Digital Production Buzz Radio

You can’t read, see, or hear anything about media today without stumbling over the words “high-definition.” We can shoot high-definition video. We can edit it. We can even watch it. But, how do we distribute it? If you want to make money on your HD video, you need to create a high-def DVD. But how?
Surprisingly, the answer is: “It ain’t easy.”

To answer these questions, we’ve created this Special Report that looks at the entire state of Blu-ray technology. Hosted by Larry Jordan, our featured guest is Bruce Nazarian, president of the International Digital Media Alliance and internationally-recognized expert in optical media.

To start, Bruce and Larry discuss the history of Blu-ray Discs and discover how we got to where we are; including the differences between Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. We also digress a bit to talk about the big competitor to Blu-ray Discs – online digital downloads.

Bruce and Larry talk about how to create Blu-ray Discs using PCs. What software and hardware do you need? How well does it work? How much do you need to spend?

Bruce and Larry talk about how to set up a system to review your Blu-ray Discs, then explain what you need to know to create Blu-ray Discs on Macintosh systems. Bruce also details potential pitfalls when using a Mac to create Discs for manufacturing.

Bruce and Larry discuss the hottest topic in Blu-ray – getting the proper licenses and how much they cost, tips for people starting to create Blu-ray Discs for the first time, and whether the Blu-ray market is even big enough to bother.

This Special Report is key for anyone looking to understand this new technology.
