BD-R Only plays on Profile 2 blu-ray players
Hi All,
I burnt a playable PAL Blu-Ray disc with a simple menu and video out of Encore CS5.1. I took it to Curry’s to try it out on a range of players. To make sure it would be compatible on a range of blu-ray players across europe.
What I found was that it only seemed to be readbale on blu-ray players that were at least Profile 2.
I also tried building an ISO and burning that through Nero. Both were identical.
Is this normal for Encore or is there a way to make them backwards compatible?
Thanks

Since your project is 50i then it makes sense it will only player on region 2 players. Region 1 players dont play 50i discs.
BTW….there are no PAL OT NTSC standards in BD, only framerates.

Thanks Eric.
My source video was rendered out of after effects as progressive 1920×1080. Would encore automatically make that 50i?
Also does Profile 2 mean region 2?…I’m a bit confused on that.
Thanks for your quick response

Ahhh….Profle 2. Thought you said region 2.
It could be your profile 1 player just doesnt play burned discs….they are old. Im surprised you found profile 1 players in a store….are your sure youre not talking about region 1 or 2 players, not profile 1 or 2? Theres a difference
If you made a PAL project in Encore then it ,most likely, transcoded what you have to 50i.
Here are the specs
1920x1080x59.94i(=29.97fps interlaced), 50i(=25fps interlaced) (16:9)
1920x1080x24p, 23.976p (16:9)
1440x1080x59.94i, 50i (16:9) AVC / VC-1 only
1440x1080x24p, 23.976p (16:9) AVC / VC-1 only
1280x720x59.94p, 50p (16:9)
1280x720x24p, 23.976p (16:9)
Standard Definition Video
