I know Spiderman 3 wasn’t shot on an HV30………..but, I gotta tell ya, the picture quality is even BETTER than that when viewing just some of the footage I’ve captured with it already. I’d swear I was watching a Discovery HD program. NO KIDDING!

I’ve already done an import with imovie but I’m pretty unfamiliar with all the movie and DVD software that came with this Mac. I heard iMovie was excellent though. So I guess that’s where I’ll continue my efforts. I just have to figure out how to use it and quit being so lazy!

Yeah, I guess you’re right. But now I have to figure out how to do all that on my Mac. I have the resources here to ultimately do just that. BUT, I need to learn how to do all that. Then I have to figure out what software I’ll need and learn that also.

I have a dual-core Mac Pro with 8 gigs RAM and 2+TB of disk space. That will suffice, I’m sure. Just the software i’m going to have problems with. I don’t mind putting the time in as long as the overall quality comes out looking as good as say………..”Spiderman 3″ on SD DVD.

Thanks for the information, Gord…………….I understand that a standard DVD cannot store HD information. However, I have seen some standard Def DVD’s that look REAL close – especially on an upscaling DVD player as you suggested. I’m interested in finding a way to burn the information from my HD camcorder to a Standard Def DVD and have it look as good as I could possibly get it to look.

I was upset to see that the first burn I did looked really bad. I’m uncertain as to what, if anything, I did to make that happen or if there’s anything I can do to prevent it from happening again. Perhaps a setting on the camera or the recorder. I’ll figure it out sooner or later. And if it doesn’t appeal to me, then I’ll just get that Blu-ray burner! (LOL)

Thanks for your input, man! I appreciate your time!
