alanh Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 All, Nero This site says it will compress the program to MPEG4 and burn it to a standard DVD-R disk. This disk is playable on Blue Ray and HD DVD players. Has anyone tried it and what is the maximum program duration which will fit on to the disk? Of even more interest to me, is will it record HD/SD signals from a Nebula DVB-T tuner. AlanH
murrayt Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 alanh I've not tried it with Nero (although I have it) Did this with Vegas Pro 8.0 and Arcsoft TME with good results. I was only burning to a DL DVD as the program length was an hour or so and played it on my Sony BDPS300 Blu-ray player. (source was 1080i edited by VideoRedo TVS) I see no reason that burning to a Blu-ray would not work in a similar way as the file structure authored is what matters. The limitation of TME is that t downmixed the AC3 DD5.1 to DD2.0 Vut vegas passes through the DD5.1
digitaladvisor Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 alanh Nero 7 and 8 handles Blu Ray Burning. I do not know if Blu Ray file structure can be applied to a DVD-R disc. I suspect an EXTERNAL authoring program would do the trick then burn with Nero in DVD data mode keeping those structures. I have no Blu Ray drive at present. I CANNOT test Nero for DIRECT HDTV [1080i] to a DVD-R disc. I cannot see the point as it would transverse multiple disks. Nero 7 also handles HD MPEG [1080i] and SD [576i] easily. I do know that if your using standard DVD-R+R format it will shrink the MPEG to fit and downscale to 576i DVD compliant. In others it will transcode to fit as well. Example: 2 hrs of SD TV does fit onto a DVD-R disc. It will shrink or adjust by transcode to a lower quality MPEG 2 level. Nero at times appears requires help in keeping and detecting any DD 5.1 or AC3 sound stream. VideoRedo is used for this. If Nero does not need to recode the MPEG 2 Standard definition to fit onto a DVD-R it will only be around 10 minutes to burn. My partner has burned at LEAST 200 discs with VideoRedo and Nero 7. It has burned SBS, Two, Nine, Seven and Ten all successfully in SD. It has ALSO kept intact any HD PROVIDED the target is not to fit to a DVD-R - DVD authoring standard. I have not made a Blu Ray [single sided] disc in Nero at this stage using HD [1080i] material from TV. DA
