Miraizon will stop providing their products at the end of January!
They have accepted an offer of “a larger company” to be acquired.
https://www.miraizon.com/I have doubts that we see the codec from another company in future!
I simply hope that the industry moves to a codec that makes more sense, to a codec that is widely available for different platforms. The propritairy Apple crap is not really helpful to exchange footage! I hope that Cineform will get its place in workflows since it is part of Premiere CC & now SMPTE standard.
And for sure, it is the most advanced codec actually.Andreas

MS-Online store? Windows8? Oh god, that scares me really! 😉
I hope they will find an alternative distribution platform.Andreas

Hi Daniel,
is this for sure? A half year ago Larry told me that it’s not much likely that they will develop a PC version.
From my point that would be really really awesome since there are a lot of great tools without BDCMF support.If that is true, I would be the first person that orders Bluestreak for Windows.
Cheers

Just to add this,
all mentioned BD tools are PC-based.
DoStudio & BluPrint only can create BDCMF master for replication.Andreas Gumm

There is not much for the Mac!
If you want an authoring tool that can master replicable Blu-ray discs you should install bootcamp and Windows 7 & simply buy SONY DoStudio Indie.Other way is using Adobe Encore + Blustreak to create replicable masters.
But maybe you will end up with issues on verification state.Andreas Gumm

As far as I know, you can’t control in DVD Architect.
You need another authoring tool that work on spec layer.
Scenarist would be best decision, but sadly it is not available anymore.
Another idea is to use DVD-lab PRO. It is still available at an affordable price tag.
It can create DDP images, but it sadly can’t set CSS!Andreas

What country is the BD intended for?
If the BD is intended for playback in former NTSC countries just apply a slow down to 23.976 progressive frames. Otherwise you can stay with 24p. You should conform the subtitle track first to the desired frame rate by using a low resolution video file in a proper subtitle editor before you use the script in any authoring tool.Andreas Gumm

Most of the european DVD player (>95%) can easily play back NTSC DVDs!
The DVD just needs to be region code 2 or simply free.Andreas Gumm

Sorry, I can’t!
The Toshiba system has been sold to partner authoring houses only (I think around a number between 15-20 worldwide). The software was primarily intended for inhouse development & testings.
Matsushita, Philips & SONY may have their own similar software, but those capabilities has never been leaked.Andreas Gumm

Even Scenarist SD can’t do what you want fully. It is not capable to do real seamless branching, so don’t expect that cheaper software can do. I’ve never seen a software tool that is capable of seamless branching by myself, but as far as I know, there is a Toshiba authoring tool that is fully capable.
