Burned A Dvd-Dl From A Bluray And My Bluray Player Won't Play It

[kelleysislander]

All,

 

I just burned a BD9 on DVD-DL from a Bluray and my Bluray Player won't play it, saying that the disc is not playable. It mounts OK in my Mac, and I can explore its contents just fine. Also, VLC can play the source BDMV folder.

 

Is this a problem with my Bluray player, or perhaps my disc? Are there certain brands of players that are known to be compatible with these DVD-DL's burned from Bluray in Toast 10?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

Thanks for replying...

 

I also went and got the "compatible" Magnavox model "Magnavox NB500MG9" which is supposedly able to play Bluray content from a standard DVD and it does not.

 

I was wondering, what is the directory hierarchy of the disc that you successfully played? ie.

 

Directories / subdirectories

 

BDMV (Directory)

> Stream (subdirectory with *.m2ts files)

> Certificate (subdirectory)

> Auxdata... (subdirectory)

 

I have heard that some players choke when they see certain subdirectories, so that by removing them the discs will play correctly.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

 

Sorry but the only files that I played are the regular DVD movies, which you can compress with most Video Converters. I just burned two different

Christmas disks using blank BD disks in the internal LG BD burner, I was able to fit 12 classic Christmas movies with menus and they played back as good as the original DVD. The only draw back is that it takes hours to encode and then write. I wish I could be more help. I would contact both companies tech departments of your burner and player.

Maybe this is the same problem I had, My friends and I were testing out the new internal LG BD burner. From his cartoon video collection we were only allowed to drag 98 cartoons. ( This is an alert message from Toast.). After the long burning, I inserted the BD disk on my Sharp BD player but it kept spitting out the disk, I then took the disk to a local TV sales dealer and asked them to play on their BD set up and it played with no problem at all. and also the menus worked.

I contacted Sharp's tech. it seems that this unit will only allow a BDAV format to work. the LG only burns in BDMV format. I then ordered a refurbished Magnavox BD player from J&R Music World, jt plays BDAV, BDMV. so check your specs of your burner and player. I hope this is the problem.
