Yes you need DVD SP 4 to make a HD DVD, but the question is what is do you plan on playing the DVD on, if it is just a reguler DVD player you will have to downconvert the HD to SD and then make a reguler DVD. If you want it in HD you will have to play it from a the Mac Computer, I have heard that the Tosheba HD DVD player might play it but cant say for shure

I still sajest talkiing to the person who did the demonstration and get screen records from the computer (not recording the computer with a camera but using a program that records the action on the screen and makes a video file of it) THE END RESULT WILL LOOK MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL.

Ask your client if they are fine with ehe crapy looking video then use it if they want something better explain they need to pay a little more for you to get better assets to work with.

You say the event is 2 hours this length of time can pose some problems mainly you are going yo need to change tapes at least once. the pick up shots of the crowd can cover the video on this, audio however is another issue as you dont want to loose any part of the speeches.

If there are breaks in the program then perfict, but if all they are doinig is changing speekers that might not be enuff time to change tapes.

If you can record DTE using something like a Firestore drive you might be ok, however I would recomend 2 cameras and overlaping your tape changes (this also makes the video less stagnent and moor visualy appeling as you can cut between two different angles) And then for your master audio record to a seperite audio recording device capable of recording for the deration of the event.
