No…The DVD spec does not support Flash. However, You can use an outboard program like eDVD or intellidisc to access Flash files but there have been serious issue once Vista came along.

First off, before you reply to this post, you’ll have to explain why my previous post was condescending? I’m not here to ruffle feathers. For several years I have tried to help people out and clear up some misinformation on this forum.
Blu-Ray is a great format….on paper. If players don’t live up to the technology, whats the point of bringing it up. Much of those spec on the wiki link are null and void at this point.
But what about people like you and me and our clients? What happens if when they need interactive HD on disc – where do you go? Do you or your client have $100,000 to spend? What if Sony doesn’t like the content you or your client wants to release. You think thye’re going to let you replicate any discs?..of course they won’t. Just the fact Sony has complete control on who replicates a disc or not is reason enough not to support BR.
I could understand supporting BR from an un-educated customers view point. But from someone who authors disc for a living..I just dont get it.

Ahhh…The power of a good marketing plan!
There is no possible way to support that claim. The “BR sells more than HD DVD” claim surely makes sense based on the number of studios adobting thier format – it isn’t a basis on the claim of who winnig a format war. 99% of all HD material is NOT owned by major motion picture studios and Blu Ray is a hindrance to these content owners in releaseing a title. I recieved a qoute recently of $70,000 – $100,000 to author a BluRay title. HD DVD (HDi) is available to everyone and you could author a title by tonight if you’d like. I Always find it odd why anyone who authors DVDs professionally, at any level, would support BD-J at this point in the game. Unless of course you are directly related to it’s developement – which would probably add up to about 100 people in the world 🙂
How is BR technologically superior? And don’t say “higher capacity” and have you compared this “higher technology” with a BR title and a HD DVD title? Blu Ray title/palyers are certainly not supporting what they market to folks on the street:
1 No Advanced audio codecs (Dolby Digital Plus, DTS Master Audio, DD TrueHD) Network hardware
2 No Secondary video decoder
3 No Persistant storage
4 No Reliable interactivity
5. All BR palyers ONLY support level 1 featureshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#1.0
In addition, did you here about the recall/firm ware updates for the new “Pirates of the Caribean” ?? So…maybe…it looks HD DVD is the superior technology here…eh?
I’m sorry, I’m just asking people to do a little research before making big claims on internet forum, especially when its coming from professional DVD folks like Danny :):)

OUCH!

Did you try re-doing what you did they day before to see if the changes stuck? Sometimes Scenarist might crash somwhere and not save your changes – Gee maybe a save button would be nice Sonic!
Also, try right-clicking on your highlight in the track and set “align highlight”. This will properly align the highlight info and your 8Bit.

Thats correct. Both HD DVD and BluRay support multiple codecs on the same disc. However, this may only be possible with Advanced Content HD DVD or BD-J authoring tools. Prosumer tools like DVDit Pro or DVDSP might have some restrictions here – I don’t know i’ve haven’t done much testing with these tools but the HD DVD and Blu Ray specs do carry it.

Just remember…if it can be encoded, it can be cracked. Besides, I’d like to know how much a unit would cost to replicate with “protectdisc”
If someone wants to copy your DVD-VIDEO disc, they will

Whether your titles is delivered on DLT or DVD-R or firewire, its still a DDP image that you’ll need to test. Verifying a title can be expensive but it has saved me in the past – not only from delivering a bad disc but protecting me from a replicator which really doesn’t care about who you or your clients are.
For all major studios releases its just a part of the QC process. I strongly urge my clients to get thier discs verified – some do, some don’t.
Personally, if I would be releasing any retail disc, you’d BET I’d get the thing verified. It’s such an under-rated part of the QC process in DVD.
