Rivergate Software Inc. - makers of DVDAfterEdit

Welcome to the new HD forum.

Please post here about HD issues you find interesting. To kick things off, Michael said:

And, as far as Advanced Content goes...just so you know, I think I'm more of a BD-J kind of guy. ;-)

To which my immediate reply was - I'm very jealous that you have access to the BD-J toolset ! :-)

Or... am I ? I read this yesterday:

- which I found very interesting. I'm always suspicious of partisan comments like this, but I did think that most of it seemed to be fair enough - or, is it the desperation of a company whose format is failing ?

There's lots of spin-doctoring out there, but I'd really like to hear "real-world" feedback from our users who have personal experience they would like to share. So, for example, my experiments with HD DVD Advanced Content show that it's seductively cheap and simple to get started, but a great deal more difficult to get something pressed ( which is one reason why I see a need for HD support in DVDAE, btw. )

BD-J on the other hand, currently has no tools available at all short of Scenarist - and, from all that I hear, the more advanced stuff still isn't "there" yet anyway.

Really interested to hear people's thoughts and experiences !

Cheers,

Ian
