[shazH]

Movie burnt to DVD -R on son's laptop, but now he can't play it through blu ray.
It plays via desktop etc.
Blu ray plays all other DVD discs.
What could problem be??

Thanks,

Did you burn it in a format the Blu-ray can read?

That's what we think - recording format was not suitable for blu-ray, but I'm a bit of a dinosaur with technology. My son burnt it from his laptop to DVD disc. What format does it need to be in for Blu-ray to read it?
Thanks,

dvd movie (mpeg2) and not a data disk.

Yes - it was copied in mp4 format.

He is not sure how to copy it any other way.

Thanks for your help.
