Bluray RE dual layer burning
My project size is just over 36g and was created in Vegas Pro 9 and DVD Architect 5. I have just installed a Pioneer 205 dual layer bluray burner in my PC.
When previewing and navigating through the project in DVDa on my PC, all the links work just fine and I have no error reports when it comes time to render.
After a successful burn of the DVDa created .iso to a Sony 50 g BD RE DL, I pop it in my Panasonic DMP-BD60 bluray machine to view it on my TV and discover that I can only watch part of the video and I cannot access any of the menus other than the main (first) menu. So navigation is hosed and I can only play about 30 minutes of the 3 hours of video before it freezes. Tried the disc in a different bluray player (Samsung) with exact same results, including the freeze point.Since this is my first attempt burning a rewriteable dual layer 50g bluray disc, my question is twofold:
1. Is my problem simply a matter of the consumer electronic bluray players not being able to handle playing a BD RE DL disc?
2. Assuming #1 is true, will burning to a BD-R DL make any difference or will I just create a $10 coaster?Any advice would be appreciated. My fallback position is to simply split the project in half and burn it to 2 BD-R single layer.
It is frustrating after investing in a dual layer bluray burner to discover that my machines won’t play the disc. I expect it is something I am overlooking or just plain ignorance.
