-
- In
the first lesson you will learn how to analyze your source video,
ensuring AviSynth will be able to decode it properly, and also formulate
a plan for making any changes which may be required. In most cases this
will also involve creating an index, which is a sort of map to the
contents of a video.
-
- In
the second lesson you will learn to use MeGUI's AVS Script Creator tool
to provide instructions for loading your source video and performing
any required processing. This may include resizing video to the desired
resolution and either deinterlacing or bobbing interlaced video to make
it progressive.
-
- In
lesson three you wil learn how to create a file specifying chapter
points and calculate the correct bitrate for your encoded video.
-
- In lesson four you will learn about the proper settings for encoding your video.
-
- In
lesson five you will learn how to encode your audio to AC-3 format
using MeGUI and either the Aften encoder or FFmpeg. When you complete
this step you will have Blu-ray compliant audio files.
Lesson 6 - Advanced Bitrate Calculation
- In
lesson six you will learn more advanced techniques for calculating
bitrate when you are authoring a Blu-ray disc from multiple video files.
-
- In
this lesson you will learn how to use Audacity to combine individual
audio files to produce either an uncompressed (LPCM) or Dolby Digital
(AC-3) audio stream
-
- In
Lesson 9 you will become familiar with the process of converting
subitles from the text-based SRT, SSA, and ASS formats to Blu-ray
compliant SUP or BDN XML format.
-
- After
completing Lesson 10 you should be able to create a single frame video
file for use as the background for a Blu-ray still menu. You will also
be able to extract a video frame as a regular still image file (such as a
PNG or JPEG) and how to convert those common files into single frame,
Blu-ray compliant video streams.
-
- This
lesson will teach you the basics of making your own buttons for Blu-ray
menus using the free image editor GIMP. It also includes tips on how to
add elements necessary for a functional Blu-ray menu to a still image
and assemble a mockup so you know what your menu will look like before
you start the authoring process.
