Blu - ray and SACD

From this date (March 29, 2016), I see through research within this community and my own attempts, that the great Apple Drive efforts will not play even Blu - ray video/audio and SACD discs.  My Super ejected disk to format when I try to play them, but no message doesn't pop-up telling me what to do, especially if the pilots were available to read these types of discs.  The reason given in the most recent surveys here was that Apple has not allowed the technology to play one of these formats.  Is this still the case, or drivers have become available in recent years to play on the Super player I know?

Thanks, Wade

Apple themselves do not always provide a solution to play Blu - Ray discs, they still include DVD player to play DVDs. There are some third-party programs but that will do it even if they are not 100% official Blu - Ray solutions. See the following topics.

http://www.macblurayplayer.com/

http://www.DVDFab.CN/Mac-Blu-ray-player.htm

http://www.leawo.org/Blu-ray-player-Mac/

Note: Because that these solutions are "unofficial" in general, they have not the ability to display full and use the motion of the Blu - Ray disc menu and instead of this will simply play the main disk movie, second due the fact that Apple has not taken the trouble to add underlying OS x capabilities these programs are also not able to play the audio tracks of more high quality of discs Blu - Ray and either will play instead a track of lower quality or reduce a track of superior quality. (It still will be at least as good as a DVD disc audio.)

  • CS 6 (Mac) - do Blu Ray and DVD discs

    I have projects where both a Blu Ray and DVD are necessary.  Is there a way to define the encoding of file DVD:

    (1) lower the Bitrate (still still believes a rate much higher than necessary; often exceeding the space on the DVD)

    (2) together 2 for MPEG video allow big screen (option shows black bands and confirms no widescreen)

    Lately, I've been coding components DVD separately, but still requires a new chapter markers when replacing the video tracks.  So I will use again for DVD or separately with DVD Studio Pro.

    Thank you!

    1 no problem at all to do this, simply stop using automatic transcoding settings & enter values manually.

    2 - Make sure that the sequence is correctly interpreted as screen 16:9 instead of 4:3 full frame (click right/interpret the film or edit pictures)

    For a Blu - ray player, I would recommend AVC (H.264) MPEG-2 - you'll get two times more content in the same space, it's a more efficient codec.

  • Creation of blu - ray and DVD standard of same video project - issue of menus

    Hello

    I have a video project, I intend to distribute on blu - ray and standard DVD. I plan create all menus and buttons for the blu - ray disc first. Can I just reduce the menus and buttons in again when I go to create the DVD standard? Or better, I'll recreate the standard DVD menus in Photoshop? Someone else to create the menus same br and standard DVDs? Any tips? I'm using CS5. Thank you.

    Cheers, Steve

    I would certainly agree with Jim's response above too.

    The problem with trying to use the same image is not massively different resolution (1920 x 1080 from 720 x 480), but also the size of the pixels.

    BD uses square pixels and what you design is what you get in the disc - DVD on the other hand uses non-square pixels and it can be a nightmare to design if you try at the scale of the images of high Resolutiom down to SD

    The SPHL button are also different - BD requires a separate layer for each State of the button to coloiurs up to 256 while DVD gives you the complete package on 2 bits of an image indexed with a total of 3 corridors.

    I would definitely say to create separate menus for each project.

  • Workflow for creating a project that can be burned to Blu - ray and standard DVD?

    Hello

    I have a project of 20 minutes and I create a unique simple menu with a 'play' button. I would like to create once and be able to burn a Blu - ray 1080 p as a standard DVD. Is this possible?

    Thank you

    You may need to restore the original no first transcoded files.

    By the way: what is your source material? Dynamic creation/AE links, an m4v?

    When still transcode "now" for the DVD, it replaces the originals with the transcoded files.

    When you click right/CtrlClick file from the Project menu, under the greyed "transcode now" you will find "restore original".

    If you do this, you should be able to transcode for Blu - Ray.

    I usually work the other way around, I do Blu - Ray first and then the DVD. Since I create all Menus in 1920 x 1080 and downward revision is better than scaling ;-)
    - and thank you for the training in English alongside.

    So if you have your transcoding settings (menu project - files-law transcoding - settings / ctrl-click-) for both Blu - Ray and DVD set up and do not use transcoding "now" - have all and go to the menu to build immediately, you should be able to build both the Blu - Ray and DVD.

  • Drive Blu - ray and ZR24W - success anyone?

    I tried to connect a blu - ray player to my monitor ZR24W via the DVI on the monitor. I tried the following:

    -Panasonic DMP-BD60 and LG BD350 blu - ray players

    -Using a HDMI cable to DVI

    -Use of HDMI/DVI via a HDMI-DVI adapter.

    With all these ups I had zero luck and it just repeat input out of range change your settings at 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz. I tried every setting possible on two blu - ray players, but absolutely nothing works.

    I wonder if anyone has actually never had any success with their blu - ray with the monitor ZR24W player. Looking at the Tech Specs there is nothing no indication that there is a problem. The DP and DVI inputs are both HDCP and blu - ray may be output at 1080, then, it is in the appearance of the screen.

    It's really a doin' my head as there is no reason why it shouldn't work.

    Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    I didn't mention that. Basically, they're trying to get rid of me by saying that it is a problem of compatibility. Frankly, I am very disappointed by the level of customer service that HP give me on this issue. Initially, it was very good, that is a long time on tech support to try to understand what happened followed by an engineer coming around a replacement unit. Now, it just seems as if they want to get rid of me!

    I have a Quad Core 9200 with exit DVI (7950 high-end graphics card). I think I have a burner or a blu - ray player to play HD content on my HD with 1080 p via HDMI (adapter) on my PC. I have a receiver sound srurround that can accept the audio standard on my PC (front, rear, center and sub).

  • Best options to Export of first CC at CS6 Encore for creating Blu - Ray and DVD discs?

    Howdy!

    I have files AVCHD (MTS) of a marriage, I recorded a couple of years (Yes, it is really low on the priority list), I want to change to create DVDs and Blu - Ray discs.  I am aware that I need to make some significant cut to get everything that I consider important to even together double disc DVD and have a lot more leeway with the Blu - Ray.  If I do the editing in Premiere CS6, I can use Dynamic Link to import several chronologies in my project again and (of course) to develop a Menu that the user can use to choose what they want to see.  Then again you can do transcoding with the timelines to get the videos to put them on any disc format created by me (DVD or BD).  HOWEVER...

    If I edit the videos with CC PP (2015), I have the relationship dynamic to again (gee, thanks, Adobe!) and to each of my deadlines export to a file, load these in CS6 again and again, let the transcode various chronologies as the best it can to fit the desired output average.

    So the question in all of this - what is the 'best' format to export CC PP for later import Encore CS6?

    I can't use the MPEG2-DVD or MPEG2 Blu - Ray, because it assumes that each video is to use all the space available on the disk (same problem with H.264 Blu - Ray)!

    All right now, I am limited to Codecs and presets available in first/Media Encoder programs.

    I you'd be grateful for ideas on what could be the best (closest lossless?) format to use for the export/import of SD or HD videos!

    Thanks in advance!  {I hope the question makes sense...}

    If you do not want to use mpeg2-dvd or mpeg2-Bluray (I prefer BD H.264, this is a codec better) you can export to avi with codec lossless Lagarith as UT. Also, you can use these HD codec. But these files are huge.

    Can stick to mpeg2-dvd and BD preset and use a bitrate calculator to get the best fit on the disc.

  • Videos of Blu - ray and DLNA mkv

    I have a Sony Blu - ray player and a Sony TV.  I put some video files on my laptop and set up so that I can watch videos on my tv and bluray player.  Problem, seems, is that the player only shows the mpeg, mkv files not files.  Anyone know of a solution for this?

  • I am trying to burn a Blu - ray and am getting an error M25?

    I compressed video in compressor in twice, both times by the author the DVD and I get an error from the M25.  I burned the second DVD of this show without any problem.  The first show keeps giving me the error of the M25.  Can someone tell me what this error message?

    The most common workaround solution to this error is to build an image, then burn with an application not yet (ImgBurn for PC; Toast for Mac).

  • Desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 810qe: Blu - ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner

    I am interested in the HP Store and want to buy HP Envy 810qe desktop. It has a 'Blu - ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner." Can I burn data and media projects of discs blu - ray recordable with this burner? I have two different answers when I talk with the Sales Department of online chat.

    If the description says "drive Blu - ray and DVD SuperMulti burner."  Then it can only burn to DVD or CD.  In the description in the "customize and buy" button is says - play music and movies, backup files and burn your own CD and DVD.

    There is no possibility to opt for this particular model, unfortunately.

  • Project yet for DVD and Blu - ray?

    I'm new to Production Premium CS5. I did all my parts of my project and kept in HD and rendered in Media Encoder CS5 for blu - ray. I mounted my project in still and in preview then the disc blu - ray set to ensure that nothing has been left aside. Then I burned a DVD. After burning the DVD, my preview is more clear as clear HD. It's pixelated more like a DVD project. Is there a way to get the preview back to the overview of HD quality or do I copy the project again and rename it for a DVD project before burning my first one. The reason why I ask is I make two copies of the project still on my hard drive, a DVD and one for the Blu - ray and it works but the two doubles room on my hard drive. Any solution?

    Any solution?

    I recommend you to create two projects.  Do not change the parameters of a project.

  • HIGHLIGHTS HD Blu - ray DVD project - built at-SD and BUTTON TEXT

    I use Encore CS4 on a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I drafted a Blu - ray and built my menu inside Photoshop CS4. The menu is 1920 x 1080 and has several buttons text. The buttons are consisting of a layer group ' (+) button name ' with a text on the inside layer. Initially, I selected the option 'Create text subpicture' for each button on the inside yet. I tried later to create inside each button subpicture layers defined in photoshop by creating "(= 1) button subpicture" layers within each group of 'name of the button (+)'.

    I have set up my games color and in the preview again and engraved on a Blu - ray disc button highlights look crisp and clear. I then try to generate output of DVD on a DVD format disc. My highlights of the menu are very irregular and the edges of the text seem to be cut off (I see the color of the normal state).

    I made sure to disable antialiasing on all my text buttons. I also expect a lot of reminder of the downscaling ability? If I resize my menu from 1920 x 1080 to 720 x 480 and replace it BY NTSC widescreen in Photoshop and then start with a new DVD project in everything seems fine. I hope not having to rebuild the chapter menus and button routing every time I create a project both BD and DVD.

    The buttons of my chapter menus work fine. Don't know what the difference with the exception of a different color welcomes you. I compared the menus in photoshop and all settings appear to be the same.

    The downscaling of the menus again from HD to SD quality is absolutely horrible. That's why I always build separate projects for Blu - ray and DVD, despite the ability of the program to output DVD and Blu - ray for a single project. You will get much better quality by reduction of scale your menus in Photoshop.

    My company creates motion menu to recall model kits, and we create a separate button for each format highlights (HD, SD, PAL) in Photoshop for our products, simply because of the unacceptable quality of the downscaling of the still.
