Thanks - regarding CS6 being an upgrade to only CS5 is believable because
CS5 incorporated major re-writes to accommodate 64-bit, and prior versions
exist only in 32-bit format.
Regarding the Blu-Ray situation - according to some tech columnists there
has been confusion over Blu-Ray DRM. For instance, one reseller's web site
says: "Q: Can I play discs that I make on my computer's Blu-ray drive on my
home Blu-ray player?
A: Many late-model Blu-ray players are compatible with the recordable BD-R
and/or BD-RE formats (provided you also have the necessary authoring
software needed to create discs in the standard video formats required by
stand-alone players). However, this feature is optional at the discretion of
the manufacturer" claiming it's a manufacturer decision, and implying that
early models might not while later models will.
However, others say things like this: "I just received my LG back from LG.
The unit did not work out of the box so I sent it in for repair. They
replaced the main board and loaded the latest firmware.
The latest firmware (12/08) does not support BD-R/AVCHD discs. I . found the
April 08 firmware (which) is the latest that still supports BD-R/AVCHD
playback. So I downgraded the firmware and an AVCHD DVD plays fine"
suggesting LG crippled a capability. I've also heard that early Sharp models
played homemade BR disks fine but starting with their BD-HP20U they no
longer do; the exact opposite of what the reseller web site implies.
But another columnist claims the AACS DRM license is required only for
replicated BR_ROM's, saying there is no fee for BR-R or BR-RE discs. I don't
know how true any of this is but I still hear of difficulty some wedding
videographers have making Blu-Ray disks for their clients.
So, Julian, what you heard about players not playing homemade Blu-Ray disks
just might be true! Commercially pressed discs have the key imbedded and I
don't know whether a computer-based Blu-Ray writer can do that. There is a
fee the authoring people and the replication people can pay to Blu-Ray for
an AACS license ($500/yr.) plus a Title Key ($500 per title).

At the recent BVE (Broadcast Video Exhibition) in London the word 'on
the street' was that Adobe Premiere CS6 was on its way but that it would
only be possible to upgrade to it from CS5 (or presumably CS5.5).
I have no proof of this of course but it is a factor to be born in mind
if you own an older version of the program.
Another piece of 'intelligence' that I picked up at the show is that
some modern Blu-ray players will NOT play home-burnt discs (as opposed
to commercially pressed ones). It seems that this is a design feature
rather than an unfortunate error because the handbook for at least one
Sony machine had a reference to the situation in the section detailing
which discs it would and would not play. The moral of the story, I
suspect, is to check carefully that burnt discs are playable on any
machine you buy, particularly if it is a Sony.
