Express Authoring
Burn Directly to a Blu-ray Disc
Accelcoder X adds the Express Authoring function enabling the 2D or 3D output data to be written directly to a
Blu-ray disc without authoring software.
3D Express Authoring is only available with the 3D version.
For studios that use BD during the intermediate stages of the post-production process (previews, promotional materials), the current work-flow requires both encoding and authoring Blu-ray Discs, requiring technical resources and time. Accelcoder X cuts out the middleman, and burns directly to a BD without the need for third party software.
The Express Authoring function encodes the input movie, and converts to a data format that can be written to a Blu-ray disc.
Features such as movie editing, adding a title or menu are not included, and BD-J is not supported.

Applications
- Dailies and Preview
- During intermediate stages in the post-production process, Accelcoder X can author 2D/3D Blu-ray discs enabling playback without sacrificing video quality. This is a powerful tool for studios because they can provide Blu-ray discs as feedback to clients, improving the quality of service and the customer experience.
- Promotion
- Promotional videos, such as trailers and commercials, can be distributed in Blu-ray format.This allows the content to be delivered to the client without sacrificing high-resolution and the integrity of the original assets.
Work-flow
- Typical Process for creating a 3D Blu-ray:
- A typical procedure for creating a 3D Blu-ray disc requires the following steps: First, the asset files for left and right eyes are encoded. The results are then written out to two separate files, one for each eye, and then these files are opened with a Blu-ray authoring program, where an ISO image is created. That ISO is then written to BD using a third piece of software.
- Using Accelcoder X
- Accelcoder X's express authoring feature significantly simplifies the process. The asset files for the left and right eyes are read, encoded, and then written directly to disc.
