Author high-definition movies on Blu-ray Disc™ as easily as authoring DVDs, with DVD Architect Pro 5 software. DVD Architect Pro 5 software enables independent producers and videographers to author both a standard-definition DVD and a high-definition Blu-ray disc, complete with full motion buttons, motion menus, scene selection menus, subtitles, and alternate video and audio tracks. With DVD Architect Pro 5 software you can author a project once and either burn it to Blu-ray Disc or to a standard-definition DVD.

With Vegas Pro 8 software you can burn a Blu-ray Disc directly from the timeline. Blu-ray Disc burning allows you to create a disc similar to a "single movie" DVD — the movie has no titles, menus, or buttons. Blu-ray Disc burning in Vegas Pro 8 software provides an alternate distribution option for high-definition content, rather than traditional file-based hard disk or streaming media formats. You can also use the Blu-ray Disc burning feature to create high-definition discs that can playback on a set-top Blu-ray Disc player or on a Sony PS3 gaming system.

Use DVD Architect Pro 5 software to burn a BDMV high-definition title to standard DVD media. (Requires a Blu-ray player that supports BDMV on DVD).
