It will be interesting to see if the 'A' version of the Panasonic player still supports 'red laser' BD.

I have also held off on upgrading my Panasonic firmware until I am sure that I won't lose BD on DVD-R support...!

If anyone can confirm that the Panasonic player with TrueHD support still supports BD images on DVD-R, that would help me towards making that firmware upgrade ...


Yes the firmware fully supports DVD-R HD. New player will play it also as Panasonic makes HD camcorders that use DVD-R.

Guys, I haven't been able to follow this thread for a while & now it's 14 pages! Can someone sum up what the best method for creating red-laser [DVD media] hi-def discs is for the PS3?

Previously, I was simply dropping the MPGs on DVD-Rs and playing them fine on the PS3. Only that 5.1 audio got downmixed to 2.1. Is this still happening w/the latest firmware? Is there a better method for authoring hi-def discs for the PS3? Thanks.

I will definitely take a look at this...

Edit: It does appear to have verify functions - looks great!

Yep, it does have a standard verify after write option. The other "internal" verification procedure was made during the writing on the disc I think. That can only be taken out by using the "fastwrite" option in ImgBurn from what I know so far.

Tell me if you get full 2.0x speed with ImgBurn and fastwrite to on. I am curious.

I found ImgBurn to work great.

The only downside is having to make the image first, where other tools will make the UDF2.5 on the fly.

That said, the time saving is still better doing a 2.0x burn.

I didn't realise this was a 'replacement' for DVD Decrypter - I used to use that all the time to burn images to DVDR.

All in all a great tool. Thanks for the pointer.

To be clear, I am getting 2.0x on BDRE and the verify works just great for BDR. So I am very happy.

The PS3 doesn't have a lot of support for BD images on DVD-R. Sometime the 00000.m2ts file can be played ok, but I gather that larger files (maybe > 4GB?) don't work right.

I have been primarily focused on BDR(E) authoring so perhaps someone else has better or more complete information...

With the new firmware updates for the BD-P1200 and the BDPS1, is BDMV compatibility any better? Or are most people still burning BDAV?

Also, now that the PS3 will support video streaming over the LAN connection, do you think it can stream files > 4GB?

I've never had issues w/the PS3 playing MPGs larger than 4GB on SL or DL DVD media. The issue was the 5.1 to 2.1 downmix.

The issue was with the 00000.m2ts files, which I kind of think was an unintended feature in the first place (or an afterthought feature).

In any case, BD on BDR(E) works fine on the PS3 as long as the discs are authored properly.

Yes, I also was able to play MPG files more than 4GB, but time progress bar was not going beyond the point of 4GB, and there was no navigation ability.

Today, after upgrading to 1.80, I burned 10GB MPG file on BD-RE, and to my surprise, time progress bar showed 2:14 (two hours fourteen minutes)!!!!!!

Sound is still down mixed to 2.0

Nice to hear! Happy to help! Yeah, it's the same creator as DVD Decrypter. He made that tool and removed the decrypting part because of the law problem so ImgBurn is now 100% legal.

That is interesting.

I will try to check some time if the same is true for m2ts files.

I just bought a PS3 and would like to archive HD MPEG-2 footage from my HVR-V1U camcorder and am wondering what the best workflow would be. I don't own the PS3 for games, so I'm thinking I may as well use that 60GB hard drive to store a bunch of video, however... what happens if I throw a 10GB file on its hard drive. Will it just not play past a certain point? Or will it not even allow me to copy it?

I understand FW1.80 resolved quite a bit but am I still required to copy the MPEG-2 files to an optical disc and run them from there? Also, what if I got an external drive for my PS3. I know I need to format it in FAT32 and not NTFS, but does that mean my files can be no larger than 4GB on any hard drive?

Hi Laura,

I have Sony HDR-HC1 HDV camcorder. Here is my workflow:

1. I transfer video from HC1 to PC via firewire and get .m2t file around 12GB for one hour of video.
2. I burn that .m2t file to BD-RE disk with my Blu-ray PC burner in UDF 2.50 format using Nero.
3. I put that BD-RE disk into PS3 and copy that 12GB file to PS3 internal hard drive. You can do that because PS3 internal HDD has proprietary format and can store files more than 4GB in size.
4. PS3 play .m2t HDV files perfectly.

Firmware 1.80 resolved navigation bugs, so all navigation functions work for the whole file.

If you don't have blu-ray PC burner, you can try network, DLNA feature.

External hard drive must be FAT32, period. This means you have 4GB file size limit.

I hope I answered all your questions.

Thank you so much. That clears things up greatly.

And I happen to have a BWU100A burner already, so I guess I'll just pick up a BDRE disc

I guess I got confused mostly because USB connected hard drives only support FAT 32 so I assumed the internal hard drive was also that way. I didn't know it was a proprietary Sony file system.... so that's great news that I can playback ~ 15gb files from the hard drive. Now I'm glad I got the 60GB model!

Darn, you guys are lucky with your PS3s. I take a TS file I recorded for the office, change the extension to mpg and I always get some long numeric error message (800xxxxxx something)... I'm still trying to get these things to play without resorting to authoring an entire BD-R(E).

Schlotkins,

Yes, that is famous error message:

"This video cannot be played. (80028818)"

Try TsRemux to convert your .ts to .m2ts. Here is the link to download:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125447

After you load your .ts file select output format M2TS (192 byte packets), and change file extention to .m2ts.

PS3 doesn't support .ts extention, but it supports .m2ts.

Turns out file transferring to the PS3 can be done a number of different ways. I'm going to try it tonight, I'm just not sure which tool is supposed to be the best.

Anyone have any opinions? There's Vilvic, PS3Portal, and Red Kawa.

I have a question some might be able to help me with. I have a Cox Cable HD DVR, I have a few HD recordings on there that I want to transfer to an external hard drive. How would I go about doing that and have any of you guys had any experince with it? Any help would be great. Thanks James

I sure couldn't get HD mpeg2 .ts files to convert properly to a format that would play on my PS3 using TsRemux! These are files pulled off satellite.

Any advise?

Nero vision 4 make simple BD authoring with AVC and DD. You can authoring in 1080p resolution, multiple DD 5.1 audio stream and simple menu (main menu and chapter menu). It's really interessing because Nero AVC (by Ateme) is a very good professional AVC codec.

James,

Is your Cox's cable HD DVR made by Motorla?
I used this guide, works great for me with Comcast Motorola HD DVR 3416.

thanks,

But it is BDAV only, no BDMV. That sucks.

BDMV authoring is possible only with expensive tools like Sony Blu-Print and Sonic Scenarist BD.

Only Nero Vision 4 support H264/AVC for BD authoring.
Ulead, Cyberlink and Roxio authoring tools working only with mpeg2 video.

So is it likely that the first real Blu-Ray BDMV format authoring app will be Adobe Encore CS3 in July?

Yep, that didn't work for me either. At this point, I think you have to author a blu-ray disc to play it back unfortunately.

Have you tried Mainconcept's, Canopus, or Sorenson's encoders? They seem to be successful when using DVDit HD, just encode it as MPEG2 and play it of the HD...you don't need to author unless you want to play it somewhere else

Which tool did you use and what problem have you run into? What is your source, camcorder footage or TV/SAT rips?

I've transferred half a dozen HDV concerts I've shot and edited to my PS3 and they all playback flawlessly. I used the file-transfer tool "PS3 Portal".

Is it the file transfer itself that is unsucessful, or the playback of your files on the PS3? Cause if it's the latter, it would seem that you're just trying to playback a format that isn't supported that needs to be converted. You may want to use one of the transcoding tools in that case.

However if you're coming from HDV or AVCHD material, it should work 100%.
