We're going to be committing Blu-Ray compatible encoding in x264 soon, which will be the first open-source Blu-Ray compatible encoder, and we plan to release a free downloadable Blu-Ray image to coincide with this. We really don't want to release something like Big Buck Bunny or Elephants Dream for the umpteenth time so we're looking for something else (length doesn't matter much)
The conditions are: Must be "free" Must look good in 1080p Must have a high-quality master available to us Are there any good suggestions for what we could use? The only two which are contenders so far are "Bergensbanen" from NRK, a 7.5 hour train journey (!), or "Fairytale" from the SVT HD test set (though we haven't yet been able to track down anyone who has a full copy) (For the H.264 nerds out there, another developer added multiple slice support a few months ago and I wrote a large part of NAL-HRD which were the missing pieces we didn't have that Blu-Ray requires) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
