ram8kumar Dec 21, 2011 8:46 PM (in response to Jennifer Elkan)VLC might not play Blu-ray images.
I think only some software players that are licensed to play blu-ray media would play the image also.
Try the Cyberlink Power DVD.

3. Re: Encore won't create 5min simple blu ray video
Jennifer Elkan Dec 21, 2011 11:54 PM (in response to JSS1138)Jim, I've created 3 br discs and none of them will play either on my pc or set top br player.
Ram, I've mounted the images using PowerISO and then tried to play them using Acrosoft TotalMedia Theatre 5. This should do the trick.
all previous br discs that I've authored in the past have always worked fine. The only differences that I can see with this one is that it's under 5 minutes in length and under 1GB total file size and there is no menu. The short movie is set as the first play and 'stop' is the end action.
Do BR files have to be a minimum size? I suppose I could add a copy of the short movie to the end of the short movie and just repeat it several times with some black space in between. Any ideas?

JSS1138 Dec 22, 2011 10:21 AM (in response to Jennifer Elkan)OK.
For now, looking only at the Blu-ray player, what exactly happens when you insert the disk?

Jennifer Elkan Dec 22, 2011 2:40 PM (in response to JSS1138)On my PC if I try to play the BR with Windows Media Player I get the error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disc was created in a manner that the Player does not support."
With VLC: "
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://K:\'. Check the log for details."
Both messages use the word DVD, but as far as I can tell/remember the entire project was set up for Blu Ray. Any ideas?

Ann Bens Dec 25, 2011 10:28 AM (in response to Jennifer Elkan)Check Encore if its a BD project and check if the disk is a BD.
Put BD disk in pc and right click on the BD drive to open to see the content.
What does it say?

10. Re: Encore won't create 5min simple blu ray video
Stan Jones Dec 24, 2011 8:02 AM (in response to Jennifer Elkan)Curious, and id a quick test. Very short asset ( but forgot and added a menu). No problem to disk (BD-RE), folde, or image; played on PC or player.

Jennifer Elkan Dec 24, 2011 1:10 PM (in response to Stan Jones)Stan I'm not following you. Are you saying you had a short project and it didn't work, but then worked after you added the menu?

12. Re: Encore won't create 5min simple blu ray video
Stan Jones Dec 24, 2011 7:32 PM (in response to Jennifer Elkan)I forgot you had no menu, and used one. Will redo.
In the mean time, answer Ann's questions from post 9. Very important info.
Edit: works with no menu also.
This tells us close to nothing: it is not simply that a very short file will not work by itself on a BD.

Jennifer Elkan Jan 6, 2012 5:52 PM (in response to Stan Jones)Hi,
thanks for all the replies especially Stan for trying to replicate the problem! Here are some screen shots of what's on the disc:
Above: disc show the title of the movie
Above: Two folders on the disc
Above: Files inside BDMV
To answer Ann's question, Yes it is a BD disk and yes it is a BD project
Thanks!

Stan Jones Jan 6, 2012 6:53 PM (in response to Jennifer Elkan)I don't see a problem there.
No idea.
I don't see that you reported (from post 3) what happens when you try to play an image with TotalMedia Theater. I don't think it means much that VLC and WMP don't work.
I don't see if you said: have you started this project over?

15. Re: Encore won't create 5min simple blu ray video
Jennifer Elkan Jan 9, 2012 10:31 PM (in response to Stan Jones)Hi Stan,
As it turns out, the BD discs will now play in my set top player. when I tried to play them on my computer using TotalMedia Theater the program would just crash right away. When I tried to play a mounted image of the ISO using the same program, it would just give me a warning telling me it wasn't a valid disc or something like that.
I'm not sure why they didn't play on my computer, but I'm happy that at least it's now playing on my set top player. Perhaps it just needed to be restarted. Anyway, thank you so much for your time in helping me with this!
