New bluray project

[Alan Lacey]

Yes, thanks Rafeal, that was my thinking too.

Micheal, like most people on these forums – and I’m speaking for the little people here – I do hope you’re wrong. Thank you for the insight though, I’ll watch this space with interest.

Jason,

What were your reasons for choosing interlaced over progressive?

[Jason Prisk]

I was using the Z1U as one of my sources. That camera does not have a 1080p option. Now that I have the EX1, I am doing most everything in 1080p.

[Alan Lacey]

So Jason was this 1080i50, 1080p25 ??

And if so did the Bluray disks play okay and on what?

Michael is wrong if you want an official Blu Ray release it’ll cost you but you can still do it. Otherwise go the BD-R route and Sony won’t mind a bit!

Alan, I’m one of the ‘little people’ too.

Steve, I’m glad I’m wrong but no one has suggested exactly how we proceed with encoding (from an HD timeline), burning and then playing Blu-Ray through a projector or TV. Do we have to license or not, if so how? Will the standard Sony players play our DVD’s?

So much conflicting information and from Sony a deafening silence!

Go to the FCP forum and do a search for Blu Ray, Walter Biscardi has a good workflow for burning BDR discs that play on most players with no license required!

Thanks Steve, will do. There do seem to be various new ideas emerging and no doubt all will become manifest in the fullness of time.

hi Rafael,

I’m having a bit of a problem with HD storage at the moment. I have a Sony EX1 and have recorded a few films (720/50p) and I’m desperate for a way to archive the footage to free up some much needed HD space.

I’m considering buying a Blue Ray recorder, but one that I could plug in to my Mac Pro with a couple of external Lacie disks. Can you advise on a good compatible unit?

Thanks
Antonio
