New feature: Creating Blu-ray Disc photo slideshow!

Burn photo slideshows to Blu-ray disc

Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the next-generation optical disc format. Blu-ray was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD). The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc.

We have added Blu-ray support to Photo DVD Maker since version 8.04.

Export photo slideshows to Blu-ray Disc

Now you can make Blu-ray photo slideshows with Photo DVD Maker.

Note: For the time being, Photo DVD Maker can only export HD videos in Blu-ray Disc folder. You may need third-party burning program with Blu-ray support to burn the output folder to Blu-ray Disc.

We are working on the Blu-ray burning feature now. You will be able to burn your photo slideshows to Blu-ray Disc directly from Photo DVD Maker.
