I burned my first Blu-Ray disc, but other than my friend's PS3, I can't find a standalone Blu-Ray player that will play burned media. My friend's Samsung BR/HD-DVD combo player choked on it.

Anyone know which models actually can handle burned material?

Well...nobody has an answer. That's not a good sign. Hopefully the customers that have been asking for Blu-Ray discs will have PS3's installed in their board rooms, hehe.

Here is a whole list of standalone Blu-ray Disc players from B&H.

Hope this helps!

I've had good luck with my Samsung P1500. Your friend might want to make sure he's got the latest firmware loaded for his Bluray player.

A lot of the set-top players just plain won't play burned discs. I did some digging around the AV Science website...the PS3 apparently works the best for burned content, but since it's really just a Blu-Ray drive inside there, that isn't a surprise. That Samsung P1500 actually lists BD-R and BD-RE in its specs. The BD-UP 5000 does not.

thanks!

Panasonic
DMP-BD60K Blu-ray Disc Player

does it reads burned Blu-ray discs?

I want to give my weddings in blu-ray so i need a player that i can show the costumers the difference between DVD's and Blu-ray.

Hi,

I've made a list of Blu-ray disc players which are supposed to be BD-R friendly compatible, here :
Liste platines Blu-ray compatibles BD-R (http://ronanfc.free.fr/songesdemoai/Boutique/page16/page16.html)

(It's in french). However, references in green have BD-R compatibility written in their technical specs. Some of them may need firmware update also.
WARNING : I couldn't tested all of them, but this list could be a begining. Please, verify this info on various sources before buying a Blu-ray player, and inform us of your experience in order to make this list more accurate.
Hope this helps !

The Panasonic BD60 works fine.
