Sony's own Blu-Print software is now available for the low, low price of $50,000 per license (there's also a 30-day free trial available if you really need a test-run first). Unfortunately they didn't note which codecs are available yet, but you can use the software to add all the BD-J interactive features and popup menus you could ever want. The software is Windows-only, and we're sure if spending $750 to $1000 or more on the necessary burner makes sense to you that this package is well with your price range.

With the potential to make millions on a DVD release, $50000 for software isn't an issue.
I'm sure when Sony releases a Vegas level authoring software it will be much less than$50000.
When DVD-R came out I purchased Video Pack authoring software for $499. Burners were $800. It was crap software, and now they have decent software for $100 - $300.I don't have a bad attitude...

My first DVD player was around $500. It had no record capability and could not play burnt media of any type.

I think it's great. Yes, I know that this price is for the studios, who have this kind of money. This kind of price will keep consumers out of the market and perhaps hasten the end of BluRay. I really feel that HD-DVD is really close to being able to be declared the winner in the format wars and anything that brings this battle to an end and gives us a clear winner is OK with me.

When DVDs first came out I seem to remember SL discs that were author-only discs and were more expensive then the general purpose ones?

But the DVD format had already become sucessful long b4 burning became an option to the general public. The two HD formats are in a different position at the outset than DVD was.
My opinion is that the DVD was sucessful partly due to their availablity as rentals (in addition to PQ and convenience over VHS), but not due to any ability to record.I don't have a bad attitude...
