  • Work Flow for Completing a project for Blue Ray

    Is it possible yet to create a blue ray DVD. So far I’ve edited a HDV project but is there a work flow for mastering a HDV project with menu to a Blue Ray DVD?

    I noticed sony has a blue ray burner out but I havent heard if there are drivers yet for a mac. I’m not even sure how you would encode a HDV project for mastering a blue ray DVD.

    If there isnt a solution yet, when does everyone think we’ll be able to do such a project.

    It’s not there yet. Sony – I just worked on multiple levels of the first BluRay feature release for SONY – and they are doing their BLURAY authoring… IN HOUSE. It’ll be that way for a bit too.

    You can only prepare graphics materials to size and separate elements – SONY has to author them – you simply provide a quicktime mockup of how they’ll move. The graphics are done using a version scripting language of JAVA. It’s a pretty adventurous process which will venture outside of them..but that’s how it’s starting off.

    Blu Ray burning to you will mean – DATA mostly – not blu ray DVD making for set tops. Basic playback blu ray of movies themselves may be possible very near future..but the button/menu stuff… not yet.

    Thats pretty much what I thought. I do like the archiving abilities of blue ray but from what I understand they are unsupported in macs right now. I’m sure drivers will be out shortly though
