this properties are only available for regular DVD, not Bluray

Check with the facility that's doing the discs... My understanding, FWIW, is that originally when DVD was young, the only way to get your work to the facility was on tape - you couldn't pick up blank discs & burners from the local BestBuy. Everything at the dup house producing your discs was set up around that tape delivery, & apparently quite a few never updated to current technology. With BD there's nothing ancient to inherit & not update, so probably be better off just asking them how they prefer to receive your data.

already been down this road with dvds5. In its current state, dvds5 does not prepare authored files for masters to replication houses. In order to replicate Blu-ray you need a security key that is flagged during authoring and completed during replication. The Blu-ray association regulates this stuff and make it very difficult for newcommers like us. Also mastered Blu-ray files are for replication are not yet producable by dvda5. All of this being said, there are only three pieces of software that can author this those files and bluprint is one at $50 grand. There is another that is subscription based at about $2,000. Per year but as for the security key functions, you have to apply for a liscense (very expensive) and if you are approved each title authored has to be assigned a different key at close to $2,000 per. Anywho, you can author one offs till the cows come home but no replication house will touch it. Before all the negative horn blowers chime in, none of the competition can either. Hopefully soon we will be able to offer these services. I just dealt with this two weeks ago. Sorry for the news.

Which solution have you chosen - if I may ask? The subscription based? I talked to them a few weeks age and they said they had no replication history for projects authored with their software at that time.
As far as I know, the key issue is that the software should be able to create a Blu-ray CMF Image.

well I ended up passing on the project. A Blu-ray for the band war. Pitty. I was going to go with the subscription based as it was the only option that even be close to my budget but the thought of having to learn a new software and immediately have a world wide release sounded risky. Also if you read the website, it seems to imply that you need other software to make it all play together correctly. After researching it I can say it seems to be able to author correctly for replication. From what I understand of the future of Blu-ray authoring is that some houses will eventually offer extract and replicate from a standard authored blu-ray disc ie like dvda5. Also on a side note rhyno seemed to me to be the one covering the cost of the security key we just need to be able to flag the files during authoring for it to be added during replication. All of this being said we are still at the begining of this technology. And this only be rhynos second blu-ray release. I feel it is time to hang tight and by next dvda we should be able to offer these services. If you venture down this long winding road please keep me updated as will I to all of you.

Have you given a try to DVDit HD Pro? Sonic boasts it can export BD project to the CMF format for replication. I doubt it is really so 'cos they never state the CMF version, which should be 0.9 or higher...

Well I haven't but even if they can, I am certain they cannot flag for the security key so that alone would make it not acceptable to a replication house.
