BDCMF Image Creation
BDCMF image files are essential if you plan to replicate Blu-ray discs at a manufacturing facility. We can create these image files for you – at a competitive rate – as part of our full authoring service. Alternatively, you can provide us with a completed disc image (ISO) or build folders (BDMV and Certificate) which we will convert to BDCMF. (Please note that ISO is our preferred format to work with as it contains crucial layout information). Contact us for details.
Subtitling
Post Manchester frequently author subtitled DVDs and Blu-ray discs using each of the formats’ inherent subtitling capabilities. These capabilities allow for multi-lingual subtitles to be programmed on to each disc. It takes approximately 30 minutes to subtitle 1 minute of programme time, however, we do not charge for dubs used in the subtitling process. Also, if you can supply a completed .srt file, this can be imported into the DVD or Blu-ray project and adapted at minimal cost.
