Burning to Bluray Directly through Vegas 12

Sure something isn’t wrong with those discs instead?

Hi Steve:

Not exactly sure. They are brand new. I just purchased them. I am trying something else to see if it is the disc. I am currently rendering the project for Blu Ray, then I am going to attempt to burn it on the blu ray disc. For some reason, Sony is not picking up that the disc is writable. When I look on my hard drive, it reads that the disc is a BD – R, so it is reading ok everywhere other than Sony.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi,
just a suggestion, are you sure your disk supports writing? On my computer the Blu-ray drive can only read, so I had to go and get an external Blu-Ray writer. I have a Samsung Portable BD Writer model SE-506. I’m sure plenty of other vendors work as well. I use BD-RE disks, you can use these multiple times until you get a good disk.

Once you do a burn play the disk on a device that you would use to play it – i.e. not your computer. I forecast that in the future you will find that the sound level is too low 🙂

I have not tried a BD disk yet, but, when I insert a blank DVD, Windows always puts up a screen asking what I want to do with the disk. I always shut down that dialogue by clicking the X button to prevent Windows from doing anything to “prepare” the disk.

Hi Mark:

I have the Asus Desktop which has a Bluray burner. I haven’t learned how to use it yet, but I do have Nero Video that I am trying to use currently to burn the file to Bluray. No success yet.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Bob:

I have seen that prompt yet. Maybe, because I put in a Bluray disc. Not sure. Right now, I’ve given up on using my computer’s Bluray burner, and am using Nero Video. I imported the video to Nero, and it’s playing video and now sound. New challenge.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Mark, do you render audio separately as well?

Many thanks,

Hi,
what’s the state of play? are you burning Blu-ray yet?

For DVDA I always render sound and video separately.

When just Vegas “Burn Bu-ray” does it you it seems to render sound and vision separately but it does it all for you.

Hi Mark:

I have not been able to render Blu ray as of yet. I rendered the blu ray settings and am trying out DVD Architect. Architect is not picking up that I have a Blu ray disc; it keeps reading that it is a regular disc and there is not enough memory to burn it. I tried to burn last night, and it took almost an hour, then nothing was on the Blu Ray disc. I don’t know what it was doing.

As far as Sony, it keeps asking me for a writable disc. I’m wondering if it means rewritable. As mentioned I am using BD -R.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi,
I just did a Blu-ray burn on Vegas 13 and (apart from the sound) it works just fine. I’m using Verbatim BD-RE 25gb 2x speed (Hard Coat).I know you have Vegas 12 but I’m sure it worked just the same.

Perhaps you are trying to burn a Blu-ray that is too new for your burner? How old is your machine?

On my pc I have a BD-ROM drive and a BD-RE drive. It is easy to select the wrong one (if you also have multiple drives).

Can you do a device properties on the drive and report back on what you find?
