  1. I've authored a BD Disc using BDStudioLite and I am attempting to burn it to a 25GB BD-R.

    I am able to successfully burn a disc, both from the BDMV/CERTIFICATE folders and from an ISO created from those folders (I've done both as tests). In both methods, the disc burns successfully, verifies, and plays back perfectly in 16:9 on PowerDVD on my computer as it should. However, when attempting to play it on my TV on both a Sony 4K Blu-Ray player and on an Xbox One S, the disc plays back in 4:3 and the image is horizontally squashed - this goes for EVERYTHING on the disc (Menus and Video Streams). I have triple checked the device and TV settings and there is not an issue there. I have also checked the streams in MediaInfo and they display as 16:9, so I don't know where or why this issue is arising. Other BD discs play perfectly on my Sony player and Xbox.

    I'm very intrigued as to why this would be the case, especially since the finished disc plays back perfectly on PowerDVD.


    For reference if needed:

    Authoring Software: BDStudioLite, muxing with tsMuxeR

    Burning Software: Imgburn

    Drive: Alphami External Blu-Ray Drive (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DJNHYLVL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

    All video streams on disc are in a 1920x1080 container.
    Disc plays successfully in correct aspect ratio (16:9) on drive above on PowerDVD and VLC Media Player.
    Disc plays in incorrect squeezed 4:3 aspect ratio on Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player and Xbox One S.

    You said "All video streams" - does it play all these videos with the wrong aspect ratio? Could you send/upload any of them?

  3. Update:

    Issue was caused by the videos being MPEG-2. Once re-encoded to MPEG-4 AVC, it worked like a charm.

    Also a note if it helps anybody: I would advise against using PCM/WAV for your audio on Blu-Disc Studio Lite or it causes an awful popping/clicking sound when the stream goes to loop. Use AC-3 and it should work great; it did in my case.
