After a lot of consideration i think it will be best for me to release ESB:R as just 4 releases:
720p high bitrate mkv
PAL DVD-9
NTSC DVD-9
Special featured DVD-5 NTSC onlyNow this way i won’t be wasting a lot of time having to do multiple versions and then have the hassle of uploading such a high volume. The mkv can be played either on a computer or through a media player (which are now a lot more common and aren’t expensive). Also if anyone wanted to burn it to a blu-ray then they can just use TSMuxer to convert it to a blu-ray format and this takes no time at all and loses no quality.
The DVD’s will only be DVD-9 because they can easily be shrunk to fit on a DVD-5 using something like DVDShrink if someone wanted that, but with dual layer burners being commonplace now and discs being really cheap then i can’t see why someone would want a DVD-5 nowadays anyway.
Then the special features disc will be NTSC only as it doesn’t really matter about the smaller than PAL resolution and people can download it if they want to watch the features without having to download a 25gb blu-ray disc.
Didn't Ady also announce since then that there'd be a proper Blu Ray disk image as well? (not just an MKV you'd have to burn yourself) I'm almost certain he did. Or did I dream it?
I'd hate to be deprived of a professional looking disk menu when everything else is done to perfection. Look at me, I sound like a spoilt child :-)
