4K projects – rendering, archiving, UHD Blu-ray and other queries
Hi all,
There was a post a while back which I cannot find (written by Roger B) about whether its possible to burn our recorded 4K footage to some sort of playable Ultra-Blu ray format. John R mentioned that the hollwood bigwigs have made it impossible for the consumer market to author 4k discs. I was wondering the following:1) Is this situation still the same?
2) I am thinking of buying a 4K camera now for video (after years of only using HD). What are you guys doing with your 4K footage? What codec/format do you use when rendering your 4K project? Are you burning this as a standard file onto a Blu-Ray disc for storage etc? Interested to see how everyone is approaching this before I start off on the wrong foot. There was this page which indicated that DVD Fab UHD creator might be able to have a shot at it: https://www.dvdfab.cn/resource/4k-media/how-to-burn-4k-movies
3) Does anyone have a UHD Blu-ray player that can play a 4K file (mp4 etc) burnt straight onto a Blu-ray disc?
4) If I filmed in 4K – but rendered this 4K footage to HD, do you know if this 4k > HD footage would be sharper and clearer (because the camera has picked up more detail) than footage that I would have actually filmed in HD?
Appreciate your advice, opinion and replies.
All the best Jay -

Hi Jay ..
4) As I understand it, it depends on the cameras. Most earlier mirrorless cameras produced FHD that was inferior to 4K > FHD. I tested my GH5 and as reported elsewhere its FHD is really good, I couldn’t see the difference between 4K > FHD. and FHD. On say a GH4 the 4K > FHD. is better than the FHD.
