Burning Blu-ray Discs

Russinating · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:05

Ok, so I'm having an insane amount of trouble burning a Blu-ray disc.

What I have:
An LG BD burner
Sony Vegas Pro 8
Adobe Encore CS4
Nero

I'm able to build both a Blu-ray folder and ISO project in Encore.

If I try to burn a Blu-ray ISO in Nero it states that the ISO format is limited to 2GB. Clearly incorrect.

If I try to burn a Blu-ray UDF (only other option) and use the Blu-ray folder build, well, it basically just burns the folders as data.

So my question is, what do I build the BD project as, and what do I burn it as?

I'm at the absolute end of my tether with this. Please - someone shed some light and I will adore you forever.

I thought encore could burn the discs directly.

I've heard it has severe problems with regards to crashing, freezing and dropping mid-burn, so I was looking for something a little more reliable. Can you confirm these issues existing or not?

I have no idea about encores burning stability.

Imgburn is your friend, It's free go grab it.

Nero was great years back, now it's silly bloatware. It is well documented that it has problems dealing with blue ray material.

Thanks for that. Would you recommend burning an ISO or folder image?

Dont know..

..

Iso's are good as fragmentation of files should be sorted..

I guess testing is the only way.. Try to burn the disc at 1/2 the drives max speed first go.. to avoid any issues.

Can you even do half of 1x?

Thanks for all the advice.
