  • DVD Architect won’t render full Blu-Ray .iso

    Posted by Robert Billie on December 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm

    Can anyone help me? I’m trying to use DVD Architect 5.0b to make a Blu-ray disk. I have MPEG-2 files which are 1920×1080 23.976 fps 18mbps bit rate. I chose Blu-ray as my disk type, 25GB media, I select prepare, all indications say I’m about to prepare a 21GB blu-ray disk but all I get is a 3.89gb .iso file and it only takes 20 minutes. What am I doing wrong? I burned the file to a standard DVD to see what I got and all I have is a very stuttered 10 minutes of the video in what looks to be dvd quality and pretty much all of the audio. I absolutely selected Blu-ray disk through the whole process. I burned the .iso to DVD in another session.

    I know you said that you did… but are you sure you set your project to Blu-ray in the project properties? That’s the only thing I can think of. Try creating a new project (File | New | Disc Format: set to Blu-ray Disc) and drop the HD file in and try again.

    Yes I’m absolutely sure I set the project to Blu-ray disk. The program tells me it is a Blu-ray project and it also tells me the project is 22gb. The MPEG-2 files I’m trying are large but don’t require recompressing. No matter what I do with bit rates, resolution, sound file types etc, it says the project will be about 22gb but only produces a 3.8gb file and says it’s done. It seems like it’s trying to make a standard DVD .iso but I can see the temporary Blu-ray folder created while it’s preparing the .iso so I know it’s starting to do a Blu-ray. Maybe my program is corrupt?

    Check the time lines and make sure you have the end marker(s) ACTUALLY at the ends of the videos or are they set short of the ends thereby cutting off part of the videos.

    I changed the bitrate of my file to 18mps from 10mps and forced a recompress and then DVD Architect made the .iso file the correct size. Although the project properties called for 18mps, the file I imported was 10mps so I guess that made the program render the project to DVD size? Anyway, it works now.
