For those having Blu-Ray issues: there are several Blu Ray players out there that just will not play BD-Rs, period. Be sure to Google the model number of your player and see what it says (I found this out the hard way: I was working on a BR for a commercial release and some of our QA testers just could not play their test copies at all for this exact reason). I know for a fact that the PS3 WILL play BD-Rs (in fact my authoring software that I have said it was the "gold standard" for playback functionality), but the Xbox One will not. Not sure about the PS4.
As for the bit rate, I know the software I've got (DoStudio Indie 4.0) sets a limit at 40 Mbps for video with 48 Mbps total. It says that newer Blu Ray players are capable of higher bit rates but that the limit was placed to ensure maximum compatibility. What is the maximum bit rate of your file, Hal?

That would be one explanation. Though it wouldn't explain why my disc worked on the PS3, and not the PS4. Should certainly be powerful enough.
According to the PS4's website:
"Insert the disc, and then select the content from the content area. The first time you play a disc, you must enable the disc playback feature over the Internet."
Did you do this? I don't own a PS4 so I have no idea if they even make it obvious that it's something that needs to be done or not.
