13. DoStudio BD J Menu nA You will notice that when you jump playback from one playlist to the next there is a delay and often the screen will go black This is normal due to a provision in the Blu ray Disc specification that requires the Blu ray Disc player to stop any time the disc changes playlists The actual delay will vary from player to player but it is normal for the player to pause for roughly two seconds gt ts t ts e gt t Blu b P gt gt gt vi va Blu ray Disc titles By default your project will have one Blu ray Disc title called the DoStudio BD J Menu title All of your playlists are contained in this title and the BD J menu is active across all of the playlists You can see the playlists represented visually in the title timeline The Blu ray Disc titles node in the Playlist tree is where you set up your loading screen This allows you to define what graphic is displayed on screen while the player loads the BD J into memory The amount of time this loading screen is displayed on screen depends upon the speed and quality of the Blu ray Disc player and the amount of graphics you have included in your menus You can position playlists before the loading screen if you desire These playlists will play before the BD menu loads into the player s memory This can be useful for displaying warnings logos or trailers The playlist directly to the right of the Loading Screen in the

When you are ready to format your disc for replication DoStudio Authoring will not create the ISO and will do the same steps as a 2D disc For more information see Formatting your Blu ray Disc for replication on page 67 3D metadata offset file do3d The do3d ASCII text file is used to position subtitles on the screen Subtitles can appear at a fixed 3D depth or they can move in 3D space as the video plays Each line is treated as separate input line Blank lines are allowed and comments are allowed at the START of the line by using the pound key The do3d text file is based on a sequence of depth offsets for duration of frames as seen below 90 frames Jlo World a pa Hello World Offset of 3 Offset of 20 Offset of 3 For every duration of frames DOF there must be the same number of offset sequences NOS In the preceding example there are 3 offsets This means that it is important to group the various changes in depth into equal numbers For example if we have a 2 minute 24 fps video and there are 100 different offset depth values we can group the offsets into 10 NOS every 288 frames 120 seconds x 24 frames per second 100 288 frames Each NOS is a positive or negative number indicated by or without a space between the number For example 1 would move a subtitle in front of screen depth and 3 would move a subtitle behind screen depth The do3d file doesn t include any information that po
15. creating buttons for DVD menus There is no overlay layer such as you are accustomed to using in DVD authoring You or your menu designer must create three separate images for a button Each image corresponds to an image state Your menu designer will be pleased with this new capability because he or she will no longer be limited to a simple 8 bit graphic overlay With DoStudio Authoring they can create full 32 bit graphics that appear for each image state DoStudio Authoring can import all of these graphics directly from a layered PSD file CHAPTER 2 The image buffer A new concept for DVD authors is managing the image buffer for the graphics you include in menus In DoStudio Authoring this includes your pop up menus and your First Play image DoStudio Authoring creates all of the pop up menus as BD J Blu ray Disc Java so you can use 32 bit graphics The image buffer size varies depending on the profile of the Blu ray Disc player BD J allows a maximum graphics buffer size of 45 5 MB for profile 1 0 1 1 players and 61 5 MB for profile 2 0 players These numbers are misleading however because you cannot cram 45 5 MB of graphics into the buffer and expect your disc to function properly on many Blu ray Disc players due to the overhead of processing the graphics We have found though extensive testing that all players can handle 32 5 MB of graphics buffer and DoStudio Authoring limits you to 32 5 MB so that your discs will play successful

127. ly on all players When you compile your project or run the validation in the Control Panel DoStudio Authoring calculates the total file size for each menu element and warns you if you have exceeded the 32 5 MB limit How is the image buffer size calculated The size of the image buffer is based the fact that each pixel in an image uses 4 bytes of memory This is because every pixel uses four colors red green blue and an alpha channel to determine the color and transparency of the image The equation for calculating the image buffer size is as follows Width x Height x 4 number of bytes For example an image that is 1920x128 image takes up 124 KB of space 1920 x 128 x 4 124 000 bytes Tips for managing the image buffer size Do not create images with a lot of extra transparencies around the actual image Even a transparent pixel takes memory Create a small first play image such as the text loading Reuse a background image for all sets by placing the background image on the menu block instead of on each set Remove any images for the selected and activated state that are not being used Keep in mind a wide image that is applied to a set can be used to remove a lot of extra pixels from memory Keep in mind an image that is 512 pixels by 256 pixels will take up 1 MB of image memory a Design your menu using rectangles and keep track of a rough estimate of how many bytes each rectangle will use Remember buttons
