What matters is the quality of the original video. Quality of “standard definition” of 720×480 remains the same even if it is converted to 1920×1024 resolution.

Blu-Ray is a dismal failure.

@ GAOTD Team

Thanks for offering this software, I was probably hoping you'd do exactly that. Installed and working just fine, it seems.

@ mario

Thanks for the info, that's really helpful. I probably would have overlooked the option entirely if you hadn't mentioned it.

@ KP

Well, John's comment seems to provide answer(s) to your question, although I believe the maximum resolution for Blu-ray is 1920x1080.
With Blu-ray you can achieve directly – or near that – pristine quality in Full-HD. To me, Avatar has proven that. You're likely to be able to play the disc(s) (if you make any) on every fully operational Blu-ray player out there, and with the program being a giveaway, you don't have to pay anything to use it.
The program can make ISO files (as mentioned by John), and also Blu-ray folders, which should be playable by e.g. the VLC media player. With ~50Gb discs supported, you should be able to fit over two hours of video on a single disc, with very high bitrate overall.
The Blu-ray creator offered here today has 35 Mbits as its maximum bitrate for video, and I believe that will be good enough. Both MPEG-2 and, more importantly, H.264 encoding is available. Both NTSC and PAL are supported as well. For audio, you can choose AC3 or PCM.
Through the use of certain 3D software solutions, like Bryce and LightWave 3D, you can make your own movies in Full-HD, and burning such movies on Blu-ray will let you watch them on a HDTV with HDMI input, given all components work sufficiently of course. If I'm correct, audio on Blu-ray can be better than on DVD. And, if you choose BD-RE discs to burn the movie(s) on, possible errors occuring
during the burning process should not render the discs useless at first, since you can theoretically write to the discs several times.
Video discs are portable, and that's likely to be considered a good thing. And, at least in Norway, Blu-ray discs aren't necessarily so expensive now. Buying a 64GB memorystick will probably cost you more.
In case you're not interested in video and audio quality, I've probably not got much to tell you that's likely to make you interested in making video Blu-ray discs. There's even a chance you already know most I've mentioned above, so it has perhaps not been enlightening at all. I hope you'll consider this an appropriate response (if you read it) – it has taken some time to write it.


In general:
I'm not sure the English contained in this message is 100% correct, but I do believe you'll understand its contents well enough.

I hate to tell you guys...But BR burners do not come with software

TechPundit #20

Thank you for the advise. I will make a point of checking the folder or file(s) size before trying to burn it to a disk.

At the time of writing, there are 20 comments and 573 upvotes achieving an approvals ratio of 83%. The question to be asked isn't about the software but about the software publisher: when oh when is Aiseesoft ever going to learn that the stunts it repeatedly pulls -- and I do mean, repeatedly -- with vote rigging and vote manipulation are so blatantly obvious that no self-respecting computer user would want to go anywhere near them?

Thanks, GAOTD. But where Aiseesoft is concerned, absolutely no thanks.

At last Aiseesoft has included Quick Sync Video encoding instead of the usual other two. Now i can free up space in my PC. Great news!

Fist test was not too promising. Two files taken from a sony full hd camcorder, one of the menu templates was used. There is no way to avoid re-encoding assuming the source file is in blu-ray format already.

Menu did not come up, and disk was not playable on a samsung bd-c5900. It did play on a toshiba bdx3200, but with some stuttering and audio/picture sync problems.

Bugger, because the program interface was pretty straight forward and easy to use.

@Webfan

Assuming that your backup software supports a Blu-Ray burner drive, there is no reason why you cannot use Blu-Ray blank media to archive data files (pictures, documents, etc). One possible downside is that the backup process may be long, depending upon the amount of data you want to archive, and (if you have a LOT of data) you may exceed the capacity of the Blu-Ray media (25GB single-sided, 50GB double-sided), which would mean swapping in a new blank disc in the middle of the backup process.

I don't need BR burning software because I have not bought nor installed one yet. When I do, I am sure they will have the proper software with it. In fact, I've worked on many computers, and still do sometimes, and not one of them has had a blue ray player/burner installed on them.

Maybe I could use some help from someone with a lot more experience then I have. At this time I don’t have a blu-ray burner in my computer, but I am looking forward to getting one in the future. My object in doing this isn’t so much movies as it is to use the large capacity disks to archive more ordinary files such as documents, photographs, and similar. Is there any reason this wouldn’t work?

Last year I purchased Aiseesoft DVD converter and thought "With software like this I can burn through my projects in record time".
Yeah, in my dreams. Immediately found a sound anomaly where bursts of audio made shreds of the sound track. I applied the most current update and looked around the forums for a easy fix. Later I called support and was treated with callous disrespect. To prove Later I test-installed this "software" on 3 other machines with the same results. Unusable wasted blank DVD-R's. It seems that these software company's are so full of themselves that they can't admit that bugs exist in their Creations. I never did get this resolved and Aiseesoft refused my application for a refund. My advise is to pass on whatever they offer.

If you don't have room on your desktop computer or you're using a laptop computer then you can buy a portable Blu-ray player that plugs into the USB port of your computer.

As been said if your viewing your video camera recordings on DVD then your missing out on the higher picture quality that most video cameras have to offer.

@CooDaddy
We understand the function it performs.
So, being able to read and write, why should someone want to do this?
If you can't think of an adequate and thoughtful response, please don't say anything at all.

@7 David
If your smart tv is HD and is able to play mkv format why not play a mkv file directly without processing it by Aiseesoft Blu-ray Creator 1.0.8.
If it is named e.g. xyz.ts (ts is a container format which can contain e.g. mkv or mpeg2, the DVD format, also VOB is mpeg2) you should simply try. Copy your file to your USB stick and look for play button or goto menu "Multimedia" or whatever.

to all:
Normally blue-ray recorders come with appropriate software but I hope Aiseesoft Blu-ray Creator 1.0.8 got more functions.

http://www.aiseesoft.com/blu-ray-creator/ tells:
"Multiple video editing features".
Therefore it even seems to be useful for people like David who simply wants to play their files on tv because you may crop your file before.

Apparently cutting is not available according to screenshots on
http://www.aiseesoft.com/blu-ray-creator/screen.html
That a function I'm missing dearly!!!!!
Other editing functions are watermark and manipulation of brightness, contrast, saturation and hue. That's it.

I don't remember any other blue-ray creator given away here. If you intend to buy a recorder or have got one you should give it a try in spite of low version.

..,and since almost every current $40 DVD player automatically upgrades pictures to High Definition watching, why do we need to go to the trouble to make a BluRay-DVD that only BluRay payers can handle?

Someone educate me.

As this is a field I have some experience in, the primary reason for Blu Ray is High Definition video. A common misconception is that DVDs contain High Definition video. None do. So called "upscaling" is a cheat, and not the same.

Secondly, if you have standard definition video, you can put much more on a Blu Ray disc, than on a DVDR. BDR discs are about five times the capacity, and use better methods of compression.

Yes, you need not only a Blu Ray burner, you need blank BDR discs. Both were very expensive when Blu Ray was introduced. Nowdays, you don't spend much more than you would for a DVD burner and blank discs.

when you get this nice app be sure to go to tools, preferences and uncheck update automatic weekly or you will lose this nice app. Gaotd do not update nor offer support.

On Win7 64-bit, it installed fine, registered easily, and launches without difficulties. The help is informative.

If you have a Blu-ray burner, I think this is a good product to have in your arsenal of tools. Thank you to GotD and Aiseesoft.

Can the video be put on a usb thumb drive and plugged directly into a "smart TV" instead of using a blue ray disc?

@aba: I believe you'll need a blu-ray burner drive installed, or you cold use an external USB blu-ray burner drive. You'll need blu-ray blank discs too - available in 25GB and 50GB.

@Andrea: We like to share family videos and slideshows with our relatives. I used to make DVDs, but now that I have a HD camcorder and most people have blu-ray players and HD TVs in their living rooms, I can create blu-ray discs instead. I'm looking forward to testing this out.

@4 one might jump to the wrong conclusion that someone who can write can also read. Maybe have somebody read the description of the software to you...
"With this Blu-ray Creator software, you can easily make you own Blu-ray movies and play them on PS3, Sony BDP-S5, Samsung BD-F, LG Electronics BP, and many other Blu-ray players. "

Well & good.
But where do you burn the Disc?? With the normal CD/DVD burner????

Looks good but what's the purpose of a tool like this?

I mean why one should burn a video file in blu-ray format?

I got their Newsletter when they released their blu-ray creator, but I did not purchase it at that time. I think they will promote it on giveawayoftheday.com because they always do so. Yes, I made the right decision. Got the software active and can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
