Jan Ozer | One of the coolest new features in Adobe Encore CS4 is the ability to insert pop-up menus over video in Blu-ray Disc projects, a feature unique among authoring programs in Encore's class. In this tutorial, I'll describe how to implement that feature as I did in a simple project I produced in early fall.

Jan Ozer | Sooner or later, if you’ve been shooting or otherwise producing high-definition video, you’re going to want to create a Blu-ray Disc. At this point, your Blu-ray authoring options range from well under $100 to burn on a desktop recorder or duplicator, to close to $100,000 for a program capable of producing Blu-ray projects that you can have pressed at a replication facility. In this article, I’ll identify the relevant categories of Blu-ray authoring software and identify the features that differentiate programs within each category.

Geoff Daily | Nothing's more important to new formats than making sure they'll work once they get into the hands of consumers. And the same holds even more true for Blu-ray Disc, which not only wants to revolutionize HD distribution but also what interactive experiences can mean in the living room. Here's a look into why verification is now mandatory for authors preparing discs for replication, why it's important, and how it gets done.
Debbie Galante Block | BD authoring tools and procedures continue to develop with BD-Live creating more of a challenge than 3D. However, it’s not surprising to see Sony, Technicolor, Sonic and, yet again, the aggressive Richard Diercks on the forefront of knowledge and experience.

Jan Ozer | Ulead DVD MovieFactory ($79.99) is the best choice I’ve seen for video producers who need to deliver both Blu-ray and HD DVD for their clients now. HD DVD authoring is about what you’d expect in terms of DVD authoring from a consumer product, but Blu-ray is more limited. If you need menus on your Blu-ray discs, Roxio DVDit Pro HD is a better choice, but it costs a bunch more and has its own player-related issues.
