BD-J Converter

A: It will differ project-to-project, but consider the following: If you are just getting started with BD-J development, you will be considering the follow:

• developing your own framework
• hand coding each animation
• optimizing the performance for Profiles 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0
• checking the compatibility of your code on the large number of available BD Players

This is a large startup cost. BD-J Converter comes with an optimized, compatibility checked run-time library, and it allows the animations to be created quickly and efficiently using Adobe Flash. Many, many hours of work can be saved on every project that you undertake.

A: Yes. The "rules" for creating Flash movies are not particularly onerous, however. They are described in detail in the manual "Creating Flash movies for BD-J Converter". In a nutshell:

• Your animation must be placed inside a movie clip which must be placed in the first frame on the timeline
• The Flash movie must be 30fps, 72dpi
• Sounds and ActionScript are not supported
• Filter effects and rotation are not supported on movie clips (but they are on shapes and graphic objects)

A: No. BD-J Converter only supports BD-J.

A: BD-J Converter exports image mosaics in PNG-24 format. The PNG-24's can easily be batch processed to JPEGs using Adobe^® Photoshop^® or a similar graphic conversion utility.
