Wanna make my own blurays, idk what software people use. I used to use dvdfab for dvds but my files are bluray mkvs so I imagine dvdfab would reduce the quality. Would like ones I make to work on real players. The printing side of it I already have figured out
The term you’re looking for is “bluray authoring”.
Search for that. Industry tends to use Scenarist but it would be too expensive for an individual and they probably wouldn’t sell to you anyways. There are semi-pro tools, most paid, some hundreds of Euros.
Edit: here’s a list of some of the better ones with prices: https://www.videohelp.com/software/sections/authoring-bd-hd-dvd
So I could just pirate one of these right? Then price wouldn't even matter
if this isnt a troll, then you are one of a dying (pretty much never existed) breed
burning dvds or copying vhs tapes made sense years ago bc you needed a converter to plug your computer into a tv, and the quality was iffy. now most machines and tvs are compatible with hdmi, so going from digital to physical is like printing a mapquest route and taking a picture of it with your phone
edit: sorry i didnt provide a soln
Why would I be trolling.Plenty of people still collect physical media
i get it, i collect them too. but only retail releases. no way to control the quality if the source isnt authoritative.
to me, if youre 1-to-1 copying a retail blu ray, then authoring isnt required. if youre ripping it and compressing it (losslessly or otherwise), keep it on a nas for easier access. but if youre downloading a movie from the web and burning it, i dont see the point, since its already been compressed most likely, or at least you cant be sure its a great copy. especially with the audio side.
i knew a guy who used to make full backups of redbox blu rays for archive purposes. that made sense to me.
as to why might you be trolling, well, this is the kind of troll post id make haha
There really isn't any good software for making your own custom Blu-rays.
If you don't care about menus and just want to put your .mkv on a Blu-ray disc, then you can use tsMuxeR to convert your .mkv file into a Blu-ray compliant ISO or BDMV folder structure.
Keep in mind you'll need to use the proper video and audio codecs if you want it to properly turn your video file into an ISO - it's recommended you use AVC/H.264 for video and AC3 (lossy) or TrueHD (lossless) for audio.
So I could just have say a show as 20 mkv files all start one after another and could skip around if I had to?
I believe so. I haven't tried that, but I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work.
If anything you can just combine them all into a single .mkv.
