Which Blu-ray players play Encore BDs?

Other threads in this forum state that only some consumer Blu-ray players will play BD-R disks authored by Encore.  As I understand the situation, it has to do with a copy-protection code present in commercial Blu-ray disks but not on "amateur" disks burned on PC-mounted burners, and the insistence of some players, but not all, on finding that code.  In my experience BDs authored by Encore CS5 and burned on my LG BH10LS30 burner will play on a Panasonic SC-BT100 player and a Samsung BD-C5500 player, but not an LG BD390 player.
Is there a list of which players will play BD-Rs without the commercial copy protection code?  Or is there a way, other than buy-and-try to determine this information?  A claim to handle BD-R media appears insufficient since the LG player above makes that claim but rejects the same disks played by the other two.

Sony Outlet in Camarillo, CA.  The sales guys are on commission which probably helps.  I just told him my exact purpose and goal.
In my case it was one player on one TV.
I'm thinking if you just ask your local shop they would do the same (hopefully).

  • Which Blu Ray to buy?

    I just bought a Canon VIXIA HF M31, picture quialty out of iMovie to iDVD is pretty good. However I would like to burn my movies to Blu Ray. Question is which one to buy?
    Thanks

    Any of them. I have an LG internal burner, and put it into a cheap SATA enclosure.
    But, you are aware that iDVD only makes DVDs? Here is my post on this, especially question 6:
    Frequently asked questions for playing back high definition video on a TV:
    Q1. What are high definition and standard definition?
    A. HD and SD are video resolutions defined by the dimensions of the frame size. Standard definition is 720x480 or 720x576 depending on the geographic location. High definition is anything greater than this. The two most common HD resolutions are 1280x720 and 1920x1080. Since digital video uses precise measurements of frame size, all digital video is either SD or HD.
    Q2. Can I make a DVD that is high definition?
    A. No, DVDs are standard definition by design. They must be composed of mpeg2 video with a resolution of 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). DVD players will only play actual DVDs.
    Q3. Is there any way to make a DVD look as good as my HD video looks?
    A. No. You can make it look very good by encoding it with the highest quality, but it will always be standard definition. This will probably look noticeably worse than your source footage if it is high definition.
    Q4. Isn't HD-DVD a high definition DVD?
    A. No, it is a specific term referring to a format backed by Toshiba. It lost a format war to Blu-ray. To burn and play an HD-DVD, you need a special burner and special player. Although it is a dead format, some find it useful and inexpensive to buy an HD-DVD burner and HD-DVD player.
    Q5. Can I make a Blu-ray DVD?
    A. No, there is no such thing; Blu-ray discs are not DVDs. They will not play in a DVD player even though the discs look physically the same.
    Q6. Can I make Blu-ray discs (BD) on the Mac so that I can see my video in high definition?
    A. Yes. You need a Blu-ray burner and Blu-ray discs. You also need to encode and author the discs.
    The current software options are as follows:
    1. Use Final Cut Studio to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: Excellent quality, nice looking menus, subtitles can show the chapter name.
    Cons: Only a few menu choices.
    2. Use Toast v. 9 or 10 with the Blu-ray plug-in to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: Inexpensive and fairly quick.
    Cons: Limited choices of very "stylized" menus, chapters cannot be named, encoding quality may not be as good.
    3. Use Adobe Encore to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: A great deal of control over the whole process, allowing complete design of the disc.
    Cons: Expensive, complicated, and prone to bugs.
    Q7. Does iDVD make Blu-ray discs?
    A. No, it makes DVDs which are playable in a DVD player.
    Q8. Does DVD Studio Pro make Blu-ray discs?
    A. No, it makes DVDs which are playable in a DVD player.
    Q9. Can I do anything to put HD video on a DVD, with a standard DVD burner?
    A. Yes, you can make what is called an AVCHD disc. This puts approximately 45 minutes of HD video on a physical DVD. The result is not an actual DVD, and it will not play back in DVD players. It is essentially a Blu-ray structure on a physical DVD-R. It will play back in most Blu-ray players. Final Cut Studio and Toast (v. 9 or 10 with the Blu-ray plug-in) have the ability to make these.
    Q10. Are there other ways to play high-definition video in HD?
    A. Yes, if you play back from a device rather than a disc of some type. AppleTV and the Playstation 3 can play high definition video to a TV. There are numerous other media playback devices that are essentially hard drives with a specialized enclosure. Also, you can attach most digital TVs to any modern laptop or desktop computer, although interlaced video may not always display properly and might show combing artifacts.

  • Blue Ray Players

     I recently bought a HP Envy 23 All in One PC with a blue ray player, my question is, do you have to play only blue ray dvds in the player.  I have been having problems playing my standard dvd, is this the reason I am having problems?

    Hello 381SDW,
    You are having issues with Blu ray player not playing standard DVD’s, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
    Blu ray players can play what are considered approved standard DVD’s. Which in other words means store bought DVD’s or commercial DVD’s.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

  • Problem timing slides to audio in Blu-ray slideshow in encore cs5. Help!

    I'm using a 2006 mac pro 1,1 with 7GB, and I'm trying to make a blu-ray slideshow with encore cs5. There is about 20 minutes of music for 99 slides. I click "fit slideshow to audio" and the time per slide increases to about 12 seconds, which is correct, and when I preview the slideshow it
    plays back correctly. But when the blu-ray or image is burned, the slides last only about a second or two each and the audio cuts off abruptly at the end of the 99th slide. This project, by the way, has two slideshows which play one after the other. Both have the same problem.
    Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.6.4)
    Video display card / driver version: Quadro FX4500
    I examined the blu-ray file streams created by encore cs5 with VLC. The slide transitions (cross dissolve) were about 2 megabytes each and played correctly, but the slides themselves seem too short at around 300kb and don't play back at all. Video Blu-rays work fine; the problem only shows up on blu-ray slideshows. When that same slideshow is burned as a dvd, by the way, it also works fine. What's going on?

    I have just the same problem with Encore CS5 running on Windows 7 64 bit:
    When i create a slide show with music,the length of music defines the
    length of the slide show every thing works fine when i play the e show with preview
    function in Encore. When i burn it on a blu ray disk it works fine
    (in sync) playing the BD disk on the PC, but when i play the BD
    when i play the BD disk on a BD player (Sony BDP-S300 or BDP-S470) the music
    stops many seconds before the slide show is finished.
    Burning the slide show with Encore on a DVD everything works correct. 

  • Blu-ray authoring in Encore - importing from FCP

    I do all my post in FCP and I am shooting HDV 1080i and then want to burn Blu-ray using Encore. I tried creating a quicktime reference file and then importing it to Encore - the SD DVDs look okay (with jagged edges at times - interlaced video problems I guess) and play back fine. However, the Blu-ray wont play back (it burns fine) on the Sony BDP-S300. Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong?...My video length was 60 mins and Encoe showed the size as 8GB (which seemed a bit low for 60 mins of BD). Let me know if you have any suggestions on troubleshooting. I used the automatic settings for transcoding for now (I will customize the transcode settings once I know I get the BD to work)

    Does your Sony player have the latest firmware updates?
    Try encoding the video as Mpeg-2 in Compressor for a BluRay file, then import into Encore. It should say "Don't Transcode" under the BluRay transcode settings if you got it right. Letting Encore do all the encoding is a bad idea for both of those options. Even for DVD I would use compressor, Sorenson, BitVice, or similar encoding software...but since Compressor is free with FCP....
    Burn the disc, or burn a bluray ISO then use another program to burn the ISO to your bluray disc.
    I would suggest investing in 1 or 2 BD-REs to make this part less expensive.

  • LG blu ray players to stream FIOS channels wireless

    I am looking to try using a wireless LG blu ray player to stream some channels from FIOS instead of having to purchase additional cable boxes for some bedroom TVs.  I can not find the technical requirements  I need in a device to get this to work.  Is FIOS DLNA compatible? Has anyone found a wireless blu ray player that has had experience with streaming channels from Verizon as is advertised on their website?

    The first link contains support information for LG streaming devices. At the bottom of the page it shows the two currently supported Blu Ray players. You would need to do your own evaluations in regards to the wireles. But right now I have for example, Redbox Instant Beta loaded in my Iphone and it streams Via 3G or Wifi.
    The Redbox Beta list of players is not final, as the service is being tested.
    Not the same as a BD player, but my X box is streaming those 75 channels with an ethernet cable, and I have not tried it with wireless.
    Samsung information is also available from Verizon.
    I hope this information is helpful. They may not show it but here are Verizon's listed devices that can download the app from the app stores.

  • Analog outputs for Blu-ray players

    I'm not even sure if you can play a Blu-ray on an analog TV, but the internet features are usable, if you could display them. I know HDMI to RCA adapters can be purchased, but why make the consumer have to buy them. MANY people still have analog televisions. I think a large market is being missed. I use my Blu-ray players for the internet functions a lot more than I play discs.Also, many people still have analog stereos and can't output the sound. I know some players have coaxial outputs, but older stereos can't use them.It's going to be a long time before everyone has digital TV's and stereos. If these units had RCA video and audio, they could still have use for a Blu-ray player.

    Hi
    I saw your question and was wondering if 4 months later you had found out any useful information about the BDP-S780 connectivity to any TV.  Info about the webcam/video camera to connect to it would be equally useful.  Thanks.

  • Which Blu Ray allows browse and search with net flix rahter then Queing up threw computer ?

    Im reading here that there is a samsung model that will allow this but i cannot get the actual model # dose anyone know which model this is or any other player that will allow this feature. Thanks.

    I don't personally exactly know about the samsung version, but if you have found that it does then ALL samsung models will do it as they all have the same internect content software (Their TVs too). Xbox 360 & PS3 do allow searching. Sony Blu-ray players, 2010 models at least, do not offer that, and I'm pretty sure that LG does not either. But like I said, I am unsure about Samsung.

  • E4200 Connection issues with two Samsung Blu-ray players at a time

    Hi everybody,
    Sorry about my English,
    I have E4200 V1 router, it is working fine, and I am connecting different type of devices with it like desktop computer, laptop, iphone, printer and two Samsung 3d smart Blu-ray players. Everything is working fine. I have charter cable internet.
    But the problem is this: when I play movies via Netflix on both Samsung Blu-ray players (one player is in my family room and second player is in up stare bedroom) one player stopped playing movie and disconnected from the wireless network and message shows (check your wireless network).
    When I stopped/turn OFF the second Blu-ray player, then the first one got connected with network and start playing movies.
    I can’t run both Blu-ray players at the same time on this E4200. When I was playing both players at that time all the other devices I mentioned above was connected with the same network but were not performing any task, those were in sleeping mode.
    I also changed the QoS, Quality of Service setting to high priority using MAC address for both players, but it is still not playing both Blu-ray players at the same time. Just one plays the movies at a time.
    Any idea or help to solve this issue, I would really appreciate that.
    Thanks,

    Hi, chzsoona. Have you tried changing the channel of your wireless channel? You may try channels 1, 6, 9, 11. If you have a version 1 router, check your firmware version it should be 1.0.05. If you have version 2 router then you may upgrade it then use Linksys Smart WiFi so you can take advantage of the Media Prioritization.

  • H.264 Blu Ray will play in most players, H.264 will not. Is this true?

    I was told that the H.264 is a universal format, but to make it play to Blu-Ray standards for players you must use H.264 Blu-ray.  If not, it may not play in all Blu- Ray type players . The same goes for MPEG-2 Vs. MPEG-2 DVD.
    Is this true?
    Thanks in advance
    Premiere Pro CS 5.5
    Encore 5.5
    Media Encoder 5
    Power Mac Intel Xeon
    10GB RAM

    to phrase the answer another way...
    h.264 for Bluray is a subset of the full h.264 standard.
    Why? Because it has constrictions on it so that the bluray player's silicon-chip h.264 decoder doesn't have to be overly complicated (thus cheaper)..
    So, while a non bluray h.264 stream MAY play on a bluray player, it isn't EXPECTED too.
    As an example - if you compare the h.264 to the h.264 bluray columns you'll see that h.264 has "Levels" 3.0...5.2 but BR only has a subset of those. Likewise for the "Profile" and Screen Resolutions @ specific FrameRates.
    Note that both are h.264/AVC encodings, it's just that the BD version is allows far less combinations of settings.

  • Blu-ray disk plays with snowy pictures at the beginning

    I need help with a new issue with my burning (Win 7 Pro, CS5.0 from Adobe's original installation disks, LG BD-rewriter; different BD-R, BD-RE blank disks: Sony, Philips, Kodak).
    While playing within Encore with the "Preview From Here" feature doesn't show any problem, burning (either directly from Encore, or from file with ImgBurn) and playing for the TV on the Blu-ray player (Panasonic DMP BDT330), every once in a while, the beginning of some menu items plays a snowy noise intermittent with some black frames for anywhere between 3 - 6 seconds. Playing back several times, this issue happens at the beginning of different menu items (and mainly when playing a playlist with the same items).
    Playing commercial Blu-ray disks, or my older Blu-ray disks, there is nothing wrong with the playback.
    It seems to me that this is something either that Encore or the LG OD does. Before I start reinstalling the CS5 suite (removing it with Revo first), I would greatly appreciate any idea about the cause of this behavior.
    Also, it would help me to eliminate some of the possible culprits if I could play back the Blu-ray disk directly from my BD drive. I would appreciate any suggestion for a good and tested software (free, or paid for) that would not interfere with Adobe (or mess up my "pristine" OS ).
    Thank you very much,
    Laci.
    P.S. My guess at this point is that the culprit is the BD burner. While commercial DVD/BDs are "pressed", home burners use PCM (phase change memory - and also memories from my Intel years working on their reliability). If the burner laser gets older/defective, then the melting/recristallisation of the PCM lmemory element might not be "perfect", and when it is read, it sometimes gives the wrong response (even with ECC which I am not sure they employ in DVDs).
    I am still waiting for, and greatly appreciate, some advice before I rush to buy a new burner or reinstall the whole CS5.
    Thanks,
    Laci.
    P.P.S. Sorry for all these information most of which is probably irrelevant (especially the PCM memory part ). I opened (should have done first) the BD disk on my computer and checked the m2ts files in BDMV > STREAM > *.m2ts. They all (including the motion menus) play flawlessly on the computer with WMP. So, the burning and playback of these files causes no problem. The problem most probably comes when Encore builds the navigation. Since the motion menus on the disk also play without any hickups, I assume that it is the Encore itself that causes these problems. I am going to reinstall CS5. (The still open question at this point is, how it is possible that this snowy few seconds before some of these m2ts files does not always happen at the same m2ts file playing back the same BD disk on the TV.)
    I would still appreciate some input from the expert users.
    BTW, is there any program out there whith what I could substitute Adobe Encore? (This is the only weak spot of the entire suite ).
    - Laci.

    the beginning of some menu items plays a snowy noise intermittent with some black frames for anywhere between 3 - 6 seconds. Playing back several times, this issue happens at the beginning of different menu items (and mainly when playing a playlist with the same items).
    What does menu items mean? I assume that it is menus themselves, not timeline movies?
    What could Encore do that would create this? I don't know, but assume that it is more likely to do with disk seek problems and the like. And yes, where things are put physically on the disk can be an issue. But burn/disk issues are more likely.
    Have you tried this on a different player?

  • Blu-Ray Stops Playing at 1st Chapter Marker

    I am battling an issue I cannot get my arms around.  I have a 3-hour video that I have sent From Premier Pro (CS4) to Encore via Adobe Link.
    In Encore I rendered the video as a Blu-Ray image and set the play parameters to make the disc auto-playing.  That is the DVD has no menu start page.  The First Play is set to the beginning of the timeline, and the End action is STOP.
    I do not have any Overrides set at all in my Encore project.  I have checked both the disc and the timeline panels, and Override is set to "Not Set" in both cases.
    I have Encore Chapter Markers at the origin of the timeline and at every day thereafter of an 18 day trip.
    The .iso image file produced by Encore was then copied to discs using CyberLink Power2Go.
    When the (Blu-Ray) DVD is put into a player, it starts fine but then terminates play at the 1st marker after play starts (this is actually the 2nd timeliine marker, as the first is at the origin, or zero point) about 9 minutes into the DVD.
    When I examine the Stream file  (BDMV>STREAM>00000.m2ts) on the disc, it does contain the entire video, and it plays just fine.
    Thus I am assuming that something has not correctly constructed the playlist scripts causing the playback to start at the beginning but STOP at the first Chapter marker it encounters after starting play.
    Any thought on how to debug and fix this issue will be GREATLY appreciated!!
    PS - I just opened this Encore project and used the Preview function to play the video.  The preview STOPS also at the first chapter marker (9 minutes into the video) exactly as in the finished DVD.
    I can find nothing unusual about this marker, but it is obviously the culprit!

    OK.  I think I found the issue but not sure why!
    When I set the project up in Encore in the Flowchart window I set the Timeline icon (linked to by the disc as the 1st play item) to an End Action of STOP.
    Since it was the entire timeline that was my 1st play asset, I assumed that the STOP End Action would be at the end of the DVD.
    BUT, apparently it Stops when it encounters the first Marker.
    If I go to the Timeline in Encore and click on the individual Markers, all of them but the first one have an End Action of "Not Set" but the first one has "Stop".
    I have just changed that 1st (at the timeline origin) Marker's End Action to "Not Set" and the last Marker to "Stop"
    I'm guessing this will fix it.  Will report back after I preview things.
