My new computer is up and running. But, I will have to replace the VGA cable with a DVI cable for Blu-Ray playback. The Blu-Ray player software cannot verify licensing of Blu-Ray discs without a digital cable and VGA is analog. But, the new computer is a rocket compared to my old stuff.
I loaded in my new store copies of Adobe Premiere, PhotoShop, Cisco Network Magic (to put it on my network), PowerDVD suite, and Nero Suite. Everyone seems to be using a new system for keycodes on the Internet to validate new software on computers. Adobe, PowerDVD, and Nero are all the same now.
So far, I tried to play a Blu-Ray movie, but cannot until I can get a DVI cable. And, Nero is burning the first Blu-Ray H264 version of I, Creator 2 - GOTH. I wanted to try with PowerDVD, but their software only authors DVDs. And the defaults are a 4:3 screen for NTSC. It can be changed over to a 16:9 screen. But, no HD or Blu-Ray authoring support. It's a good thing I was able to get Nero as well. The Nero interface is similar to its' older versions, with easy to find menus and options.
Over the next year or two, I hope to be adding more software to this system as I've said before with the latest versions of Sony Vegas and AVID Media Creator with Protools. If it is possible, I will even look into specialty Vfx packages and plug-ins for science fiction productions because they are out there offering broadcast quality effects.
The Bu-Ray HD files are rendering as fast as my Dual Core Laptop can render NTSC files for standard DVDs. So, the new computer is impressive.
I will playback the disc on my Blu-Ray player with my TV set for the time being.
But, I hope my testimony on PowerDVD and Nero for Blu-Ray is helpful to other members here.
