BD25 Media + Bluray Player + Authoring = Inconsistency

[likwid8]

Here's the scoop,

I gave my friend a few bluray movies that I burned on a BD25 disk, they were backups that I did. Now, Out of the 3 movies I gave him one of them wouldnt play at all, second played fine and the third one played fine but it kept freezing at the end.

I gave the same movies to my other friend who own a different bluray player and none of them would play.

I tested all mine on a bluray reader installed on the popcorn hour and they played fine and recognized as a bluray.

Was wondering what it can be? Surely the pixelating movie was due to me burning it too fast (6x), which I understand but one movie working and the other not working? I was assuming it would be media issue but It cant be because the other movie on the same media works. I also thought it could be firmware issue but the original movie plays fine on his player so is it safe to assume the firmware upgrade is for blank media compatibility? Any ideas? Can it be the authoring program im using causing this to happen?

Samsung BD-UP5000 was the one which none of them worked, thanks.

How did you make the backups?

Are they 1:1?

If not, what software to re-encode and what settings? What authoring program? What was used to burn?

And what bd media did you use? Maybe try another brand.

I used ripbot and I only included the movie re-encoded since it was over 25gb. As for media I used Rodisc (aka Ritek). But how can it be the media if some movies work and some dont? If if was the media it wont on any movie right?

If you used default settings, they are not compliant

Some decoder chips (mediatek) have known issues with weightp, so I would disable it.
--weightp 0

Jerky playback is usually from too long of a GOP size, so I would use between 1-24 which is compliant for blu-ray
--min-keyint 1
--keyint 24

Some work and some don't because the GOP size is dyamically calculated (and max default is 250, so you might get anywhere between 1-250), and weightp is only activated in certain sections

There could also be issues with firmware and/or media. I would check your player's forum for specifics

Thanks for the above reply ^^.

Can these settings be applied with other programs such as BDRebuilder and/or DVDFab?

Thanks

Can those settings be applied using BD Rebuilder?
