Only a quarter of a video?

[L7dra7]

As I mentionned in a previous post, I have been trying to create Blu-ray discs on a Lacie d2 burner. It works fine for saving data, but when it comes to creating video BD-R (with DVDit Pro HD), there seems to be compatibility problems on trying to play them:

Both the Blu-ray recorder and the PS3 display an 'Incompatible disc' message and refuse to read them.

When I try to play them on the Lacie burner itself (using PowerDVD BD 7.2), I only get the upper left corner of the video (and it seems to play in a jerky fashion, with the sound stuttering), just like when I try to get it to read the BD-R/BD-RE made in the recorder (which play fine in the recorder).

Any ideas about what could be wrong? Thanks!

I burned a Blu-ray movie to a BD-RE and BD-R using AnyDVD and imgburn. They both played fine on Power DVD BD and a Philips Blu-ray player. The PS3 wouldn't recognize either disc. I suspect Sony disabled the playback of BD-R/RE video discs but will play files from a Blu-ray data disc.

What kind of files does DVDit pro HD create? If they are .ts or .m2ts then try Tsremux and create a blu-ray video folder to your HD. Using imgburn (UDF 2.1 mode), select the BDMV & CERTIFICATE folders and burn to BD-RE.

If it plays with Power DVD, then your burner is OK but, probably won't play on the PS3.

I think DVDit produces m2ts files. I not sure what Tsremux does however. Do I use it to convert some file from the Blu-ray I made?

About the ability of the PS3 to play BD-R/BD-RE, one interesting thing I noticed though was that it can play both the BD-R/BD-RE recorded in the Blu-ray recorder (which is of the same brand) and the mini BD-R/BD-RE recorded in the Hitachi Blu-ray camcorder (which the Sony Blu-ray recorder refuses to read). So the playback of BD-R/RE on the PS3 is not really disabled; perhaps it's just that the Blu-ray that we make in a computer's burner don't have the right file system or something like that.

Are you burning a BD data disc (with video clips) or as a BD video disc (with BDMV & Certificate folders)?

My PS3 will not recognize a burned BD video disc. The Philips Blu-ray player will play the disc without problems.

I am burning the disc as a Blu-ray video disc using DVDit. Apparently, my PS3 will read any video BD-R/RE created on a standalone recorder but not those created on the computer. So it looks like the explanation lies in what the difference between the two is. But there is still the problem that the Lacie burner does not read properly in PowerDVD the video discs it burned itself.
