Hi guys, this is my first post, I'm a filmmaker from Mallorca (Spain).
After a lot of reading and learning here there's something I'd like to discuss.
I have a Pal Canon XH-A1, I edit in Canopus Edius 4. My investigation target right now is to edit HDV wihtout problems and get a final DVD-R (or DVD-R DL) with the estructure of HD-DVD and play it in an Toshiba stand-alone player.
To do that I convert with procoder from the timeline (I edit raw .m2t captured with hdvsplit) from HDV 1440x1080 50i to Mpeg2 1440x1080 60i, 29.97 or 23.9.
I tried different options: interlaced upper field first, bottom field first and progressive.
It's necessary to convert to 60i because the HD-DVD format doesn't play properly material Pal sourced. So I hoped Procoder could perform a good conversion.
When I have the mpg from Procoder I import it in Ulead movie factory 6 in a hd-dvd project. This Ulead software is great. It's very easy to create a HD-DVD in a normal DVD-R.
The problem is that I cannot find a right setting with procoder because always the playback in my Toshiba is problematic. Stuttering mostly.
So the idea is wich could be the best method to convert europoean HDV material into an mpeg2 "american friendly" to be able to create a magnificent HD-DVD.
What are your experiences?
