MPC-HC and BD Menus

[jack616]

Does anyone know if MPC-HC can be made to run BD menu's yet?

I've found a few very old comments via yahoo that it doesn't but
can't find any recent. It seems like this should be working now.

I'm trying to create a simple BD disc with multiAVCHD and am
just looking to test the output before burning it but things
don't seem at all right with the output.

No, MPC-HC doesn't work with Blu-ray menus.

If you need a free program to test Blu-ray menus, there are none that are foolproof. VLC can be set up to do some menus, though I don't know the exact steps. You'd have to do your own research there. The Leawo player can handle quite a few BD menus, but it will fail on some.

Your best bet would be PowerDVD or WinDVD, but they are not free. A new version of PowerDVD is due in the middle of next month.

With mpc-hc load up the blu-ray folder and choose navigate/blu-ray playlists click on the mpls you want to test,it won't give you a menu but you can test it this way to see if the videos play ok.

Thanks to both.

It's the menu's I need to test to see what can and can't play and to check the controls.
Right now all I get from MPC is a single file looping no matter how I set up multiAVHCD

I'm happy to buy software if there is something well written. So far I've not seen a single
package I'd waste my money on.

Does anyone know the full requirements to create a simple BD track menu setup on disc?
Maybe I'd be better off just writing my own? At least then I'd have a fair idea that things
will work.
