Blueray authoring, what tool do you use?

[lutinor]

Hi all,

Just for information, which autoring tool do you use/love ? ^^

tsMuxer for movie only.

multiAVCHD or TMPGEnc Authoring Works when I need to create a disc with menus.

tsMuxer is the only way to go if you just want movie only! :)

I use Scenarist for building discs with menus, or I 'borrow' Java code from a studio disc and hack that if I java-style menus. :)

Yes.

However, be warned that the BD structure of tsmuxer would work in BDplayers only*, for other purposes use multiavchd (you can create a project without menus as well) which has special outputs, like PS3, AVCHD players, Panasonic etc.

*My experience with BD players (2009-2010) was that not all of them could play BD projects, depending on their content (VC-1, MPEG-2, H.264) and on the medium (DVD, BD).

I believe that newer generations of players are more tolerant vs. user media (marketing strategies).

Personnaly i like Dostudio from netblender. Very smart system , far away better than Scnenarist and way cheaper :)

Sound cool, any tuts for the java borrowed sort of thing?

Just a lot of hacking... :) There some java titles that all of the menu functionality is controlled by a series of text files stored on the disc. All you have to do is edit them to your wishes (after figuring out what they do)... It's a lot of trial and error, but you'd be surprised what you are able to do with them sometimes...
