Unfortunately, due to the format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray, the video production world has been waiting for a solution to deliver HD content to their clients, and fit the technology into their workflow the way DVD Studio Pro has integrated with Final Cut Pro, DVD Architect with Vegas, and Encore DVD with Premiere Pro. And in the absence of HD DVD burners up to this point, most of us are waiting for an answer from the Blu-ray side.

It appears the wait may be over, with software giant Adobe selecting Blu-ray as their format choice for delivery of HD video in the new CS3 version of Encore, which debuts in July with the release of Adobe CS3 Production Premium. Here’s a quick walkthrough of Blu-ray Disc workflow in Encore CS3.

I am surprised that no one has responded to Adobe doing Blu-ray. This excites me as I do a bit of home movie editing for DVDs (but doesn't everybody these days?) This seems to be a big deal too.

Have Encore CS3 loaded. Won't go past the splash screen for some reason. Sure there is a fix somewhere.

This is cool tho.

FYI - Avid has had Blu-ray output from Avid DVD (an OEM version of DVDit Pro HD) since December.

If you are not an Avid user, and you have any Sonic/Roxio software on your computer, you can upgrade/crossgrade to DVDit Pro HD for $199 in the Sonic upgrade center.
