  Using Blu-ray Settings to Burn on DVD?

  Posted by Marlen Mathers on September 23, 2011 at 8:37 pm

  I’m trying to burn a project that I rendered in Sony Vegas Pro 10 with the following settings: MPEG-2 Blu-ray 1920×1080-60i 25mbps video stream. I rendered the audio next using AC-3 Pro. The file size is 1.4G

  I bring that project into DVD Architect Pro 5.2. DVDA Project setting are “Blu-ray disc”, MPEG-2 1920×1080 23.976, 16:9, AC-3 Stereo.

  When I try to burn onto a standard DVD I only get the audio. I tried reducing the bit rate in half and reducing the speed of my Pioneer BD-RW down to 8x – still no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I just need to go out and buy a Blu-ray blank disc.

  As you may be able to tell, this is the first time I’ve tried to produce an HD project for DVD….

  In what way are you “just getting the audio”?

  You can burn a Blu-ray file system to a DVD, of course. But a good number of Blu-ray players won’t play it.

  In addition, for any DVD project on a Blu-ray player, the maximum video speed is 18Mb/s. That’s the standard for AVCHD video on DVD (AVCHD is a format for camcorders, supported by nearly every Blu-ray player, that’s derived from — and very similar to — Blu-ray. But not identical). This indicates a 2x DVD player.

  Assuming this is the result you see on your Blu-ray player (you didn’t actually state where the playback isn’t occurring), it sounds like your player actually does support the Blu-ray on DVD formatting, but is failing to play back 25Mb/s video on DVD. Try rendering to Sony AVC at 16Mb/s or so (there’s a template) and see if your Blu-ray player will handle that.

  Thanks Dave –

  by “just getting the audio” I was referring to playing the DVD in my Blu-ray player. When I put the disc into the Pioneer BD-RW player, it automatically begins to play – however you only hear the audio (the screen is black).

  I’m going to try rendering to Sony AVC at 16Mb/s and see if that helps.

  thanks for tip.

  Awesome! It worked. I used the Sony AVC at 16Mb/s Template and it played beautifully on my player.

  Thanks for the help…
