HD DVD

Hi guys! Do you have any sugesstions on how to burn HD video content on DVD properly? I mean, what DVD ’s to use, what software is most reliable, settings and so…

I know Adobe Encore does the DVD menu stuff, like programing-wise I’ve never made a DVD menu but If I would I’d make it in After Effects and import to Encore

I think really any DVD disk should work fine, preferably the print ones where you can add your own cover design

Yeah, I also have a client who wishes to have a HD DVD video for his video displays in his night club, but I’m struggling to do that. Probably will do just that. Make it as a data disc, and hope for the best.

I did a similar thing awhile ago. Luckily, the DVD player support Divx up to HD res, (it was a LG model, forgot the type) so what I did was encode a Divx .avi file with autogk and burned it into a regular dvd-r, and it played fine…

about set top divx capable players, mostly you need to check the “finalize disc” option when burning, sometimes they won’t read burned dvd-r/rw if it’s not finalized.

and lastly, no matter what the resolution is, if they didn’t hookup the HDMI cable…. it’s useless

thanks fray, tried that already. In the end I burned it with neroVision and results were also ok.

You can burn HD to a DVD if you burn it in AVCHD . BUT you are essentially making a blu-ray disc that fits on a 4.7 or 9.4 GB disc.

Then for playback you’d need a Blu-ray player, capable of playing back AVCHD , which PS3 and any blu-ray player less than 1 year old should support.

yeah… did not tried that yet, but sure will. Thanks Mark
