Mpeg4 To Blu-Ray...

[Da5id]

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible burn a blu-ray video using an mpeg4 file?

When I dragged the mpg file into the Blu-ray Video window the file size dropped from 15GB to 5GB.

When Toast Titanium 10 asked for a disk I inserted a Verbatim BD-R 25GB. The disk was not recognized by Toast.

I shut the application down and inserted the Blu-ray disk. Again the disk failed to launch Toast.

Any assistence greatly appreciated,

thanx da5id.

 

P.S. iMac 2.6GH Intel. Player Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A.

How do I check to make sure the plug-in is installed?

P.P.S. If a blu-ray burner is required; Anyone know anything about Panasonic's Matshita USB 2.0 UJ-220 Blu-Ray Burner?

I'm not a Toast or Mac user, but let's start with your last question. If you're trying to burn to a BD-R disc, you definitely need to use a Blu-Ray burner. Your Optiarc DVD drive as you've seen, isn't going to recognize your Blu-Ray disc.

 

One option, would be to burn an AVCHD disc, which is Blu-Ray quality on a DVD disc. But you have to have a Blu-Ray player that supports AVCHD discs to play it back. A DVD player will NOT be able to play the disc.

 

Hope that helps!
