  • DVD Architect 7 – can’t load a Blu-ray .m2v to burn. Any idea why?

    Posted by H.t Baldwin on August 29, 2018 at 4:01 am

    Hi there –

    Coming across something odd. Now, it’s been 6 years since I’ve tried to burn a Blu-ray in DVD Architect. I used to use Pro 5.2. I’m about to finally release a documentary on Blu-ray and I had to make a couple of tweaks and was trying to burn out a new .m2v but I cannot get it to load in Pro 5.2 at all. It just freezes the program. I tried with Architect 6 and 7 as well and the same thing happened. Freezes, ‘not responding’…..

    Would appreciate if someone could help. I’m using Windows 7. The file is Blu-ray 1440×1080-24p, 25 Mbps video stream / 15i-Frames. The file is clean, I watched it in VLC player. And the .ac3 sound file is in same location with same title .

    I’m stumped. Have a short window to find a solution! Thank you

    Hi community –

    Any ideas out there on what’s going on with .m2v? It’s been a couple years since I’ve tried to load Blu-ray .m2v in Sony DVD architect. Never had it freeze before like what is occurring. Please help!

    Long shot. DVDA 7 may not understand ac3pro audio. Sony Vegas 13 would output .ac3 pro, unavailable in Magix version of VP13.
    Also did you use standard BD templates with Vegas to produce the files. Have had no problems with DVDA other than needing to install Microsoft .NET2 Framework. You can check if net2 is loaded control panel-.prog & features->turn windows features on/off. First item on list needs a tick if empty.

    Best of luck G

    Hi Geoff!

    Thanks for the reply – it looks like .NET2 is already installed. So, I found an older version of the Blu-ray .m2v file of my movie and tried to drop it in DVD Architect 5 – works fine, no problem at all. I dropped it in the Blu-ray Disc template: MPEG-2 1440×1080-24.000p, 16:9 / AC-3 Stereo which is what I rendered the other in. Works fine as you can see in attached picture

    But my new render with a single title card change, rendered exactly the same at: (Blu-ray 1440×1080-24p, 25 Mbps video stream – default 15 iframes) and I can’t this new .m2v file to drop in DVD Architect….

    Can someone please help! I don’t know what I’m missing – nothing has changed, I’m on the exact same machine rendering a file the exact same way and need to burn this final updated render so we can press the film on Blu-ray and send to get duplicated. But it keeps freezing DVD Architect. I must be missing something.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me troubeshoot!
