If you encode it, it is going to lose size but you have it in the proper format to burn to a BD disc.

Any help with these files there is a ton of forums and links that could be provided.

To be honest with you. Give Chris (CjlCooter) a quick PM. He has read probably more than I have lately as I have been busy with other things.

Thanks for the info Paul, I sent Chris a message.

I can't wait to check out my HD footage even if I had to render to SD, as I know plenty of guys have done this, and the quality is fantastic.

No problem Nick, anytime.

That is why we are here to lend a hand or an idea or steer you in the right direction to find the answers you need.

Yes it is still going to look amazing as witnessed by Simon's recording and also Nikos Machine Head show that was put to DVD5.

Simply stunning, but I much prefer Blu Ray of course.

I will have a show soon that is already out, but it is being re-done from my Master Blu Ray. Will have Blu Ray and SD available to those who may be interested.

Thanks for the information though Kat.

Really cool that you have this knowledge of the format already. I am still reading up on it and of course very interested in more footage being released in HD as I have a BD burner.

well to be honest this is popping up all over the place regarding blueray and im trying to keep track for future reference..
hopefully soon it will become the norm and like std dvd authoring/burning it will become second nature

I finally got around to doing something w/ one of my HiDef masters. I rendered my Toxic Holocaust Master from m2t to SD video, and to my suprise, it looks fucking amazing. At least on my PC. We'll see how it looks once i have it authored and played on TV.

Still planning on getting the tools for Blu-Ray, but I was pleasantly suprised by this. Hopefully it will still look this good on DVD/TV.

It should, Nick. I've been happy with the shows I've done from HD to SD. Still looking forward to doing them up right at some point, but not right now.

Glad to hear that. I'll have another round of shows ready to go your way soon if you want them. Maruta, Crowpath and Misery Index are done, need to figure out the setlist for Rotten Sound.

So we going to do an SD transfer for the bands in October then do a 2 cam and the individual angles that way? Or should we mix them high def to start and convert from there? Decisions, decisions...

IDK, I say mix in HD then convert from there. It will take longer, but I think it'll work better.

What Nick said.

That is what is happening with the Blu Ray I am having redone. Synced up with LiveMet on the BD and then transferring afterwards to make a 2 dvd set from the Blu Ray.

Yeah, it makes sense to do it that way, now that I think about it. That way later on if we wanted to do a BR release, we wouldn't have to mix it again.
