Workflow: HDV movie to PS3
I have a HDV movie (90 Minutes) that I would like to show in HD off a PS3. From what I understand the best way to do this is render to MP4, transfer to USB, then to use that to get on the hard drive of the PS3. Is this right? For MP4 do you render video and sound separately or keep them together?
I appreciate your help.

You render the audio with the video. Use the Sony AVC render type with the appropriate HDV template for your footage.

Thanks John. So i would render to Blu-Ray 1440 X 1080 60i. Do you recommend 15mbps or 8mbps.
Under the “video” tab what format do i choose for a USB? (AVC, memory stick, or AVCHD?)
Seems I have to go under the “Systems” tab and change the format to MP4 too, right?

Which is better quality MPEG-2 TS or MP4? Too many options! It seems that if I go with AVCHD then I don’t get the option to render progressive?
I appreciate the help.

I’ve only used MPEG-2 TS HDV m2t files on my PS3 and they have played fine. This is what my Sony Z1U shoots. You originally said you wanted to use AVCHD (MP4) which is fine also. If you render using the Blu-ray template, it is going to produce an AVC file. I don’t know if the PS3 can play these (you should certainly test it and see). If you use an AVCHD template it will create an M2TS file which I believe the PS3 will play fine. I would use 15Mbps vs 8 Mbps.
If you have HDV footage, then personally I would use MPEG-2 TS because that’s what your camera shoots. I see no reason to compress it with AVCHD except that the file size will be smaller. Do a few test renders and see what looks best to you. If file size is a concern then use AVCHD. If not, stay with HDV MPEG-2.
