HDV to Blue-ray

[Peter Dewit]

it’s kind of sad that DVDSP doesn’t support bluray yet. HDV is actually a good candidaite for it since MPEG 2 is supported on blu-ray format without further compression. Finally we’d have a way to output HDV natively without taking a quality hit.

I don’t know where the additional $3,000 investment figure comes from, bc you can do it for almost half (this is assuming you already have FCS2).

Current Mac workflow for creating Blue-Ray discs:

1.) FCP -> Export your HD master
2.) Encode with Compressor: MPEG2 select for Blue-Ray (use an HD encoding existing setting that comes with Compressor and just select “Blue-Ray” and tweak – but you don’t have to touch it…
3.) Build Blue-Ray with Encore (throw away Premiere 🙂 (cost $800)
4.) Burn with Pioneer BDR-202B (Cost $400)
5.) Play back with PlayStation 3 (Cost $400)
