    HI,
    Has any one out there burnt a BD-RE and played it back on a Blu Ray player?
    I have a Sharp BD-HP20S installed version HU8040100 firmware, but when i ask it to play my disc ,it comes up with the message “can not play this disc” yet it states in the book of words
    the it will play BD-RE. I burn my disc’s in Toast 9 with the HD plug in.

    That Sharp model probably won’t play BD-R. I have one as well. Not all players are required to play burned BD discs. Another thing to remember, I don’t think Toast burns a BDMV, only BDAV. is there a BDMV file?

    HI,
    Toast will burn BDMV the HD plug in will do this, when i open the disc up it contains a
    BDMV folder plus a Certifcate folder.
    As i said the book states this player should play BD-RE or BD-R ,

    Does it contain an AACS folder as well? It’s possible it’s looking for that folder. I have a Sharp and will not play BD-R even though it indicates it will. PS3 is the best platform to use for BD playback.

    Hi.
    No the disc does not have a AACS folder, i opened a BD disc i bought and that has a
    AACS folder. so why is this missing in my burnt disc?

    That’s BD’s copy protection. It’s possible that player needs to see an AACS folder to play. However, the Sharp I have won’t play discs with AACS folder. Some player simply won’t play BD-R. I’m working on an article right now to found out the low down on which players play what. Here’s a master list of players I’m testing. That Sharp is a profile 1.0 player or “Grace Period ” player. Playback from BD-r is unlikely.

    The mid or higher range Sonys and Pansonics have no issues either. Make sure it’s a profile 1.1.
