Encore Blu-Ray project without menu won't play in DVD player

I've tried redoing the project and multiple different settings but when I burn the blu-ray disc, it won't play in the DVD player. Here are my settings:

Any ideas?

I tried a trial version of Leawo blu-ray creator, and it was only limited to 5 minutes of video, but that worked in the dvd player.

Process I followed:

1. Import .mp4 file

2. Create timeline from .mp4 file

3. Set First play to timeline name chapter 1

4. End action on timeline to "end"

5. Check project and burn (have tried to image and to disc).

I don't have any menu's or chapters. I just want it to play the movie immediately.

When I put it in my DVD player, I get a BD-R BDMV icon, if I hit enter on that, goes to blank screen and then back to the main DVD player menu (not dvd menu)

Thank you!

Sorry for the confusion it is a Blu Ray DVD Player I'm trying to play it on.

That all looks right. The only thing (other than a glitch, or corrupt project) that might do that is accidentally placing an end action on chapter one itself. (Click on chapter one in the timeline panel or the timeline itself and look at properties.)

I suppose a bad disk might cause this. What happened with your build to image?

Did Encore preview work correctly?

Encore prefers demuxed files (m4v and wav rather than mp4), but that is not likely to create this problem.

What is the model number of Blu-ray Player? I ask for 2 reasons. You're still calling it a "Blu Ray DVD Player" and some Blu-ray players may not play all flavors of disks. But this should work on a BD player.

Thank you for taking the time to reply Stan, truly appreciate it.

Here are the answers to your questions:

- Chapter 1: End action is Stop, however I've tried it with it set to nothing also.

- Bad Discs: I made 4-5 coasters, none of which worked. No errors or anything with the build to image, and tried burning said image from encore itself and with imgburn.

- Preview worked correctly.

- Only used mp4 as that was the source given to me and didn't want to mess with the original file.

- Blu-Ray Player is Sony BDP-BX58

I'll add that I bought the full version of Leawo Blu Ray Creator and successfully made 5 working Blu-Ray DVD's that work instantly in the BD player. I would however still like to figure out how to make it work on encore.

Thanks again.

You do realize that NO Blu Ray disc will play in a DVD player, you must have a Blu Ray player?
