is there a way to tell if a .ts file is blu-ray compliant?

[maca]

I have gotten a .ts (transport stream) that someone recorded from an HD broadcast. It is 1920x1080, so I want to burn it to blu-ray. I know I can run it through TsMuxer and it will be in proper format, but I've done that with a .ts file in the past and it wouldn't play. So I'm wondering if there are any specific specs I should look for that will tell me if this file is bluray compliant, or if it will need a re-encode. I don't want to waste a blank BD-R if I don't have to.

Here is all Mediainfo says about the file. Thanks for any advice.

It's not compliant - blu-ray max rate is 40Mb/s

(Chances are your video doesn't really use that max rate, it's just a "label" , nevertheless it will cause problems with authoring software and many blu-ray players)

[Cornucopia]

For 3DBD, it's max 48Mb/s, but no matter. Other than that max, it looks to be OK on the face of it. However, there are other elements of the spec that wouldn't be evident in a simple MediaInfo output. MediaInfo doesn't do compliance checks, it only reads what is listed in the file. If you put this into a legit BD authoring app, it should immediately tell you whether it is compliant or not (because they do need to have compliance checks for everything to work correctly).

You could always get a few BD-RE discs (aka RW). Then you wouldn't have to worry about ruining a blank BD-R.

You can check actual bitrate with Bitrate Viewer

You could always get a few BD-E discs (aka RW). Then you wouldn't have to worry about ruining a blank BD-R.

Some blu-ray player won't read BD-E,make sure your blu-ray player can read them.

I know I can run it through TsMuxer and it will be in proper format, but I've done that with a .ts file in the past and it wouldn't play.

Can you post the MediaInfo for this one?

The BD-RE format that pre-dated BD-ROM was designed solely to record broadcast streams to Blu-ray Discs, so I find it surprising that a broadcast would have unplayable specs...

Took a chance before I got any responses and just ran it through tsmuxer into bluray format; resulting disc played perfectly in every player I've put it in.

Thanks for ignoring my post.

Thanks for ignoring my post.

Didn't the op post the mediainfo on the ts file in his first post?

[Brad]

Of the file he wanted to burn and did burn successfully, not the one that failed.

[johns0]

The mediainfo he posted was for that ts that was burned and worked.

[Brad]

... which is what I said. Again, I want the one that failed.
