  • Printing DVD in 720p

    Posted by Coulter Mitchell on September 8, 2007 at 11:24 pm

    I shot an entire movie in 720p, and it’s finished. I’m ready to print it out to a DVD. What I’ve understood from CC is that a MacBook Pro cannot export a DVD through iDVD in 720p. Can anyone recommend the cheapest, fastest way to print out a HD DVD in 720p from a dual intel processor G4 MacBook Pro? I also have access to a G5 and a iMac G5. Thanks!

    I believe the answer was spelled it out in your last thread… you can’t do this on any of those computers without high-end DVD authoring software and a special type of DVD burning drive (HD-DVD or BluRay) installed inside the computer. A quick websearch for “Adobe Encore” and “BluRay burner Macintosh” looks like you’d be around the $600-$800 price range for the two. These would have to be installed in something other than your laptop.

    Perhaps your best bet (both financially and time-wise) is to hire a production house with the appropriate gear and experience, and have them author the HD disc for you.
