i have just tried to burn a bluray media file in the form of an iso file to disc, the burn was successful but it looks like its burnt it in the form of a data file and not a media file, so when i put it in the bluray player it doesn't see it as a film.

are there any programs out there that will let me but a bluray media file direct to disc or do i have to use a program that will convert the data into a format that is recognised by bluray players?

cant you use nero? thought it has a blueray video option

how did you do it?
never done bluray myself, but i think iso files are like the same as cue files for audio cds aren't they?

i think you might have better luck if you use the 'burn image' option. add the iso file only, and the burner software will find all the right files itself (make sure they are all in the same folder on your pc)

if you used the 'burn data bluray disc' option, that could explain it

Just a thought, I used to get movies from Love Film (or from the internet) and burn them using Clone DVD which did the job. However, it took up loads of time and was a right hassle, and I would have to have a stack of blank discs and them somewhere to store them all. And sometimes they wouldn't play and sometimes they did.

All I wanted to do was have a library of films to watch when I wanted to watch them on my TV rather than the PC.

I then discovered Popcorn Hour Network Media Tank and have never copied a single film to disc since. Saved me LOADS of time and loads of money. Now I have a huge library of movies, all in HD, that I can watch whenever I like without having to get out of my chair. Works like a charm and plays almost any format you can throw at it, and manages subtitles well to.

www.xbmc.org + An Acer Aspire Revo is what you need.

My solution is similar to Jasper's, I have a Western Digital HD Media player with a 1Tb external USB HD.
I have a massive collection of movies in HD, most 1080 and the player plays anything you throw at it.
The new one is around £100 but plays stuff over a network cable from your PC (or whatever).

It's the future !

Yeah - that does look good too, not quite the number of video and audio formats, but all the important ones, and VERY cheap ....

Using a media player like this has changed the way I watch TV as much as the PVR/Sky+ has.
