Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

[Jeremy Garchow] "Just curious, how many people on this thread have had their clients actually ask for BluRay?"

I usually get a "gut feeling" when a client is about to ask about something new, so
I did all my homework (which drive and software to purchase) and sure
enough within a month I had my first client inquiry for Blu-Ray disc.

It was for a feature length film at a festival in L.A. Everyone else
brought in DVDs for playing on the projector, my client brought in a BD
disc and blew everyone else's presentation away in picture quality.

I sure hear a lot of complaints about Encore (I don't use it as it was unstable enough with dvd authoring)
but I don't hear a lot about DVDITPRO-HD which is what I use. Sure it's a little quirky (all bd authoring is pretty much at this point), but
it works (menus actually do work) and as of 6.4 it is certified for BD replication as well
as dual layer functionality. It also accepts VC-1 and H.264 streams just like the big hollywood discs. It also rejects anything but compliant video streams and its made by the same company
that makes Scenarist.

I'm quite satisfied with it at this point. But If I needed all the bells and whistles of the
full spec, Do Studio is where I would go.
