This tutorial would show you how to burn Blu-ray movies with 2 different Blu-ray burner software programs: a free Blu-ray burner software app - ImgBurn, and a paid Blu-ray burning program - Leawo Blu-ray Creator. You could follow the below steps to learn how to burn Blu-ray discs on Windows with every detailed information.
Part 1: Burn Blu-ray Disc with ImgBurn
ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit!
ImgBurn is free a DVD and Blu-ray recording application from the creator of DVD Decrypter. It could burn images to disc, write files/folder to disc, create image file from disc, create image file from files/folders, and verify discs to see if target disc is 100% readable. With the ability to burn a Blu-ray video disc, ImgBurn could help you easily burn video to Blu-ray video disc on Windows (from Windows 95 to Windows 8, including all the 64-bit versions). The below steps will guide you through the process of burning Blu-ray disc with ImgBurn program.
1. After you launch ImgBurn, click the "Write Files/Folders to Disc" option.
2. Click the add folder icon as shown above and add the root folder that contains all the other Blu-ray folders (BDMV, CERTIFICATE, DCOPY) that a standard disc has.
3. After you add the right folder it will appear in the Source area. To continue click the Calculator icon.
4. ImgBurn will then detect that you are trying to burn a Blu-ray video disc and give you that notice. If not, make sure you added the correct folder at Step 2. Click Yes.
5. Back in the main ImgBurn window, select the Device tab. Here set the Write speed (1) at the one your blank Blu-ray states that it supports. The default option *might* try to burn faster and since I wasted one empty disc already, I am not taking any chances. To continue, click the Options (2) tab.
6. Here make sure the File System is set to UDF (1). This should already be set by ImgBurn at Step 4, we are just double checking. Next, click the Labels (2) tab.
7. In this tab you can set the Volume Label (1) your disc will have. This only has a minor practical use but is a good idea to describe in a couple of words the content of the disc. Everything should now be ready to start burning, so click the Burn (2) button.
8. Right before you start the burning process, check the pop-up and make sure that in Content Type, ImgBurn reports BD Video and then click OK to start burning Blu-ray with ImgBurn.
Note: ImgBurn could also help you burn image file to Blu-ray disc. You could freely burn image files like BIN, CCD, CDI, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.
