Blu-Ray Recording & HD are Here and Now

Blu-Ray discs are the accepted and lowest cost media to play back high definition (HD) or HD3D videos and movies. Inkjet Printable Blu-Ray discs are now available for as low as a $1.75 each.  Low Cost players that connect to your HDTV have penetrated about 20 % of the 114 million households in the USA.

And, this does not count the millions (14 million estimated alone in 2010) of consumers who have Playstation 3s (PS3s) that play Blu-Ray discs or, the BD-ROM players that connect to your computer. Sony, it is estimated, will sell 127 million PS3s over the lifetime of the product.

The process to make an HD Blu-Ray disc is now very easy.
First, the video you have created with your HD camcorder will need to be authored.

You can author this video in a number of ways.  Without using a computer you can do professional authoring and recording of a Blu-Ray disc on JVC SR-HD1250 or a JVC SR-HD1500 Blu-Ray Hard Disc Recorder Deck. The internal hard drive of these devices lets you edit the video transferred from a camcorder or other device. It will also allow you to make copies of DVDs or Blu-Ray Discs by temporarily storing them on the hard drive.

If you prefer, you can connect your camcorder to a PC and use one of many software packages that are currently on the market to author and or edit your HD Video before burning your original Blu-Ray HD disc HD3D disc. CyberLink's PowerProducer, Pinnacle Systems “Pinnacle Studio”, Neros Multimedia Suite 10, Roxio’s “DVDit Pro”, Adobe’s “Encore”, Corel’s “Movie Factory” and Toast for the MAC are some of the packages currently available. Sony “Blu-print 6” is professional authoring software for both 2D and 3D.

After making your mastered and authored Blu-Ray Disc, you may want to make copies. 
The process to duplicate Blu-Ray Discs (BDs) is the same as, for CDs or DVDs, but requires Duplicators that have Blu-Ray recorders (which also duplicate DVDs and CDs).
