Thanks Tom,
I will give Womble a try. I still don't understand why MF6+ won't take any of my HDV files directly from Vegas. MF6+ has no trouble with any of my SD Vegas files. It is only the HDV ones that it always says "FileName is not accessible."
This would seem to imply that there is something in Vegas that is denying access by MF6+ to ONLY the HD files. However; these same "unaccessible" HD files are accessible to Adobe Premiere. That just does not make sense to me.
I take it that you use Vegas, but go through womble to get the 5.1 audio into the Mpeg-2 output file to MF6+. I will give that a try. Thank You very much for your help.. Have a Good Weekend - PK

Yes Mark, you can burn a HD-DVD disc with a standard DVD burner on a standard DVD+/-R. No expensive burner to buy. The image quality is superb, and the only down side is that you can only get a bit over 20 minutes on a disc, or 40 minutes on a DualLayer disc. It is great to finaly be able to see the image quality of our HDV camcorders in our edited output. I only wish that Adobe and Sony would incorporate this into their editing products - which would make the work flow a lot easier - PK.

HD DVD Play Problem

I just got a Toshiba HD-A2 (with current firmware) and have been burnning content (1080i 29.97). I've tried M2T (25 mbs) files converted to MPG with Womble DVD and rendering to MPG from PPro CS3. Then burnded with MF6+. They playback discs stutter so much they was unusable. I had to drop the bit rate below 15 mbs to get them to play. Several users have reported using 25 mbs.

I've been using TDK DVD+R discs.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottom line, burn onto DVD+R or +R dual layer as you are doing currently, but use firmware utility for your burner to set the book type bitsetting to "physical media type" or +R. The default for most burners is DVD-ROM, which is where the problem lies for the A2, A20, XA2.

Not all burners allow the booktype setting to be changed. For those that don't, you may be able to do a search for (or read the thread I mentioned, toward the end) for utility software that does it for your burner via a firmware patch. Some burner firmwares already support booktype bitsetting, in which case burning software like NERO allow you to change it.

Thanks for the help. Time to search for a new burner.
