Testing in a set top box at least some of the discs play fine…I wonder if its an issue with the re-writer. It’s connected by 2 USB cords…maybe not enough juice to play back the videos?
Still testing.

Back to square one – the discs keep freezing / skipping every few seconds. I copied the files from a recent burn onto my hard drive, and the video did NOT skip when played from my machine – only when played on the Blu Ray player / writer. I have tried different types of Blu Ray discs, all freeze when played back.
Has anyone experienced a consistent problem like this?

The film festival venue that I’m screening at won’t accept anything less than Blu Ray, so even though it was shot on DV tape, transferred to DVD, I had to dig up the old .mov master and convert it by Friday.
Looks like .264 files were the reason the discs were freezing every few seconds. Don’t know if that’s a compatibility issue with this burner and the Blu Ray player I was testing with, but using .m2v files finally solved it, all the discs I’m making now play beautifully. Thank you Lynda.com for the helpful tips!

I burned a BD-R using HD footage (1280×720, 24p) using just Compressor and the disc turned out fine. Next step, I used Compressor with my interlaced, 720×480 file and burned a BD-R using m2v instead of .264 – also turned out fine!
I’ve applied a de-interlace filter and am burning the file using Compressor (m2v file), fingers crossed.
