After spending hours of authoring you finally came up with playable Blu-ray on BD-R. You were excited and the great sense of accomplishment made you feel lighter when you walked. Let’s replicate this baby like a fish spawn its eggs. So you googled “Blu-ray replication” and voila! Wait, they all needed BD-CMF, unlike the case of DVD I could only supply a playable DVD-R. Well, no big deal, I will just let the software output BDCMF then. After looking and searching the user’s guide you finally realized that your software, despite its seemingly powerful editing capability, is incapable of outputting BDCMF. From one of the websites you found a solution to use DVDIt Pro for $499. You felt uncomfortable to have to pay extra half grand with the possibility of re-authoring. Worse of all, the product already disappeared from the market and was nowhere to be bought.
