Authoring Hi-def...?

[Simon_LDT]

Hey,

Looking at possibly sharing my videos as HD. Is there actually a way to author my files to a Blu-ray disc 'structure' so when peeps download they can just burn it?

The problem is I don't have a Blu-ray burner or media, but I was hoping I can still create it anyway even if I can't play it myself yet.

Also I need to be able to 'edit' my raw footage beforehand and somehow save it without compression.

Can it be done?

hey simon please tell us your pc specs like how much ram you have what your processor is are you on a desktop or laptop etc.. before we can help you we need to know that your pc could handle editing the HD footage first. cheers man for wanting to share those amazing shows.

I'm on a laptop, but have access to a 'gaming' machine if worst comes to the worst.

1.83ghz core duo intel (that is 3.6ghz total am I right?)
1gb ram

I haved captured and edited HD files before but I've always down-converted by encoding to DVD standard mpeg2. I've never tried to save an edited HD file as HD (if that makes sense).

ok thats good do you have a PC or a Mac?.. Laptop core 2 duo is enough only the ram is low for HD editing but if you have done it before thats great, ok here is where it gets interesting lets say you have the full show on your DV tapes obviously you know how to get the footage to your pc how big are the files and what format is the full show in if you put 1 of the full shows on your pc the RAW files how big is it in gig and what file format does it transfer to from the HV20

i am going to show you a few links because i personally do not know it all so even i have to read to try and help if i can this is new and alot of people are still getting there feet wet with HD

please check out a few of these links they are sure to help you out but without a bluray burner it makes things a little more complicated.

once you make the bluray structure for burning then you can just seed that here then someone could burn it onto a bluray disc or maybe even a dual layer dvd as well.

if you are wanting to create a AVCHD bluray structure check this link out

Thanks, gonna start reading through those links now.

RAW footage saved as .m2t files (apparently its Transcoded mpeg2, whatever that means). For each tape, it took 12.2GB (about 63 min).

I've been reading just now about people who have been able to burn HD files to normal DVD's and play them on ps3's etc. Maybe can try that? The problem then, is the full show might take at least 4dvd.

very nice Simon 24.2 gig for both HDV Tapes in HD would look awesome for that show, actually in one of the links it talks about having to change the .m2t .m2ts instead i know GNROSAS made a AVCHD bluray folder structure for his HD Machine Head show.
this could have been burned directly to a blu-ray disc or a dual layer dvd and played on the PS3

like i said some of us are still learning this stuff and some of us can view these on a PS3 but a small handfull of us cannot edit HD footage as we don't have the equipment or all the info about it yet because some of us are still learning, but by helping & showing others how to do it/learn will make other interested in learning how to do it.

Simon, been reading and talking with Chris with regards to trying to sort this out. Yes you can create an AVCHD folder, but the folder and contents have to match. Secondly, that can later be burned with Nero or ImgBurn. When using ImgBurn it is going to create a file that will be named an MDS file. That is the file that would be needed to burn that to DVD9.

All of the links posted are excellent resources and between all of us in here, we are all willing to help in any way.

If the only way you can do this is with 4 DVD's I am sure that won't be much trouble as not all have a DL burner anyway, so 4 DVD's might be the solution.

Good Luck and hopefully you can get this sorted.


****EDIT**** I am just putting this here as this is what I had to go through making a DVD9 with ImgBurn. Nero 9 had a different result.

Yea, but still having probs fuckin' saving anything. I thought if I didn't need to encode it would be ok but my footage is still getting stuck saving at 96% using Vegas 7.0. I've captured the whole tape twice and it happens same place. It plays absolutely fine though in VLC player.

Any ideas? is there a prog or something that can 'test' my file for any corrupt frames or something? This is the first time I've had such problems and I've been filming in HD for about 1 year now.

hey Simon i know it can be frustrating, i have never used Vegas 7 i looked at the Machine Head GNROSAS seeded at The Traders Den, and he said this at the bottom. maybe you can try it Trader's Little Helper http://tlh.easytree.org/ or MD5 Summer http://www.md5summer.org/

PS: are you trying to burn right to a dvd or are you trying to make the bluray bdmv folder structure?.. i think you should try to get the Ulead MovieFactory 6 Plus HD Pack.

let us know if it works
