Blog:How To Make A Good DVD & Blu-ray Release


 * 1) First and foremost, always be creative in terms of disc art, by obeying these guidelines:
 * 2) * Add a nice picture in full colour on a white flood. Skipping the white flood is optional for 1 reason: to give the disc a nice shine.
 * 3) ** Plus, what's really more preferable than silk screening, is offset printing since it gives a nice smooth semi-glossy feel, especially in comparison to silk screening.
 * 4) * Do not think about making it into black and white. It's extremely unpleasant to the eye.
 * 5) * Don't just go cheap on the disc, by simply printing a grey canvas, black canvas or a white canvas.
 * 6) * Clear discs are also optional. Even if there's no story to them, they're absolutely fine.
 * 7) * Don't just do a picture of only one or two characters, in any colour greyscale. It's incredibly unpleasant.
 * 8) Hire a good set of DVD disc artists.
 * 9) Don't be tempted to put the DVD into any eco-friendly packaging, such as the infamous Eco-Box. Even if it saves the environment, nobody likes it.
 * 10) Always pick a good quality DVD casing, such as a pseudo-Eco Box (as J's Blu-rays calls it) or perhaps an Amaray.
 * 11) Perhaps you should create interactive menus that feel lifelike, instead of going cheap and creating simple menus.
 * 12) Don't forget to include tons of special features, especially the behind-the-scenes and making of features.
 * 13) Interactive games are optional. Sadly, it's been a while since interactive games have been included on DVDs and Blu-rays. Just why?
 * 14) If you want to, picking a coloured case for the DVD is optional. For example, a white case is usually a good pick for this.
 * 15) * Believe it or not, everybody loves white cases.
