    so if i shoot a client project in HD, knowing that the original final master will be an SD DVD with the later option to re-master to an HD or Blu-Ray DVD, are there any “tricks” in the process, or is it simply a matter of finding a post-house in town that can burn to either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray? and what are you finding as “average costs” to burn a project to HD/Blu-Ray?

    hopefully that is a clearly explained simple question? : )

    thanks again!

    If you post in HD you are starting in the right place. If you post in SD you aren’t.

    If the program is small enough, you can make an HDDVD right now on DVD-R media and DVD Studio Pro. Yes you read that correctly. The problem is that the file sizes are a lot bigger the SD DVD so your program has to be pretty short.

    You can make BluRay DVDs with Adobe Encore and a Bluray burner.

    thanks Jeremy. at this point, this was planned to be an 8-hour seminar, split over 4 (SD) DVD at 2 hour a piece, so they definitely won’t be small enough in HD to cram onto anything less than HD/Blu-Ray at this point. i realize Blu-Rays are in the 25 GB area (aren’t they?) so is that similar in project length to a 4 GB SD DVD?

    thanks again!
