Will a DVD-5 (HD MPEG-2 Encoded) play on my Blu-ray player?

Is there any way of checking that a 30 minute HD DVD recorded on a normal DVD-5 will play on a Blu-ray before you buy it?
I am thinking of getting a very cheap Philips BDP 3000.
I suppose I could always get the sales staff to agree to let me return it if it didn't work!

In Compressor, HD DVD means just that. It is referring to the obsolete format. Most of us would like to see that removed from the Final Cut suite; it just usually leads to confusion.
In compressor, you can create a new batch from template, select "create blu-ray disc" and it will do just that, with limited but nice looking menus. It will also create an AVCHD disc (Blu-ray structure on a DVD-5 or DVD-9) if you have a DVD-R in the drive.

Will I need to buy a digital tuner if I buy a blu ray player?

I was looking at the blu ray DVD players and noticed that some came with a digital tuner and some without. Will I have to buy it separate if it does not come with one or will my HDTV provide that?

I was comparing an LG blue ray player BD390 and a Sony Blue ray player BDP S560, out to the side listed under features was Digital tuner; The LG said yes and the Sony said no. Both were listed around 250$ I was wanting to know if I need this? Do I have this covered by having an HDTV? Why does a blue ray player need this? The reason I asked is to understand the digital tuner issue a little better. Thanks for your replies.

New Blu-ray player and DVD-R media... strange problem?

Hello,
So, I have a sample disc that we made last year with various clips on it. To the best of my knowledge, everything has worked just fine. Now, I have a new Sony Blu-ray player. I put our sampler in, and one of the tracks does NOT play the audio. Plays the video, no audio. Inserting the same disc into our other players and the audio plays with the video just fine. Grab another sampler from a different build/burn. Same EXACT issue, on the same exact video track there is no audio but the disc works in all other players. Now here is the real kicker- take either sampler disc and play it in the Blu-ray player, go to the track that plays the video but no audio, play it for a few seconds, then rewind and play from the beginning, and you get sound. Jump back to the chapter index and choose the clip, no sound. Rewind & play you get sound.
Anyone want to give my any ideas as to what is going on?

For what it's worth, the project was edited in FCP, Compressed using Compressor. I don't specifically know the exact settings, but I typically use VBR with an average of 6 or a CBR of 5. I always use AC3 audio. DVDSP authored the disc. I usually keep my systems up to date, but the disc was authored last January so I would have been using whatever the latest system updated in January were. And finally there are two builds of the disc. The 2nd build has DVD Rom content added to it. But either build has the same exact issue with the same exact tack.

Not Really. Try using another batch of discs. Author the project over again..maybe it will help.

PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
Thanks in advance!

Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.

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?

Adobe Media Encoder - Encore - H.264 Blu-ray

I just exported a Premiere Pro timeline using the Media Encoder with H.264 Blu-ray format and the 1080i 29.97 HQ preset. Presumably, you would choose this so that you do not have to transcode when you get to Encore. However, when I put my 16GB M4V file in a timeline, it wants to transcode saying it is "Untranscoded". Why? It also says the Blu-ray disc is only 11GB.
Please tell me there is something I can do to prevent from having to re-encode or transcode this file when it is already in a Blu-ray format.

hello,
"This bug is with only H264 VBR 2 Pass presets and if you change to VBR 1 Pass keeping evverything same, the bug should not be there."
honestly speaking, most everyone agrees that 2 pass is better quality than 1 pass
and if this issue has been happening since cs4 and we just received our first update
to cs5.5.1 for ppro, why does adobe still require us to 'lower' quality settings...
it's almost like adobe doesn't want us exporting a full quality BD...
doesn't adobe have the resources to fix this issue already?
unless there is an acceptable answer, then shouldn't this be unacceptable...?
this is almost like saying, "yeah the full hd presets don't work, but if you use the standard def presets, you should be okay..."
especially if other authoring programs can do 2pass BD discs...
is there an acceptable answer as to why this issue hasn't been fixed?
is there any plans to update encore?
thanks,
jeffrey

PAL versus NTSC will both play in a US blu-ray player/HDTV?

I'm sure I could test this and find out, but I'm sure someone has a quick answer. If my assets are 720 X 576 I have heard that Encore re-sizing will create some quality issues. Would I be better off just editing this in Premiere Pro and Saving in the same 720 X 576 format, burning it to a 25 gb Blu-Ray disk in Encore and then playing it in my Blu-Ray player as is, or would this not work and the asset would have to be re-sized to 720 X 480?

Hi.
A few things.
1 - PAL BluRay is frankly a mess. you cannot use 25p, only 50i and support is sporadic as it just is not in the BluRay specs.
2 - For universal BluRay, you must use either 60i, 30p or 24p for it to work on US/Japanese players.
3 - 720x576 is not BluRay spec - it is SD. Whilst you can use 720x576, it is not recommended as few players will cope with this.
You definitely do not want to scale this (upres) in Encore. Or PPro. It will look like a dogs dinner.
4 - Converting from PAL to NTSC involves more than scaling - the frame rate has to be altered from 25 to 29.97 (30 actually, but we're not talking about timecodes & drop/non drop frame counts now )
It needs to be done properly - Jeff Bellune has a superb tutorial on acheiving this with open source software at http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php
Hope this helps

No you cannot.
You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer. You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

Okay Sorry I also wanted to know WHY no Blu Ray discs work in that player. Regular DVD dics work in there.
One of the 2 items is the issue:
A: The BR laser section of the drive is dead, it's not the same as the DVD laser
B: The version of the HP DVD software you're using is not recognizing the BR discs, this is almost always solved by using the latest version.
You can also eliminate or confirm B: by using a trial of another product such as Total Media Theater, but do NOT use any Cybermedia products since they are the OEM for HP.

Can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

My Sony Blu-ray player keeps restarting while playing a DVD.

While playing a DVD in my Sony Blu-ray BD/DVD player it keeps shutting off, then automatically restarting itself and goes back to the home menu. It is a BDV-2100 Series. Any suggestions? I've turned off the Sleep settings. Unplugged for 1 minute and turned back on. I haven't found any helpful suggestions for this in the COmmunity Support questions. Is this a common problem with this series of Blu-ray?

How to burn full hd clips onto dvd-r with Blu-ray burner to playback on a set top Blu-ray player?

hello,
Blu-ray media is still expensive for exporting of small HD projects.
If i have a Blu-ray burner,
can i burn BD exports onto DVD-r's (4.7Gb)
and play them in a set top Blu-ray player?
aka: Does a DVD-r accept a 'blue laser'?
(Menus at this point are not necessary)
Mostly i am wanting to burn 3-4 minute music videos onto DVD-r discs
in full HD Blu-ray without having to use an expensive Blu-ray disc each time.
thanks
j

hello,
at this time the answer is yes
they are called BD5 and BD9 discs
the BD5 is a single layer DVD-r disc that holds BDMV
the BD9 is a dual layer DVD-r disc that holds BDMV
now i'm trying to see if Encore CS5 burns BD5/BD9 discs?
thanks,
j

HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
Thanks for your help.

For Blu-Ray creation:
I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

Will a DVD-5 (HD MPEG-2 Encoded) play on my Blu-ray player?
