Part 2. Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Blu-ray with Sub-Menu Extras / Bonus Features

Before we start, we need to download and install Yuhan Blu-ray Creator. If your computer is Windows, you can click the button on the left below to download it. If your computer is Mac, please click the button on the right below to download it.

Step 1: Add Media Files

After launching the software, go to the "Blu-ray" tab at the top to begin creating your Blu-ray. Click on "Add Video" to import video files, "Add Picture" to include images, or "Add Music" to add music files. If your video contains multiple audio tracks and subtitles, you can easily select your preferred options from the corresponding drop-down menus for audio and subtitles. At the bottom of the interface, you can choose the output resolution (1080P or 720P), disc capacity (BD50 or BD25), and frame rate (23.976fps, 24fps, 25fps, 29.97fps, 50fps, or 59.94fps).

Step 2: Video Settings (Optional)

Click the "Edit" button on the right side of the loaded video to open the video settings window. In this window, you can adjust the start and end times of the video, as well as customize chapters according to your preferences. If your video file already includes chapters, Yuhan Blu-ray Creator will automatically import them, ensuring smooth playback.

Step 3: Disk Menu Settings

Click the "Select Menu" button to open the menu settings dialog. Here, you can browse the available templates on the right and customize them to your preference. Set unique background images and music for each menu page, and rearrange the layout by dragging menu items to different positions. Double-click any menu item to modify its text or appearance. Additionally, you can remove specific elements from the main menu, such as thumbnails, titles, or the "Settings" button, to create a more personalized experience.

By default, Yuhan Blu-ray Creator does not enable the Bonus Features submenu. To activate it, check the "Bonus Features" option in the menu settings. However, this option is only available when at least two media files are loaded.

Step 4: Advanced Settings

Yuhan Blu-ray Creator offers advanced settings that can be accessed through the software's settings window. In this section, you can choose the processing mode for creating your Blu-ray: transcoding or pass-through. Additionally, you can configure the video decoder, video encoder, and set the encoding bitrate to optimize the quality and performance of your Blu-ray creation.

Step 5: Output Settings

You can save your Blu-ray project as a BDMV folder, an ISO image, or burn it directly to a disc. Additionally, you can customize the disc label, select the default audio track, and choose the default subtitle to enhance your viewing experience.

Step 6: Start authoring

Click the "Start" button, and Yuhan Blu-ray Creator will begin the process. The time required may vary, typically taking one to two hours, depending on your computer's configuration. Once the process is complete, the disc will be ejected, and you’ll have a Blu-ray with an underlined highlighted menu ready for viewing.

Part 3. Tips for a Professional Blu-ray Experience

1. Use High-Quality Media

Use reputable BD-R or BD-RE discs from brands like Verbatim or Sony to ensure compatibility with Blu-ray players.

2. Ensure Audio Compatibility

If retaining Dolby Atmos (TrueHD), DTS-HD Master, or PCM, test playback on a Blu-ray player that supports these formats.

3. Keep Menus Intuitive

Avoid cluttered designs—use clear labels and simple navigation.

4. Optimize Sub-Menus

If you have multiple bonus features, categorize them into Behind the Scenes, Deleted Scenes, and Interviews instead of listing everything in one menu.

5. Check Frame Rate Settings

Ensure that your Blu-ray is encoded in the correct frame rate (23.976fps for cinematic content, 29.97fps for TV content, etc.).
