Simple BDMV on DVD authoring method demonstrated, discussed

A complete Mac-based end-to end workflow that allows for the creation of simple BD titles for BD-R, and short BDMV titles to be distributed on red-laser DVD media was demonstrated Weds, July 23rd, 2008 at the LAFCPUG meeting at Barnsdall Art Park in Hollywood.

This workflow will also be discussed on Thursday night's Digital Production Buzz live broadcast.

DVDA President Bruce Nazarian will demo the titles, and workflow, at LAFCPUG,  and discuss with 'Buzz' hosts Larry Jordan and Michael Horton on Thursday's DPB broadcast (6 PM on the 'net)

The information is based on the DVDA's continuing research into making BD authoring and production more accessible for mainstream, non-Hollywood applications.  Initial work into this format was conducted by DVDA Directors Chip Eberhart (in Chicago), and Miguel Clarke in Germany.

The LAFCPUG presentation was videotaped, and is available on DVD from LAFCPUG.

Mark Ashkinos, President of Screamervision , a DVDA Small Business member, offers his observations on the current state of Blu-ray. An excerpt:

..."Where is the compelling reason to switch to Blu-ray? Sure you’ll want put your HD content on a Blu-ray disc, but is it so compelling that the small independent content owners will be able to pay the exhorbant fees to make Blu-ray discs?"...
