getting started

Hi,
I wanted to play around with blu-ray development a bit, but I'm not sure exactly where to get started. I have looked at the java.net hd cookbook project, but I am still pretty lost as to what I need to do.
Do I need a blu-ray burner to start with (I hope not), or can I get away with a simple dvd writer?
Initially, I would like to get a simple 'Hello World' type of app up and running, then move onto playing videos, and finally, playing a video off of the internet.
If there are any available, could someone point me to any tutorials or examples of ramping up with blu-ray development?
Thanks!

I'd recommend checking out the authoring guidelines wiki, at http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Mobileandembedded/Blu-RayDisc. For getting started, the argicle about finding PC player software should be helpful.
Also, not to self-promote or anything, but have you looked into getting a copy of the book?
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks for getting back to me.
In regards to getting the book, I want to first play around a bit, and if its something that I feel I have the time and resources to actually sit down and implement something fun, then I would definitely grab it.
Right now, I kinda just want to create a proof of concept. I suppose I can run everything off of my machine during development, but to get a real POC, I would like to eventually have it in distribution form (i.e. where I can pop the dvd into PS3). Thats one area where I was a bit confused; as to whether I needed an actual blu-ray burner.

Hi,
Whether you need a BD burner or not depends on whether or not you need to run your POC on a hardware BD player, such as PS/3.
You can't burn the BD structure to a standard DVD and expect hardware BD players to recognize it as a BD. In theory, there is supposed to be a way to use a DVD (and there are some discussions on this on this forum too) but I haven't heard any success story.
PC players require the same disc structure as the hardware players for a BD playback. So, your process will be to test your disc structure on your PC by reading it off directly from a hard disk, and once you're satisfied with it, burn that structure onto a BD using a BD burner and pop the resulting BD to a hardware player.
Hope it helps, Chihiro
