He has 4 choices, unless he merely wants to play back his tapes using the
Sony camcorder as a playback deck.
1. Make an HD DVD using a conventional DVD burner and inexpensive software
and blank disks to produce 23 minute or 46 minute HD disks which are
visually indistinguishable from the original HDV tape in all respects and
also have animated menus and floating menus available in HD DVD. Approx
total cost for burner, software, blank media, and HD DVD Player totals $200.
HDV?? Perhaps your confused with a Tape Camcorder. The HC1 is not HDV.
The HDR-HC1 is a (discontinued) dual-mode DV/HDV (tape-based)
consumer-grade camcorder. The 50 Hz version was known as the HDR-HC1E.
Also. This route has the free Sony software that came with the camera,
that will create HD DVD, that is a regualar DVD that has a BR-DVD
formated file structure. But, like Smarty says, it's limited to only
about 23 minutes due to the file size of a DVD disc.
2. Burn a standard DVD ROM with the camcorder's HDV file on it (a .m2t file)
which a few BluRay players can play directly with no menus, but at full HDV
quality, for 23 or 46 minute play times. Approx cost $425 including a
Playstation 3.
There's that HDV word again.. again, don't throw in this HDV term it's
confusing, this camera has nothing to do with HDV.
As mentioned above, the HDR-HC1/HDR-HC1E is an HDV camcorder. It was
the consumer-grade version of the prosumer-grade HVR-A1 series
camcorders and happens to be one of the better consumer-grade HDV
camcorders that Sony ever produced.
And .mt2s files (not
.m2t which is actually another format), are AVCHD format.
..m2t = HDV
..m2ts = AVCHD
3. Burn a BluRay compatible but much less attractive, visually degraded and
recompressed 'AVCHD' format disk using inexpensive burner and blank disks,
with static menus which play for roughly 90 minutes on some but not all
BluRay disk players including the Sony Playstation 3. Approx cost totals
$500 including Playstation 3 player.
I have no idea what your talking about here? And to create a DB disc,
you'll need a lot more than 500 bucks.
4. Burn a true BluRay disk, using expensive burner, media, and software,
which play the HDV content in its' full glory. Approx cost $1200 including
BluRay burner, BluRay media, software, and Playstation 3 or other low cost
BluRay player.
Ok, this looks like the BR-DVD format.
