Key differences between EasyBD and Blu-Disc Studio

[Alexey Kolesnikov]

EasyBD has a clean and simple interface. You can simply add video and audio and click "Mux". To add a menu, you can use the IG Editor (included with Easy BD). It allows you to import menu from PSD files or create it directly. The user interface is based on the internal BD structure. If you need to create a more complex disc you can use "Advanced commands" page.

Features:
- HDMV commands and interactive menu (IES stream) based;
- "Import BD" feature (built-in BD Reauthor);
- User must create HDMV commands for menu operation (includes IG editor);
- User interface is simple and shows the fields of the original BD specification.


Blu-Disc Studio interface is based on a "constructor" model. You design menus as separate pages and assign navigation between them and movies. You can also use PSD import here. It allows you to use true-color images and various animations. Also has several wizards to automate some actions.

Hi! I am new to the forum, I plan to buy Blu Disc Studio, but I do not decide whether to buy the stardar or MX version, both versions have the same characteristics except for Muxing project using internal muxer.
The question can I compile my project on physical disk in stardar version, or Would the MX version be very fundamental? Someone from the forum could advise me. I appreciate your valuable time in advance

[Alexey Kolesnikov]

To compile project in the Standard version you need to use tsMuxer or Scenarist.

tsMuxer does not produce Blu-ray specification compatible output. This means that it may not play or play incorrectly on some players. Thus, test your player with tsMuxer output before.

The price of Scenarist is significantly higher than difference between BDS Standard and BDS MX.

Thus, if you do not have Scenarist and need Blu-ray that plays on all players, we recommend you to buy MX version.

Thanks for your valuable information

Any guide or tutorial to properly compile Blu Ray with any guide or tutorial to properly compile Blu Ray with?

[Hugo]

restating my question, ¿any tutorial to compile with the internal muxer?

[Alexey Kolesnikov]

There are no tutorials regarding the compilation process itself. You just need to specify the target (a small drop-down triangle on the fourth button at the left on the toolbar) and click this button (not a drop-down triangle) to start multiplexing.

But there are some general tutorials from Theo de Klerk https://blu-disc.net/downloads#guides and some video-guides https://blu-disc.net/guides

And a new "your first bluray disc quickly" guide. Just follow steps to make a disc with simple menu and 2 or 3 short movies with optional subtitles.
(to be replaced by your own movies of course). But it "makes" a project and once you see the steps, you can dive into the User's Guide to see how thins can be made more suble, animated etc.
