Hi,
Just joined the forum. I've rendered my main video for this project in Vegas Pro 8.0 as an m2v file and somehow rendered the audio as a separate stream. Figured out how to import the audio and drag it onto the video in DVDitProHD. Set up my chapters, created menus with buttons to link to the chapters and added a jpg picture onto my main menu with everything looking good in the simulation and working perfectly. The video was 1440x 1080 'upper field' shot from a Sony HDR-V1U and I used interlace settings (1920x1080i) for transcoding the menus. My BD-R media is Panasonic with a Philips BD-RE BDD 1001 burner in my Quad-core running Vista 32-bit. The disc reportedly burned successfully in DVDitPRoHD. Popped it into my 60gig PS3 with the latest firmware upgrade (? 2.10) and it read as an incompatible disc. When I loaded it back in the computer, Cyberlink PowerDVD opened the disc only to find 'No Picture' on the 1st play and consecutive menus. Just a black screen, however the audio files on each menu did play and I could click on where the links were supposed to be to advance through the menus and start the video or any chapter. Hitting 'ENTER' on the keyboard would do the same. The video, once playing, was visible and the 'next' and 'previous' chapter buttons appeared to let me migrate through the video. Just no menu pictures. Did I set something wrong with my render settings, specifically the 1920x1080i for the menus? Should I use the PS3 patch to get the disc to read on my PS3? Thanks.

Full Version: 1st Bd-r Burn Won't Play On Ps3
Yes, you have to use the PS3 patch because it's a file Roxio uses to make it play on PS3 FW 1.6 and up.

First, welcome... I would suggest to "burn to volume" (create the files on the hard drive) so you can everything is ok before actually burning to a BD-R. And you can use Nero or other 3rd party software to burn the files. Also, get a BD-RE so you can test, you will find it will pay for itself! It is good that you have the separated streams as DVDit will sometimes come up with the infamous EOF error during building, trust me keep it that way, plus that means DVDit won't have to demux it when building your disc.
which version of PowerDVD do you have?

Thanks. Found how to 'patch' from another post. I'm now trying to get my PowerDVD back up and running - tried to update and messed that up!

PS3 being a version 1.6 and 'forward' patch. Found how to 'patch' from another post. I'm now trying to get my PowerDVD back up and running - tried to update and messed that up! I seem to be using PowerDVD DX 7.0. At least my replacement disc from Dell says that. Was there any issues with that version as to the menus being invisible? I just read someone else's post of a similar problem with 'ghost' menus. That person was using the PowerDVD Ultra version. I guess this could be a Cyberlink compatibility issue and I'll just use an RE disc to try out another burn with the PS3 patch. I am looking to just play the discs on an external player anyway.
