Genuine Blu Ray Disc?

[fireblade1]

Hi Can anyone tell me if i've bought a counterfeit Blu Ray disc? When i put the discs into the PS3 the following is displayed-
BDMV
BD-ROM
instead of the film title.
I bought the discs off ebay, described as being genuine...
Thanks

if it is a silverish back it should be original if it is brown then it will be a copy but that's not 100% i have been burning bluray for 3years and that's the only type ive seem if that helps

Thanksw for that, Dave. The discs are grey/silver, just like other discs, but other discs show the titles...

If there is no META Data on the disc, then it will not have any title/picture on the ps3.

Example: The Karate Kid has META Data on it, so when you load it in a ps3 it will show the picture and title.

How large is the file in windows or cdspeed or properties? It could be a BD copy, BDMV is a bluray file on my copies along with Certificate to play it.

Thanks for that guys. I played a genuine DVD tonight, and it just said DVD on the ps3.

I put the blu rays in the computer dvd drive but the computer didn't recognise the discs...

If you put a DVD that had an AVCHD or mts file, a regular DVD drive would not recognize it either. You can put a BD file on a DVD or DL disc, so that is not necessarily a good test.

I have some genuine BDs that don't display title information or images on the PS3 - it comes down to the authoring.

Thanks very much for all your help. Still none the wiser, but i think i'll stick to shops for Blu Rays anyway in future- just to be on the safe side...
