Found a program that re-encodes to blu-ray then use imgburn as the guide says. The program reencodes the video and audio to blu-ray automatically and puts into the BDAV and certificate folders, then burn those onto blu-ray using the guide. Here's the link http://www.videohelp.com/tools/XviD4PSP It takes about 9 hours to re-encode, depending on file size but works like a charm.Hope this helps others. I burnt this on both Memorex and Sony BD-Re media.

What does this mean W 15:43:58 Failed to Write Sectors 1465504 - 1465535 - Reason: No Defect Spare Location Available

Tks I'll try that

I have sound but no video-erased disk several times to no avail.just a black screen and Sony blu-ray wont play it.I did notice during burning i get about 126 rewites when I think it should be 0. IMG Burner upon completion says it burnt fine so no log file.
