paweterings Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I try to burn a playable blu-ray disc with ImgBurn. I tried "write files/folders to disc" and Write image file to disc" (after first creating an .iso file with "Create image file from files/folders"). On the blue ray disc appear only the BDMV and Certificate folders. They can't be read by my Philips BD5500 Blu-ray disc player (nor by any media player on my computer). What is going wrong (after wasting 6 blu-ray discs I want to be sure to do it right now). I attach the screen shots from ImgBurn. When I burn with "Write Files/folders to disc" the same problem occurs: there isn't an .iso file on the b;lu-ray disc after burning but the files in the BDMV and Certificate folders.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Commercial Blu-ray discs are copy protected... you do know that yeah? If you try and read such a disc via the method you're supposed to use for copying a disc (i.e. using 'Read' mode and then 'Write' mode) you'd have seen ImgBurn tell you the disc was copy protected as you tried to perform the 'Read' part.

paweterings Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 I downloaded the file from usenet., I didn't try to rip a commercial blu-ray disc, There weren't any announcements by ImgBurn (then I would have known what was the matter and not wasted 6 discs!)

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ok, so then I need to see the log of you creating the ISO file you later tried to burn. If you've done everything correctly, I can only assume the source files are to blame. ImgBurn just burns what you give it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks. Ok so that tells me it at least thought it was building a BD Video discs. What players have you tried using on your PC? You'd want to be using PowerDVD or TotalMedia Theatre (versions that can actually play BD discs properly). You don't need to burn a disc to test things out on your PC, just make an ISO file (which you've already done) and mount it in a virtual drive program (i.e. Virtual CloneDrive). For the purposes of testing playback, it'll behave exactly as if you'd burnt it to a real disc. Also, what message did your standlone player throw up when you tried to play the disc(s) ?

paweterings Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I burned thi iso file to a blu-ray disc with Power-DVD. There actually appeared an iso file on the disc. However, my blu-ray player doesn't play the disc, nor does powerdvd (unrecocnized format.. Evidently, the iso file ImgBurn made out of the BDMV and Certificate files isn'tcorrect.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 If you ended up with an ISO file on the disc, *you* didn't burn it correctly. That's nothing to do with ImgBurn. And like I said before, ImgBurn just burns (or rather, creates an ISO from) exactly what you give it. If your source files don't work, the disc won't work either. The only version of that download I could find is password protected, so I can't check anything my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
