If you're a Mac Blu-ray disc author, and have been wondering how you can create a BD CMF master folder for Blu-ray replication, well wonder no more.

BluStreak Premaster was introduced at NAB 2009's FCPUG SuperMeet, and sneak-previewed at the IDMA Blu-ray day at NAB PPWC. It is yet another innovative program from the fertile programming mind of Larry Applegate, father of "DVD After Edit".

BluStreak Premaster allows you to convert a Mac-authored BDMV project that would ordinarily only be publishable on BD- or DVD- recordable media into BD CMF form, so it can be delivered to a Blu-ray replicator for mass publication on BD-ROM or as a BD on DVD-ROM.

Well, it's been an interesting NAB 2009, that's for sure...

While it was a little low-key as far as Blu-ray was concerned, one VERY interesting development was the introduction of BluStreak Premaster  a new Mac program that allows replication of Blu-ray projects created on a Mac with Adobe Encore CS3/4 or Roxio Toast 10.

BluStreak Premaster is the latest brainchild of Larry Applegate, the programmer responsible for DVD After Edit. It's the first program in a planned series of BluStreak products.

I always look forward to April - it's NAB time, and that means fighting long taxi lines at McCarran, tired feet, and dodging thousands of attendees inside the LVCC all of whom are searching (in vain) for something OTHER than a $10 hot dog for lunch!

But the best part is always meeting up with you who come and mingle, and attend, and learn. And this year, I'll be at three different places:

Sunday - April 19 - I'll be hosting the Focus on Technology Blu-ray at NAB PPWC an entire day of technology sessions on the current state of Blu-ray authoring and production
