Windows 8 Blu Ray Burning

[Lonewolf]

Yeah, love it, hate it, I know it's personal choice but I had to buy a new laptop recently and I chose a Windows 8 model. I'm slowly getting to grips with it but I wish I understood where I am going wrong.
GoPro HD video footage, basically I want to put it on a Blu Ray disc so I can watch it on the telly. I can write it to the disc to playback on the PC, but not on a TV.
1/ Yes I have a Blu Ray disc, its a rewritable one. I'm told that doesn't matter.
2/ I don't have a Blu Ray player, I use the PS3. It detects the disc but says there's no data on it and yet I now there is. The PS3 will play purchased Blu Rays, is there a difference?
3/ If I produce a movie in Pinnacle and write that to the Blu Ray disc I can get that to play on the PS3 but the quality even on Best quality is only 63%.
4/ I know when you come to write the data to the disk there are two options, one to use it like a memory stick for playback on PC's and one to allow playback on DVD players etc, I've tried both options, many times!

Basically HELP

Hi Lonewolf

I have experienced this before when copying VHS to DVD on a stand-alone device only to find out you can't play them on a laptop/desktop, only a DVD player.

It has to be something to do with the settings when creating the blu-ray disk. It's not a case of just copying files across either.

I use CyberLink PowerDVD which came with my blu-ray equipped laptop a few years ago. It gives me an option to create a blu-ray disk, etc. which I can play on either my Samsung laptop or on my Sony blu-ray player.

To watch almost any type of video format on my laptop, I use http://www.videolan.org/ VLC.

(I have a laptop, a netbook, a desktop, an android tablet, an iPad tablet, etc. etc......)

Maybe Boomer has some ideas as he works with IT too.

LW, can you supply some more info please?

What version of Pinnacle?
What model TV?
What resolution is the final video? (1080p, 720p etc.)

And what's on the video?   

[Lonewolf]

Ah, ha. Right I've found a program on the laptop called Cyberlink Power DVD BD, which seems to a program for paying media, (possibly) and there's another program called Cyberlink Power2Go 8 which looks like  its a program for creating media.


I'm just erasing a Blu Ray disc through the latter program now to get rid of my previous effort and then I'll have a look at burning the movie file. 


Fingers crossed, I will report back.....soon.


Thanks everyone for your input so far. 
Rusty, yeah thanks

[Burchy]

sounds like your player will play Blu-ray discs that are finalised but not rewritable ones?
