Hi

. . . . . I made a highlight reel exported in the same setting as the main video but when I burn the disc I can only hear the audio from the file.. . . .

Can you clarify this statement please - in particular what format you are exporting to and how you are burning this to disc ?

. . . . It seems hit or miss as on some discs it will work, sometimes not. . . . .

Most problems like this are a result of using 'economy' discs.

For BD I use Verbatim - so far with no problems.

What brand / type of discs are you using?

. . . . Im basically at the pt to where I'm praying for a disc to work 100% and just purchase disc copier . . . .

I use multiple BD drives in my PC and Nero Burning ROM which can burn to multiple drives simultaneously - this is more cost effective than buying a dedicated BD copier.

If you are not doing so, I recommend you use BD-RE discs for your initial burns until you have the movie as you want it.  I then use Nero to copy the BD-RE for BD discs and then re-use the BD-RE.

Hi John!

I export my files as 1280x720 24p H.264 codec into an mp4 format.
Also great suggestions I will look into purchasing verbatim discs from now on. I dont rememer the brand I bought but it was purchased at Fry's, it was more expensive so I thought they would be better... apparently not.
Ive noticed of the content at least most of it will play on my PC but once I put the disc in my ps3 to check compatability nothing happens.

I will look into purchasing NERO for the copier, it seemed cheaper than everything else but since you think its good Ill give it a try for sure.

Also great idea about that BD-RE, that is way more cost effective. I already wasted 3 BD-R discs due to this issue.

This would suggest you are burning the highlight reel mp4 to disc as is using Windows Explorer or some other burning program is this correct ?

If theis is correct -  then you should be importing the exported highlight back into MEP as a new project then burning as a BD from the Burn tab and selecting an approprite menu template?

some other burning program? Nope I just use MEP.
Im just taking my mp4 renders and burning them onto bluray, I didnt have any issues doing this w/ DVDs 
but im fairly new to burning with Blurays. Is there a protocol I should be doing?

Also someone suggested to encode into a folder first, i see that opeion in step 3 of the disc burning.
I may not understand how this works but when I do this how do I then burn this into a disc once this has been encoded, the reason I ask is when I go back to step 3 in the burning process it seems to want to burn the existing projects+the encoded directory effectively making my burn time twice it seems.

I may have it wrong but thats just what I see as I notice the data comsumption on the disc rose dramatically.
