Hey I need some ideas

[Steve Eisen]

Roxio Toast Titanium 9 or 10 with the BD plug-in may be able to help you.

Burn your sequence to Blu-Ray. If you can’t afford to buy a Blu-Ray burner than that’s not an option.

If your sequence is 20-30 minutes, you can burn your sequence onto a standard DVD (AVCHD format) that will play on a Blu-Ray player.

HD DVD has been discontinued. The options in DVDSP have no effect.

Some standard DVD players have upscaling capabilities that do look good on big displays.

I’m curious about this AVCHD thing. Can you elaborate? I’d love to make a Blu ray disc with standard DVD burner of my generally 15 min corporate productions.

And Aldo,just because it’s going to be big doesn’t mean it needs to be hd. Depends how close the audience is. Think billboards. They don’t look that amazing 5 feet away.

You will find more information in Bruce Nazarian’s book “Fast Path to Blu-Ray.”

Surely I don’t need to spend $15 to discover this information.

Toshiba still has a few HD dvd players left in the market. See if you can find one somewhere.

“The creative person wants to be a know-it-all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth-century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.” — Carl Ally

i understand that point but when your audience is 6 ft from a 20mt screen ya kind of want to have a hi def resolution especially when there is text subtitles or logos involved you tend to have a fathering affect on the edge of the logos or text which is part of the reason I want to burn in HD

I am trying out the burn your sequence onto a standard DVD (AVCHD format) that will play on a Blu-Ray player.

But I don’t understand how that Works do I need to set it up some way in compressor???? Or in FCP or After Effects
my sequences are about 12 to 15 min long so Im guessing it should work????

So what are you searching for Dave? I tried but all I find are threads about burning blu-ray discs in toast that are images, or have been encoded with toast, etc.

I was looking for info on burning AVCHD files onto standard DVD-R that plays in blu-ray player. Sounds intriguing. Brief google attempts were a little hazy, but the data is out there. I just have work to get done in the meantime. 🙂

From Roxio Toast Titanium 10 manual:

To make a High Definition DVD:

1. At the top left of the Toast window, click Video and choose the Blu-ray
Video project

2. Choose optional disc settings:
The disc settings and options available are identical to those available
when creating a DVD or Blu-ray Disc™. For more information on
these options and settings, see Making a DVD or BD Video Disc.

3. Add your HD video files to the disc by dragging and dropping them
into the Content Area from your hard disk or the Media Browser.

4. On the disc gauge in the bottom right hand area of the window, select
DVD or DVD DL as your target media type.

5. Insert a blank, recordable DVD

6. Click the red Record button, choose a recorder from the list, and
configure recording options, such as Number of Copies.

7. Click Record to continue.
Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it records your disc.
