x264's Blu-ray encoding support coming



To celebrate and announce x264's official Blu-ray encoding support, we are releasing a demo Blu-ray disk containing entirely free content, encoded in crystal-clear HD.

Before I make the official announcement, I'd like at least some testing of it on actual Blu-ray players. This thread is for posting results/testing information.

Some information from the upcoming official announcement:

On this Blu-ray are the Open Movie Project films Big Buck Bunny and Elephant's Dream, available under a Creative Commons license. Additionally, Microsoft has graciously provided about 6 minutes of lossless HD video and audio (from part of a documentary project) under a very liberal license. This footage rounds out the Blu-ray by adding some difficult live-action content in addition to the relatively compressible CGI footage from the Open Movie Project.

You may notice that the Blu-ray image is only just over 2GB. This is intentional; we have encoded all the content on the disk at appropriate bitrates to be playable from an ordinary 4.7GB DVD. This should make it far easier to burn a copy of the Blu-ray, since Blu-ray burners and writable media are still relatively rare. Most Blu-ray players will treat a DVD containing Blu-ray data as a normal Blu-ray disc. A few, such as the Playstation 3, will not, but you can still play it as a data disc.

Finally, note that (in accordance with the Blu-ray spec) the disc image file uses the UDF 2.5 filesystem, which may be incompatible with some older virtual drive and DVD burning applications.
