Blu-Ray Volume Name in DVD Architect?
Ok.. I’m sure I’m missing something. I’ve made a few dozen Blu-Ray discs, this never occurred to me until now… or maybe I just forgot. How do I set the Volume Name for a Blu-Ray disc?
In DVDA, you create an ISO first. ISOs contain their volume name information, but you don’t get to enter this when creating the ISO, because DVDA is thinking, we’ll add this at burn time. At burn time, you can’t change the volume name, so DVDA ghosts out the volume name setting.
So I figure, there must be some other place DVDA stores the volume name for Blu-Ray prep. Can’t find it. Am I missing something, or is this actually a bug/flaw in DVDA. I’m using 5.2, but I don’t imagine it’s any different than 5.0.
I found another annoying thing in DVDA, too. I had this interface that uses a reverse mask. Basically, I have a bunch of windows (well, they look like iPads) with bits of video, for a scene selection. I did one of these this way, on DVD, using Impression, ages ago, where I masked the unselected windows and opened just the selected one. Here I found I could dim the unselected items, using a mask and setting “transparent” to something non-transparent… in this case, a basically a neutral density. So you see all the unselected video bits, but the selected one pops out.
But argh! It’s so hard to do good disc UIs in DVDA. Apparently, their “DVD Emulation” used to make BD look like DVD (native BDs are written in BD-Java primarily, I think)… you can’t set transparent to anything but transparent. Grr! Argh!

Nevermind… found it. Volume Name is down in the bottom of one of the preferences dialogs. Looked up an old BD project… I had found this before.

Hi;
I’m having the exact same problem, but I can’t find anything in Preferences. Can you provide the detailed path to the field that will let me enter the volume name? I’m using DVDA Pro 5.2.
Thanks!

Fire up the “Properties” dialog. On the Properties tab, select the “Disc Properties” menu. Scroll down to the bottom. You should find the “Disc Labels” section, which includes “Volume name”. That’s what you want.

Yaay!
Thanks, Dave! I was looking everywhere but there. I really appreciate the quick response.
I hope Creative Cow keeps this thread up forever – I bet we were not the only ones pulling our hair out in big chunks over this.
