rjamesd Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 When Burning a Blu-ray Video from pre-prepared files (i.e. BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders), your Guide does not mention in the ImgBurn application Image Options settings tab which Data Type / Mode should be used for Blu-ray Video Discs. Which mode is the required standard for producing standard Blu-Ray Video discs that will play on Blu-ray players? Mode1/2048 or Mode2/Form1/2352? ImgBurn does not suggest anything here. I assume it is Mode1/2048 because Mode2 is used for certain types of CD. Am I correct? Or are both supported in the definitive Blu-ray video standard? If so why? By the way the guide is a little out of date: for example, in the Source panel there is a "Show Disc Layout Editor" which is not mentioned in the guide. I have already searched this forum via the built in search tool and via google for the terms: Blu-ray mode1 video but not seen anything to answer my question. I am not sure whether the built-in forum search tool searches for posts with all terms specified (what I want) or with any of the terms specified (not what I want because this would give more unrelated topic posts) Thanks in advance.

mmalves Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 You're correct: only CD media support MODE2/* data type. This isn't mentioned in the guide because MODE1/2048 is the default setting in ImgBurn, and even if you try with MODE2/* you'll be warned by ImgBurn about the wrong setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 You should see a warning window if you select the "wrong" data type for the media selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjamesd Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks folks for the quick response. I took a Mode1 BD-RE Video to my local HiFi store and played it on a Sony and Panasonic. It was recognised and did play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
