Blu-Ray action during pause

[Daniel Ludwig]

well eric,
seriously that´s true – there´s a lot work to do if you would like to do discs like that.

but in fact it´s all possible to do with DVD-Logic-products – BD-J could be implemented using BD-Author.

I just wanted to show it´s also possible with other tools than the “usual suspects”.

cheers

Yes….possible. Realistic? No

Just don’t want to give the OP any false hopes or time wasting goose chases

I think the OP is about to lay down some cash without knowing what he’s getting into is all 🙂

So right now, this is what my Blu-ray looks like: first play copyright warning (no remote function permitted), end jumps to a menu with three buttons, 3 different docs Part 1, P2 and P3 each button links to a docs menu. Each doc has a main menu, on this menu 3 buttons, Play, Scenes, Back. The Scenes button links to Chapter Page 1 with 3 chapter buttons plus three buttons back, play all, next, same with Chapter Page 2. The structure is the same for the three docs. I also have a pop-up menu. On the DVD version (3 DVDs one for each doc) I had extras but I decided to eliminate them to give more room for doc compression. As per instructions on another thread here, I also have a disc logo, the bdmt_eng.xml, so on a PS3 my Logo comes up with title, I burn to a folder with encore add bdmt_eng.xml then create an ISO UDF 2.5 and ready to burn a test.

I have one blu-ray disc as a model which is Avatar. Of course Avatar is much much better presented, the two items it has which I do not are the Pause function and Chapter Titles with names as you scroll, (mine is Title 1, 2, etc non sequential.) all of this I understand is Java based which is out of the question for me.

Realistically, at this point I do not know what additional functionality I can add that would render my Blu-ray more conventional or something one would expect after watching a regular Hollywood feature. It seems to me I have covered the basics of the remote. But then again I do not know enough.

But if there is an article I can read that will help me understand what I am missing (menu functions or whatever) which in turn will help me decide if I should embark on learning a new authoring software, I am ready, (sort of.)

Thanks,

Hagop
