HD DVDs burning

[Don Schechter]

Finally trying to get all this excellent HPX footage shown properly...

Anyone have any experience burning HD DVDs in DVDSP through FCP? I had this odd issue where I compressed a file and DVDSP thought both the video and audio files were audio. Even though in the finder the video plays fine. Anyone experience this? (I don't remember exactly how i exported it...not at work right now...I attempted this after reading the long http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/hd_dvds_on_sd_dvds_young.html

Hi Don,

Have not seen that problem. My normal workflow is to output a .MOV from the FCP sequence, and then encode in compressor. Since my deliverables so far have been HD DVD 1080, I've been using AC-3 and MPEG-2 with an average bitrate around 18-19Mb/s, with a peak around 24Mb/s. Aside from making your DVDSP project HD, the rest is pretty straightforward.

HTH,
