I followed the guide posted as a sticky here to play a downloaded mkv file placed my BDMV and Certificate folders on blank usb thumbstick and plugged into my blu-ray player and it recognizes that I usb has been plugged in but says no disk and I select the thumbstick and it says no data, anyone had luck using the bdp-1500 for this or is there a common mistake I made. I checked the streams and they looked compliant.

I believe you have to use the avchd-me to trick it into thinking the usb is an avchd disc. but i'm not certain
You need to resize your video to be Blu-ray compliant. It should be 1920x1080 (not 1920x800). The you will need the AVCHD-ME program. Read through the first stickied thread in this forum, there is a pretty good guide at the beginning you can download as well.
Thanks, so I am using MeGUi to resize and my avisynth script intially after loading video loocked like this DirectShowSource("C:\sample.mkv",fps=23.9759856527702,audio=false) #deinterlace #crop LanczosResize(640,272) # Lanczos (Sharp) #denoise then I changed to this DirectShowSource("C:\sample.mkv",fps=23.9759856527702,audio=false) AddBorders(0,90,0,90) #deinterlace #crop LanczosResize(1920,1080) # Lanczos (Sharp) #denoise I then used MeGUI to remux , here is the media info from this Format : Matroska File size : 37.3 MiB PlayTime : 33s 184ms Bit rate : 9425 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2008-10-21 01:03:33 Writing application : mkvmerge v2.3.0 ('Freak U') built on Sep 8 2008 18:32:16 Writing library : libebml v0.7.7 + libmatroska v0.8.1 Video #0 Codec : AVC Codec/Family : AVC Codec/Info : Advanced Video Codec Codec profile : High@L4.1 Codec settings, CABAC : Yes PlayTime : 33s 125ms Bit rate : 8659 Kbps Nominal bit rate : 9000 Kbps Width : 1920 pixels Height : 1080 pixels Display Aspect ratio : 16/9 Frame rate : 23.976 fps Chroma : 4:2:0 Interlacement : Progressive Writing library : x264 - core 65 r998M 6768543 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=6 / psy_rd=1.0:0.0 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=3 / nr=0 / decimate=0 / mbaff=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / wpredb=1 / keyint=24 / keyint_min=1 / scenecut=40(pre) / rc=2pass / bitrate=9000 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.50 / qpmin=8 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / vbv_maxrate=38000 / vbv_bufsize=30000 / ip_ratio=1.10 / pb_ratio=1.10 / aq=1:1.00 Language : English Audio #0 Codec : AC3 PlayTime : 33s 184ms Bit rate mode : CBR Bit rate : 384 Kbps Channel(s) : 6 channels Channel positions : Front: L C R, Rear: L R, LFE Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz and the tsmuxer to make into blu-ray disk but I am wondering what to use to to take this and make it into a UDF 2.5 image to burn... thanks
Use IMGburn. Also, you didn't add enough lines. 1080-800 = 280 lines needed / 2 = 140 lines (top and bottom). It shouldn't matter though, there might be a small blur where those lines should be, you might not even notice.
so it isn't that the player can't read dvd+r's so either my player isn't excepting the disk or i didn't format correctly.
was reading the manual and saw some major bummers, "The unit cannot play CD-RW/CD-R and DVD-RW/-R recorded content such as divx, avi, mpg, mov, wma, mp3,digital photo view(JPEG) ile." and "The USB Host jack is for irmware upgrades only. You cannot play audio or video content from a USB device." Pisses me off how companies try to control everything, hopefully hack comes out to over come this bullshit. So don't know what to do, maybe I wouldn't be able to get burned blu-ray videos on DVD+r to work (although my previously burned DVD+r do work despite the manual saying otherwise)
Yes, you will notice! As he has used a resize filter, there wont be any bright green lines. However, the image will be stretched vertically with the Lanczos resize. You should always aim for correct HD resolution (1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080) when creating BD/AVCHD discs. Also, zenigata there is no need to add a resize filter into your AVIsynth script. The only thing you need to do is add enough lines with the AddBorders command. As Odin said, your script should be... DirectShowSource("C:\sample.mkv",fps=23.9759856527702,audio=false) AddBorders(0,140,0,140) PS: I have played quite a few of my Blu-ray recodes (BD-9) using DVD+R DL discs on the Samsung BDP-1500 and they play fine. That should give you peace of mind to persist with it.
Yeah I have been able to get it to work, using a AVCHD templated that isn't recognized as a BD. That is it doesn't have a certificate folder and this is work beautifully, if only it didn't take forever to convert vids.
I had a similar problem with not recognizing the BD format. Searching out the problem, I discovered that Samsung eliminated BD on DVD with the upgrade to Profile 2.0/2.1. They only support AVCHD now. There is rumor that this will change with later firmware updates. For more info, my source is Official Samsung BD-P1500 Owner's Thread, post #2519. PS I can read DVD+R DL when not in the BD format.
