Archiving BWU100A 1080/24P content to Blu-Ray?
I just bought a Sony BWU100A, hoping to archive 1080/24P to Blu-Ray.
Have any V1U users tried this yet? Have you found a workflow that works? It seems Blu-Ray Export & Authoring is a big feature for the next version of Premiere Pro, and hopefully Sony Vegas have this planned as well (I'm assuming they do)... but have any V1U users started doing this already? |

Unfortunately both DVDit Pro HD and Power Producer will not accept .m2t files - they have to be transcoded to elementary stream (.m2v) and audio files. |
Yeah, I bought a sony laptop with Blu Ray in December. I found out that there is no included software that is practical at making Blu Ray Disks with HDV content. The included software is very lowsy and I couldnt get it to make anything useful. I will have to wait until Premiere Pro 3 with Encore DVD 3 comes out. and buy it to make Blu Ray Disks from my HDV projects.

I'm currently archiving HDV projects from my Sony FX1 to hard drives, which are cheaper than blank Blu-ray discs per GB. Once the blank disc prices drop, the least expensive authoring program I know of is Ulead DVD MovieFactory Plus. Ulead claims they can, "Capture from either HDV or DV video camcorder, and burn directly to Blu-ray Disc to create a video disc that plays on your next-generation player."

I just got the BWU100A at FutureShop recently for CAD$449; I couldn't resist buying it. I'm just hoping that Adobe implements proper support for Blu-Ray Authoring from HDV 1080/24P cams like the V1U.
If not, well I've got a nice Blu-Ray player for my PC :) I'm expecting NAB to showcase a lot of Blu-Ray focused workflows this year. |
Kevin what file format are you using to archive your footage? If you could please give the settings.
|
I'm encoding back to standard 1080i/60 MPEG2-TS at 25 Mbps using the preset for that in Procoder Express for Edius. By the way, I figured out this week that I can play these HDV files directly on a Playstation 3 from an external USB2 drive, plus I can copy the files to the internal PS3 drive and play them from there. So if you want an easy way to archive up to 60GB of HDV material and play it back on an HDTV, buy a PS3! :-)

Have you tried to play back other file types, too? |

Oh yeah, it also plays games too... :-) |

On the other hand I highly appreciate sharing experience with the usable ones from the countless number of file formats instead of trial and error appoach that I follow today. |
I don’t play games never have but you just talked me into a play station 3.

Because the PS3 plays videogames, HDV and AVCHD files, it really is the perfect entertainment unit. |
Hey Kevin,
Have you tested with any 24P content yet by any chance? Will the PS3 play that without a hitch also? When you mentioned that you are playing HDV content off the hard drive of your PS3, I imagine you're keeping your file sizes under 4GB due to the restrictions in FAT32. Is that correct? |
