"The Digital Guy" Blu-ray info |
|
 I am currently putting a lot of work into my new book on Blu-ray Disc - the "Fast Path to Blu-ray" PDF e-book will cover currently available options for creating Blu-ray discs, and dispel mis-information about what can or cannot be done, and how much (or how little) it can cost. The book includes information on new features in Final Cut Pro Studio 3, as well as Toast 10, Encore CS4. I'll also cover Blu-ray duplication and Replication options, including information on using BluStreak Premaster to convert BDMV folders into replicatable BD CMF folders which most replicators can accept.
 By special arrangement, I joined Larry Jordan for one day only, to deliver a special presentation on Blu-ray Authoring for Macintosh and new BD features in FINAL CUT STUDIO 3. As promised, I have uploaded the PDF from that session to the DOCS area, and it's in the folder called "Free downloads that require a login" . If you are already a member (even a free member) and are currently logged in, you can link to it here:  TheLongAndShortOfBlu-ray.pdf 2009-07-29 00:14:47 6.68 Mb
 Blu-ray on DVD authoring demoed at FCPUG SuperMeet SFO
Digital Guy Bruce Nazarian demonstrated a fast and AACS license-free Blu-ray authoring workflow using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium at January's FCPUG SuperMeet in San Francisco. I've begun posting new Toast 10 video tutorials here on the site, showing you how to use Toast 10 to make a Blu-ray Disc on DVD-R.
My SuperMeet presentation was videotaped, and is available online at MacVideo.tv.
Thanks to Ric Young for shooting, editing and posting the presentation.
