rjamesd Posted September 13, 2009 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 By the way the guide is a little out of date: for example, in the Source panel there is a "Show Disc Layout Editor" which is not mentioned in the guide.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 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
Cynthia Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 You should see a warning window if you select the "wrong" data type for the media selected.
rjamesd Posted September 13, 2009 Author 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.
