Nostalgia BDCMF conversion for French Blu-Ray

As part of a long-standing partnership, we have been working to encode a number of films for a French movie distributor to get them ready for Blu-ray replication. This time, we have converted the 2022 Italian-French drama film 'Nostalgia' into the BDCMF format for distribution in the French-speaking market. Watch the trailer on the link above or view on YouTube.

BDCMF is an industry format used for the mass replication of Blu-ray discs. The standard BDMF format which is created by authoring software cannot be used in the replication process and needs to be converted to BDCMF first.

Co-written and directed by Mario Martone the film tells the story of Felice, who after 40 years of absence, returns to his hometown: Naples to visit his ill mother. He rediscovers the places, the codes of the city and a past that eats away at him.

Nostalgia BDCMF conversion

We were sent a digital copy of the BDMV Blu-ray master, which Mark ran through our dedicated BDCMF encoding software before returning to the distributor, again via the web, for speed of turnaround. We can generally deliver BDCMF files the same day or next day depending on the timezone.

If you have a film project and need help getting it onto DVD or Blu-ray then please get in touch with us at Maniac Films or check out our DVD & Blu-ray services for more information. Can offer BDCMF conversion services or Bluray replication, as well as high quality DCP encoding for Film Festivals and Digital Cinema Release.
