Question Is this possible?

[Kramerica]

Hi all

Firstly I would like to say that I have a mental disability and request that any responses be in non-technical jargon.

Does anyone know whether it’s possible to burn a series of .mp4’s to bluray disc, so that they remain as a complete series of .mp4’s (ending up side by side-not joined into one big .mp4) complete with a chapter marker inbetween (similar to store bought seasonal DVD’s)?

I realise that I can achieve this using a TV/bluray recorder, but if I do then every .mp4 ends up severely inflated with the .vob extension.

Is this possible at all? Or is this a case of wishful thinking?

Thanks in advance.

There are basically two ways to do this:

1) Blu-Ray format disc authoring (playable on all Blu-Ray players, but may increase file size / require the .mp4 files to be re-compressed to BD-R standards.

2) Burn a DATA Blu-Ray disc, as a UDF-format disc, containing the source .mp4 files AS DATA FILES. This style disc will be playable in PCs, and in Blu-Ray players that play .mp4 / DATA discs. Not all set-top Blu-Ray players will be able to play these discs.

I used to do DVD authoring back in the day. It was far more involved than I liked but it worked. I can't remember the software but it allowed you to set up the menu using links to map the individual videos. Not sure if there is a Blu-ray version available.

EDIT: the software I used was DVDLab. There are numerous authoring software available but they look pricey.
