Dear Friends:

After exploring with the software, i finally decided to compile my vacations on BD-R from a Sony HDR-SR5 AVCHD camcorder, which records @ 1440x1080i. The footage from the camcorder were converted to MPEG-2 using Creator 2009. First i experimented recording this plus an 800+ pictures slide show, a 35 minute video compilation and a 40 picture slide show. I managed to record everything except the 800+ slide show using a 25Gb disk by using AVC. This took about a 48 hour or more rendering by my computer (1.86 GHz Dual Core, 8Gb Ram, 350 G HDD and Nvidia GeForce 8500GT Video Card). I decided to go direct to burn but the operation failed and the error was Project_build to Device () Authorscript Call Failed. Next I tried to go by an ISO file first, which it managed after and equally long time. The file was around 17Gb. When i played the disk, the video came out a bit "jumpy", especially when the camera moves or follows an object. I decided to do it again but using MPEG-2 instead of AVC. The process was shorter, but the error appeared again, except this time a BDMV folder appeared containing other subfolders that resembles the structure of a Blu-ray disk. Can this folder be burned? If so, how? I'm kind of new at this, i have burned DVD's without much trouble, but with BD-R it seems to be a whole new ball game!

You may use more than one very, very, very long paragraph… Makes it easier to read!

Jumpy with movement indicates you are using Hardware Render and your video card is not really capable of doing it. – Switch to Software Render – Tool – Options – Render, in MyDVD or VideoWave.

The ()Authorscript error is an error of your Burner. Check for firmware updates.

Don't really understand why you used mpeg2? Roxio will make a proxy file in mpeg4 to retain the higher quality of HD.

I would go with an ISO file for output which Video Copy & Convert will burn. I think the folder can be burned with the Burn Data Disc app but would use an RE disc to test it with. – None of the regulars have a BD Burner so we have to guess

Jim:

I was going for the ISO file. I'll just go ahead and retry it with AVC and use software render instead.

I used MPEG-2 because when I imported the clips with Roxio it changed them to MPEG-2 and going from MPEG-2 to AVC takes a whole lot longer! I'll go ahead and try that going through the ISO file.

Still what puzzles me a little is the error, if it indeed is a burner firmware error i was not going straight to burning, i trying to get the iso file!

[Jim_Hardin]

The proxy file is mpg4, not mpeg2.

Error mesage is a BD error, at least everyone who posts about it here is trying to output in BD. Those that came back didn't see it again after they updated firmware.

Are you finding any BDMV folders on your computer with the movies in it?

What burner do you have?

Any chance you have .net 3.5 SP1 installed? Not saying that is the problem, but trying to narrow this down. I recently had to uninstall .net 3.5 SP1 because it caused an issue with my accounting app. Just for the record, I have no issue creating a AVCHD on Standard DVD.

So who has .net 3.5 SP1 installed and are you also having this problem?
