COREL VSP 9.5 BURN TO BLU RAY DISC DIRECT OPTION NOT SHOWING

[melda m]

Hi, Have a production completed/rendered & created on DVD without any issues - plays well.

Am wishing to produce a couple of Blu Ray copies (which I had done possibly 5 yrs ago regularly with other productions)
BUT in the Share Create Disc options when I select Disc I do not get a BLU Ray option anymore - just DVD/ AVCHD / SD Card ?
Does this no longer exist with my 9.5 version or what am I doing wrong ?
I am utilizing the same external Blu Ray device.
When I try & burn message with disc inserted: "does not support burning of DVD video on BD-R disc".
I have been in to Share multiple times just in case having a hiccup.
Advices appreciated.

Since VSX8 it has been necessary to purchase from Corel the Blu-ray plugin, which once purchased can be activated on later versions of VS

Hi RobertOZ,
Thanks for that prompt reply.
Whilst researching within the VSP I did see a drop box "B/ray Disc authorization" ...buy now...but with no explanation.

Is is ok to buy/install via this & as you indicated will be ok on upgrades as I'm planning on upgrading once I get an older grand kids production out of the system.
At least I have an answer... had me baffled.
Many thanks.
Will try & disable enquiry once you have come back to me.

You purchase the plugin for your current version, then when you install a new version, all you need to do is go to Help/Restore Purchase and follow the prompts, you should then be provided with a link to download the latest version of the plugin
