Re: Blu-Ray Playback Stuttering Audio/Video

Many Blu-ray players just won't play BDMV that is written to DVD media - different lasers and all. Maybe they will in the future if provided with the capability in a later firmware update, I don't know. With the price of BD recordable discs down to $3 and change, it's probably not as compelling to have short-form BDMV on DVD recordable as it was when BD recordables were $20 and up.

And don't get me going about Samsung Blu-ray players - their early models were complete junk, IMHO. Sometimes firmware updates to the players correct bugs in the players, but similar problems have been reported with burned BD from Encore, Sonic, and other authoring systems on Samsung and other players...which is to say, I don't think it's an authoring problem you're seeing, but a player/firmware problem. Take your disc to a BestBuy and check it on a few different Blu-ray players, such as Sony or Panasonic.

Which is all to say that Blu-ray authoring is still in its early days. Similar stories can be found back in the days of DVD authoring's first steps.
