-in software to play video BD's, even if you have a drive that can read them. I don't know whether there is now any third-party software that can play those discs; the last time I remember checking, there was not. It's technically (but not legally) possible to convert BD's to a format that can play natively on the Mac, but that subject can't be discussed within the terms of use of this site.
    The copy protection on BD's won't allow them to be played at full resolution on an external display without end-to-end hardware copy protection (HDCP) in the graphics subsystem.
