DVD Burning.. Don't have HD support
So.. I am still kinda new to the whole... Phsyical copy deal... I alway keep my photos online as well as my Videos. but now a job I got needs a real DVD... It is due tomorrow so I am going to run to a store tonight.
Long story short. My program (It's crap) will only export some insanly low res like.. 480x720 What program can I get (The low the price the better) to make a dvd at full HD? I shoot an XH-A1 and edited it all together at full HD. So.. What are my options? I know there is stuff like Encore, but thats all I know... What is the current price on Encore now? |

I think you're bigger issue is the learning curve. It's not terribly intuitive, at least for me. After slogging through a couple of projects I got the hang of it. You can try Nero for US$100 and it's downloadable. I suspect that Sony, Corel and others have some low cost tools but I can offer not advice on those since I've not used any of them. Short deadline you have. Best of luck. |

Now there are some Blu-ray players that will support playing m2t files from a DVD (such as Sony's PS3.) But of you're looking to deliver a DVD that someone can place in a consumer DVD player and watch HD resolution video - you're out of luck. Tell us a bit more about how this DVD will be played and we might be able to give you more suggestions. |

to be a significant milestone for DV Info Net. When this site got started, 720x480 was the standard to which we all aspired. I guess we really have come a long way. |

I got Magix Movie Maker just for it's burning ability to get my clients DVD out...
Idealy, I would like to get a standard DVD that someone can just pop in any old player and watch their movie. What are my options software wise? What kind of resolution can I expect? |

If you want other DVD authoring software, there is Adobe Encore, Sony DVD Architect and at least a dozen others. None of them will make a DVD that plays HD video in normal DVD player. It just can't happen. Adobe and Sony do offer Blu-ray authoring, but that requires a Blu-ray burner, Blu-ray media and a Blu-ray player. |

I figured... Well I have been thinking of getting Blu-ray stuff... But until a client wants it on blu-ray I will just have to stick with the 720x480. I always give them a usb stick with the full file, so I doubt its an issue.
