I have had success using IMGBURN (v 2.5.0.0) to create my own BD-ROM discs (no BD burner, just single layer DVD with small enough .M2TS files).
When I create the disc using your guidelines (adding \BDMV and \CERTIFICATE folders, UDF 2.5) it works fine in the BDP player I have (Sony S570) as long as I do not create the video export from the software with chapters. The difference seems to be having just a single M2TS file (00000.M2TS) versus multiple files with chapter references, or so I assume.
As soon as I add chapters with my video editor and create the disc with IMGBURN the Sony player sees the DVD-R (AVCHD) but will not play it. The same problem exists on a Samsung BDP we tried.
My question is, are there any modifications to the steps outlined in your guidelines to create the BD-ROM disc that address this or is it some other video software issue? I just thought I'd ask in case you have heard of this before.
Thanks,
