Judy in Texas Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I read the tutorial on burning Blu ray and stumbled on three issues. First, my camera has a BDMV folder but not a certificates folder. Within the BDMV folder the files are in a stream folder. The files have a .mts extension. These .mts files play on the computer with the VLC media player. Are these .mts files what I need? Second, the selection process in the ImgBurn tutorial ends at the folder level. I don't want to burn everything that is in the folder to my DVD drive. Should I create a new BDMV folder on my computer and put in it only the files I want? Should I also re-create the stream folder and put the files in it instead? Third, assuming I can do both of the above, can I rename these files, and, if so, what are the naming conventions? Will this create some sort of menu on the Blu ray player? I am really new to all of this and appreciate the offer of help. It seems there must be some way to get the files to a Blu ray player without running them through an encoding process on the computer, but I haven't found it yet.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You add the BDMV folder as a whole. If there's stuff in the stream folder that you don't want, those bits must be authored out of the structure / collection (and a new one created) using other tools. You can't just remove/rename files, it'll mess things up. The file/folder structure has to conform to the BD Video specs or nothing will play it properly. The certificate folder may or may not be required by your playback device/software (please use proper BD playback software/hardware, not VLC). You'd have to burn to a rewritable disc and test it. If you just want to test with PowerDVD/WinDVD/TMT, create an ISO, mount it in a virtual drive (Virtual CloneDrive) and test it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy in Texas Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Thank you, Lightning Uk!. I think I get it. At least I'm doing one thing right by using rewriteable discs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
