Hd Video On Dvd

[spacepiggy]

I wonder if I've done this properly?

 

I burned a couple of HD Video DVDs with TT12. The instructions claim I can burn Blu Ray quality video to a standard DVD, and it will play on a set-top Blu Ray player.

 

However they don't. The video segments play in Roxio Video Player (no menus, natch). VLC and Mac DVD Player of course won't play the discs. I used both an erasable DVD-RW and a normal DVD-R.

 

Do I need to buy the Blu Ray plug in to make the discs playable on the set top? It is a Philips BDP1200 - very basic machine. It says the discs are unrecognized. The two software BD players I demoed wouldn't play the discs either.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Thanks.

It should have worked. It won't help to get the Blu-ray plugin. Does it have a BDMV file? All I can think is that the Blu-ray player's firmware doesn't recognize Blu-ray format burned to DVD media.

It seems to be correct, BDMV file and Certificate folder containing a Backup folder, which is empty. I guess I'll take trip to Best Buy and try the disc in several different players.
