Re: Unimpressed by HD-DVD

I should have added one more fact. The disks you burn are normal 4.7 GB
DVD-Rs using a cheap standard burner. They hold about 23 minutes of HD
content for a single layer disk, and twice that for a dual layer disk. The
Toshiba plays them just fine. Ulead MovieFactory 6+ knows how to burn red
laser 4.7GB standard DVD-R blanks in an HD DVD format so all you do is
capture the HC3 content, edit and author the menus, chapters, etc. insert a
disk and burn it.

BTW I also use Vegas 7 to do editing and you can use Vegas 7 to render the
HC3 content into an HDV format mpeg2 file using the HDV 1080 template and
import the edited video into MovieFactory 6+ if you would prefer to do more
elaborate editing.

I have the latest version of Sony's Vega, so capturing and editing is not
my problem. (I also have the HDR-HC3). But, I still don't understand how
you burn an HD DVD.

I don't have an HD DVD player either. But, if I knew I could burn HD DVDs
for such a set-top player that would give me the incentive to buy one.

Sam,

The HDV from your Sony makes beautiful HD DVDs which play on the Toshiba
set-top players. You can use Ulead MovieFactory 6 Plus (about $60), or
Apple's DVD Studio Pro to create them, and I do it both ways. Also
Ulead's


Video Studio 10+ does a very nice job.

Download the free trial of Ulead Movie Factory 6+ and capture directly
from your Sony. I use both the HDR-HC3 and FX-1 camcorders, and they both
work superbly well. Also, you can import still camera pictures from any
digital camera with more than 2 megapixel images and you will see the
images on your 1920 by 1080 HDTV at full rez (roughly 2 Mpixels). The
still picture slideshows and camcorder videos can be mixed for a really
nice wedding, party, travel or other HD DVD.

How do you make HDV DVDs and what do you use to view them?

I have a Sony consumer HDV camcorder. All I have figured out so far is
to upload the tape to my PC, edit it, then download the finished product
to the camcorder and use it as the player.

I make a lot of HD-DVDs with still photographs as well as with prosumer
HDV camcorders, and I am here to tell you that HD DVD delivers stunning
1920 by 1080 full frame content in exactly the same format, resolution,
and color gamut as the MPEG2 encoded BluRay disks, and generally quite
superior to anything I can see on my satellite or HD cable box, both of
which are encoded at a much lower bit rate than the 25 Mbit/sec data
coming from the HD DVD.
