Mediafire sounds pretty good. A 200mb limit is unfortunate, especially for a 25GB BD but it's not impossible.
I was also thinking, how difficult would it be to create a sort of a Blu-Ray skeleton, so that people who have the MKV (which will have the same video stream for the main movie as the BD) could simply download that and then mux it together to create a fully functioning BD? Would that be possible?
If mediafire speed is good, 200mb it's not so bad... ;-) Specially for the AVCHD project.
Tsmuxer can convert a mkv file into a BD or AVCHD in minutes, for an emergency solution it's ok, but just to make a disc without menus.
First of all thank you Harmy, WP3R2 really is great :-)
Well, I think there is a possibility to release it the way Harmy thought of. However I have never tried that personally, so it should be tested before release.
He could author a BD with menus and everything and save it to a folder, using whatever authoring software he wants to. Then he could delete the m2ts for the main movie, rar the rest of the files and upload them.
People would then take the mkv and remux it to m2ts using TsMuxer. Then they'd copy it in the appropriate folder. The last step would be to use Imageburn and create an iso.
About the upload: How long do you have to wait at mediafire before you can download the next file?
I would really go for usenet, at least as a second way of distribution. Yes, many ISPs don't offer usenet access anymore, but since they didn't cover binary groups this doesn't really matter here, does it? To download binaries/files you have to pay (or get a free test account). However, prices are rather low I'd say and files have a very high retention of rougly 3 years or even more for some providers.
@djchaseb: No, the whole OT will be reworked as v2.0
