Are *.MPEG2TS files somthing a software Blu-ray player should recognise?

Purchased Product = WinDVD 9 plus Blu-ray as a retail boxed product from PC World in the UK.
Problem = Above product does not appear to support reading Blu-ray files created in Adobe Encore CS3.
Adobe Encore CS3 user manual states = Building the finished product - Blu-ray folder builds a Blu-ray directory folder structure on your hard drive. You can play the program using a Blu-ray software player and the directory behaves behaves just like a disc, including having full navigational abilities.
The rusulting folder produce by Adobe contains, amongst other sub-folders, a list of files in a BDMV folder with a sub-folder named Stream which contains a list of files with MPEG2TS extensions (i.e. *.MPEG2TS).
The Blu-ray folder has been built in 1080p resolution.
I purchased WinDVD 9 plus Blu-ray software in order to play the Blu-ray files prior to burning to Blu-ray Discs. The retail box states on the outside that the product supports MPEG-2 HD.
Therefore my question is this, are the *.MPEG2TS Adobe encore files produced not a universal standard and what is the difference between *.MPEG2TS and MPEG-2HD.
Computer is a Sony Vaio VGN-AR71ZU Laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1 with two e-SATA external HDD enclosures connected via Sonett Tempo SATA ExpressCard|34 interface. Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 2.50GHz Processor, 4GB DDR2 SD RAM, NVidia Ge Force 8600M GT CPU Graphics. System drive consists of two 320Gb HDD's in RAID 0 configuration, and a Blu-ray Read/Write optical drive. In Standard Definition the files are contained within the Video-TS folder and work fine.

Yes it is possible to do you will need :
A hardware similar to this:

A software similar to this :

And free hard drive space of around 30 to 100 GB depending of the work you will attempt
I hope this helps

Samsung BD-F7500 3D Blu-Ray Player

can i use this one or purchase another ?

Hi mike4362258, and welcome to the Best Buy forum!
The Samsung BD-F7500 3D Blu-ray player should connect to your TV in just about the same way that your current Blu-ray player does. It would plug into your surge protector via a power cord and then into your TV via a separate USB cable, so there are two cables. A USB cable is not included with purchase of the Blu-ray player.
I hope that helps!

How would I edit and burn HD 3D home movies at 1080i/60i to a Blu ray player on an iMac?

I own a Sony HDR-TD30V HD 3D Camcorder and would like to edit and burn my 3D home videos (1080i/60i) to a Blu ray capable of playing on a home blu ray player or PS3 using iMac software.

Well, you won't be doing 3D with Final Cut Express! (With FCE you could edit 2D filmed with your camcorder @ 1080i60 but not 3D.)
For that matter, Final Cut Pro X doesn't even handle 3D out of the box. But there is a third-party plugin called Stereo 3D Toolbox that works with Final Cut Pro X.
As for BluRay, you will need an external BluRay burner and software that supports it ... like Roxio Toast Titanium.
Also, I noticed that your profile says you are using OS X 10.6.8 - I strongly suggest upgrading to 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mt. Lion) before investing in FCP-X and other video software.

HP ENVY 700-074 Desktop - what graphics card do I need to install to use a blu ray player?

I purchased an external blu ray player - "LG 14x external blu-ray/dvd writer super multi blue be14". For some reason I thought my system was compatible. However, it's not - apparently the Intel(R) 4600 won't work. What graphics card would I need to install to allow using this blu-ray device? What else do I need to know?

Ah, I should add, the Blu ray player's support site (for Cyberlink) suggested a pile of different drivers - 30 or 40, but didn't offer any specifics regarding my particular system. What I really need to know is what would be the best option for my particular system.

Using cable modem with blu-ray player

I just had FiOS installed. I have a Samsung blu-ray player that's too far away such that wi-fi is not reliable.
Can I use a cable modem to gain access hard-wired? Since the STB has an IP address I take it I should be able to split the coax, feed it to a modem and then on to my blu-ray payer's CAT-5 port.
If this is possible what modems are compatible?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Your idea is sound, but instead of a cable modem what you need is a "Moca Adaptor". Something like THIS* . And when you split the cable, make sure that you use a high bandwidth splitter. Something like THIS* And then all should be good.
*Just examples

Trying to use a Blue ray player on my iMac...

I own a sony blue ray player that i am trying to use as my dvd player on my 27 inch imac. I have a mini display port to hdmi cable that is supposed to work. It is plugged in but when i press the command+f2 button either nothing happens or i get a beep. What do i need to do to make this work?

Hey Scottfromnorthport,
Out of the box you can burn and read Blu ray Data discs.
I'm guessing this is not what you are after.
I'm guessing that you want to watch Blu-ray Movies.
OSX does not support this natively how ever there are 2 solutions.
VLC 2.0 has basic Blu-ray support it can be found here VideoLAN - News
Mac Blu-ray player found here http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Which ever route you go down. It's not quite as seemless as you would hope.
It still feels a bit clunky. and needs a fast processor although you should be good.

How do I use my Airport Express with a Blu-ray player?

Hello, first post, long time lurker. Have a question, hope someone can help me
I have an Airport Express V 6.3, currently I have it set to 'Join a wireless network' and its connected wirelessly through a Netgear router that is located on the 1st floor, I'm on 3rd floor by the way. I've been using it for airtunes, but I recently received a Sony Blu-ray Player and would like to connect it the airport express via ethernet cable.
What do I have to set up on the airport express to be able to give the blu-ray player internet?
I've noticed many threads here about airport extreme connected to express...so they weren't too helpful

Welcome to the discussion area, mareithree!
You'll need the 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Express to be able to "Enable ethernet clients" and connect the DVD player. Unfortunately, your older version of the Express does not allow this type of feature.

Should i buy a blue ray player?

i have a 37" vizio 720p that supports 1080i signals and recently bought one of those upconverting dvd players for it and was not impressed with the picture quality at all. i also own a xbox 360 and downloaded one of the 720p movies off of the marketplace and was much more impressed with the picture quality. i was wondering if it would be worth investing in a blue ray player for this tv.

Because the screen size is on the small side. I'd just stick with your XBox for now, and buy a BD player when they come down some more. I have a 42" and I don't even have one.
BTW, all upconverters are not created equal. Each company uses a proprietary algorithm. I have heard that Toshiba is the best at it. What brand did you buy?

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?

Using Airport Extreme with a Airport Time Capsule to update Blu-Ray player

I was wondering if it were possible to hook up a blu-ray player to a second Airport Extreme to update the player? I have a Time Capsule in my home office and a blu-ray on the other end of the house. The blu-ray needs updates. I am wondering if I can use an Airport Extreme as an "extension" wireless unit hooked up to my blu-ray player to have it connected to the net?
Thank you!
John

Welcome to the discussions, John!
You have a few options to do what you want.
Perhaps you were thinking of the AirPort Express when you mentioned AirPort Extreme. The AirPort Express can be configured to "extend" the main wireless network created by the Time Capsule and the ethernet port will be "live" so that you could connect to your BluRay player via ethernet.
An AirPort Extreme would work as well, but you may not need the other extra ethernet ports on the Extreme and extra expense for features that you may not use.
I take it that running an ethernet cable to the BluRay player is not feasible in your current situation.
You may not have thought about the next option, which would make use of a pair ethernet powerline adapters. One device plugs into an AC socket at the head end and another plugs into AC at the BluRay end. The adapters use the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. You would run a short ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your AirPort Extreme to the adapter and do the same at the BluRay end.
This type of connection will almost always provide a faster signal than wireless, so you may want to check these out as an option. Best Buy will have several to choose from.

My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

If you can find such a thing. I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.
That would depend on this adapter.

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

You could connect a FireWire Blu-Ray drive and use non-Apple player software.
