I have bought Cyberlink PowerDirector 20 Ultimate in order to burn 100gb blurays.
I have edited my videos and produced the bluray. I had no other option than BDMA (with menu) when I selected the 100gb bluray. I have selected MPEG-2 for my codec. The other choice available was H.264.
I have also created a file just in case I would like to have access to the files in the future.
At the very end, it said that my bluray was burned succesfully. My bluray burner has the capacity to burn triple layer 100gb blurays. The bluray was about 65gb at the end of the process.
But when I tried to read it on my bluray player, it did not recognize the disc. So I tried another bd-player and it was the same. I was able in the past to read a 25gb burned bluray with one of the players but this time, I could not read this bluray.
Even the VCL media player on my computer cannot play the bluray right. However, I do have access to the files on the bluray and I can play files with the VCL media player but I do not have access to the bluray menu in order to select chapters, etc. I can play the file on which the menu is but I can't select anything, it just like an image.
The files are named AVCHD (.m2ts). When I open the bluray or the folder, there are two folders named BDMV and Certificate. I was surprised to see BDMV when the PowerDirector software was only giving me the option of BDMA with menu. Perharps there are certain things I do not understand.
I am currently trying to take the main file on which the 7 hours video is and am editing it with a different video editor software in order to produce a 50gb bluray (that's the limit of the other software). I was able in the past to play the blurays that I burned with this software. But since I paid to upgrade with video editing software in order to burn 100gb blurays, I would like it to work.
Can someone help me? Would the H.264 codec be of any benefit? Is there a way to burn 100GB blurays and watch them with a bluray player on my TV? Thanks for any good advice.
