Stability of home burnt blu-ray

My question is will a Blu-ray disc burnt by myself be as stable and reliable as a BD made by a post production company from my quicktime?

BACKGROUND:

I have a 72 min project that is having a VIP screening to 400 people in a cinema. (We do not have the budget to make a DCP so are screening from Blu-ray). I have had a post production company made a BD from my quicktime. It looks fine on domestic equipment but when screened in the large cinema is over saturated.

As the cinema is 10 mins away and the post production house 4 hours away it would be easier for me to do an overall regrade to reduce saturation and make my own Blu-ray using the 'Share' function on FCP7 then burn on my LaCie BD burner via toast (as I have done in the past) test screen it at the cinema and repeat the process till it looks ok.

My question is will my self burnt BD be as reliable and stable as a professionally burnt disc? It would be a disaster to have it stick, or jump ot drop out on the night.

(It does seem odd that BDs burnt by me or the post production house look fine on home projection systems, and flat screen TVs, but are oversaturated in the cinema from a 2k digital projector)

First, learn to read your scopes, Waveform for brightness, Vector sope for saturation, Parade for white balance. Be sure you're within limits there.

Second, the post house is doing the same thing basically you'd be doing for a one off burn. Probably similar software, similar burner, for a one-off. When you have something "Replicated" it is done from a "Glass Master", is actually a mold injection process. Very durable, reliable, compatible. But it is super expensive and one-offs are never done that way.

Keep in mind that home HDTV systems have circuitry built in to analyze and alter the image to make it work on that specific screen to its best. A theater projector shows the raw image. Maybe get with someone who has a broadcast monitor to review it. But learn and use those scopes for sure! It is very easy. "The Color Correction Handbook" by Alexis Van Hurkman is the bible, and easy to read. It explains how to use scopes very well. They are super easy to learn and use.

My bet is that it is not the burning process that changes anything, it is what you're handing them originally. So fire up those scopes and be sure in the Waveform nothing goes over about 95%. In the Vector scope make sure no colors are going beyond the little square graticlues around the color wheel.

And yes, I'd burn it myself. I'd use that money on a copy of Toast 11 Pro and an inexpensive Blu Ray burner. The technology is so old hat now that most all burners are the same these days. Other World Computing (dot com) has some very nice ones. Buy reliable brand name media. Export a QT master file, take it into Toast 11 Pro, make your Blu Ray there. Menus and all.

Thank you very much. Very helpful and comforting!
