Can you make a blue-ray or blue laser DVD or atleast play them? I think that's where I was confused. HDV is good enough for me! But does anyone know if one could burn "true HD" with a red ray/DVD-5? |

I'm assuming that's because of the protection on the commercial discs.

Apple sure is slow to adopt 720p60 even though its an existing broadcast standard. Still cant even digitize or export 720p60 HDV over firewire! Hello?! Anyway, still thinking about picking up one of the Toshiba players. Probably when the next iteration of DVDSP comes out. Peace! |

I have done this and can say it does work. I even burned onto a dual layer DVD using 720P30 footage.
Just take the disc to Best Buy and try it on a demo DVD player, they were curious to see it and let me. Looked good on a 50inch Plasma and a Toshiba HD DVD player. |

Hi Jim, I'm just reporting that 720p60 does not work. Anything at 30fps does work, just no 60.

That is sooo cool!!!
I tried this out over the weekend. Burned a DVD formatted as HD-DVD with some 1080p30 footage from my A1, just like Hugh described.
This is just so cool!! The quality is amazing. Played it back on the Toshiba A20 HD-DVD player that I bought about 2 weeks ago. Really nice. And, like Hugh pointed out, if the source footage is MPEG2 (and not Apple Intermediate Codec) then DVD studio Pro doesn't have to do any transcoding, so burning the disc took less than 15 minutes (that's on a G5/2.3Ghz). Disc includes a menu just like a regular DVD - it's just an HD-DVD. Thought I'd have to share this since I think it's a great way to show finalized clips. BTW, turns out you can watch such a disc on the Mac using DVD player (not sure this has been mentioned here). When you select "Actual size" from the video menu, you can easily verify that it's 1920x1080 resolution and not regular SD-DVD. Best Regards, Dino EDIT: P.S. Totally forgot to thank Hugh for sharing this in the first place! Thanks so much!!! Last edited by Dino Leone; September 17th, 2007 at 10:56 AM. Reason: acknowledgement |

I am glad to see that someone else has succeeded in burning 1080p30 content to a DVD-5 HD-DVD using FCP. Also, thanks for burning a disc that contains a menu. All of my tests to date have not included menus, so it is exciting to hear that your menu or menus worked properly. Did the disc's menu contain multiple buttons, video, sound, etc.? This is clearly the most affordable way to output HD content at this moment provided your footage is 30 minutes or under. I wonder if you can use a duel layer DVD-5 discs for this same process. I would assume so. Hugh |

Next Question!
What model of HDTV's are you guys using with your Toshiba? When I went to best buy to test my disk it really looked like horseshiite on the new Toshiba 1080p Regza model- the material was 720p24 which tells me that the A20's scaler is not so great. The bitrate on my DVD was low so I'll be testing another one shortly.

Not the computer guru like many of you on this thread, but would the same concept work with FCHD Express, and burn via iDVD? Haven't moved up to FCS 2 yet. But a very interesting thread. Thanks.

No, that won't work with iDVD. That's one of the many reasons I did upgrade from FCE some time ago.

How much data may the HD-DVD's take, when burned with DVD Studio Pro?
Is it 4.7GB, just like a regular Standard Def. DVD? This thread has some AWESOME info!!! nearsightedproductions.com |
