NAB 2009 Wrapup Discussion

So we wrapped our video coverage of NAB 2009 back in April, but there was one remaining segment we haven’t posted yet. On the last day of the Expo, we took a walk around the Central Hall as four cameras (three on Steadicam rigs) circled like HD vultures. The idea was to capture a discussion that wrapped up the show, all while showing the event space as we strolled around booths and products. We initially had pitched the idea to Patrick of Stillmotion, he rounded up a few other Steadicam shooters and expanded on the idea creatively…

Petition:  Apple, give us Blu-ray support in DVD Studio Pro!

Apple’s opinions on Blu-ray have been well documented and even their general thoughts on regular DVDs isn’t all that strong these days. But no matter what Steve Jobs believes, out in the real world DVDs are still very popular and a lot of people do want Blu-ray options on their Macintosh and Blu-ray authoring in DVD Studio Pro. Adobe has added affordable Blu-ray support in Encore but that’s not as affordable as it being added into something you already own - DVD Studio Pro.

A Tweet began circulating this morning to sign an online petition called Apple, give us Blu-ray support in DVD Studio Pro! Who knows if Apple will listen but it doesn’t cost anything to sign. When you do sign the petition it asks for you to set up an account or sign in with Twitter. I didn’t do either, just supplied my name and my junk email, and it took my signature, creating a new account for me. The goal is 10,000 and it’s only at 24 at the time of this writing so please sign up and send the message to Apple that we want Blu-ray in DVD Studio Pro ... and by that we would get Blu-ray support on the Mac OS as well an upgrade to DVD Studio Pro!

If you read my NAB 2009 wrap-up in Firefox…

Just a quick update: I had some HTML comment lines in my NAB 2009 Wrap-up article. They caused Firefox (but not Safari or IE) to redact the sections on Storage, JVC, and Sony.

I’ve removed the comments and now Firefox sees the whole article. You may need to refresh those pages if you have ‘em in cache.
