Wont play on PS3

[Twenty Valve]

At some point in time you might consider it being your PS3!!! Like I said I made some copy's of movies and they played on 1 PS3 and not the other, would not play no matter what I did, thing is if it don't work then you might just have to find another program!! I understand your frustration because Ive been there!!

they don't play on my friends PS3 either. i am going to bring this latest batch over this weekend and see if these work.

If I knew more about a program called Teamviewer and with your permission (it's needed anyway to run the program) I would take remote control of your computer and see if I could figure this out for you folks. I've played around with it on my two rigs on my lan but I don't feel comfortable enough to mess with someone else's machine.
Hope you guys figure this out.

Ive figured it out!! I just have to do it a few times!!! Could be my burner, could be the press of discs I have I dunno but after trial and error I get it to work! I have just ordered 5 50gb BDRW Verbatim discs we will see how that works for now because of the cinivia protection!! I only have this problem with BDRW I have not had a problem with BD playing on my sammys and thats all that really matters!

Twenty Valve, give this a try:

Use a program called tsMuxeR.

Load the .m2ts file from your original Fab BDMV folder (in the "stream" folder)

Then select the output as "Bluray Disk".

This will create a new BDMV & Certificate folder.

Try running this through Imgburn again following the same instruction. (UDF 2.50 and burn slow speed)

i've tried that before and it didn't work but i tried it again and guess what? it still didn't work. i am pretty much done with this. as far as i'm concerned, this is a deal breaker. the guys at Fab need to fix this. i shouldn't have to go through all this just to play a back up in my PS3.

Well I have no suggestion on burning BDRE sometime I have to format the disc twice sometimes I don't, really not sure its hit and miss was about to give up on Takers and it finally burnt!! Good thing to use BDRE!!

well i have tried everything now and nothing works on my PS3. i have been using the punisher to test on as its only 18 gb total so no compression for full disc. i used fab to rip it to a folder then i compaired that to what was on the original disc and found fab would either leave out the aacs folder or rename it to FAB!. so i copied this folder from the disc to the folder i had fab rip the disc to and used imageburn to burn the 3 folders. this still didn't work so to summarize i have used a combination of fab and imageburn either in conjunction or seperate. i have changed media. i have compared a fab set up to the original on the disc and i still can not get a single disc to play on my PS3. i have one of the larger original PS3's with the built in wireless and large HDD with the current firmware.

i am pretty much at the point where i am wondering whats the point anymore.

on another note does anyone know how to extract the fab iso file? i have tried magic iso and winrar and neither can open it let alone extract anything from it.

You should not do this.

Thanks could not find it!!!

On another note where in ImgBurn can you change how its formatted? Ive looked all over!!!

Click the tools tab/settings/write 1st page. This is how mine is setup and never a problem and the book type setting was added because it was causing problems with some LG drives flaky firmware so if you have change book type settings ticked to begin with also tick the other then right click your drive in the dropdown with media inserted and erase full (pic attached).

Diablozoe had this exact same issue when trying to burn BD-RE...you guys should ask him how he finally made it work.

It has to do with the way the disc is formatted...enable or disable "sparse areas", some devices play back correctly depending on which format method is used.

Unfortunately that is a snag with BD-RE disc....BD-R needs no formatting and works 100% every time.

Ihave not tried the movie that I burned on using windows to format the disc, its tricky I have burned a movie but a blank into the drive had ImgBurn format it then burned and it did not play, then did it again and it played!! But what I can say is every movie I have burned (with the exception of the new one because I have not tried it, and its got cinivia protection) all work on PS3 and my samsung bdp 3600-4600!

something about the size doesn't look correct...

@crackinhedz

i forgot to mention i clone the disc to my HDD. from there i go through the process i posted earlier.

i still have the temp folder from my last effort of the main movie of mean girls. this shows the certificate and bdmv folders. i will use those with imageburn alone and post my results.
