The Digital Guy blog

I'll be on the Digital Production Buzz tomorrow (Thursday) with Larry Jordan and Michael Horton discussing the new "quick" Blu-ray features in Final Cut Studio 3, as well as BRAND NEW IDMA Blu-ray replication deals created especially for indie producers. These deals allow creation of 1000 retail-ready Blu-ray discs at unbeliveable prices, and with AACS licensing details administered by the replicator. Check out the show tomorrow...  

Are you in the Southern California area? Want to spend a few hours getting the most up-to-date information on the latest advances in Digital Media publishing using Blu-ray media or Blu-ray on DVD discs, as well as updates on Final Cut Pro and other Mac apps ? Join me at Larry Jordan's Santa Ana, CA Power Up seminar July 28th

For many who are new to Blu-ray Disc (BD), the bewildering selection of licenses and fees are causing a lot of confusion. Unlike DVD, which had a fairly loose approach to licenses for content creators, there ARE some BD licenses that may not be obvious to all, even those who are experienced in DVD! I'll spend the next few posts clarifying what you may be expect of licensing for BD usage.
