NetBlender Blu-ray Survey


Posted March 31, 2008 02:25 PM by Josh Dreuth

Blu-ray.com NetBlender, who recently announced Blu-ray support for their popular DoStudio line of disc authoring solutions, will be presenting information regarding Blu-ray Disc special features during the Advanced Interactivity session at NAB Show 2008 in Las Vegas. In order to help collect data regarding consumer preference, NetBlender asked us to poll our users about possible future Blu-ray special features.

The results will be ultimately presented to the DVDA, a nonprofit organization focused on the development of the DVD format, who are now taking an interest in the development of Blu-ray. The BD-Java spec in Blu-ray allows for very elaborate and interactive features to be built into titles during development.

We ask that all readers of this website and all forum users take a minute of your time to answer the six polls as honestly as possible. The information you provide will ultimately have a direct effect on the way Blu-ray titles are authored in the future.

Well.... so far from the poll results we want a little bit of customization, a little bit of solicitation, but
for the most part the average we just want to skip the ads, and menus and just start the darn movie.

Yes, I hope the studios really read this. SKIP THE ADS, SKIP THE MENU and JUST START THE DARNED MOVIE.

That's exactly what I want. Loose the bloody mandatory extra junk please !!!

I disagree about the going to the movie staright on because thats what turns me off about Warner Brothers movies because its like the movie is starting but i want to choose the audio i want but it wont let me until the movie has already begun. and then it sounds weird with it going from soft audio to big audio. thats the biggest waste of time feature that ill gladly want to go away. im not saying for having ads to show up i just mean go directly to the main menu like how skateboarding dvds do

I'd like to be able to skip the Ad/trailers and go the MAIN MENU.

I mean you've got to choose the right settings for the movie and all that other stuff before you start watching. And I like to get comfy and get some grub before I plop down and watch a movie.

So I would never want to put in a bluray disc and have it just start playing immediately. That would be dumb.

Done. Hope that helps. Some great ideas in there, I just hope they improve over time as studios get
used to BD-J.

I never really understood load times being a big issue.
If I'm going to watch a 2.5+ hour long movie, it doesn't seem like knocking 2 seconds off a 4 second load time would be a big plus to me. Or am I missing some big point?

I completely agree with you moonphase, i like to choose my set up audio etc. before the movie begins....

^Same. I like putting on the movie and letting the previews run knowing it'll stop at the menu while I'm off making food or whatever. I hate it when the movie starts by itself.

I love everything about blu-ray but the thing I liked more about hddvd is the menues they were
all the same but for blu-ray it is just like a DVD menu
