They broke it.
I used to use Nero Video to author BluRays. The menus it creates are kind of ugly and can't be made better without paying
extra money, and the software seemed to bloat my videos up to where they filled a disc rather quickly (but it had "Fit to
disc"), and the software made me do some things that didn't seem necessary, but oh well, it worked.
Until I downloaded an update. Now, the "Fit to disc" no longer works. They appear to have hard-coded a number of bytes
that should fit on a BluRay, and use that instead of the actual size of my legitimate BluRay media. You can ask for the
"Fit to disc" and watch the software happily transcode for hours, and then die when it finally notices the size of the
disc in the burner, as it's about to do a burn. I reported this to Nero - crickets.
Given how a 5Gb mp4 video seems to expand to 15Gb on a BluRay, "Fit to disc" was the only way to get a reasonable amount
of content onto a disc, but that's now utterly broken because some wag made a bad software decision. It's useless now.
I'll still use other parts to burn regular files to disc, but I have no good way to author. |
