A teaser of what I’m working on…
Tell me what you think!
When I posted it to imgur, it totally screwed up the saturation so don’t worry, the actual thing will look better.
That looks pretty sick man! Love it!
So some good news on the UHD BD authoring front! DVDFab just released their UHD BD authoring tool. It can handled HDR10 and Dolby Vision. I’m going to give it a try. However, like other DVDFab authoring tools, it has no menu authoring tools.
It’s $40 for a license and it can author to BD-25’s, BD-50’s, and BD-100’s (BD-66’s are probably an anomaly to account for since they aren’t an even multiplier).
The free community sourced TS2UHD is making some progress but it’s still very pre-alpha at the moment only being successful with certain players and TV’s. It will get somewhere eventually I hope.
Ok just played around with the trial. It does have menu creation (not available in the trial mode) and it’s all templates so it’ll suck haha. Adobe, why do you stop updating encore…

Ok so I’m on the up. However I am in the process of getting a new job lol. So I have to prep for the interview and hopefully start moving soon. That being said, this new job will give me better financial capacity to do it right! So that’s some good news. Will keep everyone posted.
What cover? You have no links to anything.
UHD BD’s can be 50 to over 100 GBs in capacity. Also can be triple or quadruple layer discs.
Looking at my uncompressed mkv rip of Independence Day 4K, it’s at 42.4 GB.
Bitrates can be nearly 100mpbs. Editing 4K videos takes a lot of power. If I have to edit in 4K I use a mix of NLEs like Davinci and After Effects.
As far as authoring 4K Blu-ray at the moment, well you better be rich. There is no consumer level software available. There is a tsmuxing variant (I can’t remember the name) that is attempting this but has severe limitations as it only works with BD50 discs and does not retain HDR metadata and can only mux streams and no menus and it’s also at a bitrate of around 30mpbs.
It’s still early on in UHD BD’s life.
As far as rig specs go for editing, yeah you’ll want at minimum 8 cores and 32GB of RAM as well as at least an NVidia GTX 1060 to help edit.
Still been pretty ill guys. Ill enough that I haven’t gone into work even for weeks. Will try to get this done when I can. But all the art is ready to go and ready to be printed.
May be a bit before I get started. I ended up being admitted to the hospital for a bit, stuck kidney stone and infected kidney 😦
I’ll get started on it this weekend.
So I’ll be getting started on assembling and printing this at the beginning of next week. I’m currently down at PAX South so can’t really do much about it right now.

This index needs to be updated, get new ones in and clean out the ones that no longer have valid image links.
Disney had nothing to do with the OT. You should remove their logo from the disc me-think. And using an image from TFA for a OT box set is quite curious as well.
I put Disney on their because they own all of it now. But I’ll pull the logo anyways because yeah it just doesn’t fit or flow well. And I guess they don’t throw their logo on Star Wars stuff now anyways just the Lucasfilm logo.
As for the melted Darth Vader helmet, I find it symbolic of the despecialized editions. Paying homage to the and worshipping is what Kylo Ren was doing with the helmet. We pay homage to the past by watching stuff that is or is close to the original theatrical releases. Plus I just really like the image. And it can apply to the OT since Vader’s cremation was done at the end of RotJ.
Thanks man!
Please PM it to me as well if you would be so kind, thanks!
Updated the images
NICE! They Look Amazing Mate
Thanks man!
Currently a big work in progress but I’m aiming for a cool take on the 2011 complete saga box. But much much much darker.
I will constantly update this post.
Also these images aren’t exactly their final drafts. The final drafts will never be uploaded online as I don’t want people steeling my work and selling it.
Gonna prototype with white card stock next week and then I’m going to do my first run at the box. It’s gonna be awesome as I will be pressing art foil onto the outer shell.
--------- Progress ------------
1/1/2018 (1) - Currently Figuring out Book Panels
1/1/2018 (2) - Working on Outer box for now. I’ll probably come back to the book panels when I figure out extra features and pamphlets and stuff to design.
1/2/2018 - Added Discs
1/6/2018 - Added Outside cover for the “Guide.” The guide is actually complete and ready for printing. I’d have it printed but my printer just crapped out on me lol. So trying to find a place to get it printed.

Where did you get the “wax paper?” I’ve been searching for it for months lol.
I’m going to take a stab at creating a UHD BD Cover, disc label, and menu. Obviously there aren’t really any consumer friendly options for UHD Blu-ray authoring (probably will be years before anything open source will do menus). But I can basically get it prepped.
I haven’t really been able to be active in this community with my job this year but I’m dead set on helping get 4K77 on to UHD BD. I have constantly been playing around with jdobb’s UHD TS Muxing tool and trying to figure out what will get 4k onto a properly structured disc.
Obviously this would be easier with Scenarist (would have to win the lottery 4 times to get that one). There is also DVD Logic’s KITe UHD Authoring suite ($11,000 for HDMV UHD Authoring, $14,500 for Java based UHD Authoring). I am familiar with BluDisc Studio (from DVD Logic) so KITe shouldn’t be much different, so if people feel I’m competitent enough to do it and if people ask for it, well let me get some stuff done and added here, and then we’ll talk. I wish Adobe had kept up with Encore lol 😦

What does everyone think so far?
Honestly get one of the drives that DeUHD suggests (incase you need to rip from a UHD source) and use MakeMKV and Adobe (I personally like Davinci Resolve as far as NLEs go, it’s fast if you have a decent GPU and I can do color grading and titling a hell of a lot faster in Resolve than Premiere Pro and After Effects)
Interstellar’s new 4K UHD Blu-ray has been zoomed-in and cropped on all four sides; much more than the IMAX shots in the Blu-ray.
I just picked up the Nolan 4K Collection, I’ll have to check it out. I have a one of the decent IMAX cells that came with the original BD release of Interstellar.
@Willarob, are you guys color grading the film in the Rec. 2020 color space?

Edit 2: Updating Cover and Disc Label
Edit 3: In the early stages of building a scene in Unreal Engine 4 for the menu background. Thinking of a theatre full of storm troopers on the death star haha.

So I did a half box for housing the trilogy. I used Harmy’s art. I’m editing the disc label right now because I actually did some menu authoring and re-encoding so I have true Blu-ray copies and not AVCHD.
Here are some pics: http://imgur.com/a/Vneb6
I can upload the psd files later. I just had to do the measurements a certain way because the Bluray cases I have are inbetween 11 mm and 12 mm in spine width. But they’re good cases so I suffered through the constant wasting of paper.
I used card stock on the final prints.
The Melted Darth Vader Helmet I took from a still of the Ep 7 trailer and photo-shopped it out and applied a filter (can remember what filter I used haha). Most of the blues are actually bright or actually purple in photoshop because they don’t show up well with a black background on paper.
Give up on it, partition your hd/or make a bootable usb thumb drive with linux on it and use imgburn and other free software that is out there.
