  BluRay authoring issues with vegas/dvd achitech

  Posted by John Lockwood on June 24, 2012 at 1:21 pm

  Hello everyone,

  I am running a small production studio. I have made many DVDs with various versions of Vegas, and DVD Architect. I know video formats well and what not.

  I just bought my very first bluray burner. I have had 0 experience with BluRay, even watching them. I do not own a set top player at all. I am going to assume they are not much different then DVDs as far as putting a disc in the drive and playing them except they are HD.

  I know my way around DVDA and Vegas well. So I am not sure if this is a BluRay playing software issue, or something else. My BluRay drive did not come with any playback software, so I have been trying 2 different free software. One is VLC media player and the other is called DAPlayer.

  So here is what I have been doing to try and test out the burner. I make a project in Vegas. I have projects lined u for bluray that involve just HD and one that invloves a lot of SD footage. The only reason I want to put the SD project on a BluRay is because I can put a TON of footage on it (old family videos and what not).

  For my first test, I did a short HD project. I have a Canon VIsa HV30. I capped video from it, did some quick edits, and export the video and audio out in their seperate files for DVDA.

  I made a simple menu in DVDA, set the project target for a single layer 25gig bluray disc, and rednered it into a ISO file.

  I burned the ISO using DVDA, but neither VLC or DAPlayer will play them from the BluRay drive. I thought it may have been a burn issue, so I mounted the ISO vile using the virtual drive program Deamon tools which made the ISO act like a disc in a real drive. Same issue. It would not play back.

  I do not own a set top player to try this out, but I am using BluRay re-writes on these tests so I am not wasting discs. I plan on burning a larger project and trying it on a family member’s PS3 later, but is there something else I should try? Is it it possible these ISO files/burnings are fine, but the software I have won’t play them right?

  I even tried using the program imgburn as I read it was the best to burn BluRays. Same issues.

  Any help would be great! I am running Windows 7 64bit if that matters. Sony Vegas Pro 10.0c and DVD Architech Pro 5.0
