Ton shares his insights into the difficulties of producing Blu-Ray discs and gives an update on the expected shipping date.
Producing blu-ray discs (BD) means you have to make a master that survives the strictest (into the extreme) tests with Sony software in a reproduction factory.
No way you can do this with free/open source software. Sp we tried it with Adobe Encore first – it gives a good working bluray video disc – but to our dismay we found that it’s made in a way Sony doesn’t allow mass duplication. For copying BD in factories, you have to use their own (extreme expensive) authoring sw.
We then hired a mastering studio to redo this.

time to put BlueRay to rest another stupid overly expensive format to maintain a monopoly.
I am curious if in the time of internet streaming how long BlueRay will remain.
Surprised Ton is bothering with Blu-ray to be honest... Think this will be the last physical medium for distributing films, shame it's such a sack of crap to work with...
