Blu Ray ripping

[turbonetuk]

Hi Guys

dont know if this is in the correct section

recorded some films with my vu+solo2 linux satellite receiver
FTP them to my computer and converted them to MP4 Hd

just brought a blu ray burner for my computer

and decided to burn a film to blu ray

burnt fine using Power2go 7

but does not auto start in my computer or home surround

what am i doing wrong ??


1 . is it the wrong format they are converted to ?
2 . wrong software being used ?

or other problem i have missed


anybody got a set up i can use for converting films
so i can burn them to blu ray ?

Is Power2go 7 a blu ray authoring program ? I guess not and you have just created a data disk - simply burning your video to the disk without the associated files for blu ray.

You can use MultiAVCHD to create the neccessary folders & files and imgburn to burn those folders to a blank disk.

yes it came up as a data disc
it plays on my computer and surround
but you have to tell it to play

so power2go is no good for burn blu rays

[turbonetuk]

so is there not an all in one blu ray burning software that i can get
to do the task ?

Your drive probably came with the Cyberlink suite of which Power2go is one element. I think that just burns disks. There is a difference between 'authoring' which creates the files and 'burning' which puts the created files on to the disk although many authoring programs also make a fist of burning.

That suite may also have a program called Power Director and that can author/burn dvds but I do not know if it also author/burn blu ray. Other than that you can buy blu ray authoring programs - check the tools section - or use the software I have suggested which will cost you zilch except a little learning.

yes
been looking at power producer 6
the drive comes with 5
and does not do blu ray

downloaded a trial of the 6 ,but it only burns 30mins


thanks for the info
