I'm in the market for a Blu-Ray burner so that I can put a 2.5 hour video on a disc. I'm just now starting to research Blu-Ray burners; and they kind of sound like a pain to use. Has anyone used Studio 12 to edit HDV footage and burned to Blu-Ray? Can Studio 12 compress and prepare footage to be burned to Blu-Ray? What format does it need to be in in order to burn to Blu-Ray?

While Pioneer did not introduce a new generation of Blu-ray burner in 2008, the cost dropped dramatically from over $500 to under $300 and the Videoguys went out and put together an external USB bundle that allowed both PC &amp; Mac, desktop or laptop video editors to add Blu-Ray Disc burning to their machines. for under $300!! Our BDR-202 Mega X bundle includes the Vantec NexStar DX 5.25" External USB Enclosure for the BDR-202 drive that assembles in minutes and allows you to take the BDR-202 with you anywhere and attach it to any computer. All for just $299.95 and that includes a 6-pack of Verbatim Blu-Ray Media (5 BD-R and 1 BD-RE).</p> <p>In 2008 Blu-ray won the High Definition format war. There are millions of Sony PlayStation 3's in living rooms all over the world that are also Blu-ray players. This past holiday season prices on Blu-ray players dropped dramatically with many stores promoting Blu-ray players at under $250. With the release of "Dark Knight" on Blu-ray we finally have a title worth paying extra for, loaded with additional Blu-ray content and features.</p> <p>By now, many of our customers have migrated to HD camcorders. Now is the time to start delivering that HD content to your friends, family, customers and clients. Our BDR-202 Mega X bundle is the perfect solution for you. Especially if you are editing with Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3/CS4 or Sony Vegas Pro 8. You have all the software you need; all that is missing is this bundle. (Apple Final Cut Pro owners are still going to have to invest in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 or Production Premium CS4 to get Blu-ray Disc authoring).</p> <p><a href="http://www.videoguys.com/bdr202.html">Pioneer BDR-202 Mega X Bundle</a></p> <p>Gary</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-blu-ray-cam#post-42315 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 18:06:46 +0000 brandon0409 42315@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>To continue with what RockStar said.</p> <p>You may get a good deal on a BR camcorder, but the disks BR-R's are upwards of $20 to 25 (possibly $30) a piece depending on where you buy them.</p> <p>So that also needs to be taken into consideration in the purchase price.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-blu-ray-cam#post-42302 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:57:23 +0000 robgrauert 42302@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I do not know much about camcorders that record to blu-ray disks, but if I were in your shoes and thinking about purchasing an HD camcorder, I would buy one that records to a card. </p> <p> Camcorders that record to some kind of memory card usually(if not always) have no moving parts on the inside.

We went shopping at our local stores on Black Friday and we could not believe how many folks were checking out with a Blu-ray Disc player in their cart. Even more were asking questions including:</p> <ol> <li>What cables do I need to hook up to my HDTV up for the best quality?<br /> <em>Videoguys' answer: A good quality HDMI cable – which doesn't have to cost you $100. We sell high-quality <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/cables/index.html#dvcables">3 meter HDMI cables for just $29.95!</a></em> </li> <li>What big movies are available on Blu-ray Disc?<br /> <em>Videoguys' favorites include: The Godfather and The Matrix anthologies and we're looking forward to Lord of the Rings (which is in the works)</em> </li> <li>What is the best movie with the new advanced BD-Live interactivity?<br /> <em>Videoguys' answer: The answer to this may change with each new movie released but currently Warner's first blockbuster release with BD-Live is <strong>Batman: The Dark Night </strong>and the features are amazing! You can even set up an online chat community and watch the movie with friends across the globe!</em> </li> <li>Will stores be getting in any more of the under-$249 Blu-Ray players?<br /> <em>Videoguys' answer – Yes, it looks like these are the new price points for the holiday season and several manufacturers' are committed to that entry-level price. However, we really recommend spending a few dollars more to get a player that is firmware upgradeable so you will continue to get all of the cool new features being added to this technology. (Tip: Look first for a player with an Ethernet or USB port and then double check the specs)</em> </li> <li>How can I put my own HD footage from onto Blu-ray Disc?<br /> <em>Videoguys' answer: That's when you leave your big-box retail store and call Videoguys.com at 800 323-232! You'll need to add a Blu-ray disc burner like the Pioneer BDR-202 to your Mac or PC along with the software to support it.</em></li> </ol> <p>Videoguys has all the information and products you need to put your HD videos onto Blu-ray!!<br /> PC or Mac, internal or external, high end or beginner we have the tools for the job!</p> <p>Check out the Videoguys' Newest Blu-ray Disc Bundles! <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/blu-ray.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.videoguys.com/blu-ray.html</a></p> <p>Gary</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-format-for-straight-to-dvd-production#post-39428 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:32:53 +0000 Coreece 39428@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>1080p is considered "Full High Definition" and typically delivered though Blu ray at a frame rate of 24p.  30p is good too.  60p isn't available yet for 1080p, but I believe "they" are devising a plan to sell it to us in the future...</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-format-for-straight-to-dvd-production#post-39414 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:04:55 +0000 ehine11 39414@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What is the best format (24p, 30p, 60i, etc...) and resolution (1080i, 720p, etc...) for a production that will not be sent to film, but plan to be a blu-ray and standard DVD release?</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blue-ray-has-won-the-war#post-35345 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:20:11 +0000 brandon0409 35345@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I beg to differ about the better format.</p> <p>With all of the research I have done and with all the people I have interviewed in this particular field, along with many DVD producers, Blu-Ray is by far the superior product.</p> <p>I don't think that a mishap with a sony product warrant the entire product line to be inferior.</p> <p>Blue Ray has higher capacity<br /> More user functions<br /> etc.</p> <p>Just my 2 cents.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blue-ray-has-won-the-war#post-35264 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:25:52 +0000 DNSVideo 35264@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> It is too bad Blu-ray has won this one.  HD DVD was the better format of the 2 systems.  I also read a post online today that Microsoft is going to stop the HD DVD for it's game systems put are going to put the best of HD DVD's extras into its it's new disk players.  We here at DNS Video will have nothing to do with a Sony product after having a drive destroyed by Sony's rootkit it had on new 'blank' DVDs, with no compensation whatsoever from Sony.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blue-ray-has-won-the-war#post-35220 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 05:40:02 +0000 Ruthvideo 35220@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Toshiba has surrendered, finally we can move on.

This is January 2008 and magazine articles are claiming Blu-Ray as a winner.  As of today I know absolutely no one my age in their mid 30s who are not technologists avidly screaming for high def blu ray media or content.  Same with HD/DVD; no one is demanding it.  My wedding videographers are all saying that, my corporate videographer friends are saying that.</p> <p>And yet everyone I know in their 30s, 20s, and teens use online video every day.  So what does it mean that one format has won?  Does it mean that a hollywood studio gets to say, "We Won !" ?  Because from my day to day perspective I am selling  full length 2 hour long online video solutions to my clients today, and have been for years.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wedclip.com">Wedding video</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.virtualscribe.com/globalHope">Non profit video</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.virtualscribe.com/blackBoxChicago">Video  Podcasts</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dancecentrelombard.com">Local Event Video</a></p> <p>I asked myself whether it would be the year for HD in 2007, 2006, 2005...At some point I just found myself selling online video for profit while some suit in some hollywood office was pushing headlines on some paper I didn't care about.</p> <p>I can't answer to what will happen with HD and the practical everyday sale of the technology.  But I do know what's going on in the IT world.  Prices are dropping, hardware is cheaper, software is better, and software developers who are not innovative are having to look for other work.  At some point people will have to wake up and realize that HD will not sell more media.  Hoping for a bigger paycheck because of more bigger faster is just not true anymore.  What you get to live with is that you spend for more bigger faster and get paid the same amount or less.</p> <p>What about you?  How long have you been selling high def?  What are your projected timelines for practical applications of high def, after paying for hardware software learning and getting people to finally accept that their fate is high def?  Will it be too late, because all the kiddies have been shooting each other dozens of online video files for years already?  Best case scenario I think people will be forced to purchase high end cameras and computers and all new software.  And all this stuff will be delivered online because of the incredible interactivity which we experience similar to these forums.  Not an isolating experience non dynamic single disk with no future.  Probably great for libraries which need archival material on 25Gb disks.  And I'm not planning a career in library science any time soon.</p> <p>virtualscribe</p> <p><a href="http://www.wedclip.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wedclip.com</a></p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/anyone-burning-blu-ray-dvds-yet#post-34554 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:20:29 +0000 amospro 34554@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a G5 and I'm thinking about buying the External Lacie Blu Ray Burner.  I just shot a wedding in HD and finished editing it in HD but I have held off on buying a burner.  Can anyone give me any insight on brand name choice, compatibility, etc?</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/warner-bros-backs-blu-ray-and-mabee-paramount-also#post-34522 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 23:49:04 +0000 Brian Fisher 34522@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Well it looks like the High Def wars may be over.</p> <p>Jan 4, Warner Bros. announced they will releasing there titles exclusively in Blu-ray Disc format. <a href="http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Warner/Breaking:_Warner_Goes_Blu-ray_Exclusive/1325">Link</a> to article.</p> <p> It also looks like Paramount may follow suite. <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/dc409afa-bd75-11dc-b7e6-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1">Link</a> to article.</p> <p>I will be glad to see this war over so consumers can start making confident choices in their video purchases.</p> <p> Brian Fisher</p> <p>DVD Copycat, Inc.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dvdcopycat.com">San Francisco DVD Blu-ray and CD Duplication</a></p>
