My Blu-Ray Movie Burning Experiences... - Page 61

hey now a days bluray are also getting cheap
25gb discs are under 3.50 apiece
since u r in naperville IL check frys electronics in downersgrove IL
usually thats where i got my bd-r's(most movies are under 25gb when we eliminate the extras)
50gb cd freaks got group buy 50gb comes under9.62

25 GB discs would do just fine then. All I would care about is burning just the movie. I could careless about all the extras and special features. $3.50 a piece isn't bad. I'm sure you can get them cheap on Amazon too. I just need to buy a burner. I will probably get one later this year. I don't have a computer or laptop that would be able to play the discs (or an HD screen). Would putting a Blu-ray burner in a 5-6 year old PC work if I just wanted to use it to burn Blu-rays?

Its not how old is the computer (logically yes)
but atleast you need
p4 core2 duo min
2gb ram with good graphic cards

actually i can build a pc with in $500.00 range with out burner

I never use the PC. The family uses it. I mainly use my laptop, but it has 2 GB of ram for sure I think. Not sure about pentium 4 core 2. If it doesn't meet those qualifications then you won't be able to burn Blu-ray discs?

the bestway is
there an 2mb software
which is called cybeylink bd advisor
u can install and ranon ur laptop it will tell u exactly if its comptable or not
for laptops u can upgrade harddrive and ram but not graphic card
good luck

Thanks

I bought the LG GGW-H20L (PC internal Blu-Ray burner) a few weeks ago, and put it in an external WELLAND/Sunbright 5.25" housing
http://www.allneeds.com.au/prod705.htm

The LG is SATA, and this housing converts it to eSATA + USB. I only use the USB - works fine, burns DVDs from my Laptop @ 16x.

BTW: forget using BD-RE - takes 1hour just to deep erase a BD-RE SL, plus another hour to burn a 22G AVCHD !

BD-R works fine.

I the housing for $70AUD a month ago from GETRIGHT COMPUTERS http://www.getright.com.au/v2006ver1/ in Adelaide, Australia (even though they do not have it listed on their web site.

Burns BD-R SL via USB just fine. I haven't tried BD-R DL yet.

Hi,

I have been using Toast 8 to burn Blu-ray ISOs to single layer BD-Rs for nearly 2 years now. I have used Sony, TDK, Panasonic and other media with no issues. In fact I never had any issues at all. I just got some Traxdata inkjet printable BD-R 25 media and hit my first snag. It looks like they aren't compatible. Toast gives a buffer error and fails to write. Unfortunately I bought a lot of these BD-Rs. I really didn't know there were compatibility issues, (a la DVD-R in the 90's), and I had hoped my LG GBW-H10N would last me a bit longer.

I have the GBW-H10N burner in an intel Mac Pro and the firmware is GL02. I have found firmware upgrades but only for PC. I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me if I can in fact upgrade the firmware, (maybe using Boot camp), and if I do will these Traxdata discs be usable with my set-up (GBW-H10N, Toast 8, Intel Mac Pro)?

The vender offers me Moser Baer BD-R 25s as a replacement. Will I have the same issues with those? I can't find info or compatibility tables for them.

Thanks very much for any help. Harold.

YES-- looks like there is a GL06 FW upgrade
newer FW recognizes NEWER medias
suggest u swap the LG into a PC (intel)
4 upGrade of the FW....

hey...just part of the FUN being on the Apple Fringe

Thanks Mouw. Jumping the hurdles to upgrade seems worthwhile in any case. I will have a go using Parallels or Bootcamp first before digging it out.

BTW Is there an up to date compatibility table of BD media vs BD hardware? It would seem like a good idea.

Hi guys, I am new to BluRay ripping.

I own about 50 BDs and a Popcorn Hour 110.

I now want to rip my BDs and store them on my server to playback with my Popcorn.

I am going to buy a BD reader for my computer. The big question is, what is the easiet way to rip them?

I also use DVDShrink for DVDs.

I would like to keep the TrueHD tracks since I do use them a lot for playback.

Is there a guide hosted anywhere?

Thanks!

Jeff

the best one is ...since u wanna keep true hd and all the stuff
anydvd hdis the best software
next bd-rebuilder this software shrinks like dvdshrink

I found a nice table for Traxdata BDs, and sadly my LG is not supported even with the latest firmware.

Does anyone has similar info about Moser Baer BD-R 25GB compatibility?

Thanks

Amazon has a gold box offer for Corel VideoStudio Pro X2.

Is this software any better than, say, Movie Factory 6+ HD add on pack?

Seggers

ur lg is not supporting means...
it stops in the middle of the burning
or in the begining or just rejected to show the blank disc
whats exactly its doing
please be more specific

try imgburn it seems well comptable

As note AnyDVD is probably the best option to handle the encryption on your discs. But if you don't want to spend the money on that, there are plenty of freeware tools that can an equally good job, albeit with more effort. Be prepared to invest time in this.

Also, did you want to just store the discs on the server or did you want to go further and compress the titles to save space. It's possible to compress a 20GB BD title down to about 4G with very little loss in PQ - up to you. If so then you will need to look at tools like x264, Handbrake or megui (which is a frontend for x264).

Finally there is a known bug in the Popcorn Hour A110 in that it will not playback a video stream with a TrueHD audio track unless there is also a standard AC3 there also (even if it's empty). This can be a trap for unwary players.

Have fun

If anyone is curious, this thread discusses and shows screen shots of BDs uncompressed vs BD9 and BD5 via BD-Rebuilder. I'm impressed with the quality retention ... post #8 has a good pic comparsion.

can anyone here tell me the status of tsmuxer? when it creates a bluray folder set, i have read that it still cannot handle HD audio formats and downgrades everything to AC3, yet the release notes say the truehd problem has been fixed, and supposedly it can handle DTS MA ok. can anyone answer this?

i think you better check your math. 15 pack for 65 dollars is 4.33 apiece. with tax thats about 450 apiece

shop4tech.com has blaze discs for as low as 450 each with free shipping and free cases. you can also use coupon code of gg10 for 10% off

Not sure about BD discs but for AVCHD the current version of tsmuxer was always able to create content that included DTS HD Master and would play fine on the PS3.

As of about a week ago a new beta of tsmuxer was released which has fixed the TrueHD problem. I have confirmed this by backing up my copy of Eraser BD, running tsmuxer on it to remove tracks apart from the video and the TrueHD track and outputting a m2ts file. I then input that to multiAVCHD which created a AVCHD folder containing a bunch of 4G MTs files. When copied onto a USB drive formatted FAT32 the PS3 played this content with TrueHD audio. I suspect a similarly formatted folder (smaller perhaps) burnt to a DB would also work okay since the playback process is the same.

Get the latest beta from ftp://213.221.6.90/txMuxer/

You can use the GUI from the previous version if you're not comfortable with CLI

whats the cheapest DL -R is running?

looks like 11$ from Japan

Hmm I see I had a typo in the URL stated above - problem with using two different computers!=

Why does my 300 meg movie file take up 3 gig of space on my
blu ray disc when I want to burn it?

300Meg........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry u have to repeat the question abit more specifically

I think what he's saying is why does a 300Mb file turn into a 3Gb file (about 10 times the size) when it is burnt to a BD.

One thing I'd like to know is how does he get from the soruce file to the destination file. Is it being re-encoded, and if so by what software.

Seggers

I use power director and when i set up a file to burn to blu ray
the file takes up more space on disc then it seems it should.

Unless the software is recoding the video or audio, it should be about the same size as the source files. In the example of 300mb to 3gig, the program is recoding things. You'll probably either need to find a file type that the program will pass or use different authoring software to maintain file size.

I'm a Windows 7 beta tester, and if you're not a beta tester as well, I'll just let you know that they get so many feedback requests that if you have sample images or videos to backup and support your feedback reports for bugs and suggestions, they get a lot more attention.

Anyway, it wasn't until recently that I got a Blu Ray burner, and if you didn't already know, Windows 7 has native support for .m2ts files used in Blu Ray movie discs as well as the videos that many video cameras generate.

However, the one problem is that Windows 7 support is limited to H.264/Standard MPEG-4 ISO support, and it will not playback .m2ts files that have VC-1 video streams instead.

So, I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any good Blu Ray DVD movie creation/editing programs and/or camcorder creation/editing programs that allow you to create .m2ts files and choose your video stream and codec. I'd like to take a home movie I've got, make a VC-1 .m2ts file as an example for Microsoft, and upload it with a feedback report about this issue with Windows 7 not supporting VC-1 .m2ts files, so if anyone knows any great video creation/editing programs that let you create/edit .m2ts files and choose the codec, please let me know.

Also, any alternative methods you've got for taking a home video and generating a VC-1 .m2ts file would also be just as great... I just want an example to upload to MS about this bug. Thanks!
