Pour ceux qui disposent d'un lecteur bluray et de l'écran qui va avec, les développeurs du x264 ont publié aujourd'hui un bluray de démonstration encodé avec le x264 et suivant strictement la norme bluray.
C'est la première étape avant la publication du x264 sous une double licence permettant de faciliter un usage commercial du x264 pour encoder des bluray et peut-être les premiers bluray commerciaux encodés avec le x264. [Edit : mais le x264 restera toujours libre et gratuit, on parle ici de double licence !]
Je serais assez curieux de savoir si premièrement l'image fournie est bien fonctionnelle chez vous et également d'avoir votre avis sur la qualité.
Le message original posté sur Doom9 :
Edit : L'annonce officiel sur le blog de Dark Shikari : Announcing the first free software Blu-ray encoder.Dark Shikari a écrit :To celebrate and announce x264's official Blu-ray encoding support, we are releasing a demo Blu-ray disk containing entirely free content, encoded in crystal-clear HD.
Before I make the official announcement, I'd like at least some testing of it on actual Blu-ray players. This thread is for posting results/testing information.
Some information from the upcoming official announcement:
Download it now! And remember to seed!On this Blu-ray are the Open Movie Project films Big Buck Bunny and Elephant's Dream, available under a Creative Commons license. Additionally, Microsoft has graciously provided about 6 minutes of lossless HD video and audio (from part of a documentary project) under a very liberal license. This footage rounds out the Blu-ray by adding some difficult live-action content in addition to the relatively compressible CGI footage from the Open Movie Project.
You may notice that the Blu-ray image is only just over 2GB. This is intentional; we have encoded all the content on the disk at appropriate bitrates to be playable from an ordinary 4.7GB DVD. This should make it far easier to burn a copy of the Blu-ray, since Blu-ray burners and writable media are still relatively rare. Most Blu-ray players will treat a DVD containing Blu-ray data as a normal Blu-ray disc. A few, such as the Playstation 3, will not, but you can still play it as a data disc.
Finally, note that (in accordance with the Blu-ray spec) the disc image file uses the UDF 2.5 filesystem, which may be incompatible with some older virtual drive and DVD burning applications.
