BBFC guidelines means we would have to pay an additional fee as the "play all song option" constitute a separate video programme. Since our budget for the blu-ray is tight I feel it would be better to spend that money on the main feature film quality.

Next year I plan to move all our Blu-ray operations onto a BD-JAVA (BD+) platform...which will allow you to create the playlist yourself - and thus bypassing the BBFC rule (without breaking it).


Is there not a way to add such a menu and have the buttons reference the songs in the main feature rather than re-encoding them as a separate video programme? And does this mean that UK DVD producers would have to pay an additional fee for every extra (making-of, deleted scenes, etc.) on a disc?


We don't encode them as a separate video programme, but we do chapter point them on the main feature.

In UK we have to pay addtional fee for every extra.

I understand why in the absence of BD-JAVA (BD+) you do not want to opt for the 'Play All' option considering the added expense involved. But I don't understand why you could not atleast have a separate 'Songs menu' just like you do for 'Chapters'. Specially since, as you stated, you already have the songs 'chapter marked'. Is there something that I am missing here?

Thanks for this interesting tid-bit. Seems rather silly and very Indian bureaucracy like. Ah.. but then again, Indian bureaucracy is a legacy of the British.

Thanks again for this info. I always wondered why Indian authoring companies always resorted to the rather silly and redundant method of a 'separate video stream' for the 'play all' option. This would explain it, since no Indian authoring company, atleast that I know of, has yet employed BD-JAVA (BD+). Which brings me to another interesting question, which I hope you can help answer. This is in reference to a few BDs authored by 'Digital Entertainment', the last one being 'Wake Up Sid (BIG)', that have issues playing on 'Region A' PS3s. Since Digital Entertainment is not using BD-JAVA or any advanced features on their authored blu-rays, why would such incompatibilty issues arise, that to now when the format is well into it's fourth year and is fully matured.

The blu-ray of Raavanan is nearly ready. Just waiting for BBFC certification.

Meanwhile, here is a pending cover art - on the reserve side of the inlay - which I've done.

The front side of the inlay will be designed by Ayngaran India.

Sadly, this one is not going to be under a xmas tree.

I still need to do a QC process before we replicate for a new year release.

I want to make sure quality will be the best possible - we are using the director approved LUT/DPX 4K files

Paiya was first released on adchaya
then ayngaran got the rights some how and then Bluray for Paiya was also released by Ayngaran
will like this happen with Vinnaithandi Varuvaya

who asked angadi theru bluray and all
Ayngaran must have got rights for Vinnaithandi varuvaya

Vinnaithandi Varuvaya is better than all the movies of Ayngaran's Bluray's

Really sad and upset

Who asked Villu bluray and all
Ayngaran must have got rights for Vinnaithandi Varuvaya and must released this bluray as their Best Bluray

ayngaran is producer of those movies. VTV might be dumped. Telugu has more blurays and in tamil only a single player "AYNGARAN". Its Monopoly
