BD-R's not playing on my player

[Tom Servo]

I just got in my first Blu-ray burner for my PC, mainly for my bootleg concert video trading hobby (fan filmed shows and TV stuff, nothing illegal). I burned a Pearl Jam show to blu ray, and on my player the menu comes up fine, including a short intro clip before the menu appears, but when I select "play" it just resets the menu after a brief pause, and the concert will not play. The same thing happened before when I burned a small HD video to a DVD, with the files being in BD format. The disc plays fine on my PC though. Is this a compatibility issue with my player? The disc is in the correct BD structure, with the BDMV/STREAM/ directories, and .m2ts files. Mine is a fairly old Sony BDV-E300. I'm thinking I'll need to get another player for burned BDs.

needs a "CERTIFICATE" folder next to "BDMV" folder [not inside] to be correct BD-R bluray structure. Also needs to be UDF 2.50 filesystem.

AVCHD does not need a certificate folder.

The certificate folder is there too. How can I tell if it is the UDF 2.50 file system? I burned it with ImgBurn, and I'm pretty sure i set it for that file system before when i burned that small HD broadcast to a DVD with the same results.

Imgburn is usually pretty good at setting everything correctly for you...but you should always check.

Its under the "Options" tab once you've selected your folder source.

DVD uses different filesystem. The problem here was probably the m2ts file...dvd players wont read this format...Im pretty sure.

EDIT: nevermind, I re-read, you used a DVD played on Bluray player, not played from DVD player...duh.

Yeah, I remember ImgBurn automatically setting the format when I did that DVD. It was a HD video in BD format, just small enough to fit a DVD.
Just tried the BD-R on my PS3 and it behaved the same way. I'll just have to try it on another player, then I'll know it's a Sony issue.

well the problem could be Imgburn set for DVD (which is different filesystem) and not Bluray...so you need to check the filesystem (re-burn if possible and double check)

You could also look at detail info of the disc from your PC drive. (might show you there)

agree it,DVD uses different filesystem. The problem here was probably the m2ts file...dvd players wont read this format.thanks

Doesn't always need a certificate. In fact, 90% of the discs I burn DON'T have one. And they're not AVCHD. All play fine.
