I will of course do everything I can to shave days out of this schedule, but as it stands we won't be shipping until early November.

1 week for check disc testing (both by Patron Inspectors and the commercial testing service).Īs Disc 2 has already gone through version 1, it is not in the critical path, and should be ready for Release to Mastering before the other two discs.10 days to produce check discs and deliver to Wilmington.1 week for final BD-R testing (US checkers only to reduce time).1 week for authoring revisions based on feedback.

2 weeks for version 1 testing and feedback (includes mailing time).The current production timeline (assuming nothing else goes wrong) looks like this: I've also sent a disc off to a commercial disc testing service even though it isn't a final disc, it'll let us know if there are any authoring compatibility gotchas waiting to bite us.

I originally planned to send them just to the CrowdProduction team, but in order to save some time I have had some extra BD-Rs made up to send to some of the Patron Inspector backers. The end result is that the first test BD-Rs for discs 1 and 3 and the second test BD-R for disc 2 were finally sent out on Tuesday, over a month later than I originally estimated. The last month has been very challenging, as we ran into multiple problems while authoring the discs - and to make it even more frustrating, at every point it looked like we'd be able to get things done in a week.
