1080 Full HD Issues
I am using a Sony FX7 and are capturing in high definition. According to the LCD screen on the camera it is recording 1080i. The problem is that all of my output from Vegas 8.0 and Architech 4.5 seems to be 576 only.
I have the Project Video Properties set as:
Template: HDV 1080-50i (I am in Australia and we operate on 50Hz)
Width x Height: 1440 x 1080
Field Order: Upper Field First
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333 (HDV 1080)
Full_Res Rendering Quality: Best
Deinterlace: Blend FieldsAnyone got any ideas why the output is 576? Can I achieve 1080 with DVDs or do I need BluRay? I am viewing the finished DVDs via a Sony PS3 on a Sony Bravia Full HD LCD TV.

You need Blu-ray. PAL DVD’s max out at 720×576.

John, isn’t there a way to burn some HD content (around 20 min.) to a standard DVD that will play on a PS3?

Yes, but let’s define “standard DVD”. There is DVD the “format” and DVD the “shiny disc”. If we are just talking about the shiny DVD media disc, then you can burn a Blu-ray format to DVD media. This is what you are referring to and yes it works for about 20 minutes of video.
When Matt said DVD I assumed DVD player and thus DVD format. In re-reading his post I see that he wants to play them back on a PS3 in which case he can author a Blu-ray disc not to exceed the capacity of DVD media and it will play back on a PS3 but it won’t play back on a regular DVD player.
The easiest way to do this is from within Vegas use Tools | Burn Disc | Blu-ray Disc… and place DVD media in your burner. What you end up with is a Blu-ray formatted disc on DVD media.
Thanks Mike for catching my misunderstanding.
