Developping BD structure

[Albiréo]

Hello,
For my pleasure and my knowledge about this, I want to program (in C or in Java, I don't know) a little software to make the structure of a Blu Ray disk.

Not a big soft with lots of options : a little with the movies as in and a static DB menu as out.

Where can I find technical decriptions of the DB structure ? I tried Google : there are only softwares, not explanations.

Thanks !

Did you look at this page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Directory_and_file_structure

The footnotes give more detailed reference documents.

Thank you for your answer !

I'll search for the contains of the clpi, mlps and other files to put in the right things...

you could simply use tsMuxer to create the BD structure, or take it's output as a base to understand the structure better,...
(btw. "Blu-ray Disc Demystified" would be a good book to read regarding Blu-ray and it's options)

While BD Demystified will help a good deal, you're still going about this the wrong way.

Authored consumer titles (whether AudioCD, SACD, VCD, SVCD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, HD-DVD or BD) are much more complex than simple container files in a folder on a disc. They have structures within structures. And not all of it is abstracted/logical structures, some is concrete/physical structures. Meaning things often have to be in an exact order, both within files and in sector order burned on the disc.

You need a "roadmap" to find where you want to go. You also need a "guidebook/index" to help you read and understand the roadmap.

Thank you for you answers !

I thought about analysing the DB ouput of TsMuxeR but it seems to be very hard to undestand.

I effectively need a road map or ways and a long time and long readings to get informations and begin programming.

I'll try that !

If you have more informations or readings, I'll take them !

Thanks !
