Encore CS5 can build DVD iso file but no Blu-ray image

[smartsailor]

I'm trying to build a iso image of a simple project. The DVD build will work fine and is readable using VLC, but even though the Bluray build will finish too, the content cannot be played. Do you know if some parameters could miss during the export? Im using Encore CS5 on Windows 10.

Have not tried EN CS5 on Win10. First make sure you are running "as administrator."

But most problems happen before the build completes.

What is in the iso? Or build to a  folder, so we can see.

VLC and other players are not the best test option, but a simple project will usually play.

You need BD player software (e.g. PowerDVD) or a standalone player to play the movie.

Did a quick test. Simple BD project in EN CS5. Win 10. Exported as BD folder.

VLC 2.2.6 (latest version) simply does not open (from Windows Explorer "play with VLC" or from VLC). Note that I get the same result with other (EN CS6) folders and images. I thought it used to play BD folders, but perhaps not. I never did consider VLC a good tester.

Power DVD 17 opens and plays correctly.

My old standby Total Media Theater has not been updated for Win 10 and did odd things, so just got PowerDVD 17. Working well so far.

Absolutely 100% spot on.

So many people keep blaming the authoring tools when they cannot play on free media players that literally do not support properly the media they are trying to play.
