Well all this 3D stuff is starting to come out, and NetBlender is there with their newest products. Their MVC encoder is now available for purchase, and I hear their 2.0 beta is in full swing and should be released soon. Here is a press release on the new encoder if you want to read [...]
BluFocus is hosting an event at DTS on 3D Blu-ray authoring on August 3rd. It’s free, but apperantly is filling up fast. Here’s a link with more info on it if anyone is interested in going. I’d like to go, but I’ve been swamped with work (and jury duty) and so I just don’t think [...]
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Guess I’ve gotten in a rut or something.
Anyways, some of the stories I didn’t mention at CES was all the 3D excitement about new players and the PS3’s ability to have a firmware upgrade to support 3D. What does that all mean for us menu designers/encoders/authors? [...]
CinemaCraft and NetBlender have teamed up to provide a new software bundle known as CC-HDe/a. I’m guessing the “/a” stands for authoring. Anyways, it’s an interesting solution for people looking at getting some great encodes. We actually have an HDe and it’s a pretty impressive piece of software, though there are some things that just [...]
I found this on LinkedIn, and it’s pretty cool if you have an iPhone. I’ve never been real good at bit budgets so this is a great tool to have handy. Best of all, it’s free! And it works for DVD or Blu-ray. Here’s what the creator, Andy Evans from The Pavement in London, had [...]

Deal-of-the-day site woot.com has a Pioneer BDP-121 Blu-Ray Player for sale at $134.99 + $5 shipping. They tend to sell out quick so if you want one you better pull the trigger.
I’m not really sure how good of a deal this is, but it seems pretty reasonable to me and it’s a profile 2.0 player, [...]
Adobe has made an interesting announcement this week. While they will be offering Flash on several new devices with Flash 10.1, the iPhone is not supported. However in what seems to be their solution to this problem, they are going to allow Flash to iPhone apps directly from Flash CS5. This isn’t going to be [...]
Personally I’ve never asked this question as I leave it to the authors and replicators to do their magic, but if you’ve ever wondered what the actual process is once you have your BDMCF image created, this article might be for you. The article is written by NetBlender, but it seems to be good information [...]
I got an email from NetBlender earlier this week that describes a new promo they are running that can save you a little money. Their description of the deal is:

Scenarist Safeguard Online Help Updates – The Online Help file for Scenarist Safeguard has been updated to provide more context-sensitive [...]
I’m not entirely sure what’s new in this release except they now have Mac OS X support! I of course love this since I use a Mac almost exclusively.
I still haven’t really had a chance to learn this software but I’d really like to, especially now that it runs on my system of choice.
I know, [...]
Apple released Final Cut Studio 3 today and added the ability to burn Blu-ray discs directly from the application, but I have a feeling you still wont be able to actually play it on your Mac. But, I welcome this change and love that if you are an editor you won’t have to go to [...]
NetBlender is offering a demo of their software in New York City if anyone is interested. Here is a description of the event they sent me:
