Ideally, yes, this would be uploaded as a .iso for anyone to burn.
As for authoring Blu-Rays yourself, here's the predicament: there is a lot of **DVD authoring** software (Adobe Encore, DVD Architect Pro, etc) that also includes Blu Ray capabilities, but pretty much all of them are essentially dressed-up DVD authoring tools and aren't capable of handling tasks as complex as Blu Ray is capable of (or in some cases, requires). Now doing simple blu rays at home, that's fine, although none of them can handle as many audio/subtitle options as this beast has, so there's that.
Basically right now your only options for pro-level BR authoring software are:
-DoStudio Indie ($3,000)
-DoStudio EX ($5,000)
-Sony Blu Print (~$50,000) (yes you read that right)
-Scenarist BD $????? (I have yet to figure out where the hell you're supposed to be able to buy this)
Additionally, I think I'm still sensing a little confusion here and there on the last couple pages, and going back and reading previous Blu Ray discussions I think I understand why. People using other freeware BR authoring software were saying things like "it only allows x amount of tracks on an audio menu" or "it won't let you make more than one of x kind of menu".
DoStudio doesn't work that way. It doesn't make any distinction between menu types, it doesn't have a limit on onscreen buttons, none of that shit. I can put a thousand buttons on the screen if I want. There are no pre-defined templates, it ALL has to be custom-made. ALL of it. The examples I posted above weren't made on a pop-up menu template, I made them in Photoshop from scratch and imported them in. As far as DoStudio is concerned, there is no "audio menu" or "subtitle menu", there is only "squares with buttons on it", whether it's one square or a thousand. So it's VERY different from authoring a DVD. As Yoda says, "You must unlearn what you have learned." :P
So it's not a question of "CAN we fit all these things on one screen?", it's "SHOULD we?" and my opinion is no, we shouldn't. It fills the screen with clutter and buries that beautiful restored footage under a mountain of language options.
