Upgraded to windows 8 and blue-ray no longer works

I have a HP pavilon elite hpe 570f and i upgraded to windows 8 and the blue-ray player doesn't work any more.
This question was solved.

Are you saying the optical drive doesn't work at all anymore, or just that it doesn't play Blu-ray discs? Windows 8 doesn't include any software that can play BD movies. Check if the drive can read a music CD, and if it can, you probably just need to download third-party BD player software to play BD movies.

What is the process for connecting ethernet. Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left. Note Airport wireless is working.

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

Burning DVD and Blu Rays

When I try to burn DVD's and Blu Rays I keep getting the messeges that says Roxio has stopped working or AVS Burner has stopped working. I am using Roxio and AVS Burner to burn DVD's and Blu rays. But keep throwing them away when the burners stop working. Only one that seems to work OK is Img Burn. Is something set wrong? Confused?

They are withering. You can get USB standalone Blu-ray and DVD burners.

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!

New MacBook Pros and Blu-Ray?

I am considering get one of the new MBPs. Does anyone know if they play Blu-ray DVDs?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

There's no such thing as a Blu-Ray DVD.
MBPs will play DVDs, but not Blu-Ray Discs (at least not using the built in drive). That may change in the future, but Steve Jobs is on the record saying:
{quote}
Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace.
{quote}
It's hard to say what would constitute when 'Blu-Ray takes off in the marketplace' to Jobs' satisfaction - about 1 in 10 households have a Blu-Ray player of some sort, and about 1 BD disc is sold for every 4 DVDs - but packaged media sales are declining overall (-7%/year) and digital downloads increasing (+23%/year). Jobs once indicated that he though that digital distribution would out-pace BD, and if current trends continue, Jobs will be proven quite correct.
Anyway, Apple does not provide Blu-Ray hardware of any sort for any current model of Mac, or software to provide Blu-Ray playback. Third-parties can't easily provide Blu-Ray playback because of the Blu-Ray licensing requirements (which require the operating system kernel and hardware to enforce a variety of copy-protection systems).

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.

MediaSmart DVD and Blu Rays

Hi. I know this question has been asked before (because I've read it in a bunch of other posts) but I'm still having a problem.
My Blu Ray player was working just fine (I just watched UP about a month ago) until I bought the new Harry Potter movie. When I put it in the player, everything went to hell. It says "content is protected" and something about not being able to play in this display type. And now my other Blu Rays won't play either
So - I've already gone through the basics....I've used Revo Uninstaller to completely remove the old version of MediaSmart DVD. I've downloaded several different versions of MediaSmart and installed them (while being sure to restart a hundred times in between installations and making sure I've completely removed the old ones) I've turned off Norton 360 and Windows Firewall while installing them. And still none of my Blu Rays will play.
Please please help me. I have a HP Pavillion DV7 3065DX running Windows 7. I don't do anything too fancy on the computer except play on the internet and use Itunes (and watch movies....well....used to) If you can fix this, I will name my second child after you....

That sucks, but at least your itunes are back. I don't have anything else, sorry. Except Nuke and Pave.
Do a system restore and use David's method to install the latest Media Smart.
After that it should work, start installing your programs in one at a time to see what is interfering with the Blu-ray player.
You could also try installing a trial version of Cyberlinks Power DVD 11 before doing a system restore, but unfortunately that's not free.
Personally I have had problems with Media Smart too, and I do have Power DVD 8. I will eventually update to Power 11.
The frustrating thing about this is that my Media Smart plays Harry Potter, something is blocking the playback of Blu-ray's and it's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.
The people who manufacture the format do there very best to put all sorts of copy protection protocols on the disc's. I found it gets to the point where the things won't even play. Finding what is interfering is a big challenge.
The other thing that would probably work too is running SlySoft's Any DVD HD, that removes all the copy protection stuff, and that's not free either, but it does work.
http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvdhd.html
It's not HP really. Others like Sony, Acer, Toshiba etc are all in the same boat.
Check this thread out, it doesn't look good for lessien either.

His drive letters are all screwed up, but when I duplicated his situation, my player still worked. Windows doesn't even see the Blu-ray drive at all in his case.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pending on an answer I am waiting for there may be a newer driver direct from AMD that may work, it's dated 2011, where as the one from HP is from 2009.
There is a good chance that this will solve your problem, but I want to be sure that it will work.

Encore CS4, Windows 7 (beta) + Blu-ray = blam!

Anyone else testing on Windows 7 (beta) seen this? On Win7, I've had no issues with Encore through 3 DVD projects, and rendering with After Effects to both MPEG-2 (DVD) and H-264 (Blu-ray 1280x720) has been fast (at least 3x faster than Encore on Vista), but the instant I choose "Blu-ray" from the Build menu, or import a H.264 asset, everything in Windows 7 freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. It's the only Windows 7 major issue I've had so far.
I've been able to reliable replicate this at least 4 times - start Windows 7 64-bit, open Encore CS4 (fully updated), create a brand new Blu-ray project, and (since the first screen I see says "Build DVD") change the Build drop-down to DVD and - oops, the mouse is frozen, the CPU's pretty much stopped... no, it IS stopped or in some loop or something, but Windows is frozen.
I'm not expecting Adobe support, but hopefully they can remedy this in the future and - a warning - close all your apps before you try this on your machine. If I switch over to Vista Ultimate 32-bit, I can do the whole blu-ray project through to burning with no errors (I still prefer to transcode in AE, Encore is a slug), but I can't get past that drop-down on Windows 7. Odd.
My specs: 8GB RAM, Q6600, oodles of HD space, CS4 Master Collection, all latest revs and patches.

You need to do following things to get it working -
1.     Install the new pxhlp driver from http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/kb/General%20Information/000070GN&PARAMS=
2.      Turn off the sleep mode off in Windows 7.
          Steps to turn off the sleep mode -
1. Go to control panel
2. Click on system and security
3. click on power option
4. click on change plan settings for Power saver
5. Set the "Put the computer to sleep" value to "Never"

Error Message sending a job to compressor and Blu-Ray

I am having trouble with a job in FCP 7 and sending it to compressor. it runs and about 20 minutes until completion I get a failed message. "Failed: Quicktime Error: 0" on my m2v file. What could be causing this issue?
I also get a quicktime error while trying to send my project from Share to blu-ray?
Any help would be appreciated!

If I am right, error 0 means that you cannot copy the source onto the destination.
Sure that you have enough space for your project ? or that your project is not too big for FCP ?
Just occured to me with a still that was too big ...

3 questions about FCP 7 and Blu-Ray

Hi Folks,
After reading the other posts on Blu-Ray and FCP 7 I still have just 3 questions:
1. I would like to get an internal burner. I see that at MacMall they have one that is specific for my MacPro model (2008) and there's one that they sell for the 2009 version. So it seems that I have to select a specific drive for my Mac Pro model correct?
http://www.macmall.com/p/MCE-DVD-Drives/product~dpno~7785361~pdp.fedabdd
Does anyone recommend a specific brand/type?
1. If I add the chapters mark on my project and export to a Quick Time file, will the chapters be present and accessible when I burn the Blu-Ray disk?
2. Looks like the best option is to buy Toast but, just to make sure I understood the issue with the share to Blu-Ray: If I just have one simple project with a movie with about 10 chapters, is it worth trying to use the option to share to Blu-Ray or is it not recommended for any type of project?
OK, I know I said 3 questions Just one more?
Back in the days, I remember compatibility issues with some types of DVD media and DVD players (DVD-R, DVD+R, brand, etc). Is there such a thing with Blu-Ray media and the current players?
Again, many thanks for your time and patience!
Best regards,
Ismenio

I use OWC (macsales.com) for purchasing blu ray burners. good company.
Not certain on markers.
I create blu ray disc with Compressor in FCS3 without many issues but not using Share.
I don't advise using Share.
Set your markers on a short clip.
Export self contained with the markers, and then use Compressor directly

Burning both a DVD and Blu-Ray

So I have a project going in Premiere that I've sent to Encore. I picked new DVD project and it transcoded it correctly. I then set up multiple menus and burned it to DVD. Now I want to make a high-def version for Blu-Ray. Is there a way to do that by just re-encoding the video from Premiere so I don't have to recreate all of my menus, timeline markers, etc. in Encore? I just need to swap out the HD video for the SD video in Encore.

Thnks for that feedback Alan. I wonder if, doing the resizing in photoshop using "edit in photoshop," there would be a way to keep the navigation in place? I assume by new project you are resizing in photoshop, but bringing this into a brand new project?
I tend to play safe by saving the BR menu as a file, then opening that in Photoshop and scaling. If I use a still as background I usually scale that separately. The navigation survives, but due to the Encore's default automatic routing of buttons (unless you know a way to turn that off) I still have to reset it to my personal preference.
Obviously, I always work BR to DVD, as there can be difficulties with button sub-pictures -circular dots can turn out with a chord slice missing, etc.
Yes it is a brand new project, which means there can be a lot of work to repeat. Because I use chapter playlists a lot, I have a project saved to use as a template, with a couple of timelines and a dozen playlists each. That cuts out some of the tedium.

Major issues with Airport Extreme and Blu Ray Players

I've been working with this for several days now, and am at the end of my rope. Hopefully someone has some answers.
I've got the original 802.11n Airport Extreme. I've had it since it was released, and have had no real problems up until now.
At the beginning of May I got a new TV with a Samsung Blu Ray player. Model BD-C6500. The first one died halfway through our first movie, and I took it back. The second one worked fine for a few weeks, and then all of a sudden told me that it couldn't connect to the network.
This was about the time that we had a power outage, but all devices were hooked to surge protectors, so I'm guessing that it was just coincidence, but I thought I'd put that here just in case.
Well, the Blu Ray player was a real puzzle. I would try to connect, and it would connect, but not get an IP address. I'd do it again, and then it would but couldn't get past the router. I'd do it one more time, and it would work for a while, and we could watch Netflix. Then it would stop working again.
I finally took it back and exchanged it, thinking that it had some problems. The new one did the exact same thing! Brand new C6500 won't connect, or can't get IP, or can't get past the router, but sometimes works.
Frustrated, I went back and exchanged it for an LG, model BD570. It logged onto the wireless right away, downloaded the firmware update, and worked perfectly on Netflix and Pandora. Success! Until this morning. Now it's doing the same thing, where it can connect, but can't get past the router. No internet connection.
I've got two laptops, a PowerMac, two iPhones, and an TV running on this router with no problems. Settings are mostly standard, with security set for WPA/WPA 2 Personal, with a 13 digit password. I've tried both DHCP and Static IPs for the BD Player. I've used both the router address along with outside servers for the DNS. I've removed password security. I've tried WEP. I've changed the multicast rate. I've done a full reset of the router.
Any help would be appreciated. Wired access is not an option in this location, and I don't want to drop $100 on an Aiport Express if I can help it.

**My Airport Express access point firewall needed to be set to "HOST", then everything worked wonderfully.**
Before the "HOST" firewall change my symptoms were as follows:
The wireless setup process would work sometimes, other times not (not result in a successful connection). Also, when it did work, it would be lost when the c6500 shut off.

FCE 4 slideshows and Blu Ray media

I'm a newbie to video editing and was wondering if I could use FCE 4 to import hi res photographs from Aperture 2.01 and create HD slideshows which would include the Ken Burns effects panning across my panoramic images. I would then like to output the footage to Blu Ray Disc to play in a Blu Ray set top player.
I have Toast Titanium 9, which I'm told will handle the burning to Blu Ray Disc, but will FCE 4 handle the outputting and if so, which format would it output in?
I also intend to invest in an HD camcorder, any recommendations for use with FCE 4/
Many thanks
Mark

Yep, you certainly can - remember the approx 30 minute limit though. And the results from my Sony FX7E via Blu-ray DVD, through PS3 to my Samsung 42" are stunning, and in some carefully filmed and well lit situations exceed the quality of some of the commercial Blu-ray feature films I've watched.
I don't know about profiles. I do know that the PS3 is rated very highly amongst Blu-ray playback devices and, of course, as on online device, it is able to download firmware updates whenever, as ours did soon after we bought it. And you get a free games machine for the kids as part of the package!

DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 and Blu Ray

If I buy an external Blu Ray burner can I burn Blu Ray wedding videos from DVD Studio Pro or do I have to use Toast 9/10?

I want to stick with FCS but need the blue ray option.< </div>
We just don't have a solid grasp of complex BD production around here because this is the Final Cut forum. We've got some dabblers who, you've seen, have contradictory suggestions and their ability to asssit you is limited by their experience and your needs. If you're patient enough, some experts will drop by. But I wouldn't count on it.
If you need sophisticated BD output, you want to hire a BD shop. The economics might not appear to be rational until you evaluate what you will pay yourself to learn a new programming/authoring tool and buy a BD burner.
"Not being to go out for replication" implies the file structure from Encore or Toast is not compatible with the needs of the big duplication houses. You'd want to work with them carefully if you need their services.
