Viewer

When we say the viewer, we are referring to the person who is watching the Blu-ray Disc that you have

created. The viewer may be watching your disc on a set-top Blu-ray Disc player, a PlayStation®3, or a

computer software player such as ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre.

Product philosophy

We are committed to making professional Blu-ray Disc authoring practical for the mid-sized producer, so

we set out to create the ideal tool for DVD authors who are making the transition to Blu-ray Disc authoring.

Rather than simply map a tool to the Blu-ray Disc specification, DoStudio Authoring maps the DVD

authoring workflow to Blu-ray Disc creation.

In order to do this, we have identified the most pressing needs of the professional authoring community

and designed DoStudio Authoring to specifically meet those needs efficiently and affordably: pop-up

menus, picture-in-picture, BD-Live, and a robust plug-in architecture for inclusion of third party BD-J

applications such as games.

The current release of DoStudio Authoring supports pop-up menu creation, Blu-ray 3D™ support, picture-in-

picture support, support for third-party BD-J (including BD-Live features) and BDCMF (BD25 & BD50)

formatting with AACS support for replication. In other words, DoStudio Authoring does everything you

need to make a professional Blu-ray Disc today. Which features are available to you depends upon which

licenses you have purchased. For more information, see http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/dostudio.
