And yes I second DVD Architect as current and very usable - cheap too. So yes never say die and I love physical media and remember until streaming bandwidth rockets it is still currently the highest quality that a consumer will be able to view films at home. I also found quite a sizeable market for serious collectors, some of whom are raising money on Kickstarter, to restore long lost classics on Blu Ray and they need people like us. It totally surprised me and upon asking around it seems that DVD is still more popular than Blu Ray (60-40%) in sales. ![]() During this I had a job quite by chance come in for a 150 DVDs, authored, duplicated and shrink wrapped, with possibly quite a bit more to come. Although more prosumer than pro, between the two they can handle both duplication and replication output in both DVD and standard Blu Ray. So I went back to an old copy of Avid DVD (Sonic DVDit Pro) and bought a copy of DVD Architect for 40 quid. I trailed DVD Logics UHD Blu Ray software but the investment is simply not worth it. After recently servicing my old disc publishing system for a DCP/Blu Ray release, I dusted off my old software and looked into the current situation. Whether this is niche and temporary, nonetheless they refuse to die. Vinyl, DVD and Blu Ray and even for god knows why, cassette has seen a slight bump. Chapters will be a kind of markers in the timeline, subtitles are already implemented, and video and audio angles are just timeline tracks.įunnily enough during lockdown there has been a slight resurgence in physical media, despite streaming's universal total appeal. Why don’t go a small step further and allow user to provide PSD files as menus, allowing to activate some layers as buttons for the most used action (play, change subtitles, change audio, go to chapter.). I understand A full fledged Scenarist alternative is out of the question, but a simple (play, languages, chapters) menu should be easy to implement, and is already avaible (sort of) in premiere and fcpx. That could be true in your market and /or territory, but consider there’s a big part of the world where broadband deployment hasn’t even started, internet connections are slow and inestable, and physical media is still a must for some markets (weddings, corporate, education.) Maybe a feature film market in Hollywood is more interested in streaming now, but there’s a much bigger market than that worldwide.Ībout the other tools available, yes, there are options (clunky windows apps mainly), but then there are also for dcp creation or imf netflix packages, why not to output a simple dvd / blueray? It’s ugly and clunky as hell, but it works (and even better, it’s free)Ĭonsidering that streaming is becoming more important than Blue-ray, i don't see spending time in developing those tools as useful. In the meantime I just use DVDstyler to author the discs. That level of education and suggestion is all I can do. Ive warned them for years that dvd authoring is becoming more and more untenable, and that they should consider upgrading to a file-based playback system. Like you, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to deal with this on the Mac, but that’s more the client’s problem, and not mine. I still have a “legacy” client from 25 years ago who has been modifying the same tour-bus videos I originally edited for them in the 90s, and I always have to make a DVD for them, because that’s the only format the on-bus playback systems supports. I can’t fathom why Resolve would need to support it in any significant way. There are authoring tools (albeit rapidly shrinking in availability) that already exist to author bluray material. Supporting optical disc authoring capabilities is not where modern production tools should be spending any amounts of time and resources to develop.
