Hi,
My setup is Canon XHA1 + PowerMac G5 + Final Cut Studio 2.
I have shot and edited my projects in HDV - but when I convert to mpeg2 for DVD playback, I am not happy with the results. It always looks a bit too soft for my liking! I am sure that HDV can provide better.
I processed the HDV file in Compressor (DVD, >90 min, Best Quality, Max Bit Rate 8). Then burnt the resulting file in DVD Studio Pro on to a DVD.
Do I need to shell out on a Kona LHe? Would it do the job better than software? Are there any other alternatives as that card has a pretty heafty price tag?
All I want is great looking DVDs - not too much to ask is it?
Thanks, Byron.
