We are happy to guide you through the process of creating Blu-ray discs with us

Planning your project

Talk to 24-7 during the planning stages to discuss what features of the Blu-ray format would benefit your project. Blu-ray has many new features and many in development and we can advise on which might benefit your content and audience.

Lay out the menu structure in a flow chart, noting any features that are to be used such as subtitles, multiple audio tracks or pop up menus.

Make a list of the video assets to be included in the project including information on their running time and any chapter points and the time codes of the chapter points. Submit this with your tapes or hard drive.
