Blu ray disk chapters blank

karataka wrote on 11/23/2024, 6:51 AM

Hi there,

I burned a blu-ray disk ISO with menu. If I play the disk it works as expected, but If I select one chapter from the menu, I see a black screen an just the audio. Tested with VLC and real blu-ray player.

If I burn a DVD, it works as expected. If I select a chapter from the menu I see video and audio

How strange!

Any help?

Cheers

Hi

We need more information:

  • Movie Studio version and patch number - see under Help, About...
     
  • which disk template was used for creating the disk?

Can post screenshots of the following:

  • the timeline, we need to see the entire length of the timline, click the options shown below to get full screen timeline view and full width. If necessary blur out the 'preview images on the video/image objects



     
  • the disk creation screen in Edit mode as shown below


     
  • which preset are you using in the Burn dialog - BluRay or AVCHD and in the following dialog which video format Mpeg 2 or h.264?
     

. . . . real blu-ray player . . . .

Assuming you mean you burned the ISO to disc and tested in a BD player, what make and type of disc did you use and how did you burn the ISO image to disc?

VLC is not, IMHO, a good program to test BD ISO images with, I have found many issues with it, I use PowerDVD 22 which is BluRay standard compliant.

@johnebaker

Here is the timeline

Let me explain again.

If I generate a DVD ISO everything works in VLC. If I burn the BD (I use Nero) an play in a real Panasonic blu-ray player attached to my TV I can select any chapter from the Menu and play it.

If I generate a BD ISO in VLC and real Panasonic blu-ray player, I can see the video only if I play from the start. If I select a chapter from the Menu, I see a black screen (video doen't start) but I am able to hear the audio.

In the simulation inside MS it works correctly.

I am using Purple Glass template.

I burned info BD RE..

I sucessfully used this process with PowerDirectory many times... This is my first experience with MS....... IMHO Not a good start...

Cheers

Hi @johnebaker

one more thing. If I import the DVD ISO with Handbrake everything works. If I try to import the BD I have this error.
