May 2009 meeting: “Blu-ray Video Disc Authoring on the Mac”
Posted on 16. May, 2009 by Mel Matsuoka.
Blu-ray has officially won the “format war” against HD-DVD, and is now the standard delivery format for HD content on optical discs. With the dramatic increase in HD production and the rising popularity amongst consumers of movies on Blu-ray, the format has become more important as a means for us to deliver our content.
