Blu-Ray and HD DVD
Just curious if any more of you have installed Blu-Ray burners and are having success from Vegas 8 timeline, as I see one previous poster has. What brand and model of Blu-Ray players are you using/recommend? Media? What to watch out for?
I just installed a version of Pinnacle’s Studio 10 that can burn HD DVD on a regular DVD-R (23 minutes worth at Best Qulaity). Just burned a test disc of High Res Photos in that dinky, little program to play at work tomorrow on a Toshiba HD DVD Player – (Model D2 on closeout for $125.00 at Costco). Trying to figure out the workflow to render a compatible file, from HDV, in Vegas 8 that will work in Pinnacle Studio for HD DVD output. Anyone with experience out there doing this? Cheers!John D.

I recently came across an HD player — the JVC AveLink, $360 at B&H — that works well. It plays WMV files (and they look great), Divx files and regular DVDs (but not uprezed so not so hot). It has a disk player but the best is it has a network connection. With the software that comes with it my notebook becomes the “server” and it will play any size file. It has several outputs – component for HD directly into the projector or TV. Up to 8M bitrate for WMV files. You might want to try that.

I’ve had some success and am still doing some playback compatibility testing. I’ll start a new thread with my limited findings…
