NetBlender has just released its easy to use ‘DoStudio BD Authoring Edition’ software for Blu-ray. It provides Blu-ray authors easy-to-learn, GUI based solution for creating professional Blu-ray discs. Among the features are a point-and-click professional interface with pop-up menus, picture-in-picture and and even templated BD-Live features. Since Blu-ray is fairly new, it’s good to see companies making an authoring tool that’s easy to use.
NetBlender and Blufocus have joined forces to develop, implement, and certify BD Touch Technology for the Blu-ray industry. BD Touch was developed by NetBlender and brings together Apple’s iPhone/iPod Touch and Blu-ray’s BD Live to form a combination that allows users to transfer digital copies to the their iPhones from Blu-ray discs or use the iPhone as a remote control for Blu-ray games. The video above shows BD Touch in use. Blufocus has developed Blu-ray interactive features and have advanced testing and certification methods in place. John Harrington, NetBlender CEO, believes that both companies ‘offer the Blu-ray industry and and unparalleled BD-Live solution’.
