On a side note, I am wondering how you made your simple menus for the BD. Since I have some HD-DVD stuff that I'm synching with cinema DTS and putting them in to a Bluray format I'd like to be able to do the same for them.

Any chance you'd share how you did it?

Thanks

I purchased TMPGenc Authoring Works 4. It cost about 75 bucks at the time if I remember right. I didn't realize it only encodes mpeg2 at the time though. After making a test disc I found that I could replace the mpeg2 files with x264 files using this method. It was rather difficult to do all of the muxing and hex editing though so that's why I only replaced the 3 films and left the menus alone.

I believe TMPGenc authoring works 5 does both mpeg2 and x264 encoding so that would be the easiest route to pursue. It is rather easy to use and creates compliant discs but it is limited to only a couple of audio tracks per title and the same with the subtitles. The menus can be customized but it is still a template so you won't be able to create anything like with more expensive software but as we all can tell it gets the job done :).

Is there some reason you couldn't use multiavchd? Multiavchd has about a 50/50 chance of burning a brick instead of a compliant disc though lol. Oh, and the menus really suck on multiavchd imo.

BTW, thanks to Harmy for the excellent cover he provided. Can I pin that up on the first post so everybody will see it?

I've decided to do a similar BD-25 release for the '97SE captures. This will happen before I re-up the '97 raw files again. I've not got a timeframe on this. It'll probably be after summer because summer is short here in Sweden, so I don't want to spend time on the pc or tv while I can be outside lol.
