Thanks for the helpful answers. Right now I don´t have another empty DVD here, so I will try it in the next few days again (it was a DVD-R), and will check the MD5.

is there a way to burn directly to a usb without first burning a DVD?

The only .iso files that I have burned to USB were Windows install discs, but I don't know if their utility works for other media.

You should be able to extract the files to USB using winrar or 7-zip. It won't be bootable, but I don't think you need that.

I can't get the USB to work and I can't burn it to blu ray using IMGBurn.....Can I just buy the friggin disc somewhere? This has been the most frustrating thing ever.

Just wasted $25 worth of BD-R ARGGHHHH


Edit:

Must be a bad bluray burner. The burner came with the computer and this was my first time trying it. I tried a blank DVD in my DVD burner and it worked! Thank god!

Now time to learn!

There are similar commercial Blu-ray calibration discs such as Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics.

Did you ever think of the possibility that your computer is infected with Malware?

Strongly suggest using `ALL 3' of these to scan your computer from `Safe Mode.' (Note: `Safe Mode' with Networking, not Normal Mode!)

http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en

www.eset.com/online-scanner

www.microsoft.com/security/scanner

Instructions:

Please note: the New Malware that is infecting CPUs is what I call Stealth Viruses.
Infects the Boot Sector of the Hard Drive, or installs first before any programs startup. The only way to detect this Malware is to remove your Hard Drive, boot up firstly with 3.5 Floppy on another Malware Free CPU and check Sectors 1 through 63. (An old copy from way back when of nu.exe with the /m switch helps greatly in this matter.) All Sectors except #1 should contain only Zeroes. If not, put them to all Zeroes. Replace Sector 1 with a new MBR.
We're seeing lots of this! What happens - as soon as you boot up, you're already infected! This infection now masks any other infections on your Hard Drive/s. (If you have more than 1 hard drive, also check the other drives. These malwares are know to put backups on the other drives.) Your AntiVirus has also been corrupted to look like it's working, but not! So, AntiVirus downloads new updates, scans, but finds nothing! Once the Boot Sector is taken care of, now scan your Hard Drive with the above mentioned Online Virus Scanners. Of course, we're assuming here that the CPU you're using is infection free?p5browne

On a PS3, will the AVCHD version (burned to a DVD) and the HDMV version (burned to a BD) provide the exact same results for both visual and meter patterns/calibration or will there be any differences?

Misc Patterns C is authored differently, and otherwise there is little reason to suspect playback differences on the vast majority of players. My players measure the same regardless of version. The only reported anomaly I can remember for the current version was a Panasonic player that was unable to output AVCHD as 24p. On a prior version a Panasonic player was reported to measure slightly differently with the HDMV and AVCHD versions, but a cause of the measurement difference was unclear at the time and a software issue has since been corrected on the current version. The general expectation is to find similar output regardless of version, but there may be a handful of players with minor error using DVD media. I consider it safe to say the PS3 would measure the same regardless of media.

There is some mention on the first page that you can use the disc version with the Xbox 360. Do I just burn the AVHC version to a DVD-R?

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm totally lost! biggrin.gif

The Xbox 360 only provides playback for the MP4 video files. The Xbox 360 doesn't support Blu-ray related video playback. You can download one of the compressed MP4 versions, decompress the video files, burn the video to CD, and the video can play after the Xbox goes through an online update to support MP4 playback. The Xbox 360 can also stream video, but I'm not familiar with the process.

Are there plans in the future to add full field saturation sweep and ColorChecker patterns support for Calman v5?

Thanks smile.gif

Are the MP4 links producing incomplete downloads for anyone else?
The link works, and a file downloads, but I can't extract it (not the right file size).

I didn't even notice the mirror link in the first post.
That .7z link worked, just fine.

Many thanks to the developpers for the good program. I've used the dvd to calibrate the tv for my blu-ray and ps3 and I want to calibrate the screen (with the mp4 file )for playback from my usb harddrive. I have a samsung ue46d8000. This one has the RGB only mode which is very handy to calibrate the colors. I've put the mp4 file on my harddrive and connect it to usb with my television. But I can't select the rgb only mode. I can select it with the hdmi input (blu-ray and ps3). Anyone got a solution for this?
post #3588 of 3625

I installed the trial on Windows 8. I cannot get the mounted HDMV or AVCHD to play. I don't know, maybe they have an issue with playing mounted image files on the current version, because I tried a different .iso and it didn't work either. The program was able to play the HDMV from BD-RE and the AVCHD from a DVD disc.

The older versions generally worked with mounted .iso files the times I tried. When they released Version 5 it wouldn't play any of the files here, and it took them some time to fix it. The HDMV is straight Adobe authoring, so maybe they will eventually fix the problem playing mounted .iso files.

OK, I have got to be missing something here. Just got a new Elite 60" so I wanted to try this out. I've got an LG BD390 which is supposed to support HDMV and AVCHD (heck, it's even on the AVCHD sticker on the player). I first tried HDMV (burned to DVD). Checksums matched. Put the disc in and it is recognized as "BD" and then immediately says Disc Error and spits it out. So then I tried AVCHD. Again, checksums matched. Same results - BD, then disc error, the spits it out.

So what in the heck am I missing?

Using some generic DVD+R's

Make sure that your DVD burning software is burning the DVD+R as a DVD-ROM booktype. This is the most readable format of DVD.

I poked around ImgBurn and see no such option. I have tried using different DVDs (some DVD+R DL's) and it actually failed to read back properly in the verify phase. I was able to mount the ISO via Virtual CloneDrive, so it seems fine. I then tried to just burn the contents (vs the ISO) and got the same results on my BD player.... I also lowered the burn speed down to 2.4x, same problem... Am I cursed? Unfortunately my trial of Nero has expired as well and I haven't looked around for other burning SW (built in Windows 7 ISO burner won't recognize my burner for some reason).

I cannot say for certain what is going on. Based on the comments quoted here I might question if it could be a problem with the burner. Personally I might have tried using a burner on a different computer, or I might have checked to see if other computers newer than Windows XP can read the correctly burned discs. On the other hand, considering you're one of the few people reporting to have actually checked the MD5, the problem could also potentially be simply an incompatibility with the player. The last report related to the player model number was more than a couple years ago, and a different firmware version could make any report that the player works with the disc completely meaningless. If you have not updated the player to the current firmware, putting the current firmware on the payer may be another option. The download with the best compatibility will always be the HDMV burned to BD-R or BD-RE with a Blu-ray burner, but even if you had access to a Blu-ray burner there's still some very small chance that a particular player model or firmware might reject the disc. In that case there are commercial products, like the Blu-ray for Digital Video Essentials HD Basics, that have some similar features.

Which did you burn with: Nero, or ImgBurn? An ImgBurn Blu-ray should work. I use NTI, but found the ImgBurn works better.
Other possiblity, some Players don't like certain Brands of Blu-ray Media. I'm using Verbatim with no issues. Played back through an OPPO 93. My Sony and Samsung Players give me problems: Sony won't play properly, and the Samsung is a pain in the butt re trying to Pause.

Thanks for the responses. I'll probably try a burner on another computer tomorrow (think I've got two more at home I can try). Don't have access to a BD burner, just several DVD burners. LG player (BD390) is up to date on FW. Used ImgBurn for all my burns using the DVD+/-RW/BD-ROM drive in my Dell Studio. I can try to burn at work on Monday where I have access to different media, a different burner, and Roxio (though I've got ImgBurn there as well)

Edit:
BTW, the AVCHD disks I have burned are readable on the PC . I just tried playing one of the disks in VLC and it seems to play fine. Menu comes up and can click thru to the selections. Really starting to sound like a player incompatibility frown.gif
