Problem playing Bluray PC file created with VSX5

Post by Cartsahoy »

I have created 2 Bluray discs with Video Studio X5 using clips from my HS700 Panasonic. The clips are high quality HD 1920x1080 AVCHD and import into VS as .mts files. I have created two discs and menus and burned them successfully and at the same time used the function that enables a file version to be stored. The discs play beautifully with menus working well on my Samsung Bluray player and TV and also in my PC drive E using WIN DVD Pro 11 (trial version).
My problem is when I try to play the VSX5 created file on C drive, with WIN DVD Pro 11, if I select the BDMV file it says "media not supported" and if I select the STREAM file it plays the files in the order that VSX5 created them, therefore playing the file 0000.m2ts first and onward to the last. In this case there were 4 AVCHD 1920x1080 h264 files rendered to video files and onto the disc and PC file with menus, therefore VSX5 created 18 .m2ts files in the stream file, 4 video files numbered 0000,0001,0002, 0003 and 14 menu files 0004, through to 0018, all of these .m2ts.
WinDVD Pro 11 plays the stream file as a Playlist in strict numerical order therefore playing the menu files last and not as a selectable thing.
I guess my big questions are.1) Am I doing something incorrectly OR 2) Does WIN DVD Pro 11 ever play a Corel VSX5 created PC file as a menu selectable Bluray file like it does with a disc?
I am running Windows 7-64 Professional with two 1TB hard drives, I have tried the files on either hard drive without success in playing as I expect (like a disc).
To go back a bit, I have a library of DVD VS created files and play through the Windows Media Centre, however with the Bluray ones it tells me I need to have a Bluray Player, hence my downloading the trial WINDVD Pro 11. The old DVD files had a TS file which contained the files necessary to play the video with menu, but there does not seem to be an equivalent in the Bluray folder. Hope someone can assist, thanks

A BDMV file doesn't play with menus on PC. You should create an .iso file instead en mount it onto a virtual HD drive.

Unfortunately, though, VS won't create a Blu-Ray ISO file, only Blu-Ray folders, so you would need to use a third party program for that. The freeware ImgBurn program springs to mind, but Erdna may have a better suggestion.

Indeed Ken, no BD iso in VS. I use ImgBurn and sometimes AnyDVDHD (not free) to convert the BDMV folder into .iso. For playback I have VirtualCloneDVD (free from Slysoft) installed on my PC. After mounting the .iso file I get a perfect BD playback with PowerDVD, including the menu.

Thanks for the information from both sources, I have learned a lot in the last few hours. I have been able to install the two programs, imgburn & virtualclonedrive and play the ISO files with DVDPro 11, all a bit tricky as it seems that the virtual drive can only contain one ISO file at a time, if you double click on anothe ISO file it plays it OK but kicks the first one out of the drive.
I gather that Media Centre cannot use the Bluray player programs to play ISO files? and I wonder if ISO files were placed on a dedicated hard drive would they play or do you have to play ISO files using the virtual clone drive? Sorry about all the questions but do appreciate the help.
