Well I thought I would try to make my first blu-ray movie from some home movies
instead of down converting them to DVD like I have been... Only to find out not
only is it currently laborious process, it's actually technically impossible for
FOSS.
The laborious part is trying to get it into the right format (x264 with very
specific settings and separate audio file), but even if you manage that part,
there's no UDF 2.5 write support in linux. If you're lucky, you BD player may
not care.
No problem, I'll worry about that later, I'll just burn a backup of my pictures
that were getting to hard to backup on DVD's....
Put in disc... Check!
Detected in Brasero... Check!
"copy" into new data project... Check!
BURN!
ejects immediately with no helpful error message...
... skip some time spent googling only to get really mad about the whole cdrkit
vs. cdrtools debacle...
... skip spending time getting cdrtools 3.01 to build ...
Don't know what issues you have building, it always built flawlessly for me, and
installed in /opt/schily/{bin,lib,man,etc}. Add /opt/schily/bin to the *FRONT*
of PATH, MANPATH, and you are good to go, replaces the stuff Fedora includes
which makes a lot of it start working better.
I'm still working on getting the kinks out of that... conflicts with several
cdrkit packages (genisoimage, wodim, icedax)
Icedax? Never tried it, too many alternate way to do that.
Ok! Last resort, do it the PITA way...
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/bdimage.udf bs=2048 count=12219392
$ mkudffs bdimage.udf
# sudo mount -t udf -o loop bdimage /mnt/disc
currently copying files into the image file... HOPEFULLY brasero will at least
burn the image...
The loop mount stuff is a good way to go, you can keep an image fresh and just
burn it when you need a current copy.
