This is all like DVD-Rs all over again, but worse. What’s really crazy is that the Sony players don’t play the discs. I had last week two discs from Netflix that wouldn’t play in either of my Samsung BD players. I took it to Best Buy and tried it out in every player they had, including a Sony, and none played them– and these were replicated Blu-ray discs from Sony!!!!!
What I am doing is either informing clients about the problem and telling them which players I have personally gotten the writable discs to work on and suggesting they get one of those. It’s a disclaimer, but at this point all we can do. The good news is that most people who want small orders of Blu-ray discs want them to show once or at a show or to a select group of people. Most of them are buying the players for the first time. They do work on playstations, which is a big plus!

Getting closer. This is good. It is interpreting it wrong, and I correct it and it is then right. However, when I have a timeline set to 16:9 and then bring it in, the timeline reverts to 4:3 and shows the footage letterboxed.

What program do you use for h.264 encoding? I’ve had a hell of a time trying to bring them in from Procoder.

I didn’t read the 720 thing. Try using Sorensen squeeze with it’s Blu-ray setup. You can download a trial I believe which will watermark your program. I’m using Encore on a Mac and the samsung units are the only ones that seem to play these. What brand Blu-ray discs are you using?
-
I have that Samsung Player and it works. You have to author the disc to either 720 or 1080. It will not accept anything lower for Blu-ray, even though Encore can burn Blu-ray at 480. What ratio are you using?

As I’m analizing this more and more, I think the problem is in the files that Procoder is creating, which, however you save it, have a .h264 extention and not a mpeg4. In theory, can Encore import a .h264 file?

Is the Mainconcept decoder installed when encore installs or do I have to download it from somewhere?

I’m encoding an H.264 file in Procoder. If I create it either in Sorenson Squeeze or Procoder I get the message that the codec isn’t installed. I’m sure I have the 3ivx Mpeg 4 encoder in addition to QT Pro, etc. Do I need to move something to a specific folder?
-
I’m doing lots of experimenting for this, and I’m finding that a lot of files when I try to import them, including some quicktime files, tell me the codec isn’t loaded. Is there a way to load these codecs one by one into a foldier or something so that this will be enabled?
Thanks,
Alex

Encore will see it if I change the extention to .m4v, but then I get the error message that it the codec isn’t loaded. If it accepts .h264, why would I need to change the extention to something else?
