    Sorry for a very basic question, but.....

    I am using ANVSOFTs Photo DVD Maker to produce DVD slide shows. It does a good job for me, and I have used it for a long time.

    It now has a half-baked BLU RAY option. If asked kindly, is produces a BDMV folder and a near-empty CERTIFICATE folder and suggests you copy those to BLU media, which I then do using NERO 9. I get a disc that is perfectly readable and fine on the PC with at least two different PC packages, but the SONY BDP S350 on firmware level 20 just says UNKNOWN and shrugs its sholders.

    ANVSOFT says they use the following default options:

    Video codec" libx264
    Video size: 1920x1080
    Video bitrate: 18000
    Video frame rate: 25(PAL)
    Audio codec: ac3
    Audio bitrate: 128
    Audio Sample rate:48000
    Audio channels: 2

    Is my problem simply the half-bakedness of ANVSOFTs current software (they are working on it), or am I overlooking something?
    Thanks in advance

    I would guess it is the burning step that is causing problems.

    Which exact method are you using in Nero?

    Thank you for taking an interest!

    I am using "Nero Burning Rom version 9.4.26" with as default parameters as I can get. It is talking Danish to me, but it says UDF1.02 , "physical partition" and no multisession. There is an ISO option, but I believe I read somewhere that proper BDs must be UDF. I'm using BD-R media (at a cost:)), at I imagined they would be more "standard" than BD-RE.

    Well then, there's your problem...

    Burn as UDF 2.5 and all will be good! :)

    Spot on! Thanks a lot for your help.

    One last question though. Having been a computer specialist since 1963, it irritates no end when I cannot find such an answer myself. How should I have found out (other than extensive trial and error)?
